Playing TV Show episodes continuously

I have purchased a season of TV shows through the iTunes Store. I want to be able to press play at the beginning of the season, and have each episode play continuously when the previous one finishes. (It's a children's show with 10 minute long episodes and I can't deal with having to start each episode off for my 2 year old - don't judge me!).
How can I set the season so each episode plays continuously? Very grateful for any help. I can normally fix these things by googling but I can't find an acceptable solution that doesn't involve messing around in iTunes on my PC. Thanks in advance.

Ah, in this case, it looks like the titles to some of your files have been truncated.
In your home file, do a search for the movie, then update the title manually. With a Mac, you can probably get the specific data by doing COMMAND-i; I can't tell you what the shortcut might be in Windows. Retitling the track seems like it should work, albeit in a less than automatic fashion.

Is it possible to play TV show episodes one after the other on Itouch?

My Ipod gen3 would automatically play episodes one after the other but my Itouch goes back to the list and I have to manually select the next episode. They are all set up with the proper Show, Year, Episode, etc. Is there a setting selection I'm missing?

Perhaps you may have heard EyeTV and thought it was AppleTV? EyeTV from Elgato lets you connect external video devices and pipe the video to your Mac display:

How can I prevent the Videos in iOS 8 from automatically playing the next episode of a TV Show?

I noticed that, after updating my iOS device from iOS 7 to 8, that when it's finished playing a TV Show episode in the Videos app, it begins playing the next one. I like to fall asleep, listening to a single episode knowing that it'll stop and eventually let my iPad fall asleep, but with this change in iOS 8, it will play through the rest of season before doing so.

Thanks.
I noticed you bolded "Apple-branded apps" from the first sentence of section 2 (c).
What is the definition of "Apple-branded" in this context?
For example, "Apple Watch" is now a preinstalled app, and would seem to fit the definition of "Apple-branded", but I can't uninstall it.

You can remove those and install them later again by downloading them again for free.
(c)To the extent that Apple has preinstalled Apple-branded apps from the App Store on your iOS Device at the time of purchase (“Preinstalled Apps”),

How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music. Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon. It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.

Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

How to play only one episode of a podcast on the iPod Classic 120GB?

With my previous iPod-- the 60GB iPod Photo-- I could play only one episode of a podcast. I would scroll to "Podcasts" on the main menu, find the name of the podcast I wanted to hear, click on an episode and only that one would play. If I wanted to listen to all the episodes of that particular podcast, I'd access it through the Playlist feature.
The system above for playing a single episode doesn't seem to work on the iPod Classic 120 GB. All the episodes play no matter how I access the podcast.
What am I overlooking?
Thanks.

I must have had the Shuffle setting turned on for the old iPod, but I forgot all about that.
Probably not! My 30GB video iPod will only play one Podcast episode at a time and this does not change by using shuffle. I think your 60Gb iPod was the same as the 30GB.
As S_Edwards has posted and as you have found, the Classic does use shuffle to alter the way Podcasts are played. Quite why Apple use shuffle to control single or continuous playing of Podcasts, and then not document it either, is a mystery.
As a useful reminder, while the Podcast is playing, the screen display will show 1 of 1 to denote single-episode mode or 1 of x to denote continuous-episode mode.

Apple TV won't load/play TV shows from my iTunes account

When I try to play TV shows and movies from my iTunes library, my Apple TV won't play them. It'll just continuously think about doing it, and on the time taskbar at the bottom it shows that it's slowly loading the video, but it won't physically play any of the content (and I've left it running for a good 15 - 20 minutes). I've tried playing different shows and episodes, and it's the same result. It will play songs from my library, however if I try to physically control what it plays through my laptop (by making the speakers Apple TV) the sound will cut out after eight or nine seconds of playing and refuse to play it after that point.
I've tried unplugging the Apple TV several times, restarting my iTunes, and nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Or even what's causing it?

I'm having this same problem suddenly as of 2 or 3 days ago, around the same time as you. The spinny animation appear for a few second, with the scrubbar, then it bails out to "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." My network has had no configuration changes in a while. My AppleTV2 and my MacBook Pro [10.7.2] have also not seen configuration changes in some time. Makes me wonder if ATV, or iTunes, has had an update that broke things.
I've played my iTunes movies over the network fine since I bought the AppleTV over a year ago. 720p, 1080p, etc., have all played fine. Now, those exact same movies are not playing. I've tried:
Changing Wi-Fi Channels.
Upgrading firmware in Airport Express. That's the WAP the MacBook is connected to. ATV is connected directly over wired Ethernet. It was a Minor Version behind, and did upgrade successfully.
Power-cycling everything. MBP, router/modem, Ethernet switches, ATV, and the external 1TB firewire drive my iTunes library is on.
Verifying that Internet-based movies play in ATV. They do. Netflix, etc., all play fine.
Plugging the MacBook Pro directly into wired Ethernet. Wi-fi completely out of the picture. I verified Internet and LAN connectivity was good, but still, ATV won't play anything.
Ensuring ATVs firmware and OS were latest.
Ensuring MacBook Pro's OS was latest.
Verifying that I can play those movies directly from the external drive, by way of Finder.
Ug.

