Why are some movies only available in languages other than the original version?

I have mentionned this before, and it keeps happening, and it is oh so annoying! Why in the world would you make a movie available in a translated version, but not in the original? This has happened to me several times now, and it is incredibly frustrating. At least when buying movies on Amazon, I always easily know what language it will be in! Films in French? Some are just in French, some are in French and others. Films in Dutch? Quite a few are originals with Dutch, why not do the same in French?

Take it up with whomever or whatever company distributes those films in your country. Those sorts of options are up to the distributors, not Apple. Only the company or people who own or control the distribution rights to the intellectual property can say what is or is not put up in the iTunes Store.

Why are some songs only available for other countries iTunes Stores

I have tried to purchase some songs from the French ITunes Store, but I got an alert saying I had to switch over to the US store to do so. I did, but when I searched for the songs in the US store, I could not find them. Why is this so? Is there any way I can get the songs from the French iTunes Store?
Thanks for the help

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do live in the US. I assume that it works the same, that Apple doesn't have permission to sell the French songs in the US. Thank you for the quick response.
Thanks for the help

It's so frustrating!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Because that's the way the music labels want it.

Why are ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?

Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
thanks.
Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.

Hi Jeff
If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB (sample image this AM)
opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

??? I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
.... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i create a new folder?

The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

Why are some movies in french

My language is set to English.
The movie description is presented in English.
The preview (Jaws for example) plays with the French overdub.
Other previews do the same.
Help appreciated.

Could be an encoding error for the file.
Check in AppleTV audio settings what your default audio language setting is (at least i think it has one) - if this is English I'd guess the encoding is messed up so report it to Apple using 'Report a problem' in your invoice email or via iTunes account purchase history links.
While the movie is playing hold the select button down - if there are multiple language tracks it should allow you to change to English if available - until recently most had only 1 or 2 audio tracks.

Why are some songs not available in the U.S. iTunes Store?

There is a song called "The Moment I Knew" by Taylor Swift. I want to get it off of the U.S. iTunes Store, but it's only available as a ringtone, not a song. And the weirdest thing is that the song is available in other countries along with the Deluxe Edition of Red, but in the U.S., Taylor Swift usually releases the bonus tracks as singles. I need to know!!!

It is not currently available in the US Store. So, you won't be able to get it via iTunes. You can purchase the Red Deluxe CDs at Target, which has the song on them.

Why are some websites very slow loading and others not

Some websites are very slow to load and others not. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to. The affected URL below is one that is very slow. I can understand if it is not an Aussie website. Having said that New York Stock Exchange website "http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI" loads quicker than the subject URL

Why are certain apps only available in certain cou...

There's a Dutch news app for the Nu.nl site. I would like to download this app, but this is not possible outside of the Netherlands (which is where I live). Why on earth is this so? Can't a person abroad read the Dutch news? I've contacted the publisher of the app and asked them why they only made it available in the Netherlands. Their reply was that this was a restriction of the Ovi store. They would like to see it available elsewhere as well.
This is unfortunately just one example of many. Ovi Store can you pleas do something about this?

Hi sks59,
Some highly interactive apps only run on printers with a large touchscreen display.

Why are some fonts not available?

I have found that there are fonts in HD>Library>Fonts that are not showing up in any Collection in Font Book and are not available in apps that I'm working with. Font Book Help does not address this problem.
Some help with this, please?
Peter

What types of fonts are they? If they're Type 1 PostScript, this may be the problem.
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Why are some emails only found in 'search', they do not exist in any of my folders?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1030552 /questions/1030552]''
Emails like bills for my phone and electricity only exist if I do a search for them. They are not in any of my folders. My Junk folder was not previously visible but now is but is empty. Maybe future junk will go there but I still want to know where all the other emails are stored. Where is this limbo folder with emails that can only be found when searching?

Are you talking about a Pop or IMAP mail account?
If IMAP and you are viewing the remote Junk Folder, does this folder get emptied by the server periodically?
Do you have settings in Thunderbird to auto delete Junk after x days?
check here:
Tools > Account Settings > Junk Settings for the mail account
at the bottom - ''Automatically delete junk mail older than xx days'' - is this selected?
''re: On searching for them I can find them but still I don't know where they are ''
Are you using Global Search?
The additional flters on the left side will help to narrow down the list.
If yes, click on 'Open email as list'
then right click on column headers and select 'Location'.
This will tell you the folder.
For future reference:
you could use Message Filters to capture those 'bill' emails and put them in a specific folder.
Create a folder called 'Bills'.
then create a message filter using info like this example.
Filter Name : Bills
Apply filter when:
* Select ' Manually Run
* Select; Getting new mail
* select: Filter before Junk classification
* select: Match any of the following
* 'FROM' and 'IS' and email address
* click on small +
* add another bill email address - repeat as required.
Perform these actions:
* 'Move message to' and select Bills folder on account.
* click on OK to create the Filter.
* Make sure it is enabled.

Why are some Filters not available for some image files?

I noticed that the Lighting Effect filter under Render is not available for all of my image files (grayed out).
I perform a "Merge Visible" for all the layers, but still this filter and some others are grayed out on some images. Does the bit-depth matter (8 or 16-bit) or file type (.PSD or .TIFF)? Thanks.

Many filters don't work on 16-bit files.
Some of them are pretty ancient.

Why are some songs not available for ringtones?

I had a ringtone on my old RAZR phone and loved it. I would like to make it my ringtone on my Iphone. The song is available in Itunes and I saw another post that said some songs even though they don't have a "bell" in the ringtone column can still be made into ringtones. I have the CD, but I downloaded the song anyway and it tells me that song is no longer available for ringtones. How do I go about asking Apple/Itunes to make it available again?

Best thing is to call Apple Support in your country, and/or to post your feedback at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Cheers.

Why are some applications only accessable to one user

Microsoft Office was installed using one user account. I tried to access it from another user account and it fails to launch with an error message. Also Parallels Desktop cannot find existing virtual machines when I attempt to access it from another user account.

Because the copyright holder only allows that. Nobody on these boards will know the reason for it.
