Where do Apple movie trailers download to?

I downloaded a movie trailer today from Apple and it played in Quicktime.  I want to delete it now but I can't find it anywhere!  I have OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.  I searched the internet and there no suggestions that work on my operating system. How do I find this file and delete it?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, "Depending on where you saved it" doesn't really apply here.  If you select download on any of the Apple trailers, it launches Quicktime and starts downloading it inside Quicktime.  I looked for a "save as" from Quicktime but don't see it.
Specific work flows depend on the QT player used, Mac OS in use, and/or manner in which Apple has most recently programmed the "Trailers" web site. For Instance, today the files I tried to view would not open in either player directly so I simply recovered the URL for the files I wanted to view and manually opened them in both QT X and QT 7 Pro players under Mountain Lion. In QT X you use the "Export" option to save the original data to a local MOV file at the location of your choice. You can do the same thing using the QT 7 Pro player using the "Save" or "Save As..." options. File can also be saved as a reference file using the QT 7 Pro player.
I'm sure it downloads somewhere, but it must have a cryptic filename because I Can't find then either!
Also not sure how/where the data is currently cached locally. (Method seems to vary and it never seemed worth the effort to locate them or try to keep up with changes since more direct work flows are available.)

  • Parental Controls / Front Row / Apple Movie Trailers

    I have Parental Controls set up for my children. If they start up Front Row, they have access to the Apple Movie Trailers. Even though these trailers are approved for all audiences, they often contain mature, adult, and disturbing images.
    So, how do I block access to Apple movie trailers? Here is what I've tried:
    1. Remove access to *.apple.com in Parental controls. Didn't work.
    2. Block *.apple.com in SafeEyes (internet filter program). Didn't work.
    3. Uncheck Front Row in Parental Controls. Didn't work.
    Front Row works no matter what Parental Controls says. And the trailers do not seem to be hosted on *.apple.com...
    Any ideas as to what else I can try?
    Thanks in advance!

    "Front Row.app" can be disabled by downloading and installing the "Server Admin Tools" from Apple and using "Workgroup Manager.app", but to avoid the hassle for a one-off like this, try logging in to an "admin" account, launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering a command of the form below, substituting the managed account's "short name" where it says 'username':<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">
    /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -mcxset /users/username com.apple.frontrow PreventActivation always -bool true</pre>
    As an aside, note that the "Front Row.app" in the "/Applications" folder is just a launcher for the actual "Front Row.app" buried in "/System/Library/CoreServices".

  • Apple Movie Trailers Gone In ML?

    Hello Folks,
    I recenlty upgraded from SL to ML. In SL I could press/select command and esc and get an application with Apple Movie trailers to watch.
    I  can no longer do this key command in ML.
    Was this capability removed from ML, or is it still there with different keystrokes?
    Many thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the pointer and link.
    What was a feature in SL was a keystroke combination of command -esc which brought up Apple Trailers. All the trailers were listed in alphabeticlal order with descriptions of each and if clicked on would play.
    It was a really nice feature in SL, and Leopard, used it for years.

  • Apple Movie Trailers Website not displaying Correctly

    Hi, for a few days now when I go to Apples Movie Trailer Website, there's a gap where the trailers should be. Here's a screenshot: http://img198.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100412at422.png/ Does anyone else notice this?

    Hi Stuart,
    I just tried the same page. I think it's an Apple glitch, not your Mac. I had to reload the page 3 times for it to work. You aren't missing any of the movie trailers. For whatever reason the thumbnails are just re-arranged.
    Just in case... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty cache. Relaunch Safari and see if that helps.

  • Can't save apple movie trailers

    I just noticed with OS X 10.7.4 that you do not have the save feature for movie trailers that stream from the apple website. You can save them on iTunes, but if you try off the apple trailer page, you can't save it. You can download it but I've gone searching through my folders, used my search engine, even tried to look for a root folded that could be hidden.
    So below I've added a screen shot of my situation. This is the movie trailer "Beautiful Creatures" that just got released today on Apple Trailers. I can't save the file through Quicktime.
    I'm kind of going out of my mind a little trying to figure out why this isn't working. Anyone have any idea why OS X 10.7.4 doesn't have this option for Quicktime?

    I'm kind of going out of my mind a little trying to figure out why this isn't working. Anyone have any idea why OS X 10.7.4 doesn't have this option for Quicktime?
    The File Menu "Save As..." option has been merged with the "Export" option under Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems.
    As you can see in the image above, the default "Format: QuickTime movie" pop-up option allows the user to "Save a movie file that contains media in the same format as the original movie." Since this data is written to an MOV file container, this action is functionally equivalent to the old QT 7 Pro "Save As..." File Menu option.

