Search Movie Trailers?

Does anyone know of a way to find a specific movie trailer i.e. 'O Brother Where Art Thou' if one doesn't know the studio or even the category it would fit into? 'Search Music Store' only comes up with music.
thanks.

This isn't directly answering your question, but you can often use Google to find movie trailers as well as the studio which produced the movie. For example, it appears Touchstone produced "O Brother Where Art Thou" and a theatrical preview can be viewed at this website.

Front Row movie trailers internet connection

Hello,
I have search everywhere and I haven't found a solution to my problem.
When I open Front Row to watch movie trailers online, it tells me I'm not connected to the internet. But, I am connected to the internet !
In many discussions (and it also seems to be Apple's answer) I read that the problem seems to be solve by plugging an ethernet cable even if you're using a wireless connection (airport).
The thing is, I'm not using a wireless connection. My modem is plug in my computer with an ethernet cable.
Can someone has experienced this and has solve it ?
Thank you !

i just opened my new macPro last night (Version 10.6.1). the first thing i did was use an ethernet cable to move my apps from my macbookPro (Version 10.5.8).
after a while of playing around with the new macpro i discovered that when i went into front row for movie trailers, it would not connect to the internet, or says im not connected (which i am). normally i dont think i would give a hoot about something so silly but is a brand new out of the box $6,000 system and its nice to know that it works like it should.
im connecting to the internet using airport wireless thru a buffalo router and cable modem.
Anyway, i randomly tried hooking up the ethernet wire from my macPro to my macbookPro and went into front row. it worked!! ????? so whats up? does anybody have some thoughts or ideas about this? i just spent over an hour on the phone with a mac tec, trying various maneuvers and nothing has been resolved.
thank you all
ps, this is my first discussion post ever!

Quicktime 7.6 NOT playing movie trailers from Apple site???

I have all the latest software OSX 10.56 running on a 3.06GHz Intel Duo but Quicktime 7.6 will not play movie trailers when on the Apple site. When I try, the site advises I need the latest Quicktime which I have already downloaded and installed fresh. It just doesn't seem to recognize it no matter which movies I try and view.
Please help if you can?
Thanks

It's a piece of component software that's used by QuickTime to allow it to decode or encode different types of video/audio formats. The issue for me was that I had an old codec still in my system that should have been deleted/replaced during the last update, but was not. So when QT tried to access what it thought was an appropriate up-to-date decoder, it couldn't process the video with it and gave me a blank screen. Something similar could be happening to you as well.
Try deleting all of the QuickTime components and folders in your system. Because you're using Leopard, I'm not sure all the files will be where they are for me. Do a thorough search of your system and clean out any QuickTime files you find, they'll be in HDD/Library, HDD/System/Library, and HDD/Users/"yourusername"/Library. Then reinstall QuickTime using the installer from Apple's downloads page(or Software update will probably work as well). You'll have to restart afterwards and make sure to repair permissions after you've rebooted(use Disk Utility). Then test out the trailers again and see if that solves it.

Can't save apple movie trailers

I just noticed with OS X 10.7.4 that you do not have the save feature for movie trailers that stream from the apple website. You can save them on iTunes, but if you try off the apple trailer page, you can't save it. You can download it but I've gone searching through my folders, used my search engine, even tried to look for a root folded that could be hidden.
So below I've added a screen shot of my situation. This is the movie trailer "Beautiful Creatures" that just got released today on Apple Trailers. I can't save the file through Quicktime.
I'm kind of going out of my mind a little trying to figure out why this isn't working. Anyone have any idea why OS X 10.7.4 doesn't have this option for Quicktime?

The File Menu "Save As..." option has been merged with the "Export" option under Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems.
As you can see in the image above, the default "Format: QuickTime movie" pop-up option allows the user to "Save a movie file that contains media in the same format as the original movie." Since this data is written to an MOV file container, this action is functionally equivalent to the old QT 7 Pro "Save As..." File Menu option.

Can't play Movie Trailers from iTunes Store!

I am wondering if anyone knows why I cant watch free movie trailers on the iTunes Store? It follows as far as letting me choose the size of the trailer cilp I want to watch but after that nothing loads up! the top half of the page is blank! Also I can't watch movie trailers from the apple website through the quicktime option. Yes, I do have Quicktime. Please Help.

I figured it out, it was just that I needed to upgrade my Quiktime player. Quicktime 7 and I can watch all the movie trailers!!

Front Row movie trailers -- not connected to internet message?

I'm new to Front Row, even though it's been on my laptop for a while! Anyway, when I click on Movie Trailers, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet, even though I am (via Airport). I looked at Network Diagnostics as both the message and Apple Support site suggested, and everything is reported as fine (as I knew it would be; I can get to the internet with no problem). The only other thing I found in Support was for machines with more than 1 Ethernet port, which I don't have.
Is there something special I need to do to get Front Row to see I'm connected to the internet? Thanks for any suggestions!

I believe you've encountered a bug with Front Row. If you can, try plugging in an Ethernet cable even if it's not actually connected to the Internet itself. Sometimes Front Row looks only for an Internet connection through the Ethernet port even if the port, itself, is not connected to the the Internet. I think the trailers will play through the AirPort connection anyway...

Quicktime 7.5 Won't Play Movie Trailers!

Hi:
I'm new to this forum. I'm having trouble with my "Free" Quicktime player. When I go to the Quicktime movie trailer website and click on the HD movie trailer button nothing happens at all and when I click on the normal movie trailer buttons a window pops up/opens that has the words "Get the latest Quicktime". I have the latest Quicktime 7.5
I have been using Quicktime for quite some time now after upgrading from v7.4.5.67 I have NOT been able to play any movie trailers on the Quicktime movie trailer website. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple times to no avail.
What can I do to fix this problem????

