Choosing language for movie in iTunes?

Hello,
I ripped a movie, from an original DVD I own, with two language tracks : English & French.
When I play the movie with VLC, I can switch to english/french without problem.
However, in iTunes, the French track is greyed out when I try to change the language.
It seems I can't listen to the french track in iTunes...
What's wrong??
Thanks a lot...

Hi there,
I'm new to the part of buying movies in iTunes store and got some questions about it. I live in Cologne, Germany. iTunes settings are set to English (US).
I found myself in the US Store but after all I can't buy items there, which is pretty annoying anyway and got forwarded to the German store, which is missing .. lots of content (e.g. Echelon Conspiracy).
go to the iTunes store. click on "TV Sendungen" (tv shows), and find the entry +exclusive: unaired TV shows in english+ in the upper right corner.

Purchasing additional languages for movies on Apple TV

Hello,
We are a multilingual family, and are trying to promote the use of all our languages to our kids, French, Italian and English. We use the Apple Tv extensively, and I was wondering if there is an option to purchase aditional languages for movies on the Apple TV.
for example we purchase kids movies on the French itunes store and it includes both french and english languages, but not italian. However that same movies is available on the italian itunes store in italian. However since I have already purchased the movies i don't want to buy them all again on the italian itunes store. That would cost too much, but also we would have duplicates of our movies and in seperate itunes store accounts just to be able to watch them in different languages. This would be very inconvenient. In other cases, some movies on the french itunes store only have french as the language, however the english and italian languages are again available in the english and italian itunes store respectively.
The world is becoming ever more international and multilingual, and access to languages should not be so complicated. In fact Apple has always been a pioneer in offering all languages on their Mac OS and iOS, embracing the multilingual spirit.
IT would be extremely useful, if we could add aditional languages to an already purchased movie.
thank you for your help, if you have a solution to my problem.

To have Apple see your request, you should repost it at

In the meantime, you might want to see whether other stores offer movies with more languages included.

Is there a way to search for movies on iTunes that have subtitles?

Is there a way to search for movies on iTunes that have subtitles?
I know if you look at any individual movie, it will say CC and below that, it will tell you if closed captioning is available in English or another language. I'm just wondering if there is some way to search for all the movies that have this available since many of them don't.

The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.

Choosing the right language for movies downloadable on the iTunes Store

Hello,
I just wanted to point out, that last night, I almost bought a movie in the non-original version through my iPhone/iPad and Apple TV, and this would have been a first (mistake). I have now noticed at work on iTunes that it does say what language the movie is in - I've also noticed some are multilingual, and some are just synchronized, and the language of the synopsis is not necessarily in the language of the actual movie, although I couldn't find my example from last night (?).
My suggestion would be to either introduce a preferred language option, or to clearly distinguish the languages in which a movie is available, to make sure appointments are avoided!
Thank you!

Additional languages for movies?

Hi There;
So when I buy a movie like "Brave" and download my digital copy, why do I not get all the language options it says are there on the iTunes store?
Why does the digital copy not come with all the languages which the DVD and BluRay came with, and that the box claimed on it's label?
If I were to download another copy from the iTunes store would I get all the languages then?
It would be nice if there were a way for me to download additional languages for a small fee.
Have I missed something, or am I correct that I need to download the full movie again from iTunes for full price to get additional languages?

Can I create folders for movies in iTunes like playlists for music

I have a lot of TV series that I have ripped into ipad compatible format. I want to be able to put them into a folder like a playlist for movies so I don't have to scroll forever to find them. If I need to use genre how do I tag the movies so they get sorted?

Use MetaZ to tag the files as TV Shows and the correct series and all other info.

Closed Captioning for Movies in Itunes

Hello,
I was testing a movie in iTunes and wasn't able to get closed captioning. Is there a way that I could do this? Not only that, it mentioned that the movies can be watched in other formats. How do I accomplish this because Quicktime supports closed captioning feature..
Many thanks!
MNS

Thanks Although, how do I know which movie is closed captioned? I couldn't find the CC symbol on them...perhaps there are not many movies out there are closed captioned on the internet yet...

HT3069 How to change the language for movies rented at German iTunes, watching in Denmark?

I live in Denmark, but my iTunes account is in Germany. Furthermore I want to watch movies in English. Can I buy / rent movie from German iTunes and somehow change the language to english or other? I prefer to watch movies in an original language..
Thanks for help!

I know this is almost a year old, but I'd like to know the same thing. It seems the answer is that we can't do anything, but I'd rather ask.
I'm from Brazil, living in France for my studies. I wanted to buy a movie, but it's only in french and I prefer the original language, in this case, english. Is it possible to buy a different version, or does the country you're in dictate that?
Thanks for your time.

