Are there other options for renting and downloading movies?
I have watched movies downloaded from Apple a couple of time, but I really don't like the iTunes interface - my main complaint is that there is no way to filter movies so that I can quickly scan for rentals.
I rarely watch any movie more than one time, so I have no interest in buying a movie - I only want to rent, and it is a huge waste of time to hunt through iTunes movies one by one to see if I can rent it or not. It just not worth my time.
I don't know if Apple plans to fix this shortcoming or not, but until then, are there other options for downloading rental movies to watch on my MacBook Pro or my iPad? Online streaming is fine, and I use Netflix and others for that, but I would like to get movies to watch on airplanes and other places where I don't have an internet connection.
Thanks
Try NFS. SMB is for connecting to Windows servers.

IOS 8 upgrade caused me to lose the games I paid for; apple says I hafta restore, which means losing a week of work; are there other options. the game app hooked on words will not respond to several emails
Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true. -
With apps, if I install an app on my iPhone that is also for iPad, it will go on my ipad, but if I delete the app on my iPhone it will not be deleted on my ipad. With photos, I have pictures on my ipad that are not on my iPhone and vice versa. With contacts, on my iPhone, everyone has their own ringtone, but on my ipad they're set to default. As I set up top, I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)? I just want a second opinion.
Thank you to all who answer.Currently, all opinions are set to ON in iCloud on both devices. On the iPhone, apps is set to ON, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF. On the IPad, apps, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF.

Twice now rented and downloaded movies from iTunes Store to view on flight. Both times it told me that it could not load. Yet worked okay once I was at destination. Any ideas?
ThanksThis is in the iPad's Videos app ? If you turn Settings > Airplane Mode 'on' are you able to watch them in the Videos app now ?

Are there any alternatives for mseg and mkpf
I had to display from table S032...following fields.
S032-LETZTABG --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) goods issue
S032-LETZTVER --> Date: last (i.e. most recent) consumption
However the data was not properly filled in s032 table. So I went for mseg and mkpf table to get budat based on moment types.
SELECT MSEG~MATNR
MSEG~WERKS
MSEG~LGORT
MSEG~BWART
MKPF~BUDAT
INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
ON
MKPFMBLNR = MSEGMBLNR AND
MKPFMJAHR = MSEGMJAHR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
WHERE MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.
Are there any other alternative table for mseg and mkpf...
Because my above coding ( which includes above SELECT of mseg and mkpf )got performance issue...
Could you please suggest me anyu other alternative for mseg and mkpf ...Try to include the BUDAT in the selection of the MKPF.. if you don't have any restriction in MKPF than just pass an empty range.
RANGES: S_BUDAT FOR MKPF-BUDAT.
SELECT
MKPF~BUDAT "<<<
MSEG~MATNR
MSEG~WERKS
MSEG~LGORT
MSEG~BWART
INTO TABLE IT_MSEG
FROM MKPF AS MKPF INNER JOIN MSEG AS MSEG
ON
MKPF~MBLNR = MSEG~MBLNR AND
MKPF~MJAHR = MSEG~MJAHR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_OUT_TMP
WHERE
MKPF~BUDAT IN S_BUDAT " <<<
MSEG~MATNR EQ T_OUT_TMP-MATNR
AND MSEG~WERKS EQ T_OUT_TMP-WERKS.

Are there any options for a company to host Buzzword internally?
My company currently produces documents using an HTML based editor (around a million docs a year/1500 employees). For a new project, we'd like a document solution that avoids some of the limitations we're currently dealing with. For example, we rely on IE custom print templates for printing headers/footers/boilerplate material. This is functional, but not ideal, and precludes full functionality in other browsers.
I like the Buzzword tech - with some tweaking I think it would meet our needs. However, with the nature of our business we'd need to store the documents locally and be able to control access, document creation and editing, etc.. on more of our own terms and in a strongly branded, tightly controlled environment.
Have you done arrangements like this before? Is there someone I can talk to in terms of pricing, etc..? Obviously I haven't done a ton of research at this point, but I figure someone here can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
[email protected]Hello,
Thank you for your post. Although this has come up before, we don't have any options to license Buzzword for in-house use. I would suggest posting this request to our Ideas site - http://ideas.acrobat.com. If it gets a lot of traction, it's something the product team would take a closer look at.
Kind Regards,

