Confusion with purchased TV downloaded to ATV and PC

Hi -
I have an ATV G1 through which I've purchased a few TV shows in HD and downloaded them directly to my ATV.
Now, iTunes on my PC keeps trying to download the same shows (not in HD!)
to my PC.
I don't want the shows automatically downloaded to my PC (I can transfer them from my ATV if I want them).
So, I have TWO questions:
1) How can I stop iTunes from automatically downloading these shows when I purchase through my ATV?
2) Why are they downloading in SD, not HD?
(INFO: ATV G1, iTunes 10.1, Win XP Pro)
THANKS!

Winston,
Thanks for your input. In response to your questions:
"Not sure why the movie won't sync back to the tv at this stage, could well be an authorisation issue. Have you actually altered your sync options to include this movie."
Yes, I have used the custom sync option and checked the movie as one I want synced. Still no luck.
"You don't have to do any further setting up of your tv or itunes to enable streaming if you are already syncing. Anything that is not synced will automatically be streamed to the tv,."
But if it isn't showing up in ATV, how does that happen?
"All content for syncing and streaming must be checked along side its name in the library on itunes. Additionally any content you want to sync must be selected in the sync options."
Yes, I believe I have done that by selecting the movie under the custom sync option. Before that, I used the automatic sync option. Doesn't matter which way I sync. Same result.
"If you try to set up streaming as you are doing, you may well end up turning syncing off."
Yes, I figured that out the hard way by erasing everything I synced. I had to do another sync but still the movie I purchased didn't sync the second time I tried.

Yes by going to settings for itunes store - you may need to restart the device and check for rentals.

Several purchases not downloading to iPhone and ipad

Several purchases not downloading to iPhone and ipad - just get an "unable to download message" also can't access previous purchased audiobooks in the purchased section, it ask's me to purchase again?

Hi ...
Try resetting the devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, test on one of the devices.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If helped on one device, do the same for the other.

Error (-50) when downloading from ATV and Trailers don't work - Invalid Fmt

My Apple TV syncs with an HP running Vista over an 802.11g network. I have a Watchguard Edge firewall. I can download updates and view YouTube without a problem. I have no problem downloading or renting movies on my PC.
The Apple TV will not download rentals. It fails in a very short time with Error (-50). It will not show any trailers displaying an invalid format error. Any idea what the problem may be?

iTunes Store: Error (-50) when downloading purchased videos
Last Modified on: April 24, 2007
Article: 303887
Symptom
The following alerts may appear when trying to download purchased videos from the iTunes Store:
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased video content from the iTunes Store.
Products affected
iTunes Store
iTunes for Windows
iTunes for Mac OS X
Purchased video content
Solution
Deleting the cached video files of the download, and starting the download again from the beginning, often will resolve this issue.
To find the cached video downloads:
Navigate to the downloads folder on your system. This folder can be found in the following locations:
Mac:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Windows XP and 2000:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Locate the folder that contains the cached video file for this purchase.
In Windows Vista, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .tmp.
Example: The Dundies.tmp
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .m4v.tmp.
Example: The Dundies.m4v.tmp
Move the .tmp folder for the affected purchased video to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Check for Purchases.
Enter your account name and password and click the Check button.

Want to purchase song downloads in bulk and give them away as incentives.

I am looking to buy a bulk amount (200) of song downloads to be used as incentives for individuals participating in an online survey. I would like to be able to purchase them all at once and send them out individually as people complete the survey. Does anyone have any experience with this or know if there is a iTunes sales department I can contact? Thanks

You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

Why did an iBook purchase only download one chapter and how do I get the rest of the book?

Why did an iBook purchase only download the first chapter?What can I do about this?

is it possible you only downloaded the sample? the cover image for the book will have the word Sample in a red banner across one of the corners.
if you actually purchased the book and only received one chapter, then there should be a link in the email that iTunes sent you to dispute the purchase.

