24 hours after you start the Movie?????
How about that, today is the first time I download a rental, having a very fast connection, 4 megs even more, because the owner of the cable company lives in my building so we have a very but very fast connection. It took three hours and a half to download the friking movie, so my wife and I started to watch it even though did not download completely, because it said that it was ready to watch, so I though that in the long run it would not affect it( we would not even notice). No the deam movie stop all the time because did download so we had to wait in the beginning, middle, all over until finish to download.
So when you are ready to enjoy something it got all mess up and it destroy our time.
I am not changing from dvd.
Not only that, my wife wanted to have subtitles ( spanish), and it does not give you the option.
So know Is one o'clock in the morning, did not finnish to watch to the movie and it says that I have 20 more hours to see it, so I have to force myself tomorrow to see it, if not I will loose my money and time, after 20 hours I believe it will erase by itself.
With a DVD i can see it as many times that I want, I have my subtitles, and at least if it is rented I have at least a week, to return it.
Video on demand via internet is still a relatively new product, and competing proprietary delivery systems, broadband availability/speed, imposed DRM restrictions all mean it may suit some customers and not others.
I'd say that for you DVD probably is still the best option.
For me in the UK Apple movie rentals aren't even available yet, and when they are with a lowly 1Mbps due to my telephone line 'distance from exchange', downloading will be a lengthy process.
However, I do envisage using it if it becomes available - if I know there's a film I'll want to watch I could just set it to rent before going to work or the night before and it'll be there the evening I want to watch it. Still more convenient than going to the local Blockbuster and returning the film even if the viewing period might be shorter via AppleTV.
While I'm still old enough to like to own my own music media, particularly as downloads are compressed and of inferior quality to CD, I don't feel the same way about movies as I only want to own the occasional exceptional film I'd watch several times, but even with those I wouldn't be surprised if renting would turn out cheaper until you'd watched the movie 5-6 times basing it on the inflated release prices of a DVD.

Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application xp
Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application. I have adobe acrobat 8.1 running on a dell vostro 1400 vista.
Are you sure it's crashed and not 'temporarily-frozen'?
I'm having this issue with Acrobat 9, in which it launches and runs long enough to page down two times and then stops responding for about 30 seconds. -
Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels every time you start the app.
I want to confirm that this is not an isolated issue and to make a bit more noise because Apple didn't fix this in the 10.5.3 update. The problem is that the Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start the app. This only happens if the Address Book window is sized vertically larger than minimum. Now, each time you quit and start Address book it will reposition it's window 3 pixels down. After some time and many Quit/Starts your window will end up at the bottom of your screen and even size itself down to vertical minimum. If you have it positioned so that the bottom of the window protrudes off the screen then it will continue until it reaches the top bar of the window. It's not a serious bug I know. But, for the way I use Address Book it's annoying to have to reposition it's window to align with my other apps which I have open aligned/arranged at startup. It's just that all the other Leopard apps don't do this. Maybe it's a feature added to avoid patent infringement. Who knows! Apple I know you have bigger fish to fry but would you please clean this up.
To test first start Address Book and size your Address Book window vertically larger than its smallest size. Now repeatedly quit and start the Address Book application. Watch your Address Book window migrate down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start. Have fun, watching Address Book falls from grace. Good thing it doesn't migrate off screen completely!Hey! It works! Nice catch
Gee, now if the rest of Leopard would work properly they would even have the time to fix this -
I plugged my Ipod touch into my Dell laptop and went to Itunes. Itunes told me I should down load an upgrade, so I did. Itunes said the down load would take two hours. I started the down load, but after two + hours (&longer) , after several starts and stops the down load never completed.
I recently got a (fake anti virus) virus and it damaged my computer. I got it fixed and reinstalled the software and it appears to be working correctly. Could this be the part of the problem ?
Would it help if I reloaded the Itunes (off an external HD) or downloaded it again from Itunes ?
ThanksI doubt it. For my updates, it has typically taken me many tries/retries. Like for you, the download would stop. and I would have to restart from the beginning. If you get a network timed out error try disabling the security software on your computer.

Did you move your OneDrive to another location or change its name?
Please login OneDrive with web-based to check if you could access it successfully.

HT5248 How do you start the dictate feature?
After the update iWork still looks the same and search Help did not bring anything up. So how to you start the dictate feature to have your speech to text?
Once you upgrade to ML, you go to System Preferences and enable it. Then you select your shortcut for turning it on and off. The default is a double-tap on the fn key.

I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button
I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button. The hard part is the buttons must change independently of each other.
To get an idea of some of things I’ve tried I’ve tried making the movie with two frames.
When I click the button it switched to the new frame which would show a movie clip,
Unfortunately all buttons would change color together and don’t see how to make it so that they change independently.you must use movieclip buttons and code for their frame changes.

Tried installing itunes for 64 bit Windowns on my PC several times but each time soon after download starts the box disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas?
11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS) -

How do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on?
how do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on itunes?
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue. -

The buttons do wear out, and when they do you'd need to get the phone serviced.
