4.1 Bug - UN-Checking Movie does not stop it from being played!

A new 4.1 bug has been found. Previous to the software update if you unchecked a movie in the iTunes movie library, it didn't show up on ATV. Now it shows up as slightly "greyed out" and it can still be selected and PLAYED.
This causes sort of a parental control issue.
Hey Apple, How can you specify a movie so that it does not ever appear in the ATV Movie Menu, but remains in Itunes?

This is still an issue even after the latest (4.1.1) update. The Apple TV 2 developers are sleeping at the wheel or simply just don’t care.
Or perhaps they have limited resources. I'm sure Apple gets hundreds of bug reports and feature requests every day and those requests have to be prioritized based on the seriousness of the issue and how many users are affected by it.
Have you previously provided feedback at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html?

Setting geo.enabled to false does not stop websites from knowing location. Seems to be related to my proxy setting.....Any ideas on how to completely disable this?

Setting geo.enabled to false does not stop websites from knowing location. It changes based off of what proxy I am using. Is there a way to completely disable this?

I use Comcast in the Chicago area market and have a problem with the "Opt Out" stopping about once a year or so. It appears as being enabled at the Comcast Opt Out page, but the unresolved addresses are still going to the DNS "domain helper" service.
What works for me is to turn off the opt out preference, log off from that Comcast account, and close Firefox. When I restart Firefox, log in to Comcast, and then set the pref to "opt out" again - it works as intended and doesn't cause me a problem until it happens like 10 to 12 months later.
As far as why it seems to affect browsers in a different way, I have no idea. I do have Safari, Opera, and IE 8 installed, in addition to multiple versions of Firefox, but I don't use those other browsers enough to have seen a difference. I am usually opening pages from within Firefox in those other browsers to view the difference, ''or to print something that Firefox screws up in the Print Preview''.

5.2 update does not send audio from video played via Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices or AirPort Express.

I just updated my Apple TV to release 5.2, which is supposed to give Apple TV the ability to "Send stereo audio from movies, TV shows, and other videos on Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices (including AirPort Express and other Apple TVs)." Problem is, this does not seem to be the case.
I have two AirPlay enabled devices:
1) Bose SoundLink Air
2) AirPort Express
In the Apple TV menu, I selected Settings, AirPlay, Bose SoundLink Air. I then played a video; the audio from the video played from my projector's speakers - not from the Bose speaker. I then went back to Apple TV's Settings/AirPlay and selected "Airport Express" (which connected via an aux cable to a speaker)...audio continued to play over my projector's speaker. I can, by the way, play audio on both the Bose and the speaker connected to the Airport Express if I select either of them from the AirPlay menu.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the 5.2 update not working as described?

No. But, are your speakers only connected to the AE or are they also connected to an amplifier?
You would need to use a Toslink cable to go from the Apple TV to the speakers/amp.
I don't use this or know a lot about it, but it is wildly popular, inexpensive and may be of help:

Turning off autoplay does not stop videos from auto-starting, will this be fixed, or should I switch to another browser ? (which do you suggest?)

Hi,
Firefox these days has an annoying habit of starting videos on every news page that I open and when I scroll through my facebook newsfeed. There is only a very select amount of these videos that I would actually want to watch, and it's annoying to be bombarder with this media constantly.
I have tried disabling auto-play in the config page to no avail, and am not interested in installing add-ons to accomplish a task that should be handled by the browser itself.
So, does anyone know of a method to accomplish this with FireFox's own settings, or alternatively recommend a browser that does not have this offensive behavior ?
Thanks in advance...

I think the built-in setting (media.autoplay.enabled) relates to the HTML5 player and doesn't apply to plugins such as the Flash player. You usually can tell whether it's a plugin-based player by right-clicking it and checking whether it has a proprietary context menu instead of the normal Firefox menu.
To control when plugins start, you can use the "Ask to Activate" permission setting. You can adjust this setting on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right side, change the permission for Shockwave Flash (for example) from Always Activate to Ask to Activate. ''(If you have plugins that run in the background or globally, such as security plugins, you may encounter problems using Ask to Activate for those.)''
Of course, once you give permission to a site, each new page you load from that site will be able to auto-start its videos. Taking detailed control of that ''does'' require an add-on. I think this one might be the best integrated with the standard permission feature:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/

Firefox authomatically migrates to an un solicited web site. I have spyware doctor it does not stop it from migrating. What do I do to stop this?

A few minutes after log in to my desired web page, Firefox automatically loads an un requested site, initially it was infomercials about work at home or other unsolicited product pitches. I had some virus problems, so a few weeks ago I bought anti Spyware Doctor, an virus, anti spy-ware software which run constantly.
Initially I only had problems with Windows Explorer, recently this re-direction of my web page is a constant occurrence, some times to disgusting pictures.
What do you suggest? Thanks.