Problem with purchased music download

I have a problem that has only just manifested itself.
When I purchased a track yesterday the following error message appeared.
Unable to check for purchases. An unknown error occurred (5002)
Can any one please assist.
Thanks
Mesh Computer/ ipod 80 gig video Windows XP

Error 5002 is a timeout error.
- You may be trying to download at high traffic hours and your connection speed cannot handle it. (make sure you are using broadband)
- Your computer's firewall or antivirus software may be interfering with the connection. If you have just recently installed upgardes to the iTunes software or your computer's security software, you may need to reconfigure it to allow access to the iTunes appliction. If configuring does not work, you will need to disable the firewall completely and then attempt to resume the download.
Hope this helps!

Confusion with OCFS2 File system for OCR and Voting disk RHEL 5, Oracle11g,

Dear all,
I am in the process of installing Oracle 11g 3 Node RAC database
The environment on which i have to do this implementation is as follows:
Oracle 11g.
Red Hat Linux 5 x86
Oracle Clusterware
ASM
EMC Storage
250 Gb of Storage drive.
SAN
As of now i am in the process of installing Oracle Clusterware on the 3 nodes.
I have performed these tasks for the cluster installs.
1. Configure Kernel Parameters
2. Configure User Limits
3. Modify the /etc/pam.d/login file
4. Configure Operating System Users and Groups for Oracle Clusterware
5. Configure Oracle Clusterware Owner Environment
6. Install CVUQDISK rpm package
7. Configure the Hosts file
8. Verify the Network Setup
9. Configure the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
9. Enable the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
10. Install Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
11.Verify the Installation of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
12. Configure the OCFS2 (/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf)
13. Configure the O2CB Cluster Stack for OCFS2
BUT, here after i am a little bit confused on how to proceed further. The next step is to Format the disk and mount the OCFS2, Create Software Directories... so and so forth.
I asked my system admin to provide me two partitions so that i could format them with OCFS2 file system.
He wrote back to me saying.
*"Is what you want before I do it??*
*/dev/emcpowera1 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
*/dev/emcpowera2 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
*Are those big enough for you? If not, I can re-size and re-format them*
*before I mount them on the servers.*
*the SAN is shared storage. /dev/emcpowera is one of three LUNs on*
*the shared storage, and it's 214GB. Right now there are only two*
*partitions on it- the ones I listed below. I can repartition the LUN any*
*way you want it.*
*Where do you want these mounted at:*
*/dev/emcpowera1*
*/dev/emcpowera2*
*I was thinking if this mounting techique would work like so:*
*emcpowera1: /u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
*emcpowera2: /u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
*Let me know how you'd like them mounted."*
Please recommend me what i should convey to him so that i can ask him to the exact same thing.
My second question is, as we are using ASM, for which i am gonna configure ASM after clusterware installation, should i install Openfiler??
Pls refer the enviroment information i provided above and make recommendations.
As of now i am using Jeffery Hunters guide to install the entire setup. You think the entire install guide goes well with my enviroment??

Kind regards

Thanks for ur reply Mufalani,
You have managed to solve half part of my query. But still i am stuck with what kind of mount point i should ask the system admin to create for OCR and Voting disk. Should i go with the mount point he is mentioning??
Let me put forth few more questions here.
1. Is 280 MB ok for OCR and voting disks respectively??
2. Should i ask the system admin to create 4 voting disk mount points and two for ocr??
3. As mentioned by the system admin.
*/u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
*/u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
Is this ok for creating the ocr and voting disks?
4. Can i use OCFS2 file system for formating the disk instead of using them as RAW device!!?
5. As u mentioned that Openfiler is not needed for Configuring ASM... Could you provide me the links which will guide me to create partition disks, voting disks and ocr disks!! I could not locate them on the doc or else were. I did find a couple of them, but was unable to identify a suitable one for my envoirement.
Regards

