Why can't I watch tv shows without wi-fi?

I've downloaded tv shows from iTunes but when I am not connected to wifi I can't watch these, it comes up with "unable to open file" however once I have watched a show with wifi and then not connected to wifi i can view it...seems when it's first downloaded and hasn't been watched the issue occurs..

Oh my goodness, it's taken me so long to discover how to reply to this!!! Sometimes the screen switchs so I see the tv show, sometimes I can hear the show but not see it.
Thank you for your help

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • On an iMac why can't you delete an email without opening it?

    Why can't I delete an email without opening it first? Is this not a security risk as I have always been advised that, if I don't know who the email is from, I should delete it so as to avoid opening any suspect attachments that open immediately.
    This is my first Mac so could it be that I have not realised how to do this?
    My wife can do this on her iPad.

    A couple of points:
    1. Your concern is not really an issue with macs. More of a PC thing. "Suspect attachments" are extremely, extremely rare for a mac. I mean, like one since 1984, when I bought my first mac. The reason is that Apple seems to be on top of things and keeps updating mac software to protect your mac from this sort of thing. Just keep up with the system updates and you won't have a problem. Microsoft, on the other hand, makes tons of security holes in their software because of their mindset, i.e., that the consumer is a moron and the enemy.
    2. In my mail.app, there are three columns in the message viewer, the first which lists the mailboxes, the second which lists the emails, and the third which is a preview window. I can select an email in the second column and delete it without opening it, so I don't see what the problem is that you're having.

    Why can't i export with OR without taking language into consideration ?
    I'm from Denmark  and I need it just to convert into TXT with OCR with out looking af the language.

    You can't do OCR without knowledge of the language, because a crucial part of OCR is spell checking to test the possible text  extraction. Well, you could try claiming the language is English, but the result may be unhappy.
