Disney File Digital Copy - Doesn't Work!

This is just to share my frustration with Apple's lousy customer service and this faulty technology so others experiencing the problem don't waste their time troubleshooting a problem on their computer when it's clearly Apple's problem.
I purchased The Nightmare Before Christmas with the Disney File Digital Copy included, just so I could copy the movie to my iPhone. I already owned a copy of this on DVD, this was the only reason why I purchased it.
I placed the CD in my drive, filled out the information it asked for, and it opened iTunes. I was prompted for the code and typed it in, and immediately got "Sorry, the iTunes store is currently unavailable, please try again later".
I tried accessing other parts of the itunes store and everything else worked fine, just not this part. I called Apple customer care and the first person had me copy the movie from the DVD to the desktop and then try changing the extension and importing it. When that didn't work he transfered me to iTunes support. They insisted there was nothing wrong with the itunes store and it had to be my computer or firewall. I bypassed the firewall and connected directly to the cablemodem, still nothing.
They asked me to try another computer so I did. When I tried another computer, instead of the message that I can't connect to the itunes store, I got a message saying the code was already used, which was farther than I got before. At that point I was told the problem is software related on my computer and they gave me a new key to try once I figure out my software problem. I was highly skeptical that this was the cause, but decided to just wipe out my HD and install Windows from scratch and iTunes ONLY. When I attempted to activate the new code, guess what.. the SAME THING! It said the code was activated already! By that time support was closed so I had to call them back the next day.
I call them back, explain the situation, they then tell me to try it again tomorrow. I said "Why? Is there a known issue that will be resolved tomorrow?", their response was "There's no known issue, but you should try it again tomorrow." I responded, "If there isn't a known issue, then why the **** should I wait yet another day just to get the same error again and have to call back and wait another 45 minutes to speak to someone!?"
Their response? "I can't tell you that there's a known issue, all I can say is you can try it again tomorrow"
So clearly.. they're either trying to get people off the phone regardless of whether their issue has been resolved or not, or they know about the issue but in true Apple fashion they won't admit to it. When I complained further, I was told they were going to escalate the issue and I would receive two emails.. one from the person I was speaking with, and one from the person they escalated the issue to. I've yet to receive that 2nd email and I have wasted over 20 hours trying to watch a movie THAT I PAID FOR and can't due to Apple's crappy technology.
Lets see how long this message lasts on Apple's forum before they delete it..
-One ****** off customer.

yup...just bought it....same problem. its amazing b/c i hear the same things about apple and their lack of acknowledging that there is a problem. i think they are told to say that b/c they want people to know how "awesome" their product is and not bad mouth it themselves. granted there are a lot of good things that outweigh the bad. its just that their support ***** bigtime and one hopes that one day they will realize to have better support in the future. i just hope they fix it quickly b/c dumbasses like me love the apple franchise and hopefully one day they will cater to us a little better when the fit hits the shan. either that or i hope one day they reap what they sow. this is ridiculous that it took me like 5 searches to find a decent thread addressing the problem. a better search engine perhaps?
all i know is in the future i hope they adress the problem a little better than this "wait and see" technique. i wanted to get this on the ipod....sigh....FIX UR PROBLEMS APPLE!!!!!! cripes...... F*!!!!

Digital copy doesn't work

I'm trying to load my ipad with some movies with digital copies but it's not working, I'm getting a message "You do not have enough access priveleges for this action".
Once loaded the movie title is in grey text and can't be moved from my library to the ipad.

I'd look on the site for the owner of your digital copies and troubleshoot there. Some of them, for example, are only allowed on one device at a time or one computer at a time. You may be running into digital rights management issues for your copies.

Why is my diabled login greyed out after i unlock it? I have tried to remove the library file but it doesn't work

Why is my diabled login greyed out after i unlock it? I have tried to remove the library file but it doesn't work. It worked the first time and than all of a sudden it was greyed out.

Where do you see a disabled login? In system preferences? In Login screen?

Please note:
If your Mac has OS X Lion, MPEG-2 functionality is built in and the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is unnecessary.

Adobe reader X (10.1.2) Zoom and Copy doesn't work

Hi guys,
I installed Reader X yesterday and now I'm stuck with these 2 problem
I cannot zooming by using ctrl+mouse wheel (up or down), zooming with ctrl+(plus or minus) still work. This feature also work fine on FireFox, Chrome and other programs. In addition, I cannot left click to drag pages down with hand tool.
Another problem is everytime I copy text from a pdf file, there is a message that "There were an error while copying to the Clipboard. An internal error occured".
All above features works fine on Reader 9 and older versions. I'm using Windows 7 Home 64-bit.
Please help

v10.1.3 seems to solve this issue, but...
For me Ctrl+minus doesn't work... it confuses it with Ctrl+6
Maybe because I'm on AZERTY keyboard and - and 6 are on same key

Digital copy code not working

So I recently gave someone The Fault in Our Stars that has the digital copy with it. They asked me to set it up.
So I went to here and typed in my info and the code. Then I clicked iTunes and nothing happened. Clicked it again, and it said that the code was redeemed. Tried calling support, but stupid me didn't realize that almost every business is closed on Christmas Day.
So, how can I redeem it so I get the movie on their iTunes account? They actually specifically asked so they could get the digital copy.
Thanks!

