Apple TV purchased film displays wrong on LG

When I sync with Apple TV and vie the film on my LG 32" widescreen TV, the film "FOCUS" appears in the wrong format. TV set on 4:3 shows a very squeezed picture in 16:9 a lees scueezed but yet still anamorphic squeezed picture not coverering the screen.
It seems the codec 640 by 480 to be shown as 853 by 480 confuses ATV and the TV set.
Anyone with same error?

Thanks for your response.
No, it is not a 4:3 film It is 16:9 film. When the TV is set at 4:3 the picture is extremely squeezed. When set at 16:9 the picture is squeezed.
Please see illustration following these links http://ledsorensen.com/atv1.jpg http://ledsorensen.com/atv2.jpg
Every other film not purchased in Itunes is shown right. 16:9 fills the screen. Scope in letterbox. 4:3 in pillarbox.

Purchased Films no longer available to watch on Apple TV

Ill Manors
I have turned my Apple TV on to watch the above film which I purchased at £13.99 and have found this has been removed from the apple store and I can no longer watch this. How is this possible if I own the film?
But I have purchased this for £13.99 and now it has gone? If I have paid for it how can the studio or apple take the film away from me? I purchase all my films through Apple TV, but if I had known this would happen I would not have bought any! Over the last few years I have invested heavily in iTunes for films on the basis that I own the films as they say purchase, but this is clearly not purchasing it's more like an expensive hire!!!
This is as bad as me buying a bluray copy and having a thief breaking into my home and stealing it.
How can this be allowed??
Also I only have an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. I have bought into the Apple iCloud ethos, but it appeared to have let me down. Honestly I do not expect to pay for something that May or may not disappear for reasons out of my control. Someone at Apple needs to make due consideration towards this as the service has a major fault! We are in an age of cloud based services so the suggestion of backing up purchases is not acceptable especially when the Apple TV doesn't offer a hard drive option or even upgrade.
I have also just tried to watch Anuvahood of which again I purchased for £13.99. This has also been removed. How many more films will disappear? If you don't have indefinite licence from the studio how can you offer these movies as anything other than a rental?? I have spent thousands of pounds with Apple and I'm beginning to feel very unhappy with the whole service. When I buy something I do not expect it to disappear.
I wish to understand apples long term plans regarding offing purchases on Apple TV as I have bought another Apple TV recently and I do not see this as a realistic option at present.

That really does only tell me that the Apple TV is not a complete product. Something along the lines of buy films from us using your cloud based tv solution but you also have to buy a computer and an obscenely large hard drive to protect your purchases.
Again as I have previously stated the iCloud Apple TV ethos around movies is flaud. Still the movies on the Apple TV say buy(that means I own them).
Why once removed are we not informed?
I hope you don't work at apple as I have just added up my entire itunes account purchases and they equate to over £15k. Terms or no terms and back up or no back up, I purchased them on a extended rental.
How many more films may fall under this same situation? I have 415 films today, how many tomorrow?

Apple TV does not display music purchases

My Apple TV is not displaying my iTunes music purchases. The Apple TV says it has the most recent software updates. Appreciate any tips.

HT1600 how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared video so i can see it on apple tv

how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared videos so it links into apple tv

Well, it really depends on the file format your friends are using to send you the video. iTunes will only play certain formats, think of it as........having a car that only takes premium gasoline. If your friends give you a million gallons of regular gasoline, sure it's gasoline, but it won't work in your car. (That's a bad analogy but it's the best I can come up with).
So, if you open up your mail (are you using the Mail program on your computer, or going to a website such as gmail.com or yahoo.com to access your mail?), you should be able to right click the video and select to download it.
This should download it to your "downloads" folder, it should be on your dock if you didn't remove it. Click it, and select the "More in finder" button at the very top of the "stack". If not, click the "Finder" button on your dock, and on the left click the Downloads tab.
Now, you must find the video. It should have the name of the video with the extension (an example would be...... firstbirthday.mp4). The extension is the ".mp4" part. Yours may be .mov, .mp4, .mkv, .avi, the list goes on and on, but it's very important.
You can try dragging the movie into iTunes (drag it anywhere over where it says Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and it should hopefully turn to a little green bubble with +1. If the extension is not compatible, then, converting will be needed and that's a bit more tricky. It's also a little more tricky to get them to play on your Apple TV unless you use AirPlay.
Let us first know what extension these videos are in and we can go from there.

