Just bought my itv - what's the rub with Canada?

I just bought my itv and love the idea... i'm sure I'm not alone as a Mac junkie in Canada - i've just placed an order for the time machine... Why can't we rent movies. Is this a priority for you? or is it a long time down the road? I'm really disappointed... I would have preferred to look into the product more closely, buy I bought into the flashy advertising on my apple home page.
I clearly would like to be able to participate. It seems strange. I suspect there may be a problem with Canadian regulators... any information would be helpful.
What's up?

Welcome to the club. I've had the ATV since day one in Canada and all I can say is things have improved with the addition of TV shows finally. I think we'll get movies and rentals this year at some point. Nothing to do with regulators at all (you'll see lots of uninformed blaming the CRTC - which is completely false). The issue is rights and who gets the dough. Once they iron those out - we get content - just like TV when it finally arrived. Add to this our small market size and you can understand why we are not always at the top of the list....
We love ours and I plan to get a second unit - so hang in there!

  • PHotoshop Elements 12 won't install on either my Windows 7 computer or my Surface Pro 2 -- Lightroom installed just fine...what's the problem with PS Elements??

    I've never had any issues installing software from a dvd onto the Surface Pro 2 or my windows 7 laptop-- why won't PS Elements 12 install on either of these machines??

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed PSE 12 on my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems several times without any problem. (I keep doing the re-installs to test problems for other users).
    You were running as an administrator weren't you?
    I have also known problems with some Internet Security suites and the recommendation is to disable them while installing PSE.
    Since you are not mentioning any error message, you could have a duff DVD which is why I suggested trying the download. The download and the DVD are the same program.
    The main problems seems to be signing in and getting the serial number to work but you aren't reporting those faults.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter in Bali Indonesia needs a new phone. How can I get the 4s unlocked so I can send it to her for her use over there ?

    Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter lives in Bali, Indonesia. Needs a new phone and I would like to send it to her, rather than any other option. I was told it had to be unlocked to use internationally. What do I do, to make this possible. ?

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to ask
    if they provide unlocking and if you qualify. Apple does not unlock
    iPhones; only wireless carriers can unlock iPhones locked to their
    respective networks.

  • I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

    I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
    Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

    Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
    I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
    Try this (maybe you already have):
    -Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
    -Do not connect drive but turn it on
    -wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
    -plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
    This is an old drive and may have some timing
    issues.
    I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago.  It
    worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.

  • I have always used microsoft word, we just bought a mac, what program should I now use?

    I have always used microsoft word, we just bought a mac, what program should I now use?

    You can use Microsoft Office for Mac, one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice or Apple's iWork suite of apps. The iWork apps - Keynote (presentation), Pages (word processing & page layout) & Numbers (spreadsheet) are available individually from the Mac App Store. There are also versions for iOS available separately. And, coming this fall, iWork for iCloud.

  • I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

    I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
    I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That  won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
    I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
    Please help

    Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
    That is if your problem is described correctly.

  • HT2477 Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad

    Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?

    It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
    Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key.

  • Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.
