Help with digital copy film on mac

hi, i got the hangover blu-ray for christmas and it comes with a free digital copy, which i was very happy about, so i follow the steps and go to the website where it says, sorry, its windows only, this is the first time i have had one that is windows only, now as well on the website's main page there is a help video which shows a video being transferred to a iphone/ipod touch, yet when i select that i have the hangover blu-ray and want the digital copy, it says sorry, windows only. any ways of getting it on my mac would be very helpful and make my christmas. thanks in advanced.

It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

  • Aparture 3 – Can you link a CD-copy with digital copy available on Mac App Store?

    Is it possible to link my CD-copy of Aparture 3, which I have on my Mac, with the digital copy that the Mac App Store offers?

    No, unfortuntely it wouldn't be possible for you to do that. iTunes wouldn't allow that because you didn't purchase it from iTunes.

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

  • Help with Windows Domain Login on Mac

    Hello Everyone,
    We have two Mac Pros at my work running Mac OS 10.5.8 and they are attached to the Windows Server / Domain so when the Mac is turned on you login with your Domain credentials (using Win Server to Authenticate). Now all of this has been working fine since the computers were purchased a year ago, until two days ago that is. I turned on the Mac Pro in the morning and tried to login, and the Mac would freeze and do nothing. I restarted and tried again, using the same credentials I always use, but nothing worked. I called the IT guys and had my windows user account reset thinking that the password was expired, still didn't help, so I asked them to reset the whole account, still didn't help.
    At this point I asked a few of my co-workers to login on my Mac using their login info, and they had no problems at all. I decided to dig deeper into this problem and logging in under a "local" Mac account I went into the "Accounts" preferences to check what was going on, to my surprise my Domain account was visible (normally it wasn't unless you were logged in) and under the account it said "sharing only".
    I am still trying to figure out why my Domain account was changed from "Admin, Managed" to "Sharing Only"? So I decided that the easy fix here was to use a previously made (and tested) image file which I created when the Mac Pro was first setup and all the software was installed. So after cloning the image to the Mac HD I turned on the Mac and tried to login, again nothing happened. I can login using the local account, and my co-workers can login fine, but my domain login just refuses to work. I have also tired to login on other Macs in the department and I can login just fine on each one, the only Mac that doesn't let me login is my machine.
    I have run out of ideas, short of re-installing the entire system from scratch.. which I really don't want to do unless I have to. But if anyone out there has any ideas I would more than welcome them.
    Thanks in advance..

  • Can anyone help with clearing space on my Mac Mini, it says the hard drive is full and runs slowly.

    Please help, we got the Mac Mini from a family member so it may have his stuff on it but no longer required, we have only put a smal amount of data on it so don't believe we have over filled it. I backed up to a hard drive all photos etc as I thought it may be them filling it, now I cannot even scan a document to it. Is there any way to Defrag it as you can normally do to a windows system as well as either declutter it or restore the whole thing.
    Best Regards

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

  • Problems with Digital Copy

    I inserted my redeem code and made sure it was correct but instead of starting the download it takes me to the app store in iTunes. Can someone help me?

    im having the same trouble with a digital copy of star trek i just keep getting a grey screen no audio or visual.
    ive just had a good scroll through some off the answered questions one thing you could try is deauthorizing your computer form itunes and then reauthorizing it. hopefully this should work for u.

  • Hassle with Digital Copy - Peeved at Customer Service

    I bought Sex and the City: The Move (extended cut) that came with a digital copy. When I redeemed my digital copy it had me download the theatrical cut instead of the extended cut. I did the whole “Report a Problem” bit in iTunes which kicked me to Apple’s support page to contact someone. I did and the person I’m speaking with doesn’t appear to speak English or understand my situation.
    Customer Service (aka “Judy”) says, “Cristina you would be able to get the original cut of the movie for your iPod would not be play the extended cut of the Sex and the City movie for the file would be too big.” Now, honestly I don’t know what she is talking about so I assumed she was trying to tell me I couldn’t have the extended cut because the file is too big? Um then why do you have the extended cut for download in the iTunes Store?
    I stood my ground saying stating this weirdness; I also resubmitted my support ticket to possibly get someone else to help me as well. She responded this morning saying I get 3 video credits, and that if I have anymore issues I should take it up with Fox’s Digital Copy Site; too bad my movie is by New Line Cinema, so that doesn’t help me very much.
    With my credits in tow, I proceeded to download the extended cut. Once my download begins I get some kind of warning message saying my video credit only works on some movies. The movie was charged to my credit card instead of being redeemed through my video credits. I reported the problem through iTunes again, and I replied to the current Customer Service rep that's been helping me.
    I'm getting really frustrated with this. Any idea if there is anything else I should do other than what I'm already doing? All I wanted was the correct copy. I thought I was getting that through the video credit. Now I have $15 on my credit card.

