Why are the films so expensive on iTunes?

Why is the films so bloody expensive? I can't believe they want so much money for movies from iTunes.

I think is too much expensive as well. I do not know but i do not really think that movie developers control the prices. I think Apple control it. I see it fast same as video shops. They had not the prices from movie developers but they had their own prices (atleast in my country). But whatever, its not necessary to know who control the prices cause one (movie industry) or second (Apple) is stupid in this things.
About 10years back i was registrated in some movie shop i payed about 1$ for movie for a day. Now when i find the prices its on 2$. Apple rental is 5$. Sorry, but in poor countries they rather get the film somewhere on the internet.
If Apple reduce the prices i guess many people with Apple TV instead of get the film by non-legal way will rent the film for 1.5-2.5$. The movie developers, producers, actors, apple will get some money.
For example if any movie will be about 2$ for a day. I will rent film every day. In one year they will get about 500$ (if i will not rent every single day) from me only. Now they got 0$ for a year for me because i do not really want to pay 5$ cause its really too much.

Why are the songs i bought on itunes play the whole song?

I just bought 2 music albums and some of the songs downloaded are not playing all the way to the end. What do I do to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.

Why are the apps I download from itunes .ipa files?

I understand that .ipa files are for jailbroken idevices, but when i download apps (all free so far), and i go to (eindows explorer) my music\itunes\itunes media\mobile apps, all the files are .ipa files.
Not me or anyone else in my family have had anything to do with jailbreaking or cydia. Is it the fact that they're all free apps?
thx

That's not correct. All Apps are .ipa files.
An App for a jailbroken device may well be in .ipa format, but that's not relevant to you if you haven't jailbroken your device.
Someone writes an App for Apple iDevices. By definition, it's an .ipa file.
The App is submitted to Apple who effectively vet it for behaviour unacceptable to Apple.
If the App passes Apple's vetting, it gets into the Store and you can purchase it, either for a cost or for free
If the App is not passed by Apple - or not even submitted to Apple because the author knows it will not be accepted, it isn't in the Store.
Jailbreaking allows people to install Apps that Apple have not accepted into the Store. It doesn't seem to dawn on many people that the reason Apple may not have accepted an App may be because it will harm the iPod, make the iPod unreliable or compromise their security.
You have no need to worry. My additional comments about jailbreaking are to serve as a warning to anyone else who reads your thread in order to deter them from jailbreaking. Further reading can be found here;

HT201318 Why are the costs SOOOOO expensive?

Many of us received the MobileMe expiration notice. The upgrade costs seem price gougy. Any comparisons? Better deals?

If you look at upgrades at Dropbox, and I suspect the other services (google, MS), you'll find they are also pricey.

Why are the songs in my itunes library playing at slow speeds?

Why are the songs in my library playing at slower speeds? They sound likean old casette player with rundown batteries?

What are your hardware specs?
OS, version of iTunes, etc....
Is this on a computer or iOS device?
iPods can change the playback speeds, but in iTunes on desktop/laptop, it could be caused by other programs.

Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

What the heck, why are Test benches so expensive!?

No idea..
But on a similar note, I plati-dipped my rims and brake calipers. They turned out nice.

So I was thinking of plasti dipping or vynil wrapping my PC case at home just to give it a change on the color. Of course I will want to use my PC to watch something online or play a game while working on my case so I will need something to put it in. I thought I should just get one of those open test benches for PC because its easy to install and remove. I was looking for some online thinking it was an easy $20 for a good one. NOPE.. A good one will run you $100. Literally the cheapest one I found was $45. Why are these things so expensive? Im probably going to take a pc from work and make my own.

Licensing, in a word. The movie studios will not allow Apple to add movies to iTunes in the cloud.

Hi sweatt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may find these steps helpful for resolving the issue you're encountering:

Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
Click OK.
Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.
Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.

Why are there limited view movies on iTunes Store

Why are there limited view movies on iTunes Store?
Hi, I want to rent a movie from my iTunes Store on my Apple TV
The movie called "friends with benefits"
And more movies and it's write to me on the top in the right size "limited"
Why??
My age is 23 and all the deitals are true and ok
What I need to do???

Right now, you can only get movies and tv shows if you are in the U.S. or you have a bank account and address in the U.S. Or if you get a gift certificate that is from the U.S. you can access it that way. But if you use an out of the country bank, address or buy a non us gift certificate you are out of luck. What I mean by U.S. gift certificate is one that is purchased in the U.S. or over the net with a U.S. credit card drawn on a U.S. bank. Hope this helps, and sorry. I am an American as well and live in Mexico, and took me awhile to figure it out.

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
