Why the huge price rise for films in UK iTunes store?
I have recently noticed an inexplicably huge rise in some film prices on the UK iTunes store.
The films I mean are mainly old British ones (1940s-1950) which were all previously £2.99. Admittedly this was cheap but still in line with other retailers. Now, all of these have gone up to £7.99 - more than double the price! I'm glad I purchased all the Terry Thomas films when I did as these are among the affected items, which also include films starring Norman Wisdom, Will Hay and others of that ilk.
This goes far beyond the VAT issue which has previously been discussed. It seems Apple are just being brazenly greedy now with price rises left and right. Has anyone from the US or other countries noticed this happening in their stores too?
I checked a few old films and Amazon's prices match iTunes:
Oliver Twist (1948)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99 (or on DVD for £3.70)
Oh, Mr. Porter (1937)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £7.99
Amazon Buy only £7.99 (or on DVD for £4.10)
The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £4.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy 4.99
A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
excepting only that for some reason you can't rent Oh, Mr. Porter on Amazon. £9.99 does seem a little excessive for The Scarlet Pimpernel. I suppose it's a 'what the market can bear' calculation.
Interestingly:
La Dolce Vita
iTunes SD Rent £3.49 Buy £9.99 (HD Rent £4.49 Buy £13.99)
Not on Amazon except as a DVD £19.99 (of course it is a three hour film), but
Curzon Cinema (not stated if SD or HD) Rent £2.00 no purchase.

CO88-Error :Perform the planned price change for material
Hi Experts,
While running CO88 i get this error. "Perform the planned price change for material ". My material is manage at S and it doesn't have any marked cost. The status is FR and no other status on cost etimate for the article are active. what i shoul do? why if i run the PP order with KO88 i don't have any error?
Please help i'm facing the closing period.Hi,
If dynamic price change is active in your system the first posting in the new period of this material tries to
- release a future cost estimate of that period OR
- change the price to the future price in accounting view
(if the future price date is reached)
Unfortunately this dynamic price change does not work in order settlement. Therefore you are asked to perform the price change first by t-code CKME (or CK24).
If you are using price determination control 3, any price change or release should always be the first transaction in a new period to avoid any inconsistencies.
The dynamic price release will only release the price with transactions which involve material movement and this is not the case by posting invoices and order settlements.
if you are in period 12/2009 then a settlement in 12/2009 does not require the release cost estimate of 01/2010.
But if you are already in 01/2010 therefore settlement in 12/2009 is a posting into the previous period. This will change also data of the current period. Therefore the cost estimate has to be released first.
Another option, if you don't want to receive this message, would be to change this message from Error to Warning (check note 434752).
Please follow the following steps:
T-CD:OMRM
Message M8 394
=>you set the message type to '-' for error message M8394, that means no message is to be issued.

Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-10-08 22:21:42.Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side : -

Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?
Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON. If so turn it off. -
Apple ID for home sharing and iTunes Store should be the same?
I've got 2 iTunes Store accounts, my girlfriend has one, and we're just moving in together.
A few questions ...
Can I create a 4th 'Apple ID' for our home sharing?
Would we still be able to listen to each others libraries?
Would we still be able to copy songs from one another, like I can with my 1 account between computers?
Are there any other downsides to creating a separate account for home sharing?
Thanks for your help.Can I create a 4th 'Apple ID' for our home sharing?

Would we still be able to listen to each others libraries?

Are there any other downsides to creating a separate account for home sharing?
none i'm aware of. -
Is it possible to copy on a USBpen a film rented from iTunes Store?
Is it possible to copy on a USBpen a film rented from iTunes Store and watch it on a TV, for istance, by a Play Station or a TV decoder?
The only way to watch a movie rented from the iTunes Store on a TV is by connecting the renting device, Mac or iOS, to the TV, or to get and connect an Apple TV and move the rental there.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I bought and paid for 2 audiobooks in iTunes store. However they don't download. I get error -48 and/or 1000. How do I resolve this? Thank you.
I reinstalled iTunes on my PC. Also tried downloading via iTunes on iPad and iPhone. The latter is not possible because it tells me that I already bought the products. The purchases have already been charged to my account!
