Why should i pre-order a movie?

What are the reasons behind pre-ordering a movie rather than waiting for its release? If you pre-order, does the movie automatically download into your iTunes library upon release?

I have no idea why you would do this.

Why did i pre order an album weeks ago for it not to download it !!!

Why did I pre-order this album so I can hear it as soon as it came out but I'm all over apple trying to figure out why the heck it won't download!!!! Thats completely asinine and I'm highly upset it, if this problem isn't fixed by morning further action will be taken. This phone cost to much to have any petty flaws, like really why couldn't I have just waited until i woke up the next morning to buy it if this was going to be such a Hassle. This is a conundrum and i don't appreciate having to wait all this time to listen to an album I purchased weeks ago. This is a flaws you all should have fixed LONG AGO ! -.-

I feel your pain but there's no-one here from Apple to hear this. It's a user-to-user forum.

Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ?

Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ? If the Apple TV is not authorized, how come the itunes store still goes ahead to download anyway ?

You need to be a bit more specific here.
Surely you're not suggesting iTunes or AppleTv are downloading things you've not purchased and therefore not entitled to play.
If it's something you've bought then there may be an authorisation issue with iTunes, AppleTv which could be due to a glitch (reboot AppleTV) or local/distant network issues.

Have you tried pre-ordering directly from your carrier?

Why hasnt my pre-ordered Springsteen album downloaded yet?

I pre-ordered this 3-4 weeks ago and it should have downloaded at 12:01am today, it's release date. Instead, here I sit more then 16 hours later and nothing. Whats up? Whats my incentive to using pre-order?

You may want to read the post from BluesyGirl on the following thread concerning the response from the store about the delays on the Springsteen pre-order. It appears you may be waiting awhile. This is why I went out & bought the CD today.

Why is a pre-order phone no longer allowed to be shipped to my work address??

On Friday, April 4, I went into my local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S5. The order was placed and I was given a copy of the receipt which looked very accurate. The sales rep had read back to me the Bill To and Ship To address in the store, and it was correct, but didn't show up on the receipt given. When the confirmation e-mail came to me, I noticed that the Ship To info had my company name, and an address, but my name appeared nowhere on it. I called to question this when the store opened on April 7, and all of the answers were "I don't know. I'll have to research and get back to you." When there were no calls returned I checked again and received the same response. When I left my office for the day, I still had zero answers.
I drove to the same local store and re-hashed what I'd tried to accomplish during the morning. I was told there was no way to amend the shipping label once the order was input, despite the fact NO orders for this phone have yet to be fulfilled, since they are still in the warehouse. I work in a nine story building with every single office working for the same global company. There is no chance whatsoever that the FedEx delivery would ever make it to me without my name being on the label. I don't even think FedEx would try. It was just foolishness at the time the order was originally input (by the Verizon Store).
During the morning there was mention of possibly cancelling the entire order and starting from scratch, which I was totally OK with, as even that delay would be quicker than someone signing for the box and it sitting God Knows Where for days/weeks. When I said we should re-visit that option, I was now informed that it is a "Verizon Policy" to avoid fraud and NO pre-order phone could be delivered to any address except the account address of the phone owner. That was surprising to hear since it had been done (albeit incorrectly) just a couple of days earlier. The answer to that was, "Oh, she made a mistake in trying a work-around". Since I was recording our complete interaction (love that feature on my current phone), I asked manager Mike to verify a third time that he could not send a phone to my office address where I am during FedEx hours, and I could not adjust the existing order to come to the store for pickup. The answers were No and No.
My last two Verizon phones were shipped to my office, but I do understand that some company policies do change. I just think this is a doofus change. I also think it was pretty foolish for the original sales rep to miss putting a person's name on the shipping label. I have trouble believing that the computer order system would even allow her to make that mistake. But Verizon is in phone sales exclusively and not in the corporate shipping business. Perhaps this is some needed training.

