HT1657 Are all movie/film titles available for rent?

Are all movie/film titles in iTunes available for rent?

No, whether a film is available for renting and/or buying (and whether it's in HD and/or SD format) is the choice of the film studio, they set how each of their films is available.

Are any iBooks Author books coming out?

We all hear about the seemingly difficult process of getting an iBooks Author book through Apple's gates. It would be nice to see what is emerging as finally published books. We've seen a few mentioned here but where are the new titles coming out this week? Are free books arriving faster than paid books? I've scanned the new releases listed in iTunes and the iBooks Store but see little that resembles an iBooks Author publication, certainly few showcasing screenshots and enhanced features.
I've been waiting for Maria Langer's new 'enhanced' book on iBooks Author but saw this disheartening paragraph on here blog:
April 7, 2012 Update: One of the two tickets on my book has disappeared, but the other remains. Despite several attempts to contact Apple, it’s still unclear whether they realize that I have resolved this ticket. I keep getting canned responses that do not indicate whether they are following up on my problem. It seems to me as if they’re just sending out a response without even looking up the situation. I’m frustrated beyond belief at this point and angry about potential lost sales. And there’s no one at Apple who I can contact to get a definitive answer. Clearly, the iBooks Author publishing experience is broken and Apple is uninterested in fixing it.
I'm hoping for some good news from this Forum.

Is it possible that there are a good many really crappy books being submitted via IBA and they are wading thru them?
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that a large proporption of books is of poor quality, with spelling, grammar, editing, typography, and layout problems. Having worked as both an editor and author on and off for many years, I know first-hand that, what some people consider quality writing in fact isn't…
A big danger with any publishing program or word processor is that, even though the program is capable of producing professional output, the professional output doesn't come from the tool, but the author. I still need to know about typography, about design (partially taken care of by IBA with its templates), about style and grammar, about presenting material with proper logical flow, etc…
Just because I have tool doesn't mean that I can produce publishable material. That's where the whole process is flawed, in my opinion. Publishers normally provide services to authors that ensure some level of quality, such as copy editing, proof reading, layout design, and so on. With the iBookstore process, none of these services are provided by Apple, who merely acts in a distributor role. Many authors are not capable of doing all the things that publishers traditionally do, so a big chunk of what makes a book a good book has gone missing. Traditional publishers actually do add value for their share of the revenue.

These "long" waits people are complaining of should be encouraging that you are submitting your books to an entity that is exercising quality control rather than just publishing them all, like a blog... I wonder what the rejection rate is for IBA? I can't imagine Apple would fill their bookstore with poorly edited books.
We can only speculate what the reasons for the long wait are. Could be under-resourcing by Apple, could be that they are swamped, could be a combination of both.
It is striking though that submissions to the Appstore seem to go through so much quicker even though, arguably, applications are harder to test than books. As other people here have reported, they get a book as an app improved within a week, whereas no such thing seems currently possible with an eBook. Either apps are not reviewed as thoroughly as books, or the app review process is much better resourced.

No way to know what the rejection rate is, unless Apple decide to publish that (which I doubt the will). Having a bookstore full of junk or poorly written material is certainly not in Apple's interest. On the other hand, neither is having an appstore full of buggy and poorly written applications.
I think an initial wait time of four weeks would be tolerable for new submissions, if only the process were streamlined more. For example, telling people that something is wrong with their book without providing the detail needed for them to fix the problem is truly useless: it wastes the author's time as much as Apple's. And, once minor fixes are made, having the book go back to the end of the queue is simply bad process.

HT3209 Are $.99 movies not available for 1080p downloads?

HT4367 Rented a movie but it won't download. Rented it again and was told to go to settings and download. Should I be renting from iCloud and not my iMac? Never happened before and been renting all week since Thanksgiving!

Apple TV 2 with rebooting the iPhone 7.04 and iMac running Mavericks and rebooting TV etc today. Selected to rent a movie but it started to download and we lost it. Tried to rent again and was told it wasn't downloaded. Went to settings and only get spinning circle when I try to download the rental. Apple TV up to date and been renting all week since Thankgiving. Only 4.99 but making me nuts. Help anyone??

Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

HT1430 How do I delete a movie or can I move it so I can download a RENTED movie? I appreciate all of everyone's help

How do delete a movie download or move it somewhere so I can download a RENTED movie?

Thank you for the reply roaming gnome.
Unfortunately, I already have "hidden" these purchases in the past. Despite "hiding" them, they still attempt to download to my computer automatically.
Please note, I DID NOT PURCHASE this movie. A friend purchased it for me as a gift through iTunes.
Again, thank you for the link to the Apple Support page, but that does not resolve my issue.
Please see the attached screenshot for what I see when I go to Purchases > Movies. Nothing shows up - presumably because I already "hid" them in the past.
Selecting "Not in My Library" under "Movies" has the same display. The movie I want to delete does not show up under "Music" "TV Shows" "Apps" or "Books," as well.

HT1657 Are there options to purchase, with a discount, a rented movie?

I have yet to rent a movie however I have purchased them from iTunes. My question is if I rent a movie and decide I wish to own it, is there any type of credit applied or discount on the price being I just spend money to rent it or if its a $20 flick and a $5 rental I am going to pay $25 to rent and own it? Thanks for your time.

I have put in tickets for this, but the decision really isn't from Apple, but the media industry.

How do i move a book that i downloaded from itunes to my kindle ap on my macbook air

how do I move a downloaded book from itunes into my kindle ap

If it is "protected content" from itunes, such interchangeability is not supported.
You could go into the music/books library to copy the files, but the Kindle App won't be able to open or view them.

Why are the movies taking so long to download

hi there iv had a movie downloading on to my ipad and its been 3 days im new to his as this is the first movie iv downloaded

Movies tend to be quite large files. around 1.2GB to 1.5GB for SD versions. Twce that if they are HD.
Depending on your Internet connection they can take a while to download.
How fast is your Internet?

HT1657 I didnt have enough storage to fully download a rented movie. The time has expired but the movie is still downloading. How can I get rid of it now?

With the new itunes, I cannot movie my rented movies as I did before. It just shows a photo of each movie and a choice of details or to play movie. How do I download my rented movies now to my IPAD???

With the updated Itunes, how do I move a movie rental I downloaded to my computer to my IPAD? I can no longer find the "Move" button. It looks different, just listing a pic of the movie, I can choose only details or to play movie. Please help!! If you can possibly put up a screen shot to show my how to do this, it would be helpful. thanks

As far as I know it should work like it always has. Can you see the sidebar in iTunes? If not, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu, then click on your iPad on the left sidebar, then click on the Movies tab in the window on the right.

My movies are giving a URL not found on server error message, last week they worked fine. After deleting one of them, I don't get any retries for a free download. How do I contact the seller to complain?

Stan -
Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that? Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
Other thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

How do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

how do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive. Make sure they have copied. Delete them from iTunes. Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes. This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again. See also: iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Welcome to the Club! Got the same Problem and had a really hard time reaching the Customer Support because they were down due to maitenance! Just wrote to their experts chat and hope to get an answer in this life!
I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!
