How to combine files like the iTunes store does?

When you buy a Movie or TV Show on iTunes you recieve two versions of it, but it appears as just one file on iTunes. I was just wondering if its possible to do that manually to your own videos that you import into iTunes.

If you purchase a HD version you also get the SD version. Is this what you are referring too?

  • Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

    I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
    The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
    So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol

    80

    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • How do I get past the iTunes Store registration?

    At this time I do not want to register for the iTune Store. However, when I connect my iPod Nano I can't get past the Store requirements for registration. I have already registered my iPod.
    Pressing "Not now" and "Skip this step" are ignored.
    I just want to manage my music via iTunes but I am being prevented from doing this.
    I have never made any purchases from iTunes Store.
    Grateful for any help.
    John Slane

    I think I may have "solved" the problem myself -- or at least have got a work-around.
    Before plugging in the iPod, disconnect yourself from the internet. Then the management of the iPod menu, playlists and whatever can proceed via iTunes without stupid and unwarranted interference from the iTunes Store!
    What really hacked me off was the requirement from iStore that I give them my credit card number before I was allowed to complete the "registration" process. That I wasn't prepared to do, and why should I have to?

  • How to "Get Info" in the iTunes Store

    In the usual part of the iTunes Store, you cannot "Get Info" about media, but there is another section where you can. First, find out the item's Genre or Category.
    If it is Music, find out the Artist and Album.
    If it is an Audiobook, find out the Author/Narrator.
    If it is a Music Video, find out the Artist.
    If it is a TV episode, find out the TV Show and the Season.
    Go to the iTunes Store. Scroll to bottom. There are 4 columns. Under the 2nd column, Features, choose Browse. Choose the media type (Movie, Music, etc). Choose the Genre or Category. Next:
    if Music:
    Choose All for a Subgenre. Choose the Artist. Choose the Album. Right-click on the desired song, and choose "Get Info."
    if Movie or App:
    Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Audiobook:
    Choose the Author/Narrator. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Music Video:
    Choose the Artist. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Podcast:
    Choose All for a Subcategory. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if TV show:
    Choose the TV Show. Choose the Season. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."

    One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
    In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
    Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".

  • TS1459 how to accept cookies from the iTunes store

  • The iTunes store does not load when I open it

    So I recently had to install the latest version of iTunes after I upgraded to the newest version of iOS on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) because the older iTunes version wasn't compatable with the newest iOS version. I had been using a much older version of iTunes becuase every time I would update the iTunes store without fail would stop working. I spent almost an entire day trying to fix it like 6-8 months ago and I finally got it to work with one of the older versions, which was why I was mad that I had to update it again.
    Anyways, the iTunes store will not load at all. Everytime I open up iTunes on my computer (I have Windows Vista) and I try to go to the iTunes store, it never loads. It keeps saying "Accessing iTunes Store" (see image). I have tried to wait it out, but nothing ever changes.
    I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried reinstalling the newest version, neither of which helped. I also tried what they suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 but the only item that came up under the Winsock Providers tab was the Apple one.
    Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this.  It didn't work either.  Good luck!"
    It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)

  • The iTunes store does not accept my security code

    I am trying to update my iTunes account billing information on the iTunes store and it will not accept the security code for the bank card attached to my account.

    Try updating your billing address in iTunes.

  • Genius Recommendations in the iTunes store does not show the TV tab anymore.

    Recently the Genius recommendations in the iTunes store stopped even displaying the "TV" tab.  I still see the music and movies tabs (and the recommendations in them).  However, there is no tab for TV Shows.  About the same time (maybe simultaneously not positive though) I stopped seeing the quick link (upper right hand side of screen) to get to the TV Shows portion of my wish list.  For the wish list I can still scroll down to the TV section and click "see more" to get to the full list.  However in the Genius recommendations even the "show more" doesn't give me any TV Shows.
    Has anybody ever seen this before?  I'm at a loss after some quick searching on the web.

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
