Why are my iTunes movies subtitled in Spanish?

I'm not sure if it's an iTunes issue or iPad (the device upon which I watch my movies), but when I watch a movie and there's the occasional subtitle, it's always in Spanish. I can't figure out how to change this. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is something that's been an issue for many of us. The solution that works for me (some of the time) is to turn the subtitles on and make them US: English. With some movies it will turn off the subtitles altogether, as weird as it sounds. After the movie plays for a while I can sometimes turn the subtitles off and all will be fine. It's a problem with the movie itself, not with your device. Apple is aware, from what I read online, but they don't have a fix or an explanation for it.

Why are my iTunes movie rentals and music stuttering, out-of-sync and freezing?

I've been having this issue ever since I updated to iTunes 11.0.1.
I'm running a mac mini, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB of memory on 10.7.5.
I've never had this issue before, having watched HD movies from the iTunes store successfully in the past. Only with the last two (Looper and now Source Code) have I been experiencing problems. I've noticed the same issue with music. Songs will freeze and stutter.
I've tried contacting Apple directly. All they do is refund the price of the rental. I need a resolution or I will NOT be using iTunes for much longer.

I am also having an issue like this with iTunes HD content.
I will be watching a TV show or movie and video will pause
for a second or two then start again. Audio during this period
is not interrupted. This can happen once or as many as 3 or 4
times during a viewing.
I have a MacMini 2010 connected via HDMI.
As a note, it seems to me to be an iTunes HD (DRM) issue, as I can play,
with iTunes, material that is 1080p @ 8 megabit/second without any
issue.
In addition, I can play 1080p content @ bitrates as high as 33 megabits/second
with other players and have no issue what so ever! I can also play Blurays when
using Windows 7 in Bootcamp with no issue what so ever.
Is this issue only related to HDMI connections or is it also present with other
set ups?

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.

Why are so many movies available in high def for ipad, but not for imac?

ok. another question, why are so many itunes rentals and movies unavailable in high def for rent or buy on an imac? i have a 27 inch imac. and an ipad, and it's funny, it will let me rent a high def video on the ipad, but not on the imac. it's wierd, i don't get it, because there are movies i would rent or buy on my imac, that i'm not going to buy now because of this.

It depends on the contract w/the distribution company. Lionsgate for example has licensed their movies for resale on iTunes, not rental. Paramount allows some movies to be sold(not sure which ones and why) and others for rental, but the standard rental agreement between Apple and the movie studios is that rents will not be available for 30 days after the DVD is released.
Edit: Well, looking at the AppleTV site it looks like Lionsgate allows rentals also now, but there may be terms in the contract which say which movies can be bought/rented.

Why are my iTunes and iPhoto crashing every time I try to open them?

Why are my iphoto and itunes crashing every time I open them? This is a new problem on my Mac Mini. Have the latest software on my Mac Mini and the latest iLife sotware. My mac mini is about 5 years old, always kept up to date.
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics Intel GMA 950 64 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

Hello Majorie,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Why are closed caption movies being pulled from iTunes?

As of today there is only one movie left in all of iTunes that is Closed Captioned. This is a real problem for those in the deaf community that have purchased iPods & iPhones, or even just those who use iTunes on Macs & PCs.
While Apple may not be fully liable, I am sure it is against the spirit of the ADA, and definitely not consumer friendly.
There is a small argument for blaming the movie studios for not providing CC content. Apple should be proactive in requesting movies be CC.
What is the reason for pulling existing movies that were CC and replacing them with non-CC versions?

If the CC movies are coming back, how does that work with those of use who purchased non-CC movies? I see 145 movies, not too many of which I want to see.
I love the Harry Potter movies, but I have a harder and harder time understanding them. My deafness is such that not only do I find it difficult to understand what's being spoken if there's a lot of ambient noise, but I also have a lot of difficulty with foreign accents (my being USian). My hearing is bad enough to qualify me for a TTY phone! The sound quality (even if the settings are the same in iTunes) is uneven across the movies, and all I want to do is watch the movie and understand what's being said!
If I can't get the closed captioning with the movies and TV shows on iTunes, I'll just have to purchase or rent from Blockbuster and the like.
It boggles my mind that iTunes has overlooked this issue. I guess you get what you pay for.

Why are my purchased movies from apple TV not appearing in itunes?

