Number of movies for which you can only buy and not rent.

Is anyone getting aggravated by the number of movies on demand that you can only buy. It seems as if I am running into this issue all too frequently now. I am beginning to find this very upsetting given the amount of money I pay for my monthly service!!!! I guess this is just another ploy by a Verizon marketing guru to squeeze more dollars from subscribers. If this continues, I guess I'll either have to get Netflix or switch providers.

Sorry for your frustration with the Flex View service. Most new movies are available to buy 10 days before it is available to rent.

Amount of on demand movies that you can only buy and not rent.

Why are so many on demand movies for which you only have the option buy and not rent? I beginning to find this very upsetting given the amount of money I pay for my monthly service. I guess this just another ploy to squeeze more dollars from subscribers. If this continues I guess I'll either have to get Netflixs or switch providers.

It's the movie studio's last ditch effort to save a archaic business model. Their answer to sagging DVD sales? "We won't let you rent movies--we're going to force you to buy them." The plan is to not allow movie rentals for at least a month or two after the DVD is released for sale, on the theory that people just can't wait, and will buy it. There may be a few movie fans that will go for that, but the rest of us will just wait.
I use a combo of netflix Hulu, Vudu and amazon prime, and only buy from on demand if it's cheaper, I can't wait or unavailable on the others, and that is rare, but it happens.

Can only purchase and not Rent certain Movies????

Hi,
I'm a little confused after this new set up of purchasing is available now. I just went into Top Movies and now there is only a "Preview" and "Purchase" option and no rental option on such releases like "Cloverfield"....... but I only noticed this on certain releases .
Can someone explain why you could purchase it but not be able to rent only??
Thanks
Raff

The announcement was Day 1 Purchase availability, not day 1 rental ability. Not much has changed for those that only rent.
Before this Day 1 availability news, you would only get movies show up when the studio let Apple put it up and then the studio also decides if for purchase only or rental as well.
The studios decides when to release for rental as they want to get as much money from DVD release first.
The recent news just means you can purchase movies now on the same day as DVD release. However with that said, some studios said they will also release for rental day 1, other still reserve the right to hold off on that.

I just bought Lion from the app store and I was wondering how long it will be there for because you can't buy a hard copy of it and I was told they were fazing it out so if my computer crashes and I need to install it again will it still be there??

FWIW, your profile shows that you are already on Lion - did you buy Mountain Lion?
If you purchase an OS from the Mac App Store, it will be listed under your Purchases and will be available to download again if you need it. Note: the license is only for you and is not transferable; if you sell your Mac, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system.
If you did buy Lion - out of curiosity - since it is no longer showing in the app store, how did you buy it there? Or did you call Apple and they sent you a redemption code?

HT202729 Why is it now there are Song in ITune Store that I can ONLY Play and Not Buy?

Why is it now there are songs that I can ONLY Play not Buy?

What do you mean 'only play and not buy' ? If you mean that a song has 'play' against it in the store then that implies that you've already bought it and it's in your iTunes library

I have iPhone 3G, iTunes 10.5, offered to upgrade the version of the phone, after which you can only make emergency calls. Help! ! ! I'm in a panic!

Yesterday iTunes 10.5 offered to upgrade the iPhone 3G to the version of I don't know, most likely to the new. After that, the screen of the cable and the icon iTunes, you can only dial emergency calls. What to do? How to get back to the previous version, or at least to do so would the phone began to work? I'm from Russia, so you need the Russian version. Help please! Describe all of the items what to do... I'm in a panic!

Sounds like this was a hacked iPhone...hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. One of the big downsides to hacking an iPhone, to unlock it, is that updating software or restoring the phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. This appears to be what has happened to you. You have two choices to fix things: 1. Get the phone officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(sorry, can't be discussed here). Good luck.

I am trying to upload an MP4 video and share it, but you can only hear it, not see it. I have tried other formats with no luck.

mp4 share is a black screen with only audio. I did this exact same thing for another meeting and it shared it fine. The only issue I have is that from time to time some participants are not able to see the video. It just freezes on them and they cannot hear anything either. Is this a weird Adobe Connect glitch?

iPhoto has the ability to do a custom export of a slideshow in mpeg-4 format. Create the slideshow and then click the Export button at the bottom. Select the Custom Export... option in the resulting dialog. Look for the Export: menu and from it select Movie to MPEG-4. You can select further customization from the Options button.
I am presuming you have the latest version of iPhoto. I don't remember how much of this earlier versions could do.
Best of luck.

All of the sudden, emails from an existing contact go to junk mail on my iphone and ipad (which you can't label as "not junk" and do not show up anywhere on my iMac. What is going on?

I just recently got an ipad Air and some odd things are happening. I use Entourage on my iMac OS 10.6.8, and my iphone and ipad are getting emails into the junk folder and the email doesn't show up anywhere on my iMac. You can't label an email "not junk" on the iphone or ipad, so what do I do? So frustrated.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Why can i buy, but not rent, certain movies on apple tv?

I rented Batman Begins last night with no problems and then thought I'd watch The Dark Knight tonight but it's only available to buy, not to rent. I understand that some movies are restricted based on the requirements of the distributor but it seems strange to block The Dark Knight but not Batman Begins from rental. Any advice or work-arounds gratefully recieved. I'm in Australia, if that makes a difference.

This is becoming more and more common. My take on it is that the studios have only just started to understand the ramifications of the Apple TV model. They're losing money because Apple TV makes it so easy to rent a movie, and then rent it a second time IF you wish to, and so people are less inclined to buy (I know for certain this is true for me, so I assume that other people have started adopting this behaviour too). So what seems to be happening is that when a movie is first released it's rentable and then later when you go back to look for it again it's suddenly purchase-only. Also, I've noticed that some movies that did poor box office but got great reviews, are mysteriously 'rental only'. I suspect this is an effort to try and recoup some money from their crummy marketing decisions.
And they wonder why they have a problem with piracy.

Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

If it is asking for a serial number for a previous version then you purchased an upgrade version rather than a standalone version. You should be able to determine this based on the price you paid. If you do not own an earlier version then you need to purchase a full version rather than an upgrade. If you did purchase a full version but acquired an upgrade version then you will need to acquire the full version.

HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

When my phone turns on it goes to the normal screen for 1 second and then it gets very large so you can only see a few icons

When I turn my iphone on, the usual main icon screen shows for about a second and then it blows up so you can only see a few icons at a time. How do you turn this off?

Your phone might be on Zoom somehow, try just the simple "gestures" fix
Double tap with 3 fingers on the screen, then drag down. That should at least zoom out. If that does not work, try scrolling through the screen, but using 3 fingers instead of 1.
From there you should be able to access Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>OFF
Hope this helps
