Trying to play the tv shows and movies on my ipod but no video comes out?

i have downloaded some tv shows, podcasts and movies off of itunes and when i put them on my ipod they do not show a picture. its just sound. what am i doing wrong? i dont think its a conversion thing since they play on itunes...
why wont the videos show but the sound plays?

I have the opposite issue. I play my tv shows and movies on itunes off my computer but all I get is the audio. The picture shows up in flashes every couple of times but does not stay on. I have the most recent Itunes (7.6.1)available and am running Windows Vista. Any help available?

Some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized"

All of my library plays on my MAC and Apple TV, but some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized" . If I download them directly to my IPAD they will play. iPad and MAC are all up to date. I have restarted the IPAD 2 and MAC multiple times.

Where are the TV Shows and Movies

Hi Everyone,
Newbie Mac user here....
Where are the tv-shows and movies that were announced today? When I pull the i-Tunes store I can only see music related downloads.
Is this feature available in Canada?
Thanks!

No; TV shows and movies are currently only available in the US. Apple says it hopes to take movies international in 2007.

Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.

Itunes 7 shuts down when i go to the TV shows and Movies section

why do my itunes 7 keep on shuting down when i go to movies and tv shows. it says "unable to show album covers on t his computer"
...i need help

my computer does the exact same thing, I can go into my setting, music, almost anything except Tv shows and movies.

Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

I have bought a new macbook pro 13 retina. I had an apple id with my iPhone 4 which I stopped using a month ago. Now I am trying to download the apps, notes and contacts onto my mac but it is not happening? Any help will be gratefully accepted

I have bought a new macbook pro retina 13. I am not too familiar with Mac yet. I had an apple account with my iphone 4 which I stopped using a month ago. Now when I was trying to download the apps from that account but I dont know how to do this and I am unable to do so. I would be grateful if anyone can advise me with regards to this?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

My ipod wont sync any of the tv shows I bought from my ipod, but I can sync the ones that I bought from my computer. I didnt click manually manage tv shows and I made sure to click all of them to sync. I didnt get them illegally btw. Thanks !

thanks for reading this people.
I have a third generation 32 GB ipod touch. I have the second newest version of itunes, and use a Windows 7. I bought 28 tv shows from my ipod (NOT computer) (some of them were the free kinds, if that has anything to do with anything). But, when I tried to sync them onto my cmoputer, then sync them BACK onto my ipod. it wont...
I DID NOT check the manually manage videos thing, and i DID click all of them to sync. It is sorta bugging me because i really want to see my glee..:D
but the weird things is, my songs and apps that i bought from my ipod WILL sync back. But it is just my tv shows... x(
PLEASE help!!!!!!!!!!
if there is anything else you need to know to help me, please tell!
thanks,
Sarah

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

Trying to watch downloaded TV shows and noo sound!!

I am trying to watch movies and 24 episodes that I downloaded on to my computer and they will play but there is nooo sound! I know for a fact all my volume buttons are up because if i try to play a song from my itunes library i hear it perfectly fine but for some reason the tv shows and movies will not work! I don't know what to do!

Why cant I download TV Shows and Movies

I recently purchased an iTunes $50 voucher to purchase TV Shows and movies off iTunes and I have been told that I cannot because I am not in the US. I have just wasted $50 that I could of went out and bought box sets when they came out.
I want to know why and if i can download tv shows and movies out of the US ( i am in australia), I bought a 30GB video ipod to watch the TV Shows and movies, but when I found out I am disgusted that we cant do it.
WHY?
Windows XP/Vista Windows XP Pro

Sorry, but as has been said here many times already, the movie studios (so far only Disney and Paramount even in the US) have not licensed Apple to sell movies outside of the US. There's nothing Apple can do unless and until they're granted the rights. When, or indeed if, this will happen, no one can say, though Apple has said that they hope to be able to offer movies internationally sometime in 2007.
As to TV shows, there have been no indications if, much less when, the show owners will ever license Apple to sell them outside the US.
Again, sorry, but we'll all just have to wait and see.

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version. Any ideas??

ME TOO.
I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
* movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
* for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
* Items are showing up multiple times.
* A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
* Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
* Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

I can no longer purchase music directly from the Apple TV. I can still buy TV shows and movies but no music.....

I can no longer purchase music directly from the Apple TV. I can still buy TV shows and movies but no music.....my iTunes match is there.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the router, the Apple TV and iTunes.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
