Last episode of Lost from ITMS is distorted

Wondering if the last ep of Lost out tonight was digitized too hot - mine sounds distorted. I know it's not my system because the rest of them sound fine... any ideas?

Well, I got yet another e-mail after I kept re-writing Apple over this issue. This time I got an e-mail from Joanna. Apparently they are not going to do anything further to fix "The Long Con" episode and are going to assume that it is the end users fault that the audio is distorted.
"I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with this video. However, we have investigated the issue you have reported with this episode of Lost and there we found no problem to be associated with this video or it's audio.
The nature of this question falls outside the type of support provided via email by the iTunes Music Store team. The Music Store team answers non-technical questions about billing, customer accounts, downloading music, and Music Store content."
What I don't understand is why they keep saying they don't answer non-technical questions. Who should we be asking the technical answers to?
At this point I've asked for a refund on my purchase of "The Long Con". Mostly due to the frustration that Apple is surrounding this issue with. I think you all should ask for a refund.

Sound distortion in most recent episode of Lost

Hi all,
the most recent episode of Lost plays on my Apple TV with really bad sound distortion starting from 4.23 and continuing to the end.
I have a series pass so the episode downloaded onto my Apple TV. The file that has synched with my Mac plays fine in iTunes. I've changed the sync options to remove that ep of Lost from the appletv and then synched back, but it still does it. The episode is Lost s6 e6 'Sundown'. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't want to watch it on my laptop, I really need it to work on the Apple TV!
Thanks
Caspar

Not the best solution, but at least you'll be able to watch this episode on the Apple TV.
Either:
Switch Dolby Digital Out to Off in Apple TV's setting. The episode will then play the Stereo AAC track instead (which is fine, btw). Problem is, you'll have to switch Dolby Digital Out back on if you want surround sound back for other content.
Or:
Download an App called Subler.
Open the HD Episode of Lost in Subler.
You'll see that subler lists the video track and two audio tracks. The Digital surround track is not ticked, but this normal and is not the cause of the 'static problem'
Select the surround track and click the delete button.
Save the file and re-sync to Apple TV.
It will now play in stereo.

I found how to delete a series from my ipad, but it still won't download the last episode of the new series I am trying to have. What have I done wrong?

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

Ethernet Network ATV lost from iTunes and it wont come back!!!

Hi everyone
Had this happen a couple of times now.
I've got a 160GB ATV connected to a 1080P display. Mac Mini is host for all things iTunes. All software is latest versions incl. ATV. ATV is connected to network via ethernet as is Mac Mini.
Most of the time if the Mac Mini is restarted and iTunes restarted it will appear again in the ATV Sources menu as highlighted and the ATV will appear in the iTunes sources list. However, this is the second time now that it has been lost from the sources and I can't get it back!!!
The first time it happened I just turned off syncing and reset the connection but there is now loads of stuff to go back and the syncing will take forever! Also slightly annoying is that a lot of the video content is TV shows recorded using EyeTV throughout the week and I have noticed that the ATV does not date TV shows according to when they added to iTunes rather it dates them when the are synced so that that makes life difficult when trying to watch episodes in order. Therefore I would like to avoid having to re-sync everything from scratch if I can!
Is there any way I can force ATV to show up in the devices list?
FYI The first time it happened, I seemed to lose iTunes Sharing completely - not even my PowerBook could pick up the shared Mac Mini library but this time it is different. The Mini sees the PowerBook and vice versa but the ATV is completely excluded.
The ATV can be pinged and it can see the internet and YouTube etc but NOT the Mac Mini it seems. I have restarted everything, reset everything I can think of and turned off the firewall but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Looks like you've done all the obvious things - quite irritating I would imagine.
I may be wrong but I think the problem is more one of iTunes not seeing the AppleTV rather than AppleTV not being to access the Mac. Your YouTube/Movie tariler functionality as you probably know is independent of iTunes as the AppleTV connects directly to the internet, not via iTunes.
Looks like you may need to go down the route of disabling syncing and re-syncing unfortunately - though it's probably quicker to restart everything again a few times first just in case.

Does anyone know what time the last episode of Breaking Bad starts streaming

Deos anyone know what time the last episode of Breaking Bad starts streaming on itunes?

A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

I've bought the season 1 of "The Wire" (7episodes), when I synchronize with my PC, it only charge the first and last episodes and not the 5 episodes in between ??

I've bought the season 1 of "The Wire" (7episodes), when I synchronize with my PC, it only charge the first and last episodes and not the 5 episodes in between ??

