Are there any plans to make renting iTunes movies workable, Apple? Or should I just use Amazon, BBC, Netflix, etc., which all stream HD?

I have tried twice to use iTunes rental.You have to plan ahead, preferrably the day before, unless you have a fast broadband connection.
I don't.
However, my slow broadband connection enables me to stream instatly HD content from Netflix, BBC and now Amazon.
So, if I wanted to watch a movie on a journey, I guess downloading the whole movie would do the trick if I planned ahead.
But there are alternatives, particularly for those of us who still have DVD drives.
So, is iTunes movie just designed for commuters?
I think we should be told.

Thank you for getting back so quickly.
If I knew how to remove my post I would.
As for the problem, I don't know where to turn. Twitter, perhaps.

  • Are there any plans to make "In Browser Editing" a little more powerful? For example, to add links or to do basic text styling.

    Even the basic text editor that I'm using, right here, to post this question would be more than sufficient. The ability to turn on or off capabilities of the editor depending on the ability of the client would be very useful as well. Thank you.

    There are several thread on this Nathan,
    The answer is yes of course.
    For images - Modern work - Left right align not that good. Your better creating classes to float the images and have those in your dropdown. You get better results as well.
    You can go into your partner portal and customise the editor - Turning off the inline font stuff for example is a 100% must for us to avoid issues and the SEO implications those give.
    I would highly recommend doing a .image-left and .image-right class dropdown options and in the CSS for those float:left etc with margin around the image... Heaps better output and clean markup.

    The new library panel for Photoshop and Illustrator is great, but InDesign needs to incorporate the panel. Is there a workaround or plans to add CC Library to InDesign?

  • Are there any plans to make muse accept after effects files?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs it... Edge is fine and all but it doesn't have nearly the the range that After Effects does. All I want to do is create a truly animated button and import it into Muse. I feel like we're extremely limited with a service we're paying for... especially if you have all of the other Adobe programs to use with it.

    The PB will only tether to a BlackBerry Phone.
    That's not true, I use a Nokia N8 smartphone and it tethers perfectly to it.

  • As far as I know, the iPad cannot presently playback a full length movie from a DVD or any other source.  Are there any plans to add such a capability to the iPad in the future?

    Phil0124:  Sorry, I guess that I may not have communicated clearly initially.  The reason that I asked about the DVD reading capability in the first place is that I would like to be able to watch a movie "stand-alone" (like on an airplane) on my iPad without having an internet connection.  If VUDU is strickly a streaming service that wouldn't satisfy my needs after all.  After looking into the iTunes store offerings, I can see that I can either purchase a movie or rent one from them.  Either way, as I understand it, the content would then reside in a file in the iTunes folder in my computer (if rented, this would just be temporarily) and could be viewed on my computer and/or transferred to my iPad for viewing.  Considering the legal question, isn't there a copy being made and transferred into my possession.  So,what's up with that?
    Yes Vudu streams. iTunes does not. If you buy or rent a movie on your computer through the iTunes store, then you are legally entitled to transfer that movie to your digital device as long as that device is under the Same Apple ID used to download it to the computer, and is authorized to view the content. Usually this is the case if your device is synced with iTunes on the computer  This is legal and covered by the terms of use of the iTunes store.   
    If your rent a movie on your computer you can also transfer it to your iPad but it will be removed from the computer as rentals can only exist in one place at a time. When the rental period expires the movie will be automatically removed from your computer or device, wherever it is when the rental period expires.
    If you buy a movie on your iPad these can be transferred to your computer using the Transfer Purchases button on iTunes on your computer while the iPad is connected to it.   Rentals on iPads or other mobile device cannot be transferred and must be watched in the iPad or device that download them.
    All of these methods through the iTunes store download the complete movie to the device or computer, so no internet connection is required for watching at a later date.
    Rentals have a 30 day life as long as they haven't begun to be watched.  Once the movie has been started then it has a 48 hour expiry period. That is you must finish watching the rented movei within 48 hours of rental as after that it is removed from the device.  You can watch it as many times as you want in that period of time though.

    Purchased movies are yours, and never expire. If you delete the movie from your device or computer it can be re-downloaded at no extra cost provided the Movie is still available in the store.

  • Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

    The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave  projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

    It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

  • Is there any plan to make Power View (charts and report) more customizable?

    Hi,
    I just was playing with Power tool chain in Excel and office 365, this a nice product well down.
    I have a question about the whole idea, is there any plan to make charts more customizable for example user will be able to show the current filter value in the chart or view title (is good while  drill downing) or some simple stuff like showing the
    pie value not in tool bar but indicators in the chart itself  or changing the type of chart while drilling down (start with a column chart then drill to a pie chart) or...
    Or more generally some programming framework to customize Power View , for example some programming framework (writing add-in for an add-in :-))?!!
    thx

    Hi,
    -Yes simply the option to add the drill filters' value on the chart title (not just in the filter panel).
    - Yes, exactly. Showing labels On Pie Charts,
    Also about changing chart's type, I meant somehow be able to change the chart while drill downing (when you go down you can preset chart type for next level) 
     - The ability of connecting views to each-other (something like linking views and sending filters or other expressions/parameters from one view to the second view
    based on users actions like drill downing)
    - Also more generally about API/framework (and quite hard to achieve maybe),  the possibility to add some dynamic functionality like changing the color, show some dialog/ change the view navigation based
    on the user interactions or add custom themes (maybe CSS) (UI
    customization ) , the ability to call other data sources and change  the report dynamically
    Generally be able to add custom codes in the javascript/Html5 result report ( some )
    Also ability to add custom controls
    in designer part (and adding its client side behavior too  ) something like Custom Report Item (CRI) in Reporting Service.

    are there any plans for apple tv to be true hd 1080 rather then "just" 720. 

    I agree, but there should not be any disagreement for a standard that has been defined, and I think the OP doesn't understand the standard. So I was just trying to help.

        lovethoseleaves,
    Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

  • HT1349 when you rent a movie through apple tv should i be able to get it on my mac and iPad to through itunes

    when you rent a movie through apple tv should i be able to get it on my mac and iPad2 through itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, if you rent a movie on anything other than your computer it can only be watched on that device. If you want to watch it on multiple devices, rent it on the computer then it can be transferred between devices, but can't be moved to more than one device at a time.

  • Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

    I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose.  I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

    For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
    In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
    There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
    I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

  • Why is Flash slow on OS X and are there any plans to fix it?

    Hi,
    The other I was talking with a friend of mine about performance of OS X vs Windows. Looks like while in certain aspects OS X is faster than Windows, in others it is painfully slower. While Safari 4 is 42x faster than IE 7, Flash is incredibly slower on OS X compared to Windows.
    Any ideas why is this the case? Are there any ongoing cooperations between Apple and Adobe to fix this problem?
    Cheers,

  • Are there any more iMacs with optical drives available in Apple stores?

    I want a computer that I can use DVDs with.  I have many and often order them so I will need to have an optical drive.  I don't want something that is not built in.  Are there any new left over inventory available of iMacs that previously had this feature?

    These > Refurbished iMac - Apple Store (U.S.) both have SuperDrives and carry the same warranty as a new iMac.
