Playing partially downloaded TV show

It seems that I can play a TV show purchased from the iTunes Store while it's still downloading if I'm in iTunes, but it doesn't show up in Front Row.
Does anyone know how to get it to show up in Front Row while it's still downloading?
As it is, it really negates the point of a remote control, and makes me sit in the really, really front row.

Front Row is not iTunes. Front Row does have access to the iTunes library, however. Until the TV show is available in the iTunes library, I don't think there's any way to make it play in Front Row. Why not just watch it in iTunes since that works?

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • Why doesn't the new i-tunes allow me to save partial downloads of shows?

    at my home base i start to download a show but then i receive a network error. the download starts all over. i go to another city for business, use the internet access but i-tunes allows me to pause and resume my download of shows. this question may have been answered but i am totally stymied. why did they change i-tunes? before you could pause and resume. i live in indonesia so downloading is often interrupted, thus always having to restart my downloads.

    Please, I am a travelling consultant and have the same problem, I just recently bought 24 season 6 and cannot download it. ITunes must have understood this and thought of a way to save partial downloads so in time you could complete the full download. Please can someone answer this question?
    Thanks.

  • Partially downloaded TV show episode, suddenly starts over...

    I am living in Uganda, accessing the internet with a SLLOOOWWW dial up connection. I have purchased a season pass to a TV show, and have been downloading available episodes. Twice now, a show has been excruciatingly close to complete (after over 12 hours of downloading), then suddenly it seems that all the data is lost, and it starts over from scratch. Suddenly I'm back at 0MB of 493.6MB - 16 hours remaining. Ouch. Anyone know where the partially downloaded episodes are saved? I'm curious to know if the data was really lost...
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    I know you may not have any other options, but keep in mind that iTunes requires a broadband connection. Dial-up can cause all sorts of yuckiness.
    If downloading never seems to complete, you may want to consider the following:
    1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
    2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
    3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running (this is especially important for dial-up users such as yourself)
    4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
    Dial-up + security software can have some strange results sometimes.
    Hope this helps. Keep us updated

  • My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    My Purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message: "an unknown error occurred -50". I tunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

  • HT4352 i have downloaded a tv show on my mac to play on Apple tv but it isn't streaming properly. It is completely downloaded on the mac but only partially downloaded on Apple tv

    Apple tv not playing Mac downloaded shows properly. Streaming pauses and message says program will be ready for viewing in 1 hour or often longer. Why is this if show is already on Mac and home sharing is turned on?

    How is the movie being selected on the ATV to be played, under "Movies" or "Computer"?

  • Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

    Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
    P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

  • I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and can't go any further.  How do I fix this?

    I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and will not go any further.  What can I do?  I am using a pc.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • TS1717 I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies.  Everytime I attempt to play them, iTunes stops working and closes.

    I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies.  Everytime I try to play them, iTunes stops working and closes.  Any information will help.

    Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
    If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.

  • How do I delete a tv show that I accidentally purchased? It is partially downloaded and takes up too much space on my iPad.

    How do I delete a tv show that I accidentally purchases? It is partially downloaded. It will take up to much space on my iPad. I don't care about the charge for the show- I just want to get rid of it. Thanks

    Let it download, then delete it.

  • HT204370 I purchased a movie yesterday and started the download.  The download seemed to hang up at about 90%.  Finally, it showed that it was ready to watch, but the movie will not play.  Download is apparently corrupt.  How do I get a working version?

    I purchased a movie yesterday and started the download.  The download seemed to hang up at about 90%.  Finally, it showed that it was ready to watch, but the movie will not play.  Download is apparently corrupt.  How do I get a working version?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • My downloaded TV Shows are played in random order, how do i fix this?

    My downloaded TV Shows are played in random order, how do i fix this?
    Basically I have 10 complete seasons of Friends and I often watch it again and again but at the moment my itunes play my tv shows in random order!
    Please help!

    First, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes on your computer. Update your Apple TV if you are using this as well.
    Second, if the updates don't resolve it, you'll need to use 'Get Info' on each TV episode. Make sure the media type is 'TV Show'. Then make sure that the epside number and season information is entered properly.
    That should fix your issue.

    Did you burn the CD as an audio CD?
    If not, that's your problem. Otherwise, without more details I can only guess. You might try a different brand of disk, or if you're using CD-RW try CD-R.
    Regards.
