When is iTunes going to open its doors to INDEPENDENT MOVIE PRODUCERS???

Indie music labels can sign up and put music for sale on iTunes... Why can't Indie movie and television producers???
Allowing independent producers to sell their products through iTunes would DRAMATICALLY INCREASE the amount of material for iPods and the Apple TV device and cover audience niches not currently supported by the majors.
Is apple worried about a flood of *********** on its most exciting consumer brand? SO WHAT??? Create a channel for it - allow for protection controls, etc... etc... I'm certain this is NOT beyond Apple's capabilitles...
Prohibiting indie video producers - (limiting them to FREE DISTRIBUTION via podcasts) goes against Apple's "More is Better" approach to media over recent years.
Heads up, Apple! You've done it with MUSIC... do it with VIDEO.
WHAT'S THE HOLD UP???

JC, with very rare exceptions, we're all just your fellow users here, and no one from iTunes Marketing is likely to see your post, much less respond here. I'd suggest you contact them through the this email address:
[email protected]
and ask. The iTunes Store has begun carrying at least some content from independent producers, so perhaps if you contact them, you can work something out.

    Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

  • When is iTunes going to be capable of basic features as proper Crossfading??

    Hi There,
    When is iTunes going to be capable of such a basic feature as proper Crossfading??
    Yes, there has been various  media players for windows for a long time now that are superior to iTunes in many ways, and i guess it is about time that iTunes has those basic features it should have as other simple media players
    - The Crossfade feature for iTunes works only if you let the song play until the very end, that is actually very silly, because the Crossfade feature is there so you can skip a songs smoothly into another song, meaning at any time you want to skip songs you can do it crossfading into the next song.
    now this does not work in iTunes. or while playing a song you can just double click another song and there is an immediate and smooth crossfade into the selected song. (like in other media players) 
    Also it would be very good and important if you can Crossfade within the very same song that is being played, eg: a song that is very long and during the party you want to listen the first minute and then the last 5th minute of it, you can skip it sliding the dot positioning of the player that is moving forward to the right showing you where within the length of the song you are, what other players in Windows can do is do an immediate  crossfade of around 5 sec (it can be customised) so you can also smoothly forward within the same song. I am really surprise that until now iTunes is not capable of doing this useful features, there are some more, but these are those i am concern about.
    Hope you are capable of making this important features available in iTunes so it can get to be a real great music player.

    You can provide feedback to Apple at this link:

    Make sure to specify that you want the crossfade to be beat-matched.

  • Is this beta? The image for Yosemite is a very big rock, appropriate as this OS sends your mac back to the stone-age. iTunes crashes on open, iPhoto won't download, movies won't play, Safari won't show graphics, wifi down to speed of crippled snail.

    Is this beta. The image for Yosemite is a very big rock, appropriate as this OS sends your mac back to the stone-age. iTunes crashes on open, iPhoto won't update, Safari shows text without graphics, can't get Java 8 'cause Safari "can't find server". Wifi slower than a crippled snail. Does anyone know how to uninstall this rubbish?

  • My itunes 7 wont open. its active in the taskmngr though.why wont it work?

    When i click to open itunes 7, it does not load.
    Well, what it does do is load yet it doesn't show up in anywhere but the [task manager(TM)]. Since, i open the TM
    and i see all my processes itunes is one of them and then i try to end the process and it wont work. the only thing i can to to close the process of itunes in the TM is turn off or reset my comp.
    It is irritating as i have had this issue a few times before with version 6, but i just attributed to it to me closing a process or having too much open at once...since, that was usually the case.
    Now its happening for no reason, as itunes will be the only thing i try to run. so if anyone has a similar issue and fixed it or has input. it is appreciated.
      Windows XP   dumb itunes...

    i've seen that symptom before.
    a preliminary question aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits: by any chance, do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?

  • How can I choose not to see home page music video album covers when the itunes store app opens?

    Please help... I own a number of devices (ipad, iphone, etc) that when I go to charge or sync my data, the itunes store opens and I am "assaulted" by the general debauchery and unhealthy living promoted by music album covers.  
    The browser software lets me choose my home page so that I can control my view of an application.  Is it possible to avoid seeing this array of disgusting, generally, pictures? 
    Thanks for any hints. 
    Judith

    You can bookmark all those pages and place them in a folder. Then you can set that folder as the Home page (Use Bookmark). If you only want to open one page then use the folder to choose which one. You can either use the Bookmarks Toolbar or the Bookmarks Menu button to have easy access to the folder.

