A few simple questions about Apple TV

I have a bunch of TV shows/movies/music I've downloaded in iTunes on my iMac. I would like to watch all that stuff onto my TV. Can I do that with Apple TV? Will it connect wirelessly to my iMac, or will I have to download all this stuff again? Also, if going forward I download new content on either device, will they sync back-and-fourth? Finally, how easy is the setup? Thanks much!

yes this is what the appletv is for

it can connecte wirelessly to your existing itunes library. you won't have to redownload the content.
Also, if going forward I download new content on either device, will they sync back-and-fourth? Finally, how easy is the setup? Thanks much!
any content purchased on the appletv will auto-sync back to your itunes library.

  • A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

    Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
    Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
    Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
    Cheers

    I have the origina iPhone.
    Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
    Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
    My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

  • Simple question about mount and delay script

    Hello, I have a simple question about mounting volumes on start up.
    My computer wakes up auto - and then auto there are serveral applescript tasks (mount and start up programs)
    I use this script (daily) for serveral connections with external volumes I always need the connect to. ( In the script I use this code 3 times for other locations) I do this on start up.
    set Uname to "XXX"
    set Pword to "XXX"
    set someVolume to "afp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XXX/XXX
    mount volume someVolume as user name Uname with password Pword
    (same code for 2 other locations)
    When i do this on start up sometimes the script says there is no connection possible. I guess it's because on start up the connection isn't there. And 1 minute later when computer is total ready the connection is ok. When I run the script then It works. Just sometimes ( In the morning) 'It' want to connect but the script stops. When i do it manually(I run the script again) it works just fine.
    Is it possible that I need a delay? Can someone explain this?
    How would I make a delay handler for this script? Is that the best solution?
    Thanks in advance. This is something small i'm wondering about.
    Colin

    BTW, If you saved the script as an application +(and not as an application bundle)+ you could drop the script on to *Drop Script Backgrounder* (freeware).
    Then the script would run in the background, so, you wouldn't see it running in the Finder.

  • Few basic questions about database administration

    Hello,
    I have a few basic questions about database administration.
    1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
    2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
    3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.

    1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
    2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
    3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

  • A simple question about combo box

    Dear All,
    Just got a simple question about combo box: I have one of these selectors with labels based on filtered rows from a table.
    Is it possible to have one more label that would select all options?
    Like:
    Product A
    Product B
    Product C
    All Product
    Many thanks for your help!
    Gilles

    Hi Gilles,
    The purpose of ComboBox itself to select single option out of many.
    For your purpose, you may have to use "List Builder" which can accomodate 1 or more  to select.
    Please revert for more clarification if you need.
    With best wishes

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • A simple question about performance!

    Hi! I have a simple question about performance. Suppouse that you have a servlet or a class with DB access, and you need to use a value several times in that page. What is best, to assign the value from say, a resultset or a request.getParameter() to a variable or to call the resultset or the request every time you need to retrieve that value? Which option uses less memory, which is faster, etc.?
    Hoping the best fou u
    Raul

    If you need more values from a db, the best is to open some connections (connection pool) and use the for accessing the db.
    To get the data only once, open the connection, get the data, store the data whereever you want: variable (class), hidden control (if you want to send from one page to another by request) and close the connection as quicky as possible.
    The advantage of the first method is that the most time consuming activity (connections opening) is done only once.

  • Simple question about flex and AS 3.0

    Hi, this might sound like a simple question so I apologize...
    I have both a copy of flex 2 and 3, and i want to simply code in AS
    3.0 not mxml. I referred to the help of both flex 2 and 3, and all
    i could come up with is "you can add dynamic behavior to your
    documents using actionscript", which means to me, you only write
    your functions in AS and create instances with mxml (...ugh).
    personally, i find mxml to be ugly (mainly because it looks like
    html to me), and i'd rather not use it. coming from programming in
    an IDE in Java, it seems like it would be nicer to have something
    similar, all the while having the power and cool features of flash.
    I'm not fully educated in this matter so i understand that i could
    be totally wrong.
    i mean, if i have to code in mxml, i will. i'm a web
    programmer for a living, and if a more experience programmer said
    something like "if you don't code mxml in flex, you'll never get a
    job coding in flex", i would trust the advice, and learn the ugly
    code. :)
    yes, i do have Flash cs3, it's great but it seems like a pain
    to me the way you organize classes.... i've only seen a few
    tutorials, ones that explain how you cannot simply import a custom
    class, you have tell your movie to link to it, put it in the same
    directory, or manually name the package, it's sort of confusing.
    my main point here is that i'm very eager to start building
    apps in straight AS 3.0 instead of using flash cs3 (for some
    projects), and it would be cool to get some help or be pointed in
    the right direction.
    to simplify:
    can i write AS 3.0 and only as 3.0 in flex 2 or 3? how? can
    you link me to a tutorial? any advise?
    thanks!

