Movies selection by rating, actor, genre - have apple missed something?

Look, am I missing something or can Apple not be bothered developing the software for the ATV? I am loading movies and realised there is no other way of selecting a movie appart from the A-Z list, how daft if that? Yet iTunes has a genre tab and you can create a playlist for movies (which wont then copy to the ATV!). Should it also not limit covers for those movies that meet the parenal controls, some covers should not be seen, eg horror for instance. So come on Apple, the id tags are there let's use them so we can select by rating, actor, genre, year etc...

Yeah.. Genre is there so as long as your movies are tagged with a genre, you will see Genres above the A-Z list of movies when you go to the My Movies section. (you didnt say you were doing this, but if you are encoding movies use Meta-X for tagging... thats all I will say, just google it fill in the rest)
As far as being able to list by Actor, Rating, Year, and the rest it wouldn't suprise me if that gets added at some point. Thats the great thing about apple tv is that if you are missing a feature now, you might see it sooner or later.
Wanna "bother" apple about developing a feature enhancement? do it here:

You might think they don't listen, but they did add music video playlists in 2.2! maybe one day we'll see movie playlists...

    Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
    But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers

    I have just put my mates birthday in his contact along with his E mail, address and so on.

  • I haven't received any email contact from Apple after submitting my first podcast. Have a missed something?

    I've managed to create my first podcast and was informed from others that upon posting to the iTunes store, Apple would send an email confirming it has received the podcast and another about 24 hours later confirming it has been indexed and providing a link to make it live.
    As of yet, I've received none, including checking my junk emails.
    The podcast shows up when clicking File > Subscribe to a podcast and entering in the RSS feed url, yet when clicking on the podcast and selecting > Show in iTunes Store, it yields no results. As a result, you can't search for the podcast in the iTunes Store or provide a direct link to it.
    I'm using Libsyn as the RSS host (http://processtheprocess.libsyn.com/rss) and Feedburner(http://feeds.feedburner.com/ProcessTheProcess).
    The "Subscribe with iTunes" on the Feed Burner page works and provides a link to download the podcast, but I'd like for it to be searchable on iTunes before continuing.
    Is there a logical explanation to this and have I missed an important step along the way?

    When you submit a feed you should get an ackowledgment email. After that it can take a couple of weeks for your podcast to be accepted (24 days is wildly optimistic) at which point you should be sent another email giving you the Store page URL. The emails may possibly have gone missing in transit, but that wouldn't prevent your podcast eventually going live as you don't have to do anything further. However the ability to locate a podcast through Search usually takes a further period, making it more difficult to discover whether the podcast is up or not.
    You could try emailing Support as podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking about this, but it's quite likely you won't get a specific reply.
    One possible test is to try submitting the feed again. If it has been registered as submitted you will be told that it has already been submitted, which will at least tell you that it's in process.

  • Have I missed something?

    Our company is in the process of changing our pay system so we get our statements from a website. I have downloaded AR 9.1,
    but I am still unable to see the statements. Did I miss something in the download? I'm running Windows XP Home Edition w/SP3.
    Thanks iin advance for your help.

    Pat,
    Thanks for your help. We are in the process of changing pay systems at work,
    where we will go to a website to print our statements. After I got
    everything set up,
    I went to the wehsite to print my statements. The site opens, but instead
    of a statement, I just get a blank box with a red X in the upper left
    corner. I upgraded to AR 9.1
    but it wouldn't install at first. I uninstalled the version I had, stopped
    my virus program just in case, and re-installed AR 9.1 from the website. I
    can access the website,
    but when I go to the statement, I'm continuing to get a blank box with the x
    in the corner. My working system is XP Home Edition, and I have plenty of
    space to run the
    program with no complications. Any help and suggestions are greatly
    appreciated.

  • How to move selected photos to iCloud (I have 29Gb photos and 15Gb iCloud storage)?

    Hi
    I have 29Gb photos and I can't back them all up in my 15Gb iCloud storage.
    How to move some of them to iCloud?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello MagStock,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It is not possible to save photos to iCloud directly.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
    No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.

    iCloud also stores all your photos recently added to your devices in My Photo Stream.

  • Anyone else have Apple miss a guaranteed Christmas delivery date?

    Anyone else order an iPad 2 for a Christmas present, with a guaranteed deliver date by Christmas and Apple delivers on the 27th?

    I certainly understand your disappointment, but the fact remains that there is nothing that you can do about it. It is out of your hands and out of Apple's hands as well. I had young children at one point - many years ago - and in order to not run into this type of situation, I would purchase those "hot and hard to get your hands on" purchases in early Novemebr or as soon as they became available on the market.
    I can't tell what Apple's guarantee means exactly but I would have to assume that this guaranteed delivery could only mean under any circumstances that they can control. FedEx has the guaranteed overnight delivery - if you are willing to pay for it - but if the plane crashes that your package is being transported on - what good is the guarantee in that case? I can telll you what the guarantee is in that case - you don't have to pay for the delivery - that is all that it means.
    No company can guarantee anything that might is beyond their control. Once again, I do understand your disappointment and that the child will be disappointed as well, But consider it a lesson learned and move on. You can go back and forth until the cows come home discussing "what the guarantee means" but it will not help your situation at all.

  • Have Apple done something to disable Time Capsule as a media server?

