Why can't I download TV episodes in Germany?

Hi
I would really like to know why Apple won't/can't offer downloads for Videos in Germany.
It's very very frustrating to find your favorite show, only to see a certain iTunes Message which goes like 'The content you are requesting is not available in the German Music Store. Please Click OK to go to the American Music Store'.
Upon doing so you get the complete listing of your favorite show and eager to pick the ones you'd love to watch you are being cut off at payment time with the message 'The Account you are using can only buy content in the German Music Store ... bla bla'. It's frustrating. At least cut us off right from the beginning, lol!
Anyway, I really wouldn't mind paying for my favorite show which is even better (IMHO) with the original spoken language intact but if the license holders don't want my money I guess I have to relate to other sources.
Thanks for reading my post.

Andre, when you said "if the license holder don't want my money", you said the key words. Apple doesn't control what can be distributed in each country's store the copyright holders in your country for that content do. Until they negotiate a contract with Apple for distribution rights, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Sorry!

  • HT201272 Why can I only download 7 episodes of the killing series 2 when I have already paid for whole series ?   It just stops at episode 7 with no more to download .... Thanks !!

    Why can I only get the first 7 episodes of the killing series 2 ... I cannot find any more to download on iTunes ???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure they are available yet. You may have bought a season pass, which means they will download once they are available.

  • Why can't I download season episodes that are previous seasons?

    I purchased a season pass for Warehouse 13 Season 2 in SD, but none of the episodes are downloading. I see that other people have had the same issue with season passes, but all of them are talking about current seasons. Is there a reason why it won't download old seasons?

  • Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Thanks for that.
    It seems odd that you can log onto TVNZ TV on demand and watch programmes directly on your computer and yet they won't let them be channelled through the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV would be more use if it could access TVNZ [ say ] and play the episodes from there instead of having to go through iTunes.
    I am a bit cross that Apple market the Apple TV with what it can do in US and yet it wasn't made clear that in New Zealand it is a virtually useless piece of kit.
    I have been buying Apple products since 1985 and this is the first time I have been dissatisfied.
    Having said that it may not be the fault of the product !! Just the country in which I am trying to use it.
    That is another oddity in that New Zealand prides itself in being a World Leader in EFTPOS and internet banking and yet is so abysmal at entertainment sharing !
    A very compliant nation where having fun is frowned upon !

  • Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
    More information gives Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For Example, ERROR:
    - 0 fatal error)s), 0 error(s)
    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • Why can't I download entire albums from my purchase history is iTunes on my iPAD?

It seems like a major design floor from apple and as I have searched the Internet for solutions it seems I may be the only one!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!! THANKS JJ

    If you have Not On This iPad selected at the top middle of the Purchased tab in the iTunes app, then tap on All Songs at the top left of the screen and then tap on 'Songs By Most Recent' at the top right and change it to 'Albums By Name' - does the album that you want to download then appear as an album on the right-hand side of the screen ? If it does then tap on it and will hopefully download the whole album.

    Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

  • Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

    Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?  I get an error message.  I click the download:  "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred.  This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."   If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him!  Thanks, Pete

    Hey PetaPete,
    There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
    Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
    So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    Note:
    1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
    2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.

  • Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

    Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
    SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order,  but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
    Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
    Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
    I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
    I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
    I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
    Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
    I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.

  • Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

    I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
    Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
    So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
    So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.