I purchased the display version of my mac pro and it had the Pages app. I just reset it to factory settings and the app is no longer on it. Is there a way I can get it back for free?

I purchased the display version of my Macbook Pro at a navy exchange. The woman working at the store did not know how to reset to factory so I took it home as was. I have been using it for about a month and the laptop had Pages and Keynote on it already. I just reset to factory settings and it now has neither. Is there a way to get these back for free? I think my computer purchase makes it eligible to have these apps for free but since I reset it they are gone.

Go to the App Store where you can purchase copies of the apps. You cannot get them for free. The ones installed belonged to the previous owner. You will need to purchase using your Apple ID.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? Mine is defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? It's currently defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

Any apps you purchased with the no-longer-existing ID will always have to be updated with the password to that account, you cannot merge account purchases.
To change to your new account go to Settings > Store > Apple ID: and put in the one you want to use.

? re Netflix & BT Youview Purchased Films

I recently subscribed to Netflix for two screens + HD but initially left the overlapping BT Films in place. Netflix works well and if that situation continues for a while I shall consider cutting out the overlapping BTY service I receive ... which includeds films.
However, I have a question; I have purchased a number of films from BT which I have "forever" So can someone tell me the status of those if I do unsubscribe from that bolt on service, namely will I still be able to watch them via a BT Youview archive or will BT provide the HD hard copies of each film I have purchased AND if it is the latter how do I go about organising that so that the whole change is a seamless affair.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

The cancellation of Film/TV bolt on has no impact on purchased films. When you purchase a film this is available for viewing on your YouView box, you do not get a hard copy only a digital copy. You can download the BT Purchase app from the Apple store or the Google Play store. These apps give you the option of viewing the films by streaming, or you can download a copy to one device or even download the copy to your computer. This allow you to view any film without Internet access or even abroad. If you leave BT you have to download the file to a device of your choice which you can keep. Hope that assists.

Extension cable for Apple 24" LED Cinema Display

Purchased the newly refreshed Mac Pro (Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor) and an Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. (The new graphics cards support the mini displayport.) They work well together and I am happy with the results.
There is a snag. The cable on the monitor is too short to reach my computer, which needs to go under the desk. The cable on the display is hard wired. I would prefer not to drill a new hole in the desk if I can avoid it.
The obvious solution would be an extender cable. I find a number of cables that support the displayport standard, but all are M to M. In fact, Belkin notes that their cables are NOT for Apple's mini displayport. The Apple store has nothing on its site, call to the Apple store yielded no solution, and I live four hours from the nearest Apple store. Apple after moving to standard solutions appears to have gone back to a proprietary one again.
I cannot be the only one having this problem. Anybody found a way to extend this cable?

It is around two feet long. I would not have a problem with this if I could extend it or Apple had adopted the standard cable with female connector on the display so I could purchase a longer cable. Apple has a long history of slipping into proprietary solutions that are often good (e.g., magsafe on MacBook) but tend to cramp ones ability to come up with solutions they have not thought of.
There are a growing number of m-m cables that would work from various vendors like Belkin, but I have found no extenders from Apple or any other vendor.
As to the monitor itself, I LOVE it. I am sure there will be a solution eventually. I have the new Mac Pro and monitor on the kitchen counter. Not sure how long my wife's patience will last.

Websites Display Wrong

Not all but some websites are displaying wrong. This happens with other browsers also and it is also happening to me on the itunes store. Instead of seeing the webpage content on the page like it is normally seen, I see text running down the left side of the screen on the page. Most images are not there, but some are. Here is a little portion of what I see from MSN's website:

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
First, make sure Safari isn't running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference, if not...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. if that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And repair disk permissions...
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If nothing above has helped, go to ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari. ~ (Tilde) represents your Home Folder.
