Make a purchased movie smaller

I bought an HD movie in iTunes. The file size is huge. Can I make it smaller to fit on my iPad without taking up all my memory?

I don't think so. I bought it off iTunes so there is no way to get into it. I tried the "Create a new version for iPad" but it is greyed out.

It's telling you to verify your billing information (credit card, address, security code), which needs to be done in iTunes via computer.

How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them. I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
a) Impossible
b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)

If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new movies, will they be permanently lost or stored somewhere?

Problem: I don't have enough storage to download new movies. If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new content, will they be lost or stored somewhere?

It depends upon what country that you are in (it's not possible to re-download films in all countries), the film studio (some don't allow re-downloading), and whether they remain in the store (studios occasionally remove them from the store) - what you can currently re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad.
But you are better off first copying them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take you own backup copy of them before deleting them, rather than relying on being able to redownload them in the future (and the same applies to other downloaded content)

Have you tried the various "share" settings where you can export to various devices and therefore sizes?

Why did Apple remove the "All Movie" category from the purchased movies menu?

We have purchased over 200 moivies from itunes, and until the most recent software update we could always view all of our movies together on Apple TV. When you choose purchased movies the "All Movies" category is no longer available, it's been replaced by "Shared Movies" which would include movies purchased by your family members. Now the only way to play your purchased movies is to go to the different genres below, that is a problem because it's not easy to determine what genre the movies you want falls into....for example the Star Wars Movies series is divided in to two different categories, the same goes for all of our kids movies, they are in mutlipule categories which makes it hard to scroll throug multipule categories to find the movies you want. This seems like such a small thing, but really does make Apple TV much more complicated and frustrating to use. Please HELP Apple and bring the All Movies Category back! Thank you.

I sincerely doubt there's much thought gone into a retrograde user interface and experience

After updating Apple TV to iOS 5.1, the option to purchase movies disappeared

Since september, 24, hours after I updated to iOS 5.1, the option to purchase movies disappeared from the system. It happened to all the countries in south america as far as I have tried changing stores within my Apple TV. The issue was recurrent with the late iOS as well, but changing the store to the United States and changing it back to Brazil seemed to solve the problem, and the option to buy movies would simply reappear. But now this solution isn't working anymore. When I change stores to the United States the option to purchase movies is there. When I change it back to Brazil, though, it disappears again. Anyone having the same problem?

After more than a month, the issue persists. I sent an email to Tim Cook reporting this. The day after I sent it, some one contacted me from Apple and said Apple's engineers would take a look at it. The person informed she would call back with more information about the problem. She called back the subsequently 3 weeks. Every time to inform that they were still looking into it. At one time, she said they could not reproduce the issue, and actually mentioned they could see the purchase option, which I know isn't possible, considering they did pay attention to the context of this particualr issue. The last time this person called, I just didn't want to deal with it anymore, it was the third week in a row the person was calling to say the same thing. I'm really fed up with it. I even bothered to make a movie reproducing the problem and uploaded it to YouTube, than sent the link to the person, so she could show it to whomever is responsible for fixing this. I thought it would solve the problem, since the person informed they couldn't see it. It has been more than one week since I sent it, and the person called again to inform they received the email with the link to the video. But I really don't think anyone watched it. I kept the video off the searchabel option on YouTube, so it can only be watched by people who receive the link to it. And the number of times it has been watched is very small, approximately the number of times I visited it. I am under the impression this isn't a defect at all. I have reasons to believe this might be deliberately happening. USA, UK and Australia still have the options to buy movies on the Apple TV's iOS. There is no problem at all with our Apple TV's or their servers. They just locked us out. It is just a shame, because now I am sure they are aware of te problem and just don't really wanna do something about it. I mean, how hard can it be for Apple to fix such a strange and suspiciously selective problem?! It is also a shame the fact that they make us waste so much time! Really disappointing. Don't even bother trying to contact iTunes Support, they tried to convince me it is a problem with the harware. And as you might have read two posts above, they tried to convince geoffreyy it has something to do with licensing agreements limitations to some countries, which is not true. You can still purchase the same movies using the iTunes Store on a Mac, iPhone or iPad. It just disappeared from the Apple TV. If you buy a movie using, let's say, your iPad, it will be availabel to watch on the Apple TV through iTunes in the cloud, under the purcahsed section of the movies section on your Apple TV. This and other things that Apple has been doing lately to secondary markets all around the world is what makes me feel really ****** about Apple. They just don't care...

Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
Natalie

I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

I am having trouble downloading a previously purchased movie from the Cloud.

