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

[J.Miller]

I just got done watching . Very enjoyable to watch. What I got from it is that Stevie is very good at knowing what the finished product should be like even during the early steps in working out a song. This was one of those one off things as where if Dave and Stevie tried to this sort of thing again they couldn't create the magic and feel of this project .

What format is the video.I use VLC Player.It will play almost any format.

It works great on the videos downloaded from TVFreeload.

$12.99 for HD.Is that good.I never purchased movies from iTunes before.

I agree.I hope nobody buys it.Its like those non Stevie fans waiting in line to get something signed and dumping it on the Bay.

They are just taking space up for the real fans to get something signed.


I dont mind if they sell it off for a cause like breast cancer or anything like that.
Not to make a business of selling special things off to make money.

I can play it in itunes but it often freezes for a moment or the sound drops out, like it's streaming, although I downloaded it. I guess we will just have to contact iTunes.

I also get a message that the high def 1020 is "too big" to play on my computer although I have a widescreen with 1366 px across and plenty of memory. They are happy to charge me for high def anyway of course.

The file size is too big for me to download it on my iPad or iPod and there is no option to stream, so I'm stuck watching it on this one computer that apparently is "too small" which means the doc will also have degraded quality even if I use Apple TV to watch it, since it first must travel through the computer. I can do it directly on one of my TVs but it takes 4 hrs to be ready to play because it is high def. That doesn't happen when I purchase high def elsewhere.

This is why I despise digital downloads, especially iTunes. If it were via amazon I could play it high def on any of my devices. I guess Stevie gets paid more if it's an iTunes exclusive, even if that limits fan accessibility.

There's always problems. This is why I want a dvd. It's why I always want physical media. So I guess I have to give up music and videos. Someday, when technology actually works, I will jump on the digital downloads. Until that time, life is hard enough without these stupid little headaches. I don't have to be a mechanic to drive my car, and I don't have to be a refridgeration expert to use my refridgerator, but apparently I have to be technical expert to watch a freakin' video.

Not to mention that these digital downloads aren't really "owned" by you in that they can delete them from your account if digital distribution rights change hands (I have had this happen not only on iTunes but on "cloud" services as well - any content stored in a place where the distributor controls access is susceptible; no, they do not refund your money because it was in the fine print that they could remove it without refund when you made the purchase).

As has been said, in the case of iTunes, they can stop you from accessing it on a computer you purchase later if, God forbid, you eventually come to own more than five computers before what they deem to be an acceptable time frame. Even if you do it on what they deem an acceptable timeline, you still have to jump through a bunch of hoops to de-authorize computers that no longer work. I use my computers until they break down, at which point de-authorization is impossible without a complete account authorization reset. It's infuriating.

You're not buying it; you're buying the right to access it, which they can take away. The only solution is to convert it to another file type and store it elsewhere so you don't have to access it using iTunes, something they try very hard to keep you from doing with their special iTunes-only formats and the oh-so-convenient cloud storage they control.

It's interesting that Stevie has become one of those celebs who is aware of the value of her signature and how hard it is to get it these days. That's why in that one clip on some gossip site, Karen insists on getting the guys name so she can inscribe the autograph. Autographs are worth WAY LESS when they are inscribed and are much harder to re-sell on the market.

The funny thing is, if she would sign more autographs - the demand and value for it would go down and collectors wouldn't be finding every opportunity to obtain and sell on ebay.

Unfortunately it's not up on UK itunes yet. Is there a way to switch to the US store to buy or does it detect my location?

^ They don't detect your location, but it's all about billing information. You can switch countries on the iTunes store without a problem, but as far as making actual purchases go, it might be a bit of a headache for you unless you have a US or Canadian based payment method. Perhaps someone more savvy than I am might be able to advise you on how to work around all that, though.

I have both a Canadian and British account that I switch between on my iPad. So I've got my copy downloading now. I am ridiculously excited and shamelessly fangeeking right now. But it looks like it's going to take approximately forever to actually download. Yeesh. I'm still too instant-gratification oriented for this stuff.

It sucks that some of you are having problems. I downloaded it this morning and watched about 1 minute to make sure it played, and it did. I'm going to try it on my Apple tv when I get home later.

I want so many people to see this Documentary!
I hope it gets released

I live in Sweden and downloaded IYD this morning This is how you do it:

1. Buy a US itunes giftcard. I got from a Swedish site and payed it with my swedish creditcard and they sent me the giftcard "code" within an hour to my e-mail.

2. You log out of itunes.

3. change to the us itunes page by changing the flag down in the right corner.

4. Search and find the In your dreams movie and click buy. OR choose something that is free and create your account...

5. Now you will have to create a us itunes account. All you need is an e-mail and a us address. I just used an american friends address and when you have to put down a phone number you can enter any number as long as it is an existing area code.

6. When choosing payment method chose NONE and then create your account.

7. All you have to do now is redeem your gift card and then download the documentary.

So now I have a Swedish itunes account and one us account. The only thing is that I can only pay the stuff on my us account with gift cards. Worked like a charm for me and I had no problem to play it.

Good luck!

Thanks, Angie! I figured something like that must be doable. You've probably helped a good few people on here who felt they were missing out.

The question is, why on earth hasn't this been released beyond North America? It's digital, she's not really doing any promotional activity for it at this point, so what's the point of staggering release dates in different areas?

You are very welcome!!!

I ask the same question as you do. I thought that was the great thing with itunes (from an artist's point of view) that you can do a worldwide release without any "huge" effort.

Lucky.. I have to pay $14.99 for SD, or $17.99 for HD. Well.. I've thought long and hard about it, and have decided to go with Standard Def...