I noticed the same things. Batkinson, I saw that, too, but didn't anticipate a problem when it offered me to download it to Disney and to iTunes, so I did both. Well, I got it on Disney, but it won't show up on iTunes. My Mac Mini doesn't show it as an item I've purchased and when I go to the iTunes store, it still offers to sell it to me. I've rebooted, etc., to no avail.
My iPad, however, didn't show anything for an hour or so, then I went to the iTunes Store and looked a Thor: The Dark World and it switched from the price to purchase to the download icon. So I successfully downloaded it, but it still won't show up on my Mac, which is hooked up to the home theater system / TV. I still don't know what's the problem, but I know I hate Disney's new app.

Reader X - Save a Copy doesn't work on some sites (See Screenshot)

When i open the following site :
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=PublicationURL&_tockey=%23TOC%235581%232011%23999 679996%232749734%23FLA%23&_cdi=5581&_pubType=J&_auth=y&_acct=C000058774&_version=1&_urlVer sion=0&_userid=5718791&md5=244a63d1a757822ce428c0af4f0cc4ae
And click on one of the pdf files it opens and shows the save a copy button when i click on it, it doesn't work, in the old versions of reader all went fine.
But on other websites i can open and save the pdf
When i press Ctrl -Shift - S, the following message appears
Im running Windows Xp sp3.
Anybody an idea
Kind regards

We've had all kinds of issues with this. If your user isn't a LOCAL ADMIN (and they shoudln't be) on the computer and the web browser is Internet Explorer, and the site has protected mode = ON in IE, and you have "display PDF in browser" enabled, you can kiss mouse wheel support, saving PDF's and some other things goodbye. It seems to be a permissions issue when you start to resrtict what the user and user mode applications can do.
If you disable the "display PDF in browser" option it works, but this breaks the DDE scripts on some websites.
If you make the user an ADMIN on the workstation, it works, but that is stupid and we shouldn't have to do that.
If you make the site a trusted site, or disable internet explorer sandboxing by eliminating protected mode support, it works, but again that is stupid - you shoudln't have to trust every site you want to print/save a stupid PDF from. And besides, Adobe even thinks sandboxing is important, they just implemented protected mode support. We shoudln't have to disable it in another product to get this one to work!
Really hoping that someone at Adobe will get a clue and start making something that works with corporate machines that have limited user rights, and UNC path folder redirection and roaming profiles, and print drivers that need to be used to render the document to print correctly and etc...

Help with Disney Parks Digital Copy

I just got The Secrets , Stories, and Magic Behind the Scenes Disney Parks on Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Copy the other day and when I try to get the copy on Itunes a message comes up saying it can't be played on my Ipod Touch and it's the right format, can someone help me ?

After you place it in your iTunes movie library there is a Convert to iPod and iPhone Version option in the Advanced tab of iTunes than may work.

Find files in folder doesn't work

To make my photo galleries, I use CS5, because this is the last version that can use modified galleries that I was able to since CS3. My modified pages have links to other pages on my web site, while the ones that now come with Photoshop are dead end with no links.
So, another feature lost in later Bridges is the ability to show ALL the contents of a folder and its subfolders. To get around this, I choose to show folders whose metadata or filename DO NOT contain zzz, since none do. This has worked fine and I have made hundreds of galleries from my phylogenetic folder trees of species.
     Until I came to this gallery of Tachinidae. I have been updating all my Arthropod species galleries After I did the usual procedure, and created the gallery (and deleted the previous gallery both on my PC and the web), I noticed that the first image was a Belvosia, and there were non of the Archytas or other species that should have come before, alphabetically. I tried again and found that it was ignoring a lot of files in some subfolders that should have come up. I tried other finds, like all files ending in .tif, or all that had the keyword Tachinidae, and always the same result.
     Then I tried the same search in CS6 and it finds all, but of course I can't make my galleries here, I went back to CS5 and made a new folder TACHINIDAE 1 and moved all the files there and tried again, with no success. I tried a backup file with the same result. Rebooting didn't help.
     Today I tried again and as it did the search, I could see it indexing the Archytax subfolder and others that were not included, but now after over 30 minutes, all I have is a spinning circle and no items. I had gone back to other folders that I had made galleries of just before and they pull up all the images, as before, but this has stopped my progress in this project dead in my tracks.
     I can't make any sense of this at all.

Well now it's not working at all. I moved the folder to a higher level of my directory tree, with the same result. then I just tried a subfolder and it quickly found that there were no images, either that didn't have zzz or that ended in .tif.
Than I tried another family folder and it quickly found no images according to the criteria. So now the search function just doesn't work.

