NO 1080p Films in the UK iTunes Store? Why

Can someone please tell me why there is a discrimination against UK  v US Customer's on the iTunes Store?
Most movies in the US Store are available at 1080p, yet the same film in the UK store is only available at 720p.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks

Apple has not said, so your guess is as good as ours. Licensing granted by the movie studios, most likely. All we can say with any certainty is that they're not available at this time, and the same applies in many other countries.
Regards.

  • 1080p movies on the UK iTunes store

    Hi all,
    Has anyone found any 1080p movies on the UK iTunes store yet? I had a look last night after doing all the updates and all I could find were 720p ones.
    Thanks,
    Ross

    you wont find new 1080p movies till they are released but you can download them from purchased tab. i already have redownloaded a few 1080p already.

  • Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

    Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
    Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV?  Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
    You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT204411 I am in Australia and wish to purchase a movie in the USA itunes store and download it to my windows 7 computer. Can anyone help?

    I am in Australia and wish to purchase a movie in the USA itunes store and download it to my windows 7 PC. Can any one help?

    You can only buy content from your own country's store, to buy from the US store you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the film be added to the Australian store, but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How can I download an app only appearing on the German iTunes store onto my German iPad which is registered in the U.S. iTunes store? G

    I am an American living in Germany, and own a German iPad.  It has the ability to connect both to WIFI and to a commercial over the air wireless network.For the latter connection, I want to use a pay by use (by the day, or by the month) account offered by ALDI, a German discount grocery store. This would be ideal for occasional use when away from home. 
    My iPad is registered with the U.S. iTunes store, so that I can purchase American items such as books, movies, TV serites, etc. in English with U:S: Dollars.
    However the ALDI app is not available on the U.S. iTunes store, i.e. it is only available on the German iTunes store.
    I have purchased the ALDI SIM card for my iPad, but need the ALDI app in order to make it work.
    Yes, I know ALDI has stores in the U.S., but they do not offer the app I need to connect to the applicable German wireless cell phone network that is based in Germany.
    I need to find a way to put the German app onto my German iPad, but do not want to switch to the German iTunes store from the American iTunes store. 
    I could put the SIM card in a smart phone to activate it and also to recharge it with purchased time, but would need to find a way to tell the iPad to connect to the Web via the SIM card.
    I have a radio device which holds a SIM card and plugs into the USB port on my Microsoft Windows systuem laptop computer, and it works like a charm.  however, when I set it up, it downloaded software onto my laptop - or maybe only to the SIM card - not sure. To logon, when it is plugged into my laptotp, a program opens and I have to insert a password in order to activate the connection, which uses credit loaded onto the chip.
    Can anybody solve this problem?

    You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

    I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.  John. Australia.

    You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
    Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

  • HT1541 How do I recall a gift card purchased in the US itunes store and resend it to a Canadian itunes store?

    I purchased a gift card from the US itunes store, however the receipient of the card lives in Canda and says that he is unable to use the US Itunes gift card in the Canada Itunes store, how do I solve this problem?

    You cannot.
    A U.S card can only be used in the U.S.
    Maybe you can use the card and send money to canada.

  • How can I purschase music in the France itunes store if my account is in Canada, Can I make two accounts with the same billing information ?

    I want to buy music in the France itunes store but my account is made in Canada is there a solution to this? Because I want to buy albums that are not in the canadian itunes store.

    You need to be in a country to use its store, so you can't buy content from the French store unless you are in France with a France billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the music be added to the Canadian store, but unless the record company/rights-holder agrees to it then Appl won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

  • HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

    Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

    You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same.  If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs.  If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7).  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data.  Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

  • When I try to go to the volume purchasing website in Safari it opens up the regular iTunes store.  When I click on the same URL on my PC, it goes to the volume purchasing site.  How can I get my iPad2 to go to this website?

    The URL I'm trying to go to is https://volume.itunes.apple.com/us/store.  I purchased an app and am trying to install it.  Because I purchased it in the Education store, I can't install from the main iTunes store.

    This is happening to me too. I recently purchased about 4 music videos from iTunes, 3 of them play on both my pc and my iPod Touch but there's one particular music video that will only play on my pc and gives me the same "The requested url cannot be found on this server" message when I try to play it on my iPod. Can someone please rectify?

  • I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?

    I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?

    Try this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Why doesn't the brazilian iTunes Store have Tv Shows?

    Hi!. I live in Brazil and before the Brazilian apple store was created I had an account in the iTunes Store of United States. I don't know if this just happens to me but when I log in to my account and it atomatically redirects me to the Brazilian iTunes Store the option 'Tv Shows' isn't available. I would like to know if this is a problem with my credit card or something else. Or if this option doesn't really exist in the Brazilian iTunes Store. Thank you.

    Because no app maker has made one and sold it on the Candian App Store.

  • I can't find a movie I know was in the US iTunes Store...

    I have been gradually switching my movie collect from DVD to iTunes.  When I want to download the complete Harry Potter set, all the movies were there except the Half-Blood Prince.  I know it was sold in the US iTunes Store last year when it was released on video, but now it is no where to be found.  Yet, it can be found on other iTunes stores like Canada, where my iTunes account can't be used.
    I sent a message to iTunes Support, but they, for some reason, keep sending me to the New Zealand Store.  I can't buy there, and I am not going to spend more money on the video there even if I could.
    Does anyone know how I can get better support for the iTunes Store?  I know this may seem odd to pursue this, but this must be a mistake in the US store. How could a video disappear?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Sometimes, something that was for sale last year is no longer for sale..  That is not unusual for the iTunes Store (or any other retailer). Sometimes there is a big complicated story behind it, but sometimes it just went off sale, or the owner decided to no longer use iTunes as a sales channel in the USA.

  • Why is no season pass available for Big Bang Theory Season 6 in the Australian iTunes Store?

    Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory is now showing in the Australian iTunes Store. So far only one episode is available.
    Where the "Buy Season Pass" button usually is, it instead says, "Partial Season". I can't see any option to buy a season pass.
    Why is this? What does "partial season" mean? If I buy the one episode available, will I later get the option to "Complete" my season? Will the full season eventually be available?
    Thanks anyone for any light you can shed on this.         

    You would have to ask whomever holds the U.K. distribution rights to the show.
