I want to download the 1080p film version via iTunes on my PC for my iPad 3. But which version am I getting ?

I've just bought a new iPad and want to give it a run through with a 1080p movie, so I chose Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I have a ceiling on my broadband download of 20GB/month.  I wanted to download the movie once onto my PC via iTunes and then sync it to the iPad and potentially to my iPhone 4S.  However, when I think I've done this download, I look and it appears, by the size of the download I've just got the SD version on my PC. I've subsequently gone back in and checked the box in my preferences to prefer 1080p to 720p.  Does iTunes, take a look at the hardware you are downloading to and make a judgement call as to whether it is up to running 1080p ? (My PC is)  I've looked a bit more closely at the boxes on my PC iTunes and indeed the buy HD box is grayed out, even I clicked the HD option on the film, and more confusing is the fact that in the HD description there is only a 720p version listed.  Now when I go to my iPad, which I synced, there is a 1080p version listed there in the iTunes store, and it tells me that the film is downloaded to my iPad.  So does anyone know which version I have on my iPad, and why on my PC version of iTunes (which is 10.6.1.7) there is only a 720p version listed, whereas on the iPad version of the store there is a 1080p version listed ? I guess the moral of the story is download via the device you actually want to use - but I'd prefer not to download multiple versions of the film for different devices and prefer not to download such large files over wifi.

It seems you have not admin privileges on your pc. However, to circumvent that try the following. Right click your favorite browser and choose run as admin. Download the computers appropriate itunes version (32 or 64 bit) from apple's website. Again right click the downloaded installation program and choose run as admin. This should install it.

  • I want to download the 3.2 version only

    I'm enrolled in an online graduate course through Nova Southwestern University. They told me to download 3.2, NOT the newest version, on my home computer. I'd like to do the same on my work computer but can't find it.

    There is no version such as Firefox 3.2. But there were 3 releases in Mozilla Firefox 3.x-
    Firefox 3.0
    Firefox 3.5
    Firefox 3.6
    First please check with Firefox 3.6 as is is a supported Firefox release.
    Firefox 3.6 download (Windows - English US)-
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.20&os=win&lang=en-US
    If Firefox 3.6 doesn't work then try out Firefox 3.5
    Firefox 3.5 download (Windows - English US)-
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/download/407fe896100755bad3d9b4e7e3fdcbbf/
    If neither Firefox 3.6 nor Firefox 3.5 work, then please request your university to update their website.

  • I want to download the 'TRIAL' version of Acrobat 'Standard' not the 'Pro' version

    I want to buy the Acrobat Standard version for my company's laptop, but I need to make sure that Acrobat Standard is enough for my work or not. However, I can download only the Pro version of Acrobat which I don't need to. How can I have a trial version of Acrobat Standard

    Hi Nawanat,
    You cannot install a trial version of Acrobat Std. as it's not available.
    The main differences between Acrobat 11 Pro and Std. are http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    You can use the trial version of Pro for 30 days and compare the features you require and those you can afford to miss in the Std. version

  • I want to download the latest version of iTunes

    I want to download the latest version of iTunes from the internet rather than on the Apple software update...will i have to re-enter my account details in the iTunes i downloaded...plz help..!!

    It may only ask those details when making a transaction in the iTunes Store.
    It has nothing to do with reinstalling the application.
    I'm pretty sure about that, as sure as I am that no meteore will fall on my head today.
    But don't shoot me if it does.
    It will also not ask you to re-authorise the computer, if you're afraid about that.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open App Store > Purchases, and see if iPhoto app is listed. If not, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 Apart from that, check that iPhoto is in Applications folder. If not, put it in this folder.
    If nothing works, remove iPhoto, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto free of charge

  • After I downloaded the most recent versions of itunes and quicktime  I cannot play any videos, tutorials.  Thank you for any help.

    Videos will not play after downloading the mmost recent versions of Itunes and Quicktime.  What can I do?  The video tries to start but freezes and does not respond.

    Appreciate the suggestion.  I did the repair, but videos still don't play.
    I tried putting quicktime in "safe mode", but that also did not solve the video-play problem.
    However, I downloaded a video and that video does play.
    A video may start but quickly freezes.
    In itunes is the player "quicktime or itunes"?
    When I open the quicktime player(its appearance doesn't look like a player with controls for play, pause, etc.).
    Maybe the controls appear when play begins' however, then I try to open any song of video, I always get the same message:  "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer(in itunes, I assume).)
    If i choose "yes" I get an error message.
    I thought this additional information might be helpful, but you can just answer the original question if you have some additional ideas.
    Thanks for your help.

    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

    Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.