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

I am trying to watch tv shows that i have purchased but part way through the show it pauses and will not allow me to play the show. What do i do?

I am trying to watch a tv show that was purchased but part way through the show it pauses and it will not allow me to continue playing the show.

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

TV Show Episodes on iTunes Missing from Apple TV

I've got Apple TV 2.0 and iTunes 7.6.1. Apple TV is set for automatic sync.
I bought six episodes of a TV show two days ago, but only the first two episodes appear in the list of shows. If I expand Apple TV in the devices list and look at TV Shows, it shows those first two episodes as being on the Apple TV.
Now, I've watched both episodes and I'd like to watch the 3rd, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Apple TV seems to be syncing fine with my Mac (it shows up as syncing every so often in iTunes). How can I view more episodes of this show?

Whether iTunes has synced all six episodes to your Apple TV or is planning on streaming them, all six episodes should appear on your TV. (When iTunes is running on your Mac, otherwise +only synced+ items appear on your Apple TV.) Do you have "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV" selected in iTunes, under the Summary tab?
Although I don't have a definitive answer, what I'd try is:
1) Quit and restart iTunes. Ensure that your Apple TV can see iTunes, perhaps by downloading some podcast to your Mac and verifying that you can see it on your Apple TV.
2) In iTunes, switch to Custom Sync and then go to the TV Shows tab and sync All Episodes of just that one show. Remember to press the Sync button.
3) Try restarting the Apple TV by holding both the Menu and Down arrow buttons for several seconds (six?).
4) Try playing the troublesome episodes in iTunes. Ensure that they're marked as Not New (right click the episodes and select "Mark as Not New" from the context menu).
Good luck!

How do you see individual tv show episodes and not the cover for the tv show in cover flow?

I used iFlicks to import some of my TV series to iTunes. I then selected the cover flow view because its easier to see when sitting on the coach. The only problem i've got is that iTunes shows covers for each TV series but I can't seem to find a way to see how many episodes are in a series and how to select that episode. This is specifically for cover flow view. I took screenshot that shows Season 1 of Alphas that consists of 5 episodes:
[IMG]http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd432/vmoodleyzaf/ScreenShot2011-12-21at1933 27.png[/IMG]
As you can see in the screenshot, there's no indication of the episodes contained within the series. If anyone has any ideas about this, i'd really appreciate it.

If you are in Cover Flow view, fullscreen, selecting the cover only plays the first episode of the series. I even tried downloading an entire season from iTunes and it does the same thing. Obviously, iTunes names the episodes and season numbers correctly. If I press the skip button on the remote while watching an episode, it jumps to the next episodes without showing any info about the new episode. Please note that this is in fullscreen mode. If I exit fullscreen mode, then a list of episodes is shown below the cover of the tv show. However, that list is not viewable from a distance.

Hi, If I play a single episode of a full season on Apple TV / I-Phone / I-Pad, the last played adds the date to all episodes in that season, is it a setting I need to reset

Does TV Shows show as a category under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes ? If it does, and that series is still in your country's store, then it should show there and you can download it from there (click the cloud icons) onto your Mac's iTunes library - you can then sync the episodes to your phone.

Try this First...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account,,,, Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

TS2972 Can't play TV shows with Home Sharing

I have home sharing turned on on both my home computer (a PC) and my Mac. When I try to play music, it works just fine, but when I try to play TV shows, all I get is a black screen. Help!

We are having this exact same problem - started happening after we did the software update tonight. Have tried restarting, resetting, and all the other obvious tricks. It seemed to work for a minute when we used the iPad ATV remote, but that stopped working after a couple of minutes too. We can play previews, and iTunes library stuff, but not movies or TV shows purchased via the ATV. We've got a new episode of game of thrones sitting there that we can't play - very frustrating!

Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared. This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch." I purchased the entire season and had watched one show. It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5.
About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook. while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing.
Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass. After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available.
I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs. I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time. Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering.
Any ideas?

This may help

As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p
