Why is my automatic download for season passes not working?

I'vr been using iTunes forever, but all of a sudden my season passes are not automatically downloading when I click 'check available downloads' and instead I have to go to each show and click download next to the episode. Whats up with that?

This is what Apple Support said:
This is correct, they will no longer download automatically. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please use these steps:
Open iTunes on your computer
Sign into your account
Under "Quick Links" menu (right hand side)
Choose "Purchased"
Choose TV Shows
Locate your show and download the items you are missing.
My questions: Who is making up these changes at Apple iTunes?  Why is the goal now to make customer lives harder?

  • If you selected "no" for automatic downloads for season passes can you change that?

    Thats what I was wonderinmg and it would really help if it would.

    Yeah. Open iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Store. Check "Automatically download pre-orders when available."

  • Why isn't the download for Windows 32bit not working/showing up on the download page???

    I've tried multiple browsers?

    They are not showing up at all in my library. They only show up under the "on this iPhone" section when the old phone is plugged into iTunes. I have tried syncing again and still no solution. The music that is missing is all from CDs that I previously imported into iTunes.
    Thank you for your reply.

  • Season pass not working for Game of Thrones Season 4

    I purchased the season pass for season 4 of Game of Thrones, but all I am getting is the behind the scenes videos but no episodes.  This is the only show for which I am having this trouble. I have tried using both the MacBook Pro and the Apple TV devices with no joy. Is there an issue with this program or are the episodes simply not yet released?

    Not sure which country you are in but I purchased the Season some months ago in the UK and have viewed all episodes.
    If you are outside the US it is possible episodes are not available yet - contact iTunes Store support to check - available episodes however would normally list in iTunes:

  • Season Pass Not Working

    I have been trying all day to download the latest episode of Bones to which I bought a multi-pass, can't get it through the 'Check for Purchases', can't get by clicking on the 'Click Here' in either the email or on the show page on iTunes. I am running the latest version of everything.... I have had about 5 emails to the support staff in the past week over this kind of thing (disappearing music, friends who can't download gifts, etc) and wonder if it's the new version, the expansion into movies... what the heck? I fondly recall the good old days when shows did indeed appear the day after they aired, it was easy to download... but now... oy!
    Anyway... any other ideas? I know the kids at Apple are swamped, thought I might have missed something!

    Thanks for the heads-up, guys. I'm glad I thought to check the forums on this one. Although I'm sorry to hear that the "Season Pass" idea is sucking hard core, at least you folks saved me from buying one for NBC's "Heroes". I've already d/l'd the first few ep's, and I was curious about the seemingly non-incremental sticker price.
    As an addition to your woes already voiced, apparently iTunes 7, for all it's slickness, doesn't behave as expected when you already own ep's included in a "Season Pass" offering. One would expect that the iTunes Store would knock off the price of the ep's you've already d/l'd, but no such luck.
    I would have thought that a fairly obvious application error. Since iTunes is already tracking your library and purchasing habits...
    BTW, the "Season Pass" help page is back... But it's not very helpful... Isn't there any good online or real-people support for iTunes and the store?

  • Season Pass not working (Cedar Cove Season 2 HD)

    Does anyone know how to reach a real person at Apple? I have reported a problem with my season pass and sent an email to iTunes support and all I have gotten back were basically Google searches and an apology. I bought a season pass to Cedar Cove season 2 in HD before the show started. Hallmark has posted the first episode both in HD and SD (I checked on a friends account) but I didn't receive a notification to download the episode. When I look in purchases I see the season pass but it only shows the featurette is in my account yet, no episodes. Strangely iTunes shows a different price for SD and HD season passes but the first episode is only $1.99 for either SD or HD. All of my other shows are $2.99 for HD and $1.99 for SD. Which makes me think Hallmark made a mistake when they posted the season.
    I have explained several times that I can find the show on iTunes but that it is asking to me to pay. I have even gone so far as to find the ID for that episode and send that to Apple. But the representative fails to read or understand the inquiry and just tells me how to download the featurette. And there doesn't seem to be a way to communicate frustration with Apple's "world class customer care". If it wasn't for the fact that none of Apple's competitors are doing any better I would look at going another route. Has anyone else had problems with this season pass? Or has anyone else found a way to cut through the bureaucracy and actually get some answers from Apple?

    So how do you reach them to complain? There are about 30 rants on the ITunes Mad Men reviews page, but that's to rate the show; I doubt the ITunes technicians (if any) read them. I've been back and forth with ITunes help and can't find any email address or phone number. And the page for Apple Help -- "Ask an expert!" -- specifically says the ITunes store isn't covered. Is this the perfect scam? They take our money, tell us all sales are final, and then make themselves unreachable.