Different languages for movies?

Hi to everybody. I have ripped some movies with 2 audio tracks in different languages. There is any way in front row to choose which language you want to hear? Or do I have to encode the movie 2 times in different languages?
Thanks for help

Is the option to select the language not in the DVD's menu? Or is the video not from a DVD? Since Front Row doesn't really have any controls, you can't make a choice without a DVD menu.

Limit for movies in iTunes

I have a lot of movies that I have been ripping, tagging and hereafter imported to iTunes, so that my kids can see all our movies from their iPad and AppleTV. We are talking about 1500 movies that has been converted and imported into iTunes, but recently my kids asked me about a specific movie that no longer existed in iTunes, even though I remember about importing it.
After searching through iTunes I found out that even though I have converted about 1500 movies and imported them to iTunes, it only said there was 814 movies in the library.. I looked back in the movie folder, and found all 1500 movies listed, so I tried to just importing some of them again. After importing about 20 movies I realized that iTunes still said there only was 814 movies in the library so somehow the iTunes application deletes older movies when new movies are added.
I don't know if anybody else have experienced something similar. If it has any meaning I am currently using the newest version of iTunes 11.0.4.. I find it a bit annoying since I can easily have about 30.000 music files stored..
And just in case some AppleTV designers look at this thread: I would like a way to search for a movie title the same way that I can search for a music title, please

I have over 400 movies in my iTunes Movie list. Could it be that you're trying to bring in a file (or format) that isn't acceptable to iTunes? I know that if I try to bring in a file (by drag / drop on my mac) to iTunes that it doesn't like, it doesn't give me a "+" (plus) icon. Whereas if it is a compatible format, it will give the "+" icon, and allow it to be added.
I've never heard of a "max number" of movies, or any other file type allowed in iTunes (unlike hearing about the "max" number of photos in iPhoto).

Language for Switzerland in itunes store in iphone

Hi, I've a swiss itunes account (swiss french) and I've installed the new software into my iphone 4. Now, itunes store and some applications are in german language. How can I change the settings back to english or french language? this is so frustrating...

In iTunes go to the bottom of the iTunes Store main page and look for either the "Change Country" link or the round "flag" icon. Click on either and select your country from the list.
Note that your account must be in the US iTunes Store and you must be physically present in the US to use that store.

Choosing language for Adobe reader

I have indicated my operating system and chosen English as the language. Nevertheless I get French. I live in a French speaking area but, as we know, French is a 19th century language and totally useless today. I need English but the system refuses to give it to me although I have chosen it. What's wrong and why can't I have English? I have been messing around with a reinstallation for 3 days now and I'm mad.

I suggest that you use the cleaner tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I agree that translating computer terms to French, German, and other languages is highly ridiculous...

Choosing language for the OS using CD provided with tangerine ibook

Hello,
I have a french tangerine ibook running in french (macos 8.6) and I would like to know if it is possible to reinstall it in english using the CDs provided with the ibook.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Anthony.

Thank you for your answer (although I was hoping for another one).
I just called the apple store and apple tech support and they both told me that neither mac os 8.6 nor 9.x were sold, and that it was not available for download.
So I have to buy a used english copy of mac os 8.6 or 9.x for my old ibook.
Fortunately, I have an adress in the US where I can have it shipped. So I looked on Ebay to find the CDs, and I can only find macos 8.6 for iMAC, not ibook. The name of the CDs are : "iMac Software Install SSW version 8.6" and "iMac Software Restore SSW version 8.6". Of course the restore CD would be of no use for me, but is the install CD a standard mac os 8.6 that includes all the drivers for my ibook ?
Do I have to specifically look for ibook CDs ?
I'm also considering installing a linux (like yellow dog linux), although I'd rather give the ibook with macos on it as the person I'll give it to is not very "computer litterate"... Could you advise me a light distribution of linux, as user friendly as possible ?
Anthony.

Spinning ball when iTunes changes SOME metadata for movies -- why and can it be fixed?

I'm putting in the metadata, including the artwork, for movies in iTunes and it's driving me nuts becaue the little rainbow ball comes up and stays up the bigger the file. It's not like iTunes is rewriting the movie, is it? I don't understand why it should take 2 - 3 mintues to change the metadata. Is there a way around this?

Yes it can be moved into music videos by right clicking on the music video, selecting get info and clicking on the video tab on the top of the little window that opened up and open up the video kind menu and select music video out of the list.
