I have had no need to download any of my movies to my Mac.  Which has been great.  However, I remember that I used to now have to do this... or did I?  I am just frustrated because I want to stream all this stuff vice haveing to waiting for it all to download fill up my Mac's HD and then just delete. Someone help please?

  • How do you watch an iTunes movie/TV show on your T.V?

    Please tell me how to put iTunes Movies or T.V shows onto a DVD and watch it on your T.V.? Do i have to have some sort of software for my T.V that will allow me to?
    -Thanks in advance!

    As the previous response said, you can't burn your iTunes movie to a DVD. The Apple TV will be a great option but you have others as well.
    The easiest option is to use the iPod Video which can connect directly to a TV's RCA jacks for video output. If you have an iPod Video then you simply need to buy a cable and you are ready to go--easy and portable. This is great for hotel rooms!
    Another option, depending on your computer's and TV's input/output jacks, is to connect your computer directly to your TV. I have an inexpensive Windows XP mini-tower equiped with a cheap dual monitor video card that allows me to output composite-video, s-video, VGA and DVI. Some cards also support component video.
    If this sounds to complicated, and you have a widescreen TV with component video inputs, then I would wait for the Apple TV. http://www.apple.com/appletv/

  • My iPad Air will not recognize my newest Apple ID e-mail address for cloud access. It continually reverts back to an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to and don't remember the PW for. How can I fix this?

  • How can I store movies in the cloud and access them on my devices without having to download them to them?

    Hello,
    I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    There is good news coming!
    Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
    This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
    Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed.  Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
    Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • How can I watch my itunes movies thru my WII?

    I have windows Vista and would like to know how I can watch movies or tv shows that I have purchased on Itunes on a WII.

    Airplay will have additional capabilities later, w/iOS 5....
    As one alternative now, EyeTV will broadcast/stream wirelessly from your computer to iPad, iPhone, touch. Live TV, movies, etc.

    Yes. It's called "Video". It's one of the built in apps.

  • How do I watch my iTunes movie Rentals

    Recently I bought a Movie Rental from the itunes store. I fully downloaded the movie, then I exitied out of iTunes so that I could watch it some other day when I have time. 2 days later I go to iTunes to watch my movie rental and I can't seem to find it? I checked my "Purchases" ---> "Movies" nothing, then I checked "Store" --> "Check for Available Downloads" yet still nothing. If someone could tell where would I need to go to watch my movie rental that I fully downloaded? Also would it be possible to claim for a refund if I am unable to solve this issue?

  • HOw do I watch my itunes moves from myMacbook air through HDMI connection

    I purchased the HDMI cables for my Macbook Air and connected to the TV to watch my purchased itunes movies. The TV screen went black. Am I missing a step?

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • How can I keep all of my apps and stuff from one ID and move them to another ID without having to buy them all over again?

    Me and my mom share an account and I bought all my apps and stuff on their. so I made my own account so that it would just have my stuff and it would charge to my credit card. So I was wondering how you can sink all the apps and stuff from one ID to another or link the accounts so that I don't have to repurchase everything.

  • I just moved and wireless internet is now provided for me. I am not using my Time Capsule as a router anymore but can I still use it as my storage device wirelessly?  So far I cannot get it to work. Please help.

    Hi,
    I just moved to a new place.  I used to have my own internet setup and used my Airport Time Capsule as my router.  Now that I don't need to use it as a router I would still like to use it as a storage device for my pictures.  Can I still do that wirelessly or do I have to plug it into my computer?  And if I do (which would really be crumby) do I just use a USB cable?
    Please help.  I have a lot of work stored on it and I am feeling pretty stuck at the moment.
    Thank you,
    Charlie

    You can use your Time Capsule in your new network in a number of ways. One would be as a NAS device which I believe you are looking to do.
    To do so, you would connect the TC to the new router by Ethernet. You would also want to reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
    You can do both of these using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the TC, and then, select Edit.
    Select the Network tab.
    Change Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Select the Wireless tab.
    Change Network Mode to: Off
    Select Update and allow the TC to restart.

  • How do i watch a purchased movie from the cloud on mac without having to download it

    I have downloaded the movies to my mac air, due to the limited capacity I have deleted them. they are now available on the cloud. so in order to watch them now, i need to download them, this takes time. so i would like to know if there is a possibility to watch those movies without downloading them (like streaming)?
    thank you

    A friend outside of this discussion forum said that it is a glitch and that I would have to reset the iPod back to factory settings. I did it and it worked, as well it ended a couple other glitches the iPod had been doing.

  • Forgot passcode, have never synced and don't have Find my iPhone set up...

    So my daughter has only had her phone for about 2.5 weeks now.  Due to her brother pestering her to want to know her passcode, she's changed it multiple times and now cannot recall what she entered.  It's completely locked now.  It has never been synched yet because our computers are caput and don't really work (in process of getting a new one soon) and we did not set up Find my iPhone.  One of our ancient Mac desktops (and I do mean ancient - like about 12-13 years old) does have iTunes set up and I tried to do a restore such as it's suggested on one of the help pages for solving this problem.  It allows me to select the Reset option, but once it appears to be done (about 30 minutes), it then says it can't perform this due to the fact that the phone has a passcode. Various people on various threads have said that this should work, but in our case it just doesn't.  Everything looks exactly as it should when I follow the steps and it all appears to go smoothly, but then just doesn't work in the end.  Are there any other options?  I thought about calling the company providing us with service to see if they could just cancel our service and then reset things on their end, but I wasn't sure if that would work either. 

    Thanks...I've seen this very response from you to other people on various threads and despite repeated attempts at following the instructions exactly as provided, this does not in fact work in my case.  I have followed the instructions to a T.  Read and re-read and re-read to make sure.
    Thanks anyway.
