my netflix downloads keep failing on my new ipad

I'm in the market for a new iPad but I just cannot justify buying an iPad with a larger capacity until I can actually use the extra space. I absolutely refuse to buy another Apple device until this is fixed. I've spent thousands of dollars on iTunes movies and hardware to watch them. I'm baffled and disgusted this isn't fixed. I've gone as far as to get a new iPad from Apple using my warranty, that did nothing so its clearly something with Apple's servers or a bug in iOS. Now when I try to download movies I own i get 'Watch' hit it and it takes me to the Videos app where that movie is not. Occasionally I'll look and its reading it properly, but that seems to become more rare as time between restores goes. I did a force restart then tried a full restore and used my iCloud back up when those didnt work I just did another restore but did not use my iCloud backup for fear of putting the same error back on my iPad. I had 7 movies downloaded, I could watch them with no issues but when I'd look in the usage it would show 'No Data' for Videos. Before that I started noticing my iPad wouldn't tell me how much space my movies were taking up. I might be a little late to this but I'm so happy to hear its not just me. I tap the download cloud icon and the movie seems to be downloading.

When I tap one of the iTunes app WATCH movies there is a download cloud icon inside!.

All the videos I've ever bought show up there, whether present on the iPad or not. Now I go to the Video app instead of the iTunes app. Signing out and signing back in at Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID didn't help.īut I think I have found an annoying work around: under Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All I can set Video to on. The number in Settings > General > About > Videos does match the number of TV shows plus the number of movies that actually show up in the Videos app.Ĭlosing the iTunes and Videos apps didn't help. It started recently, but I don't know if it started with 7.1 (this is an iPad Air). I have the same problem: *some* purchased movies in the iTunes app have a WATCH icon in place of the download cloud icon but there are no corresponding movies in the Videos app.
