Im considering Apple TV, but have a major question onn usefulness for my uses.

Hi all,
I was taking a serious look at Apple TV, but my goal is to purchase seasons of television shows which I see you can do in Itunes.
My goal is to purchase not rent, but If Iunderstand the new version of Apple TV right it has no HD for storage.  Does it store your purchases on a cloud now, or is it more or less strictly a rental only sort of device?
Thanks in advance!

I thought as much but wasn't aware of the streaming, still works well for my uses.. Thanks!
While I miss the onboard storage/purchasing  of AppleTV 1, in general I always streamed to them due to large library size.
To be honest, I never quite trusted the 'reverse sync' of purchases to iTunes after my AppleTv1 content inadvertently wiped itself once.
Having said that, the ability to browse the store was actually very handy for previewing and deciding what to buy.  TV and music video previews are often pretty representative of a purchase's quality, whereas for movies the quality tends to be better in general and you see an actual trailer not part of the film previewed.
I have actually sent feedback asking them to reinstate purchasing by allowing you to browse content and purchase but for the actual purchase to download directly to iTunes if running or to selected download library next time it's running - I'm sure this could be accomplished if they wanted to and would boost sales.

  • I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

    I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.  I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need.  I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use.  My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

  • My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage

    My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.

    Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
    This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
    And then an option for "Add another email..."
    Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
    Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
    So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT203167 I am trying to transfer itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a Macbook pro). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password.

    I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
    How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?

    You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

    I registration to apple ID but I can't got e-mail for verification. I log-in to manage your account on computer and resend to verification e-mail . I not got verification e-mail.com.

    This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.

  • I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

    I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

    Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
    I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

  • Considering moving to the Creative Cloud but have an important question...

    I'm considering moving to the Creative Cloud but have some concerns. if, for example, after spending 1500+ over the next three years on the Creative Cloud and by then, presumably at version CS9 or CS10, will I be able to continue using the CS9 or CS10 products as I would have, had I bought the retail software?
    I know if I continue to simply buy upgrades to retail items and stop at CS9 I will be able to use those products forever so I am not seeing the incentive here if that is the case.
    Your confirmation is much appreciated so that I can move on to decide on my next steps.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    No. It's an all-or-nothing exit policy at the moment.
    When you stop paying your monthly fee, you lose all access to Adobe software (unless you already own a pre-Cloud version which you can fall back on).
    Many requests have been made to relax the exit policy and permit users to perhaps pay a residual fee to keep using whichever version is current when they leave the Cloud. But that hasn't yet been offered by Adobe. Personally I don't expect it to ever be offered.
    PS how much will you spend on the retail versions over the next three years given that you must upgrade with every new version under Adobe's new upgrade policy introduced with the CS6 cycle? i.e you can no longer skip a version and still qualify for upgrade pricing next version.
    Licensing issues aside, in effect, you never really "own" the software if you want to stay current. Both Cloud and retail are now effectively subscription models.
    The choice really boils down to upfront $$ vs monthly $$.

    The primary incentive is full access to the entire Master Collection for a low monthly fee. Don't have to outlay thousands of dollars upfront.
    You also get:
    additional Cloud services (host up to 5 websites etc)
    multi-platform licenses (activate on Win/Win, Mac/Mac or Win/Mac for the same monthly fee. Retail items are single platform only)
    early access to new software features for Cloud members only. As soon as Adobe finishes writing and testing the code, Cloud members get it. Retail users must wait for CS6.5 or CS7. Depends if living on the bleeding edge of Adobe software interests you. As we all know, change is the only constant these days.
