Purchased entire season but it was placed in my queue scrambled

I purchased an entire season of LOST. When I went to the download queue, the episodes where totally out of sequential order. I need to know if there is a way to adjust the download order in the iTunes application. I have a total monthly data tranfer limit of 20 GB with my ISP so I cannot just download it unattended. I am working in India this year and this is a typical plan here unlike in the US where I had an unlimited data limit. I just thought that I would download them off the queue everyfew nights as needed. I would have to pay a considerable premium to allow this download to come in all at one time. I contacted customer service and they basically told me too bad and that they would remove the items at my loss of payment and emailed me a link to their purchase policy/legal documents which I really did not appreciate because I never expected to recieve the season in a scrambled fashion. The season is being treated like an "album" which would really not matter how it came in because an "audio album" is so much smaller in size. But a TV show does matter. Also, there really isn't any label or indication of which is the episode order unless you check the itunes where they list it in sequence. Exactly what I would expect to have been given.

Thank You for your response. That is a very sensible idea. Ultimately, customer service did refund me after some prodding through additional communications. They implied that they could not reorder the download queue for me either. I don't really understand what would be so difficult. I would guess that there is some sort of automated system that queues them in order of availability (who knows) perhaps the manpower involved in reordering on a regular basis would be too much. Anyhow, the issue is resolved but it would be a nice feature to at least have a skip function as you download so that you can get to something on the queue and save the rest for later in such large queues. I will just have to purchase them one at a time because it will be difficult for me to easily have access to another ISP for the number of hours that would be required to download a large amount of data.
I am glad that apple has eventually given me the customer service that I have become accustomed to.

  • Erica Phone rep from California call center said order is placed and awaiting supervisor's approval, but NOTHING was placed and no follow up

    Erica Phone rep from California call center said order is placed and awaiting supervisor's approval, but NOTHING was placed and no follow up.  I'm very displeased with Verizon customer Service.  I guess I should expect that, given they are this giant and why should they care about 1 customer, even if its a very loyal one. 
    I was told that my order for an iPhone is placed and all it need is to get an approval from supervisor for a $300 coupon off a regular priced device.  This "need supervisor's approval" apparently is how Verizon reps get people off the line and forget about any promises made.  I called to follow-up and was told that someone from the call center will call me back.  Guest What??? No one did, even after I went to the corporate store in downtown San Francisco and spoke to the store manager there.
    I guess I should lower my expectations about a company which spends billions on advertisement, but delivers empty promises.

  • If I purchase an entire season for a show, I should get it even if more episodes are added later right? Plus, how do I access an old account without access to the email it was created with?

    Issue 1: I had purchased the entire season of Off Limits, and downloaded the available episodes when purchased, yet the season wasn't over. Since I purchased the entire season, I should be able to get the episodes added since then instead of having to buy them seperately like iTunes is asking me to do correct? Issue 2: Also, I had an old apple id on a computer that crashed and never got the chance to change it over to the new email even if the purchase was transferred via my iPod I was using at the time, and is on the pc i'm using now. Yet when I go to play this file, it asks for the password for the old email account (which I no longer have access to) and this has been nearly 7 years ago so I forgot what the password is to that acct. What do I do to rectify this and play this particular purchase?

    i just dowloaded an il divo album.  when it was placed on my ipod classic it came in as 8 different songs; not listed as 1 album with 8 songs.  this has happened before with other purchases.  Why?  How can I insure an entire album is saved as an entire album and not individual songs. And now how can I move individual songs to the album they belong in?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • HT5070 I purchased an entire season of a TV show, but only 6 out of 7 episodes are listed

    I purchased an entire season of a TV show, but only six out of 7 episodes are listed in my library.  When I return to the store, episodes 1-6 are noted as available to download, and episode 7 is listed as available to buy for 2.99.  When I select buy, the store returns the message that I have already purchased that episode.  That is true, so why is it not listed in the cloud as available to download, and/or available to view on my Apple TV list for Season 1?

    Hello CBWnc,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If the emailed receipt shows you purchased a season of shows with Complete My Season but one of the episodes is problematic.
    I would try signing out of the iTunes store from the Store menu in iTunes, then restart the computer and sign back in.
    To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
    In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    From: iTunes 10 for Windows: Sign in or out of the iTunes Store

    If you do not see the Menu bar and as such, cannot click Store, you may need to enable the menu bar.

  • 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

  • Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in my itunes library, or purchase history. The iPhone was unauthorized, but connected to my iTunes account.

    So I got a new iPhone about a month or two ago (I no longer have this iphone) and I bought some albums from iTunes but now that I'm on my computer (which the iphone is not authorized on) I cant seem to find out how to download the albums I downloaded. The albums were bought on the iPhone through the iTunes app that was associated with my account. The songs show as purchased on the iTunes store, but theyre not in my purchased list.

  • Purchased a Season of a TV show, but the last episodes are showing up as needing to be purchased again?

    Out of curiosity, I purchased Season 1 of The Devils Ride. At the time, there were only 3 episodes. I was notified when episode 4 became available and was able to download / watch the episode without problem, but since then there have been 2 new episodes, and those 2 are not available for download.... rather they have an individual purchase price listed nex to them. However, the season is being shown as "purchased" in the itunes store.
    What the heck is that about? How can I purchase as season, have iTunes say "this season is purchased' but then when I look at the listings for the episodes, it seems I have to buy the last few episodes on their own.
    Is there anyway to get the store to register the fact that I purchased access to the whole season? I'm kind of frustrated that iTunes thinks I need to buy these individual eppisodes even though the season is clearly being registered as purchased.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • I preordered an album and it was fine and said I preordered it all week but it was supposed to be available today but I did not receive an email and now it says I have to purchase it again.  What do I do?

    If you are doing it on your computer's iTunes then does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it, and/or does it show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for downloading :

  • I've purchased a season pass but can't download new episodes until I pay again?

    I've never actually purchased anything on the iTunes Store apart from ringtones &amp; apps, but i purchased a season pass for season 3 of The Valleys... I can see there's a new episode out but it's telling me to purchase the season pass again? It was fine for episode 1 &amp; 2 but not 3. When I purchased it I was understanding that I have purchased every episode &amp; can download the new episodes once they're available on the iTunes Store. Is there anything I can do?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email).
    What happens when you try to download the episodes ? I assume that those 2 episodes are available in your country's store (?).
