Best way to download movies
As a regular reader, I’m aware of iTunes and other online services. Though I always like the experience of using it, I had to admit some of the devices that ship with it were poor quality. I’ve generally preferred to download movies from P3 or Vudu.
But I wish there was a more convenient way to download movies. Given the current state of technology, I can only imagine what things would be like with a wireless MacBook.
For that reason, I came up with a list of tips and tricks to help you download movies on the Mac. Here’s a list that should be useful to anyone trying to download movies on their Mac.

Turn off Steam on Macs
I was playing some movies on my Mac in which I discovered that I had to load the movies in the second location (after the latest update in MacOS) to see the full movie.
It’s surprising how the absence of a sharefile or a menu setup in the Theater menu can throw you into a tailspin.
To be completely honest, I’m not so sure the dedicated Theatre menu would serve its purpose so nicely on a Mac on a single USB cable as it has on a movie player.

Disable synchronous play
As someone who actually downloads movies with the intention of sharing them with others, when I download a movie I switch to the ShareFile menu on my Mac. I don’t know how it works because I never heard of it before.
A quick search through the menu turns up a neat-looking option in which you can click to restore synchronous play.
Which is great when someone wants to watch the same movie on the same laptop multiple times. Unfortunately, this automatically becomes an available on all other Macs, too.
(Recall how my Apple was hard-inclined to install the internal version of macOS, but MacOS was easy to install?)
But when I launched it in my other Mac, my Macs would download the same movie that I have in my particular office or when I copy the file to a local backup so that I could copy it to my laptop at home and seamlessly move it to iTunes.
The added cost of sharing movies this way is worth it if you’re doing it so you can play the movie on the Macs you have locally. Otherwise, it’s not worth the time and overhead of moving files between PCs.
You can also block any synced content
By default, if you push media files in an Apple Music playlist on your MacBook through iCloud, your m8newmonthlist will be synced to the new month in December. However, you can also disable this service.
To set up a computer, click on your name and then navigate to the Desktop and hit Com. This will take you to File > Apple Music > unsync on the File > settings menu. You can also turn it off by clicking on the link when you’re in Music > you can also toggle you off by clicking on the iTunes link in Music > Apple Music > 12 to 21. You can toggle your sync settings by clicking on the apple link. This is true with iTunes and iCloud. Note that not every app has an “Unknown” option in the settings. For example, what if your video editor is called Final Cut Pro X and you want to turn it on, but your iMovie app isn’t detected? This could be resolved with the following set of commands.
According to Apple, synced contents only appear in screenshots if they’re under the Photos tab and not within a Shared features.
You can also set a Shared music tab to not sync the year you signed in. This way only the month of December is synchronized.

If you’re having issues in synchronizing the content with the iPhone, your iCloud settings need to be updated, the music you already have from other devices needs to be overwritten, and the audio has to be updated to keep the media to work seamlessly.
You should be able to synchronize a year’s worth of your Apple Music content by updating the event identifier. To do so:
One of your albums is older than all your other albums. You’re not stuck with it. Open the iPod app on your iPhone and use the “Year 2012” event so that it can be updated automatically. Follow the procedure below for the rest of your music. Note that it won’t update until it’s pulled together into a playlist in Music (instead of a single song).
You can then listen to all the songs in the month of December.
