Will previous purchases for TV shows be available in the UK soon?

Right, as you probably know, with iTunes 10.5 you can re-obtain Music, Apps, Books and TV Shows for free if you have lost them.
However, the ability to re-obtain TV shows is not available in the UK (amongst other places). Is it just not available yet, or will it never be available?
Re-obtaining apps was alway a possibility as it assumed it was just an update, I think iBooks were fine to get again and music used to cost moey to get again. When I heard Apple's previous purchases announcement ages ago, I was really eager as I assumed it would mean I could get back the many TV episodes that I bought and downloaded on my iPod, then had to delete for space before syncing (the computer said it wasn't the right computer's library (which was true, I had had to wipe the PC as it had gained several critical viruses)). I bought the episodes about 2 years ago, so was over the moon when I heard I may be able to get them back without paying again, however Apple seem to have dashed my dreams
So, as I asked above, will previous TV purchases be available on the UK iTunes store soon/ever?

Personally I did not notice the fact that I could not redownload my purchases again - something which I think will have to be made more clear in the future with the new digital download laws coming in...
search for "uk law past purchases digital downloads" in google or look at the following link.

Maybe it was made clear when I made my purchases???, but my assumption was that I own the download, and if still available on the apple servers I should be able to redownload it again - maybe I am stupid for assuming this!! DRM at the best of times is hard to transfer/backup content so how is a non-techy supposed to do it?

Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR. Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that: http://labs.adobe.com/

HT4061 I downloaded videos previously purchased for my ipod touch from my itunes account into my ipad2 3rd generation. the music plays but won't show the video other than a freeze frame of the video I am playing

I downloaded videos previously purchased for my ipod touch from my itunes account into my ipad 3. The music plays but not the video, only shows a picture from the video. How can I make play the actual video

Then look in the videos app. That is where music videos will play.

I burned disks of previously purchased content that is not available thru iTunes anymore but the latest ver. of iTunes won't let me copy this same content onto a new comp. Is there a way to do this or maybe an earlier ver. of iTunes to download?

Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

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:

I'm just wondering when IOS7 will come out for Ipod 4th gen. because half the free apps need the new IOS!!

Some apps have older versions available.
Try this if you want an App that says you need iOS 7 or later:
Go to iTunes on a computer or on a device running iOS 7 and find the app you want and download it using your Apple ID and password.
Now go back to your iPod Touch Gen 4 and go to the App Store and tap updates at the bottom right, then tap Purchased at the top. Find the app on the list that you just downloaded on the computer (or other device) and tap the cloud to download it. If it has an alternate version available that is compatible with your iOS, it will prompt you and allow you to download that.

When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

TS1702 The app game that I bought for iphone is not available in the itunes store anymore. How can I get it back on my iphone 4

If it's no longer in the store then you won't be able to re-download it - do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes (or on a backup) that you could sync back to your phone ?

Is the itunes store down? It will not open for me. I go to the "itunes" tab once i'm in my library, and it says "accessing itunes store" but nothing happens.

I just tried it and it works for me.

HT4623 Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).
