What is a iTunes season pass?

If I buy a season pass does it mean that I get the episodes or just rental. If it's rental I don't want it. I really want to have them. TIA

So I don't get episodes that r already existing or do I also get already existing episodes and new ones. (I wanna buy ant farm)

ITunes Season Passes automatic downloads no longer supported

I have been informed by Apple Customer Care (case: 267781180) that automatic downloads (including using the 'check for available downloads' menu option) are no longer supported for season passes on the iTunes store. This means you have to manually go to the store and select 'download' for any new episodes of TV shows that you have purchased. We'll still receive the email alert that a new episode is available but we'll have to manually download them. I subscribe to a lot of TV content from the Apple store so this will be a large inconvenience (for example if I am away from home then no new shows will be downloaded for the rest of the family to watch). This is huge backward step. Why?

Help! Nobody? Please help I left and came back and no replies? HELP

HT4539 iTunes Seasons Passes for TV episodes do not download automatically (per Apple Support). Anyone have a workaround? Automator?

When researching a problem such that my Seasons Passes new episodes did not appear as new downloadable content ("You have downloaded all the content for this Apple ID"), Apple Support tells me that Seasons Pass content are no longer considered applicable to "check for available downloads".
Has anyone created a workaround?

Actually, they are put in your downloads. But this is only for new passes going forward. And you have to chose the (Download All) options as well during your purchase.
For current passes before this change, you can do your work-around here:

ITunes Season Pass - trouble downloading episode?

I received an email notification that a new episode is ready for my Season Pass. I can usually download the episode no problem, by clicking on the link in the email. But this one keeps saying "Unable to process your request. Try again later". I have been trying for 2 days, and still no luck. My internet connection is perfect. Anyone had this happen to them?

I have the same issue. Its frustrating that to download an episode, I need to jump through hoops, (1) Look up which episode os the latest (2) Go to the store home and find the episode by name. It used to dowload with one click straight from the e-mail.
I called Apple support, only to speak to a moron who didn't understand the problem at all.
This is by no means the first time that Apple made features stop working with no warning.
I've been using iTunes as my primary entertainment resource, typically purchasing a season pass for all the shows I follow. maybe its time to give Amazon a try.

ITunes Seasons Pass Info (NFL) Not Appearing

Hello. This may be the wrong forum but thought I'd give it a try. I've signed up for the NFL Team Season Pass. I've been able to download the first five of five week games. But the sixth week game is not available for download. Worse, when I go to the "TV SHOW" in iTunes the sixth week is missing.
More interesting is that when I go to my team's opponent, the sixth week game 'who we played' is there. Hmmmm.
Specifically, I've bought the season pass for the Steelers and I'm missing week six however if I look at the Chiefs week six is there. Though I could 'buy' week six from the Chiefs' area on iTunes I don't want to spend the money twice having already paid for the season pass on the 'Steelers side'.

Appreciate your response, Aresenal.
For the record, I've emailed
* the NFL Network
* the Steelers Fan Pass from steelers.com
* Apple's product feedback for iTunes
I've not heard back from anyone. Perhaps I should "bang the boards" on MSR (my sports radio) to Lance and let the steelers fan base also echo their concerns.

What does the KZSF Season Pass include? (as of July 25, 2015)

I was thinking about buying the Killzone Shadowfall Season Pass (as of July 25, 2015). What content DOES it actually include? What content ISN'T included in the Season Pass?
Reason I'm asking is because based on the store description, it's very vague. I'm not sure whether to buy the Season Pass or the Insurgent Pack.

I would just get the insurgent DLC, the season pass also gives you voices, skins for bots, spolight moves etc but you can buy this in game with valor now that you can win in game (you don't pay for it). I think you can but the insurgent DLC with valor as well but it is random what you get when you buy a box with valor so it might take you a while to get all the guns, abilities etc.

ITunes season passes block account management

I have a MobileMe account as main mail and iTunes account. I will be moving from the US to Germany and desperately want to keep this account as my main account. Since I have purchased a season TV pass for Samantha Who? Season 2, which was delayed for months by ABC for unknown reasons, the season eventually ended last week. However, the show pass will not disappear from my account. This hinders me to change my account region from US to Germany.
I have sent several inquries about this to Apple Customer Support, but in some way they do not want to understand my problem. I even begged them to cancel the pass and keep the money, but they don't get the point. Why is there no option to quit a pass if one doesn't want anylonger be bound to it? I should be able to decide whether I want to stay in a program or not once I have paid for it in full.

