"HD versions available for iPad and Apple TV"...What about my HDTV???

So I have a Mac Mini with HDMI hooked up to my HDTV.
Last night I wanted to rent a movie when I noticed that I could only rent the SD version. At first I thought maybe it was only available in SD.
But then I noticed some text saying that it was available in HD on iPad and Apple TV.
Is it just me or is this ridiculous? The Mac Mini has an HDMI on it so it can be hooked up to HDTVs...It's exact same as an Apple TV.
Why on earth can't I watch the HD version on my TV?
Please tell me that I am an idiot and there is some setting that I'm missing that will allow this.

I assume you are playing these directly from iTunes. Make sure the default is set to HD. You can do this by right clicking the movie in question, go down to version, and select HD as the default.

    AFAIK, no officially unlocked iPhones are available in any Apple stores in the US. You can call & ask, but I suspect you'll find they are only available through Apple's online store(requires a verified billing/shipping address in the US).

  • Could this be the killer photography app for iPad (and Apple TV, etc)?

    The iPad and Apple TV could become the next killer app for professional photographers - all Apple needs to do is copy the iPod programming into the Photo app as follows:
    1. Enable rating photos being viewed (1=top, 5=bottom)
    2. Enable viewing photos by rating (1s only, 1s and 2s, unrated, any combo)
    3. Enable slideshow to randomly pick from photos by rating
    4. Enable virtual albums just like the iPod playlist function, so photos could be organized into albums without being recopied.
    5. Enable slideshow to use multiple folders, albums and playlists (new feature)
    Then the wedding photographer could invite the client to see their virtual album, rate the pictures being viewed for selection in the wedding album.... you "get the picture?"
    Come on Apple, this one's easy!

    ...but it doesn't post the suggestion for others to comment, which is what I was seeking here....
    You didn't ask for comments in your original post. The tone of your post implied that you wanted to let Apple know your feeling, not a request for comment or survey, etc.

  • Wich Brands use Apple use for HDDs and RAMS? Whats about Blu-Ray and Players?

    Hard Disks Brands for Example:
    Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, Hitachi, Maxtor, Corsair, Fujitsu, Plextor, Buffallo,  Iomega, Intenso, Teac, Trekstor, Toshiba, Verbatim, Sandsk ???
    Rams Brands Example:
    Corsair, G-Skill, G.E.IL, OCZ, Kingston, Mushkin, Infineon, HP, LaCie, Verbatim, Sandisk, Sharkoon, Crucial, Extrem Memory, Lenovo, Patriot, Team Group, Transcend, Lenovo, Dolphin, Excelram, Silicon Power ???
    When Apple Blu-Ray will support Mac OS X and and why there are no available? Otherwise I think apple cool even the concept, design and Operating System. Because of that i have to use Windows, BootCamp Parallels. Why thaht? Give us a Blu-Ray Player and supports in Mac Os without those other three thinks. Microsoft an Windows ***** ;-)

    Apple uses a variety of sources for RAM and HD's, even though two machines can have identical specifications they can use different vendors for common products such as RAM and HD's.
    Apple currently does not support Blue-ray and has not announced any plans to do so. Per the terms of use we all agreed to by joining this forum we cannot speculate on future products or speculate on Apple decisions. The terms of use say:

  • So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

    So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?

    If you're on windows try the following:
    This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck

    If we buy a game for iPad and now it's available for Mac, should we buy again? I've bought fractal for iPad and now it's available for Mac, if I want to play on my mac should i buy the same game again?

    If you want to play it on the Mac, you need to buy it again. iOS and Mac OS X versions of applications are separate products.

    I have activated the genius for Ipad and the message that It was a success never disappears . It is impossible to access the itunes or apple store. What can I do?

    You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

  • When is Apple will make a Micro USB Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones ???

    IIt's really a big help if Apple make their own Micro USB a Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones.

    Apple would not tell people there are other brands on the market. It is my opinion that if Apple users keep asking for the USB for ipads, they might consider it. As for the iphone there MIGHT be a tiny slot inside where the battery is for an SD card, which expands the space. I know Android has that feature in their cell phones, but not sure about Apple.

  • Apple Id for Mutiple devices (IPhone / IPAD and Apple note book)

    is it preferable to ahve the same apple ID and email address for both my divices  (IPhone and my Apple book computer ?) or it is recommended to have a seperate one for each device ?

    Yes it is preferable to use only one Apple ID for al Apple devices you own. In fact I think it is mandatory. Otherwise you can't sync all devices with iCloud and sign into the respective App stores at the same time.
    Having more than one Apple ID becomes extremely confusing for you and Apple.

  • 18000 and 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and view them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?

    I have 18000 photos and i have to signed up to 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and see them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?
    I have dragged my entire library over to the iCloud icon on the left side menu bar on my iMac iPhotos.
    i have also signed into iCloud.com but can only see recent few photos taken today on my iPhone and when i have gone to import i can not import for my iPhotos app?
    How do i get these to the cloud to view across my devices?
    What settings do i need to use on my iPhone and iPad?
    Or is iCloud not the best way to store and view my library?
    Thanks Spud

    You are a bit early.
    Wait for a few month.  iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
    See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac:  http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
    and also:  Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
    The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface,  see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles,  and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library.  Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.
