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!

Suggestions to Apple will be best submitted through the iTunes feedback page. Your comments will be most likely to get to the proper people within Apple that way.
BTW, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

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. -
I purchased the movie "Black Nativity" at midnight and selected to download later; it shows that the movie has been charged in my account for billing, however; I when I go to download the movie, it ask for it to be purchased versus download. I would like to know if I will be charged again for the movie upon selecting purchase movie? I would like some direction as for how to download the movie that I already purchased.
Clicking on its purchase price again may result in you being charged again. Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option download it
Or does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for downloading -
I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?
When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

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. -
I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.
Did you rent the movie on your iPad? Are you trying to watch it on your iPad?
Do you have WiFi connectivity when trying to start viewing the movie?
You should have answered "yes" to all the above. If not, that is probably the source of your issue. -
RESTORING: At the moment I am downloading a movie on the itunes store my 8GB ipod touch (not my computer) (which I have already paid for) and I need to restore my ipod. Will restoring it stop/delete my downloading movie? what else does it delete?
Try DFU mode and then restore
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is. -
i just downloaded the new update for itunes and the itunes store wont open up it is taking a long time it still hasnt loaded since 5pm, i also cant sighn in either it just keeps on saying accessing itunes....

If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

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?To have Apple see your request, you should repost it at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
In the meantime, you might want to see whether other stores offer movies with more languages included. -
help please...I cant download a movie I purchased
The very first thing that I would try is to restart your iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the slider appears on the screen and slide to the right to power off. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen to resetrt the iPad, after it starts up, try the download again.
Another thing to try is to reboot your router. I realize that your WiFi is working, but sometimes this can kick start problematic downloads. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Try the download again after the router starts up.
Something else to try that involves a few more steps ..... Close the iTunes Store app. Sign out of your Apple ID. Reset the iPad and then try again.
Double tap the home button and swipe up on the iTunes Store thumbnail preview window to close the app. Tap the home button. Go to the home screen. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store> Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign in. Go back to the iTunes Store app and try to resume the download. -
I am based in the UK and have just got a new iphone 6, everything works well except when i try to turn on the itunes store app - i can do a search and buy music etc that way, within the app, however, if i go to Music, Movies or the TV shows section within the Store app, i get a message come up saying "Item Not Available" - This item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store, but it is available in the US store. Tap Change Store to view this item". I therefore cannot browse the music, movies or tv shows sections at all, nothing shows up except that message. All my previous itunes purchases have downloaded ok, and i can access them. My apple ID works fine and restrictions on the iphone are turned OFF. The App Store app works normally. Connection etc is all fine and I can access itunes in the normal way on my ipad and laptop, so this is just an iphone problem. Any ideas? is this a bug? I cant find anyone else with exactly the same problem. By the way, the same message comes up when i click on the red Music icon, on the iphone (situated next to the Safari icon) and then go to the "Store" via that app. my playlists are in tact, but as soon as i click that Store button, I am told that the Item is unavailable - not that i have chosen any Item lol, I just want to access the store in the normal way. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give
It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I am now getting a message saying (my ipad does not support movies I purchased) anyone else experiencing this problem, any suggestions?

It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours. -
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.

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??
I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
