Why is amazon instant video not available from itunes in australia?

Please dont tell me its a creative rights issue.
This is an example of apples my way or not at all.
I can get amazon instant video on my tv, my pc and my nokia.
But not ipad.. Bloody useless.
One and only apple purchase
Really really sad
So much potential
So much fascist behaviour from a vendor
We are the customers

Ask Amazon - they've let Apple have it in the US store, they are the ones who will need to grant Apple a licence to have it in the Australian store.

  • Why no amazon instant video on Apple TV?

    Why does Apple TV not have Amazon instant video?

    Presumably because Apple have not entered into an agreement with Amazon to provide it.
    AppleTV does not allow you to access any website you choose.

  • Why is EMI Classics music not available as iTunes Plus?

    Why would the album "EMI Classics: Stokowski plays Bach" not be available in iTunes Plus format?

    The weird part for me was that I bought an album listed as being a featured album in the iTunes Plus soundtrack section of the store, and though it was listed as being an iTunes Plus album and all of the tracks were listed as $1.29 and had the "+" icon next to them, it only downloaded the $0.99 DRM versions of the songs instead. (I agree, I'm not going to be buying DRM'd music now if I can help it thanks to having the option of choosing DRM-free music from EMI.)
    I sent a message to the iTunes Store support staff since I expected to receive the iTunes Plus version, and they told me that the "playlist is not an 'iTunes Plus' eligible playlist" -- even though it clearly was listed as an iTunes Plus album when I clicked to buy it, it's now not saying that it's an iTunes Plus album and all of the tracks are only listed as $0.99. The thing that confuses me is that the soundtrack is listed as being published by United Artists Corporation (I'm assuming because they're the ones who made the movie), but the digital album booklet that came with the album clearly says at the end that it was published by Capitol Records (which is owned by EMI).
    Why would the status of this album be reversed?
    Another thing that confuses me, in the "Top Albums" section of the iTunes Plus portion of the store, are these supposed to only be albums that are iTunes Plus enabled? or the top soundtracks from the whole of the iTunes store? I'm finding a few that are listed here now but aren't iTunes Plus albums, and don't know if they were reversed like my album (though the one I purchased is listed as #15 right now in the top soundtrack albums) or what.

  • Why is the movie Anchorman not available in itunes?

    Why are certain movies not available?

    Because the studio that owns the rights to the film doesn't want to put it on iTunes, or may not have liked the terms of Apple doing so.

  • Video not downloading from itunes

    I purchased a TV series from itunes and I am having a problem downloading the individual shows from the season.  I went in and deleted all the other videos i have previously purchased on my ipad, and i have restarted the download several times.  Any ideas?

    Is your HDMI cable snuggle plugged in TV and Apple TV or ate you using optical?
    Did you turn Dolby Digital On? If so set it to auto and see what happens.

  • How do I get album artwork into itunes when it is not available from itunes

    Previously I could drag an image into the corner of itunes where album artwork is displayed, but it doesn't seem to work in this version of itunes.

    (Right-click)->Get Info on the album, and there'll be an artwork window at the lower right corner
    of the info (or maybe summary?) tab.

  • Amazon Instant Video with pipelight: HD not available (HDCP)

    On my 64-bit archlinux-laptop I am using pipelight (0.2.5-2) and wine-silverlight (1.7.14-1) to watch video-streams of my "Amazon Instant Video"-account. Before end of february 2014, the provider of the video-stream-service was called "lovefilm" (Germany) and everything worked fine on archlinux. But now, I cannot watch movies in HD anymore and get this message:
    HD viewing isn't available because the display doesn't meet content protection (HDCP) requirements. This title will continue in Standard Definition.
    Maybe, I made something wrong with my pipelight/wine-silverlight-configuration. On my Playstation for example, I have no problems with "Amazon Instant Video" and HD. I guess, on ms-windows it should work as well. By the way, I am not using an external monitor (VGA-connections can cause HDCP-errors). And as ewaller told me in an e-mail, I should mention in this forum, that my intention is not to crack any copyright-protections but only want to watch my paid movies on my laptop.
    Andreas

    Hi andreas,
    the short answer is: its not (yet) supported with Pipelight. HDCP (or content protection in general) is a feature which is not available with any Linux driver (not even the proprietary ones), and besides that some other features are missing too. Nevertheless this is on our todo-list for future versions of Pipelight, but we can't give an exact schedule, especially as it involves a lot of legal problems and questions.
    For a bit more detailed information please take a look here, where Michael Müller (one of the other developers involved in Pipelight) summarized the current status. You can also subscribe to the bug report mentioned there if you want to be informed about all news concerning this issue.
    By the way: You would encounter exactly the same problem in some situations on Windows, for example when your monitor is only connected via VGA, and thus the video data cannot be securely transmitted.

  • Transfer Amazon Instant Video Content from iPod Touch

    I made the mistake of purchasing a TV season from Amazon Instant video, unaware that I would not be able to download my content to my MacBook. I was able to download the TV season to my Windows Desktop using Amazon Unbox, but the DRM protected WMV files will not play on my Macbook. I was also able to download the TV season to my iPod Touch, using the Amazon Instant Video app. So, I was hoping to transfer these files from my iPod to my Macbook.
    Now my question is: Where are the downloaded video files saved on my iPod? I downloaded iFunBox to browse the files on my iPod, but I could not find the video files anywhere. Does anyone know where the Amazon Instant Video app saves downloaded content in the iPod Touch's file structure?
    Thank you,
    James

    Update:
    I was able to locate the files I was looking for, however, they were not video files. Each TV episode is represented by a folder containing hundreds of small .data files.
    Does anyone know if .data files can be reassembled into a video? I have a feeling this is linked to DRM protection.
    Thanks,
    James

  • HT201335 No video when streaming from Amazon Instant Videos

    When I select the Airplay button from the Amazon Instant Video App on my iPad 4 it only sends the audio to the Apple TV, it does not play any video. The Apple TV is wired into the ethernet while of course the iPad is wireless; not sure if that has anything to do with it. What does it take to get this working. If the only thing I can stream is iTunes I've wasted $100 on this box.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Amazon blocks AirPlay. It's not the Apple TV that you wasted money on, but purchasing content from Amazon. Use the iTunes Store for your content.

  • Flash shockwave 11.5 works for youtube but not amazon instant video

    Shockwave 11.5 r502 works for Youtube but not for Amazon Instant Video.

    Hi,
    It asked me if I wanted to install something to make the videos load faster -
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be lurking there. If so, select the plugin then click Uninstall.
    Check:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (~) Tilde character represents your Home folder
    Check:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    /Library/Application Support
    /Library/Input Managers
    And check your Safari downloads folder. If the file is still there, double click to open. Might be an uninstaller you can use.

  • Why is the documentary series Bomb Patrol Afghanistan not available from the Australian iTunes store?

    Why is the documentary series Bomb Patrol Afghanistan not available from the Australian iTunes store?

    Because it is the producer's decision where they want their items to be available. You can request for it if you want to.

  • There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download.

    There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download. We watch these each week, and I have checked to be sure that there was actually an episode this week, and there was.

    Under other "sync-able" players, there's usually the "Sync only checked items" radio button. Not for the 2.0 Apple TV. There's no option, but acts as though that option ("sync only, etc...") has been selected. Figured it out after an hour of walking back and forth from my Mac to the TV. Argh.
    Try it. De-select the shows, sync the AppleTV and look under the "TV Shows" and the one's you've unchecked will not be there.
