Why are there so few genres for tv shows on the Apple TV?

Missing genres:
Classics
Independent
Documentaries
Family
Action and adventure (thriller)
Fantasy
Romance
Sci-Fi
Foreign
Sport
Music
Is it just that Apple's tv show collection is not large enough to match the genres?

Unfortunatly, the market for developing apps for mobile/tablet devices is much greater than the one for computers. Depending on what kind of applications you are looking for, you can find decent apps online that may not be available on the app store.

  • Why are there so few games for Mac OS X?

    Yes, I do know the answer, because everybody writes software for Windows.
    But aren't we at a point where times are changing? Many people exchange their PC's for a Mac nowadays, and the number of Linux (which is basically the same under the hood) is rapidly growing too. Those people like to play games too, don't they?
    Does anyone see some light in the distance for companies porting their games to the Mac too?

    Agreed. You have to remember everything is drive by economics in our capitalistic society so games are written for the OS that has largest market penetration and most likely to return huge profit and currently that is Windows. That is also why one of the most famous game programmers, John Carmack, just recently rewrote some of his games for iPhone/ipod touch and made quite a nice profit from his own account.
    "Carmack said that there was a lot of "hand wringing" initially over the idea of spending the company's own money (there was no publisher to help fund development) on making games for the iPhone. Doom Resurrection, when it hit, was probably the most expensive game to develop for the iPhone, Carmack says.
    "It did really well for us," he said. "It was Wolfenstein Classic that made the argument for iPhone development for me. We made quite a bit of money off of that."

    That is not to say that Mac's can't be used as game machines since Apple actually has a webpage dedicated exactly to this you can check out:
    http://www.apple.com/games/hardware/
    So in a nutshell to answer the OP question the reason you see fewer games on mac's is because it's not profitable. As you can see if there is no technical limitations writing games like Doom3 for iphone there is none for the mac.
    I know I've personally not bought a macosx game since I also have a pc and use that for games so I'm not helping the business case for more games for mac. Vote with your pocket and go out and buy more mac only games if you want to see more for the mac.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • Why are there no advantech drivers for labview by ni ?

    the advantech drivers do not integrate well in labview. The VIs provided by advantech are not direct equivalents and neither do they have the same features. I need some help on this.

    Hi PC
    I am using an Advantech PCI-1713 card and I was just wandering how your program is going because I am having difficulty with mine and was wandering if you would like to help each other out.
    I am trying to measure 16 channels using one of there sample VI, I think it must be the same as your Multi Channel Interrupt VI you described in your message.
    I have a question, how do you get it to save more than one cycle because mine is only saving one cycle and I do not know how to fix it.
    For example if I enter COUNT = 100 then it will only save 100 samples. How did you get your VI to continue saving samples???? I also am using Cyclic.
    I am new to DAQ and would like any help if possible
    I have attached the Vi and an example o
    f what I am getting.
    Cheers mate

  • Why are there no up/down arrows to show recent sites on the "Back/Forward" browser arrows?

    FF 3.6 and earlier had a very useful feature on the "Back" and "Forward" navigation arrows that allowed me to quickly jump to pages a few farther back (or forward) than the just one I get by clicking the "Back" (or "Forward") arrow.
    With FF 4.0, those very useful arrows are gone. How do I get them back?

    If you just click and hold on the button you get the menu with all the sites you've been to. Then just click on the one you want.

  • Are  there any technologies avialibe for media transmission over the web?

    Hello everyone!
    My task is to capture and transmit video and audio information over the Internet. JMF works well on handling media but I also have to embed it somehow on the web page.I don't want to use applets .
    I would also like to know about web technologies that have implementations for media steaming over the Internet.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I am interesting on this topic too. I'd like create a web tv so I have thought to use JMF to learn source from camera and a Flash player for client side, so it can easily wrapped in website.
    To convert video/audio flow to flv I'm thinking to use JAVE (Java Audio Video Encoder) but I don't know if it solves my problem...
    At the least, I have seen even for Red5, that is a open source flash server...
    But now I don't know what is the best way... XD I am confused XD

  • Why are there multiple keychain records for same email account?

