Can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac

can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac?

Streaming over wireless.. Hmmm if I say it works well and it doesn't I will get the blame.. if I say it doesn't work and he tries it and finds out it does.. he will think I'm a dupe or a dope..
There is no single right answer. On paper yes, wireless can do it.. in practice.. it depends on a huge number of variables. My experience.. and not with this equipment.. is that wireless can happily stream a show for an hour.. and then suddenly start to judder and flutter and pause and cause angst and misery. I don't trust it. Try it and see.. it might work good for you. It might work sometimes.. it might not work at all. Or it could just be snail like slow. Use the experimental method.. suck and see.
On more general note.. what files are you going to play from the TC.. I use WD Live as it plays everything.. Apple make the ATV to link to itunes.

  • I am trying to watch movies stored on a WD Elements hard drive but how do I play them through my macbook pro? Thank you

    Please can anyone help me - I want to watch movies stored on an WD Elements external hard drive through my macbook pro.How do I do this as it seems to keep asking for an application to open it?

    What format are the movies in? At the end of the file name you should see something like .mp4, .avi, etc. You probably need a program like this one:

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!
    Deb.

  • HT1657 Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

    Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

    Movies from the iTunes Store download to your device; they do not stream. Under normal circumstances, once the movie has completely downloaded, an Internet connection should no longer be required. In a few instances, I've seen reports of people encountering problems when trying to view a rental in absence of an Internet connection, but such glitches seem to be rare.
    Regards.

  • Can I watch movies on Apple TV that are on my time capsule?

    Can I watch movies on Apple TV that are on my time capsule?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, so long as the movies on your time capsule are part of your iTunes library and iTunes is running on your computer.

  • I can't watch movies, it is asking for latest adobe flash. After updating adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
    Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"...

  • Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    You can indeed.  Simply drag the folder containing the images (or the images themselves) from the hard drive to the iPhoto icon in the dock (same one you click on to open iPhoto.  This will cause iPhoto to start importing whatever you drag in.
    Two suggestions:
    Have a backup of your current library before you do the import just in case iPhoto encounters a corrupt file during import which might damage your existing library of images:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Import the images in small batches if there are many of them.  That way if there is an error with one of the images during import you can easily identify where the bad image is coming from.
    Cheers.

  • Watching movies stored in iPod on TV

    Hi,
    I will like to know how can I watch the movies stored on my Video iPod on TV. Also what about the resolution, the resolution of the movies on iPod will be less than that of TV, so when I play the movie on the TV, will the resolution be small or it can be automatically adjusted by iPod.

    Avinash, if you want to put any video on your iPod, you will need to ,encode it at a resolution of 320 by 240 (h.264) or 480 by 480 (MPEG4) pixels, so the iPod will not adjust the res. automatically because the maximum res. is limited to 480 by 480 (it still is bigger than the iPod's maximum of 320 x 240).
    I've found that watching 480 by 270 pixels widescreen movies on my 17" LCD monitor is OK. Also, keep in mind that although a DVD has a res. of 720 by 480, 480 by 270 will certainly be of a lesser quality than a DVD, but could match the res. of a VHS (I don't know what's it's resolution but it is less than a DVD).

  • As of the Yosemite upgrade, I can't watch movies or tv shows using iTunes or Safari.

    As of Yosemite upgrade, I can't watch any movies or tv shows using iTunes or Safari.  I have not previously had this problem before, and I have not changed anything with the monitor.  Here is what I get...  (This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP)  However, I can still watch Netflix using Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, but not with Safari.   (Using a Mini Mac with an LG Monitor Display)  Using HDMI to DVI Apple adapter.  I also tried a straight HDMI cable connection, which made no difference. My Apple TV plays just fine on this monitor.  LG Monitor Model #DM2350D

    Never mind i guess. The iTunes parental controls changed randomly to restricted certain ratings even though i've never touched those in my life. fix your **** apple.