Where is your iTune season pass?

here
http://www.macworld.com/article/132114/2008/02/seasonpass.html

I had a problem that support were pretty unhelpful with a few weeks ago.
I bought 2 episodes of a 4 part show on Appletv, planning to complete my season in iTunes Later.
Individual episodes were 1.89 and the series 4.99.
Id assumed I'd get the rest for 1.21 but no.
It seems that if the outstanding amount is less than a single episode it won't work so beware with short seasons!

ITunes TV Show Season Pass Issues - How is it working for you?

I love iTunes Season passes. I love letting a show accumulate without worrying about storms, sports messing up recording times, power outages, storage of my DVR, etc... The shows are always going to be there to watch. However for well over a year ago Apple removed the new TV Show episodes from coming via the Check Available Downloads option. Since then we have had a plethera of options presented to us. However I continue to have mixed results. I have tried using my Apple Care to get support. But since its more like a cloud or iTunes issue, they send me to the web which is nothing but email support. Email support suggests these 4 methods. 3 out of the 4 rarely work for me in a reliable or timely way. I am looking for those who have the same issues/challenges and understand if you have found a better way or even a root cause why I am getting these results.
First method is using the email notifications you can turn on when you manage your season pases via iTunes Account inside the iTunes application. You click the email link, it launches Safari, Safari launches iTunes, in a few seconds you get a "Cancel" or "Download" pop up in iTunes. You click download and it will download the show. You must repeat this for each email notification/show... daily. It can be hap hazard as the notifications sometimes come at 2am and others throughout the next day.
Second method is going to iTunes store in iTunes, click on TV Shows, Click on Purchased... and there you can select "not on this computer" to see what episodes are new and not downloaded yet. This is actually fairly straight forward and easier than the email links. However I am having an issue where even though I have the notification, the show does not show up in my purchases. If I switch over to "shows" vs "seasons" I see the episodes from all my email notifications. But generally only the behind the scense have the icloud download icon. (see attached screen shot) The work around is to go to the TV show page itself for that season, scroll and use the download button there for each new epiosde you have not downloaded. This is probably now less optimal than the email.
Third method is to enable "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" via iTunes Preferences. I dread it evertime its suggested I try this. When I enable this option, all shows and movies marked as "unwatched" get marked as "watched." Right now, I have a large number of episodes unwatched right now. So it would be ALOT to clean up to try it again. When I have used this, its by far the easiest to use (besides the former retired "check for available downloads" option. You just go to your TV Shows in your library, unwatched tab, and just click the download icons. You dont even have to leave your library. However there seems to be a bug. I suspect it has something to do with my machine sleeping and the internet connection dropping and not re-establishing before iTunes is trying to reconnect. The end result is the iTunes in the cloud preference disappears or gets completely reset.... and it totally messes with your unwatched and watched shows. I have showed it to an Apple Care rep as they were connected to my machine. They couldnt believe it. So I would REALLY love to know if anyone has tried this method recently and NOT had these issues. Its a good hour of work if it does not work cleaning up the after math. So feedback would be welcome.
Fourth option is instead of downloading, stream it. This is not my preferred method because I sometimes will rewatch an episode multipe times due to distractions from work, shool, or re-watching it later with a friend to catch them up. Once I have it downloaded, the critial path is limited to my home network. However I never really have issues with long buffering and streaming because I have a 50mps up/downlink internet. The issue I am running into this method is sometimes the newest episode is not showing up in AppleTV > TV Shows > Purchases > Recent for that TV Show and Season. It will eventually make it there... but I am not sure what the secret sauce is for it to become available.
I am doing my best to keep this to a civil request for feedback from fellow users and fans of the TV Show Season Passes. I would even welcome an Apple response. I am currently trying to get iTunes support to look into these again. But I keep getting looped into one of the four options with each email exchange.... even though I have already explain, provided screen shots, etc... Its sort of exhausting when you are stuck with email as your only path to explain and help. Especially when you spent the money on Apple Care. Perhaps I need to just make an apppointment at my Apple store so I can SHOW them what happens. But that is a pain to lug in a 27" iMac and a 6TB thunderbolt drive. FEEDBACK welcome!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem on Windows and Mac, neither automatically download episodes from any of my season passes, nor do they find it when I select "Check for available downloads," it informs me all episodes have been downloaded for my Apple ID, which in fact they have not.
I have to find the episode in my Library(which shows all available episodes on my computer and in the iTunes Store) and from there I have to manually click to download. I tried deauthorizing all my computers and reauthorizing just one computer, and that didn't work either. I also deleted my other device(iPad) from the "iTunes in the Cloud" just in case there was some issue associated with that, and that didn't work either.
It’s sad that the iTunes rep didn't really "listen" to what you said. I find this happens at many other companies too. They often are trying to fit your problem into some prepared script or solution, or they are distracted or in a hurry and don't actually read or listen fully to an even well defined account of the problem.
Best of luck to us all! Hope they fixed it soon.

Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.1 and can't get new season pass episodes

After downloading and installing iTunes 10.2.1, I have stopped receiving emails for season passes. More frustrating is that even though I see that the most recent episodes are available in the iTunes store, iTunes is telling me that all purchases have been downloaded for this account. I checked my account settings and it still shows that I have season passes and that they are still active. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. It tells me that I cannot download them but that they will be available later. But they should have all come on Friday/Saturday. Definitely a big bug with this as I have 4 season passes. What gives Apple????

ITunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes

Problem: iTunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes even though new content is fully available on iTunes Store for purchase as single episodes
I purchased Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday 10/11. The 1st episode, called "Growing Pains," aired on the evening of Thursday 10/11 and has been available since approx. 2 am EST Friday 10/12 for purchase/download on the iTunes Store, but it is NOT automatically downloading to my iTunes account even though I repeatedly click "Check for Available Downloads." The button to purchase the single episode in the iTunes Store is activated, meaning anyone can purchase that individual episode for $2.99, but I paid for the whole Season Pass and I can't retrieve this single episode.
My iTunes is NOT recognizing that there is an Episode 1 available for download. I rebooted my Mac, restarted iTunes, logged into the iTunes store to click on "Purchased" content and try to force a download, all to no avail -- the screen listing the episodes available for download under my Purchased account fails to list Episode 1 of this TV show. It as though this Episode is invisible to my iTunes account/download queue. Yet, Episode 1 is sitting on the iTunes Store server and has been there for the past day.
I have clearly identified this problem to Apple Customer Service and they did not seem to intially understand my problem. They told me that it takes a few days for TV networks to make an episode available to the iTunes store, and therefore I should wait for a few days -- this totally misses the issue! The premiere episode has already been provided by the TV network to iTunes, and is available now on the iTunes Store. The problem is a technological server-side one, where for some reason my iTunes download queue is not picking up on the fact that there is new, pre-paid content available for download.
Please help if you experienced similar issues with your Season Pass. I bought a Season Pass for last year and it worked without any problems -- all episodes aired on Thursday nights and were downloaded by 2 or 3 am Friday morning. I am thinking of cancelling/refunding the Season Pass, and just paying for Hulu+ instead of waiting around hoping for Customer Service to finally read my email and DO something instead of telling me to "wait a few days."
Below is my email thread with Customer Service. I can't believe there is no longer phone support to talk to a live person, who should be able to reset my download queue -- or do something on the server-side -- easily.

Hello [     ], I apologized for any inconvenience this issue has caused. I reviewed your account and it appears that episode is not yet posted on your account.

Thanks. The problem is, this Episode "Growing Pains" IS already available
on iTunes for individual purchase for $2.99, and has been available since 2
am EST last night. The issue isn't its availability from the TV network --
it's the Season Pass queue for downloads not recognizing that this episode
should be downloaded.

Why is no season pass available for Big Bang Theory Season 6 in the Australian iTunes Store?

Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory is now showing in the Australian iTunes Store. So far only one episode is available.
Where the "Buy Season Pass" button usually is, it instead says, "Partial Season". I can't see any option to buy a season pass.
Why is this? What does "partial season" mean? If I buy the one episode available, will I later get the option to "Complete" my season? Will the full season eventually be available?
Thanks anyone for any light you can shed on this.

You would have to ask whomever holds the U.K. distribution rights to the show.
