Can not download HD movie
When I attempt to download 'Life of Pi' in HD for 14.99 (using iTunes 11.0.2) it will not works as I get the following error:
"If you buy the HD verision, you have to transfer it to an HD-Compatible device in order to watch it. Or you can buy the SD version and watch it on this computer".
So I look at the support page at system requirements to which my machine exceeds all specs.
Windows system requirements for HD 1080p1 content:
32 or 64-bit version of Windows 7; Windows XP and Vista do not support HDCP
iTunes 10.6 or later
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
At least 2 GB of RAM
A video driver that supports HDCP, such as an Intel GMA X4500HD, ATI Radeon HD 2400, Nvidia GeForce 8300 GS, or better (you may need to check with the manufacturer to determine if your video driver supports HDCP)
A display that supports HDCP with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 or higher with a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI)
If your computer does not meet all of the above requirements, you will be unable to view HD 1080p content from the iTunes Store.
My machine: exceeds all of the above requiresment I even verified my graphics card capablites:
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 -- http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660/specifications --
Display Support:

2048x1536Maximum VGA Resolution

YesHDMI4
One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One HDMI, One DisplayPortStandard Display Connectors
InternalAudio Input for HDMI
So it is unclear to me why or how apple has been able to make the assessment that my machine is unable to run this movie from an HD download.
Please advise.
Tried twice to purchase HD movie rental and was only allowed SD. It makes no **** sense at all. Not to mention the new version of iTunes is really poorly designed hence the issues like this as well as others.
Apple is definitely not paying attention nor are they properly testing for these changes. They have become too clever for their own good. I don't mind change but test it first. This is not MS and these are not beta versions.
The list of these issues seem to be mounting. I am really getting over all of these perpetuating issues with Apple.
I still have no understanding or reason as to why I cannot purchase a HD movie rental on my 2012 Mac mini.

I purchased the movie Veronica Mars. It shows in my purchases but it does not show in my library. When I check for downloads available it says that I have downloaded all purchases in my account but this one is not there. So frustrated with this whole system.
Does it show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for downloading ?

I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
My Problem:
I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
and get the following message "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
Any answers???
Location Melbourne Australia.This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2 -
I've rented several movies over AppleTV, but can not download. I get a message "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. " i've been trying for 3 days now... anyone with similar problem?
I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart. When it restarts the movie should play. You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI. I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical. Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark. I need to email these photos out. HELP! Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.
This:
if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.
is why you can't do this:
I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
What version of iPhoto? -

I Can not download the new movie and new videos I bought
Sorry to hear that.
Do you have a question?

my ipad has 4gb availble but still can not download 1.8gb movie what do i have to do?
The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.

I have rented a movie on iTunes and it says I'm running out of time to watch but it is not downloading the movie can someone help
It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

How can I download a movie to my ipad if it's not purchased from itunes?
How can i download a movie to my ipad if I don't purchase it from itunes? basically, I want to buy a movie but need it for multiple venues: ipad, home blu ray, etc. Any suggestions are welcome!
thanks, HYou'll have to use 3rd Party software to convert the movies into an readable format. Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
After that you can add the movie to your iTunes library and sync it to your device.
