Classical: Movements 2, 3, 4 as singles but 1 as "Album Only"

Most of of the EMI classical offerings have some single-track downloads, but in almost every case the single tracks are taken from multi-movement works, and the other tracks are "album only."
For example, Charles Owen and Natalie Clein's "Rachmaninov and Chopin: Cello Sonatas" allows individual downloads of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th movements of the G Major Cello Sonata, Op. 65 but the only way to get the 1st is to download the entire album.
I find this infuriating: it's like having to pay for a "teaser." One of the big advantages of the iTunes store over traditional delivery occurs with the fiftteen-to-thirty-minute musical forms (sonatas, concertos, etc). I often want to buy a single work without having to buy one or two not-that-closely related work.
Obviously EMI can do what it likes... and I believe the "teaser" aspect is unintentional and is probably a result of random selection, not deliberate sneakiness... but it still seems annoying to me.

  • HT201272 how do i access the cloud i have downloaded some tracks on some albums but they dont play so i deleted them  i went to download them again but they are album only tracks so itunes store wont let me how can i get my tracks back? please help

    how do i get tracks back that i deleted that are album only tracks, i downloaded it and it would not play now i cant re download it please help

    About a minute and a half into some tracks it skips to the next. Not on all the tracks but on most of them.
    Try again, just redownloading the tracks which are skipping. (The servers for the Store seem to have been a bit extra-cranky with this over the past day or so in particular ... some folks have had to try redownloading again a couple of times.)

  • Classical movements out of order--new problem

    My classical movements for one composer are out of order, and they are in the same order as when I had the artist box at the top highlighted in iTunes. I might have had it sorted that way accidentally when they were imported to my iPOD. They are resorted correctly now in iTunes but they are still out of order for that composer in the iPOD. I had to manually type in all the info so I know there aren't id3 tags. How can I resort these--delete them on the iPOD and replace them? If so, how do I do that?

    When you imported your CDs their track numbers were recorded and iTunes checked "Part of a compliation" in Get Info. iTunes knows the proper sequence of tracks, you just have to tell iTunes to actually play them that way.
    There are two easy ways to do this. One is to sort the tracks by clicking the "Track Number" column. The other way is to sort by "Genre". Assuming all the tracks have the identical "Genre", iTunes will default to sorting them in order of the track number. They will then play in the order you expect.
    I prefer the second method because it will maintain order spanning multiple CDs.
    If either the Genre or Track Number columns are not visible, use the View menu, select "Show view options..." and check "Track Number" and / or "Genre" as is your preference.

  • Help - Classic/Movie Magic Budgeting problem

    I'll try and make this as short as possible. When we updated my girlfriend's G4 Powerbook to 10.4 a while back Classic stopped working (but she didn't need it at the time so it wasn't an issue.) Then she needed to use Movie Magic Budgeting in Classic so we did an archive and install of OS 10.4 and Classic started working. Then I did something stupid.
    I went and installed Movie Magic Budgeting 5.2. I realized after I installed it that I should have installed Version 5.6, so I did.
    It turns out if you install the newer version over the old one it creates a problem with Movie Magic 5.6 not recognizing 5.6 files, it only recognizes 5.2 files. (You're supposed to uninstall 5.2 then install 5.6, but I did not reaize this.) So I can't open any 5.6 files in 5.6 like I should and when I save a newly created budget the file that appears has the 5.2 icon instead of the 5.6 icon.
    I've tried uninstalling both 5.2 and 5.6 with the uninstall option in each of the installers, but I keep getting a message that said not all files have been deleted. So I've searched and deleted everything I can find, including the preferences.
    I've reinstalled just 5.6, but keep geting the same issue with the files. Also, when I check the prefernces, it seems like even though I've been installing only 5.6, the prefernce icon looks like it is for 5.2.
    So I'm hoping someone here might have an idea as to what I can try.
    Thanks

    I got the same thing and just went to my music (b/c that's the only thing else I had on it) and clicked a button to sync all my music also. That's probably not the approved solution or a pretty way but it worked for me.
    Good luck!

    Repartition and format the drive for a Mac:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

    I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV.  Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library.  When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again.  No, I just want to watch it.

  • I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

    I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

    Did you figure this out?  I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent.  Same fricken thing is happening to me.  I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it?  This just really stinks.

  • HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Hello Amy,
    You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
    From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
    To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
    In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
    In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
    Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
    If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
    Here is the article to help get that setup and going.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

    I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

    I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19134562#19134562
    Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
    This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • I played a rented movie in my newly bought ATV, but when i wanted to watch a TV Series i got the "Authorization is Required" !! although i have successfully played a rented movie at first !! and when checking into iTunes i couldnt find the ATV??

    I played a rented movie in my newly bought ATV, but when i wanted to watch a TV Series i got the "Authorization is Required" !! although i have successfully played a rented movie at first !! and when checking into iTunes i couldnt find the ATV??

    The ATV2 or ATV3 (small black boxes) don't show up as devices in iTunes. If iTunes and the ATV's have Home sharing turned on for the same account - and are on the same network, the ATV should show up as an AirPlay target device in iTunes.
    The rented movie - was this rented on the ATV or in iTunes?
    The TV series - where are you trying to play this from? Is it in iTunes or via the 'TV Shows' menu in ATV... i.e streaming from iCloud?

    I rented a movie on my iPad. It began to download but then it disappeared. I freed up a ton of storage space to make sure I had the room for it. The movie appears in my rented videos, but when I click it, it says, "video rented but not downloaded. Go to downloads to manage downloads". Where did my downloads go? I re-booted my iPad, signed off/on iTunes etc. I can't find a folder with downloadable items anywhere. ITunes just tells me, "you've already rented this video. Do you want to rent it again?" What happened to my movie?

    Did you check the Videos app?