The movie in question is "The Mist." I have purchased a lot of movies from iTunes lately, and to save room on my Mac, I have moved all the movie files onto a portable hard drive and simply deleted them from my Mac. Thus, whenever I want to watch a movie, I just transfer it from my hard drive back onto my Mac no problem, and watch the movie. Somehow, "The Mist" got deleted from my hard drive, so I figured "No worries, I'll just download it from the Cloud and get the file back. I've done it before!"
iTunes does this frustrating thing where even if you delete the video file from your computer, the movie thumbnail still shows up in your movies library, and I guess the Cloud considers this as you still having the movie on your computer, because when I went to my purchase history, it said the movie was already downloaded on my computer, when in fact it was not (it also said this for all my other movies, which are not on my computer but on my PHD). Only after I deleted the thumbnail for the movie did it show up under "Not on this computer" and allow me to hit the download button. Then I get this message saying "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 80 days." It will not let me download my previously purchased movie!
I have already tried logging out and back in again, that did nothing. Do I seriously have to wait 90 days to redownload my movie again? Like, is that a thing? What if you have a hard drive wipe, and have to redownload everything from the Cloud again; would you seriously only be able to redownload all your movies in 90 day incriments? What if I need to redownload multiple purchased movies at once, do I have to wait 90 days in between each one?
Am I the only one having this problem? If so, any help would be appreciated.
If this is not a "problem" and merely a "thing" iTunes does for security reasons, then this is a complaint. I have legally purchased this movie under the same account that I'm currently trying to redownload it through, I find it ridiculous that I should have to wait 90 days; you don't have to wait this long for downloading multiple apps/songs/books. Alternatively, trying to redownload the movie from its store page on iTunes is not an option, because as far as I can tell, iTunes does not let you redownload already purchased movies from their store page, as with apps/songs/books. If you try to re-purchase a movie, in the hopes that it will simply let you download it for free, seeing as how you've ALREADY purchased it, instead it'll gladly charge you again for movie. So no, I am not willing to purchase the movie again, I would just like to re-download it from the Cloud as I've done with other movies before it. I don't know what makes this one different.

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Purchased movie wont play on apple TV

Hello
i purchased a movie yesterday on the Ituens store to play via airplay and apple tv on my TV but get a message there is a technical problme playing the movie. All my other movies which are not itunes movies play fine through apple TV o
on the TV screen I get the message you need to autorize your computer with Ituens store which is. Now could it be that I do not have a internet conection at home , do i need to be conected to internet to play this movie via apple tV which does not make sense as I can play it fine on the computer withouth being on the internet

I believe I am experiencing the same problem. When I try to stream iTunes-purchased movies from my iPad 2 to an Apple TV without Internet Connection (used only for AirPlay) I get the error "The operation could not be completed An unknown error occurred (3)"
Extremely frustrating and goes to show that you dont really own your iTunes movie given these use cases where you have to "phone home" to Apple for permission to play it. Add it to the long list of reasons we're better off grabbing these from torrent... Plays on any device, doesn't phone home, wider selection, etc. Eventually movies will get over their DRM fetish just like music did. Until the multi-millionaire executives get that through their thick heads, millions of people will continue to be frustrated and just pirate cuz it's such a better experience. And free, but that isn't even the issue for me.

HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader. I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card? They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card. I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time). If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine. Thanks for all the help

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.
Regards.

Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and iPod touch 4. No more, even before I upgraded to iOS6.

- Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can also redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

GW2012 move: Does it make sense to move users to a new PO?

