HT1498 Why do rented movies on AppleTV have to start the download all over again if I didn't watch it yesterday?
I rented a 1080p movie using AppleTV (3rd gen) several days ago. But the download time was so slow that I decided to let it download & watch it another day. Two days later I tried to watch it and the long slow download started all over again. So again I let it load intending to watch it the next day. When I wanted to watch it yesterday SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN! Why is this happening? Isn't ATV's hard drive big enough to store it? The movie cover always showed in the "rented" section but obviously wasn't really there.
Yes - presumably you've set up Home Sharing and can stream from the Mac using the Computers icon to access your itunes library on AppleTV?
If you rent in iTunes you have to wait for the whole movie to download (appleTV lets you watch when it thinks the length of the movie is long enough to complete the download as you watch).
Once downloaded via iTunes it'll stay on the Mac for up to 30 days, but will also be available on AppleTV under a new Rentals column in the Computers section for your iTunes library - Rentals appears along with Movies, TV Shows etc but only when there's a fully downloaded rental to stream from the computer.
One thing to be aware of is that some titles are only available in HD on AppleTV not via iTunes.
You might want to experiment SD vs HD anyway as SD downloads far quicker.

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.
If you think this is a bug, you can report it here:

(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?

Please review and clarify and then we can get into greater details on this.
Thanks.

I need help..!
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it. -
My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half all the apps of my iPod have been suddenly wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why has it happened?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
Any tips anyone?
Cheers
PhilipThanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
Thanks again -
Ok, so I have just updated my iPad2 to the latest OS and I have lost my paid magazine subscriptions. How do I re-establish the link so that I don't have to subscribe and pay all over again?? this is frustrating as I also had to reload alot of non-supplied apps (games mostly). I also lost all of my contacts content.
Put them back the same you did originally. Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and re-sync the music you want back to your iPad using iTunes.

Awhile ago I updated my Macbook Pro to Mac OS X Lion, am I able to transfer this to my iMac as well? Or do i have to buy the whole thing over again on my iMac?
You need to upgrade the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8; the installer won't run on 10.5.8, and it won't install onto a 10.5.8 system if run from a compatible OS.

We're trying to watch a movie using our Apple TV. It is saying "cannot connect to internet?" WE thought it was because we just got a new computer, so i went through the process of downloating i-tunes all over again...yet we still have the problem. ??? PLease help
Linda
What exactly has changed?
Just the computer, other things?
More information on your actual setup is needed - Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself. The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection. By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.

I had almost 30 different seasons of tv shows in my library, alot. Now there all gone, my library is blank. My purchases are in my purchasd section on the store but I dont have enough space to download them all over again. I cant figure out what happend to them. I just watched one, then turnd my pc off, and later that day they were gone. And its IMPOSSABLE to contact apple about it, I dont know why its so hard to ask them any kind of question... Please help..
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too. -
With a new modem do I have to set it up all over again?
I just moved home from college. I set the AirPort Express up while I was down there using a modem down there. I plugged in my AirPort Express at home and plugged in the ethernet cable from my home modem to my AirPort Express and it is not working. My question is, do I have to set up the AirPort Express all over again on my MacBook? It is the same MacBook by the way. Also, if this is the case, and I have to re-install the set up software, what do I do if I have lost the software? I hope I'm not screwed. Thanks.
Are the two modems of the same type, e.g. cable modem or DSL? What was connected to that home modem before you tried to connect the AirPort Express to it? Did you reset the home modem, perhaps by unplugging it for a few minutes, when you switched devices?
The AirPort Utility program that you used to configure the AirPort Express should still be installed on your Mac unless you deleted it. If you did that (why?), you can download it from Apple's Web site. -
Now I have to re-type it all over again
Your system for answers SUCKS.
I have tried several times to convert an old Adobe PDF, that I created several years ago, using Export PDF to no avail. I have tried several times to contact Adobe to no avail. I need to convert this file to Word, so I can update it. How do I do it? Please send answer to [email protected], I don't have time nor the patientce anymore to wait around on some one to answer on a forum.I have sent you several e mails through your system and never heard a word from anyone. I am very frustrated, because you always had good products. But, now when I have a problem, it is nearly impossible to get help.
I can't tell you what the problem is, when I load the file, it thinks for a minute, and then tells me Conversion Failure. Here's a link to the file.
http://www.pdf-archive.com/2014/02/18/myttbook4/myttbook4.pdf
Of course I'm uploading it to ExportPDF directly from my computer.