    I have noticed that it takes sometimes up to 45 seconds for Apple Mail to send (whoosh...) an email. Then I started getting an alert asking for my password intermittently.
    I checked my KeyChain Access and note 5 records for this email account dating back to 2007 and while the password hasn't changed in all these years, I note the "Where" field is different in some of these records. So my uneducated hunch is Apple Mail is getting a little confused and having to go thru all 5 records insteads of just one.
    As note multiple records for other email accounts and website logins I have.
    1. Why is this happening?
    2. Is it normal
    3. Can I, should I, delete all but one for each item be it an email account or web login, etc.
    or
    Should I delete all 5 and let a brand new one be created for Keychain next time I send or get email for this particular email account?
    I also see there is some info on keychain syncing. Does this have anything to do with my situation?
    Thx,
    Steven

    I'm a little distracted with Steve's passing. He will be missed to say the least
    But if it isn't too disrepectful to reply at this time, I'm unclear with your advise because there are 5 items all for the same email account. A couple are duplications, and the others have slightly different "Where" info.
    I can't imagine I need all 5 and wonder if I should delete 4 and keep the newest one?
    All my email accounts have multiple entries.
    Anyone know why this is happening and if it's OK to delete the oldest ones and keep just the newest?

  • Why are there two separate packages for extra/zip and extra/unzip?

    The package info for both indicate that they come from the same website. It seems strange and inconsistent with what is normally expected. For example, there are not separate packages for gzip and gunzip or bzip2 and bunzip2.

    1. They are represented as distinct programs on the website.
    2. They are developed independently, they even have different version numbers.
    3. Although the binaries are very small, some people only need one of them. I never create zip files, but I have to unzip them often.
    4. They seem to have different dependencies.

  • Why are there so many updates for Adobe Flash & Reader?

    It seems like I am having to update at least once a week. This is very tedious. Also, $39 to chat with someone about my issue???

    There aren't that many. For instance Adobe Reader XI had updates in January, February and May, only three this year.
    What there are is a great many SCAMS from people who say they want you to update, and instead fill your computer with goodness knows what.
    If you aren't sure whether you have been taken in by one of these, a good thing to do is to post a screen shot of the message telling you to update (don't try to reply with a screen shot in an email, it won't work).

  • Why are there so few printers that airprint supports?

    i am curious to find out if anyone knows why apple was so selective on printers that airprint would support. i have a hp photosmart c7280, it has wi-fi capabilities but alas is not in the "list" of printers that apple says will work with airprint. why? instead i have to rely on a 3rd party app (print magic) to do that. print magic is a good app but i would figure that apple would want to give prefference to it's "own" software rather than someone elses. why have it as an option is in ios 4.3 if it wont work with any wi-fi printer?

    Some folks have reported good results with Photosmart using the following workaround:

  • Why are there two AppleCare plans for a MBP "13? the $239 and the $249?

    I just wanted to make sure about my hunch, I believe the $239 priced APP is for the "13 MBP while the $249 priced is for "15 MBPs?
    I have a "13 MBP, and if these two types of APP cover the "13 MBP, it is obvious I would go for the cheaper one.

    I have a non-Retina "13 MBP, so I go with the $249 APP right?

    There is just a name. For example, John Smith. But when I click it its empty, there are no messages. Does it mean that they tried to text me but it didn't go through?

    I should've. Do you have any idea what it might mean though?

  • Why are there no more cancion de la semana

    Why are there no more Spanish/Latin free singles of the week (cancion de la semana)? I really enjoyed being exposed to those but they stopped and there's no explanation...

    I agree. I used to rent TV shows all the time. I'd much rather own a movie than own a tv show. If Apple is going to compete with cable companies, they need to provide either rentals or rental one-time (at your convenience) passes. Or maybe some sort of network pass for all shows on a particular network. I only have basic cable, and I don't have a DVR. Why would I want to own all of the shows I'm just trying to watch as I would on regular cable.
    Seriously, Apple, I want to give you my money for a really good service, but you're making if very hard on me. $2.99 for watching a show one time is absurd. Especially when the show will most likely end up on Netflix within a year.
    Madness...

    Why are there no favicons for many of my bookmarks? Where there was a favicon, a blank box with a dotted outline now appears.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
