Question about using DVD covers for the movies I import

Question for all you mac genii - When I import a dvd that I own into my itunes library and sync to my  tv, how can I get the DVD cover art to appear so it looks like the stuff I have purchased from the itunes library? It there a way to edit the cover art for movies? Thanks in advance...

You add it just like you would for music - the catch is that if you are doing syncing, you need to re-sync the whole file (so the embedded artwork will transfer). Add the artwork, un-check the movie/tv show to be synced, do a sync (it should be removed from the ATV), and then check it to synced again and do a sync (it should push it back out to the ATV again).
Kind of a pain - so it is best to tag your files (MetaX is awesome) before you do any syncing of files.

  • Question about using multiple iPods on the same PC

    I've read the FAQs on this subject but I still have a couple of questions about multiple users with separate iPods using the same PC.
    I want to use my family's desktop (A new Gateway with Vista, if it matters) for my new iPod Classic, but my father already has an iTunes account on there for his iPod. I know I can create a new user account on the PC and move iTunes to a shared folder so that we can share music, but will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases and then move new songs into my separate iTunes account via the shared folder? Will it be its own separate iTunes account (separate user name, separate credit card used, etc.) or will it just be a second library that's dependant on the first?
    I want to be able to have my own iTunes account, make my own purchases in it, and maybe occasionally share tv shows or something with my father.
    If this can't be done, would I be better off just creating new playlists for our two iPods from the same library, or creating a second library on my Father's account?
    Also, if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
    I hope that made sense.
    Sorry if these seem like silly questions. This will be my first iPod as I'm really excited about the 160gig and want to know if these things are possible.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi, Wes.
    Congratulations on your new iPod Classic and Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    For no particular reason, let's answer your last question first ...
    ... if I want to access things I've purchased from iTunes on this desktop in iTunes on my notebook, will I be able to?
    The iTunes Store operates on a one download per purchase policy so you will have to copy the purchases from one computer to the other and make sure that you authorize the laptop to play the songs.
    As to your first question ...
    ... will this second account be able to purchase music from the iTunes store or am I going to have to switch between Windows User accounts to make purchases ...
    Whatever XP User Account you are logged in to doesn't really matter. What's important is which Apple Account you sign in to ... yours or your Dad's or - if you had my Apple ID and password - The Mimico Kid's for that matter. You can sign in to any Apple Account on any XP User Account. Or any computer for that matter.
    Where the XP User Account comes into play is that it will determine where on your computer the purchases are downloaded. Files will be sent to the iTunes Music folder as specified in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab. Default settings will have a different location for each User Account - C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes - but if you've read this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, you will know you can change the location of the iTunes Music folder in each XP Account to a common location such as C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes.
    Post back if all this hasn't been as clear as mud and you need anything clarified.

  • Question about using "dumb terminals" for multiple access points

    For both home and a small busniess setting I have been trying to find info about the possibility of using some form of dumb terminal to provide multimple acces points to a single computer rather than a network of multiple computers.
    I would like to use my LCD TVs, (which have AV and PC inputs) as monitors. I am going to purchase a new mac soon, and it seems it would make sense to spend more on 1 mac with more capability rather than 5 mac-minis (yes, I am trying to have 5 access points, with one one mac).
    I have CAT5 running to all the locations I want to use, I also have airport.
    For the most part I'm expecting only one user at a time, but occasional two. OS X is multi user, but can it support simultaneous users?
    I have searched the discussions/forums and some google searching. Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. But, I can't imagine that I am the only person who has thought of this.
    If you have any thoughts or suggesting for further searching I would appreciate it. Thanks

    On each of these 'dumb terminals' I assume you are looking to access the complete Mac desktop from the central Mac?
    Unfortunately, this can't be done.
    In the past, the setup you describe first was used on mainframes where each end node was a dumb terminal. But it was just text.
    Next came X11 which does mostly what you are asking about, but each end node is basically a full computer in itself. You can remotely log into a central server and get a complete desktop session. This would take using a central computer that is running full X-Windows and then you'd need a PC running Linux, or running Windows and a X-Terminal package like Exceed or a Mac with X11 installed (not sure if you can make the Mac X11 do a full-blown desktop X session.) Note that as the central server, you'd need a computer running an OS with full-blown X-Windows (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) -- OS X is UNIX but it doesn't run full X-Windows as its window manager.
    Finally, there is what are called 'thin clients' ... a good example is Sun Microsystems' SunRay... it's enough hardware on the client side to provide display, keyboard and mouse. They boot off a central Sun Solaris server and work just like X-Windows clients. The difference here is that the SunRay unit can't work on its own; it has no disk, and has to boot from the SunRay server.
    And of course there's Windows Terminal Services, which lets you do the same thing with Windows. I think that takes Windows Server edition software on the central computer, and then a regular PC as a client.
    Sounds like your only option is to use Mac minis as you suggest. But then there's no need for a central computer to share, obviously.