  • Apple Movie trailer download doesn't work in Lion

    Has anyone have this problem. When I'm on the Apple movie trailer site, I select the trailer I want to see. Once the movie page loads, there is a roll bar to either select watch now or download the trailer at higher resolutions on my computer. I normally select the 720p versions and quicktime pops up and starts downloading the trailer. Since I've updated to LION, this doesn't happen anymore. Any solutions?
    Thanks

    I think I've solved the problem. It's turning on the extensions to start the ClickToPlugin (2.3.2). Part of the ClicktoFlash extension group. Once I turned disabled ClicktoPlugin, everything worked.  SO BE WARNED!

  • Apple movie trailers not working

    Hi!
    I have a problem watching any movie trailers on www.apple.com/trailers page.
    If I try to open HD trailer it i get a message that URL is not valid.
    If I try to open normal trailer (not HD) I get quicktime logo with question mark and nothing happens.
    Anybody else got this problem or there is something wrong with my mac?

    That has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread in the Quicktime forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307414&tstart=0
    Seemingly there was a period when Snow Leopard users could not see the movie trailers, but it appears to have been resolved.

  • Apple Movie Trailers Compression?

    Any guesses on what kind of compression and what kind of server bandwidth produces these wonderful trailers :--) -- c'mon, give the secret.
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/w/hd/

    It all really depends on your source material. Hollywood productions are very well lit, and are shot on either film, or great quality high definition (progressive). That gives them a huge advantage when it comes to compressing the final result for DVD/Blu-ray/web etc.
    Anyway, have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7928935#7928935
    When testing your settings, remember that you can set in/out points in your sequence in FCP, before exporting, or in Compressor. That way you can do short selections (i.e about 10 secs) of the most challenging parts of your video, for testing purposes.
    Good luck!

  • Font Row 1.2.1: Where are my Movie Trailers?

    Ok the Front Row update came and went and I still don't have any Movie Trailers. I still get the message "The movie trailer server is not responding". Not cool.

    Still not working for me. All of the sharing additions in Front Row also bark some full screen messages at me. I already have everything shared the way I want and don't really care.
    I picked "movie trailers" and honestly thought that "movie trailer is not responding" message would finally be gone.
    For the record, the firewall/quicktime thing doesn't do anything for me either.

  • Iphone4s and iCloud/Apple Movie Trailers app stuck in loop using battery on wifi

    This one is a long story and took me a day or so of looking around to figure out.  I don't know if it causes all the battery drain issues, but it was at times causing some usage on my 4s.
    Background:
    I use my mac as an iTunes server - always running - so AppleTV can reach it etc via homesharing.  I have a TimeCapsule too and a neat feature is wake on demand proxy where if the the mac is set for wake on demand and it is a sleep, the AppleTV will wake it via the proxy.   Works great.  Even the iOS remote apps will wake it.  Anything requesting a bonjour service that is active on that sleeping mac will wake it.  All was good.
    Then one day, I noticed it waking in the middle of the night - whenever the iPhone turned on with a notification.  I thought that was weird.  I quit the apps. hard reset, etc.  Still occured.  I could put the mac to sleep and just turn on my iPhone and it would wake.  Note I have an iPad and it did not exhibit this behavior.  I gave up for a few days.  Mac would go back to sleep after 10 minutes so no big deal.
    Side note  I also have wifi sync OFF.  I had it on for itunes syncing but noticed that iTunes maintained a constant connection to the phone even when not wired so you can drag and drop to the phone etc.    So to be sure that was not draining battery, it turned it back off.  It also would wake on demand when it was enabled so I knew it wasn't that setting causing the issue.
    Investigation:
    I started with netstat and my airport logs.  I found my mac address, ip address, and then found when I turned on the phone a connection established everytime to port 49166 on the phone.   It would create a connection everytime the phone turned on.
    I used 'sudo lsof -i -P' to find the process opening the host port on the mac to that phone port.  It was 'ubd'.  Looking that up on google, I found it was the Ubiquity process.    I also found that it had a log in '~\Library\Logs\Ubiquity'.  Looking at the log, I found the following occuring whenver I turned on my phone and usually very few minutes while the phone was on:
    [ERROR]       99090c4718 [11/11/22 09:50:34.347] {D2650C3E} 264.connect-https://xxxxx-xxxxx-iPhone.local.:49166 parse_cert_challenge:608 signer 0: com.apple.idms.appleid.prd.4243556669426c674b3255694250464d4d41395633513d3d