Digital copy codes not working

Hi, I'm from the uk and I've got quite a few bluray DVDs with digital copies with them, they have codes but I don't have a computer to put the disks in to then move them to the iTunes is there any way I can just put the films straight to iTunes with just the authorisation codes??? Doesn't seem fair that I've got an iPad because I didn't want a computer but thought I'd be ale to watch my films on the go??? Any help please as rung up customer services and they had no idea what I was talking about
Thanks

May be I should note, that the digital copy, which is part of the Star Trek Blu-Ray, needs to be downloaded via iTunes. On the Blu-Ray it says, the download via iTunes is compatible with the iPod, iPhone and Apple TV.
The regional copy protection is controlled by Apple and nobody else. Paramount explicitly stated to me, that they do not want this regional protection.
Apple advertises this movie as part of their iPad promotion. So why don't they deliver it to a customer, which has already paid for it? I cannot see any reason for this behaviour. Additional this is illegal in the european union. But who forces a lawsuit for a single movie...

Dark Knight Digital Copy doesn't run on iPod 5G

I recently purchased the Blu-Ray version of the Dark Knight (fantastic by the way), and thought that it would be great to be able to watch it on the go on my ipod. The 2-disc (well, really 3-disc including the digital copy) included a CD called Digital Copy. I put it into my Mac. I opened iTunes, clicked "Dark Knight" in the Devices list, and I entered my Redeem code.
After around 5 minutes, the movie downloaded successfully, and I was able to play it on my computer. I noticed that the resolution was 853x480, but I still synced it to my iPod.
I ejected my iPod, then on my iPod, went to Video->Movies->Dark Knight. After a few seconds, a loading screen comes up (a spinning object, really) and then it takes me back to my Movies menu.
How can I get my iPod to play the movie? If resolution is indeed the issue, how can I scale the video down to playable size? What IS a suitable resolution??
Thanks in advance,
-SB

The Digital Copy of Dark Knight is encoded and provided via a proprietary player. The resulting file that you downloaded from their site is NOT iTune or Quicktime compatible. It won't play in Quicktime Player, in iTunes nor will you be able to sync it to an iPod.
Nor can you convert the resulting file to a Quicktime or iTune compatible file (.mp4). Warner Bros has evidently taken great pains to keep this digital movie file within a encrypted format.
(I am writing this from experience. I too thought I could download and view the Dark Knight Digital Copy on my iPod. Once I read the fine print, I didn't even bother to download it.)
sorry to burst any bubbles out there.

Mov file in Keynote doesn't work in 4.0

I've been a presenting a Keynote file that includes many imbedded animations (mov or mpeg files) I did not create. I just upgraded to Keynote 4, and now one of the slides has stopped working. This shows Lake Chad slowly drying up (from Gore's presentation in An Inconvenient Truth), and previously it dissolved slowly from the Lake in 1963 through intermediate steps until it is gone in 2001. Now it freezes in 1963 and the jumps to 2001.
When I view package contents on the file, and double click on the mov file (there are actually a couple that I see), the movie runs fine in Quicktime. Anybody have any ideas for me? I'm making a major presentation using this file on Thursday. I guess I can save as an earlier version and reinstall Keynote 3...
Thanks.
Andy

I just open my next weeks lecture form last year and the movie doesn't play... The movie is a 281 MB H.264 movie... I can open it in quicktime and it works fine, plays in keynote 3 just fine. If I put the movie in a new presentation file it doesn't work... The preview thumbnail slide along the edge shows the movie, but it's just a blank white pane in the slide.
I just searched my HD and popped in a whole bunch of .mov movie files and they all play just fine, until I put in another H.264 one, it is also just a blank white window...
I can't believe apple didn't test H.264 in keynote 4 so this must be a setting somewhere, right?
please don't make give his lecture in powerpoint!

How do you save data into an excel file while myRIO is acquiring data? I tried saving it using "Write to file" but it doesn't work for some reason.

I am acquiring cosine wave and a pulse wave as input and I want to store their peak to peak values into an excel file. "Write to File" is not working for it. Is there any other vi which can be used for data logging?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ssheoran,
Can you provide more detail when you say that the Write to File VI doesn't work? Is there an error given? Or can you just not find the file on your computer? Keep in mind using this file in a Real-Time VI on the myRIO will save files on the myRIO. You will then have to transfer to your PC. Please view the following video as a guide for saving files and transferring them to your computer: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuREWnD6Eno). Hope this helps.

Finding XML file from EJB doesn t work.

Hi all:
I have an EJB accesing a XML file to parse a XML document. The file is in the classpath, and sometimes the EJB finds it and sometimes not.
What happens?
When the EJB finds it, DOMParser method, parse(InputStream), doesn t work.
I use this file to config DB connection externally for my BC4J (I don t use JTS).
Thanks in advance.
Joaqumn.

Well, it won't work as iWeb has no import facility so cannot open html files.
What you could do is upload the html file to wherever you are hosting your site and create a link to it from iWeb, or find another package similar to the one you are using at present that is for Mac rather then PC.
