HD Shows on iPhone..

[Wegmans]

I just wanted to say how sad i was when I bought an HD show (The Office) and tried to sync it with my iPhone, and was informed via iTunes that it could not be transferred...

I think it's unfair that if i want to view that episode on my phone, i have to pay AGAIN for the regular quality version...

Do you guys agree? And i'm new to this, so maybe i'm missing something, but i think it's unfair.

If i knew how to transfer the episodes from BitTorrent, then i wouldn't be buying these episodes!

EDIT: I'm so amazed at all the replies i've received! I posted last night and came back this morning and WOW is this a great community! Thank you all for taking the time to help me out! Hopefully I can help you guys out at some point! As a note, going to iTunes and checking for available downloads worked! Thanks again!

Unfair yes, maybe a firmware update will allow the iphone to play them in the future??? As for the bit torrent thing i can help, There is 2 programs I use to convert videos. The first and best is called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html And the second one is more for converting Full DVD's but it's called Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/ Both are free and I have never had any trouble with either. Hope that helps

also some advice

dont buy apple's composite OR component cables that lead you to believe you can output video from your ipod to your tv...the quality is terrible

what a waste of 100 bucks {i bought both packs @ 50 bucks a pop}

The way it usually works is that when you buy an HD version, you download both SD and HD versions. Make sure there isn't any content you haven't downloaded already.

Store -> Check for Available Downloads

Sorry for the repost, but does the check for available content through the store work for old apps that you bought but deleted?

deleted from your device, but if you deleted them from itunes, then they are gone for good until you repurchase them...but you can delete them from your device all you want until your face turns blue, you wont loose them

Yea i got that, I downloaded so many apps and wanted to know if there was a way that once deleted from itunes, if you can see past purchase history for all apps. Instead of trying to remember what was purchased. Everything i deleted was for a reason, and i don't really have to have anything back (I'm obviously not missing anything important) I just wanted to know what I have downloaded so far

supposedly.

though I don't think Apple lets you buy HD movies yet (just rent).

HD TV Shows
Purchase your favorite TV shows in high definition for just $2.99 an episode. Or purchase an HD Season Pass and enjoy an entire season of your favorite show in stunning 720p resolution with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. When you sync your HD TV shows to your iPod or iPhone, iTunes transfers a version that’s ideal for your device’s smaller hard drive and screen.

You can always re-download an App for free. But the check for available downloads is just for stuff you bought but never downloaded I believe.
