Downloading episodes of a series

I purchased a series using iTunes on my MacBook, and it offered to download and then watch the first one. Having watched it I wanted to watch the next episode. I expected to see the titles of each episode in my library, since I'd purchased them, and that I'd click a cloud button or similar to download them as I wanted.


Instead, the library only displayed what I've downloaded. After quite some searching, using buttons like "In the store" (which didn't help at all), I went back to the store, searched for and found the episode I wanted (already purchased). From there I could download it.


I've checked all my preferences and have done everything recommended in the article above. Still, I have to go back to the store to download what I've already purchased.


It seems to me if I purchase a season, that the season as a whole should make an appearance in my library - no? I shouldn't need to go anywhere else other than my library to access what I've purchased I would have thought.

Hi mzmo,


If you have questions about the download options when purchasing a season/series of a TV show on the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

Thanks Brenden for your reply.


Unfortunately these articles only tell me everything I know already from poking around frustratedly with iTunes. What they don't say clearly is where one should look for other episodes that have been purchased, just not downloaded yet.


I'm indirectly suggesting an improvement to the software- that purchases and library be better integrated - so if I've bought a series, that series (all episodes) appears in my library, and when I want to watch then it downloads them. At present the procedure is not covered in the support pages, and is not intuitive.
