Apple+ and purchase of season 1 of FX "Old Man"

I have purchased -"The Old Man" season 1 on Apple TV I have watched the first 6 episodes, but the latest -episode 7 shows up as available, but I am unable to stream it without being redirected to Hulu or FX to download the application and subscribe. Anyone knows what this might be about?

Thanks,

Jacek

We just finished a chat with Apple Support regarding this issue and were told that Apple is just acting as a payment portal and is not responsible for delivery of content. Basically they take your money and then don't care whether or not the product is delivered. They did offer a refund, so if the episode does not appear soon and if enough of us start requesting a refund, maybe in the future they will learn to care about delivering what was purchased.

I'm having the same problem. But let's be honest here. Tim doesn't give a ****. He has our money, so what if there's a delay??? I know it's a minor thing here, but Apple, under Tim's reign has only benefited stock holders. What innovation has Tim provided lately? He's only gotten me to waste my time here. Remember when Apple was a computer company?

This seems to be a standard reply. When MLB offered refunds for the MLB season pass in the 2020 Covid shortened season, Apple refused to honor the refund, saying it only applied if you bought the pass directly through MLB and not through iTunes. I spent hours emailing, chatting and speaking with Apple support, to no avail. Needless to say, I now only purchase through MLB directly.


As a long time customer (I purchased the original Macintosh in 1984), it is truly disappointing to see how little regard Apple has for its customer base. Even Amazon is more responsive to long term customers than Apple, these days.

This is utterly unacceptable. Apple made me the promise of a complete season pass, not FX or Hulu, I paid Apple, so as far as I’m concerned, Apple is responsible. After several calls, a 48 hour wait for a respnse which never came, I conclude that nobody at Apple is the slightest bit interested in helping me find out what’s going on, or in providing me what I paid for in a timely manner. If they’re going to offer this service, then they and they alone need to stand behind their promises. If FX doesn’t deliver the product Apple should go after them for me, not shrug their shoulders and act like it’s up to me to sort it out. Like someone said, if Apple customer support has decided to act like Comcast customer support, in the long run they’re gonna wind up without any customers.

Indeed. It would be so much better if Apple learned from Amazon(!) to respond in a similar way, and inform their customers/subscribers that the problem is on their side -Apple, and please wait until we make the episode available. It may take a few days... Instead routing callers through a slew of 'tech support' people without the technical knowledge to provide support.. Kind of like Comcast/Xfinity recommending unplugging the router and modems and reconnecting them to fix every(!) issue...

Aaaaargh....

It’s pretty much a refund situation at this point. Did anyone see the fine print saying we purchased a partial season, and needed to purchase another stream service providing the season finale for “Old Man”. I would imagine we’ll all be avoiding the purchase of an Apple TV season from another streaming production from here out. This is the worst purchase in Apple history, bar none. Who makes these decisions without full knowledge of the product it’s selling? Honestly, this is pathetic.

Apple stop giving a **** when Steve died and Tim took over. It’s not Apple Computer it’s just Apple. They make phones. They’re beholden to their stockholders. Period. What serious innovation has there been since Tim took over? They’ve gone the same way as Adobe and Federal Express. Ever file a complaint with FedEx????
