Price is greyed out when buying tv episode in iTunes

I am trying to download a tv episode from iTunes. I can find the episode but the price is greyed out and won't let me buy it. Any ideas?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 6.1.3

  1. On your iPad, go to Settings > General > Restrictions
  2. Under the "Allow" section

    Make sure that "iTunes" is toggled to "ON"

  3. Under the "Allowed Content" section

    Make sure your "TV Shows" is set to the appropriate rating (for ex. if it is currently set to "TV-G", your iPad will not let you purchase the latest episode of Walking Dead) 🙂


It might also be due to the fact that the TV show is already downloaded/purchased with your Apple ID. Or that the TV show episode has not yet been released.


Hope that does it!

That is an interesting question and I don't know the answer. When you use the iPad as the hotspot, other devices can connect, but I don't know if the iPad can connect to its own hotspot. I am taking a guess and I would guess no it will not work. I have been wrong before and I know that I will surely be wrong again. 😀


You can try, but I have my doubts.
