TV show downloaded from iTunes stops intermittently playing

It is doing my head in TV shows that I have downloaded from iTunes intermittently stops whilst viewing them through Apple TV. I have tried everything from unplugging Apple TV, Checking WIFI connection & speed , not sure what else to do as it is right beside the modem so should work perfectly. I have made sure it isn't sitting on anything that would interfere.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

It will be an issue with the local network
Try connecting via ethernet
To see a status of your network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report. Look for signal strength, noise, Nearby networks

TV shows downloaded from Itunes are only playing audio, not video. What's going on?

Hi there,
My tv shows aren't playing. I've checked both ones that I just downloaded as well as ones that have been there for awhile. None are playing video -- just audio. Any idea what could be going on here? I did go into disk utility and repaired permissions (found this on another site), but that hasn't helped. Dying to see that last episode of Breaking Bad!!!! Please help if you can.

I shut down and restarted and it seems to be working...

ITunes won't play tv shows downloaded from iTunes Store

I can't play the tv shows that I downloaded from the iTunes store. Everytime I try to open up a tv show I get the error message, "iTunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Now, I don't have a problem with playing songs from my musical library. It is just the video or tv shows that will not play. I have tried to open a show (6) six times with the same message. Here is the report I got from the Problem Reports and Solution panel. Please help! Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to read. hope this helps someone in the future.

Downloaded from iTunes, won't play in iDVD

I have some mpeg4 files that I downloaded from the iTunes Library online. I am attempting to use them in an iDVD project, but some of them will not play. Some others will play. The ones that won't play in iDVD will still play in iTunes.
The files that don't work seem to have a little padlock in the upper left corner that I cannot get rid of.
Any suggestions?

Hello Curt,
The tracks that won't play in iDVD, were those tracks that you imported from a CD? Or did you purchase and download directly from iTunes?
If you can’t play a song purchased from the iTunes Store, you may have exceeded the number of computers on which you can play your purchases.
Unless the song is an iTunes Plus version, you can play an iTunes Store purchase on up to five authorized computers. After you authorize five computers (by playing purchases on those computers), you can’t play the songs on a sixth computer until you deauthorize one of the five authorized computers. (For instructions on deauthorizing a computer, click the first link below.)
If the song is available as an iTunes Plus download, you may ugrade the song at the iTunes Store.
If you're listening to a shared library or playlist, iTunes skips iTunes Store purchases if your computer hasn't been authorized to play them. To listen to a purchased song in a shared library or playlist, double-click the song. If your computer isn't authorized to play songs purchased by the person who is sharing the song, you'll need to enter that person's Apple or AOL account ID and password to hear the song.
You might be trying to play an AAC file that was not created using iTunes or downloaded from the iTunes Store. Songs you download from the iTunes Store or import into your library using the AAC encoder are encoded using the new MPEG-4 AAC format, and play in iTunes and on your iPod. Other AAC files that you find on the Internet or elsewhere won't play in iTunes.
If you’re trying to play a song on a CD that you burned using iTunes, make sure the equipment on which you're trying to play the CD is appropriate for the disc's format. For example, if you burned a CD-RW disc, you can play it only on your computer and some newer CD players. If you burned an MP3 disc, it should work in your computer and on special MP3 CD players, but not on standard consumer audio CD players. You can't play DVDs burned using iTunes on most consumer DVD players.

Is there any way to edit a tv show downloaded from itunes in imovie or some other software?

I have a project that I need to put a different sound track under a tv episode. I downloaded an episode from itunes, but I can't manipulate it in imovie. Is there a way to do this with another piece of software? This is just for my own entertainment, not for any commercial purpose.

If the TV Show is downloaded on your iPad, you don't need Wi-Fi to watch it.

Storing TV Shows Downloaded from iTunes on External Drive?

My HP has about 137 GB of storage available and I am now using almost 130 GB. 60 GB is for several TV shows and movies I have downloaded. (Entire 1st year of Six Feet Under, West Wing and Mad Men plus Godfather, Animal House, etc.)
What I want to do is store these items on an external drive and access them only when needed. The saving to the external drive went well, but now I have three questions:
1. How do I take the TV Shows out of iTunes/my hard drive to free up space?
2. I have an iPod Touch and iPhone for my wife. How do I sync these machines so that some or all of a series of TV shows is captured on the devices? (I intend to leave my music in the iTunes library as well as photos etc., if possible to do so and still sync.)
3. I accidentally deleted several episodes of a program from my iTunes library -- is it possible to get these back without buying them a second time?
Thanks in advance
Kerry

1) Hey there, I think the best way for your case is to use 2 separate itunes libraries.
One for TV/movies and a second for music/podcasts/etc.
So use this article to create a new itunes library _on your exHD_ - meaning, the actual ITL file you create _is on the exHD with movies_. Post back if you do not understand this important part. Otherwise you are going to have a big mixup of library files on your C: drive, I think.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/8.0/en/15502.html
It will show up as a blank library, and then you just drag the movie/TV folders over to it fro WIndows Explorer.
Once you are sure that new library is working OK, you can delete them from your original itunes library. In itunes just highlight them, and press delete.
Don't delete them from your actual C: hard drive until you have made sure everything is OK!
And you might consider burning them to a DVD data disk - it's risky having one copy of purchases.
Even exHDs can fail.

No audio/visual on TV show downloaded from iTunes app on iPod touch

I downloaded a $3.99 Avatar TV episode from the iTunes app on my 2nd gen iPod touch, and it seemed to go smoothly until I tried playing the episode. It appears to be playing but all I see is black and there is no audio. I restarted my iPod twice; still, same problem. I can't re-download it without paying again. I have downloaded other Avatar TV episodes the same way before, and they were fine. What went wrong with this one?

As you connect the ipod touch to the computer, go to the ipod touch options (in devices), uncheck the manually manage.

Download from itunes won't play

I downloaded a episode of the Office last night, and every time I try and open it up I have to validate my computer, and once the validation is completed successful, all I can see is a grey screen, but the bar across the bottom shows it as playing with time counting down. I even tried to open it with Quicktime and still got nothing. Turning off my anti-virus didn't help either.

I have the same problem. Setting up a new Macbook Air. When I try to download anything I get the error 45054. Tried repairing permissions, etc.

Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine". The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv. The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since. All my other downloaded films play. I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7. Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
- itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
- starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
