'Skyfall'  region -free digital copy limited to UK & ireland only?

I purchased 'Skyfall' on Blu ray/DVD/digital download from Amazon UK as a 'region-free' purchase. I'm in New Zealand. On arrival the case says 'Plays anywhere' followed by the itunes logo. The Blu Ray dn DVD work fine. But trying to activate the digital copy on itunes, the voucher code displays an error 'only valid in UK and Ireland'
Fox Digital tell me their code is valid worldwide and the restriction is placed by Apple.
Changing the itunes store location to the UK does not fool the system which recognises my physical loation and resets it to New Zealand.
Fox suggested it will work fine with Windows media player but I want it on my ipad!

I stick by what I have said.

Fox can supply all the acces codes they want. But if Apple says we're not letting this UK /Ireland code work on itunes NZ, then there's not a lot Fox can do. Apple have the ball in their court and seem to be refusing to play.
Well, Fox have more clout with Apple than you or I do.
Still down to Fox to argue with Apple, although why Apple should take such a stand would be a mystery to me. They don't own the rights to the film, Fox do, and it's Fox who decide where the film is sold, not Apple.

  • HT204370 I downloaded my free digital copy of VEEP but episode 7 is not showing as available only with the dreaded !

    How do I get the episode that for some reason is not available?

    Wrong. BC works AFTER installing Mac OS X unto ONE, and only one, partition, then run Boot Camp from Apps/Utils folder, create Win partition and, from Lion on, create a CD with necessaru drivers for running Windows. Therefore, the basic condition is to have ONLY ONE partition, install Mac OS X (any), then run BC in order to create the win partition.
    In your very case, you must get to the condition of having one partition only, see whether you can delete the FAT partition with disk Utility, get to one partition, then run BC in order to create the win partition and drivers CD, then install Windows. The operation may not work if disk is too fragmented (probably it is not). In any case, backup your data before any such operation.
    If not clear, please come back with details.

  • HT1539 Copied Skyfall from the digital copy - plays but no video, no audio

    I'm running W7 and iTunes 11.0.1.12. iTunes says it downloaded the file at 2.3GB and it plays but I get a blank screen and no audio. All other movie files play just fine.

    Hi Shippster,
    Ok. in stages so that we can see where they might be adrift.
    They should Add Buddies by using the + sign at the bottom of the Buddy List.
    The choose Add Person
    In the pop out Choose New Person
    AND Then they need to choose the Account type first.
    (It is possible to Add AIM name as @mac ones and vice versa. AIM servers where the Buddy list is held can not tell if it is a valid name or not. It will presume the Buddy is Off line if type and spelling are wrong)
    Also in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    In here they should select their screen name on the left (Click once)
    On the right they should select the Security tab.
    This should be set to Allow All whilst testing (later when names are spelt right or the right type they can Allow Buddies only)
    Some more info with pics http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page6.html
    So, so far we have the fact they should check the View Menu to Show Video and Audio Status items to see other peoples camera a Audio icons.
    They need to change their camera if they are the end with the Canon.
    They need to check their Buddy list to make sure they added their Buddies as the right account type and spelt those Buddies Screen Names correctly.

  • Free Mountain Lion limited to new computer only?

    Hi all,
    I have a new Mac Pro that qualifies for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. Does anyone know if I'll be able to install it on my 2011 MacBook Pro too?
    If not, is there any point of going through the free upgrade process since I'll have to buy it from the Mac App store anyway? (which CAN be installed on multiple machines)

    Once you redeem your code and install ML on your new Mac Pro, the ML item in the MAS will show a Download button instead of $19.99.
    I can confirm this, because I logged onto my wife's early-2008 MacBook and the MAS showed a Download button for ML.  Her MacBook is not compatible with the update, however.

  • IPod Digital Copy on all international copy's of Blue Harvest?

    I was wondering if this itunes version would be available on UK Region 2 Blue Harvest DVDs?
    also is there a icon on the back of fox DVDs that have the ipod copy contained in them?

    No, the rental service (which the blue harvest promotion relies on) is still us based only currently.

    Blue Harvest is the only movie that offers a free digital copy, so there is no way of knowing that yet.

  • Help with digital copy film on mac

    hi, i got the hangover blu-ray for christmas and it comes with a free digital copy, which i was very happy about, so i follow the steps and go to the website where it says, sorry, its windows only, this is the first time i have had one that is windows only, now as well on the website's main page there is a help video which shows a video being transferred to a iphone/ipod touch, yet when i select that i have the hangover blu-ray and want the digital copy, it says sorry, windows only. any ways of getting it on my mac would be very helpful and make my christmas. thanks in advanced.

    It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
    Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

  • 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.

  • Mac ejecting Star Trek digital copy

    Hi--I've just purchased the Star Trek 3-Disk edition containing the digital copy. I've tried inserting the digital copy disk a dozen times and it seems to try reading and then ejects it. I've tried other disks and dvds and they work fine. Grateful for any help/advice.

    No difficulty here loading the disk. Once loaded the only way to get it to play is to open iTunes and click 'Star Trek' in the sidebar under 'Devices'. You will be asked to enter the code printed on the insert slip, then the film should be transferred to your iTunes library (I haven't tried this as I've no wish to clutter the library up). The digital copy is standard definition, stereo only.
    If the disk won't load it may be scratched or damaged in some way. Can you try it on another computer?

  • Blue ray will not let me redeem my digital copy on itunes

    I just opened a new copy of the "Seven Pounds" Blue Ray DVD and it has a digital copy disc inside...only problem is it will not let me transfer the digital copy to my itunes b/c it was supposed to be redeemed by March 2010....So what do I do now?  How can I get the digital copy onto my itunes...I have the code to redeem but it's not working b/c the date is two years past the redemption date....***!!!!  PLEASE HELP ME

    This is a not infrequent observation here.  It's a somewhat underhanded practice by the movie industry and you just have to read the expiration date before buying a movie if you want the digital download too.  You can complain to the distributor of the DVD but that's about all that can be done.

  • 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.

  • Skyfall Digital Copy is not 1080P?

    I recently purchased the Blu-Ray | DVD | Digital Copy of Skyfall.  Upon transferring the Digital Copy through iTunes, I noticed the file size is 2.03 GB, Video Dimensions: 853x354. 
    The size of the download on the iTunes store for HD is 5.38 GB (1080p HD)
    My question is, what am I getting with the Digital Copy if not 1080p?

    I might be mistaken - this might not apply to *all* movies. I recently purchased a Blu-ray edition of Looper, and the download for that is 4.39GB; very close to the claimed '4.71 GB 1080P' version on the iTunes Store. The download also has the HD tag.
    So I suppose it varies by studio / movie too?

    I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere.  I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account.  I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    Hey cptniemo,
    Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:

  • How can i get a free digital download for the Logic express 9 DVD version

    I recently bought an new Imac. There is no dvd player. What gets me frustrated is that i own almost all Apple products, but i can't seem to get my DVD version of Logic Express on my new imac. I tried to share the dvd drive of my macbook pro, but that doesnot work with copy protected software. So i can't install from that external dvd drive.
    So now i have a:
    Iphone
    Ipad mini
    Macbook pro
    Imac
    and ik can't use my officially purchased version of Logic. Microsoft offers a free digital download for registered version of Office for Mac. Is er there also a free digital download for Logic Express? Anybody?
    If there is not, i feel ripped off.
    Thanks.

    Why not ask in the Logic Express forums?
