I have rented two movies, but either the selection of movies is tiny, or I am looking in the wrong place. I thought all the studios were on board and that thousands of movies would be available. I saw a few, and unless I was lookin in the wrong place, I wasn't too impressed by the selection.
I do think this would be a good idea. I'd rather rent a TV episode - watch it once - and then have it go - as opposed to a movie. Do you think there's any way Apple would, and could, ever implement this?
bought a TV show and rented a couple of movies in iTunes to watch during flight on my macbook air like at least 30 times before. However, every time I click on play I get the following "this movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP." i am livid. What is going on? My rental 24 hour limit kicked in without me being able to watch a single microsecond of the movie. This is not the first time that I have difficulties getting something what I paid for in Itunes. This is very delicate for a company that prides itself of being high-quality.
I read that it's only possible to rent HD in Apple TV, but what form of HD is the rental? Does it support 1080p? If so, how long does it take to download and prepare of movie of this sort?
Can they be played this way? We know that Front Row can access iTunes because it shows the Top 10 Movies in the Movies Section, but when I rented a movie last night, it didn't show up there. Is something wrong? If not, why hasn't Apple came out with a fix for it.
I just finished a survey on iTunes usage by the NPD Group, and on one the selections it told me if I had rented a TV episode or season? I took a screenshot just in case. See the last two selections.This could be a part of a plan to take people away from Netflix because they too have TV seasons for rent.
I have had several movies that I have rented on my Macbook Air and then transfer to my Ipad...they just disapear when I go back a couple of days later...not an expiration issue as it is within the 30 days..
I was watching a movie that I rented on iTunes and it froze halfway through so I closed iTunes and forced quit it but when I opened it again my rented movie didn't even show up (this was within the 24 hour rental period, it's only been 4 hours so far). Is apple allowed to do this or is there something wrong with my account?
I've been waiting for a long time now.That was at Macworld two thousand and EIGHT! Later that year? It's been two years now. All this time I've been waiting for this. And still nothing. When are they going to do this? 2044?
Yesterday, I had to re-format my external hard drive so that it could be "recordable" within Pro Tools, which wasn't a major issue, I just had to move everything from my Lacie drive to another drive, do the format, and then throw it all back on. It took a little while but this also included moving my nearly 60gb itunes library. Now that it is on the newly formatted hard drive, itunes doesn't seem to be able to find the majority of the songs any more. I've tried changing the music folder and a few other things, and there is no way I'm going through and doing the "cant find music - click here to find it" palava. Is anyone aware of a way that you can "mass find" all of the music in any way other than starting the library again and adding all the music (I don't really want to lose all of my play counts and ratings if possible!)
I'd understand that the iTunes store wouldn't have very low sales volume album art, but nothing for the Beatles? After loading over 100 CDs onto my disc, artwork was only found for about 40 of them.
I have been using a 2007 MacPro laptop, using OSX 10.6.4 for several years. I have my Itunes library on an external hard drive. I purchased a new MacPro laptop recently with 10.7.3. Both seem to be using Itunes 10.6. When I plug in the external hard drive Itunes doesn't see a library file, and no tunes are shown. I see the lists of files, but can't sync to a library file. I pluged in my Ipod Classic and about 1800 songs are in the new laptop Tunes media folder. But I cant get to the library where some 8000+ tunes, books, podcast's live. When I shift back to the old library no problems are noted. When I shift to the new laptop only the 1800 files it copied from from the Ipod are displayed. I seem to be able to tell it the library is external in advanced preferences, but no library can be found.
I get an exclamation mark in a grey circle in front of some of the songs in my "Music" library. When I try to play the song I get an error message: "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have put all my music on an external HD. In the Advance Preferences I have changed the "iTunes Media folder location" to the external hard drive and there are check marks before "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". Why does it not find some songs?
I brought iphone last fall and the store put all my photos and videos into itunes. I could not find those photos and videos. How can I get those from itunes as the store clerk told me?
Not all of my music is on my new MacBook Air, even though Home Sharing is on. I have some random assortment of songs on my computer and when I checked my purchased songs that are "Not on this Devise" nothing shows up.
Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
I turned on my mac last night, and opened itunes (9) and went to start my music, *pop up*. I said, as I read the pop up saying it cant find the music. So I found it and fixed it, next one, WTF it cant find it either? 50 songs later and i come up with "Ok, its screwed" I have my music on a external HD, and never had this problem before, what gives? I did a clean up and everything, didnt help one bit. I've now made a new library and has dragged my old itunes music folder to the new one, anyone know why it broke?
I keep all my music, tv shows and movies on an external drobo that is connected to my airport extreme. I just opened iTunes and it is not seeing my music (at least not populating it) despite the location in preferences / advanced being the drobo. I have tried resetting it but nothing helps. I don't want to move the music onto the iMac I want to keep it on the drobo.
I have spent a whole week importing songs from my external hdd to Itunes (ordering, adding album art, deleting double songs etc.) Almost 230 GB on music! Since I have a 500 GB hdd, I decided to deselect 'copy files to Itunes media folder' under preferences. I have a backup on my external hdd and I didn't know for sure if I would get the songs double (one in Itunes library and one in Itunes music folder, so taking up more space. I assumed that I could do this, since I read in 'Itunes help' that I could also deselect this option if you have your files stored on an external hdd.
While I was doing that my external hdd was connected to my laptop all the time. Today I finally finish the job, deconnected the hdd and found out that Itunes can't find any of my songs back! Only when I connect the external hdd to my laptop I can play the music. Is there a way to solve this problem or do I need to do it all over again while making a copy from my files to Itunes media folder? Since Itunes couldn't find any of my songs, I assume that for examply a 100 mb album will take up 100 mb on my hdd on my laptop and not 200MB?
Then there's a second problem: I deleted one of the albums in Itunes and imported the album again, but this time I selected the checkbox 'copy to itunes mediafolder when adding to library'. But now my songs are showing up double! One has the extension mp3 and the other one 1.mp3 When I go to Itunes mediafolder they show up there twice, so they don't show up in two separate folders. If I need to import all the songs again and delete the doubles manually it will take me ages
I just wiped out my xp machine and installed win7. I back everything up and iTunes was put back on and I dumped all my data back on for it. I have a mix of music from cd's and music from iTunes (purchased). I have my music all in the music folder but it's all mixed up and I can't tell which songs are actually being used in iTunes if that makes sense. So to help things, I told iTunes to copy the file into it's own folders. Then I told it to do the new folder structure, music, movies, ringtones, etc. Anyways, it seems all is well, however I can't tell which files are purchased and which are not.
If I drag a music file into iTunes, will it copy that file into iTunes and organize it? What happens if a copy already exists, will there be duplicates now? What is the best way to organize all this so I don't go insane and can clean up the mess. I am thinking of copying my backup back over to undo the recent "organization" and go from there.
I bought an album off iTunes a while ago but didn't download it immediately because of capping my internet data allowance and etc., - the net was slowed down to 64 kbps. Anyway, at the beginning of the month when I came back to download the album again it wasn't in the pending download section. I'm not sure where to find it or where to get the songs.
My uni-body MacBook (aluminum) is running out of storage space. I'm trying to figure out how much space my iTunes library is using (besides using the system preferences option).
I rented it and it said done in the download and the Rental ribbon never popped up and I can't find it anywhere (and no I haven't watched it yet or even started it)
