A wish for Apple
My wish for next christmas would be to be able to capture video AND work on another project simultaneously, I can capture and surf the net, work in DVDSP or other apps, Windows can have two instaces of an application open at the same time, why not with FCP?
formats like .wmv, .rma, mpeg-2, flash, and all other forms of WEB COMPRESSION files.
Which begs the question: Why would you want to edit with these codecs? People need to understand that they should compress the finished product into a .wmv, .mpg, etc., not edit in super compressed formats.
What might be useful is native codecs for HDCAM, HDCAM SR, D5, etc., but that would mean expensive hardware and heavy licensing fees to Sony, Panasonic, and other high end format manufacturers. This is, however, possible. Sony XPRI has support for native HDCAM, and the ability to digitize two streams of SD simultaneously (how cool is that!).

Apple Introduces New Apple TV Software & Lowers Price to $229
Rent High Definition Movies Directly from Your Widescreen TV
MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today unveiled all new software for Apple TV(R) that allows movie fans to rent movies on the iTunes(R) Store directly from their widescreen TV, and lowered the price of Apple TV to just $229. With iTunes Movie Rentals and Apple TV, users can just click a button on their remote to effortlessly rent movies from a catalog of over 1,000 titles by the end of February, including over 100 titles in stunning high definition video with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, with no computer required. DVD-quality iTunes Movie Rentals are $2.99 for library titles and $3.99 for new releases, and high definition versions are just one dollar more with library titles at $3.99 and new releases at $4.99. Apple will provide the new Apple TV software free of charge to existing Apple TV owners when it releases the new Apple TV priced at $229 in about two weeks.
"With the new Apple TV and iTunes Movie Rentals, movie lovers can rent DVD-quality or stunning HD movies from their couch with just a click of a button," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "No more driving to the video store or waiting for DVDs to arrive in the mail."
iTunes Movie Rentals feature iTunes' legendary ease of use, which makes discovering and enjoying movie rentals as simple and easy as buying music on iTunes. Once a movie is rented, it starts downloading from the iTunes Store directly to Apple TV, and users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching it, and once a movie has been started customers have 24 hours to finish it -- or watch it multiple times.
With Apple TV, users can also view photos from their computers, Flickr and .Mac Web Galleries on their widescreen TV as slideshows or screen savers, and anytime photos are updated on Flickr or .Mac, they are automatically updated on Apple TV. Apple TV users can now browse and enjoy the iTunes Store podcast directory of over 125,000 video and audio podcasts, view over 50 million originally created videos from YouTube or choose from a selection of six million songs, over 600 TV shows and 10,000 music videos to purchase directly from their Apple TV. Purchases downloaded to Apple TV are automatically synced back to iTunes on the user's computer for enjoyment on their computer, all current generation iPods* or iPhone(TM).
Apple TV easily connects to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort(R) 802.11 wireless networking, Apple TV now automatically plays all of your iTunes content without setup or management**.
Pricing & Availability
The new Apple TV software will be available as a free automatic download to all Apple TV customers later this month. Apple TV, which includes the Apple Remote, is available from the Apple Store(R) (http://www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $229 (US) for the 40GB model and $329 (US) for the 160GB model (US and Canada). Apple TV requires an 802.11g/n wireless network or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networking, a broadband Internet connection and a high definition widescreen TV. iPod(R) games will not play on Apple TV. iTunes Movie Rentals are available in the US only.
