So few HD movies to buy???

Hello,
I just bought an AppleTV today and I have some questions.
Why are there so few HD movies available to buy when you can rent a HD version of so many?
Are all iTunes Extras movies (and Extras) in HD, and can AppleTV play iTunes Extras content or iTunes LP bonus content?
Cheers

The movie studios decide what they make available and under what formats, that's not Apple's decision. Use the Column Browser from the View menu in iTunes to get a broader view of everything that's available.

In theory, at least, they should play on the ATV.

you have a different issue then, sounds like your appletv cannot get access to the internet.

there's no point emailing apple, as the issue is most likely internal to your network and not a fault with the appletv.
Does upgrading to snow leopard help?
that would have no affect on the appletv being able to access the internet.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

What happened is...the movie never was fully downloaded.After checking things over and over. i checked downloads and sure enough there was still 10 mins of downloading.For some reason it didnt download the whole movie in one shot.Not sure if that is common..but now i know to check it.

What do you do when a movie you buy, will not down load?

what do you do when a movie you buy , will not down load?

I tried again this morning. All I see is a white screen with the words "iTunes Store" in the center of it, in gray. When I click on store at the top, and then "Home", the top of the browser says "Accessing iTunes Store" with a progress meter that goes halfway, stops and then it turns into the black Apple logo. Same thing happens when I try to click on that little house icon.
Do you guys see album covers in there, or what? I downloaded the itunes software yesterday to my desktop AND laptop, and I am experiencing the same problem on BOTH computers. I am running Vista Home Premium, on DSL.
Oh, and thank you for the link to the troubleshooting for this--I am reading it now, trying to figure this out.
I finally figured out that I could access the iTunes store from my iPod (duh!!) last night, but I'd like to be able to do this on my PC too. So it's larger and easier to see.

How do you get the movies you buy on apple tv over to my library?

You need to download them to your computer by going to the iTunes store - purchased (under quick links)

Does it make sense to buy an iPod touch 5th gen. 64 gb with iOS 7 and upgrade it to iOS 8, or spend a few bucks more and buy one with iOS 8 already installed?

The iOS update us free so I would get the less expensive one.
If you are getting a used one make sure this is done before you purchase it. Otherwise it may still have the Activatin Lock on

Apple's new iCloud tool can show if a used iPhone is stolen

Received email promo for "Gravity" clicked, taken to movie clicked 'Buy'@ $19.99 asked for ID clicked and was refused purchase sent to Australian site movie unavailable, *** $29.99 in Australia ..Free Trade Agreement?..out the window!!! Apple lost supreme court case here over hardware over-charging for products avilable in Australia paying $200 or more on hardware eg: 8TB G-Rad storage US $800 AUS $1100 (which I paid) 6mths later Court Judgement. asked for balance refund..Not even credit to be used with Apple...Not happy I have 450 movies on iTunes I wonder how much extra I've payed

You apparently got onto a US mailling list and were inapplicably sent a promotion only valid in the US. And pricing is set primarily by the movie distributors in Australia, with many other factors also involved. In any case, this isn't the place to discuss international pricing issues.
There's nothing any of us here, your fellow users, can do about this. If you want to complain to Apple, use their feedback page:

A Few Questions Before I Buy

Hi,
I'm getting ready to buy a Mini(2Ghz, 320G, Upgrade to 4G RAM).
I have a few things I could use some advice on.
I plan to edit some video, SD not HD, home movies and self produced documentaries, nothing too complex.
I would like to capture video from a MiniDV camcorder(FW) to an external FW400 drive. With one port, I'm not sure the best way to do it. Should I adapt the FW800 to 400, connect the drive then connect the camera to the drive, or should I get some type of hub? If I need the hub, I find plenty to split a FW400 port to multiple ports, but I don't seem to find anything that will connect to a FW800 port and split it out to FW400 ports. . . .
I've spoken to a sales rep at the Apple store, and at 800-MY-APPLE. They both say this is no big deal just connect the camcorder to the Mini and away we go.
Capture the video in iMovie, and then copy it to the external drive. OK, I'm no Guru here, but most of the information I've found on the www strongly discourages trying to capture DV to a 5400RPM drive, ESPECIALLY a system drive. I REALLY would like to hook up the External drive AND Camcorder at the same time.
Once I have the video captured, I have a decision to make about editing software. Since my Camcorder doesn't have a mic input, I frequently capture my sound with a ZOOM H2 digital recorder. When I edit, I then have video, camera audio and a wav file from the ZOOM. To sync this audio track with the video, I need to slide the wav audio around the timeline with pretty fine resolution to match the video with good tight sync. In my experience with several PC editors, I've found this really difficult to do since most of them limit the editing of audio tracks to one frame accuracy, or 1/30th of a second, which is WAY too coarse to get really good sync with the picture.
So, I'm wondering if iMovie would allow me to slide my audio around the timeline freely, or should I be considering Final Cut Express instead?
After years of PC ****, I'm looking forward to the new Mac. Just want to make the right choices. . .
Thanks for the help!

A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
I will start with the hardware questions first:
I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
Now a couple of software questions.
After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
Question: Which is true?
My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
Cheers,
Alex Bogdan

Alex,
I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
Qn 1 Which Mac.
Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
          Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
          Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
          You can get:-
                              3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
                               2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
                               Of course such a model will cost you more.
          In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
          But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
          Again only you will know the answer to that.
Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
         Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
          It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
          Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
          First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
          Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
          The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
          So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
         So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
           I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
           You would need to contact Adobe about that.
Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
          Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
         Here is something that you may want to know:-
          Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
          However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
          It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
          However here is the point:-
          Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
         Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your    machine.
          Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
Personal Comment:-
          It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
          That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions.

I am having a weird problem with my phone every since it was updated this last time. I can sync movies from my computer to my iphone but any movies I buy with my phone I can not sync to the computer. But I redownload it to the computer and can then sync.

I for the first time since buying my iphone and ipods for almost three years am concedering getting rid of them as I am getting tired of this problem. I can sync anything from my computer to the iphone. I can not sync movies bought on the iphone to my computer. I have tried everything and spent days trying to trouble shoot. I literally have bought hundreds of movies off Itunes but will not buy any thing else until I can figure this problem out. I have uninstalled Itunes reinstalled, troubles shooted using the itunes trouble shooter and reset my phone and nothing works.
When I try to sync from my phone to the computer it says it can not be done because the iphone is not hooked up to the computer. I have only had these problesm since the new update not before. I have bought new cables twice to see if it helped and has not. Both my kids have Ipods, I have a Iphone and was planning on buying two Ipads for the kids for Christmas but not if I can fix this.

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

I have a digital copy of harry potter and the daethly hallows part 1 on my pc and ipod touch, is it possible to get the iTunes extras for this movie without buying it off iTunes?

is there any way of helping me out please

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
You might want to create a seperate iTunes library for him, perhaps on another user account on the system and move all of his Jazz music over to that new library. Once you have all of his music moved over to his own library, remove it from your own and then resync both of your iPods to clear his music off. This is just one way to do it.
If that was a bit confusing, take a look at this article for a few ways to manage multiple iPods with one computer.
