Watching television shows on iPad

i have a season purchase for a tv show, i can watch it fine on my mac book but when i try and watch on my iPad it only show the 30 second previews. i have downloaded the episodes, redownloaded them and its still just 30 second previews, its not a problem to watch on the macbook but want to be able to watch on the iPad later this month while on a 8 hour train ride. any ideas what i'm doing wrong. thanks in advance

They should be in the Videos app, the Purchased tab in the iTunes store will just show you the store preview. If they don't show in the Videos app then have you got any restrictions set in Settings > General > Restrictions > TV Programmes that is hiding them ?

  • ITunes won't delete watched TV shows from iPad--how to fix?

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I spent years watching TV shows on my iPhone(s), and iTunes always knew to delete the watched ones. I can't figure out or find a setting to make this work on my iPad.
    Have iTunes 10, latest iPad software, Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the iTunes window with your iPad connected, select TV Shows from the menu.
    Try resetting the pop up menus.
    And under the Summary tab, if you have: *Manually manage music and windows* selected, deselect that box.
    See if that makes a difference.

    I have purchased tv shows and waited for what seemed like hours for download but cannot seem to find out how to watch them.  I keep being prompted to download again and again??

    If you keep being prompted to download again and again, this sounds like the shows were not downloaded.
    Movies and TV Shows (after being downloaded) are available in the Videos app.

  • I am having trouble watching Movies and TV shows on iPad

    I have a 16 GB iPad and I am having trouble watching TV shows I have purchased and movies on my iPad. I have deleted every app I can and deleted all my pictures , music , books etc. etc. and I am left with only the iPad apps I cannot delete and I STILL cannot watch the shows that are down loaded in "the cloud" !  Why can't I watch them "in the cloud" where there is tons of memory if I don't have enough memory on iPad? Also, what is the point of 16 GB on iPad if most of it is used for basics and not enough left for me to use ? Please help me as this is frustrating !!! Thanks.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    Demo the same thing happened to me.  I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi.  Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?

    You downloaded on your computer?  Open itunes, connect ipad, select what you want, sync.
    Youi downloaded on your ipad? Open videos app, select the video, watch the video
    You should probably read the manual.

  • When I purchase a show from ATV how can I watch it on my iPad?

    Whenever you purchase a show it says this programme can only be watched on Apple TV, iPhone or iPad. So how do I watch it on the iPad? The films or shows don't appear in my iTunes library. Where are they? Can I put them on my iPad and then go traveling?

    In your videos app, go to the store and then the purchased section, you should see all your purchases listed there.

    Make sure DNS is set to ISPs (settings - general - network - DNS should be set to automatic). Trey rebooting ATV, and router. Make sure all are up to date.

  • Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show can't load

    Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show like anime etc it's say need flash player

    Flash is not supported on the iPad or iPhone - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • When watching shows from my itunes with apple tv I can watch one show, but as soon as I try and watch a second it won't load.

    I just got my first apple tv.  It streams netflix beautifully and connected to my network and computer quickly.  Currently the bulk of my itunes library is on a PC, so I am attempting to stream from that.  I can watch a show or an episode of a tv show just fine, but when I try and watch the second I get the spinning wheel and nothing loads.  If I reset my apple tv and then turn home sharing off and on again I can watch another episode.  I disabled my firewall and my anti virus on my desktop to see if that was the problem, still I am watching one episode at a time.  HELP!

  • How can I delete the list of watched videos on my iPad?

    I have been watching videos on my ipad through the iTunes "home sharing" feature. It seems to work fine.
    My problem is that I can't figure out how to delete the list (on the iPad) of videos that have been watched. Not only have I watched them but I have also deleted them from my iTunes movies list. I have tried syncing, signing out and back in to the iTunes store, turning off home sharing and then turning it back on again (which requires signing back in), all the while quitting out of the videos app and /or restarting the iPad before and after each of these steps.
    The videos are shown as greyed-out icon/thumbnails in the iPad videos app. I am able to add new videos to iTunes, see them as not-greyed-out icons in the iPad app, and watch them. I just can't delete the shown list of the watched videos list on the iPad, which in the case of TV shows collect quite quickly and require lots of scrolling to get to the unwatched video icons.
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I delete just one season of a tv show on iPad 2 running iOS 7?

    Hi, since upgrading to iOS 7, I've been having two problems with the video app. The first, and more minor problem is that if I tab out of the video app while watching a show, and then tab back in, it doesn't open to the show I was watching, but rather to the 'home page' of the video app, so that I need to navigate back to the episode I'm watching.
    The second, much more annoying issue, is that a can no longer seem to delete just one season of a tv show. If I go to the TV section of the video app, I can press the 'Edit' button and remove an entire tv show (all the seasons on my iPad). I can also go into a season and delete episodes individually by swiping left to right (though this seems to make my app crash back to the home screen - a third issue!). However, on the show's page in the video app (where all the downloaded seasons are listed) I can't find a way to delete just the one season. There is no 'Edit' button that I can see on the page, and swiping left to right does nothing.
    Any help on this (these) issue(s) would be much appreciated!

    Ok this is even harder than I first realised! If multiple seasons of one show are downloaded to the iPad and I click on the 'edit' button, the show with multiple seasons can't be deleted at all. No cross appears in the top left corner of the show's icon.

  • My purchased television shows are not in my itunes library

    Hello,
          I hope someone can assist me with my dilemma. I searched these listings for my issue and the only similar response was about checking preferences and settings and television shows is checked.
         I purchased 2 seasons of a cartoon for my kids and the 1st season is listed in my Itunes library under television shows but the 2nd season (downloaded after the first) only appears under "purchased from Ipad" and not television shows. One of the issues is that I cannot access through media sharing and apple tv this 2nd season and I am trying to find out how to get these Itunes purchased shows into my itunes library. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Did you sync them to your iphone?

  • My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver.  Everything works fine when watching movies.  When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.
