Hmmm... this is news to me. I didn't know that movie studios were providing a digital copy along with a DVD playable on an iPod. Can anyone provide a reference to this?

HT1539 Digital copy transferred from DVD has no audio played back via Apple TV

I have successfully redeemed and transferred the digital copy from a DVD into iTunes. Both the video and audio play perfectly when I play the .m4v file using QuickTime Player. The video plays perfectly, but there is no audio when the movie plays via my Apple TV. My TV is not muted. Every other file in my iTunes library, including movies and music and no matter the source, play back with audio just fine. The only file that doesn't play with audio via my Apple TV is this digital copy that I redeemed and transferred into iTunes. Any idea what my problem might be?

Apple Support Communities solved my problem thanks to member Winston Churchill.
My digital copy of Skyfall transferred from the DVD into iTunes and viewed via my Apple TV on my HD TV would display the video with great clarity and resolution but the audio would not play.
Per his suggestion I visited the Settings icon on my Apple TV. I changed the "audio out" setting from "auto" to "16-bit" and this fixed my problem.
Thanks to Mr. Churchill for solving my problem with his brilliant suggestion.

I loaded a digital copy of a dvd which I bought to the itunes library. It shows in the Library on the computer, but how do I get it on the Ipad? Help!!!

Not sure if I am doing this correct. I uploaded a digital copy of a DVD movie to the itunes library. How do I get it to the Ipad? Please help, I have been trying for over an hour. Thank you. Garry

Select the movie to sync (click in box next to the name) in the movies tab in iTunes while your iPad is connected to your computer, with iTunes running and then sync the movie to the iPad.
Make sure you are using the correct iTunes account when you sync as well and that you have authorized your computer.

HT204370 Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source downloaded to?

Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source (e.g., Macbook Pro) downloaded to?

I'm running Windows 7 RC on my iMac. This was downloaded from Technet when it was available. The disk image I downloaded was then burned to a DVD-RW for the installation.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ITunes not playing downloaded digital copy of movie - please help

I bought "The Proposal" on Blu-Ray and used the bonus digital copy disc to download the movie to my iTunes page. The download went fine, and the poster art is showing fine. But when I actually play the movie all I'm getting is a black screen. I can see the screen stills for the chapter stops, and everything else seems to be working fine, and yet I get no image nor sound. Does anyone know why this happening? I have the most current version of iTunes.
And on a similar topic, I synched the movie to my iPod Touch 8G (3rd generation) and it says "this movie could not be played" when I try to play it there. I assume this problem is related to the issue in iTunes? My iPod software (I believe) is 2.2.1.
Can someone please help. Many thanks.

In iTunes, click on "Store" at the top of your screen, and select deauthorize computer, and then select authorize computer. This will fix the problem.

Digital copy - Reinstall from DVD?

I purchased a digital copy of Photoshop elements and premiere over the holidays (haven’t got back to it for a few months) but returned it and purchased the DVD (wanted a hard copy) now it does not seem to be working right. I have three questions. 1. Do I have to put in the new serial number somehow or do I have to reinstall it? 2. If I reinstall it do I lose the keywords, slide shows and other work I have done? 3. What is the best way to proceed to make sure I have everything installed as it should be?

Operating system?
I don't understand exactly what problem you're having and what you want to do.

Errors when redeeming a digital copy and trying to transfer to ipod

I redeemed a digital copy of a movie from Itunes and every time I try to transfer it to my Ipod I get the error message "{name of movie] can not be copied to ipod because it can not be played on the Ipod." I even contacted Itunes about it and they told me they couldn't help me because I didn't "Purchase" the movie from Itunes which I find is a bunch of bull because I redeemed and downloaded it from them.

i have the exact same problem, just redeemed my digital copy and same message shows up. i unchecked the selection that downloads HD, so it's SD and i downloaded it a second time but same issue. so i downloaded an older movie that i purchased some time ago, and still the same error. PLEASE HELP!

DVD digital copy vs. iTunes store purchase

Is the Digital Copy on a DVD the same as buying the movie on the iTunes Store? Is it HD for an Apple TV? Does it have the same bonus features?

There are two types of Digital Copies:
Some DVDs or Blu Rays include a Digital Copy disc and redemption code. Movies that include a separate Digital Copy disc require this disc to be inserted into your CD or DVD drive before you can redeem your Digital Copy code. Codes can be redeemed multiple times as long as you are using the same Apple ID account used for the original redemption.
Other DVDs and Blu Rays only include a Digital Copy redemption code and do not require a Digital Copy disc to redeem your Digital Copy code. These Digital Copy codes can be redeemed only once.

If it's a film purchased from Apple then see if you are able to re-download it : re-downloading. If it re-downloads the same film, or you aren't in a country where films can be re-downloaded, or it's a digital copy from a DVD or Blu-Ray then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Unable to download Digital Copy of movies to my Itunes

I am so frustrated I could throw my laptop against the wall. I have been trying to download movies to my Itunes that I rightfully paid for through the Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack. After putting in the DVD for the digital copy in the dvd drive, I fire up Itunes. The next thing I do is select the movie in the iTunes DVD slot and I put the correct passcode into the Itunes authorization key area. The entire movie downloads and after downloading, there is a pause while processing. I get the error that states I do not have authorization to the file. Check the disc for dust and reinsert and try again. In the itunes download area, I have error zero KB of 1.66gb - stopped (err = -5000)

Im not sure how much data is taken from the disc, Im guessing the "download" is essentially a disc upload? or is it taken strictly from the iTunes store? Sorry Im not an expert on the digital copy process yet.
However, if it is the disc, its maybe possible you just have a defective disc which contains your digital copy.
If you just recently bought it, you can go back to where you bought it from and exchange it for a new copy. If that doesnt work then maybe you'll have to try to contact iTunes Support. http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html

I found this site: http://www.foxdigitalcopy.com/uk/ and I explained what had happened, and gave my old Codes, and then they e-mailed me a while later with new Redeem codes!!!
They work perfectly and it's brilliant!

I recently bought UP by Disney Paxar with the digital copy. I just downloaded the digital copy but when I tried to play it itunes, there was no audio/video. The title screen will pop up along with the chapters, time, volume, etc. but there was just a grey screen playing nothing. I checked out these forums and found that there was a solution involving quicktime. The quicktime solution did not work so I kep on searching. There was a guy who said something about authorizing/deauthorizing the movie. I tried this out. I opened up itunes and ran the movie. Again, a blank grey screen appeard. I went up to the FILE navigation bar over at the top left hand corner of the screen and went to STORE over to the right. There I clicked on "deathorize computer". It asked me for my password and username, and i filled it out. After typing in my password, I tried playing the movie UP againg and it once againg asked me for my password t authorize my computer. After inserting my password the movie played and worked perfectly.

HT203167 i have a purchased hardcopy of dvd movie which included digital copy. i redeemed it last week and loaded it to my ipad3, this week it is gone from my ipad and is nowhere in itunes. how can get my paid-for copy now?

i redeemed a copy of a DVD / Digital movie last week in itunes tohen synced it to my ipad(3) now it is gone and itunes

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.
