Why can't i watch tv shows on my laptop?

I purchased a season pass of The River recently to watch on my HP Pavilion dm1z. When I purchased the pass, I chose to download the SD version of the first episode (I thought), and paused all the rest (because my internet connection is sloooow). When it was downloaded, iTunes crashed, and when I restarted it, the program I downloaded was gone, as were all SD options of the available The River downloads. So, I downloaded the HD version of the pilot of The River, but it won't run on my computer. After about a second or two of normal play, the sounds cuts out, and the video begins to stutterstep to freezing.
I have downloaded SD versions of movies with no problems in the past. Is there I way I can choose to dowload just the SD versions of the episodes, or, is there something I can do to make the HD version work in my puter?

Hulu.com uses Adobe Flash. There is no version of Adobe Flash for the iPad. However, if you sighn up for Hulu Plus, you can use the Hulu app on your iPad. There is a monthly fee.

    I downloaded a series and only 4 episodes will show why can't I watch the others even though I purchased the entire series.  It won't let me watch and every time is select the little cloud it tells me that it is downloading but nothing happens.  I have tried to sync it on my PC but I could only get the first couple of episodes.

  • 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 !

    You are using the app from the store, correct?  Read the description in the store, the app only works with certain providers, which are listed in the description.    As always, it's all about money and license agreements.

  • HT204370 I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    At the moment it's not possible to copy films rented on an iPad to another device - from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why Apple have decided to do that I don't know, but you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends to me from her iPad   I am very new on my ipad2

    Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends me from her iPad?  I am very new on my ipad2.  I have no idea what my operating system is.

         Under the iPad specifications they support the following video types:
    iPad: Technical Specifications
    AirPlay Mirroring to Apple TV support at 720p
    Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p with Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)
    Video out support at 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable (cables sold separately)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
         The iPad and iPad 2 support the same video types. You cannot open a .mov file via e-mail to the best of my knowledge (on iPad). Only YouTube videos and app specific videos* can be opened via e-mail on the iPad.
    * Such as PBS News Hour, TED, etc.
         If both of you use a social network such as Facebook she could upload the videos and can post them on your wall.

  • Why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro

    HELP  why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro ?  I have the latest version of  flash player to no avail ?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.