    Hi Guys,
    Ever since I bought my Time Capsule I've used it as a media server for my iMac and two family MacBook Airs. The reasons are simple. It enabled all three Macs to access music in iTunes, store photos, video and correspondence. Plus it frees up a huge amount of space on each Mac and saves on duplication.
    I also have a USB external connected to my Time Capsule so I can run a routine back-up to ensure our media files are never lost through a TC failure. All well and good.
    I have included the TC in my Login items so it always appears on my desk at start up making it instantly available. This has worked fine up until recently and the volume has always been accessible like any other external hard drive. Now however I get a message on start-up effectively saying that the alias cannot find the original. Even if I try to 'fix' the alias I cannot access my media files.
    I can see the TC in my Finder and when I try to access it I can only see it as a Sharepoint. In the meantime my iTunes is defaulting to the standard library folder and I can't access my thousands of photographs.
    What is going on? Do I need to set something up differently or is this an Apple attempt to nail us to using TC as a Time Machine back up only?
    Really fed up... :-/
    Cheers
    rich

    As far as I'm aware there have been two updates to Airport/TC software/hardware yet I still cannot get my TC to mount on my desktop except as a 'sharepoint'. If I double click the icon it tells me the alias can't find the original item.
    This makes it really awkward to use as I appear to have to disconnect and reconnect the TC until it lists the contents in a Finder window.
    I'm thinking about binning the TC altogether and getting one of those LG NAS drives with a Blu-Ray burner built in. Does anyone have any user experience with these?
    Does anyone from Apple ever read these pages? Surely they can fix this? I only inherited it after updating to Snow Leopard and indeed I'm still running Leopard on another partition and the TC works exactly as it should.
    It isn't exactly a cheap piece of kit to just dispose of (especially in 1TB guise) and I really see no reason why that decision is being forced upon me because of a glitch in a purchased Apple software upgrade.
    Come on Apple, sort it out!
    Cheers

  • Photo gallery Pages cant go "Under" another page or have i missed something

    Seems any Photo Gallery page you make always stays at the top level. You don't seem to be able to make say a blank Page and create 3 gallery pages UNDER that page.
    What I'd like to do is create a top page called Photo Galleries and in there put 3 photo gallery pages
    One called Picture Art, One Garden Art and one Commisioned. UNDER each of these pages I'd like to have 3 Galleries.
    The reason I want to do this is to make it easier for people to find exact catagories when they visit my site.

    You don't seem to be able to make say a blank Page and create 3 gallery pages UNDER that page.
    Yes, you can.
    Add a My Photoalbum page. In it you can add photopages.
    You can drag existing photopages into the My albums page.
    It's all there. Visible and ready to use.

  • New battery will not charge - have we missed something obvious?

    My DD has just replaced the battery on her PB. When the power supply (less than 3 months old) is attached, the led shows amber but the battery will not charge. I've tried reseating the battery with no effect. Since I purchased it from an apple dealer, I'll be taking it back tomorrow, but I wondered whether there is something obvious we've missed.
    Thanks
    Jennifer

    Thank you both. Yes I know the battery needs to be calibrated, but as you say, to calibrate, you need to charge, which is a non-starter. I'm going to take the whole thing in (again). I suspect the problem that led to the battery needing to be replaced possibly dealt a death blow to something inside. I don't know whether this is relevant, but before replacing the battery, the charger started to make a loud buzzing noise (I understand - I wasn't here), and with the old battery in place the PB kept freezing and/or rebooting. Only with the battery out and just the power supply in would the PB work. The PB is seeing the new battery, it just wont charge it. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I could do before taking it in.

  • Will SharePoint 2010 ever work with IE 64bit or have I missed something?

    Hi is there any update that might allow me to use SharePoint 2010 with IE 64bit?
    Useful things like uploading multiple files and File Explorer are missing from the options when opening with 64bit IE 9 / 10

    Hi,
       Some functionality in SharePoint Server 2010 requires the use of ActiveX
    controls. This produces limitations on browsers which do not support ActiveX. Currently only 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer support this functionality. All other browsers have the following limitations. It is not supported in IE 64 bit as of now. Please

  • Have I been mis sold or am I missing something?

    I'm confused. I called bt for a quote for phone tv and broadband. I was quoted for the tv essential package. I can't remember conversation but obviously I confirmed sport channels were included as this justifies the price in my eyes from leaving sky.
    Fast forward and I have it all up and running but no sport. Called the other day, spoke to technician who said he couldn't activate it so he transferred me to another department. Lady told me she had ordered it and I'd get it on my tv within 48 hours. 4 days later I've no sport so called again. Again I'm told he can't activate it so transferred me to same department.
    Now she has just told me that sport is not included on the tv in my package as I don't have infinity, only on the app. She said I have not been mis sold as I wasn't told I could get it on the tv. But how am I to know that I could only have it on the app, why wouldn't the guy say to me on the phone that I'd only get it on the app or website?? On the bt main page where you choose your package, it states that bt sport on bt tv is available as a bolt on. When you then click on start my order, it states that this bolt on is free.
    This has now been referred to another department so they can listen to the original sales call. I've also asked them to listen to the call 4 days ago when the other bt woman told me she had activated the sports on my tele. I am very confused and wondering have I missed something very simple here or are they advertising it badly?

  • HT1600 I have Apple TV version 7.4.2 and we pressed on the remote the select button and the menu button at the same time to update our software.  The box shows white light, we can get the screen to select netflix but nothing will move and the box will not

    I have Apple TV version 7.4.2.  We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did.  Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off.  If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away.  I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference.  Please advise. 

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • HT1657 i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch?

    i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in on my macbook and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch?  Is there somewhere you can find rented movies that I'm not seeing? 

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.