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A: Initial Checking Printer Procedure does not stop

I have a big problem.
My printer does not stop to run the "Checking Printer" procedure.
It tells me: "Open the print-carriage access door, clear the jam, and then touch OK to continue.
Unfortunately there is no paper inside.
Pressing OK, the printer continues the procedure and it NEVER stops.
Switching OFF and ON the power does not help.
But if you try to print the Auto Test Report it works. The printer prints the report without any problem!!!
PLEASE HELP ME
Andrea

You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

Unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

i am unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

I had the same issue. What I did was save the movies on a thrid-party app like Download Manager Lite. Once downloaded, go back to itunes, go to your iDevice, go to apps and transfer the app, then scroll down and click on the app and from there you can send the movies to that app and WILL play. Can only hold up to 8 videos/movies (this is for iPod Touch 3G or better, iPhone 3s or better, iPad requires iOS 4.3 or better)
YES THIS APP SUPPORTS .mp4
From other ipod (nano, classic): I don't remember.
If your just putting them on iTunes, it should show and play on iTunes no problem.

Movie does not fit preview window

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot figure it out.
I made a short movie clip with my iPhone 5. Imported it into iMovie (it looks perfect when I preview it from the event library) and then dragged that clip to a new project. Then when I play the video from within the project, it has been heavily cropped, ie the movie does not fit in the preview window.
I have tried changing the aspect ratio of the project and this made no difference. I also change the setting File > Project Properties > Initial Video Placement to Fit in Frame.
Any help appreciated.

A lot of people who shoot video on the iPhone will hold the phone vertically oriented (portrait orientation). For shooting movies, you will get the best results when you rotate the phone 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
iMovie will always edit in landscape orientation (long side on top and bottom, short side on the sides) because this is the way TV screens work.

I-movie does not see i-DVD

I-movie does not see i-DVD
I am using a mac mini with system 10.3.7 with 1.47 Ghz Power PC G-4 and 512 MB Ram.
I was having problems with my I-DVD crashing every time I asked it to burn a DVD or make a disc file.
Then I reinstalled I-movie 5 and I-DVD 5 but now the imovie does not seem to see the iDVD. It asks for an i-DVD version 4 or higher when I have already installed the version 5. It does not seem to see it.
I decided to try version 4 but the installation disc that I have for I-life 4 does not allow me to install I-movie and I-DVD from the disc because it says that one of those applications is open. Thus I had to drag the applications from another computer.
So, I transferred an old version 4 for I-movie and I-DVD from another computer and when I try to make a DVD it comes up with the message that I need an I-DVD version 3 or higher and does not see the version 4 that is there.
The result is that I can create a DVD from I-movie.
If I try to create a DVD booting up on my firewire external HD with 10.3.4 and versions 4 of imovie and idvd, I have no problem.
Ideas?
Thanks you,
Robert Najemy

Hi Robert,
Mac OS 10.4.2 is now available. Have you considered upgrading your OS?
Having said that, I will qualify it by also saying that I do not know if that one item will solve your problem but I am wondering if your OS and your applications are now confused?
Hope this helps.

HT1657 Rented movie does not download on Apple tv

Dear apple. You've done it again. You ruined our movie night. Rented movie, got all ready to start watching. Now the movie does not download. Wrong on your Sid as Internet works (100Mbps) and other content/trailers download swiftly.
I am extremely ****** of that this happened again. I have lost the past hour trying various things and now finding a way to get my money back.
Please up your game.

Thanks King_Penguin,
The fact that I logged into an apple.com site fooled me to believe that this was a 'report a problem' site.
I since found the 'report a problem' link.
Wasn't easy to find (could not find it on my apple TV or iPad) had to:
log into iTunes via laptop, and then
click on iTunes Store (right top);
click on account (quick link or at bottom);
select "see all' next to purchase history;
click on small arrow next to 'problem' purchase (movie rental for me);
click on 'report a problem' (at bottom);
click on 'report a problem again (now inside the purchase details) - redirect to browse
fill in details, and
submit.
As you can see quite a long process.
The long process and my missed movie night were the frustrating parts.
The reponse from Apple Customer Support was swift and extremely good - makes up for the frustration.

After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
Does anybody else have that problem?
Thanks!
Hank

I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
Thanks,
Chris

Unable to update when executed, table gets lock Execution does not stop Execution even for an hour

Following is my Query unable to update when Executed table gets lock Execution does not stop even for an hour.
update Employees
set Status = 'Close'
where statusid IN (select statusid
from MyView
where DownloadedDate ='2014-07-27 00:00:00.000'
here Employee contains 3,00,000 of records and Subquery return 1,50,000 Empid
i tried in various ways but not able to solve, statusid column have no index on, i tried using cursor but it does not work.
plz let me know how to solve this Issue, THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hello,
You should better post your question to a more related Forum, like Transact-SQL or SQL Server Database Engine; this Forum is for samples & community Projects.
Have you checked the execution plan if indexes are used?
You could update the data in chunks, e.g. 10.000 rows per execution. For this you have to add a TOP clause and a filter to update only those, who are not updated yet.
update TOP (10000) Employees
set Status = 'Close'
where statusid IN
(select statusid
from MyView
where DownloadedDate ='2014-07-27 00:00:00.000')
AND Status <> 'Close'
