Why is closed captioning not available when renting movies?

I've rented a few movies on iTunes and noticed that none that I've rented so far are closed captioned nor offer subtitles in English as an alternative. Yes, the setting is set to show these by default, and I go in to double check anyway -- it's on.
Why is this? If I were to rent this on DVD, these same movies would be captioned. Is this not available when digitally downloaded?

Hi daisyintampa,
Well, normally movies from the iTunes Store don't include such feature. Despite that, sometimes you'll find a few movies with CC and/or Subtitles...
Definitely all this rules are imposed by the Studios and not by Apple! However, you may want to leave feedback for Apple, by using [this link|http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html].
Hope this helps!

Presently there appears to be problems on Apple's end, so it may be quite some time before they respond.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the security questions.
At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Closed Captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies?

Is it possible to select closed captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies? I rented a movie and did not see the closed caption option. Is it possible that only certain movies have the closed captioning option, or none.
I would appreciate any information regarding this subject.

You can turn on closed captioning in the AppleTV settings. Go to Settings > Video.
It is possible that not all rented movies will have closed captions. It is up to the movie studio to provide CC with the movies files they give to Apple for hosting.

Why are my files not available when checked out?

I have a relatively new Win 7 box, running TCS 4. So in Frame 11, I have checked out a book (using CMS/SharePoint) and everything checks out ok. But when I go to edit the files, they all have question marks and if I try to open them, the message is "cover.fm does not exist." for example.
Also, a long file directory is showing instead of just the file name.
Other users with similar setups are not having this problem.
I can work with other books just fine, but not this one (which is the MAIN one I use FM for!).
Help!

FM uses the relative path from the book location for the filename displays in the book. If the book and files are all in the same location, then the FM will just display the filename. I'm not certain how it's handling things if you're checking things out of a repository, but it should have everything in the same folder, so relative naming should be expected.

Closed captioning not appearing in video files

I've been working on producing a number of videos intended to be used as content in an iPad app for a Self-Guided Museum Tour which is under development by a non-profit Museum I work for. Many of the videos are intended to have closed captions for the hearing impaired.
Videos are being produced with Adobe Premier CC and exported as Quicktime .mov files with embedded closed captioning. These files play in all instances but in most of them, including the current IOS and Mac OS systems, the closed captioning is not visible. Tests indicate:
Closed captioning IS visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OS 10.8.5 in all instances.
Closed captioning IS visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OS 10.9 as long as English subtitle is enabled.
Oddly, closed captioning IS visible the .mov file is played on an old copy of Quicktime Player 7 running OS 10.9.5 as long as "show closed captioning" is enabled.
Closed captioning IS NOT visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 (with subtitles either off or automatic) on a Mac running OS 10.9.5.
Closed captioning IS NOT visible when the .mov file is imported into an iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1 and played with Safari using the built-in IOS video player. This is my target destination for the project and is critical.
Since the .mov file does contain an embedded closed captioning track (verified as track 3), the problem does not appear to be with the file or how it was created. The problem appears to be with the video player supplied by Apple in the most current versions of both OSX and IOS. In light of Apple's long-standing priority for accessibility this result is surprising.
Need help if anyone can help figure out how to make closed captions work with the IOS video player.

Problem solved with a little help from a Senior Apple Tech Support person.
Essentially, what has to be done in the current versions of both OSX and IOS is to configure the playback device's accessibility settings beforehand:
IOS 8.1.1
Settings–General–Accessibility–Subtitles and Captioning–turn on "Closed Captions+SDH"
OSX 10.9.5 and OSX 10.10:
System Preferences–Accessibility–scroll down to Captions and click on "Prefer Closed Captions and SDH”
You can also change the font style for captioning from these menus.
Once done, a small caption icon that looks like a text bubble on the bottom of the screen when videos are loaded, now has a third option besides "Off" and "Automatic". If the video being played has captioning embedded it may read something like "English CC", as it does in the case of my Premier CC-generated, embedded closed captions. Once that is selected, the captions play properly. [Note that in IOS 8.1.1, the caption icon only appears when a video is played in full screen mode.]

Closed captioning on FIOS library purchased movies

My grandson is partially deaf. We have purchased a few movies, to watch online, and cannot figure out how to get closed captioning on. This is NOT using the TV and set top box and remote; this is watching purchased movies online. Does anyone know how to get the closed captioning, or is it impossible? I don't want to buy any more movies if my grandson cannot get closed captioning! Thank you!

