Why does apple tv not support amazon prime?

why does apple tv not support amazon prime?

If you have an iPhone/iPad it may be possibel to 'Airplay' from teh Amazon Prime app on the device - no Amazon Prime in UK so I can't confirm it works. Check reviews of the app in iTunes. Airplay is not something I like much as you have to have another device to work with the AppleTV.
As to why there is no native support for Amazon Prime on the AppleTV itself, we could ask the same for any number of services, but:
1 - Apple/Amazon are competitors to some extent so they may not want to
2 - It may simply not feature in Apple's plans for the device
3 - Rights owners may not allow Apple/Aamzon to collaborate
.....and dozens more possible reasons I suspect, none of which really make sense to you an I as a consumer...

Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

Why does Apple require ISBNs when Amazon and B&N don't?

I'm sure this has been discussed, perhaps someone could point me to an answer.
Why does Apple require an ISBN when Amazon and B&N's digital stores don't. In many ways this eliminated many individuals or small presses from selling their books on iTunes. Does Apple specifically not want those not alligned with pre-digital publishing to be able to sell books on iTunes? Perhaps there is something I'm missing here.

Fabini, by the fact that I've uploaded and sold dozens of eBooks on Amazon and B&N without ISBN numbers. They both don't require them for eBooks.
As per Amazon: “An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is not required to publish content with Kindle Direct Publishing. Once your content is published on the KDP web site, Amazon.com will assign it a 10-digit ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to the eBook, and is an identification number for the Kindle Book on Amazon.com. If you already have an ISBN for your eBook, you’ll be able to enter it during the publishing process. Do *not* use an ISBN for the print book edition.”
As per barnesandnoble.com's PubIt!: “You do NOT need an ISBN to sell your eBook through PubIt!. If you don’t have an ISBN, just tell us that you don’t have one by answering No when prompted. In that case, Barnes & Noble will assign an internal 13-digit identifier to your title for you when you submit the title to go on sale.”
Apple is the only of the "big three" eBook distributers that requires an ISBN and that is a bad call and reduces that "democratic" power of eBook publishing. I hope they change the policy soon. Anyone know who the best person to email about this issue would be?

Why does apple refuse to support flash media? Is it a security issue or politics?

Constantly I come accross websites that require a flash player and now that we are in an ios7 enviroment you'd think this issue would be resolved. I mean why does my OSX in my mac have no problems but my iphone/ipad forget it. Will Apple ever resolve this issue?

Phil, while there is some truth in what you say, it is a bit misleading.
"Besides the fact that Flash is closed and proprietary, has major technical drawbacks, and doesn’t support touch based devices, there is an even more important reason we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. We have discussed the downsides of using Flash to play video and interactive content from websites, but Adobe also wants developers to adopt Flash to create apps that run on our mobile devices." Emphasis mine.
I guess I should have said "allow" not "support." My bad.
Read the whole thing:
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
And why is that bad?
Yes Apple has said why Flash is not on their devices. Its up to Adobe to create a version that meets Apple requiremements. But since they've ceased all development for mobile Flash that is not going to happen.
Its not that they did not want to allow it ever, its just that it never met their specifications to be on their devices.
When you go to someone's house you adhere to their rules, you don't go stomping around in your muddy shoes on their couch do you?
That's what Adobe was trying to do, stomp on their profits by injecting Flash Based Apps that apple cannot control which would be a serious security risk as well as a financial detriment to all the developers that produce high quality Apps for the App store.
Again, Apple only wants to keep their devices secure, and profitable. Shock that a company is out to make profits

Why does PL/SQL not support 0 length strings?

Why does Trim(' ') return null instead of an empty string?
Why does '' return null instead of an empty string?
Because of this, LENGTH(Trim(' ')) returns null. And I want zero.
I ask because I'm cutting up a string and in other languages (even ones that support Null) when these techniques are used, I get a valid empty string.
Am I wrong in feeling that an empty string is the equivilent to a 0 in a numeric field and that null in a string is equivilent to null in a numeric field?

For Oracle, by definition, a null string is a string of length 0 since at least Oracle 5.0 (i do not know the previous ones).

Why does Apply IOS8 not support CarPlay in New Zealand yet?

Hi Apple and community, why is New Zealand not listed in countries that support CarPlay in IOS 8 but Australia is?
It is frustrating as we have cars and 3rd party Pioneer head units that support CarPlay but Apple is not allowing our country to have the functionality??
So when will this be released and in the meantime what are the workarounds?

Nobody here will have any information about that since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Any responses you may receive may well be removed and would be wholly unreliable in any case.

Why does Firefox 4 not support Norton Passcards?

Downloaded Firefox 4 and find this does not support Norton status bar. This means I cannot use Norton Passcards whereas these always worked with previous version. If I revert to version 3 will the Passcards work again? If not I will have to uninstall Firefox and revert to Internet Explorer.

Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1.

Why does Airport Utility not support Airport Express A1084?

