So I have to watch movies in German just because I live in Austria?

I always watch movies in their original language and was extremely disappointed to find out I had to watch a movie in German just because I live in a German-speaking country! It's not like I have the option of creating an iTunes account other than for the country I live in, so why in the world is one not able to choose the original language (in this case english) if this is possible on every DVD and BluRay!?!?
The UK and USA stores had the same movie in german, but without a US or UK iTunes account, I cannot get that movie! When I hold the round button On the remote I can only select chapters... No mention of langauge whatsoever. Simply pathetic! I am not impressed!!
If apple does not get this sorted i will no longer be using the appleTV services. What a waste of my money!
Regards,
Moe

If i were able to see what languages are available prior to purchasing the movie, i would have been so peed off about the whole thing. Thx for your link though!
I think that's the problem - unless they list any alternate language tracks, there aren't any - it's usually just stereo plus/minus Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks in the language the store defaults too.
Whether or not this is just to keep the files 'simple' or related to regional rights issues with various soundtracks I have no idea but I think primarily it's to make files smaller for download purposes - the assumption you want the audio in a particular language is flawed but probably suits 99% of users - not saying that's right, just likely.

HT1657 I have not watched movie but only have 1 day to view?

Downloaded a rental movie from ITunes have not watched it but it says I have only 1 day to view? Thought it was 30 day rental once views could be watched within 48 hrs? How do I solve this problem? Have not been billed yet?

Did you click play on it ? Even if you only watched it for a second then the countdown before it expires will start, which is 24 hours if you are in the UK, 48 hours elsewhere.

Watching movies via usb on my Samsung HDTV (46C6300)

I have been watching movies on my TV by plugging in my flash drive and playing either mp3, mk4, avi, etc. When I try to do the same with My Passport USB 3.0 (for Mac), the machine reads the device, but doesn't read/find any of the movies that I have copied onto the Passport. What am I doing wrong? I was told that I could watch movies via My Passport in the same manner as with my "Cruzer Flash Drive". Can someone help? My husband is getting pretty upset that I do not have this up and running yet. Any help is gratefully appreciated!!!
Thank you!

Any movie player crash while watching movies online

Hi. I have a problem with my Sony Xperia e3 (D2203). When I stream/watch movies online it just exits from the player after about 10 min. How can I fix this? Cause I have tried to download other movie players, but they also just exit after about 10 min without saying anything. And then I have to start watching from the beginning. It is really annoying.

Ok. I just tried it out and it was OK when the film is in the storage. So it is the streaming problem. Maybe its the apps problem, that I am using to watch movies online. BTW it's showbox.

I have bought some movies and the don't sync to my iPod touch it comes up with this message that says it cannot be played on my iPod. Please can someone help

I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
Does anyone know what is wrong?

Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

I have vlc player movies on my external hard drive; can i watch these on the apple ipad?

i have vlc player movies on my external hard drive; i normally watch them on an windows laptop; can i watch these on the apple ipad?

<edited>
There's a vlc streamer app in the app store, but you would need to also install the streamer helper on the device where the movies reside. This works between my macbook and my ipad, but if you cannot access the external drive and install the helper file, then probably not

Lightning connection for new iPad. What do I need to watch movies on my TV as composite cables have pin connection?

Have been using composite cables with my old iPad to watch movies on TV. About to purchase new iPad with lightning cable, so will the lightning to 30 pin adapter do the job of connecting my ipad to the composite cables? Will it play the movie successfully on my TV?

Wendy