Donna,
It is up to the content provider to make Closed Captioning available for their movies, when you look up a movie for purchase if Closed Captioning is available you will see the CC next to the movie poster showing that Closed Captioning is available for that movie if you don’t see the CC then it’s not available.
Hope this answers yours Question, please let us know if you have any further Questions.

Subtitles when renting movies with Apple TV Take 2?

Does anyone know if subtitles will be available when renting movies via iTunes and Apple TV? Besides, I wonder if local films/TV shows will be available?!

We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

Mozilla will not be releasing a 64 bit Windows version of Firefox 4. They are creating 64 bit builds for testing purposes, but there will not be an official 64 bit Windows version until some time after Firefox 4 is released.

Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

Captivate 6--closed captioning not advancing

I have been converting files from Captivate 5.5 to Captivate 6 and assumed the closed captioning was advancing. I had no difficulty in 5.5 with the closed captioning advancing. In the converted files, the first closed caption appears and remains despite the voice advancing. I have had no difficulty in the past with closed captioning. I have ensured the appropriate boxes are checked for closed captioning and that the markers are placed where the closed captioning should change. I am not using any click boxes or anything exotic. I just import pptx files, use text to voice conversion, and then move the markers to where the closed captioning should advance to match the change in voices (I use a different voice for each caption). Some screen shots are:
I am having to convert my files in Captivate 6 since the pdf's are no longer readable with the updates to Adobe Reader. However, now my students can no longer view the closed captioning unless I save as just one caption per slide. SInce I have a distance undergraduate course currently underway and another starting this Fall, I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. Thanks.

Gotcha -- basically the old non-technical method.
ATTENTION:
I am BRIGADIER GENERAL JOHN CASTRO, the Chief of General Staff,
GHANA. I am mailing you in respect, of the present development going on
here in my country GHANA.
I decided to contact you, after much investigation which was carried out
by the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) and the Ghana Police
Service, to make sure our country is free of these fraudulent activities,
which is going on here in Africa and for our country to bear a good name.
The Airport Authority detected that trunk boxes after been scanned the
authorities detected that the boxes contains funds on your name and email
that has been tempered on, were been smuggled into the country by foreign
Personnel who were on transit from London.
These men were trying to enter the country with the trunk boxes, when the
airport authority detected that these boxes contains, some huge amount of
United State Dollars. After much investigation we found out that these men
were among those men, spoiling the good name of Africa.
They opened up to us that, they actually work with a Lotto company before
their dismissal and used the opportunity to perpetuate their crimes, they
told us that the funds inside the boxes was won by you, but now they
planned to turn back on you and decided to take the money all to
themselves out of the country. We later found out on the investigation
that was carried that, these men are truly members of a well established
organization to act on their criminal activities.
As I write you this mail now, the three(3) men that were caught are now in
the custody of the Ghana Police Service over here in our country Ghana,
while we are trying to track the others left, because they have proved
to us that they belong to one organization.
That is why we have to reach you by your mail address and name that was
tagged the boxes, so we can give to the diplomat to deliver to you hand in
hand.
Your response will be very much appreciated as soon as you have received
this email.as the diplomat is already to take his flight to your country.
Thank you for your kind attention, for us to make sure our beloved country
Ghana, bears a good name.
Please in your reply include your

identification so that it will be forwarded to the diplomat to know you as
soon as he arrive.Please in your reply include your

IDENTIFICATION PASSPORT.
As this information will be required, by the authorities in Ghana to
draft the new change of ownership in your name as the rightful owner of the

Why do my captions not appear in my image project?

Why do my captions not appear in my image project? Is there a command to turn them on?

Photo shop 8 elements, PC, From the organizer I click: File, New, Photoshop Elements Image File, from there I click: File, New, Blank File. I drag pictues on the 8 X 11. I am wanting my captions to appear that I have typed on the photos.
Thanks in advance for your help.
OK so you are currently in Full Photo Edit and making a New Document
1 -- where in Elements did you type the caption on the photo?
For example
-- were you in the Organizer workspace when you typed in the captions ?
-- or were you in the Full Photo Edit using the PSE Text Tool when you typed in the caption ?
Note: My guess is that you entered the captions using the Organizer. That means that the caption will be in a metadata field within the photo file but you would not see the caption when manipulating a photo in the Editor.
2 -- Do you plan to print this 8 x 11 on your home printer ?
-- Knowing what you plan to do with the 8 x 11 will probably help to suggest alternatives that might give you the caption more directly.
-- Of course you could use the Editor Text Tool to paste each caption on to its image if nothing more automatic fits your needs for your custom layout.

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":
