Airplay files from device lag/stutter

Hello apple friends.
I got a apple tv. i use this brilliant app called air video HD wich works fine for streaming movies from PC to the apple tv. no lag and no stutter.
Also, mirroring games like modern combat 4 work without stutter. there is a delay in controls wich makes it unplayable, but no stutter.
...but here comes the problem. while air video HD can stream movies just fine(probaly by converting on-the-fly) it cannot play exactly desame file from my iphone 5s or ipad air to the third-gen apple tv. Well it actually can (tried VLC from app store) but there is alot stutter.
Its weird how everything else that i stream is without problems or stutter....but playing files locally(1080p, i want no less) results in annoying stutter.
How can i fix this? Is there a better player to use? Is on-the-fly converting and streaming consuming less data so i need faster connection?
i would like to add that the apple tv is wireless set up. no cable to router. only will do this cable to router if you really think this will solve the issue.
any additional info required?
Thanks!

You are using the most complicated and failure prone options. Streaming video over WifI rarely works well. In your case you are trying to do it twice concurrently. One WiFi connection to the device with streaming video and then a second wireless connection to AppleTV. On top of which AirPlay is horribly bug ridden and un-reliable.
Just select the content you want to watch from the ATV menus. It works very well and with none of the issues you get with AirPlay.
And to your last question yes you will have fewer issues if you use a wired connection for ATV.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

Creation of flash file from Device Central failing

Hi,
I'm currently trying to create a new flash document from Device Central and the application is throwing the following error:
Cannot create new document. The xfl template document is either missing or corrupted.
I am also unable to test my flash files in Device Central via Test Movie.
This function was working fine until a couple of days ago.
Has anyone had any similar issues? I am running Master Collection CS5.5 for Mac.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

For anyone who has this problem in the future, I have managed to get it working again by doing a complete reinstall of Master Collection.

I had bought wi-reader and can play video format like .mp4 directly from hard disk attached to wi-readerbut just wondering if I can play other video file from device like avi.

Pls advise

Well, in my opionion, you've moved things around so much, it would be better to just clear your current iTunes library and rebuild it.
IMPORTANT - I am talking about clearing the iTunes library file, not deleting song files from your hard drive.
I personally never use WAV files, because I like the tags that come with MP3. I'm a pleasure listener - I don't need WAV files for professional reasons.
When I first got iTunes, yeah, I took the default settings and ripped all my CDs in AAC format (they have .m4a file extensions). I regret this, in one way, because they won't work in other Windows applications & other portable devices. But, they sound great on my iPod and don't take up so much drive space as other formats.
edit: I've no idea what you're talking about with the GraceNotes vinyl lookup. AFAIK, you're going to have to re-rip the CDs in a non-WAV format to get the ID3 tags. But you can google to find more info on that.

Android kitkat issue in loading swf file from device. URL found but not working

Hi,
I am facing one issue from a very long time regarding file access in Android Kitkat version 4.4.*. I have developed Adobe Air player application for android and it is working as expected below kitkat version but not on kitkat.
I am following this methods -
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);
public function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void
                                    var newFile:String = String(event.arguments[0]);
                                    trace("Received new file from Android: "+newFile)
Received URL form device in Android Kitkat -
/storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Animation/27 031_1_Welcome screen.swf
file:////storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Anim ation/27031_1_Welcome screen.swf
                - Loading this URL using loader class in AS3 AIR but not working.
file%3A///storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Ani mation/27031_1_Welcome%20screen.swf
       - Have used also by doing escape character but still it is not working showing file not found both SWF and mp4 case. (Mp4 case NetStream.Play.FileNotFound)
By using the above methods I can have swf or mp4 video url but when I am loading it, It is not working giving error message "File not found/ IO Error". I have read that if use escape character then it will work but I have used escape character also but it is not working.
Humble request you to please advise how can I solve this issue.
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Starting in KitKat, Google requires that applications have permission to access files on the system. You must specifically add either the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions in order to access files. Adding either one of those permissions should let you read/access files on the device. Prior to KitKat, you didnt have to have these permissions listed in the manifest to access files.