Confused with datafile status in v$datafile and v$recovery_file

Hi All,
Am facing great confused problem in prod database, accidently i created datafile so i tried to drop it by using "alter database datafile' ' offline drop"
But its showing recovery status in v$datafile and offline status in v$recovery_file.
Please inform how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Yasser.(Oracle DBA)

You add datafiles to a Tablespace and when you remove a datafile from the database you have to drop the associated tablespace that the file had belonged to.
Exactly what actions did you take in what order to create and eliminate this datafile to and from the database?
What is the Oracle version?
What are the results of the following queries?
select ts#, file#, rfile#, status, enabled from v$datafile
where name = 'x'
select "ONLINE", online_status, error
from v$recover_file where file# = n

Confused with HD-SD

Hi,
All the sudden I am confused with my searches on this forum and would appreciate clarification
I am presently working on a HD project (from HD clips and HD stills).
If I want to get the best out of it, should I use only BluRay burning or would it be OK to use HD setting and burning with DVDSP on a "regular" DL disk (the compressed project will be over 7 GB ?
Should I understand that if I use HD setting with DLdisks only a HD compatible DVD player will be requested ?
will a Bluray player play the HD-DL fine ? or will a bluray disk be requested on bluray player ?
As you can see I just got really confused ...
Thanks in advance
Ivan

No doubt this stuff can be confusing. Hopefully I'll be able to clear a few things up.
You shot and edit an HD project in HD. Now you would like to create a DVD correct?
You have 2 options for DVD
1. Standard Definition DVD authored in DVDSP.
2. Blu-Ray DVD. You'll have to purchase a burner.
If you are on the newest FCS then you can author and burn a Blu-Ray DVD inside of Compressor. If you are on the previous version then you need another application to author and burn Blu-Ray like Toast or Adobe Encore.
You made mention of HD-DVD. That format is dead and won't play on anything other than your Mac or a couple specific HD-DVD players that haven't been in production for years. If you look in the DVDSP preferences you can choose which kind of DVD to burn SD-DVD or HD-DVD. Choose SD whenever you are using DVDSP.
Blu-Ray players play Blu-Ray DVD's and SD DVD's. It will not play HD-DVD.
How long is your project if the compressed (m2v) files are coming in at over 7GB?

Problems with my router cisco linksys wrt110 and my android cellphone and android table

i updated my router from 1.0 to 1.07 and one week later my phone and my tablet both with android 2.3(phone) 4.0(tablet) connect to the router wireless but don't navigate internet, they connect to google.com sometimes and if i do a search it bring it but if i try to open any of the search it doesn't open. and they connect to google play but doesn't download any app. if i open any app that needs to connect to internet it doesn't connect either. My wife has a blackberry phone and she doesn't have problem with internet connecting to the wifi router, i have a pc with windows 7 and connect wireless too and either connect to internet without problems. It's only happen with android. i download terminal app and i ping different web pages and respond by name and by ip but when i go to internet app and try to connect it doesn't bring the page. i don't have firewall and the firewall of the router i disble it but the problem persist.
i factory reset the router and my phone but problem persist. i set static ip and nothing. my cellphone and tablet connect to internet fine in others wifi routers. What else can i do? should i downgraded the firmware to the router? if it is so where can i download a previous version of the firmware and what are the steps to install it?

If the other wireless devices are working fine connected to the router, then it might be that the Android phones and tablet needed to be configured properly. Had you tried to use another web browser on the problem phone and tablet to further isolate the issue? Had you tried to connect the phone and tablet to other wireless network and check if you still have the same issue? Please try to make sure that you are connected to the router’s main wireless network. And please try to delete preferred wireless networks, including your wireless network, on the phone and then try to reconnect.

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my email. I can't seem to purchase this on-line

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

I am so confused. I just downloaded Itunes. I set up an Apple ID with a password. Now I want to purchase a song. I can't do it. I keep getting the message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store. What am I doing wrong?

You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.
