Why can't i find a tv show I purchased on iTunes?

I purchased Homeland Season 1 on iTunes in January.  Since then I have updated my Apple TV software (today) and now it no longer appears in my "Purchased" TV shows on the apple TV.  I can see the purchase history on my iTunes account on my Mac but cannot download any of the episodes and get an error message saying that i have not purchased them.  I have talked to 3 people at Applecare who could not really help me.  I rebooted the AppleTV as they suggested that did not work.  I contacted iTunes support via email who basically blew me off.  Any suggestions?
Here is their email:

Tyler, please note that the Apple TV associated with your account is a 2nd generation model. This model does not have an internal hard drive and therefore must stream content.

  • Why can't I find the menu bar when I open iTunes on my Windows 8 lap top

    I have downloaded some music in iTunes on my iPod Touch [version 8.1.2]. I noticed that the iTunes  also appears on my Windows 8 laptop and when I sign in the music I purchased appears but I cannot download it because the computer is, "not authorised". My account details show that 3 devices are connected to iTunes.  I checked  on Google how to authorize a computer and it says: choose store > authorize this computer  from the menu bar but I cannot find a menu bar. Can anyone please tell me what to do?

    Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • Why can't I find songs for sell in the brazilian iTunes store?

    I recently moved from Japan to Brazil. Today I was listening to a track that I liked on Vimeo, so I just went over to iTunes in order to buy the song, but to my surprise I could not find any song at all in the brazilian store. For instance, Power Search only lists Apps, Podcasts and iTunes U.

    Because Apple doesn't have permission to sell enough songs in Brazil to open an iTunes Music Store there.

  • Why can I not find my music after I brought on iTunes

    Dear all,
    I brought music from iTunes and I can not access it.
    Please let me know if you know more details about this.
    Many thanks,
    Andreea.

    Where on the new computer did you move it to. Look for it using explorer.
    Then import to iTunes by using the File > Add folder to  and select the itunes media folder.
    Then everything should go back into your library

  • WHAT is "Hibernate this Group" and why can't I find ANY information on this and HOW to get accidentally hibernated groups BACK???

    This is REALLY getting me frustrated! What is "Hibernate this Group"? Why can't I find any information on it? Why can't I get groups back that have been accidentally "hibernated"? There is a "moon" symbol on my upper right screen that says "Hibernate this Group" and I don't know what it does or how it works! AND I accidentally "hibernated" a group when I clicked on it too long and a bunch of "zzz's" showed up and then it was GONE! How do I get it all back? And why isn't there a tech center I can contact to help with this???

    This sounds like some third-party app or extension, because this functionality is not in Firefox by default. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] should remove it

  • Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

    Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
    It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
    I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
    Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
    But no trace of it anywhere….
    Thx for any reply.

    The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
    into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
    have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
    Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
    and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
    discarable by many.
    Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
    I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
    Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
    preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
    projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
    Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
    for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
    resultant derivatives. 
    The fact that I like to keep them is
    indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
    indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
    I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
    Another bad habitude.
    But
    since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
    issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
    ( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
    with this problem
    Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
    Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
    original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
    One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
    intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
    strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
    derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
    and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
    you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
    worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
    Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
    That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
    that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
    into your catalog.
    Since my catalog is made in the time
    from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
    subdirectory's...
    Easier
    for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
    I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
    and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
    I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
    thanks

Why can I not find the instruction strait from apple? This is the worst possible upgrade ever.  It make me think of when ericsson got sold to Sony....drastic PC change.
    I would like to have simple instruction on how to downgrade.
    It feel like a change that I did not ask for , ok I push the upgrade buttom, but really this is the worst update aver!

  • Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

    Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

    Thanks!
    I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
    And it worked!
    If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
    Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
    There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
    Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!