Disable "always do this for Picture files from device name " checkbox

Bluetooth users should know well that as you send a file from your remote device to your laptop, there will be a notification on the lower right side of the screen. As you click the notification, it will show a popup window asking for your action.
Now my problem is I seemed to have ticked the checkbox stating "Always do this for Picture files from <my handphone>" while transferring pictures from my handphone to the laptop. I clicked save in folder: <directory>. Now, every time
I transfer pictures to my laptop through bluetooth, it becomes automatically saved into the <directory> and I regret it, I want it to let me choose where to save the file again like previously. How should I do that?

Hi,
Do we have a bluetooth manager in use?
If yes, check here:Enabling windows 7 to allow bluetooth file transfers without confirmation
Regarding receive files from bluetooth, Windows 7 will always provide the steps below:
Transfer Files via Bluetooth Between Phones & Windows 7 PCs
Please verify if we can do some changes on the phone side.

Mov files from Iphone lagging when attempting to edit in imovie.

Recently I imported a couple videos (mov files) from my iphone to edit them in imovie.. but for some reason they keep lagging. when I drag the mouse across the clip the playhead line doesnt even keep up... All videos I shot in the past have been edited just fine without lagging and they still don't when I checked them in my events.. So I have reason to believe its the file but they're all Mov files. If anyone has insight on these I will appreciate the help...Thank You.

Hi Tyler!
Of the options you list I would choose 'Raw DV'. iMovie is designed to handle a DV stream @ 13GB per hour, for editing and transfer to iDVD.
But ask the vendor to confirm that his 'Raw DV' is designed for transfer to iMovie 6 on an Apple Mac, and before he loads up the hard drive you are supplying make sure that it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Transfer files from device storage to Mac

This sounds like such a noob question, but I used to plug the BB to the laptop, I'd get a pwd promtp on the BB link and then I could go to the finder to pick selected files and happy I was
BUT that one stopped working, I added a SD card (which works very good as USB) but cannot access the device files no more, what a pain?? What do I have to do now??
I'm on 10.2.1.2156 , BTW when I upgraded to this version I made a backup but this version cannot read it ;-((( glad I kept the key files just incase
I tried:
- Removing the SD, rebooting the Mac , rebooting the BB(pulling the battery out) ,the BB link pops and connects to the BB but if I go to pics I can see them and there is a right click option(Copy to Desktop) that never work in the past and it still doesn't
- I tried the WiFi access I get to the point where it shows me select device/external media but they are grayed out
how lovely
What would be the next thing to try??? Sorry this is pretty frustrating I thought they have fixed basic things like this

I upgraded to BBLink 1.2.2(Build27) the song remains the same, still copying to Desktop doesn't do anything, am I the only one that needs just a couple of files??? it came with some "Blend.app" but that one didn't have anything I needed so I got rid of it.
Just rebooted both Mac&BB when I do the connect to server I'm presented with Media/RemovableMedia SD but the internal media is grayed and the SD is enabled when I don't even have an SD card, tried it anyway and after a while it complains it cannot do it. Have they tested this??? everything else works on the Mac I'm staying on Mavericks because some of my dev stuff doesn't seem right in Yosemite.
I'm keeping the failth with my Z10 but simple things like this not working makes me wonder.

Import files from device causing complete jam on opening Organiser

In files ready for import---- a blue rectangle with bottom right hand corner folded up appears..... waiting circle goes on forever with no result. Mouse is frozen for any action. I am running windows 8 and Elements 12. Thank you I really need help Images taken from my sony rx 100
I am refering to the opening of organiser and this is the immediate problem