*Movie rentals work on iPod classic, iPod nano with video and iPod touch.
**Compatible with 802.11b/g/n. Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft
specification. Wireless video streaming requires an 802.11g/n network.Yup, updated my Apple TV and got sky news and a couple of other new apps I will never use. I am growing increasingly fed up with looking at all the good stuff there is on offer in America and nothing in the UK..... I know I shouldn't look :)
And it's not just Apple I suppose, checking out the apple and Microsoft US movie stores and they have a much better selection. Wish we all had the willpower to stop giving these companies money until they fulfil customer needs...
Ok rant over, I've been building up to that since I found all the films I love on the US site and can't get them here :( -
IWeb Bugs and a wish for the future. :)
Hi there,
Two issues that I've found moving my photoblog to iWeb, and I'm wondering if they are bugs or issues that the community knows about:
1. I've changed the template I used a lot - font colours, background, etc. Now when I create a new blog entry, it uses the old, standard template and I have to change everything again. Is there a way to make iWeb realise that I've changed my "default" template settings so all new entries remain the same? It seems not. This is my feature wish.
2. Related to this, I solve this problem by just duplicating one of my existing pages and then changing the photo and content and date. The PROBLEM with this is where i think the bug exists. In iWeb, when I click Next/Previous, it goes between the different entries in chronological order, as expected... but when it publishes to .Mac, the next/previous buttons are really messed up, linking to articles/pages that are not even close to being near them in order. I've been able to determine that:
a. Create three new entries in iWeb. Works good.
b. Duplicate the middle entry, put it LAST in the order.
c. The NEXT button on this new, last entry links to the third item, just as the original 2nd item did before I duplicated it.
Is there any way to make iWeb re-calculate the next and previous buttons before you publish it? Or even better, any Apple folks around that can confirm/escalate this?
UPDATE: It's also possible that iWeb is ordering the next and previous buttons based on the time the entry was created in iWeb, rather then the time specified on the entry. If you are porting older entries from a previous blog, this can be a pain because you're not necessarily putting entries in from oldest to newest.
Either way - the behaviour isn't as expected: next and previous buttons ordered by the date specified in the iWeb 'Entries' window.
3. This is more advanced, but seems a bug none the less. I use .Mac publishing, because it's integrated and easy. But I also have my down domain, which I have configured to just "forward" to my .Mac folder. So, when someone goes to www.mydomain.com, the server connects to web.mac.com/me/iWeb/ and makes the request, translating the path. This works really great (save some initial headaches with character encoding), but comments in iWeb blogs don't work when you do this.
They work directly when you go directly to .Mac, but something about the comment system requires that the client browser accurately present the URL to the .Mac server, and in my case, it's reporting my domain name. As a result, when you click to add a comment, you get a "there has been an error" page and it dies.
If this little annoyance could be fixed in a point release version of iWeb, that would be AMAZING.
4. Lastly, one more wish for the future. .mac domain hosting. Domains aren't just for businesses - lots of people have them for their blog/photos/etc now. If I could make my domain point to my .Mac web hosting without any messy translation, I'd be in heaven. I don't even care if I only get my single e-mail address on the domain - just the hosting would be so excellent.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6)It sounds like it! I ported about 10 new posts from my old MovableType installation last night and am seeing the same behaviour - duplicating entries definately breaks the chronological order of next/previous.

Started to get pop ups when tried to open a video on face book. Directed for a download of MPlayerX-2.dmg and did attempt to install but never got video up/.
Error message also states to
To fix it please call Support for Apple +1 800-680-4131 (Toll Free) immediately! and also gives out a web site of http://mac-online-support.comYou may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates

"Look for Apple TV" preference doesn't appear to work
Have just set up Apple TV for a friend, without realising the HD is only 40gb. As a result his music and photos have instantly filled the HD and it seems to be constantly trying to sync (or at least the spinning arrows beside the Apple TV in the devices list won't go away)
To solve the problem until I next get over there, I suggested he merely uncheck "look for Apple TVs" in his iTunes preferences, but the TV still comes up under the list of devices every time he opens iTunes. I have also got him to uncheck the option for synching music and photos in the tabs of his Apple TV device
Any assistance most appreciated
Kind Regards
Bernard
Powerbook G4 1.67mhz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.5)Chances are it's your internet connection.
If you can play things under the Computers tab from your local itunes library without issues then your LAN is likely to be fine.
AppleTV2 does not play well with slow/variable interent connections for rentals.
Basically it calculates how much needs to download to flash memory to allow continuous playback without interruption at the rate your internet connection is delivering - if this rate drops due to more users in your area or perhaps throttling of bandwidth by your ISP then the calculation will be wrong and movies will stop/start.
If you simply have a slow connection, then you have to wait for much of the movie to download first, this may take some hours. On AppleTv1 the presence of an internal drive made this much more robust as the movie would stay on the unit until the rental/view period had expired. It might take hours to download (so rent in advance of viewing) but once it was there it would stay until expiration. AppleTV2 however does not retain the download and often if you restart the film it has to start downloading from scratch which I think is crazy.
Please send feedback here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
I wish they had the option to 'lock the download in memory' until viewed or deleted - this would limit you to 1 HD movie rental at a time in order to keep enough free for other tasks/local streaming usage, but would make the device far more practical for slow connections.
You should test your internet connection at say speedtest.net on the computer.
Just as estimates I'd say:
1Mbps - probably 12 hours+ to start watching HD, less for SD
3-4Mbps - 20-30 mins to start watching HD, within a minute for SD (my speed)
8Mbps+ - watch within a few seconds
If you go to Settings and in iTunes store options change to SD from HD you may find you can watch far quicker with any new rentals, but if you want HD it defeats the purpose.

Compressor 1080p for Apple Devices (10 Mbps) Does Not Include Dolby 5.1 Audio Track
Compressor recognised my file's audio properties as: AAC 5.1 (C L R Ls Rs LFE), 48.000 kHz
I use the 1080p for Apple Devices (10 Mbps) which should include Dobly 5.1 audio track
After the succesfful completion of any file the output file only includes a 2 channel audio track.WIsh I could help and was hoping someone else would jump in with suggestions. The surround sound work I've done successfully is limited to the legacy versions of FCP and Compressor. When I've tested it in the FCPX to Compreessor workflow, I've not got it to work either.
I suggest you post your question in FCP X or Logic Pro forum to see whether you get some help.
Good luck.

Mavericks problems now SOP for Apple upgrades?
Up until a year or so ago I have always found Apple upgrades to be relatively straightforward. Maybe a few peculiar issues related to the particular setup of my Mac - sometimes the laptops would have an issue sometimes my iMac - but in general a few minutes tweaking would sort it out.
However Mavericks seems to continue a trend started by iOS 6 and strongly continued by iOS 7, that upgrades that cause so many problems that they are unworkable. I am beginning to think this malaise has become the new norm for Apple. My iPhones have become subject to frequent BSOD and now Mavericks is one of the worst "upgrades" I have ever seen. My Smart Mailboxes are a complete mess. My general mailbox is not as I would wish to see it and in particular my Gmail accounts are trashed. How did this get out of Cupertino? Did anyone bother testing with anything that might be used in the real world, like Gmail?
I've rolled back to Mountain Lion and will await a proper release of Mavericks.
But be warned Apple - I (and I reckon many more former Apple fans too) am not prepared to put up with the shoddy upgrades much longer. My friends/colleagues tell me how wonderful MSFT has become and how the lessons of the Windows era have been learnt - not sure I quite believe it, but it does seem Apple is intent on following a similar catastrophic learning path when it comes to upgrades.I'm happy for you Barney but certainly from my perspective I do not agree that the past year's upgrades have been "nothing different". A short overview of this community will show that there are major issues for many people.
When you move from being a computer user's platform of choice to mass market (as Apple has clearly done) there is a lot more care required with upgrades.
I do not want a platform which needs tweaking after every upgrade - especially if all my applications are downloaded from the Apple App Store. I have an expectation that Apple has ensured these apps are compatible across upgrades or I am notified that they are not.
If you want to sell a premium product then it needs premium upgrades not poorly validated ones.
Smart Mailbox is a premium OSX feature and it is not working at all after this upgrade. I can see all the messages sitting on the servers but Mail refuses to list them in the SM. That is not a Gmail issue it is an Apple Mail issue and a pretty simple issue to check. And yes of course I've carried out all the rebuilds to try to recover the SMs but no avail. I'm nor trying Mavericks on a backup machine to see if it works any better with that but my working machines are staying on Mountain Lion for now.
You are fortunate your iOS devices work, certainly out of the 4 iPhones (2 5s and 2 4s) and 2 iPads I have here, the 4's and iPads work fine but the 5s are BSODed. Same app suites on the iPhones so that strikes me as a compatability issue.
Anyway my point remains valid - for 6 years since I changed all my laptops and desktops to Apple I have had no issues with any upgrade. Now in the past year I have issues with iOS and now with OSX.
There is a problem -
Would apple consider adding a lable for (proper) Apple Tv games in the store? Like I have Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation & Real Racing 2 HD and they both work full screen via mirroring and they are great, but then i buy GTA Chinatown and it literally just mirrors the ipad sceen and isnt full screen on the tv.
Will apple introduce a note to say they are designed for apple tv or just insist that all new games are fully compatable.
In my opinion apple should push apple tv with iphone/ ipad as a games console, the above games work brilliantly! I just wish all games worked full screenIf you have an iPad 2 or later then you simply mirror the display to the ATV.

While installing new app prompting for Apple Id & Password
Hi,
Can someone help me out, I have created a new apple id and trying to install new apps(Games), it prompting for apple id & password. When I provide credentials pop up the following message "This Apple id hasn't used in iTunes store yet" .
What should I do now? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.There is no fee for creating an iTunes or App Store account. But, before you can download anything from the store, you need to associate your AppleID with a store account, which needs to include payment information. You are only charged anything if or when you download a for fee content item or app for the first time (re-downloads of purchased content other than audiobooks is free, as many times as you wish).
Your account will be active within moments of setting it up in iTunes, and it will work as long as your AppleID is valid (so indefinately - mine has been actice since the iTunes store first opened).
Just for clarity - an AppleID by itself is just an identifier and is used to create accounts (and subsequently log in and use) a number of Apple services. You use an AppleID to create accounts for the iTunes and App stores, for using these forums, as well as services like iCloud, iMessage and so forth. The AppleID is just the identification used to create the accounts, but the service accounts need to be created before they can be used. So you need to use your AppleID to create an iTunes store account before you can start downloading content from the store. -

ITunes Match Unable To Get Past "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..."
Been trying for days but it just gets to "Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match results..." and then stops and allows me to press the Start button again to start the match process. Sometimes I get error -3231.
I've called Apple and they want $19 to solve the issue even though I paid the $25 for Match.
I've turned iTunes Match off. Turned Genius off. Logged out of my iTunes account. Quit iTunes. Restarted. Logged back into iTunes account. Turn Genius on. Turn iTunes Match back on and let it go through the process again with no success.
My library has a couple hundred songs less than the 25,000 max but it is pretty large. Had the same issue when I tried with a smaller library some time ago. I've created a new library and have the same issue.Hi,
You should consider rebooting your internet router
Then try holding option key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes and then reopen. Turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer.

What is a quick alternative to launching an enterprise DPS app if Apple Store rejects the App? We are under a major deadline and can't wait for Apple to approve. We want to host the app elsewhere. How do we host our DPS app on our client's website? Thanks.
Unless I misunderstand the question, you can't do what you're asking to do. Apple doesn't allow you to bypass their store and host public apps on a website. The exception is an enterprise app, which requires an Enterprise account with both Apple and Adobe. This type of enterprise app can be distributed only within the company. If that's what you want to do, you can learn more here:
Digital Publishing Suite Help | Creating viewer apps for private distribution
Distributing enterprise iOS viewer applications with Digital Publishing Suite | Adobe Developer Connection
Another option is to add the development app to several devices and use those for your demo. -
everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
any help appreciated.In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.