  • Thinking about using Time Machine for the first time...

    I just assume that updates are inherently good to have, regardless of what it's for. I figure that the developers know a lot more than I do regarding the optimization or improvement of their own software, so I simply allow their download. I'm thinking about using my Time Machine for the first time and reverting back to the pre-9.1 install, if that's even possible. Things were working fine for me and now there are all kinds of issues with communication between my Axiom Pro 61 and Logic. Nothing responds through Hypercontrol anymore, and I don't expect any updates from M-Audio until at least 2012. Anyone else thinking about taking this route?

    Yes, I did. I opened that version immediately after I discovered that 9.1 had that effect and the controller was still inoperative. Of course, I still have MIDI input and PB/Mod wheel control, but that's about it. Everything else would need to be manually loaded, which the Pro series is supposed to do automatically. I haven't restarted my iMac yet, nor have I tried removing the keyboard from the computer altogether and perhaps reconnecting it. Maybe that would reset it...

  • General Questions About Use of Hyperion for Reporting

    Hi,I'm investigating whether we can use Hyperion reporting tools for my company. Can anyone help with the ff:What is the difference between Hyperion Reports and SQR? From the docs I've seen, SQR seems more flexible than Reports? Or are they used for different purposes? Can I use Hyperion Reports with DB2 or Oracle databases? Or do I need to use SQR?Finally, is there some sort of demo download that I can try out before recommending these tools?Thanks,roy

    Thanks so much for the reply.
    Before I posted my code, I double-checked my syntax and think I found the problem. I using Fragments at the beginning of my page, and at the end, to construct a wrapper table where I can put some fancier graphics, etc. I'm using the fragments and plain old HTML because using another gridpanel on each page is a bit cumbersome, and also I need the flexibility of possibly doing some dynamic things to this table... Because each fragment doesn't have matching tags to complete the page, I think that's screwing up the designer, as you suggested. For instance, here is my fragment at the top of each page :
    <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="1">
    <TR>
    <TD ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
    <TABLE WIDTH="595" BORDER="2" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDERCOLOR="#184266">
    <TR>
    <TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="LEFT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
    <TD WIDTH="50%" ALIGN="RIGHT" BGCOLOR="#184266"> </TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
    <TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">
    <!-- WIZARD GRID BEGINS HERE -->
    Any suggestions on a better way to use includes to break out some necessary HTML??
    THANKS very much!

  • Question about using MAX to get the lastest date.

    My question is I need to get the latest erstate.DATE_CREATED.
    I thought that I could just do the following max(erstate.DATE_CREATED) but get
    this error message (ora-00937: not a single-group group function). Can some explain to me what I am supposed to do. Thanks
    select     eractivity.er_case_id,
         erstate.description as latest_status,
         erstate.DATE_CREATED
    from      dpss_gdats.er_activity eractivity,
         dpss_gdats.er_state erstate
    where      eractivity.ER_STATE_ID = erstate.er_state_id
    and      eractivity.er_case_id = :p_case

    Yes max(erstate.DATE_CREATED) will get you the latest erstate.DATE_CREATED. Looking at your query I'm not really sure if you want the latest date for every case_id, description or you want the latest date_created period.
    If you want the former:
    select eractivity.er_case_id, erstate.description as latest_status,
    max(erstate.DATE_CREATED)
    from dpss_gdats.er_activity eractivity,
    dpss_gdats.er_state erstate
    where eractivity.ER_STATE_ID = erstate.er_state_id
    and eractivity.er_case_id = :p_case
    group by eractivity.er_case_id, erstate.description
    for the latter :
    select max(erstate.DATE_CREATED)
    from dpss_gdats.er_activity eractivity,
    dpss_gdats.er_state erstate
    where eractivity.ER_STATE_ID = erstate.er_state_id
    and eractivity.er_case_id = :p_case

  • Question about using 1 SETID for Vendor Master

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a large healthcare system and we are currently in the PeopleSoft training classes and are about to move into the design phase. We are a multi hospital system and are moving everyone to PeopleSoft for our ERP system. My questions is for Supply Chain purposes and hope that someone can help clarify. It is our goal to use 1 vendor master SETID for our entire hospital system. Please see my question below.
    The customer account # for a vendor is currently at the set id. The customer account # is specific to an entity as it identifies where the vendor should ship. How can we have one vendor master (setid) and still allow the correct customer account # to default on the PO (the buyer needs this when calling in an order)?

  • Questions about using Styles Window for formatting a book in Apple Works.