Disk Utility Not Repair Permissions on OS 10.4- Are there other options?
How can I repair repair HD permissions when disk utility does not work? I have a powerpc g4 that I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged and as a result something affected my boot on my main drive. I removed the 2nd hard drive, reset pram, nvram, and would not boot. Tried the usual reset commands and no boot up. (gets to the gray block screen instructing to restart and stops). Restarted trying to get to safe mode by holding down "shift" key but only gets to blue screen and goes no further with spinning circle looking for something. Used my os x install disk and tried disk utility and s.m.a.r.t indicated was ok and ran repair disk and passed with no problems with the file structure. Then ran disk permissions and disk utility would not run or would not complete. I left the computer on overnight to see if it would repair the permissions. Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option and restarted and the computer booted up. The desktop came up looking like the old one but most items would not work properly and very slow or would close automaticly. Looked in system information and found spaces between items. I closed the computer down by restart again to see if it would correct the problem but went back to gray screen instructing a reboot. Reboots brought me back to the same gray screen. Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced? Where do I go from here....thanks
I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged
What makes you think this? It's not very often that a new hard drive is defective out of the box. More likely is that it was connected improperly. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence.
Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option
What? No such thing. Do you mean Archive & Install?
Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced?
If Disk Utility says the drive is good, then we have to assume that's true. It appears that you've somehow corrupted your entire OS X installation, so whether or not you have a backup from before this happened, your best option now is to completely erase that hard drive and reinstall OS X from scratch, along with all the Software Updates to bring it to 10.4.11, as well as your third-party applications.
Then, if that doesn't work, that may be an indication of a drive problem, or even a system hardware problem.
To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, you need to invest in at least one external backup drive to use for a bootable backup of your entire hard disk, and keep it updated every day before you shut down your Mac. You can use SuperDuper ($27.95) or Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware) for those. -
System restore needed or are there other options
This problem has been ongoing but now I'm ready to do something about it! I accidentally changed (I think!) my powerbook's name so while I can see files from my windows machine on my mac, when in explorer, Windows says the path is invalid on my machine. In other words, it sees the mac, but cant access the files (file sharing is on). Is there a way to repair the path or is it best to just bite the bullet and reinstall the system? If so, what is the easiest way to back up my files, especially music and pictures? Thanks!
12 Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.7)I don't know the answer, but I would like to think that someone has a simple answer for you. I suggest that you also post this problem in the Networking and Web forum.
Even if your problem has a simple solution, this is a good time to consider a backup strategy for your computer. You could buy something like a 200 GB firewire external hard drive. You could format it with at least two partitions, one big enough to hold a bootable version of your operating system and the other a large partition where you could store all of your music and other important files.
Some sources of info on backup strategies would be:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
and type "best way to back up your mac" in the search box at the top right of this screen. You will get lots of hits with good info.

Are there other widgets for iWeb (iLife 09)?
Specifically, I could really use a weather lone, like the dashboard offering. I could also use a rotating photo gallery widget for starters. I'd also like a calendar one that offers something like the "Upcoming events" calendar on this page:
http://www.dusc.ca/default.asp?mn=1.8.112
Thanks!
SBNot pre-configured widgets but with the right code you can use an HTML snippet to add nearly anything you want. For instance you can go to Google, create your own calendar and with iFrame code and an snippet you can embed and resize that Google calendar like seen here: Google calendar.

I just bought an ipad mini 2. However, could not find photo stream under photos. Why?
Hi there, thanks for the answers. I think I didn't explain it clearly. I have enable photo stream, however I couldnt see my photo stream album in the Photo app. When I take photos from my iPad mini, it synced to my photo scream on my iPhone so i assume I am using the same iCloud account. But this photo stream album does not appear on my iPad mini.

I have 10.6 8 Snow Leopard and trying to download yosemite by it keeps failing. Are there other operating systems in between that need to be installed first?
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store. -

No.

I have just created an Apple Id for itunes, it is allowing me to get to the debit card stage but they no longer accept Visa Debit, there is no other option for me as i dont have any other cards and there isnt a 'none' option! HELP!!
How did you create the account ? Unless you followed the instructions on the page that you post from exactly then you won't get the 'none' option and you will need to enter payment details - those instructions won't work on existing accounts.
I tried those instructions a week ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on it e.g. on my computer's iTunes I logged out of my existing account, found a free app in the store, clicked on its 'free' price, clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup, and after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as my payment option and download a free app with it. -
The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts. I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone. I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help. Any ideas?
Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting. You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this. You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.