I have purchased movies on both my itunes and apple tv. However, my apple tv movies do not appear on my itunes. I would like to either have them all on my itunes or all on my apple tv (or is it iCloud??).
Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you.

If a movie is removed from the iTunes store then yes you would lose it.
I think you misunderstand what icloud is, there is no 'raw contents'.
iCloud allows for reloading of past purchases (it is simply accessing what is on the storefront), syncing contents between devices and backup of mobile data. It is different from say something like dropbox.

Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store, Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store

I assumed that the original soundtrack was part of the movie when I bought a dubbed movie (danish in my case), as is the case with DVD and Blueray movies. Apparently it is not...

Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

ITunes Movie Subtitles in different languages - unavailable

I think this would be a digital rights distribution issue, however my wife who's from Taiwan can rent or purchase a good 90% (from what I can tell) of the content we get on the Australian iTunes store, however there are three notable differences...
1) They get all the international content too - I admit, I would never really have preferred to listen to a song in a different language before meeting someone who spoke a different language, but even though my wife speaks Mandarin the iTunes store has Korean, Japanese, Cantonese, etc, plus English / western songs. Although I have found some of the international songs in the Australian store - but we get maybe 5% or less...again, just from my observation.
2) The Movies in the Australian iTunes store come with English Subtitles as standard, and sometimes with German and French. The same movie on the Taiwan store comes with subtitles for; english, french, hebrew, indonesian, malay, mandarin, russian, chinese (both simplified and traditional), thai, turkish, ukrainian, and vietnamese.
3) In Australia, we rent Tangled for $4.99 for the HD version, in Taiwan it's $2.85 for the same HD version
Needless to say, as far as costs go, the differences are huge across music and video clips too. $3.29 for a video clip in Australia, $1.07 for the same clip in Taiwan. Now, some might say it's scale of economies - however I disagree...afterall, the iPhone/ipad/mac's are about the same price here as they are in Taiwan (after money conversion), which makes them almost 3 times more expensive than we have to pay in Australia. I have no idea how they can afford tech over there. Anyway, I don't think Apple can discount the price of hardware - I don't know how much it costs to make an iPhone, but it seems like there's not loads of margin in it perhaps after paying for all the R&D and what-nots.
I also wouldn't think the Music industry is losing money selling tracks at the price they are in Taiwan, so that would just mean they're making an absolute killing in Australia and even the US - yes...it seems some Asian countries pay even less than what those in the US pay. (Call me maybe $2.19 AUS, $1.29 US, $0.70 Taiwan)
What's your thoughts?

Thanks, I left feedback...and I totally understand - what you've mentioned is nothing I haven't already heard before.
But as it was noted on the other thread you linked, this issue should've been resolved via electronic distribution (aside from media licensing), although it appears that I can't see a justification for an Asian country to have all the English content - if we can't get the other content too.
Actually, i'm not even bothered that we can't get Asian films and content, it's more surrounding the question of why the things like subtitles are stripped off our content when it might actually help people who live here to enjoy content available from a legal source. After all Australia is a multicultural hotpot.
By comparison, other Asian countries as used in my example really only have a few immigrants, but most are usually just understanding Asian languages.
I hope that makes sense...
Thanks!

Why won't itunes movies play in itunes?

I am running windows 7 ultimate, with updated drivers for video card, sound card, etc. Some itunes downloaded content will play (It's a wonderful life) in quicktime, but not in itunes. Pacific Rim will not play in either, and yet some music videos open in itunes, but not music movies. Yesterday I opened Pacific Rim in quicktime, and that made it possible to open in itunes, but today nothing opens in itunes at all. All are protected mpeg-4 files bought and downloaded through itunes. I'm so frustrated....

Could you walk us through what happens when you try to play the movies, please?

Why are my iTunes songs switched around?

Hi, why is my music messed up in my iTunes??? I play one song and even though it has the right album cover and the right name of the song I want to listen to it plays a completely different song! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!?! I also have to have wifi now? ***!!!!
FIX THIS NOW!!

Sorry for the delay in responding as I missed your 7/29 post.
I do have a partitioned hard drive and that could be part of the problem. I moved my music files to the D drive from the C drive as my C drive was filling up and I thought this might be an easer solution since I have tons of movies and my library is large.
I don't know how to determine the encryption type. The "kind" on a song that stops playing is "purchased AAC audio file."
Now, my iTunes has lost all my files and playlist's and I will have to rebuild everything.
Do you think the issue could be the partitioned hard drive?
