Q: Turning restrictions on then off resulting in duplicate TV shows
I search the forums, but didn't see a solution to this issue, though there were other posts along this line:
On my iPad, 3rd generation, with iOS 7.1 installed (and even before, with 7.0.6)...
When I have videos downloaded to the Videos app (such as TV shows), and then I turn on restrictions to not allow TV shows, then I turn the restrictions off again.. the TV show episode all show duplicates. This is when I view them with iTunes match enabled. In addition, the episodes that I had already downloaded show up as not downloaded/available on the iPad. And, if I select to download an episode from the cloud, all duplicates show as downloading.
This wouldn't really be a big deal, but apparently, the episodes seem to take up more space, as if I am actually downloading duplicate copies. In addition, the episodes that were downloaded prior to turning on restrictions still seem to take up memory space, as indicated by my overall memory usage (but the videos app itself does not show up as using much memory).
How do I report this as an issue, in hopes that it is fixed someday? The restrictions are useful for when, for example, I want to temporarily restrict access to TV shows for my children while allowing them to use other apps on the iPad.
