Why is my purchased tv show skipping and freezing?

I bought two episodes of a TV show and they've both completely downloaded, however when I try and watch them they skip and freeze and it seems as if the sound doesn't match up with the picture.  Any idea why this is happening? I've never had any trouble playing content on my laptop before.

Hi, ANM100.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here are a couple resources I could recommend to help you troubleshoot this issue.  The first article will help troubleshoot the audio and video out of sync issue.  If the media has been purchased from iTunes it could be an issue with the downloaded media.  You can delete the problematic media and download it again free of charge by following the steps in the second article.

    Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID on your Apple TV as the one you used to buy stuff with.  I made that mistake before!

    It may have been deleted. Nonetheless, you can recreate it:
    -Go into iTunes
    -Click File > New Smart Playlist...
    -On the first dropdown menu in the Smart playlist creator, select "Purchased"
    -For the second dropdown menu, make sure "is true" is selected, thus recreating your Purchased playlist

  • Quicktime video skips and freezes after exporting from FCP

    I have tried exporting from Final Cut a few different ways, but my QT file had short skips and freezes in the video (the audio is perfect).
    I have done this same thing several time with no problems at all. What am I doing wrong?

    DETAILS
    What are you exporting?
    How are you exporting... QT Movie, Conversion, what settings?
    What drive are you exporting to?
    What version of FCP and QT?

  • IPOD 1st generation Skipping and Freezing

    My Ipod will work for a while and then a file will skip and then make my Ipod freeze. I know how to reset it, and when I do, it will work for a bit and then skip and freeze again. Any idea how to fix that?

    It sounds to me like the drive is getting tired. That is an old and venerable iPod and has served you well I am sure. I think that a Nano or one of the other new iPods are in order here. Or if not it maybe that you will have to live with it. I don't know what it would cost you to have it fixed but MacResQ has always done well by me. Check it out with them.

    Please check if other users have the same problem when you colleague share his desktop with them.
    Mostly this is related the computer or the Lync client.
    Please try to use the Lync 2010 to do the sharing.

  • Why wont my purchased TV Shows not sync?

    Hi there,
    i have set up my Apple TV to sync all my unseen TV Shows and some music and some photos.
    After syncing actually it has synced some old videos which i have manually put into iTunes, but it will not sync my purchased "daily show" episodes, though i have 5 unseen episodes.
    There is plenty of space left in the (otherwise too small) 40 GB Apple TV, but i really dont see why it wont sync the daily show.
    of course i have checke "synced" etc....

    Did this get resolved? I am having the same problem. 4 ATV's hooked to one Mac Pro, will not copy the purchased TV shows to the ATV hard drive. Does the number ATV's on the local network count towards authorized computers for the iTunes account?

  • Why do pre-purchased songs show up in a separate album?

    I pre-purchased an album and multiple songs were available for download early. When the album was released and the rest of the tracks were downloaded, iTunes created a separate album by the same name and artwork. How can I fix this? I want all of the tracks under one album and I think it's a little ridiculous to have to create a playlist to listen to a full album I purchased. Any help is appreciated.

    If the songs your purchased were purchased under the same Apple ID that you have currently signed on to iTunes on your computer then your purchases will show up. Click on iTunes Store, and under Music Quick Links, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. All of your past purchases that are not on your current computer will show up with the cloud next to them. Click on the individual songs to download them selectively, or click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of them.
    You must be sure that:
    The Computer is Authorized to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
    iTunes is signed on to the Apple ID that you made the purchases with
    If your songs are all in the "All" Category, but none show in the Not in My Library category, are the songs that you believe are missing showing in the All list? If not, then one of the two items above is probably not as stated.

  • Why are my purchases not showing up

    I was attempting to download all of my purchases off of iCloud, and onto my computer. A notification came up and I accidentally clicked the "ok" button. I have no idea what the notification said, but I *do* know that all of my music purchases have disappeared off of my account and my computer. I am beyond frustrated, and it would be very nice to have some *free* assitance.

    Hey xHadley,
    Check out this article that will let you go through and download the past purchased through iTunes. It will give steps to do this through multiple devices including iTunes.

  • Why is my ipod touch 5g lagging and freezing in Safari?

    Especially when the webpage has pictures/photos/visuals/graphics, Safari lags and freezes hugely and is basically inoperable. I've tried resetting the device (holding home buttona and sleep button at same time until apple logo appears) but doesn't help. What's going on? I'm very dissapointed at Apple.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Safari and Dlete Cookies, Data and History
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why isnt my purchased music showing in the purchased section

    I got a new iphone 6 for christmas and i've been trying to sync my music from my iphone 5 for a trip, but when i go to sync music all it has is the u2 album and two other songs. and when i look up the album/songs i want to resync it says purchased but i have no way to sync it because it doesnt show up in the purchased sections.

    To Ritthissakdi:  Why did he not what? 
    To: rachd_1325:  You need to be signed in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase the music, apps, etc.  When you are signed in to that Apple ID, the music, apps, films, etc. that were purchased with that Apple ID will appear under purchased.
    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID used to purchase the music.  If not, you must sign in with that Apple ID.  Then scroll down and make sure the appropriate items you desire and toggled ON.
    Afterwards, go to to your iTunes Store app and you will find the music you have purchased will be shown under "Purchased".

  • After downloading ios 7, my iphone 4 will sync but my music will not show up only itunes purchases will show up and be the only ones playing. the rest have a little red square next to them

    Ive been having this problem ever since i upgraded to ios 7. I went to put new music on my iphone, and i synced my phone went to listen to my music and it either has a cloud next to it, a red square, or is there but clear and will not play. Seems that purchases from itunes are the only music that actually work. When i put my phone on shuffle, it continues to shuffle through my music until it finds a song that will actually play, which ends up being one of the purchased songs. I have a total of about 1300 songs, about 600 purchases and the rest just dont work. Please help me find what is wrong with this because it has been weeks and im going insane and really debating on switching over to a different phone brand like the new blackberry or s4, im done with apples ****.

    Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it.  This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos.  I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder.  It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder.  I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

  • Why isn't Firefox playing any streaming videos anymore?...On youtube or wherever I go the audio keeps going but the actual video just skips and freezes up the computer..