    I assumed those 401 errors were http errors.  The logging would kick in whenver the phone was turned on.   I figured a loop like that must be using battery at least on wifi.  I don't think it does this on 3g.  I didn't know if this was related to the wake issue but it was the only clue.
    I found a macworld article on problems with iCloud/Ubquity causing a hang.  I didn't have a hang but I wondered if there was a file sync of some sort going on.  I remembered reading somewhere that on OSX, documents for sync are kept in '~/Library/Mobile Documents'.  So I looked there.  I found one file called '43LU875E5~com~apple~movietrailer' and a hidden directory called '.ubd'. which has files with names and id's that matched some early parts of the log.
    I was at a loss.  Since it was a connection problem, I took Safari on OSX, turned on the phone, and connected to the https address in the log.  Sure enough, I got messages from keychain to add roots and ccerts etc. Did this and eventually got an error returned.  But it did connect which meant the phone was running a web server.  Neat.  And ubd wanted to connect to it and couldn't and was going to keep trying forever.
    Since the only clue I had was the movies trailer data file, I went to my iCloud control panel and sure enough there is a movies trailer data file in iCloud (along with my ipad and iphone backups).  So I tried to delete it .  iCloud returned an error and could not delete.  OSX console log showed an http 500 error.  
    So, I figure not much else to do, so I delete the app from my phone and my ipad.  It even gives a nice warning when deleting that you have a file in iCloud that you may want to delete.  Unfortunately, I still couldn't.
    Final Testing
    After deleting the app from the phone, I checked the ubiquity log.  I could turn on and off the phone and it would no longer create the log entries, no netstat connection, no web server running anymore.  I put the mac to sleep, and turned on the phone,  It would not wake it up.  Repeated test.  Passed.  Opened the Remote App and it woke up the Mac as expected.  Everything was back to normal and I no longer had a looping connection between my Mac and my phone.   Note - this occured even when the trailers app was shutdown on the iphone.  This appeared to be an iCloud sync issue.
    Final Thoughts
    - This did not occur with my iPad and it had the same app.  I deleted it there to be safe.
    - I have no clue how much battery this uses.  I have pretty good life most of the time and my assumption is no matter what, it would help to turn this loop off.  It was really the waking the mac all the time that had me bothered. I just stumbled on a bigger issue.
    - I doubt the problem is occuring all the time. My ipad did not have the issue, only the iPhone.  It was likely an anomoly that showed up and may or may not occur.  I thought posting the experience and if anyone else is having similar problems this may help.  I am not advocting that everyone remove the app.  Just take a look around if you are using the app and are seeing issues.

    Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
    Hallelujah!!! Thanks for the correction (fat fingers, as you suspected).
    Now to the good news. I started Safari, then pasted the URL in and pressed Enter. To my utter amazement the quicktime "Q" logo appeared briefly, then a "screen" box in the window and the movie itself began to load. After a short while it began to play, just like it should!
    More good news. The exact same technique worked in Firefox as well!
    Now the not-so-good news. When I enter the URL in Quicktime Player "Open URL", the player window opens showing the audio and video controls but no "viewing screen". I let it run for about 5 minutes and nothing ever appeared. I must qualify this by saying that right now my wireless connection is running very slow, so I will try QTP again when things are moving faster.
    Believe it or not, this is the very first suggestion I tried that actually made a noticable difference. Of course, this is still a workaround (which I will gladly use). Hope there is a permanent resolution to this somewhere.
    BTW, I plan on downloading and re-installing OS X 10.5.2 using the "Combo" package. My original install of both 10.5.1 and .2 were done via "Software Update" and this is the only other suggestion I've seen that might resolve my issue. My plan is to do the re-install only on the G5. If it corrects the problem there, I'll wait a week and then do the same with my MacBook.
    In either case I will let you know the results in a follow-up post to this topic.

  • HT3209 Where are the movies I downloaded

    I purchased movies on iTunes but cannot find them to play back.  Where are they?

    Depending upon what country that you are in you may be able to re-download them on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries), If you can't then you will need to sync them over to the iPad - connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to the iPad's Videos app

  • Where is Apple's Widget download page?

    Hi all,
    Apple used to have a page that had widgets for download on it, actually, it was a zillion pages. This was a central cleaginghouse for most all widgets. I can no longer find it.
    Anyone know where it is?
    Thanks.

    Mike,
    Widget Browser will get you to the link.

  • Why won't the Apple movie trailers play on my Mac?

    Some trailers play the sound, but no video. Some don't do either. This problem exists on my Intel 24inch iMac and my intel Macbook. This problem has existed for weeks if not longer. All other movies, QT or iTunes play just fine. Solution please?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

  • OK, so where are the movie trailers now?

    Link on the Movies section of the store no longer has a link to Theatrical Trailers.  Any ideas what's up??
    Seems like this has happened before but did not see any recent posts.

    Thanks so much for your help on this one. I'm so glad I asked this question because even though it's only 264MB in size at the moment, it could quite easily become GBs of unneeded data.
    It's a bummer that Snow Leopard doesn't have those preferences anymore. It seems that we're slowly losing control of the OS that we use every day. I also needed to manually delete automatically downloaded updates from Software Update that wasn't installed. They really should add an option to clear all these files from the system, rather than making us do it all manually.
    Anyway, thanks again for your help
    Regards,
    Daniel