    Hey William, thanks for the post. It's a great coincidence
    because I'm reading that book as well. I'm about half way through
    it, and I love it. I installed mxmlc on my linux box and am writing
    pure AS 3 apps. I think that's the way to go, though I know it's
    not for everybody.
    My problem with mxml is that it has a weird syntax for
    function calls, and it's not as 'intuitive' for a person like me,
    who came from C++ and Java programming in the past. I like writing
    programs in the C++ and Java style syntax, and since so many other
    languages use a similar syntax, I don't see any reason to learn the
    nuances of mxml, unless I was getting paid to do it. As far as I
    can tell there is no benefit.
    I hate using Flash to write flash apps as well, I feel like
    they become messy and confusing, especially when trying to write an
    OOP application. I only use it if I want to move an object in a
    very specific way and can't do it with the Tween methods.

  • A Few Basic Questions About Random Shut Downs (RSD)

    i think my month and a half old macbook has "RSD", its a white 13 inch which i bought refurbrished, Iv got a few questions about RSD and apple serice
    First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it soemthing you really have no influence over?
    secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long might it take (it has to ship from new england if that means anything)?
    has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had problems?
    Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
    and last should i expect to lose everything on the harddrive ifg i send it in?

    First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it
    soemthing you really have no influence over?
    You can't avoid it. You can temporarily reduce it by:
    1. Holding down the power button at startup until it beeps.
    2. Setting your energy saver settings so it doesn't sleep.
    But over time, even those strategies will fail to help.
    secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long
    might it take (it has to ship from new england if
    that means anything)?
    I took mine to the Apple Store last Wednesday and it was overnighted to the repair center. It was delivered back to me the this Wednesday. So it took one week in my case. I know there are folks that sent theirs in before I did that had to wait longer, but I think that's because there was a parts shortage.
    has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had
    problems?
    The first time I sent mine in it worked fine for three weeks and then the RSD returned, but that was because Apple really didn't know at the time what the problem was. By the time I sent it in the second time, they had just concluded that a heatsink replacement would fix the problem. Hopefully they were right - only time will tell, since the issue generally seems to take a few weeks or more to occur.
    Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in
    sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with
    it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
    It will get worse over time. If it only happens rarely, they might not be able to replicate the problem if you take it in for service right away. (The first time I took it to the Apple Store they couldn't get it to shut down. By the time I took it in the second time, it was predictable enough that I knew it would shut done right after they turned it on - then they sent it in for service.) If it happens fairly regularly (like every time you start it after its been sitting for awhile, or any time you wake it from sleep), then definitely take it in. Supposedly they really do know how to fix it now.
    and last should i expect to lose everything on the
    harddrive ifg i send it in?
    Both times that I got mine back all of my data was intact. However, it is always good practice to do a full backup before you send it in -- just in case.

  • A few simple questions

    Hi, the company I work for will soon be doing some work with OS X server and in an effort to familiarise myself with the software I have set it up at my home on an old blue and white G3 (sadly the best hardware I have to spare right now).
    I would like to configure the server to share the internet, serve web pages and an FTP server and a few other basic tasks, but I keep running into trouble, and would appreciate some feedback on these simple questions. My setup is as follows:
    Sympatico connection via ethernet DSL modem (server connects via PPPoE)
    2nd NIC on server connected to a 5 port switch
    Powermac G5 and Windows XP workstations (currently only testing with XP box)
    I have been unable to get the server to share the internet connection, the DHCP server does not seem to be serving IPs (although if I map a static address it works) but either way I cannot browse.
    My questions are:
    Will this setup work with the server connecting via PPPoE or does it require a static IP from my ISP?
    Do I have to configure DNS or can I just enter my ISP's DNS IPs instead?
    Is there anyway to return the server configuration to default settings? I tried using Gateway Setup Assistant which didn't work, and I'm worried that it's dropped in some settings I'm not aware of.
    I've done some reading on here and while I understand it's easier to let a $50 Dlink router handle NAT I'd like to understand this so I can better advise my client.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Toby

    It is entirely possible to run what you describe, but it's hard to tell what state it's in now (and therefore what changes are needed to make it work).
    In general, the steps you should follow are:
    1) Get the public network side working so the server can talk to the outside world.
    2) Get the private network working between the server and the clients.
    3) Run gateway assistant, or manually configure the various parts using Server Admin.
    The system shouldn't care whether you're using PPPoE, DHCP, static addresses, or even dialup for the public link, so that's not an issue, and neither should DNS.
    Other things to check include the firewall on the server (turn it off during this setup to make sure it's not just a firewall configuration issue).
    Also, make sure you're using different subnets on the public and private networks, e.g. don't try to have the server hand out public IP addresses to the clients - that won't work.
    Check that your basic network connectivity (e.g. ping) works between the various systems on the network. if the clients can't ping the gateway system then they're not going to go anywhere.

  • Few common questions about Mobile Forms

    Hello, everyone!
    I have a few questions about mobile forms:
    Can a form be integrated with a portal, which is build NOT on Adobe CQ\AEM technology?
    I've created a form and loaded it to the server repository via Form Manager. Now I can access it in my browser like this:
    http://testlcserver:8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/hrform.html?contentRoot=repository%3 A%2F%2F%2FApplications%2FTest%2F1.0&template=UberForm.xdp&dataRef=
    And the question is: what is the right way to share forms to users on a production environment (without integration in a portal pages on so on, let it be just a link to a form which users have to fill in)?  I mean, should it be the same link, or it is only for developers need and to share forms to users some other way must be used?

    For integrating on custom portal, you would need to integrate with form submit proxy for handling of submission as mentioned @ http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/mobile-forms-service-proxy.html.
    As far as url of form is concerned, it’s really up you. You can choose to hide the request parameters as couple of other customers are doing. You can find more information about hiding form template and content root from request parameter @ http://blogs.adobe.com/foxes/hide-parameters-from-mobile-form-url/

  • Maybe a simple question about M2T ?

    Hi
    I record in HDV on the JVC GY 101.
    I store on the Focus Enhancements DR HD100 Hard disk recorder.
    The footage I have is in HDV 25frames Progressive.
    The hard disk stores as m2t file and I seem to need to use Mpeg streamclip to convert for Final Cut Pro HD.
    I have a few questions about this.
    1) What should i convert to with mpeg streamclip ? mov, dv m2v etc etc
    2) What setting should I have on FCP with regards to screen size ? The converted clips are 1280x720. When I choose this setting on the sequence, I end up with small black bars left and right of the video on the canvas ???
    3) I will also later have to add some digi beta footage which will be PAL, 720x576 Anamorphic.
    4) What is the best resolution for me here ?
    5) And will the quality of the original m2t file be downgraded by the mpeg streamclip ?
    Thanks so much for your help
    All the best
    Simon

    HDV isn't an "edit-friendly" format, meaning: HDV uses inter-frame compression, combined with a long group-of-pictures (GOP) of 15 frames (12 frames in PAL-equivalent). In intra-frame compression (as in DV, DVCPRO HD, etc.), each video frame is a complete image that stands alone. Inter-frame compression (which is also used in DVDs) uses only a limited number of complete image frames, the GOP determines that number. So, in HDV for example, with a GOP of 15 frames, 1 second of 30fps video contains only 2 complete frames, while the other 28 frames are determined by calculations used in conjunction with the Bi-directional ('B') and Predicted ('P') frames, which contain partial information on the changes in the video in between the 'I' frames which contain whole images. This process, of course, requires much more computer processing power than when editing DV, DVCPRO HD, Uncompressed, etc.
    Editing video streams such as HDV (and XDCAM HD) is made difficult by the reduced number of I-frames. For example, if you make a cut in between the I-frames in the video clip, the computer has to then recalculate new I-frames that are placed at both sides of the cut. Converting on capture/after import to an intra-frame codec like DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422, or Uncompressed will reduce processing power and increase real-time performance, as well as give better performance when adding effects and performing compositing like chroma-keying.
    A common rule of thumb in professional applications is to acquire in HDV, XDCAM HD, etc., but capture and edit in DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422, or even Uncompressed. Native HDV editing is not taboo by any means; it's just not as easy or robust -- especially with the LONG render times. Depending on what kind of work you do (and of course personal preference), you may not see much benefit by transcoding to another format.
    Are you suggesting i have to convert each clip after capture?
    Unless you have an HDV deck with HD-SDI and a capture card, you would have to convert each clip. Batch-conversion would be very useful for that.
    Hope that helps.

  • SIMPLE QUESTION ABOUT HD!!!

    Ok, I know that there are no HD DVD players yet, but can I burn my HD project on a regular DVD just for my own personal use on my G5? Or I can only use the "build" button? If I can do that... What am I doing wrong? Are my DVD formats wrong on my prefrences?

    Yeah, I knew about Apple DVD 4.6 and "build" button. My real question I already answered, because I wanted to burn my HD project on a regular SD, and that's what it wouldn't allow me to do. But I guess we can do it manually right and that's how I did. Thanks a lot I just needed to know that I wasn't the only maniac feeling screwed.
    This is from the posting: HD ON SD?
    Thanks a lot Chris. My last question I guess is how do the Hollywood Pros do it? Do they just simply have HD tapes?

  • Two questions about apple mail

    hey everyone. i'm getting to learn a little more about apple mail these days; smoothing out Gmail IMAP synching and whatnaught. i've stumbled into the mail directory on my macbook and had some questions.
    1. the "mail downloads" folder (home/library/mail downloads). what is the significance of this folder? in the preferences, i have my default downloads saved to the main "downloads" folder. yet there is a random number of files in there; i don't think they constiute the totality of every message i've received that has a file to download, so what is the logic of those files? if i delete them will the downloads not be available from individual mail messages any longer?
    2. i see some older IMAP mailboxes for two accounts that i don't even have access to any more. they don't, however, show up on the mail app itself. is there some way to reintegrate these mailboxes (just for archival purposes, and the ability to see their messages) into the mail program?
    thanks so much!
    quin

    Aaron,
    The Mail Downloads folder contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages. The most typical ways that content results in that folder are:
    1) quickly clicking the Save button on a message, rather than using a click-hold to then have the option to choose a target location of the Save;
    2) you open an attachment with another application. There Mail Downloads is only meant to be a temporary storage location. Attachments are kept as originally received with the message itself. Also, in the more recent version of Mail, it is redundantly kept in a folder within the INBOX.mbox folder named Attachments -- this is a behind the scenes behavior. It first appeared only for IMAP mailboxes, but more recently in Mail 4.x is also the case with a POP account. If unedited, then depending how you have your preference set up, attachments may be removed when Mail is quit, etc.;
    3) Mail in 10.5.x and 10.6.x seems to require the Mail Downloads folder to be created, rather than use the Downloads folder. The latter is mostly used as the location of items you click to load from a remote server, whether in a Browser or in Mail.
    With respect to your old IMAP account folders or mailboxes, where have you found them? I would assume any old IMAP accounts have been deactivated in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced if in the Mail folder, but not showing in the Sidebar to Mail? It would problematic to activate an IMAP account if it can no longer contact the IMAP server. Any xxxx.imapmbox folder can be dragged from the Mail folder (after quitting Mail) to say the Desktop, renamed as xxxx.mbox folder, and then back in Mail imported to be an On My Mac mailbox for archival.
    More info, please.

  • A simple Question about % in CR Chart!

    Hi, I have another simple question.
    When i use SQL to storage data and wanna Crystal Report to display the data in chart using %
    which data type should i use?
    float or string?
    and I found when i use 0.12 as 12% in database , It could not display in Crystal Report line chart normally.
    What should I do??
    Please Help!!!
    Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

    If you have the datatype as string from your database then try adding the string field as a summary field in chart and select maximum instead of count and if you have them in number format then you can directly select the percentage in chart.
