Purchased TV series' cannot be watched!
I have purchased 2 full TV series', 10 episode of the one (Luther) and 3 episodes of the second TV series (Zen) from iTunes. I had endless problems watching Luther because I could see the episodes but most of them wouldn't play on either my iMac or my Apple TV but I eventually got this sorted about a month ago.
Over the last 2 days I have downloaded the three episodes of Zen, which was a trial in itself becasue initially, having paid-up, iTunes wouldn't allow me to download them via my iMac but I managed to overcome this glitch in the end by waiting 24 hours.
I have now come to play them and episodes 1 and 3 will only play in Quicktime. If I try to play them in iTunes (which I believe I would have to do to be able to watch the series via my Apple TV) I get an error message stating 'This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes' but episode 2 is perfectly happy to play in iTunes, although none of them will play on the Apple TV, despite it playing music videos, music and all other functions seeming to work fine.
Furthermore, I thought I'd double check the Luther series just in case and that's not working again now either, in that episodes 1 thru' 8 are OK but episodes 9 and 10 are only viewable via QuickTime and if I try to play them in iTUnes I get the same error message as stated previously.
Am I doing something wrong or is the system rubbish?

Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network
My wireless printing chooses when it wants to work, and right now it's really acting up. It is connected wirelessly, it is the default printer, but after troubleshooting it is telling me "Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network." What can I do to get printing again?
Hello featherfamily,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not connecting with a wireless connection.
Please click on the following link that deals with when the 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

I'm new to iPad mini and uv I'm trying to get a movie I purchased to where I can watch it offline but when I click the option to download and watch offline it keeps giving me and error with download try again later I have a good wifi connection ??
You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Can I Purchase tv series after downloading a single episode
can I Purchase tv series after downloading a single episode
It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
This is not a decision made by Apple.
It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out. -

Hello, while back I purchased some music videos , I see them on my purchases but I cannot see the full videos why??? only like 30seconds.
You have just experienced what Apple and ITunes is
designed to do. Prevent you from sharing purchased
music from ITunes. That's the way it is suppose to
work. Now, do your purchased songs play using ITunes.
Play them, see if you get any warning. Next reload
the songs again on your IPOD. Before disconnecting,
locate the songs on your IPOD using ITunes and
attempt to play them. Do they play. If they do you
can properly disconnect your IPOD.
Yes, they do play in iTunes. (And just in case you don't know, I am on my home computer where I originally set up my iPod.) When I hook up my iPod to my computer the songs are there on my ipod, while veiwing it on iTunes, and they play, they just won't play on my iPod. And no, I don;t get an authorization window that pops up when I play the song/video, they play automatically -
Can someone pls help me?? Okay..I've been trying to fix this for DAYS now! When I sign in (under settings) w my new apple ID, then go to update or purchase something I cannot get the new apple ID to come up. It's still using the old one (which is disabled) ..please help!
Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?
Read this - instructions if the ID was disabled for entering the wrong password.

After downloading into my computer, I tried syncing to my iPad but to no avail. The purchased tv series would not sync. So then I tried to download via wifi directly to my iPad and the first two episodes downloaded no problem. The following 6 episodes then said that the video format was not compatible with my iPad and therefore would not download. What should I do. I don't even know who to ask in Apple nor how to get in touch without paying a fee.
Hi, jjsylves.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the media is still located on your computer, I would create a version specifically for the iPad. To create and iPad version in iTunes 11 select the media that you are wanting to convert. From there, select the File menu > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV version. Once the media has been converted, sync the iPad version to the iPad.

Trying to play purchased TV series to my Apple TV, I am requested to authorise the computer. This has already been done and I have tried the suggestions regarding authorisation. I can play the programs on my computer, but not the Apple TV.
Any ideas?in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app
