Jennifer, I saw your post on FB. I was the one who commented under it, and you commented it. I see AMOTF under Itunes with other album, but need to get a new itunes card.

before you pay again, wait until Focus has a chance to address the problems. It is a shame to pay twice.Jimmy Barclay Fan wrote:Jennifer, I saw your post on FB. I was the one who commented under it, and you commented it. I see AMOTF under Itunes with other album, but need to get a new itunes card.
I also see where those comments have been removed from the public feed. Hopefully they will provide a solution once everyone returns to work tomorrow.

ok, techno savvy Odyssey friends, (probably the teens and pre-teens), I downloaded Family Portraits from iTunes to my Ipod. But when I synch it to my main computer, I cannot access the Family Portraits file. Any ideas? We have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, no luck.

It should automatically sync over, but try going into iTunes, and on the left side of the screen near your playlists there should be a store category, underneath it there's a purchased link, click on that and it should take you to a playlist of everything you've bought recently.jennifertwt wrote: ok, techno savvy Odyssey friends, (probably the teens and pre-teens), I downloaded Family Portraits from iTunes to my Ipod.

ok, have to try that. It does not help that my iTunes speaks Swedish.Jesus' Princess wrote:It should automatically sync over, but try going into iTunes, and on the left side of the screen near your playlists there should be a store category, underneath it there's a purchased link, click on that and it should take you to a playlist of everything you've bought recently.jennifertwt wrote: ok, techno savvy Odyssey friends, (probably the teens and pre-teens), I downloaded Family Portraits from iTunes to my Ipod.

I wonder if it's the same thing on CBD...?

Nope. I looked on CBD, and saw by the minutes listed for the length of the episodes, CBD has the right episodes.

rats, I could not have gotten CBD from Sweden anyway. Hopfully they will find a way to fix the iTunes files and let us know how we can get them.Jimmy Barclay Fan wrote:Nope. I looked on CBD, and saw by the minutes listed for the length of the episodes, CBD has the right episodes.

I can't download it from CBD either. I really wish FOTF would just wake up and release Family Portraits on CD but I know that is very wishful thinking on my part.jennifertwt wrote:rats, I could not have gotten CBD from Sweden anyway.

Maybe they will if the download version is popular enough. I did my part, now they just have to do theirs by fixing the iTunes problem. I would be very happy to have a CD version as well.Laurie wrote:I can't download it from CBD either.

though I hope they do better cover art than the pic on the download files. It is "okay", just not something I'd want on my hard copy.

IMHO Family Portraits would be very popular released on CD. Unfortunately FOTF never will see that.jennifertwt wrote:Maybe they will if the download version is popular enough.

so has anyone heard from Focus on the iTunes issue? If no one has, I will try emailing them myself on Monday.

If you're referring to the episodess being the same, Nathan is aware and was supposed to get it fixed. The problem I have is if it was fixed, I don't know how to update the episodes without paying for them again.

I think I'll hold out for CDs for a couple of months. I only just bought my first digital (music) album and I don't want to buy the MP3s and then have the CDs come out.

I agree with Austin. I've heard all of them before, because of the Washington Secret Word contest, so I can wait and hold out a little. It won't kill me. I'll be fine. Totally fine...

I understand and have the same problem. If it were just paying for those particular episodes, it would not be so bad, but I do NOT want to have to pay for the whole album again. That is not fair to the consumers. I will wait a few more days and see what comes of it. A life lesson my father told me decades ago about "following the crowd" is coming back.............I have no access to CBD, but do now wish I had waited a bit to make sure all was in order.Bren wrote:If you're referring to the episodess being the same, Nathan is aware and was supposed to get it fixed.

have you ever tried ordering from the fotf.ca site? they have downloads too but they're not region blocked like CBD and I've heard the checkout process is way smoother.jennifertwt wrote:I understand and have the same problem.

I really prefer hard copies, but will keep that in mind for the future. This first venture with iTunes has not brought me confidence. I hope they can work out a solution that does not cost us more money. Maybe refund our original download and then we can re-purchase? or make the eps available separately. I would be willing to pay for While Dad´s Away since A Member of the Family was repeated on several versions of album 1. (not sure which version I have, but I do have the ep).Reddo wrote:have you ever tried ordering from the fotf.ca site? they have downloads too but they're not region blocked like CBD and I've heard the checkout process is way smoother.jennifertwt wrote:I understand and have the same problem.

I wonder if they will play Family Portraits on the regular broadcast now that they are "out".....that would be nice for those of us with corrupted files who do not want to repurchase.

Dear all,
Yes, there was an initial glitch on iTunes with the Family Portraits album as two of the tracks had the wrong audio. This has since been fixed on the iTunes store.
Several people who downloaded the version with the error have contacted us here at Focus and we've sent them the corrected tracks. If you were one of the initial buyers who got the incorrect version, send us an e-mail at:
[email protected]
We'll be happy to send you out the correct audio files right away.
We're sorry for the initial problem. Thank you to everyone who picked up Family Portraits!
