Ok, so I downgraded from the latest version of iTunes 12.2.1 to 10.7 but unfortunately when I download a purchased TV Show to my library, iTunes keeps asking me to authorise my computer over and over again and won't allow me to view my downloaded TV Show. I have tried reauthorising and reauthorising my computer with no success.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389. If your country permits re-downloads, delete the file and re-download. Also check - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried to delete and re-download my purchased TV Show. But this doesn't work either unfortunately.
Is this just Apples way of trying to stop me from downgrading?
Not Apple doing it. They would find it inconceivable anybody would want to downgrade from the newest and best. However, downgrading is complicated because iTunes installs things all over the place. If you miss one piece then suddenly you are running a 1964 Mustang car with a 2015 fuel injector (no such thing as fuel injectors back in 1964) in place of a carburetor.
Did you try all the other things in that help article or did you only do what I had copied and pasted from somewhere?
I have tried the solutions the link gives you. It didn't work either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. :[
P.s I can download purchased music from iTunes but not TV Shows without it asking me to authorise my computer again and again without ever letting me watch the downloaded TV Show.
Movies and TV shows, unlike music, require a computer be authorized to your account to play. They still have DRM protection to ensure the media is being played on a piece of equipment you own. Something in that process is not working. Sometimes it is the media file that is corrupt so when iTunes checks back the machine authorization and file don't match because the file information is bad. If you have downloaded the file again then likely it isn't corrupt a second time (though it might be worth trying to play other movies or TV shows you have from Apple) and it is something else in the process that is breaking down. This is where troubleshooting is tricky because downgrading is susceptible to not being done completely. I can't really provide more help, sorry. You may wish to do a general web search about this issue (that's basically what I do in answering 75% of the questions I solve here 🙂 )
Ok, I'll try a web search and see what I come up with. Thanks a lot for trying anyway. Your help is much appreciated.