I was having the same problem but just found a solution for IE. You need to make sure the QuicktimeCheck Class addon is enabled. Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Manage Addons. (Addons currently loaded in Internet Explorer)
I am not sure how this got disabled but enabling it got rid of the "Get the latest Quicktime" message and allowed me to view trailers once again.

Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

Cannot install "iTunes Movie Trailers App" on new iPad

Hello all,
I just got the new iPad (3rd Gen.).
I am trying to install the iTunes Movie Trailer App (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-movie-trailers/id471966214?mt=8)
For some reason, after clicking the install icon, I get an error Pop-up screen that says "Action could not be completed".
I have installed plenty of other Apps with no issues at all.
Is this App only for U.S. users (I am from Canada)?
I suspect it is something like this because my son also cannot install this App on his iPod touch.
Any ideas?
Christian

I am actually seing it in Canada.
Nevertheless, it should be able to say "Not available in your region" before I even get the possibility to download.
Like for example, if I go on the MTV website, I cannot view their videos, they give a proper message.
For sure they would be able to do the same in a more user-friendly message.
Another good example, go see this App for the BBC, first thing they say: Exclusive to the UK.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bbc-olympics/id538520463?mt=8
Simple, one line says it all.

Quicktime movie trailers still not playing, could someone please help me?

I have not been able to watch any movie trailers from quicktime for two years now and this is really getting old.
my inf!
computer: DELL
system: Windows XP SP2
QT player version: 7.2
I have all system requirments and updates also allready unselected derctX and selected safe mode, still all I get when loading the movie trailer from QT websight is the white box with QT logo in middle, sometime the logo will also have ?mark over it. I figured it was just taking its own sweet time loading so I wated it out. 4 hours later there was still no change. you'd think apple would have fixed or resolved this problem since it has been ongoing for last two or more years.
Could someone please help me?????????

How to fix spotlight doesn't search movies,places or bing web search?

spotlight doesn't search movies or anything bing web search, it only search file on my mac in yosemite. How can i fix this???

Hello arnoota,
for me Spotlight's content search works for docx, too. Are the info in your signature correct? If so you should install the 10.5.4 update of Leopard! At least for 10.5.3 some changes concerning Spotlight are documented by Apple, so probably this issue got fixed as well with one of these two updates.

Movie Trailers

Has anyone else had problems trying to download movie trailers from iTunes store?
What happens with me is that when I have found the trailer I want to download I click "Get Movie", as you do with any other Movie, TV Show or Music within the store, but when it downloads the file size is only something like 27Kb and I cant play any of the trailer.

There's no solution as far as I know, since Apple changed the way trailers are accessed through it's site (apple.com/trailers) and itunes, If you try to download and you get a weird 20 to 50 or so kB file, that's actually the htmfile of apple.com/trailers since Apple has disabled direct linking to their trailers. so for example this link to avatar 1080p trailer: [http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov] won't work, and will instead send you back to the homepage at apple.com/trailers and right-clicking and save as, will, as described above get you a weird named file (depending on browser) that's actually an htmlfile (from apple.com/trailers) with either a name like "Pv+meMQw.html.part" on firefox or in the case of Safari (when pasting the url into the Downloads-window) something like "trailers.html" or "avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov.html".

Cannot watch movie trailers

I have only just gone wireless and now my trusted ATV has access to the internet! All good stuff, YouTube works fine, syncing all works fine but when I click on Movie Trailers I get a message saying 'Downloading trailers' with a spinning wheel which I left overnight. In the morning it was still doing it so I cancelled as I guessed it wasn't working seeing as YouTube content is almost instant ! Any ideas ? Do I need to activate anything in iTunes? Do I need to leave it longer? I have my ATV hooked up to a standard def LCD TV if that helps !

Sounds like a server problem. Hopefully it will pass.
Under Settings (firmware 1.1) you can choose your local iTunes store location so you could set it to somewhere else to see if it's a local issue or not.
If you can see YouTube content then you're connected to the internet.
Only other thing could be some odd port blocking if YouTube and iTunes trailers work on different ports on AppleTV.

How can I get iTunes Movie Trailers?
iTunes Movie Trailers is available in the App Store.
In which countries is iTunes Movie Trailers available?
iTunes Movie Trailers is only available in the United States.
what the??????

I feel your frustration. However, this is not Apple's fault, but rather the owners of the rights to TV, Movies, Trailers, Books and so on. Until a deal is negotated Apple just can't release that stuff world wide. The same has happened in Canada and the UK (where thye speak English also).
In a similar way the BBC iPlayer app can't be used outside the UK.

Movie trailers on iPad 2

When I try to play movie trailers on my iPad2 from the "http://trailers.apple.com/" web page the trailer is displayed way down the page with the only the right half of the trailer visible on the left side of the screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? I have tried resetting my iPad, but that made no difference.

Hey FlorentP75,
I found the following information about syncing SD versions to your iPad:
By default, when syncing video to iPad, iTunes will sync the HD version to iPad when available. You can only sync HD content purchased in 1080p to iPad (3rd generation). You need to download the 720p or SD version from iTunes in the Cloud to sync iPad 2 or earlier, iPhone 4S or earlier, iPod touch (4th generation or earlier), and iPod. Alternatively, you can download the videos directly to your device using iTunes in the Cloud.
If you prefer to sync SD video content to iPad:
With iPad connected to your computer, select it on the left side of the iTunes window.
Click the Summary Tab.
Scroll down to the Options section and select the checkbox for "Prefer standard definition videos."
Now when you sync videos to iPad, only SD versions will be synced.
To undo your change, simply repeat the above steps and uncheck the box next to "Prefer standard definition videos."
