Apple vs roku.(what do they offer?)

When will Apple add more channels and content to Apple TV? I'm starting to regret my purchase and wishing I would have gone with the roku instead. I know I can use air play with my other devices,but that is not always convenient and I really don't want to have to use my phone or ipad every time I want to watch content that is not available on Apple TV. I love my apple products,but Apple is really slacking when it comes to their TV streaming device. I'm looking to cut down on my expenses,and roku has everything that's on Apple TV + hundreds and hundreds of paid AND FREE channels to offer to satisfy a wide variety of interests for people of all ages and backgrounds and you don't have to fork out a single cent. Plus they support Amazon Prime.Sorry Apple:-( . I haven't made the switch yet,but I will be purchasing another streaming device soon for the bedroom and I'm hoping to stay true to Apple.

Athough there are some indications that Apple is expanding the AppleTV product line (and have added a number of apps to it over the last few months), until such time as an official annoucement is made, no one here would be able to tell you what is in store (this is a user-to-user forum).
If you think Roku serves your needs better, perhaps that is what you should purchase.

View Links? What do they offer?

I'm new to BC4J and I may be misunderstanding what view
links are for but it seems to me that I can accomplish
the same thing with a View Object.
What I mean is:
It seems that the main purpose of View Links is to join View
Objects.
Why join the Views when you can join the Entity Objects in a View
Object.

How to make contact to apple? Because it ***** that they offer a paid series pass simultaneously as a streaming flatrate provider....

I have ordered a season pass for Breaking Bad, for a lot of money. Now Wtchever provides it for free, if you have an account, what I have. I woukd expect, that I can see my paid episode at least one day earlier than te flatrate guys, But it comes almost simultaneously. What is going on? If I pay for something, I want to have something for my money!!

You have something for your money: you will have those episodes, to keep and watch forever (as long as "forever" means when it comes to technology) without needing any sort of network connection once the episodes have been downloaded. If that's not sufficient incentive for you. then by all means patronize other services in the future. Whether you can get a refund of your order for Breaking Bad I don't know, the terms of sale for the iTunes Store stating that all sales are final, but you can contact them and ask. Click the Support tab above, then go to the Contact Apple Support area, click the link, and follow the on-screen instructions.
As to the timing of availability of the episodes, that's completely up to the show's owners.
Regards.

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
16 GB RAM
itunes up-to-date
Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
1 GB RAM
itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

HT204053 I changed my apple ID. What can I do to change the icloud ID also so that they are the same.

I changed my Apple ID. What can I do to change my icloud ID also so that they are the same.

If you used the "Manage your Apple ID" login at https://appleid.apple.com to simply change your primary email address of your existing AppleID, then all you need do is log out of iCloud and then log back in with the new email. If on an iOS device, go to settings, delete the iCloud account, and then log back into it with the new email address.
If you actually created a wholly new AppleID, then you cannot change that for your existing iCloud address. You can make a new iCloud account with the new AppleID. But your current iCloud login would continue to use the same AppleID as its login.

My parents just bought an ipad. Their apple ID is correct in all the places except in the iTunes and App Stores settings. It won't let you click on the Apple ID to change it. What should they do?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id. I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone. If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to? Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

What do they mean by your apple id has been disabled and how do I enable it? I get this each time I try to update my apps.

Got it sorted. AN e-mail to teh support centre got me three replies, two reasuring me that someone os working on it and the third giving me the information that the ID is enabled again and ready to use. All within 24h. Of course without any information as to why the problem came up in teh first place. At least it was swift action.

I found some little black dots n my iPhone 5 screen. I've only had it for 2 weeks. What are they and will apple replace my iPhone for a new one or fix it?

They should have one in Stock, but you never know. Call your Apple Store and tell them you have an iPhone 5 color and GB, and that you most likely will need a replacement, do they have any in Stock. If yes, go in, if not ask for advice on how to handle your problem.

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

Call them and ask. It will not be free. Abuse and damage are not covered by the warranty.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Your warranty on the iPod has expired, so this is what Apple say.
"My iPod warranty has expired. What are my service options?
Apple offers two service options for iPods that are no longer within warranty. If your iPod, iPod with color display, U2 iPod, or iPod mini requires service only because the battery’s ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will replace your iPod for a service fee of $59, plus $6.95 shipping.
If you own an iPod, and it requires service for any other issue, Apple will replace your iPod for the service fee listed below, plus $6.95 shipping and handling.
iPod $249
iPod Nano & iPod Mini $189
iPod shuffle (1 GB) $89
iPod shuffle (512 MB) $59"
If it's just a battery replacement you require, there are cheaper options if you Google 'iPod mini batteries'.
