View purchased TV shows in iTunes stored on cloud

Is it possible to view purchased TV shows on my Mac in iTunes from the cloud without having to download them to my Mac?

No, i Cloud allows you to download, it does not allow viewing of video without downloading first.

How do i view purchased TV shows in Itunes on my IPad?

I've downloaded several seasons but when I select an episode to watch in my "purchased" tab it only gives me the option to preview the episode? I've confirmed that the full episodes have been downloaded. Now what?

iTunes on the iPad is a link to the store only.
It is used to buy media.
To listen to music or audio(podcasts, audiobooks) go to the music app.
For movies, tv shows or music videos you use the videos app.

Hi Miriam1972,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use iTunes on your laptop to download the tv shows for viewing. See this article for the steps to download the shows:

I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry. Why don't the shows download? What can I do?

Hello there Julfos,
I recommend this part of the article named iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725.
If you cannot complete the download on your device, you can finish the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync it to your device. For instructions, see the following articles:
iTunes Store: Where can I download and sync my purchases?
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Additional Information
If your purchase does not resume downloading after following the steps in this article, you can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
Restart your computer or device.
Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend quitting all the apps running with this article, and trying again.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Perhaps even forgetting your home network and rejoining it.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Or resetting your network settings.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

The article from which you came has instructions on how to view your purchase history. Where in those instructions are you encountering difficulty?

I I can no longer access my purchased TV shows that are in the Cloud

After installing ITunes 11.1, I can no longer access my purchased TV shows that are in the Cloud. I have opened Preferences, went to store to see if the box is checked for displaying items that are in the cloud and this is in order. Still can't access these shows.
<Re-Titled By Host>

I experienced the same issue. I am familiar with it from previous versions of iTunes and located the correct "Show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" checkbox on your screen capture. Wasn't on mine. I decided to reinstall iTunes 11.0.1 and, as you can see from my screen grab, it is there now. Problem solved.

Movies Purchased not showing in Itunes.

I recently built two computers one running Windows 7 Professional and one running Windows 8 Professional. On both machines I have had similar issues. I am running iTunes 11.0.4.4. Upon the initial installation and running of iTunes I have all of my cloud purchases showing, Music and Movies, along with Match working with my music library. After a day or so I started getting issues where I was having to accept the license agreement upon opening iTunes and sign into my account and reactivate Match each time I opened the software, I was able to apparently fix this using discussions previously on these forums (thanks b noir). The problem that remains is that while the cloud symbol appears on both the Music and Movies tabs, none of the Movies that I have purchased and are in the cloud are showing, only the ones I have downloaded.
I have tried all the ususal recommendations of ensuring that in the prefs>store> tab I have Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases check box checked. Additionally, I have the Show movies in the Cloud option selected from the View menu when in the Movies tab of iTunes. If you have any ideas on troubleshooting tips please let me know.
Sincerely,
John

Try making sure your movies are not hidden . I had the same issue but when i un hid them they all came back

ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
icloudServices.exe entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.

Iphone 4S iTunes music purchase not showing in iTunes on Mac

I purchased a song on my iPhone 4S using the same iTunes account that I use on my MacPro running Lion and the latest version of iTunes.
The purchased song shows up on my Mac iTunes under "purchased", but it does not show up in Music when I search for the song.
I did confirm that the song did download to my Mac from the iTunes store automatically. I am an iCloud subscriber and all of my devices have been synched with iCloud.
Why doesn't it show up in my regular music catalog on my Mac? Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Bud

Hello Pearljamluvr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you have transferred your iTunes library to a new computer, and are wondering how to get that content imported into iTunes. To accomplish this, please see the information and the article outlined below.
Part 4 (optional): Add back new content
Copy the iTunes Media folder you created in Part 2 into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder inside the iTunes Media folder you copied in Part 3. iTunes will automatically import the content.

HT4743 Problem viewing "purchased" TV show

I purchased Mad Men Season 6 several days ago and have watched several episodes. Today, however, it does not show up in my "Purchased" TV shows. Why? How do I fix it?

Hello BobBobMcCarty,
I was thinking that the purchase might be hidden.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
Or perhaps the Apple TV is not signed in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Sign in to the iTunes Store
From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.
From: How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1498
If you check in the settings and you are signed into the iTunes Store on the Apple TV with the correct Apple ID, and you have also verified that the purchase is not hidden, then I would recommend contacting the iTunes Store support directly with this article: How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933.

HT4743 Why can't I view purchased TV shows on my iPad?

I purchased two seasons of one TV show using iTunes on my iPad, but the two seasons only appear on my Apple TV. I like watching on my 60" plasma HD TV, but it's a bear to carry with me, so I would love to watch on my Macbook Pro. Trouble is, the two seasons aren't available.

I had same problem with brand new ipad whose OS I updated immediately upon purchase. Apple support gave me this fix (accidentally, in the manner of kicking the bushes to see if a bunny rabbit runs out)
instead of going to "purchased" go to TV shows in the store as if you were going to buy a new one
select the show or shows you have already bought
this presents you a list of shows available for download, which you can select.
Download begins, presto.
his explanation was they've been doing a lot of updates lately and they shut certain functions down while that is happening.

Can't play purchased TV Shows on ITUNES

I recently purchased some episodes of TV Shows on ITUNES. However, I cannot play them on ITUNES. They start to play for about 5 seconds then ITUNES crashes.
I receive the message "ITUNES has encountered a problem and needs to close..." So far no problem playing them on my IPOD, just can't watch them on ITUNES. Also discovered that I can't watch a preview of a TV show or movie either on ITUNES. It results in the same problem described above, (i.e.ITUNES crashes). Anyone know why this is happening and how to correct?

I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

I can't download purchased tv shows in itunes

I have purchased tv shows that are in icloud. On my iMac when in iTunes the cloud is greyed out. I can't download it. In iTunes I see the same thing, its there and available for download but i can't do anything with it. I've signed out and back in. What else to try?

Restart the iPad. Hold down sleep and home buttons until Apple logo appears and try to open Videos App again.