    Help says "You can create your own styles in any document type." Not clear on how to do that.
    I wish to have one Style or group of Styles associated with one document of say 500 pages for a book. Each chapter Heading. as a single column layout, is separated by Section Breaks from previous and following text in 2 column layout.
    Question 1. How do I make Styles window settings (Edit/Done) specific for this entire document? Can I edit settings in Styles window and have them remain specific and locked to this particular document? Or are the Styles window settings constant across all documents?
    Question 2. (If Styles window settings are not specific and locked to this document) Do I need to make a NEW Style for each purpose within the document, as in Book Heading, Book Subheading, Book Body, Book special paragraph style, and etc.
    Question 3. When importing multiple sections of the work (by copy and paste) from other AW documents how can I have the imported text follow the book’s Style settings (and vice versa how to keep tab settings that are specific in some areas). Sometimes the imported work refuses to conform to the Book document’s style say line spacing for instance.
    Thank you
    Hilary Fish

    Hi Hilary,
    I haven't used styles enough to give definitive answers to your questions, but I'm sure others will join in and correct any errors in what follows.
    A "Style" is essentially a set of paragraph level format settings that can be collectively applied to a paragraph or contiguous set of paragraphs as a set, rather than having to apply each attribute individually. Once a style is applied to various parts of a document, changes made to the style specification will apply to every part of the document to which that style has been applied.
    AppleWorks also includes two other types of Styles—Outline styles (Diamond, Harvard and Legal), used to identify hierarchical levels of paragraphs, and Table styles, used to format tables.
    Question 1: From the Help article "Using Styles":
    You can copy the collection of all the styles available in a document and make them available in another document. This is called exporting and importing a stylesheet.
    I read this as saying that styles you create are specific to the document in which they are created, but may be exported to other documents. "Other documents" would includes documents saved as templates, which could be used to create the various sections of a book.
    Question 2:
    As the set of styles is specific to the document it is created in (or into which it is imported), you can probably leave "Book " off the names of the styles (but may decide that leaving it on makes it easier to know what the styles are for). You will need to use an existing style or create a new one for each purpose within the document.
    Question 3:
    Copy copies the text AND formatting of the selected material.
    Paste pastes the text AND formatting of the selected material.
    Paste also inserts the pasted material into the target document at the insertion point. All of the pasted material goes into the same Section. If the pasted material includes a section break, then a new section will be created in the target document.
    If you export the set of styles from the master document and apply them to the parts of the source document before transferring the material to the master document, I suspect the formatting will be carried over.
    Another possibility is to leave the source document with no formatting at all beyond paragraph breaks, and to apply the formatting (styles) after transferring the text.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Simple Question About Using "Group by" Inside the Oracle XE Query Builder

    Hi,
    I am a new user of Oracle 10g XE and I have built and populated some tables. I am trying to create a view (make a query) via using the Query Builder. I have chosen two attributes, say course_section_ID and trainer_ID in the same table. I choose the "COUNT" function for course_section_no and I check the box for "Group By" with trainer_ID. (I would like to count the number course sections each trainer is teaching). Then I "run" the query and the same error message appears:
    fail to parse SQL query:
    ORA-00904: "COURSE_SECTION"."TRAINER_ID": invalid identifier
    Both attribute names should be valid (as shown above).
    If I only choose course_section_ID and do a COUNT on it, it gives the same error message on course_section_no.
    I did try to do the same thing with the demo HR database. There were no problems with counting a field nor with grouping on a field with HR.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks.

    I have got it. When all the attribute names are in the uppercase, then I can do aggregate functions and "group by" with the GUI.

  • Question about using Forms Central for making fillable school worksheets

    Can Forms Central be used to create (fillable) school worksheets for my son, that he can then open and type responces to? That is the only thing I need it for. For instance, I would like to make worksheets for spelling that would ask him to type certain spellings words (from a list) where long a is spelled ai, et cetera.

    Sure - that sound like a very achievable form to create using FormsCentral.   You can/should give it a try by creating a free account and either creating a new form from "blank" (new custom form) or starting with a related Template you would modify.  You can see if it would work for you, you can have one form at a time in your free account, you can always delete the one you try out and then try another.

  • Question about minimum speeds required for watching movies.

    I watch Netflix on my home computer fine (and Hulu) and will occasionally share the screen with my HDTV and it works fine.
    With AppleTV, can I expect to be able to rent/watch movies with basic DSL Internet, with speeds up to 1.5 Mbps?
    Or do I really need to have faster Internet to consider it?
    Thanks!

    I would upgrade. You need at least 3mbps for SD content and 5mbps for HD
    Netflix degrades quality based on the connection and you will have a long wait if renting through iTunes.

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.
