Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie?

Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie purchased from iTunes and keep them both in your iTunes library? I want to watch the 1080p version on my 3rd gen Apple TV and the 720p version on my 4th gen iPod Touch? 
So far, I have downloaded 720p versions and the only way I can get 1080p is to delete the 720p version I have and then redownload the 1080p from the cloud.  I want to keep the 720p version and also have the 1080p version.

I ended up getting the proper response from iTunes Support. I forgot to share it with everyone else. Here is how you download both versions of the videos:
iTunes only lets you download one version of a video at a time. As a work around, I would like you to try the following:
- Download the 1080p version of the video first
- Then remove the 1080p version of the video from your iTunes library and save it somewhere else on your computer.
- Now that you have removed the 1080p version go to the iTunes > Preferences > Store
- Change the HD version "when downloading HD videos, prefer."  to  720p
- Go to purchase page, the 720p version should download.

  • How can I download both 720p and 1080p versions of TV shows and movies?

    I have iTunes set to download the 1080p versions of movies and TV shows, but I still have a 2nd generation Apple TV that can only show 720p. How can I setup iTunes to download both HD versions? It also seems that when I have iTunes in the Cloud turned on, it doesn't allow me to redownload any of my HD content again.
    I also need the 720p version because of the older versions of the iPod I still have.

  • Cannot download both 1080 and 720 versions of purchases

    Hello Everyone,
    Hoping someone can help me out with this. I want to download both the 720 and 1080 versions of my purchases and in iTunes 10.x it was no problem, just download one, change the store preferences and download the other resolution.
    Now with 11, when I switch the resolution is shows two file sizes in my purchased (on 1080 it shows just one) but will not let me download the lower resolution.
    Anyone know what is going on or if there is a work around?

    In Preferences, Store changing the
    When downloading High Definition videos, prefer
    Set this to 720p
    Go back to purchased in the itunes store and it should allow you to download a 72o version.
    As the !)80 and 720 have different filenames you can have both side by side

  • Prevent movies from being downloaded twice (720p and 1080p)

    I noticed that iTunes downloaded each of my purchased movies twice. I guess it's the 720p version and the 1080p version.
    Anyways as my SSD is getting full I'm wondering if there is a way to just download the 1080p version. I don't feel like deleting the second download every time I buy a movie.

    Well the problem is that every movie gets downloaded twice. See the attached screenshots ...

  • TS3354 I downloaded a HD and SD version of the movie and can't play it on my 1st generation Apple TV

    I bought a HD version of a movie and it won't play on my 720 p TV or WIndows PC, then I went back and re-downloaded the SD version of the movie. Now the SD version will play on my Windows computer, but it still won't play on my 1st generation Apple TV.

    AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
    Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
    You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
    NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes.  If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

  • I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone?

    I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone? Insight appreciated.

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • Downloading both the HD and SD versions of a movie

    Usually when I purchase an HD movie, I get both an HD and an SD version.  That's good because a familiy member has an older ipod that only plays the SD versions.  However, for the Bee movie, when I made the purchase, I only got the HD version.  They seel and SD version in the movie store, so I know that both exist.  When I go to the "purchased" section of the iTunes store, it says that the Bee movie is Downloaded.
    How do I download the SD version of the movie so that I have both?

    You can redownload it anyway.If you are unable to, contact support:

  • Possible to use both Tabular and Multidimentinal with same SharePoint 2013 farm?

    I would like to build SharePoint 2013 based reporting portal with Power View as visualization tool.
    Is it possible to install both Tabular and Multidimentional to same physical server?
    Is it possible that some Power View reports use tabular and others multidimentional?
    Could above requirement work in production environment? Anybody tried?
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    According to your description, you are going to create a PowerView report using SQL Server Analysis Services Multidimensional database or SSAS tabular model as data source in SharePoint 2013, now what you want to know is that is it possible to install both
    Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server? And is it possible that some Power View reports use tabular and others Multidimensional?
    Of course we can install both Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server that had SharePoint 2013 installed. In my tested environment, I have installed all of them on the same server. And we can use tabular model and others Multidimensional database
    on individual PowerView report. However, it seems that we cannot use both tabular model and others Multidimensional database on the same Powerview report.
    Even though we can install both Tabular and Multidimensional to same physical server, however in the production environment, the recommendation is that install them on different server, it will beneficial to troubleshooting the issue when some issue occur
    on the environment.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • My Mac OS X version is 10.6.8. I'd like to download Pages, but my computer cannot support its latest version. As I don't intend to upgrade my computer anytime soon, is it possible to buy an older (and compatible) version of Pages anywhere?

    Holvi,
    You will probably be able to find the iWork'09 DVD at Amazon or similar online vendor. Install from the DVD and immediately run Software Update to get to the latest version.
    The Terms of Use here dictate that we test our suggestions before posting, but obviously I'm not going to try this myself, so there's an element of risk, but it seems your only option. It has worked for users in the past, but you never know how OS upgrades can change such things. If you go this route, please post back with your results.
    Good luck,

  • Is it useful to download both CC and CC 2014 soft versions or should I keep only the CC2014 version

    Is it useful to download both CC and CC 2014 soft versions or should I keep only the CC2014 version and uninstall the CC version?
    Because it is quite heavy to keep both versions of all the softs.
    Thanks in advancefor your answer

    If there are features you need that were dropped in CC2014, such as the oil paint filter, then by all means install both.  Personally, I have uninstalled CC as well as CS 6 and earlier.  I can always reinstall if I need them.  Having only one installed version makes inter-program operations much simpler, as the OS knows just which program to use for opening a .PSD, for example.

  • I have downloaded both photoshop and in InDesign, but I cannot access them. What do I do?

    I have downloaded both apps and the cloud does not give me an option to launch or use the applications. When I click on the name of either app, it brings me online where it says 'download now'. When I click on this, it brings me back to the cloud (where it says I have already downloaded it). It brings me back and forth and I cannot access either app in order to use it.

    The applications aren't in the cloud, they are on your hard drive.
    If you've downloaded the apps, they will be installed where applications are always stored on your computer. You didn't tell us what operating system you're using. If you are using a Macintosh, they will be installed into you Applications folder. Just launch them from there.

  • Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

    When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
    Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
    Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
    AVC vs h.264
    One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
    Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
    Other sizes are fine
    Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
    Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
    I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4.  Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
    Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
    I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
    Some examples for download
    I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
    Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
    Update
    I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.

    Bahi,
    just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
    You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
    Next is Snow Leopard:
    Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
    Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.