  • My itunes will not open its showing error 13010

    I'm trying to launch my itunes but every time I click to open the application I keep receiving
    an Error notice numbered 13010 saying unable to open? Any ideas on how i can fix this without risking
    losing the music??

    Hold the option key while starting iTunes and create a new library. Does it start now? If so, it's something to do with your library file. Is there anything we should know about your computer such as you keeping your library on a NAS?

  • ITunes won't open its says "this version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this laungage. Please run the English vresion" hep

    IiTunes won't open says it is wrong langage and to run English version. I am trying to open in windows.
    Apple is

    Try moving the file C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml out to your desktop then start iTunes. This will force iTunes to create a new preference file which may do the trick. You will need to review your iTunes preferences after doing so in case you made any changes to the default settings that you need to reset.

  • When is iTunes going to be avalible for Linux?

    Hi. I wanted to know if iTunes is or will be supported on Linux. iTunes not being available on Linux is the only reason why I haven't switched. If you need to know specifically what Linux OS I want iTunes to be supported on it is Ubuntu.

    Apple have made no announcements that I am aware of, and as fellow users nobody here knows about their plans. However it might be worth considering that the past might be some indication of the future. As long as Linux is a minority operating system it is unlikely to get its own native version of iTunes.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
    However it appears to be possible to run iTunes using a Windows emulator.

  • When is Apple going to open up the iPhone Developer Program?

    I signed up for the iPhone Developer Program almost as soon as one could sign up for it. I was one of the unlucky many who got the "you are not important enough to let into the Developer Program" e-mail. That was months ago when the rumor was that they would be opening it up around the time of the WWDC. Well, it is now WWDC time. Is there any more info on this?
    Why don't I use the iPhone Simulator? The iPhone Simulator does not simulate the accelerometer very well (i.e., it does not simulate it at all) and the accelerometer is important for my app. I can't even tell if my app is feasible without running some test code so that I can get a real world sense of how well the accelerometer works.
    Between this and the significant issues that I am having with my MBP and Apple's lack of response, I am starting to feel that I picked a bad time to start doing Apple development.

    Excuse me, but Apple clearly has decided that some application developers are more important than others. The App Store is opening up next month and I don't think they will be selling apps that haven't been QA'ed on real devices. Oh, I get it. All of the big name mobile software vendors that Apple wants to display in their App Store just happened to get randomly selected.
    "Apple has no way of knowing who has real apps ..." Well, I told them that I did. I even told them that it uses the accelerometers, so the simulator wouldn't help.
    You note that Apple says that there are 21k developers in a holding pattern. What is it about the iPhone Developer Program that stops Apple from just taking people's money and issuing them cookies (or whatever) that allows the downloaded SDK to load apps on real devices? Inviting people over to your house to install your app on their iPhone/iPod touch is not a very good distribution model; the App Store is needed for distribution. The limiting factor is the gatekeeper for the App Store, not a SDK that can run code on real devices. So, why don't they freely distribute a SDK that can run code on real devices?
    After telling the world "look, a SDK for the iPhone" months ago, why can't Apple even give a date to 21k people who took the time to sign up for the Program when they might be able to run their apps on real hardware?
    I want to do things the right way (through Apple's SDK) and I really don't like the idea of jailbreaking, but right now that seems like the only option that I have to proceed with my app development.

  • When syncing itunes goes through the process of syncing cal,mail,etc. but when gets to determining tracks to sync it freezes

    While syncing iTunes will go through the process with no problems but when it reaches the phase that is determining tracks to sync it freezes up.

    I have the same problem when syncing just-released audio books from Audible.com. New books from last month sync fine but not this month. Audible acknowledges an issue with iTunes that would be resolve in the next fix but when is that?

  • When does the iTunes store usually update its libraries with new content in the US, specifically TV shows?

    Hello Apple community. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me approximately when the iTunes Store usually updates its content. I have a couple TV shows I'm watching. I noticed that new episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and The Looney Tunes Show tend to update with the newest episode the day after it airs. Gumball is usually updated on Tuesdays, sometimes every other Tuesday, but the new episode isn't available on the store yet. It's possible that a holiday threw the scheduled update times off. Still, I would like to know approximately when the iTunes Store updates. I like to plan things out so I know when to purchase gift cards. Thanks Apple community.

    The facility to ping the Store, to draw attention to a change in your podcast, has been removed: the Store will check your feed and update - usually this takes 1-2 days. I was never convinced that pinging made any difference anyway.
