Stevie Nicks - IYD is now available for pre-order on iTunes.

Yeah, I think I'll be holding out for a DVD release...not because of any aversion to apple/itunes, but in hopes that the DVD might have a plethora of bonus features :-)

Wow. This thread is disturbing with all the Apple hate. Like it's their fault or something.
Be glad it's coming out somewhere, as physical media is getting scarcer and digital will be the future as physical media dies. Just no point in it anymore...very costly to distribute. I mean damn, they're already streaming 3D, which looks amazing. Home video is taking a hit and blu-ray sales have been falling as well.

Within the next 3 years streaming with BD quality will be everywhere (it's already started). Besides, the actual documentary is all digital from the source. Makes 100% perfect sense that digital should be the main distribution outlet.

I actually thought the film looked crappy blown up in the theater. It's gonna be so much better on digital, between all my devices.

Apple's incompatibility with other devices is their fault. I have an Iphone, an Ipad and a Macbook. There's no reason why I should need an Apple tv to get media from one of those devices to my tv. I don't want media I buy from Apple to be separated from the rest of my library anymore. The more Apple tries to lock me in, the more I want to break free. If I buy it on Netflix or on Amazon, I can pull it up on my Roku or my tivo or connect my kindle to my tv. Can't do that with Apple. I want universality which it is not in Apple's financial interest to provide and that was something I accepted 5 years ago, even 2 years ago, but not any longer.

It appears you can't watch an itunes movie on a kindle, so here are my options as far as I know, if I want to watch it in my comfy living room on tv and not my desktop:

-Buy an apple tv box.

-Buy an ipad and use an hdmi cable to hook up.

both of these are expensive. I hate to complain, but this sucks.

But it's not just an HDMI cable. You have to get the $40 Adapter to hook the Ipad up. The Ipad doesn't have an HDMI slot. So, get the dongle and that should do it for you.

you don't need an apple tv. you can hook your macbook or ipad up to the tv directly. your apple content shouldn't be "separated" from the rest of your library--i'm not getting what you mean by that, or what problem you're having streamlining your apple content with your other devices/downloads.

I know, really!

It's not like pre ordering it from your neighborhood DVD store, where they have limited copies when something first comes out..

Finally ! I have been waiting a long time for this. I just did the preorder. Showing some Apple love; If you purchased anything for iTunes it follows you around forever. For example we purchased Stevie's video Sorcerer on iTunes something like 10 years ago and forgot that we did so. Sorcerer later showed up later as a purchased item when we got newer devices. When I downloaded the Fleetwood Mac ep on an iPad it automatically loaded on several of our other devices. How cool is that!

I love the stone age. I want my rock vinyl.





Screw digital downloads.

Amazon does the same thing, but if you buy it on compact disc, it keeps the digital version for you too. So, albums that I bought before there even was an ipod are in my Amazon cloud now.

I haven't bought any movies through Itunes, but I have purchased some tv shows. The last one was this season of Doctor Who. You can set it to download automatically, so Saturday I go in there and the show's already there to watch.

One thing that bothered me with Apple is that it limits the number of devices that you can download onto and I have sold a couple of computers and I forgot to deactivate them in the Itunes store before the sale. So, then I was limited in being able to download new purchases onto my new computer. You can deactivate ALL devices to free up your quota again, but they only let you do that once every few years. Itunes is a big problem to me.

My brother told me about how
happy he is with his Apple tv. I looked into it and its $99. Not bad, really, and you can watch netflix, youtube and anything on iTunes, like this Stevie documentary
AND it'll work with a pc! All you need is wifi and an hdmi cable to hook up the little 4x4 inch Apple tv box to your tele. I already have wifi and the hdmi cable, so I think I'm gonna get an Apple tv box this weekend.

We have something like 10 devices and seem to no problem uploading from iTunes
on all of them.
