how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • How can i get a refund from iTunes gift card?recipient is not in my region!

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I just wonder how i can get my refund according to recipient's region. my friend subcribed his Apple ID as US and mine is in Thailand, as a result, my friend cannot download application i sent and it asked my friend to put in a Redeem Code everytime. Again, i just report a problem from itunes but when i clicked it didn't appear as an email. How can i report a problem? how can i get my money back? please help..
    Regards,
    Ampha

    You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    For future reference, you will not get responses from Apple to any question you ask in these forums. We're all just fellow users here. And you posted in a forum for questions about the Communities themselves. You usually will get the quickest and most applicable answers if you ask in the forum dedicated to the product or service about which you are asking.
    Regards.

    Verizon is corrupt in what they tell you and what they honor. Their right hand does not know what their left hand is doing.
    I am so angry at them for what they are NOT doing to solve problems we have had with billing since October. I have been putting horrible reviews on every site I can think of as well. This typically is not my approach but I have exhausted every avenue of reason with them up to this point. They are so big they don't care. Only thing though is I live in a small community that does pay attention to things others say and I am telling it like it is. Verizon customer service is a group of dishonest, incompetent people.

  • HT1657 How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played? (due to iTunes "unknown error")

    How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played?  (due to iTunes "unknown error"?)

    I'm not sure whether rentals appear on your purchase history, but try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If it doesn't appear there (or if that process doesn't work, it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT1657 On a rented video, only the soundtrack played.  How do I get a refund?

    On a rented video only the soundtrack, no audio played.  How do I get a refund?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

    On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several  reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
    I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
    Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
    My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

    Hi Stacy,
        What frustration? (Just kidding !)
        As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been  refunded. Credited by
    Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan  30.
        The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507,  has not been received
    by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise,  and has nothing
    to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
        To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows  that the order #
    AD011017507  was invoiced on January 22, but that no  credit invoice has been
    posted against this order to this moment!
        Can you begin to understand the frustration of  being unable, through
    all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within  one hour of the original
    order, with I believe nine different "Chats",  telephone calls and, finally
    a "problem" posting,  stretching over more  than thirteen days. Of course
    it doesn't make much sense to devote this much  attention to less than $50
    worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this  dangle.
        And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with  Adobe for fear of
    some real problem?
        At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you  can suggest a way for
    me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be  GREATLY appreciated!
        Thanks for your time and any trouble,
        Stephen Ellis

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • HT201238 I got an icloud upgrade for $20 on my iphone but i don't need it. how do i get this refunded?

    I got an icloud upgrade for $20 on my iphone but i don't need it. how do i get this refunded?

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
    Apple seem to have made this as difficult as possible. You may be able to do this using http://expresslane.apple.com -  click 'See all products and services',  then 'More Products and Services, then 'iCloud', 'Account and setup' then 'This topic is not listed'. Explain the situation in the box provided and wait for a response - include a phone number. However you may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.
    In that event you will need to phone them directly, using the Apple Online Store number given at the bottom of this page. The first person you speak to may tell you to do it from the iCloud website but this is not possible. Politely insist on escalating the issue to a more senior person and eventually you should be able to get through to someone who can deal with this (you may have to wait for them to call you back) - you will be asked security questions and for part of your credit card number to identify yourself.
    If it is more than 15 but less than 45 days you may be able to get a partial refund by the same method.
    If it is more than 45 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