Epilogue:
My problem has been solved, and I'm now happy to have my pre-order of the new Samsung Galaxy device completed in a way that totally satisfies me. But I am kicking myself for not going this route in the first place. I won't make that mistake again in the future FOR SURE.
After the manager in the local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) said there was nothing he/they could do to overcome the error made earlier by their store sales representative, because it was a pre-order and nothing can be changed/corrected for the initial input. They had failed to put my name on the shipping label requested for FedEx delivery, meaning that the box containing my phone would probably NEVER reach my hands once if was delivered to a nine-story office building with many many employees.
I simply went to my local BestBuy store and mentioned I had a very few questions to be answered prior to attempting to place a pre-order of my new Samsung phone. I asked if the phone could be set for delivery to my office and the answer was a quick YES. I asked if the phone could be set for pickup at the BB store and, again, the answer was a quick YES. They were initially surprised to hear that any company would say otherwise. BestBuy requires a photo ID when they take a phone order, and a signature is required when FedEx makes its delivery, so they assured me the Verizon "Fraud Policy" quoted to me was not a standard retail answer AT ALL. Thirteen minutes after I walked to the mobile phone department, I was walking out with all my confirmation details for a new phone. The purchase was less out-of-pocket since BB doesn't do that VZW arrangement of paying $50 extra and then getting that back as a mail-in rebate later. Seems no other carrier except VZW is charging that extra fee for this new device. On top of that savings, BB gives you a $10 gift card just for doing the pre-order with them. Bonus!!
I may (or may not) receive my phone a few days later than those ordering at the Verizon Store, but in my situation I was assured to get mine late due to the shipping label error. No matter what, I'm going to be pleased with my purchase, and BestBuy just earned additional respect with the way they accurately handled my Verizon purchase. VZW it still a quality mobile phone provider, but (in my personal opinion) they are extremely weak in the guest service side of the business . . . which almost negates those other positive things.

How can i tell if i pre-ordered a movie

my daughter thinks she pre-ordered hunger games movie and says the $14.99 was taken off her gift card, but we cannot seem to be able to confirm the preorder. she wants to cancel the pre-order and manage pre-orders does not appear on my account page.

From the app's description in the app store.

Should've PRE ordered my iPhone 5 through sprint... I'd have it tomorrow.... NOT HAPPY that I ordered through apple...

So I pre ordered my iPhone 5-- 15 minutes after pre orders started online at 2 am (central time) and pre ordered a black 16 gb iPhone with a delivery date of 9-21 (which is fairly common I guess for most people that ordered that early)
Literally an hour AFTER I pre ordered my iphone 5 on APPLE- my husband decides last second he wants me to pre order him one if there's any left... of course Apple's pre order delivery date had been pushed to 2-3 weeks an hour after pre orders had opened at 2 am, so I quickly logged onto SPRINT's website and noticed they still had some available for 9/21 delivery so I pre ordered him the same iPhone as me....
Well I am wondering if ANY one that ordered through Apple has gotten their iPhone SHIPPED yet- because my order is STILL being processed for shipment and my HUSBANDS iPhone 5 I had pre ordered through SPRINT is going to be delivered by TOMORROW....
*** is that about?? I thought I was making a smart decision and would get my iPhone FASTER by pre ordering through the SOURCE of the iPhone.... NOT A CELL PHONE CARRIER... I am BEYOND mad that an hour after ordering mine at the butt crack of dawn I ordered my husbands phone and his will be here 3 DAYS BEFORE release day!? MINE HASNT EVEN SHIPPED........
>:( LAST time I EVER order directly through Apple for a phone... EVER...

I was trying to order through Sprint first at 12am PST but couldn't get on their website. Finally at 12:30am the Apple site worked for me so I went through them. My mom ordered two phones from Verizon at the exact same time(both lines had an upgrade available). One of the orders got an error on it and Verizon could not tell her why when she called them this morning. They had her cancel her order and replace the order, she did and the sales rep she talked to her supposedly put her back in line where she was and assured her that she would recieve both phones on Friday, so we shall see.

Why didnt my pre order of an album work?

I pre ordered the album LONG.LIVE.A$AP by asap rocky which came out today janurary 15th. I placed my order near the end of december and have been waiting a while for this album. I checked to see if it had downloaded this morning and when i checked it still only showed up as a pre order in my "downloads" section on my phone. I went to the album to try and just buy the whole thing again but it wouldnt let me purchase it, where the $11.99 tab usually is it said "downloaded". when in fact it most certainly wasnt downloaded. what do i do to get this album?

Just look at you're account using the computer, it's there under manage preorders.. mine said 1 preorder for deadmau5

I pre-ordered a movie and it never downloaded? Now it says I never bought it but it defiantly charged me for it.

I pre-ordered Wreck it Ralph. Got charged for it. And it never downloaded AND now it says I never bought it.

Post in the iTunes forum or better yet call Apple iTunes customer Relations.
