I downloaded some movies and the I-Tunes extra for the movies will not download

I downloaded three movies on ITUNES and the ITUNES Extra for them specific movies will not download. I have the latst update version of ITUNES installed. I've hit the download button and it states "ITUNES extra has errors please try again".
Can anybody assist!

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers.

System Profiler will not recognize installed hard drive if drive is in use by VMWare

System Information will not recognize installed Hard Drive (Boot Camp) when in use by VMWare.
I work in IT for a School District and I am creating a Script that system information about the computer. I am testing this on a Mac Pro with two internal hard drives. One drive is Mac OS 10.8 and the other drive is a Boot Camp Drive that is used by VMWare Fusion.
When I run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, both drives show up just fine. However, if I launch VMWare Fusion and run Windows from my Boot Camp drive, then run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, the Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed as an installed drive.
Example:
In the Terminal, I enter the following command.
system_profiler SPStorageDataType
Then it returns this information.

The Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed.
I assume this is due to the the fact that the drive is "In Use" however is seems odd since the Mac drive is also in use and it appears without problem. I assume there is no "fix" for this, I was just wondering if someone may have an explaination why?
Also, I do realize that I can query the various interface types like system_profiler SPSerialATADataType to get all the properly installed phycial drives, but then I would have to query all possible interface types, isolate only devices containing Volumes, then consoldate the information to just the information that I need. I was hoping for a cleaner query.

Thank you for your response.
VMWare may be the cause, but the actual issue I am having is with Apple's System Information. I anticipated resistance from VMWare if I went to them with a question about an Apple software issue (even though VMWare software is part of the equation). I was trying to avoid the inevitable finger pointing game. I thought I would try with Apple Forums first since the issues presents itself within the Apple Software. However, you are correct that VMWare may have an explanation on why Fusion might be interfering with System Information. I will check with them next.
To answer your question. Yes, In most cases I do use Fusion to run Windows side-by-side with the Mac OS. However, that is not always the case. There are a few reasons why I have it setup using a Dual Boot configuration.
One, in some cases, due to the intense programs I occasionally run (graphic applications), I prefer to simply boot straight into Windows via Boot Camp so I may allocate all hardware resources to Windows. Additionally, some graphic applications like to have direct access to hardware and the extra layer of the VM environment can cause problems when an application is trying to directly access specific hardware like a graphics card.
Second, I often use either side, both Mac and PC, for testing. There is an advantage to not having to rely on the Mac OS to run Windows. If, for whatever reason, my Mac becomes unstable due to testing, I can still jump right into Windows to do work if necessary.
Third, I love the Mac OS, but I work in a PC centric organization. If there is a "problem" with my system, it is too easy for other system admins to say, "it's because it's a Mac". Having the definitive separation of the OS's allows me to prove that the Mac OS is not a factor.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

HT204370 Movie will not download. How to get it to download its been 3 days

What to do if u purchased a movie and it will not download?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox, you WILL NOT lose any bookmarks, history, and settings. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

HT1657 rented movie will not download to mac

rented a movie from itunes and it will not download to Mac. Keep getting an error message when I try to open it to watch on the MAc. Any help??

How large is the film ? It's size should be on its decription page in the store. The current 'top film' here in the UK is 5.12 gig in HD format.

Rented movie will not download

Just rented a movie at iTunes, But it will not download.
The download icon just disappers. I have an ipad with the newest update.
Please help! Thanks :)

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

The textbook I purchased in ibooks will not download. I have enough available space.

IMac 400dv will not recognize new hard drive installed

Hi,
I had been having trouble with my iMac 400dv's hard drive. I had posted the problems I was having and had gotten some very nice feedback. The final decision was to install a new hard drive and battery.
I purchased a refurbished 40GB Maxtor to replace my old 20GB. Installation was no problem except that my iMac will not recognize the new drive. If I reinstall the old one, it recognizes it right away, so I know it has been installed correctly.
I took the new hard drive back to the store and the tech said that it wasn't set on the "Master" position. He set it and tested the drive and said that it was fine. I reinstalled and get the same result, no drive can be sellected to install the software. No matter where I set the pin, I get the same result. I called the phone help line (MicroCenter) and the new tech told me that the drive was too big for my mac, which makes no sense to me since they suggested I buy a 100GB in the 1st place.
I have 1GB of memory, my installation disk if for 8.6 and I will bring it up to 9.2 if I can get it running again.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Lucy

Lucy Rust...
In my opinion no Macintosh user should attempt to install a refurbished HD under any condition. Especially any HD that is to be bootable as they are no longer reliable for the Mac.
Master setting is a must for the HD and never tinker with an optical setting. Well, if you could mess with the optical setting, expect to do some micro-surgery.
You should be good for a HD up to a capacity of 120GB. The threshold is somewhere around 137GB but you will not find such odd capacity on the market.
I think the rest has been covered.

Imac will not see my hard drive on start up, wants to start from network start up disk that does not exist. How to get rid of it? So there is just one choice / my hard drive.

