  • How to sync music and playlists to Apple Watch with watchOS 4 & iOS 11

    "If you exercise with an Apple Watch, you'll want to load some music onto it." No, I won't. I chiefly play golf, plus I have no wireless earphones. I have triumphed on the field of valor once more!
    Golf isn't exercise, it's a leisure sport. Even if you walk all 18 holes.

    Respectfully, I think your perception of how this process works is flawed.  I followed the VUDU scan to digital process for 18 bluray titles in my library.  All 18 titles successfully imported into my VUDU library.  After creating a Movies Anywhere account and linking it to my VUDU account, my VUDU library now appears within Movies Anywhere.

    I then linked my iTunes account to my Movies Anywhere account, providing visibility of my iTunes library within Movies Anywhere.  However, NONE of the 18 VUDU "scan to digital" titles imported into my iTunes movie library.  My iTunes movie library only contains titles directly purchased from iTunes store and Digital Copy downloads redeemed though iTunes store.

    The only centralized library of all titles from all linked accounts remains within the Movies Anywhere application.
    Are you sure you linked Movies Anywhere to the same iTunes account that is logged in on your device? You're the first person I've heard from with this issue. There are some movies and studios here and there that seem to be excluded for mysterious reasons (see the guy earlier who had trouble with the Harry Potter franchise), but the fact that NONE of your purchases are showing up leads me to believe there might be an error in your setup.

    Yes I am sure.  Perhaps you should review your findings.  Movies Anywhere does not migrate titles between Retailers.
    I am sorry that it's not working for you, but Movies Anywhere does, in fact, sync digital purchases across different services. That's the entire point of it. I would suggest trying to contact them for technical support.
    Perhaps, could it be that VUDU "Disc to Digital" titles don't qualify as "digital purchases"?  Do you also see all of your iTunes purchased movies within your VUDU library?
    All of my iTunes purchases from participating studios (Disney, Sony, Fox, Universal, Warner) are now available to stream and download through Vudu, Amazon, and Google Play. That's exactly what Movies Anywhere does.

    Hmmmm... What's to stop someone from going to Best Buy and scanning every movie in the store???
    I’d assume that’s why they collect location information. If you are scanning in retail environments, that probably flags you for investigation.
    Nothing stops them. This isn’t new.

    scammers have been selling movies this way for years. Look up posts for “D2D sales” ok GooglePlus. Movies Anywhere is gonna fuc* Apple so hard in so many ways. 
    I don't agree with that line of thinking entirely. If anything, this makes me even more committed to iTunes, ensuring I can have my entire collection in one place. But it's also consumer friendly — if Amazon has a good deal on a digital copy, I can buy there and transfer to iTunes. Best of both worlds (for me, at least).
