Why does Apple TV show me that is takes 19 hours to play a movie

The time it takes to load is dependent on your network
What is your current connection, use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto
if on wifi try Ethernet

Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

Free means Free....
As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.

HT1665 I have a 2007 Griffin Amplifi dock that does not accomodate my brand new iPod Touch. Does Apple make an adaptor that I could use to play my new ipod on the old Griffin dock?

Does Apple make an adaptor that would enable me to play my 5th generation iPod touch on my 2007 griffin Amplifi dock

Or this one

Why does Apple TV randomly shut off in the middle of playing music?

Can anyone please help us with Apple TV? It worked the first night and played for the entire evening. Now it will play for a short time and just stop mid way through a song. Any thoughts?

No, that would be rather annoying to constantly have to sign in and out.

Why does quicktime 7 cause a reboot of windows xp when playing a .mov?

How come quicktime 6 works fine and plays my .mov files and allows me to transfer video from my digital camera whereas quicktime 7 causes a system reboot and i cant watch my videos? with quicktime 7 opening the folder containing the .mov or clicking on the .mov causes the screen to become black with blue characters on it that are not letters or numbers. then the bios screen comes up, eventually bringing me back to the desktop.
id be perfectly happy using quicktime 6 on my computer since it works great, however after i uninstalled quicktime 7 and reinstalled 6 i found out that i need quicktime 7 for my itunes. what do i do?
please help me.

that did not work, nor did changing quicktime into safe mod.
what is the difference between quicktime 6 and quicktime 7 such that 7 will cause windows to reboot after the weird black screen with blue nonsense (not letters or numbers) on it everytime i try to play an .mov file?
can i revert to a version of itunes that will allow me to used quicktime 6 without any negative effects to my current setup on itunes 7?
please help, this is very frustrating.

Why does Apple sell same config that was available 15-16 months ago

All:
I was considering buying a Mac Pro, but was suprised to see that most of the reviews from the initial release (summer of 06) cover a configuration identical to what Apple is still selling today.
Why doesn't apple improve the specs over time - as newer technology comes available at a cheaper price? Most PC manufacturers improve the video card, processor speed and hard drive size over time - and charge the same price.
Apple appears to be offering a 16 month old configuration for the same price they charged 16 months ago - but they have not changed the original configuration (other than offering an 8-core option).
Am I missing something (I might be - and this is why I'm asking)? Why should I spend $2500+ to get something that I could have purchased 16 months ago for the same price.

No small feat, and a huge appetite from their customers, hoping for mobile, desktop and server chips. 45nm Penryn will be first step, followed by further advances down the road.
I feel lucky to be able to use Mac Pro for the last 16 months, and not wait for something, and while there are definitely improvements, most people are probably happy with the current configuration - outside of perhaps the limited "mid-range" graphics offering from ATI.

Why does apple tv always connect to itunes even when I own the movie and it is on my computer?

So I have my entire itunes library on a HD that I bring with my laptop back and forth. My problem is not at my house where I have an internet connection, but it is at my cabin in the woods where I do not have an internet connection. Why is my apple tv always trying to connect to the itunes store whenever the movie I am trying to play is on my computer and on the network? I have an airport express setup creating my network, but like I said I do not have an internet connection. I am just using the AX to give me a wifi network. It is constantly looking for the itunes store. Is there a way to bypass this, or is this a Apple security feature? Thanks

I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

This is a user to user forum. Apple isn't here and won't answer you. You need to contact Apple directly. You can use the Contact button at the bottom of the screen.

HT3209 Why does apple not allow me to download an hd movie to my pc? Why doesnt apple get it that I simply want to download a hd movie to my computer so that I can repeatedly watch the hd movie via apple tv to my pc as opposed to using isp bandwidth?

See title.

This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

Why does apple not stop these app that steal money from small children

Why does apple not stop these app that steal money from small children

In the final analysis it is down to parents to use the parental control features.
In addition to that, parents should regularly check the nature of all downloaded apps available to their children.
Yours are the chidren ... and yours, the responsibility.

I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
