on all of them.

You don't have to authorize an Ipad or iphone. But you have to authorize computers.

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.

I like the fact that the Roku gets more channels for the same price. With a Plex download you can get Itunes content on Roku, but it's a problematic connection.

To pre-order the full, high definition edition of In Your Dreams, change your settings from 720p to 1080p in iTunes. You can do this by going to EDIT —> PREFERENCE —> STORE in your iTunes playlist. iTunes defaults to the lower quality 720p. I think you can still download the higher quality file later even if you preordered the lower quality version, but this will save you some time.

When I downloaded the Fleetwood Mac ep on an iPad it automatically loaded on several of our other devices. How cool is that!

This is often true, but not always. Stevie's Enchanted boxed set was once available on iTunes in the UK, I bought a digital copy then, but it's since been removed from their store for some reason, and now isn't available for us to download to newer devices as purchased in full. I was a little miffed by that, as I had to resort to less-than-legal means to get the album from my iPod touch to my new computer. Small nitpick, I know. I'm not that upset or anything, but your comment just reminded me. With how technology and licensing change so rapidly, some things will inevitably fall through the cracks. I don't have a lot of room in my apartment so I really appreciate digital content, but sometimes it's nice to have a good ol' trustworthy physical copy of something.

I was expecting a digital-only release of this, to be honest. Let's face it, outside of the core fanbase, this film is small-time. But I too am a little disappointed. I'm ok with watching TV on an iPad/computer, but when something's labelled a "film" I always want to watch it on a bigger screen. I know there's ways to do that, but realistically, I probably won't be inclined to buy any new equipment to hook my computer up to the tv, so until it's put on some streaming software that's available on my Ps3, this probably will be seen by me on a small screen. Oh well.

There's no sign of it being available on iTunes in the UK yet. I hope it's not just a US release.

Maybe a DVD release is possible too?

I could really care less if it's released digitally or otherwise, as long as it's released. The thought of being able to watch it again and again just delights me to no end. Of course it doesn't hurt that I just bought a new laptop so I will be able to watch it. This would not have been possible on my old 8 year old PC.

Yes, with books I have gone completely digital, but not with music if it's an artist I like, I like a hard copy. If I just like the song and am ambivalent about the artist, it doesn't matter so much.

I guess I didn't know how much releasing a DVD cost. I thought they were easy to put out, since Lindsey has put out a couple for fewer buyers, so I guess I figured IYD would eventually be out on DVD as well. I will be a little surprised if it doesn't make it.

If I get it on tv, I can download it to my DVD recorder and get a copy that way.

I'm constantly appalled that in 2013 it's still such a hassle to transmit content wirelessly from any wi-fi enabled device to an HD television in true/full high definition.

Oh, and what is the point of pre-ordering a digital download?

iTunes videos come in Mpeg4 format. Not sure if this impacts any conversion process.

The purpose of pre-ordering is often a lower price, and extras that don't come with the standard release. I don't know if that is the case here, but iTunes has pre-orders often, and there's almost always a perk.

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.

Michelle, you can connnect any iPod/iPhone to the TV. The cord I have is several years old, but I bought it at the Apple store. It connects to the output jack on the iPhone and on the other end has the red-yellow-white A/V jacks. Works perfectly!

[KarmaContestant]

If you purchase this on iTunes, it will also be in the Cloud. That might present other options for getting the video to a TV screen.

After reading this thread the other day and scared the crap out of me .I end up buying another hard copy of IYD at Best Buys today for a backup before the CD supply dries up .

Thanks Stevie.


Itunes and Amazon can keep their files where they are.

Since we haven't heard that any other distributors bought IYD after the festivals, I guess we can give up the hope of the documentary showing up on one of the movie channels. Sunday, I was just looking at a Cher documentary (Dear Mom, Love Cher) about her mother's new country album on Lifetime. If Cher's mother can get space on Lifetime, I know that Stevie Nicks can.

I would also think that PBS or VH1 would be glad to air the documentary. Or what about OWN, since they did that special on Stevie? The documentary is a good promotion for the album, so the more people who see it, the better, even if they don't pay for it.

The new tvs don't have those A/V Jacks any longer. They just have HDMI. The workaround is that you can buy composite and component adapters that will let you connect to HDMI with the A/V connectors, but they cost $50 or more and they vastly compromise the quality of the picture.

Forgetting those old yellow, white and red connectors, there are new adapters you can buy to connect Apple stuff to HDMI, but my Iphone and Ipad take different connections. Apple is converting to the lightning port which is smaller than the old one. My Iphone has it. The ipad doesn't have it yet. The computer does have it, but not in the same size as the Iphone. So, it's maddening.

I know how to make the Apple devices connect to my tv. I just don't want to go through the contortionist steps to do that or to spend extra money to get Apple to play nice with the rest of my technology, when it should just do that anyway, especially when I've already spent about $4000 on the devices themselves. That's why I am making the break from Apple music, movies and tv shows (I still buy apple ibooks, because I am happy to read those on my ipad for eternity).

I would rather that Fleetwood Mac and Co. allowed you to download product directly from their website than that they made them Itunes exclusives.

You are right on some of those TV's dont have jacks to hook up external equipment up to them.Since I've been into electronics servicing professionally and personally for a good 35 years.I've seen everything from the good to bad junk..

I stay away from Apple Ipod and its products because of its way of their doings.
Its like Dell with their computers which you cant exchange parts with any other computer.Like said the gadgets are not cheap.

I would love to get an Apple Imac because I'm fed up with Microcrap broken windows since XP or even Windows 98.

The latest versions suck.

I have video capture boards and video capture devices to capture video from any source.Plus all the bells and whistles of editing software to piece the videos together.

I hope PBS will pickup the docu.Forget VH1.They are crap now just like MTV.
I just record it off the air and it will show up on the TVFreeload site in HDTV.

I wish Stevie and FM strike up a deal with Walmart like other artists have.
