Question about Movie Rental Times and AirPlay

Just wondering. I have been sitting with my Apple TV2 since I got it this morning with it saying to download an hd movie. 1920 minutes remaining.I can get a faster download off my computer so that comes to my second question. Can I rent it on my computer and airplay it to my Apple TV?
Oh and my network speed is 3mbs. Not alot I know... But is that ok?

Are either of you using a DNS server / name server other than the one provided by your Internet service provider? OpenDNS or Google's DNS service, for instance? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, probably not.) There have been a number of reports suggesting that this can result in slow media downloads due to the way the movie servers try to optimize delivery based on your location, though it's unclear to me how accurate this really is.
Also, be aware that by default, the new Apple TVs provide "hi-def" rentals from the iTunes store (this is not applicable to Netflix), which means a larger and therefore longer download. To rent standard definition, you have to go into Settings and switch rentals to standard definition.

  • Question about Movie Rentals

    When you rent a movie, how long is the rental good for? When time runs out, does it delete itself from your hard drive? Does it stay on the iPod until you sync or does it stop working there after a certain amount of time?
    Thanks for the answers!

    Does anyone else think 24 hours is too short for a movie rental?
    I watch these on my iPhone when I have time over a 2-3 day period.
    I think 48 should be the minimum and possibly 72 hours.
    Who/where can make concern know to Apple?
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 I have clicked agree to all the terms (about 8,000 times) and the update won't move forward.  What do I need to do to move forward and complete the update?

    How do I move past the terms and agreement page of the update?  I have clicked agree for every catagory about 8,000 times and it won't move me forward or give me any kind of error message. 

    so the Wifi settings are grayed out ? In that case, use this article for solution: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559

  • HT1657 My download keeps freezing, and I have to buy it over and over again and it wastes money. I have now rented my movie 4 times and it still won't finish downloading. Why can't I get the rental for free if it keeps doing this?

    Please turn off your caps lock.  All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many will not read such posts.
    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

    I have just reset my password about a hundred times and still the face time and I messenger is not working, I previously used FaceTime once and now I need help urgently
    What am I not doing?

    Hi fatbear711.  are the following as follows?  Settings/restrictions:  Facetime and Camera are both ON?   Also in Game centre at bottom 'Adding Friends" is turned on?  If all ok, log into your account via itunes App, Click on your ID at bottom left of say the Music page, then click to 'Manage', enter password.  On next page click on your apple ID at top, then select to go to '[email protected]'. Log in on the browser window page that appears and confirm that your primary apple ID and primary email have been verified (should have green ticks and the word 'verified' next to them.  If you use itunes on a pc to sync with then do this through iTunes;Store menu on your pc, ensuring that you sync your device once finshed.  You will also need to check that your device is set to the correct timezone and time in your devices settings page.  If problem still persists at least we'll know the basics are ok.
    When you post again can you also include whether ipad2/3 etc and iOS e.g. 5.3.1/6.01 etc

  • Questions about movies in iTunes

    I like our new iPhone and still need the iPod Classic because of its nice large hard drive (which still doesn't hold all podcasts).
    I bought the Classic more for its ability to share pictures than to play music.
    Photo Stream's nice, but not for > 1,000 pictures... which for us is not for > 3-4 months ago.
    So having all pictures on the Classic helps us share with Mom and others, via the Classic, and better... via the TV screen (via the cables).
    To do this, I have, every few weeks, dragged and dropped the home camera movies from iPhoto into iTunes.
    When that happens, only the name comes across, no date information.
    So, to then have the movies in a good sort order (since we had more than one camera, sorting by file name doesn't work), I needed to manually name each one.
    Questions:
    1) How to get all deails about the movies, especially the date/time stamps, from iPhoto into iTunes?
    2) If we can't do that... is there a way to use automator to, after I highlight a movie or group of movies and press the macro keystrokes (does it support that??), read the number of the current highest-number movie (I rename to Video###) + 1?
    With either of these, my life would be easier getting all content onto the iPod Classic.
    On a related note...
    Some podcasts don't download in a format that works on the iPod.
    Is there a way, beyond the manual one I use, to convert the file formats automatically to the one that plays on iPods?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi there,
    I'm new to the part of buying movies in iTunes store and got some questions about it. I live in Cologne, Germany. iTunes settings are set to English (US).
    I found myself in the US Store but after all I can't buy items there, which is pretty annoying anyway and got forwarded to the German store, which is missing .. lots of content (e.g. Echelon Conspiracy).
    go to the iTunes store. click on "TV Sendungen" (tv shows), and find the entry +exclusive: unaired TV shows in english+ in the upper right corner.

  • Question on Movie Rental

    Hello all.
    This will be the first time I am renting a movie and I got a couple of questions.
    This is from the iTS Movie Rental Support Docu:
    • You can only play your rented movies on the computer you rented it from and only if it is authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases and rentals.
    Please refer to the last point; *Query: If I rent and download a movie from my iMac (main computer), can I transfer it to my MacBook?* OR that I just have to rent it off my MacBook? Because I was thinking of syncing the rental to my iPod and iPhone too (just in case) and they are connected/sync to my iMac.
    Merry Christmas and Cheers!

    I think as you read more you will find that if you transfer the rental it will be deleted from the other device. You cannot have a rental on 2 devices. You have 30 days to view the movie - once you start viewing you have 24 hours to view it as many times as you want - then the content will automatically delete.

