Offering a MOVIE as a download

Hi, I'm at a pretty basic level when it comes to iweb. I've set up a site to play a QT movie, works great. But I'd like to be able to offer it as a free download in different formats (iphone, ipad, 720p, etc.) - same as the Apple Trailers page really... What's the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

QuickTime Player Pro has an "Export for Web" option that writes a reference movie that "reads" the connected device to serve up the appropriate version of the file.
iWeb stores QuickTime files inside a "Media" folder on your server. You would add the reference.mov file via iWeb and upload the other files to the Media folder (by hand upload). As long as they are all inside the same directory (folder) the reference movie should work just fine.
If you wish to allow your page visitors to keep a "local" copy of your QuickTime file that will involve a bit more work and waste some of your server bandwidth. I would simply "Archive" (Finder menu) the .mov file to append the .zip file extension. Add these to your page by "link to file". The .zip file extension will always download when the link is clicked.

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

Purchased books from iTune store and downloaded it. Now, when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message saying the title cannot be found. I cannot find a screen that offers an option to re-download. What gives?

I purchased a box set of books on iTunes, and downloaded them. The title shows up in the "purchased" section, but when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message telling me it cannot be moved because it cannot be found. I can't find a screen anywhere offering the option to re-download either. I've paid for the books, but cannot access them! Every time I upgrade iTunes, it gets more confusing and harder to use.

Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

Rental movie continues to download when iTunes is opened on desktop

Hi,
I rented a HD movie on iTunes using my desktop PC. When the movie finished downloading to my desktop I plugged in my iPhone to the desktop and began to transfer the movie to my iPhone (I have done this several times in the past without issue). However, while transferring the movie to my iPhone the movie again began to download in ITunes on my desktop - I stopped the download and deleted the movie in ITunes. The movie remained on my iPhone and I was able to watch it without issue.
Now, however, each time I open iTunes on my desktop the rental movie begins to download again. I've stopped the download and deleted the movie, only to have it begin downloading again as soon as I open iTunes the next time. I also tried to let it finish downloading and then delete the movie but I got an error message. It has been over 24 hours since I watched the movie on my iPhone but yet it continues to download the moment I open iTunes on my desktop.
How can I prevent this movie from continuing to download in iTunes?
Thank you

This is actually good news.
I'd rather 1st Publish an AIR 2.5 Desktop Application for: (a) Windows, (b) Linux Ubuntu, (c) Mac OS X
Is there a version of WIndows which is required: Vista and Later?
Is there a version of Mac OS X that is requires Leopard? or Now Leopard?
I work with Ubuntu so I'm assuming this is a good way to test.

I rented a movie, watched it download, now can't find it to play. Shows in my purchases, but not my library. How do I find it to play?

I have looked in the sidebar, and don't see a "rented" tab at all, and my movies section is still empty. Am I looking in the wrong place? Big blue sidebar on the left? Thanks!

Movie Won't Download - No Error Message - Just Starts Telling Me It'll Be 1000s of Hours

I actually have this same issue from my iPhone. I didn't know until tonight. After several fruitless emails to Apple support, I removed all my pictures and videos on my iPhone to make room for the movie I bought and after downloading 4.8mb the issue started there too. Here's the initial issue:
I am running Itunes on my PC Windows XP Home Edition version 2002, running service pac 3. It's a Dell Inspiron 1011, Intel Atom, CPU N270 @1.60Ghz, 0.99 GB of Ram. I have broadband internet with a download speed (according to speedtest.net) of 6.11mbps.
I purchased The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug in SD one night before bed and in the morning (roughly 8 hours later), it had completely downloaded the extras, but the movie itself only downloaded 250kb and told me it had 261 hours remaining to download. However after watching it for a minute or so, one moment it told me it had 50 hrs to go then as many as 600, when I checked a few minutes later, it said 126 hrs remaining and went as high as 64,000 hrs remaining. I'd really love to be able to watch this movie in iTunes on one of my devices. I have another $30 on account that I'd love to use.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Geno Allen

Thanks again - I've had limited success with this.
Erasing the iPod disk (which, for any other luddites who worry like me, does not delete the OS - just the music data) meant that iTunes could finally find the iPod and restore it. It started syncing and all appeared well...
...until, that is, the sync finishes and you hit disconnect. The iPod ejects from iTunes, and shows the 'OK to disconnect' screen with the usual white progress bar.
When the disconnect progress bar is full, the iPod resets itself, and afterwards has no accessible content on it (0KB free under 'settings'). Which is odd, as when you reconnect it iTunes it syncs OK, as if nothing were wrong (the capacity and disk usage is shown correctly).
I've tried restoring again since and the pattern happens routinely. It doesn't matter if it's left plugged in during the 'ok to disconnect' screen or unplugged - it resets itself all the same.
I suspect this is heading towards 'terminal' status but am all ears if there are any other potential solutions!

I bought a movie and the download failed, how do I get my money back?

Just 10 minutes ago I bought a 8 dollar movie and it failed to download, however my money was not refunded. How do I get my money back or get it to download properly?!

Thanks for your help. It keeps telling me that the connection to the network is down, despite the fact that another movie I have downloaded after, downloaded just fine.

I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

HT204370 My movie is not downloading but the movie extras are, how do i get the movie back without re-purchasing it?

My movie is not downloading but the movie extras are, how do i get the movie back without repurchasing it? I've tried searching through my available downloads but only the extras showed up not the movie. All my other movies are there including the extras from the movie. I really want the movie & I don't want to repurchase it if I can avoid it.
When I tried to get it through my Purchased in iTunes - iStore it says
" You have already purchased this item"
"You have alreaady purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Avaliable Downloads from the Store menu."
Which leads me right back to having all the other tv shows & movies that aren't on my laptop downloading but not the actual movie I want. I already have the extras but I really would like the movie .
Any help or advice would be appreciated
Thank You

There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.
Is that a -50 error message, jolyn?
If so, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Hi whatisitagain,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If the movie you downloaded from the iTunes Store is not playing in iTunes for Windows, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:

Check the available languages available for the Movie BEFORE purchase and not after.

On my Apple Tv, the movies are not downloading, what next?

I have used Apple TV for over a month, choose a movie and it downloads, today it is not doing, despite having tried so many things, even checking the credit card setting. Feel very frustrated.... Any advice on how to have the movies downloading again?
Thanks

Is there an error?
Best to check the network, below are some common area to look into
Current connection, use speedtest.net
DNS, should be on automatic (settinga - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