Airport Utility 1.3.4 (134.22) on my iPad (iOS 8.1.2 (12B440)) and the version of Airport Utility included with the very latest issued version of OSX on my iMac do not recognize Airport Express model A1084. I can still get on the internet via the AE A1084. Because I cannot configure the AE A1084 I am unable to set password protection on the wifi network or perform other functions.
Is there a fix or work around?
Has Apple abandoned these older AE's (programmed obsolescence), meaning I'll have to buy a new device?
Safari on the iPad has been having problems with web sites, dropping and reloading them - attempts to fix that by resetting network settings resulted in losing access to the AE wifi network. The Airport Express network appears in the "Set up new Airport Base Station" window, but attempts to access it produce the message "The Airport Express named "Apple Network XXXX" cannot be set up by this software."

That is a complex question, and would assume that you had Snow Leopard on the Mac at one time. Best to post your question in the support forum for the operating system that you are using now. Click the link and select your current operating system.
Mac OS & System Software
Doing something like this not for the faint of heart, and should be best left to an IT technician. That is going to be a significant expense.
For far less money, and many less headaches trying to revert to an earlier operating system, and knowing that most Express devices only lasted about 5 years, on average, if it were me, I would buy a new Express device or devices and be thrilled that I got about twice as much use as normal from the older A1084 model.

Why does this video not support on my ipod?

Hey, i imported a video with handbrake and decided to put in the chapter markers. But this video when i added it to itunes and i plug my ipod in, it says that it isn't able to transfer it onto my ipod because my ipod doesn't support this kind of video. This video should work because the bitrate is 1500kbps and 160kbps for audio. The size is 720x384. And i have other videos that size on my ipod so i know this isn't the problem. But i just need to know why this is happenin.

The error $ is not defined means that the jQuery library isn't loading correctly. The page is loading the library from Google rather than from the site itself.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your google.com cookies (save any pending work first). You can call up the cookie dialog anywhere on google.com using:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Or if you call it up from another site, change the site in the search box at the top of the dialog to google.com. Then you can remove your Google cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If jQuery still won't load, review your extensions for any designed to reduce cross-site interactions or targeting Google or privacy. You can review those here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Closing windows in Expose using key press (or why does apple-W not work?)

I often end up with lots of Safari windows open & need to prune them down. (Yes I use tabbed browsing too .
So I thought I'd use Expose, see the windows I needed to close, select the one I wanted to close and hit apple-W which works fine to close a window when not in Expose. However for me it doesn't work in expose (though its fine when not in expose).
This leads to a rather slow process of going into expose, selecting the window you want to close, coming out of expose, then hitting apple-W to close that window, then going back to expose.
I'd much rather just go into expose, hover over the window I want to close (or use cursor keys to pick the right one) and hit apple-W; then I can close a few windows without having to leave expose.
Has anyone ever figured out a way to get apple-W - or any key press at all - to close the currently selected window in expose?
BTW I know you can quit an application in Expose; which is great. However in this case I want to close just a selected window in expose (e.g. a particular safari window), not the whole application.

You have a great idea. But it isn't supported. Yet.
Send your idea to Apple (they read all submissions) http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback

Why does jax-ws not support bpel

I would like to put my jax-ws services in some bpel process, but I've read in JBoss forum that jax-ws doesn't support BPEL. Why is it so? Can anybody explain it to me ? Why putting BPEL into JBI module "saves the situation"?
I would be gratefull for any kind of articles, links, explanations...
Thanks,
Kasia

Well, they can - I use it on the machine to watch videos and to read while exercising, without the Nike+ app. The Nike app measures the distance you've travelled, doesn't it? Would it work on a treadmill, in which you're not really travelling any distance? I can't remember the specifics... but in any event, you should be able to run the iPhone app on the app, the display just won't be optimized for the iPad.

Why does Apple Tv not show folders created in iPhoto 11?

Hi,
I am new to Iphoto. So far used Picasa and would like to change. I have created Albums (2012.7 sommer holiday , 2012.6 birthday son, 2011.10 birtthday daughter, 1999 wedding etc). Since there are hundreds of albums (lot of pics in the last 45 years), I've put these albums into folders (family picture 1999, family picture 2000, family picture 2001 etc etc). So the list in iPhoto is not too long and I can find quickely whatever album or picture I am looking for. That works great on the iMac using Iphoto but when I want to watch the picture on Apple TV, Apple TV is not showing the folders instead it is just ignoring totally the yearly folders and shows the whole list of all albums. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone has experience with that?
Thks for help
Markus

There seems to be no real solution, but I have discovered a work around which I have tested. The photo albums themselves won't live in separate folders, but you can create an album with the same name as your folder with a single photo in it, so that the albums are separated. I also like to add the year first to chronologically order them. I know that this may take a while as you have so many photos, but I hope that helps as I was having the same problem.
For example:
...TRAVEL...
2012 Spain
2011 Italy
2010 Thailand
...FAMILY...
2013 Marks 40th Birthday
2012 Family Reunion
2011 Bon Voyage Marc
