HT1657 why do I need Internet to start an iTunes rental

I needed Internet to start my iTunes movie rental in flight....I find this outrageous....what is the reason?

The most frequent answer to this I have seen is you do not need a connection once it is on your device.

  • Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    Try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
    Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems.  Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?

    Hi,
    When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?
    Thanks.
    Ed

    There's no fast rule sayng you must, and I suspect most people only use one.
    You might want to set up a second library if your first one is so huge that it is slow to operate.  Split your media. For example, I don't listen to classical and rock music at the same time and could restart iTunes ffrom a different library when the time came to switch.
    I have a few extra libraries. One's for music I organized for a special occasion but don't really listen to myself and don't want it cluttering mine. I also have a special library for my mp3 player (not an Apple model) with its own set of files which match some in my main library but they are tagged differently to be compatible with the player's quirks.
    I could also see having a different library for files on an external drive if you have some on your internal drive too.  You might, for example, have a bunch of movie files on an external drive that you don't normally need to have plugged in all the time and don't want iTunes giving you a bunch of exclamation marks if are using it to play your music media on your internal drive.

  • Why do we need to call start() to execute a thread.

    hi,
    Why do we need to call thread.start() to execute a thread. why not just calling run().
    Vjoy

    hi,
    Why do we need to call thread.start() to execute a
    thread. why not just calling run().
    Because, start() does two things.
    - start a new thread of execution and then
    - call the run method....and calling run does NOT start a new thread of execution. It's just a plain old regular method.

  • Why do I need Photoshop Album Starter?

    I already have Photoshop 7.
    Is there anything in Album Starter 3 of significant importance that I don't already have in "7"?
    I'm running Windows XP Home edition, with a 1.3 chip and 384 Mb of RAM.

    may i ask a question about the adobe starter editions? yesterday my starter edition upgraded from version 2, to version 3. a new icon was created on my desktop for 3, but the older icon remains. when i try to access the older version my windows xp searches but cannot find any program. i assume version 3 has pre-empted the older version.
    by the way, version 2 is no longer in my add/remove list either.
    so, my question is this. can i do a file search for any and all things adobe photoshop starter edition v. 2, and delete or uninstall everything that comes up without goofing up my working version? the updated version?
    it may be that the only thing remaining is that shortcut icon to version 2, but i havent done the search yet.
    the same thing applies to my adobe reader. i have updated continuously from version 4, (that came with the computer) and am now running version 7+. i still have icons for the older versions, and the older versions are in my add/remove programs as well. if im only going to use the newest version, is it safe to uninstall or delete or remove all older versions? (that would be versions 4, 5, and 6.) thanks for your help.

  • Why do I need to be connected to itunes to authorize and play videos I already downloaded?

    I downloaded some episodes of Sherlock but I have to be connected to the internet to authorize my account to play it every time. Isn't the point of downloading it so you don't have to be connected to the internet?

    Maybe it has not completed download. Try connecting to the internet first to confirm. Follow these steps:
    1. Open iTunes. From the Store menu at the top, choose Check for Available Downloads.
    2. Enter your account name and password when prompted, then click the Check button. Your purchase should begin downloading.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do I have to allow or deny iTunes or any other software, access to the internet?

    Why do I have to allow or deny iTunes or any other software, access to the internet?
    I've had my MBP with Leopard since the summer of 2010. From then till this past spring, I have had my firewall on and when opening a program that needs internet access, such as: iTunes, Vuze, various office products, without a problem.
    Since this spring, each time I open the above software, I have give permission (allow/deny) internet access. So, this isn't a prolem really, I'm just curious why this is happening.
    Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core I7
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    OS X 10.6.8

    Did you install Little Snitch (or Hands Off)?  It will post a dialog to allow/deny apps calling out if you don't allow it to record what it is to permanently do if it sees the same call again from the same app.
    Little Snitch will post a dialog with allow/deny buttons.  But there is also three tab buttons; once, until quit, forever. "Until quit" is the default.  So it won't nag about the same call again until that app quits but it will if you relaunch that app and the app makes the same call out.  Choose "once" will allow that one call to be placed but will cause LS to nag the next time that app tries to call even if you haven't quit.  Choose Forever and it will never nag again about that specific all attempt.
    You need to train LS which apps you want to permit calling out and which ones you never want to allow calling out.  You will of course initially be nagged quite often as you are seeing.  But if you train LS to always allow the ones you want to allow eventually there will be fewer and fewer dialogs since your habits don't change that radically in the way you use your own machine.

  • HT1657 Once I download a rented movie do I need Internet connection to watch

    Once I download a rented movie on iTunes doi need Internet connection to watch it.

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • Why do I need to start up Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?

    I have an Intel Mac Mini connected to my TV, so I started using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro to be able to work on it when others were watching TV.
    Both Macs used to have OSX 10.5 Leopard, and everything worked fine.
    Now they both have OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and whenever I startup Screen Sharing, the connection-windows asking for my Name & Password comes up properly, but then it hangs... it stays in "Connecting..." for ever (litteraly).
    I'm not able to quit or force-quit the connection-window by then, so it stays in view...
    (Screen Sharing isn't even listed in the force-quit list as a running app)
    but...
    when I just try Screen Sharing again, I get connection immediately and it seems to work flawlessly...
    ...it's just that the connection-window is impossible to quit...
    it stays in view an is really annoying...
    this looks really crappy...
    can anyone tell me why I do need to startup Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?
    Is this a bug ?
    (If so : please apple fix this a.s.a.p.)
    ...or am I doing something wrong ?
    (if so : what am I doing wrong ? and how can I get rid of this annoying screen ?)
    Thank you for your kind reply.
    Toon.B

    it's October and this really annoying problem still exists !
    the unnamed screensharing-loginwindow keeps "Connecting...", and I'm unable to shut it down...
    ...even after my screen sharing session is over
    ...even force-quitting is impossible (this 'app' just isn't showing up in the force-quit-window...)
    please Apple - fix this ; under 10.5 it was working great !
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
    (besides restarting my Mac)
    Thanks !

  • Why does compressor need to be connected to internet to work?

    I am using an 8 core macpro with 10.5.2 installed and final cut pro 6.0.3
    when I put a job in compressor and try to submit the job, compressor says it has an unknown time remaining , and nothing ever gets done. That is because I have blocked the out going connection to a couple of ports that my firewall was telling me compressor tried to connect to the internet when I submitted this job.
    If I do NOT allow compressor to connect to the internet, I can NOT use it.
    After I allow compressor to connect to these weird ports, only then can compressor work.
    DId compressor get infected with a virus or something? Why do I need an internet connection to use compressor?

    its since I updated to final cut 6.0.3
    This problem is not unique to just me, a search for "compressor unknown time remaining" in google shows alot of people with this issue
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=compressorunknown+timeremaining&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
    sadly, I have yet to find a solution other then it working on 6.0 and 6.02
    please do not say its user error when I have tried all the so called workarounds and none have work.
    it works when I let it connected to the ports it connects to, if I do not let it connect to the ports, it doesnt work
