ITunes Store - information on TV and Movie files

Is there anyway that one can find out the image size of the items in the iTunes store prior to purchasing them?
I would like to now if this TV show or that Movie is of a good size (read 720) and even perhaps what the data rate was before I buy something and then think, boy I should of just paid a little more got it on DVD.

When you download movies from iTunes, you get near DVD-quality, 640-by-480-pixel video
Well "near" is a relative (also a subjective term) and don't mean squat. My computer is set to 1920 and my TV is 1280 so 640 isn't of much use. This only begins to start the subject of quality. I don't expect a file to be as good as I can get by using a disc for the delivery format but I'm not buying stuff to watch on my phone. My phone, odd as it may sound, is for phone calls. If the Apple TV is going to go anywhere you need quality product to play on it. If others want to watch stuff on a 3" screen well ok but I would want to know if I'm buying stuff for a 3" screen or a 24" or 32" screen.
Don't people care what color they're shoes are when they buy them, or if they fit?

Hi I am Del

Thanks

Have you paired your Apple Tv with your iTunes account? That's how rentals and purchases are billed. If, however, you have already done that it is possible that there is a glitch in the system. I've had that happen occasionally and it usually goes away if I reset Apple Tv. On one occasion that I didn't work so I had to go to iTunes and deauthorize and then authorize this computer. Also, check to see if your Home Sharing is on (under File in iTunes). Hope that helps.

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

could it be in the itunes folder or does it have to be in the itunes media folder, which is within the itunes folder??
A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

Whenever I turn on my Apple TV, it get an error message that says Go to itunes store on your computer and get your password.

Whenever I turn on my Apple TV, it get an error message that says "Have you forgot your password. You have attempted to log in too many times. Go to itunes store on your computer and get your password". I have logged into itunes store on my computer, but I don't know what to do next. I accessed my account on itunes store hoping that would give me a pasword or other useful information, but no help. What am I supposed to do?

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

Does the iTunes Store still have $4.99 movies?

Does the iTunes Store still have $4.99 movies? If they do, how do you find them? It seems that the iTunes Store no longer links to discounted movies.

Thanks to Jesse M for the "See all >>" suggestion, which is better than nothing, and to iNexxFear for all your hard work, but I absolutely need the search results to come up with full functionality. The possibility of searching painstakingly by separate categories for Composer, Album etc. merely puts me at the mercy of the overworked, undereducated interns who have to type in such information, unaided of course by iTunes' hopelessness at categorising anything other than pop songs.
However, I've found a fantastic solution of my own. It's called Amazon. Only 69p a track. Searching isn't perfect, but it's far better than this appalling leap backwards by Apple.
Yes, I'm upset. But I see the thin end of a wedge that's turning Apple into Microsoft.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

I want to transfer my photo and movie files from my iPhone to my Mac OS X (10.5.8).
But I don't want to use Cloud or iTunes.
Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to my Mac directly,
say ... via a program or such on my MAC, to drag and drop the photos and Movie files,
directly into a folder. ??????????

I have no DATA on my iPhone Mobile plan at moment.

I can download a Photosync to my MAC ...
but with the Photosync app you can only send data.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.