Hello spinozette,
I am sure you are eager to download and watch Season 1 of The Wire. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the episodes do not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the episodes from the list of past purchases. You can find the steps to do this in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the rest of the season, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HT5070 why hasn't the last episode of futurama become available

Is anyone else having this issue? I purchased season 10 of Futurama. Although I received the email stating that the new episode was available for dl, I had to use the email link to dl it. When I checked for available dl's in iTunes, it would state that all purchases had been dl'd which was not the case. Also, the last episode of the season/series is not available yet I assume I paid for it along with the season. What is up? Any help appreciated.

Just responding to my own question. I just got a notice from Apple that the episode is now available. Maybe someone on the iTunes team saw my message? If so, thanks!
I'm downloading the file now and look forward to watching it.

Songs from itms won't play on nano

It will play songs that I've ripped from cd, but nothing downloaded from itms. Seems like the ipod got "de-authorized" somehow.
I did a reset, but this didn't fix it.
Can anyone help out? Thanks.

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Customer Exit to get last day of month from Year/month

Hi Experts,
I need to create a customer exit to get the last day of month from Cal Year month input variable.
Examples
1)
User input period: 12.2008
I need from the customer exit: 31.12.2008
2)
User input period: 02.2009
I need from the customer exit: 28.02.2009
Can someone help me with the ABAP code to achieve this with a customer exit?
Help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Please use the following code,
Second one is the suitable solution for you, I can understand that, if it leafe year then you have the problem so use the secon one.
First one is using Period i.e. 010.2008 (December 2008).
Secodn one is based on Date/Month.
Note: Insted of SY-DATUm, you give your variable name
*******To get the Last day of the Fy Period entered by User in ZFYP***
    WHEN 'ZLDAY_FI'.
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZFYP'.
        zbdatj = loc_var_range-low+0(4).
        zbuper = loc_var_range-low+4(3).
        CALL FUNCTION 'LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET'
          EXPORTING
            i_gjahr = zbdatj
            i_periv = 'V3'
            i_poper = zbuper
          IMPORTING
            e_date = zzdate.
        CLEAR: l_s_range.
        l_s_range-low = zzdate.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDLOOP.
Note: in the below code I given SY-DATUM, so you change to your Month Variable like using
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'XXXX'.
** Last Day of Current Calendar month
      zzdate = sy-datum.
      CALL FUNCTION '/OSP/GET_DAYS_IN_MONTH'
        EXPORTING
          iv_date = zzdate
        IMPORTING
          ev_days = znum.
      CLEAR: l_s_range.
      l_s_range-low+6(2) = znum.
      l_s_range-low+0(4) = sy-datum+0(4).
      l_s_range-low+4(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
Thanks

Music bought from iTMS skipping

So, I bought an album on the iTunes Music Store.
Two of the tracks suffer from skipping. I reported the error (there's even an option in the drop-down menu that says "This item sounds or looks bad"), and got the most useless customer service answer ever:
"Your request for a refund was carefully considered; however, according to our Terms of Sale, all purchases made on the iTunes Store are ineligible for refund. This policy matches our refund policies and provides protection for copyrighted materials."
So, I buy something from iTMS. Get a broken product. And is told "Hey, it's your problem, that we didn't deliver what you paid for".
I didn't ask for a refund. Actually, I would just like non-skipping versions of the tracks.
With this kind of customer service, iTMS will not be "eligible" for any more of my money.

A workaround is to burn the album to CD then rip it back to the computer. This removes the DRM without any noticeable loss in quality (if you use a decent bitrate).
In the UK I believe this is technically legal as long as it's for personal use, other countries may vary.
You may also want to ask the N900 owners on the meamo board if they know of a proper way to play DRM'd tracks on the N900.

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

The photos could have gone a couple of different places ...but it is unlikely that they are lost forever. It kind of depends how your Backup was done. With many Computer-based iTunes connections, your Computer Photo App will actually open first when you connect your iPhone and the photo transfer will happen between the iPhone and the App. Assuming that isn't what happened in your case, but you did Backup on iTunes, you could reconnect to iTunes and then click on your iPhone button on the Computer screen ...typically the iTunes Summary screen will show up ...but you can tab-through the various iTunes Screens and find the Photo page. You could check your options and see if you have a Manual Sync setting regarding iTunes to iPhoone ...this would mean you have to select the Photos you want to download to the iPhone during the Sync.

HT4859 how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

Documents do not get lost, they do get deleted. If you deleted - you need to look for local back up.
If you "lost" you need to check if they still in the cloud at icloud.com