Moving from GW8 on OES-NW to GW2012 on OES11: Does it make sense to create new post office and move users?
We have a medium size GroupWise 8 system with a single post office holding less than 600 user accounts, 128 resources and 77 distribution lists.
Due to politics we also have a non-GroupWise external domain that contains a non-GroupWise external post office with a large number of "users".
The post office is on the primary domain.
3 secondary domains hold a GWIA and two web access agents.
I've never been real clear where the external stuff exists...
One of the web access gateways resides on an OES11 server.
The other webaccess agent and the GWIA are on OES-NW servers.
All reside in NSS volumes.
Given the lack support for NSS volumes on Linux servers by most backup applications (including mine), I've pretty much determined that it makes sense to move my GW system to EXT3 volumes.
Even if I change backup software and stick with NSS, and even though all my data is stored on SAN arrays, from what I've read on the forums and from Danita's books, it's preferable to copy your GW system files to a new NSS volume, as opposed to just re-attaching the OES-NW LUN to the new OES11 server.
Point being, whatever I do will involve copying the entire system via dbcopy and at some point, will also involve shutting down the existing domain and PO for the last phase of the copying process.
So..., I'm contemplating the following scenario:
Create a new OES11 server with EXT3 volumes sufficient for holding my GroupWise system.
Create new GroupWise 8 domain on the server.
Promote the new domain to primary and upgrade this new domain to GroupWise 2012.
Once the new domain is upgraded, create new GW2012 post office on new server/primary domain and migrate the users, resources and distribution lists to the new post office.
In the past I've had an additional post office and had migrated a about 20-25 users to that post office.
It wasn't a terrible process, and fortunately, I didn't run into any problems with the migration of those users.
When I re-consolidated my system, moving them back was also problem free
On the pro side:
No downtime of entire system
Relatively simple
Any issues in the migration process would be user-specific and would not effect the entire system.
On the con side:
Process could take far longer, since you can't move a lot of users simultaneously.
In addition, we have a small group of users with anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 email in their account, so I'd have to factor that into haw many users I migrate at one time.
The chance of running into a stalled migration, for whatever reason, is probably much higher than running into a problem with moving the domain and PO via dbcopy.
The unknown factors for me and my level of experience:
It's been a while since I've had multiple post offices, so I don't recall what changes the users might see with regard to distribution lists, web access or external email.

Is there any reason you think that warrants to do so?
If the system is performing normally I'd opt to stick to upgrading the current setup as is.
I'm also curious, are you intending to upgrade to 2014 after the 2012 upgrade?

Ok, that setup makes the upgrade easier. As you will start the upgrade with the primary holding the PO's... the PO's can be upgraded right after or during the domain upgrade (depending on if the MTA and POA are running on the same server).
That means you don't have to think about upgraded webaccess/GWIA connectivity issues with a lower PO version.
The external stuff are simply configurations found in the existing GroupWise domain databases. Or do you mean where those connected systems actually run?

All reside in NSS volumes.
And the primary Domain and PO are also still on NetWare (version 6.5 SP8 I presume), correct?

Which backup application is that? With GroupWise op Linux not much NSS support is needed IMO.... as long as the files get backed up properly other metadata (rights, ownerships, etc) is irrelevant.
As for EXT3 vs NSS, when dealing with OES I always choose NSS. But that's me.
Another option could be to use XFS instead of ext3. That does perform much better, but has to be noted that it is more prone to file corruption in unexpected power loss situations.
With ext3, watch out for the scheduled filesystem check cycles at boot, that is one thing I really dislike about ext3 as disabling that check completely is not recommended and it means at least once a year the system will take an extensive amount of time to complete a (re)boot due to the check running on the ext3 filesystem. That usually pops up on you when you are not counting on it and "just quickly" want to reboot the server in a patching routine or other.

Yes, it's always good if you can start with a clean volume when transitioning from NetWare to OES.
Depending on how long you can afford to have the system down during upgrade, you can also choose the route of moving the NetWare LUN to the new OES server. Adding a second new LUN to the OES server with the needed size and initializing it with a new NSS volume and then just simply do a volume to volume copy using the cp of rsync command. As it's on the same server that can go quite quickly within an acceptable maintenance window to complete all move/upgrade steps.

Sure, though you don't necessarily have to use dbcopy... depending on what you are planning to do. An offline copy won't require it for example.
How much data are we talking about (in GB's)?

If you really want to move users.... sure. I'd again opt for upgrading the existing system.
Also, it's a good rule to have the PO's running the same GroupWise version and patchlevel before commencing user moves. Moves between PO's with a different GroupWise version can lead to issues.

If you would want to move users, for whatever reason, I'd opt to first upgrade to the latest version first, then move. There have been many enhancements and bugfixes made in the move procedure over these last couple of years.

I prefer a system upgrade over moving users. The process of moving when dealing with 100+ users, requires more effort and there are always things that need attention for a portion of the users. Also things like mobile devices can require some extra attention after having moved an account for example.
True, problems during a system upgrade can potentially affect all users. That is a factor. From the many upgrades I've done that's rarely really been an issue and problems encountered during an upgrade did not cause too much delay. Just make sure you always have a good full backup handy so you can reverse the upgrade if ever needed.

If by this you are referring to user moves and address book visibility between PO's, that should not be different to what users are seeing now. At least, the default is that within a GroupWise system all is visible throughout the system. If you have specifically set GroupWise objects to Postoffice visibility... then that would be something to check.