  • Questions about JVC GZ HD7 and Final Cut

    i'm planning to buy a JVC GZ HD7, but i have some questions about it...
    My imac configuration is
    Imac 20" late 2006
    1 Gb Ram
    Leopard 10.5.2
    Final Cut Studio 2
    Ok
    So my questions are:
    1- When shooting the best setting for me is the 1440cbr, or 1920x1080
    is better? i would like to have progressive instead of interlaced
    moviefiles, but for what i have read the JVC HD7 only shoots interlaced...is possible to turn them into progressive after working in final cut?
    2- In Final Cut Pro what are the sequence settings and the video
    settings for a video shoot from this camera?
    I would like to know the best settings possible for me,
    regarding that i would like to edit in real time, no rendering needed,
    and to have the best image quality that this camera can offer...

    FCE is designed to work with DV/HDV files. It cannot work natively with MPEG2 files. You will need something like MPEG Streamclip to convert your files to a format that FCE understands
    Streamclip is free but you need to buy Apple's MPEG Playback Component to make it work

  • Techie Question about iWeb, outbound links, and Google Analytics

    Hi,
    I have a kind of pretty technical question about using Google Analytics (GA) with iWeb sites to measure clicks on outbound links. Here's the setup:
    1) My website's online, and GA is working properly.
    2) I don't sell stuff directly, but I do have a "Purchase" page which contains a link to a specific Amazon page.
    3) I'm pretty sure I can measure how many people go to the Purchase page using GA, but how do I measure whether visitors click on the Amazon link? It would be interesting to me to be able to gauge what the conversion rate is; that is, how many people actually proceed to purchase the product at Amazon.
    I've checked the GA instructions and there's a page about manually tracking clicks on outbound links but it requires some code inputting. I know zero about coding, but I'm pretty sure that in iWeb you can't get access to the source code to input the required code.
    Am I wrong about this? And if I am, then does anyone here know how to measure the clickthrough rate?
    Anyway, hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

    I don't know about the link tracking but you could have the link take you to a redirect page which automatically sends them to Amazon.com after a preset time, 0 seconds to whatever you'd like. You can put a counter on that redirect page, like StatCounter. StatCounter can tell you how many, from where they came, i.e country and area, repeat visits, etc.
    Tutorials #12 & #13 describe how to put a visible counter on a page but with a redirect page you wouldn't have to bother since it wouldn't be seen. You can get all of your information from your account on the StatCounter site.
    The redirect page would be a simple plain text page titled redirect.html and would look like this:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh"
    content="0; Destination URL">
    <title>Redirecting or whatever you'd like to appear at the top of the browser</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    0 Is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the visitor. If set to zero the visitor would not know they were being redirected. Replace Destination URL with the Amazon URL you want them to go to.

  • HT204407 why is the display on my icloud page so freaking big. It's magnified about a hundred times and why can't I scroll up and down. The thing is frozen. It's very irritating.

    Why is the display on my icloud page so freaking large. It's magnified about a hundred times. It's like I can see only one letter at a time. I'm using a PC, but I recently bought an Iphone, so I was going with their technology. But this Icloud display thing is just a pain in the ***. I can't even use the scroll up and down feature. It's just a frozen solid block.

    My display for iCloud on my desktop is the same. Magnified and can't find a way to fix it. It is the same for all the accounts in my family. It is magnified on my sign in page.

  • Firefox crashes every few minutes for about 15 - 20 times and then crashes less often.

    I have been using Firefox for several years with no problems. I have had my current laptop for 1 and a half years and have had no problems until about 2 months ago. Now Firefox crashes after only a few seconds several times (maybe 15-20 times) and then the interval between crashes tends to increase. I googled for help, and nothing has worked. I am still using Firefox 3.6.24 because when I upgrade to the latest version Firefox freezes while it is loading and it locks up my PC. At least with Firefox 3.6.24, I can get around to using it, although it is very frustrating wiwth all the crashes.
    This is the link to the latest crash report submitted:
    2478ec0b-1112-4ba8-929e-78a97a7a5e96
    While I have your attention, is there any way I can get Firefox to stop asking me if I want to update my version. I am getting sick and tired of having to say 'NO' (for the reasons above).

    OK,
    I uninstalled Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Then I installed version 3.6.28 of Firefox and version 10.3.183.20 of the Flash player as instructed in cor-el's post.
    Result: Same problems -- Firefox continued to crash every few minutes.
    So... I tried Tylerdowner's suggestions. I already had the latest driver version for my graphics card. Back in June, I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox which then was 13.0.1. It was the latest version available when the crashing problem started on my laptop. This version caused my laptop to freeze.
    So today, I went to the website and downloaded the more recent version 14.0.1, and it appears to be working great. I have gone for more than an hour without a crash. I hope the good performance continues.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Some questions about Unity 4.0 and IPC

    I have a couple of questions and I was looking for "real world" answers, not specific answers from the design guide.
    1.What is this bandwidth requirement between Exchange and Unity and what is it used for?
    2. What sort of issues would we experience if we placed the Unity UM Server at the Colo and placed the Exchange server at the customer premise; with a single T1 between the sites?
    3.What else is involved with a Unity UM install vs. a Unity VM install?
    4.Does the Unity UM and Exchange servers have to be running AD?
    5. Can Unity or the Exchange box be the Domain Controller? Or does it need to be a separate server?
    6. Where does a vm message get streamed from? The Unity server or the Exchange server?

    No you do not pay for FaceTime. It uses your WiFi network, so if you have access to WiFi it is free.
    There is no server required for FaceTime, it will use a direct device to device protocol.
    I can't answer the question about using phones in different countries as that will depend on if you buy a phone that is locked to a carrier.
    If you buy a phone in Germany and it is locked to a German phone network then it will most likely not work with a SIM from Turkey. You would need to buy an unlocked phone which are very expensive as they do not have any carrier subsidy applied to the price.
