I bought a movie three days ago.  It begins to download from the cloud, then my iPad goes to sleep and when I open it again, it starts downloading from the BEGINNING.  How do I get the WHOLE MOVIE to download?  I have re-booted but that didn't help.

I can't seem to figure out how to download a movie.  It begins to download (and yes, I've checked my download speed and my bandwidth and both should, in theory, be adequate to download a movie!) but then the iPad will go to sleep and when I get back to it, it shows that I have bought the movie but nothing is downloaded.  And when I try to download the next time, nothing is saved and it starts again from the beginning of the download.
I sat down by my iPad while I was working and every few minutes I would swipe to turn it on and it got over half of the movie downloaded.  But then I had to go to leave and now it shows nothing is downloaded.
I can see having it take a few hours to download IF one was able to just start the download and walk away and come back later to watch the movie.  But to have to repeatedly begin from the start of the download is incredibly frustrating.  I would want my money refunded to my iTunes account at this point, if I was able to do that.  It's just not worth the hassle.
Suggestions?  How does one download a movie from iTunes?  It should not have to be this hard!!

See if you can redownload it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you can then delete from your iPod if you can and redownload.
If you can't delete from iPod, go to to iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads on your computer ,  amd dpwnload and sync

  • I restored my software on phone and now I can't get anything. The screen just has an emergency call feature and when I call it , it doesn't ring.  Any idea how I can get back into the line?

    How do I get the phone to work again?  It has no apps on it and the only thing I can do is make an emergency call and when I call it from another line I just get voicemail.  Before restoring I backed up the info but don't know how to get it restored on the phone.

  • My IPod mini appears to be working, but I do not get any sound.  I have reset it, but that didn't help.  Is it possible that when it was exposed to a lot of sweat it shorted the speaker card?

    My Ipod mini will not produce sound.  I have reset it, still no sound.  The only thing that I think might be causing this (and I want to know if I am correct) I carried it in my  hand while walking in extream heat.  The perspiration may have gotten in the device.

    Be sure to try another set of headphones, if you have one.
    Since you already did a Reset, the next thing you can try is to go to the Settings screen on the iPod (from the main screen).  There should be an option at the bottom that says something like Reset All Settings.  Choose that option to reset iPod to default settings.
    If that does not bring back the sound, the next thing to try is a Restore in iTunes.  Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  The Restore button is there.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is a software or settings glitch, a Restore should fix it.  Try putting a few songs on the iPod to check if there is improvement.
    If that does not bring back the sound, it is probably a hardware problem.  A fix would then require replacing whatever part is faulty inside the iPod.  It could be the headphone jack or something on the logic board.  Moisture getting inside could have caused the problem, but it could just be age; maybe the headphone jack is just worn out.

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

    I just bought a new ipod touch and when i plug it into my Mac usb port nothing is happening I can get the computer to sync other ipod in the same port

    Try:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph.
    Is the iPod that connects an iPod touch? If not that does not mean anything since iOS devices like iPod touch, iPhone and iPad use different drivers than other iPods.

  • My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically. Any thoughts?

    My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically (I had been trying to open it just before by clicking on a song file in my Documents window, and that's the song that started playing when the pc woke up). I went to my iTunes Help and clicked Updates/download iTunes 10.7 twice, but got nothing. Now, Im wondering if I should downloacd the entire 10.7, or whether that would overwrite all my files, erasing my songs. Anybody know? Thanks.

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen. will not convert to widescreen on rotating the ipod since downloading os5. I restored in itunes but that didn't help.

    The problem started after updating the software to os5. I tried restoring in itunes but that didn't help. Is os5 or one of my apps causing the problem? Can I convert back to the previous operating system?

    Check the orientation lock. Open the multitask bar, swipe from left to right. Next to the ipod controls is the icon for orientation lock, tap on it to unlock your screen again.

  • I have an "old" Apple ID set up 13 years ago.  Apple has now gone to using email address as the apple ID.  I have apps to update and they ask for old ID.  it does not exist.  How can I get the ID on the app changed to the new apple ID

    I set up an apple id many years ago when itunes was established.  Within the past year or so, Apple has changed to using email address as user id.  My problem is that I have many applications that I can not update due to the fact that it is asking for the password of the old ID.  It does not exist anymore.  Any ideas on how to get the new apple id associated with the application without deleting the application.  Several of these apps I purchased.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.
