Computer will (now) only download HD versions of TV series

Greetings.
We purchased a season pass to a TV series via our MacBook Pro laptop. Was downloading both HD and standard versions (as it should). Mid-season, discovered ability to download series to home computer (an iMac) while my wife was at a conference...downloaded and watched one episode.
Now, as we try to download the series on the laptop, it only allows us to download the HD version. Help! We don't want the HD file sizes taking up so much room, if we can help it at all.
Thank you,
Erin

I purchased the season 4 episodes of Lost directly on my Apple TV and the video quality was quite good. I am not aware of any TV shows currently being offered in HD in the iTunes store, but the Lost episodes I purchased via the ATV were of better quality than the SD stuff I watch on satellite TV.
I think there may be a difference in quality between some TV shows purchased via iTunes for an iPod and those purchased directly via an ATV that are formatted for it specifically. When purchasing directly via ATV, check the format information to see if it's listed as Apple TV Widescreen format.

  • My home computer had a virus and was reset. My photos were loaded from my adobe photoshop software. My computer will now only load from my camera roll and all my other photos are trapped on my 4g touch. Can anybody help?

    When I plug in my ipod I can only get pics from my camera roll. Its like the other pics are not even there. I am afraid if I sync it to my computer I will erase all these picture. There are over 2500 pics of my family and kids. I loaded them from my Adobe photoshop 5 software.

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

    I have multiple Windows Server 2008 R2 machines in which I am attempting to do an in place upgrade to 2012 R2, and it is repeatedly failing.

    I have found several posts, many discussing how disk space can be an issue, I have increased disk space so it shouldn't be an issue.  I have also made sure the only only partition on disk 0 is C: and system reserved.
    I have disabled all unessential services and went through and removed all unessential applications, and extras.  Still getting the error.

    Any ideas on how I can resolve this, or further troubleshoot?

    I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
    trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
    The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:
    http://jacobackerman.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-remove-system-reserved-partition.html
    The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2.
    Hope that helps!.

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

  • Can't open Numbers on computer, it says to download new version but new version is already installed

    I cant open Numbers in my computer, it says to download new version in app store. i have done that but it still continues to give me that message.

    Are you launching Numbers from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Numbers from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

    If there is no billing issue,
    Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
    If you use Photoshop at all, you may need to install the latest update to resolve this issue. See this blog post for more information:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updat es-now-available.html
    If you do not have Photoshop, then try the solution that others have mentioned previously:
    Open the Adobe Application Manager (AAM).
    If applicable, let AAM complete any automatic updates and restart itself.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID. (Optionally, you can close AAM at this point.)
    Open a CS6 application (e.g. InDesign CC).
    If prompted (e.g. you get the trial screen), click "License This Software" and sign in with your Adobe ID.

    Since installing Ios7   280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

  • My order is still pending, and I can only download trial versions. Help?

    Ordered 4 days ago, and is still showing as pending.
    I have not received any serial number for this license.
    Can only download trial versions of apps.
    Help!

    Hi JohnxxiiiCollege,
    If you have purchased directly from Adobe (online/over the phone), please provide the order number & you can also confirm from your bank if the transaction has been completed or not.
    Please mention the product name if purchased from any other sources.Then the serial number issue can be resolved.
    As you have mentioned that " Can only download trial versions of apps", I assume it is  the trial of Creative cloud, if that is the case then serial number is not required.
    Since you have the trial downlaod available so it might be that the creative cloud subscription is not yet active(if it is creative cloud subscription).
    You can privately message me the details also.
    Regards

  • After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED. Other docs ok.

    After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED.   In printing another document, no problem.
    I tried highlighting the text and changing the font color to black - no luck.

    Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? 
    Most likely whatever program you are using to print the forms is treating the text as a grapphic and the printer is making black by mixing cyan, magenta and yellow.  If your text is priting as red it would indicate that you are likely low on cyan ink.

  • When I recently updated FireFox, the DownloadHelper add-on was lost, and will now not download, though I have tried about 5 times??

    When I recently updated to the newer version of FireFox, (version 3.6.13) the DownloadHelper add-on was lost, and it will now not re-install, though I have tried about 5 times?? When I clicked the icon to download the add-on the download progress bar indicated that the download was underway however, when it had completed, the add-on appeared not to have downloaded - including no icon - not even if I search for one. When I tried to download the same add-on again, the download window indicated the download in a faded color and it seemed to be indicating that I already had the add-on. Try as I might, I can't get it to work. DownloadHelper always worked with no trouble on the previous version of FireFox. Are you able to help? Many thanks for this service!

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (Firefox 4: click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar) to do a compatibility check.
    You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
