The deal with the new subtitles and audio track feature...
During the keynote, Jobs claimed that chapter selection, subtitles and alternate audio tracks for movies were a new feature on the iPhone. Why that feature would only be available on the iPhone is beyond me -- I assume that the feature is actually available on the iPods, or at the very least on the computer. Indeed in the new iTunes 7.6 the option shows up in the menu. But it's greyed out! What's up with that? And I just purchased several new movies since the upgrade, including Bridge to Terabithia and the Prestige. But when playing either one of those films, the Controls -> Audio & Subtitles option is greyed out (though the chapter selection works). The option is greyed out for my rentals (Superbad and Underdog) too. My wife is not a native speaker and it helps her a lot to have the subtitles. What am I not understanding here? Are only some movies going to have subtitles and audio tracks? Is this a big downside to buying/renting on iTunes instead of just going and buying or renting a DVD?
That would stink if the subtitle/CC option were only available for the iphone. It is more likely though that the movies you tried simply do not have any other language track or subtitles: thus you see them greyed out.
I don't know of any movie that has another language track for sure - though in the Keynote Steve's version of Ratatouille has a French track...

Is there any method to remember the running subtitle and audio stream when navigating through menus?
I have a language Menu named 'Setup' with 4 buttons 1.English 2.Spanish 3.Spanglish 4.Subtitle Off.
To reach this page you have to hit Setup button on Main Menu. The setup button takes to a sub-menu of Setup where I have a symbol of 'tick' at Subtitle Off indicating the state of the current subtitle stream. I have 3 more sub-menus with similar buttons but with 'tick' at different languages indicating the state of the current running/selected language, 2nd page has English with tick, 3rd page has Spanish with tick and 4th has Spanglish with tick. My client wants me to jump on the respective language ticked page when you hit the setup button on Main Menu. As far as I understand we cannot assign a code in Encore to a single button to read what subtitle stream is running.

I have done this in Sonic Scenarist.
Regards,
A GandhiI think this was added in a "newer" version of Encore (meaning anywhere from CS4 up). In any event, it is available in Encore CS6.
There is a menu (not button) property that allows yoi9u to make the active subtitle track button the default (i.e. selected/highlight shows) just as you want. -
I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.
After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed. -
I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?
Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one. -
I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?
Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased. -
I have two apple ID, and I can't switch between them, although I change to my old ID, and it remains in the new ID, and I can't update to old purchases I did with the old id.
I already did according to your suggestion (sign in and sign out) and the id remain on the new one.
Is there something more affective? -
I have 2 ipod touches. I backed up the new one with old's info. The old one will not unlock with the password I had wrote down and I tried my new ones password. How can I reset the old ipod without affecting the new one and how can I unlock the old one?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?
To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck. -
Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?
I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix! -
I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?
Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS. -
I have been trying to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer. As a result I have ended up with many of my apps on the old computer, but missing from the the new one and the iPhone. How do I get the apps on the old one to the iPhone and then the new computer?
You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?
Ok.
I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
Hope I managed to provide enought info.
Thanks in advance
