HT1420 Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto USB stick to put in the TV?

Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto a USB to plug into our TV?

If you mean a movie purchased from the iTunes Store then the answer is no. Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) in this case using Apple's 'FairPlay' scheme and this prevents you simply copying and playing the file.
You can however purchase a movie from the iTunes Store and either play it via iTunes on a Mac or PC which could be connected to your TV, or you can use an Apple TV device which is specifically made for this purpose.
See http://www.apple.com/appletv/
If on the otherhand you mean just a movie you have downloaded from a website which is nothing to do with Apple's iTunes Store then it very much depends on the format of the movie. Some 'Smart' TVs can play some movie file formats from USB memory sticks. You will need to check the specs of your TV to see what formats it supports.

Have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy

I have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?

Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?
I'm stock in the re install mode of the Mountain Lion system and I obviosly didn't buy it for this Macbook, and I was wondering if I can purchase Mountain Lion in on of my friends Macbook, and then install it in mine, with my apple ID of course. Thank you.

Well, I can check with mine when it need to be updated and then I can signed with my ID again on his mac to update it, right? Just wondering if it's not going to create any conflicts with other software's, specially with iCloud and iTunes, because of his iPhone and iPad.
Thanks for the answer.

How can i download a movie onto a ipad mini that is not set up using my apple id without deleting everything on the ipad?

I have a Ipad mini that is set up on another Apple ID that is different than mine. I wish to know if it is possible for me to downlaod a movie onto it without having to remove everything off it.

I had the same question as was asked here, and I see that if I turn off my Wi-Fi on my iPad I can no longer access the iTunes Extras. However, if the extras are streaming-based, why is the file size of movies with Extras so much larger than those without? Any other HD movie with a similar running time is between 1.5 and 2.5GB, all with Extras are between 3.5 and 5GB. The problem isn't the Extras, its the lack of space on my iPad.

Can I download an update on with one computer and install it using another?

I want to update my Touch to 3.0 but my Mac at home that the Touch syncs with has a dial up connection so there is no way I can download the update- it's too big. Is it possible to download the update at work on a Windows machine and then somehow transfer it to my Mac and install the update?

I have the same problem. I wish to download the update for a friend who only has dialup and has tried and failed to download the update himself.
I'm hoping that the answer has changed (or will, Apple)??
Alternatively, can he take his iPod Touch to an Apple Centre and have it updated there?

My iTunes rented movie plays for 24 seconds and then Windows 7 says it needs to close down the program. Help.

The movie is downloaded, I know where it is, I can start in different chapters, but it only works for 24 seconds before it shuts down and I have to close the program. I have uninstalled iTunes, Quick Time and downloaded and installed after restarting my computer. How can I watch the movie? In the past, it has worked, but this is the second time I try and I just lose my rental. Please help.

Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:

How do I purchase/download/transfer old songs to new computer and then purchase new songs and view/edit items from library?

I have a nano ipod, I no longer have the email I used to purchase and download all songs I want to purchase new songs from a new laptop with a gmail address, how can I do this? I am not sure what to do when it asks me if I want transfer and erase? I do not want to lose any itunes library of songs already purchased on old computer and old email address.
Thanks Gina

You can transfer the older purchases from your Nano to your new PC by choosing File -> Transfer purchases with the nano plugged in and appearing in iTunes. You'll need to authorize your account with the older Apple ID and credentials.

How can I download a movie onto my iPad without the iTunes extras or in SD?

I have been trying to download or transfer some of my movies to my iPad, but with all the new iTunes extras some of the movies are 5GB or more now which is crazy. Is there a way to transfer the movies without these features, so that I have more space?

I had the same question as was asked here, and I see that if I turn off my Wi-Fi on my iPad I can no longer access the iTunes Extras. However, if the extras are streaming-based, why is the file size of movies with Extras so much larger than those without?

HT3209 Can I download a TV show to my computer and use my router to get to my Samsung TV or Integra AV receiver or a Roku to watch?

I want to be able to watch "Breaking Bad" Season 5 on iTunes since Dish Network dropped AMC. I don't want to watch it on my computer when I have a 64" plasma with computer sharing capability (same as my Integra receiver has). Can I pull up my computer from my plasma and open my iTunes downloads and watch on my plasma?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, you can't use the methods you have suggested. Apple has an Apple TV that will do that though.

Hello. I downloaded a movie on my MacBook Air and cannot play it. I am unable to access the "play" icon under "controls" as it is not available.

Can anyone help me?
Also, I cannot find the place in Finder that I was able to use on my old macbook pro that specified: today, yesterday, last week, etc. I found that really helpful.
thanks,
Carolyn