  • Season Pass not working right - House

    This is the first time I've bought a season pass. I bought it between new episodes so it's the first time I've wanted to download a new episode with my season pass (season 3 of House).
    The season finale aired on Tuesday night. The FAQs say that the episode should be available for download the following morning (Wednesday). It's now Thursday and still not showing up as being avaialable for download.
    I paid for a season pass and it means I can't watch the latest episodes until how long after they've aired? It's not worth it if I can't get it after it's aired. Now that I'm caught up, I'll record it on my DVR and watch it as soon as it's over if I can't get it from iTunes in a timely manner.
    What's the point of paying forty bucks for something if I can't watch it after everyone's seen it on TV and are ruining the ending for me by talking about it before I can see it with this thing?

  • Apple TV Season Pass not working.

    I got a new Apple TV 3 a couple of weeks ago. I purchased the season pass of Pawn Stars Season 6. The two episodes that aired last week showed up on the listing  the day after they aired I was able to watch them just fine. The two episodes that aired this past Monday showed up on my Apple TV listing on Tuesday but it still only has a preview and purchase options and there is no play option.  I only view the TV show on the Apple TV and no other device.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on or how to correct it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will need to click the large ‘Report A Problem’ button under the list of previous purchases in order to reveal the ‘Report A Problem’ link for your recent purchase. If your purchase is listed as a previous purchase use the small arrow on the left side of its listing.
    Alternatively you can use the receipt email to report a problem.

  • Automatic clearing for Billing Reversal not working because of SPL 90

    Hi all experts,
    We recently implemented the Grants management module and SPL 90 is now active.
    We are now having a problem with automatic clearing for billing reversals.
    When I go to VF11 and try to reverse a document, the FI postings and FM postings seem to be happening. But the automatic reversal does not go all the way through because when it tries to post to special purpose ledger 90, it does not find the original document there and hence, stops.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot, in advance.
    AJ

    Can someone PLEASE look into this question?
    I really appreciate your feedback.
    Thanks.

  • Why is the Pages app for iPad Mini not working?

    For the last few days I have been having major issues with the word processing application Pages for the iPad. It is taking a very long time to show me my documents, then it takes just as long to open up documents. Then when it finally opens up the document I have selected; the entire functionality is extremely slow and sluggish.
    I turned the iPad on and off several times to see if that would help. I deleted the pages app. I even freed up some extra space on the iPad. None of these things have resolved anything.
    If it is at all relevant I am using the most recent version of Pages (especially since I re-downloaded it). I am also using the latest version of iOS 8 on the iPad. My iPad is synched to iCloud. I have a maximum storage capacity of 20 gb (to which I have only used 675 kb). I am using the first generation iPad Mini (which is the very first iPad mini)
    What could be the problem?
    Should I reset the factory settings of the entire iPad? I'm at a loss of how to resolve this.

    The problem may be due to slow internet access to icloud where the document is being stored and saved.
    Try creating a new document which is not on iCloud to see how the performance is.

  • Why can I no longer download my seasonal pass to the computer?

    Why can  no longer download my seasonal pass to the computer?

    Make sure you're using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the season pass by clicking iTunes > Store > View Account. Also, check for Available Downloads in the same menu.
    If you aren't sure how to complete your Season Pass downloads, see this Apple doc -> iTunes Store: Download options when purchasing TV seasons, Season Passes, Multi-Passes, movie bundles, music box sets, or individual movies or TV episodes

  • New Startgate Atlantis episode (15-Outcast) out, but not for season passes?

    This has happened quite a bit to me... Why do they put up new episodes of shows but not let the season pass holders get them when they check for purchases? Sometimes there are large delays before it lets me start downloading my new season pass releases even though they're already on iTunes.

    Ok... several hours later and STILL no download for season pass holders. All day it's been sitting up there for anybody to purchase, yet season pass holders are left out in the cold.
    So I decided to double pay and cough up the $2 and then complain later, but I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT! When I click on Buy Episode in the iTunes store, a pop-up window says "You have already purchased a season pass containing the TV Episode "The Last Man". You have already purchased a pass containing the TV Episode "The Last Man" but it has not yet been made available for download. An email will be sent when this occurs."
    Are you kidding me? I'm actually barred from even re-paying and forcing the download? Why are they actually punishing season pass holders?! This is starting to get on my nerves, seriously.

  • HT5731 why are the episodes of the season passes I bought not downloading, even though I have recieved the notification mail telling me that they are available?

    the episodes of the season passes are not downloading, when i try to download it from the link sent to me in the notificaition mail, the message "Unable to Process Your Request" appears.
    thanks for your help

    Apologies if this is an off-target question, but had you bought the HD season originally or just the SD version?
    The reason I ask is that I have had similiar difficulties with the autodown load and when I check for available downloads on season passes, it says all downloaded.
    Then, when I go to the store and search for the season, it first brings up the HD season indicating I would need to make a new purchase, but if I select on SD, there are my purchases and I can freely (and manually) download the latest episode without new cost.
    Needless to say, neither of us should have to go looking. Here is the iTunes technical support email: <[email protected]>. I encourage you to email them. I have already done so but I think it helps for anyone with this problem to also do so, so that they will realize it is a wider spread issue and not a human error by a single user.

  • Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

    Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
    I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
    The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
