TV show subscription downloads marked as watched

I have a season pass for a TV show and iTunes downloads new episodes automatically. Those new episodes used to be stored locally as "unwatched". Lately, they are marked as "watched". I have to go into the watched list and manually change them to unwatched, so that they show up on my AppleTVs as unwatched. Is there a way to fix this so that new downloads are initially marked unwatched? Thanks.

hello fidelio,
this is an issue which was introduced with itunes 11 !
it is unbelievable, but if u search here a little, u will find that there are already a few threads open on this subject.
i personally downgraded again to 10.7 cause it was unacceptable for me. i can only suggest that you report the issue
with the feedback function within itunes ! please do so...the more people complain abt it, the more attention this issue will get.
i personally believe that this is a cloud issue.....lets hope it will be solved soon.

I downloaded a series and only 4 episodes will show why can't I watch the others even though I purchased the entire series

I downloaded a series and only 4 episodes will show why can't I watch the others even though I purchased the entire series. It won't let me watch and every time is select the little cloud it tells me that it is downloading but nothing happens. I have tried to sync it on my PC but I could only get the first couple of episodes.

Hi Kousies!
It sounds like you may need to report this issue with your purchases:

9.1.0.79 - Podcast - Mark as watched gone

What happened to "select all" -> right click -> "mark as watched". I predominately use iTunes to download Podcasts. I have about 80 subscriptions or so. I transfer them to my iPhone, and now iPad, manually. They do not get recognized as "played" in iTunes once transfered, and I rarely listen to all of them from one day to the next but need to know what the new ones are. Without the select all "mark as played" feature I have to manually select each fricken podcast and say "mark as played". What a waste of time!!
Hopefully this is just an oversight. Please fix this ASAP

Good to hear its not just me. I think I found a work around. Open the top podcast so you can see the individual podcasts - do a "select all" (all podcast not the just the top one). Now deselect the top podcast title but make sure all the others are still selected. Right click on the top actual podcast (not the subscription title). You should now see the "mark as (un)watched" or "mark as (un)played" depending on if you have a video or audio podcast on the top of the list.
Yeah...now they just need to make the rest of iTunes now suck so much.

IPhoto show a exclamation mark instead of the picture

Hi all folks,
iPhoto 8.1.2 (iLife '09) show an exclamation mark only, instead of the picture. The thumbnail overview shows the picture and in the edit mode I got the picture too. All the time I open the picture with Preview, I got the picture, but iPhoto can't. In general I have no problems with iPhoto, all pictures are shown.
My question, does someone know where the exclamtion mark (a black exclamation mark in a white circle) came from.
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Home Sharing Videos Mark As Watched

Greetings! I recently purchased an iPhone 4S and an enjoying the Home Sharing features, but I have noticed some issues noted in other discussions, namely the dropped connection with the AppleTV 2. I have also noticed issue with the Home Sharing dropping on my 4S, especially in the middle of the night as I play music through my Home Share on my iDevice.
I wanted to direct this discussion to something I think is related but admittedly may just be more of an annoyance to me. I can bring up my Movies and TV Shows on my 4S through Home Sharing just fine, and can watch both without issue. I have noticed that if I start watching a show over my ATV2 and stop it halfway, I can later find it marked as such on my 4S with the blue half moon dot. However, if I complete the program on my 4S, the dot for the show or movie doesn't clear like it does in iTunes, but rather resets as if I've never watched it. I've tinkered with the iTunes settings, using other discussions as guides; I can get the play counts to register when I play something over my 4S, but can't get the dot to clear to Mark As Watched.
Again, this may just be an annoyance limited to me, and I admit I'm rather meticulous about how I maintain my iTunes library. I like to see shows and movies I've watched marked as such. I'm also looking at purchasing an iPad in the near future; curious if any iPad users notice the same issue. I suspect it may be related (in a minor way) to the other Home Sharing issues that have arisen from the latest updates. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm still experiencing this problem without a resolution and would really appreciate some help.
Many thanks.

Mark ask Watched not working

Since the Airplay update yesterday my Apple TV Gen 2 no longer marks shows as watched. In fact, if I manually mark as watched within a few minutes they are all shown as unwatched again.
Yes, I've rebooted the Apple TV and my Mac.
This is highly annoying!

Weird. I had that problem before and it's been fixed since the update.
Have you tried restoring the ATV?

The t.v. show I'm trying to watch won't load. It doesn't make any sense because I can watch everything else.

The T.V. show I'm trying to watch on my MACBOOK AIR won't load. I got it from the iTunes store last night. I'm not complaining that it's slow.It pauses halfway through when I try to watch it. And yet everything else has loaded. HELP!
p.s. every thing before that episode is nice and black. So are the first 11 episodes. Everything after that is grayed out but I could still watch it. But why?

If your apps are up-to-date then there is nothing to download to update...the app store is telling you there is nothing for you to download.
Why do you want to update all of your apps?

Can I mark as watched from iPod?

I have various podcasts that automatically download into iTunes and sync to my iPod.
Sometimes part-way through watching I would like to skip it if it is not interesting. But this ends up as half-watched from iTunes perspective and the podcast is not removed from my iPod.
Of course from the iTunes interface I can "mark as watched".
Can I do the same from the iPod itself?
Thanks!

All you have to do is FF til the end. On my iPod I tap the main central button once. The volume bar turns into the FF/RW bar. Then wheel all the way to the end, make sure I let it finished and it will be marked as plaied (e.g., "Plays": 1)

Hi Forum, can u please help? iRecently bought a mac pro & my garageband 11 was working fine but now it's showing a question mark in the dock but it won't open. I think it may have been accidentally trashed. I've searched the trash & spotlighted. What now?

How did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

How do I re-enable showing the download files history in the download manager window?

System: Windows XP
I am trying to re-enable showing/retaining the list of downloaded files in the download manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from that window into a folder of my choosing. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I messed that up...)
I have tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including setting Firefox to remember all history in the Privacy tab of Options.
I also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to "reset" the browser defaults, but to no avail.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks.

By the way, a few other things you probably know:
(1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
(2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any improvement?

My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
I went to Music, then Artists.
From there I chose the album.
The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
(Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
