How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?
How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad? Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this? What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad. HELP!
The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

Can i store my movies on the time capsule and access to watch on my new ipad?
can I store my movies on the time capsule and access wireless to watch on my new ipad?
TC is not a media player.. it has no smarts whatsoever.
If you have an app on the ipad to play files.. then the ipad can play files from anywhere.. even the TC.. but the TC contributes nothing. Do not move your itunes library to the TC.. that is asking for trouble. -
How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?
It depends upon what preferences settings you use. Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself. -
My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts. I purchased music from iTunes and have it my music folder on my iPad. I wish to use this music on our PC (windows) where the iTunes account is my wife's. How/can I do this? Thanks Guy
Hi Rysz,
Haven't tried this yet however not sure I understand why I would download my wife's purchases when I log into her iTunes account. my purchases are the ones I am trying to get n our PC. Appreciate your clarifying for me.
Thanks

I`d like to know how can i insert documents, xls/doc/pdf into iCloud and have them in my iPhone and my iPad. I just found one way, through ibooks, but i think it isn't a practical option.
Just use Drop Box instead.

How can I download a photo folder from my computer and have them appear on my ipad in the same order as they were on my computer
The sort order on iOS 5+ is by the photos 'date modified' field, on iOS 4 it's the 'date taken' - so you will need to modify that field on your photos.
Or you could consider using a third-party photo management app such as Photo Manager Pro which allows you to change the sort order within the app e.g. by date, size, type or you can drag them into your own sort order. -
Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!
Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

I downloaded quick time because i tried watching a movie i purchased on itunes and and have watched it before on my laptop but paused and continued. i tried opening it today and it said i needed to download quicktime and i did. it still says i need to download it, what do I do
Hi morgangang,
Although that message is not listed in the following article, I would still go through it for help. Things like installing in safe mode may help.
QuickTime: Windows troubleshooting tips
Troubleshooting Tips
Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
Try running ScanDisk to verify that the directory is OK. This is an important step to take before installing any software.
Try running the stand-alone version of the QuickTime installer in "Safe Mode." It is available here. This can help to isolate issues with background applications, and some driver conflicts.
Make certain you have installed the most recent drivers for your sound and video cards. Even if you have a "brand new" computer, it is not guaranteed to have the most recent software installed. Contact the manufacturer of your sound and video cards for additional information.
Make certain you have installed a recent version of DirectX.
Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Keep in mind that an error message does not necessarily point to a particular cause or solution. Since there can be many different causes for a particular symptom, some suggestions may not work, and you may need to discover a solution on your own.
Note: Please contact Microsoft Corporation or your computer vendor for help configuring Microsoft Windows.

I updated my iPod and now, two movies, which were purchased in iTunes and have/show both HD and SD versions are no longer syncing to or playing on my iPod.
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod firmware number as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Is there any error message when you try to sync the vidoes?
Have a nice day! -

How can I attach two additional monitors th an IMac and be able to place documents in either one or all three and manipulate them independnetly from one another without affecting the others?
On the vintage machine you have you would need something like:

However if you bought a new 27" iMac they have 2 video outputs that will work with Thunderbolt or MiniDisplay port outputs to external monitors. -

HT1296 how do i save contents on my ipod not purchased on itunes

The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....

How can I transfer music not purchased on iTunes to my new computer from my iPod?
I recently got a new computer and wanted the music from my iPod on it. I have a ton of CD's so over half the things I have on my iPod aren't things I purchased from iTunes.
When I went through the process of transferring (it only gave the option to transfer purchases) there were no songs from any of my CDs.
I have tried everything I know how and still I have not found anything to actually help. I've backed it up and there is still nothing new in my iTunes.
Why can I not transfer items not purchased from iTunes to my new computer? How do I do this?
I would greatly appreciate it if you would put an answer in the simplest form possible as I am not very tech-savvy.
I would also like to do this simply and without downloading another program if at all possible.
I have a Windows 7 computer if that is of any help.
Thank you!That is included here:
