Purchased TV show says "No Content" when I try to play it on AppleTV

I have an old AppleTV and I purchased a season of Parenthood. Apparently the AppleTV disk filled while it was downloading. *Some* of the episodes show up under the download menu item, and it looks like they can be redownloaded. However, some "appear" to have downloaded, but when I try to play them, a message saying "No Content" shows up. Is it possible to get them to redownload? If I delete them can I download again? If not, how do I fix this?

Original old one. (I actually have 2, the old one, and a someone newer, "streaming only" one that I got a year or 2 ago.) I have an "issue" with the older one as well. A year or so ago, my iTunes account got messed up, and I lost a bunch of movies, TV shows, etc that I had purchased. Many of them are on the old AppleTV still, but not in my iTunes account anymore, so I no longer sync that AppleTV with my iTunes account, or I'd lose those titles. So I can't resync from iTunes (hope that makes sense... I think I've got that right. That's the way it was described to me by an Apple Tech last year).
Anyway, I *did* find the two episodes in question on my iTunes account, and have now watched them on my computer, so the issue is somewhat moot, but would still like to know for future reference if there's anything else I can do in such a situation.

help please!

Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
If you go to iTunes Store on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
Is this a purchase or a rental?

Delete the file, then download again from the iTunes Store, Purchased section (in the Quick Links sidebar).

I just update my flash player but it is showing "blocked plugin" now when I try to play a video

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I recently purchased music on my iPhone (4) and am now trying to transfer those purchases onto my computer. However, when I try to play the music it says my computer isn't authorized to play it. I have already authorized this computer, what do I do?

I tried unauthorizing then reauthorizing it but the same thing happened.

Oh, and I'm not sure how relevant or necessary this information is, but the iTunes store on my computer doesn't work either, which led me to buy the music on my phone. I try to open it and the top says "Accessing iTunes Store..." and never gets past like a little bit less than half. I looked at some other discussions but none of the suggested solutions worked.

I bought and downloaded the latest snow leopard and lost most of my pictures and most of my i tunes music. The pictures show in iphoto but when i try to open them I get a big "!" and when my music shows in Itunes but when I try to play it, it wont open

I need help... Since downloading the latest snow leopard, I cant open most of my pictures in iphoto or play most of my music in Itunes.

Before you bought Snow Leopard, did you check that your machine met the specifications? Have you enough memory, ideally you need 4GB though 2GB is okay,
Have you also applied the various software update updates which include iTunes and security updates.
Check in the Apple menu, about this Mac, and if your new disk shows as being 10.6.3 this is what to do.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
Regards

Welcome to Apple Communities
Select the songs and go to Edit > Delete. Then, download the music in iTunes Store

I just updated my iphone to ios5 now when i go to music it says 'no content' when i checked my capacity it shows 7.9gb in 'other' . i can also see all my music is on the 'device' only when i go on the computer

i just updated my iphone to ios5 now when i go to music it says 'no content' when i checked my capacity it shows 7.9gb in 'other' . i can also see all my music and apps on the device menue in itunes.

I went to the Summary page of iTunes and checked "Sync only checked songs and videos". Synced again, and no songs were playable. Unchecked my only playlist and synced again. All the songs were gone as expected. Checked my playlist again, and all the songs were there. Looked at them under the music tab, but they were all grayed out. Tried to play any of them, but could not. Tried to sync again and received the message, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
Every time I connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes, it says "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone ____. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I click "Continue Restore" (I'm tempted to click "delete backup.) It then says, "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-54). I click OK. I'm redirected to the "Set up your iPhone screen". It's already selected to "Restore from backup of ___'s iPhone". Click continue. It restores for about 2 minutes. iTunes says my settings have been restored and wait for it to restart. And again the message that "iTunes was interrupted..." (see above). Crap.
How do i get this back to where it belongs?

I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

AppleTV1 only supports HD upto 720p - chances are the iPad HD vserion is 1080p and beyond ATV1 capability.
Also do not expect recent iTunes purchases to appear on AppleTV 1 store menus as purchased - ATV1 does not know about 'cloud access'.
Best option is to download the 720p version (set in iTunes Preferences on computer iTunes) and sync/stream to AppleTV 1 from iTunes.

How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

Thanks. This seems to have worked easily.

Also, try a game called Supremacy1914 and run that game. Its an outside browser game (Essintially) that runs via Java. It should give you a security option to allow the certificate to play the game. Some games require certificates and depending on your user account, it could be blocked.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