Hi Krishna,
try to use:
    response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type'
                                value = 'application/vnd.ms-excel' ).
to set the correct content type for the file (example above Excel).
Also place the coding in the OnRequest Event and not on the Layout of the page with flow logic. As an alternative you can use a controller with a controller class. In there redefine the method do_request and place the coding for creating the response therein. The coding should look similar to:
* send back the file
    response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type'
                                value = ls_file-content_type ).
response->delete_header_field( 'Cache-Control' ).         "#EC NOTEXT
response->delete_header_field( 'Expires' ).               "#EC NOTEXT
response->delete_header_field( 'Pragma' ).                "#EC NOTEXT
CONCATENATE 'inline; filename="' ls_file-name INTO lv_string.
response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Disposition'
                              value = lv_string ).
response->set_data( ls_file-content ).
In the example above lv_string has type string and ls_file is a structure containing strings for name and content-type and an xstring for the file content.
I usually don't set the content length as I have enabled compression and then the icm calculates the content length for me after compression.
Hope that helps.

Backing up audio files from music production apps onto sd card

Hi,
I was considering buying a new 128gb iPad Air, however I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative for my concern, I want to back up my audio files from BM2 onto an usb card via a camera connection kit from an iPad 3 32gb, it would be great if I could also read from it, especially two things in one go, I could use an SD card to store my audio files, and read into BM2, and also free the usb connector for a keyboard. I plan to start performing live and have produced more than 450 tracks, but I want each set to be unique, with different parts of different tracks playing via BM2 also with live keyboard performances routing through Audiobus. I find that like the next level compared to Djaying already produced tracks, also if I progress I could also manage a few live sessions while performing, via Samplr by recording samples from what's playing in output or sessions on other music apps which might not be Audiobus compatible, like iMPC, please could you give us this option to move audio files from device to SD card or usb to transfer onto a computer to back up, in case internet is very weak, or would Apple not allow it? I mainly produce on Intua Beatmaker and have been producing since 2009, I have a sound cloud account www.soundcloud.com/a-submitter, and a website www.asubmitter.com. Please since my internet connection is really bad, as though NSA are tampering with it or Sky are curtailing it, I cannot move bulk folders or files which I highlight via Filezilla, and sometimes moving one file takes ages working as low as 90kbps, when I have a fibre optical internet line from Sky, and it is supposed to be 8mbs upload and 15mbs download, my computer is a mac mini 2012, the latest, but not the highest spec, but still the internet performs as though it's ten years ago.
Thanks
Kash

The camera connection kit can only be used to copy photos/videos to the iPad's Videos app. If you want to leave feedback for Apple (these are user-to-user forums) then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device.

I am getting this error message when I attempt to upload videos to my Mac from my Canon 7D:
Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device. Please be sure the device is properly plugged in and the battery is full charged.
Battery is full charged and camera is connected properly. I have restarted the camera, Bridge, and the computer as well. I tried reinstalling Bridge and it allowed me to upload 3 of the video files. Then the error message came back. There were a few RAW images on the camera that I was able to upload, but when I tried the video again I got the error message. I read a post about renaming the folder that you are saving to as a fix. I tried that as well, but it did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
        • Drains the camera battery
        • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
        • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
• runs the risk of wearing out the camera's connector,
• Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

If you delete files from your computer, BlackBerry Link deletes the file or collection from your device.
If you delete files from your device, BlackBerry Link doesn't delete the file or collection from your computer.
For information about how to delete a file from your device, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.

Hey hkfoolman,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Go into BlackBerry Link and click on the BlackBerry and then click on Options. Make sure you have Music, Pictures, Videos and Documents checkmarked for synchronization. Once these are checked, try to remove the files.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
Thanks for your help
Robert

You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

Transferring files from Multiple Devices to 1 ITunes Account

I have three Apple devices, an ITouch, an IPhone and an IPad and one ITunes account.
I'm trying to fill my Itunes library with all my files from each of my devices, the files differ so on one I have a tv series the other two don't have this, then I have albums I've imported from CD's on my IPad but they're not on my computer or other device as I have a new computer.
Is it possible to transfer all files from each device to my itunes ? If so how ? The only options I can seem to find is to update the Idevices from my Itunes and not the other way around ?

No problem, it is still much the same advice but you'll need to use third party tools to extract the data.
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for some options.
If there is a chance that you've got some overlap you might want to use my DeDuper script. See this thread for background.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)
