Free Blade pilot download disappeared after upgrading to iTunes 7

After upgrading to iTunes 7, the 1 hour 43 minute free download of the show Blade dissapeared from my computer. It's no longer in my iTunes folder. As far as I know, it's not suppose to expire?

Anyone else have the same problem? It's still on my iPod which I'm now afraid to sync with the new iTunes. Is there a way to re-download it?

I installed the new version on my pc (where I sync my 5g ipod to) and my episode of blade is still there. It's also on my ipod, so everything seems ok here.

Try re-authorizing your computer.

Also, make sure that you have downloaded and installed the new quicktime version. I had to do both in order to play some videos and to play the one game that I have downloaded so far.

Also, check auto update in the iTunes prefs, and then manually "check for updates" from the menu, then restart your computer and the iPod.


One more thing, (hopefully you enabled disk mode for the ipod and set your ipod to manual update before you changed the itunes); back up your data from the ipod, or use Senuti to get the data and shows from ipod onto a computer.

According to the manual, sync'ing your iPod to your computer will add any purchased music and other programming to your computer without deleting it.

Whoops, just noticed you are on a pc, check for pc apps to get the manual backup functions. Then, get a Mac.

Like many of the pilots, it was free for a limited time.


It's strange but before I downloaded the Blade pilot, the actual file was not in the Blade folder under iTunes folder. It was actuall in a folder called downloads. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Perhaps that's a temporary storage place for downloaded iTunes files?