  • Help with installing CS3 on new Mac

    Recently purchased new Macs for the department. Cannot install CS3! It asks for the CS2 license number which we have. Turns out it doesn't recognize it. Called customer support and everyone had the same answer, but no solution. I purchased the CS2 corporate license when we had about 6 Macs. Now, we're down to 3 so I purchased the CS3 as individual suites. They said there is no workaround with getting CS3 to recognize the CS2 license! We called 4 different times and talked to 4 different reps who gave us all the same broken-record response. Any help with be greatly appreciated!

    I believe that is essential what the customer service folks were telling my designer. However, both was installed before on the old Macs (CS2 corporate licensed and CS3 individual license) - that's the odd thing, is that it worked before on an older system. All we did was buy new hardware.
    I hope this isn't Adobe's way of making us upgrade to CS4 - lol!

  • Bought retail movie, with digital copy, downloaded & watched, now what?

    This is a question for my wife who actually uses an ipad. I collect movies and activate the digital copies into her / our itunes account. For the first time, she's now downloaded one and watched it on a flight. If she deletes the local copy, will it automatically go back to the cloud (recreate the cloud download symbol) for later viewing, or is there some special procedure that she must follow in order not to lose the ability to download it again or stream it again? Thanks.

    If she was able to watch the movie on a flight - then that means that the movie is actually residing on the iPad. You don't have to do anything to watch it again other than to go to the Videos App and tap on the movie to start it again. If you downloaded the movie onto the device or synced it from iTunes after downloading it there, it is on the iPad.
    If you want to be sure, go to the Videos App and look for it. If it does not have the cloud icon next to, then it's on the device, and not in the cloud. I don't know if you can download digital downloads again, so if she wants to delete it from the iPad, I would transfer it into iTunes before deleting it. Then she can sync it back later if she wants to watch it again. I have two movies that had digital downloads. I downloaded them in iTunes and synced them to the iPad and I have the movies safely stored in my iTunes Library on my. Mac.

    Quick edit. Apparently you can download digital downloads again. Take a look at this. I just found it.

  • Trouble with digital copy

    I received a message from iTunes that an error occurred while transferring my movie from digital copy. The movie does not show up on my iPad under purchased.

    How did your movie get to iTunes originally?  For example, did you purchase it in the iTunes Store?  If so, was it purchased using the same Apple ID as your iPad uses?

  • Need help with Digital Camcorder compatibility!

    I am looking to buy a digital video camera but I am not sure if they are "compatible" with my iMac. My friend just bought the JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder - Model: GZMG330HUS. It comes with Windows software and the manual has a brief mention of how to Backup-Up the video files onto the Mac but no mention of the video format being compatible with Mac. Anyway we tried plugging it into the Mac to see how it responded, and it did not, except that it saw it as a device that we could access the video files to copy then to the Mac hard drive. The Video files have an extendion .MOD and .MOI. Tried double clicking on the MOD (the video itself) and the Mac gave the message that no application exists to run it.
    I really want iMovie to recognize it so I can edit the video and make movies to sent to family.
    So, my question is whether any of you have tried this? Is there a solution to get this type of camera to be recognized by iMac? Are there other suggestions for compatible cameras in the $400 range (like this JVC is)?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had an issue with a JVC customer service rep that caused me to return a JVC camcorder that would not work with my iMac. I have since purchased the Panasonic PV-GS320 mini/dv camcorder.
    Fantastic video and absolutely no problems. Recognized through iMovie, iDVD and FCE HD 3.5 via firewire. How-ever, you will have to purchase a firewire cable as it is not supplied with the camcorder.
    Also in your price range, around $350.00.
    Hope this helps.