I have a Intel duo Imac. Everything has been running relatively smoothly for a few years now. All of a sudden my computer will not start. I get the flashing folder with a question mark.
When I go to Start up disk in my system perfernces while the computer is on. I see 2 possible choices. One is my hard drive with the operating system shown. The other is a non-existant Network Start up disk with a question mark in it ( looks like a hard drive with a question mark and it say's its a "network start up disk).
All I think I want to do is get rid of the Network startup with the question mark. I can not find anywhere how one can just remove an old or non existant start up disk without reformatting.
I believe this came from a clients hard drive who had a network system on it. We no longer have that drive. It no longer exists. But a latent icon shows up in start up disk.
When I go to change the start up disk. I can change it to either the hard drive or the network with the question mark. But when I select my hard drive and then got to restart the computer. I get the flashing folder with a question mark on start up. I have also seen the flashing globe a couple times.
When I attempt to run disk utility from may install disk ( holding down "C" on start-up ). Disk utility does not see my hard drive. Just the Apple install disk with the disk utility on it.
What can I do to remedy this short of re-installing? Will a program like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool help?

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

Apple Care will not return my Hard drive.

I have a Power Book G4 1.67 . The hard drive has failed, it is covered under applecare for another 6 months, I have case number, the person on the phone was very nice, they sent the shipping box.
I think it's more then just the HD, however. The drive was partitioned in 3 sectors. Of course the system sector was the one that failed. I can boot in Target Disk Mode and see the other 2 sectors of the drive. The system sector is the one that is bad, I can't get that info off there. I am sure someone else can who is better qualified can. I really need that info, I can see they system partition in Disk Warrior, but am not a guru in that or the couple of other products I bought to see if I could rescue this info.
I asked AC Rep if I could have the Hard Drive back, they said no, I asked if they would back up the information, they said no, I said I would pay for either back up or pay for the old hard drive myself, (again) they said no.
So now I am stuck, if I replace that HD myself, I may void the warranty, I know it's a customer installable part. I have replaced many over my apple years, upgrading HDs about every 2 years in multiple computers and putting the old ones in external cases. I have also upgraded RAM, airport cards, pram batteries so I am comfortable working the simple upgrades. So I could simply replace that Hard Drive and then send it in, but then they may blame me for the problem.
There also smaller problems, screen latch won't stay closed, superdrive will not eject correctly, screen has some lines in it occasionally. It's not a road warrior, but I use it a lot and always treat these well. The drive was making no noise at all and no indication of a impeding failure. I treat my machines very carefully, I still have a Pismo that is gasping it's last breath.
This HD has all my important passwords and other personal info, I was in the middle of backing it up when thing went blitz. I saved the data from the other 2 partitions but I need that HD. Why will they not return my old part ? Or even back it up for a fee. I am afraid to replace the HD with a new one, and then send it off, or even try to reboot it from a new one as I maybe be stuck with it and they say well I did the damage.
Yes I know multiple back ups, but this is the first HD failure in 20 years and I should have had 2 HDs for back ups instead of one. Any other part I could see their point, but that HD has information I need and I don't want someone having it either. Is there a fair solution here.
This thing has been down a week, I just got the box and I need to do something. There is no Apple store up here and the company that can do the repairs, messed up a iBook G4, so the only option is sending it out to apple care.
Ideas and Suggestions?
Geoff

Well Holy Smoke !! Apple has agreed to let me get my data back a bit of a round about way but we will see.
I am going to use a hard drive recovery service so it will go like this.
A" local service provider," whom did not do anything at all to fix an iBook I gave them, under Apple Care to repair, but keep it 3 weeks and then said, I could not find anything by Goggling the problem...I see the problem that cursor is all over the place and jumps anywhere it wants., a problem came up and by the time we got back the iBook was out of warranty . Sometimes the local help is tough, but I try to support them.
I think, with me standing there, they can remove the hard drive from my powerbook, it's pretty easy..
Then, with Apple Care's blessing, I can send the drive into a recovery company, yes expensive, then return the drive in parts if that is the way it comes back, with my powerbook, ship it and AppleCare will fix it the PowerBook.
That is really good, and if all goes well, I will be very impressed and not hesitate to get that new
MBP. They even offered to let me take out the drive, but I thought, better to keep it in the "Apple Family."
Now they did not send a letter or email to this effect, that would have made me feel better, but the attitude at Apple, has really changed, these people went multiple times to supervisors to get this answer and solution. Not the quickest way to get it fixed, but
I am willing to bend, if they are willing to alter what is a well oiled line and will create a bump in their flow..
We will see, I told them they just might get a bag of parts and I will not reinstall the bad drive, as it is most definitely shot. No problem, it's all in the notes the CSR said.
We will see, but for today, this is sure a different attitude then the last go around, a few years ago. The CSR people are nice, understand English, as they seem to be based in Canada, which is a whole lot better then anywhere else I would want to talk too, or have talked to. They can understand abstract ideas, unlike those who just read from a card and stick to what the card says.
I am holding my breath, but I hope to report that this all goes smooth. I liked it when Apple was a good company. People went out of their way to help you no matter it took to get it fixed or working. I think a company can be good, profitable, plus have a excellent CSR and repair program.
For today at least, here is to Apple, way to go.
