HT3209 Why does apple not allow me to download an hd movie to my pc? Why doesnt apple get it that I simply want to download a hd movie to my computer so that I can repeatedly watch the hd movie via apple tv to my pc as opposed to using isp bandwidth?

See title.

This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

    There are many ways of stripping metadata.  Not sure how "locking" it would be of any use.

  • Why does Firefox not allow me to access podcasts by clicking on the "view in i-tunes" link from a website?

    When I click on "view in i-tunes," Firefox starts opening multiple tabs at a rate of 4 or 5 per second. The only way to stop it is to turn off the computer & reboot. How can I fix this?

  • Why does Firefox not allow me to go to Facebook, consistently says "untrusted connection"??

    I have read through all of the responses to this exact questions posed by other users and nothing is working. What is the most frustrating is that this is not a constant issue. One minute I will be logged onto Facebook and when I try to visit a friends page or post something it will freeze, then the "untrusted connection" comes up. Or it will be working fine for a couple hours and I will log off of Facebook, when I come back a few hours later, or even a few minutes later I get the "untrusted connection" warning again. This has happened more now that Firefox has been updated and it is also happening to my roommate. She will be logged onto Facebook and I will try and get the warning, or vice versa. We are in the same room on separate computers. This problem does not occur on Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. This is an issue with Firefox, not my computers. We have four computers (2 Desktops, 2 Laptops) in our home, my boyfriend works in IT. We have done everything suggested by the people here and nothing works. I would understand if it was happening to one computer constantly and you tried to tell me it was my computer, but that is not the case. This happens with all four computers at different times. How can one person be logged on to Facebook and another isn't, then an hour later it will work on the latter computer and not the one it was working on previously. This is very frustrating. I love using Firefox over Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, I trust it more. But this is getting ridiculous. It has been happening for a long time, it just got worse with the update. Please help. It happens with Google and other popular sites as well.

    This is what it says, every time for me
    ''''''''This Connection is Untrusted''''''''
    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.facebook.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

  • HT1498 I have rented several movies from iTunes on my iPad, just bought apple tv, can I watch the rented movies from my iPad on the tv ?

    I have an iPad and have rent several movies from iTunes, I have just bought apple tv, why can't I watch my rented movies on the tv, my home share is activated ? Have I just wasted £99 ?

    Hi,
    Yes, start the movie on your iPad and tap on the AirPlay icon and chose AppleTV from the list.
    You can't "transfert" your rental to your AppleTV but you can stream it using AirPlay.

  • Why does Verizon not allow unlock bootloaders?

    So I been wondering why is it Verizon is blocking the bootloaders on Android phones, when you have manufacturers unlocking them for the users who are paying a ridiculous amount for the phones to begin with.  I was hoping to see the droid phones unlocked, and motorola is living up to their end by unlocking them, but it seems Verizon is being difficult about it.  I think since we do pay a ridiculous amount of money for the phones we should  at least have that abililty. 
    I find it odd that it is no problem to the rest of the world, who seem to get their updates quicker as well.  But over here Verizon has a issue,

    Yeah I know its possible and it would be nice to remove the crapware, which I think is causing issues for the phones. I understand verizon uses them for profit and yada yada yada, but you should be allowed to delete them. And it would be nice to get these os updates quicker then the normal year it takes them to roll them out.
    fyi...."if" your device ever gets ice cream sandwich, one of the features of it will be that you can completely disable preinstalled apps. you still can't uninstall them, but you can disable them to the point that they will not show up in the app drawer AND will never randomly open and start running. i thought this was a pretty nice feature.
    Yeah actually using go launcher on my phone, and one of the neat features it has it allowed me to hide the bloatware, so at least it's a little more helpful.  Yeah I'm glad google is finally wanting to get somewhat of a handle on the bloatware, that's one of the reasons I am really looking forward to the new nexus phone coming to Verizon.  I am half tempted to use the "r word"  heaven forbid people use the word and want to have complete control of their phone lol.

    TL;DR, Adobe doesn't make flash for the iPad, and they never will. If you want to view or play flash content, do it on a computer.

  • Why does Firfox not allow me to stay signed in to igoogle any more?

    I use igoogle as my homepage and always leave the stay signed in box ticked. Now I find that every time I start Firefox I have to sign in to get my personal igoogle page to appear as my homepage. This did not use to happen and is very annoying, especially as I have no problem with Internet Explorer. If there is no answer I will no longer be using Firefox, although I like it this is a nuisance.

  • Why does Passport not allow you to log into App Store

    Since the iOS6 update.   When ever I open the App Store and gets the message I can not connect.   I then try and get into the app store after opening passport and get the same message for both App Store and ITunes.???   Am i doing something wrong ??

    Go to the Date & Time settings (General > Date & Time) and turn Set Auto to OFF, then change the date to a couple months ahead of now, say December 2012.  Go back to passbook and it should work normally.  Then change the Date & Time back to auto and you are set.  This fixed my issue like this and it's been ok every since.

  • Why does iTunes not allow me to import certain CDs?

    I import CDs that I own every so often, and sometimes I get a message that I "don't have access to your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes Media Folder in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info". But, no matter what I do, I can't import those CDs into my iTunes library. It only happens with certain CDs - as well as some songs that I have stored on a backup drive from my PC days - and I have no idea why. What can I do? I'd love to be able to import a bunch of older (80s and 90s) CDs...that I bought!
    Message was edited by: islandsmurf

    Not all permissions are altered as stated above. If you are still having problems (probably with just the odd CD which was on your list before) you need to look in your iTunes Music folder (homeuser/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) within the iTunes folder. There you need to look for a copy of the CD or mp3 file you are trying to upload. If it is already there, highlight it and 'get info' where you will see that despite unlocking the permissions, the file permission for 'staff' (or some other user which you may have defined) is greyed out and locked to 'No Access'. If this is the case, simply delete the whole folder for that CD then try uploading again.
    Worked for me after trying many times to change folder permissions on each and every file without success.
