Apple cripples New User Training Videos

The Apple training videos do not play, or load for new users with Satellite access. This countries largest companies continue to disadvantage those areas without Cable or DSL access. Go ahead and purchase One and One you will not get video with Apples SL install on new computers.

hiya
i am new to ipod and itunes.
YAY! Welcome!
i have no problem with music and i have managed to
get some videos to play in itunes. they will not
upload onto my ipod.
This should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
does anyone know where i can find a sample video,
anything people know will work so i can find out if
it is a problem with my computer/ipod/they way im
doing it or the video i am trying to load?
See above link.
does anyone know if apple/itunes have a converer to
download to change videos to ipod format?
Yup. If it's in iTunes, right click on the video and select "Convert for iPod use"
does anyone know how i can get videos of a music
video dvd onto itunes? and then onto my ipod.
Yes, that will take specialized software, though. If you search for iPod video converter on Google, a lot will come up. I use and love the one I purchased. I consider it a great investment...
thanks
sorry if this all seems abit school boy, i am not
very good with computers or computer gargon. thanks
No worries. If you'd like more info, you may want to do a search of these forums. Lots of good info to be found. I'll bet more info than you could read in a day.

IMac stuck in new user registration video

Hello, I have an iMac Flat Panel 1Ghz I got off ebay. I don't know the admin username and password and performed the apple recommended startup in Single User using Control-s on startup. This worked fine as I now have reset this iMac to startup on the original Apple registration video. I fill in the new user registration info but it gets stuck or freezes up after I select this computer does not connect to the internet. Is there anything I can do before I buy a new hard drive? Any help is appreciated. I don't have the original system install disks and it has system Tiger 10.4 and it won't boot up from an install disk, it goes directly into the new registration video and gets stuck. Help!!

This information does not apply to accounts that have filevault. I do not believe that you can change the password to a filevault account with in these methods.
Overview on how to fix password problems
Try running repair permissions and check for file integrity in disk utility. You do this from your startup disk. Try resetting the password by using the passswd or try deleting the .applesetupdone file. If this doesn't work, you are going to have to trash the netinfo database. Once you get logged on, you will need to re-access your data.
Disk Utility
This article deals with disk recovery, it will tell you how to get to disk utility.

Change Password
Mac OS X:
Changing or resetting an account password via GUI:
Resetting a user's password
Resetting the original administrator account password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
You do not have a CD/DVD
Changing password from single user mode:
You can also change the administrator's password from single user mode or create a new administrator account.
You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
1) You can change the password on an account. ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. ) The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen. For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
# Start up some utility processes that are needed.
sh /etc/rc
# You will probably need to press the return key once the system stops typing.
# To find out the users on the system type, use the list command. The l is a lower case L:
ls /Users
# One of these accounts will be the administrator.
# Pick one of the users which I'll call a-user-name and type it in this command:
passwd a-user-name
# and enter the new user password. You need six characters.
# You will need to enter your password twice. Your typing will not show up on the screen just
# press enter when you complete the typing.
# For cryptic information on these commands try:
man ls
man passwd
The root account isn't enabled by default. I am not sure if changing the password on root will enable it.
2) Get the Mac to set up an additional administrative account. You can then change the password on your old account.
Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
Type in the following:
The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write. Press return after each command.
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db
pwd
#List all files. The l is a lower case L.
ls -a
#The move command acts as a rename command in this format.
mv -i .applesetupdone .applesetupdone.old
reboot
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!
Limnos adds detailed explainations:

The above the idea came from a post by JoseAranda at September 9, 2006 3:48 AM
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howdo_i_reset_my_mac_os_x_admin_rootpassword.html
You will need to scroll down to see this post. Search for applesetupdone
Or see:

Once you have a new administrative account, you can change the password of your old administrative account
blue apple > System Preferences > Accounts
• You can see that it is easy to change your administrator password. You can set a firmware password that you enter before your machine will boot.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
• For the best data security, you should use FileVault. Create a good logon password. Define and use a good backup plan. I do not recommend using FileVault unless you really need the security because it is much harder to recover your data should you have a hard drive problem and you do not have your data backed up.

What are the URLs for Apple's Snow Leopard training video's?

Hi,
Anyone know the URLs for Apples instructional vieos for new Mac/Snowleopard users switching from Windoze?
My 86 year old Mom just got the Mini I ordered for her and she is a bit confused...

Can you take her to an Apple Store instead/first for their 'Switchers' classes...that would be far better, and it would give you both a chance to be closer to a resource you can enjoy over time.
That said, one source for related videos is here:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/
Search on 'switchers' across the Apple corporate site otherwise, including iTunes. You might want to pay particular attention to anything dealing with 'Universal Access' as well.

New user; no video from my end of call (modern Win...

A friend and I both attempted an inaugural Skype call last night. I could see and hear her; she could hear but not see me. There was a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
I'm running Windows Pro 8.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 with an integrated webcam. Skype came preinstalled on my laptop.
After reading some troublehooting suggestions on this site, I uninstalled Skype (online version?) by removing the tile. (Skype did not show up as a program under Control Panel so I could not uninstall it like I'm used to removing programs.)
Then I downloaded the special version of Skype. It did not work (can't recall the details).
From Firefox, I installed the desktop version, went into Tools, Options, General, Video Settings. Again, a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
When I go into the Windows Device Manager, Imaging device, Integrated Camera, General tab, it shows the message, "This device is working properly."
Today I uninstalled the Skype desktop, reinstalled Skype for Windows 8 (again, this appears to be an online version not a desktop version), activated the charms along the right border of my screen, clicked Settings (gear icon), Options, Video, Camera, Integrated Camera . . . that same white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box is present.
I suspect there is some simple setting that I need to change to make my video show up on the screens of people whom I Skype. I just don't know what it is.
Any more suggestions? I've followed the suggestions for downloading new drivers, I've restarted my laptop, I've tried some of the other suggestions I found on a list.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I found the answer on the Lenovo Support app, Knowledge Base. I've copied the 10/23/2013 answer and pasted it below:
Some customers have reported that the front camera of Helix is not longer active following an application update, and most recently after updating to Windows 8.1
This grey picture with the Crossed Camera is the privacy mode of the "Lenovo Settings App".
You have to deactivate it in the Settings App under the "Camera" tab.
AnswerSome updates may toggle the front camera to privacy mode. To check this, open the Lenovo settings app on your desktop, and then click the camera settings
LearningCurve comment: I followed these instructions, the Crossed Camera icon is now gone, and there I am on video, live. When my friend gets home and is available to answer my Skype video call, that will be the true test.

New training videos on YouTube

There is an official YouTube app for the iPhone on the App store. The 3rd Party YouTube app for the iPad seems to work well in a general sense, but then again might not be suitable for your specific needs. Worked well for general search and viewing of videos.

Learning Shake. Video tutorial advice from a new user...

I am brand new to Shake and compositing. I've used Final Cut Pro for a few years and done simple compositing after doing FCP tutorials. Shake is tougher to learn thank FCP, so I've purchased some videos from Gnomon workshop and cmiVFX. I wouldn't consider this a formal review, but some beginning advice for newbies like me...
1. First, do the tutorials in the manual that come with Shake. They start off simple, and one could probably learn almost everything you need for general use of Shake (from a newbie, don't forget).
2. This excellent book... Apple Pro Training Series : Shake 4 (2nd Edition) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321256093/103-0705051-1275827?colid=1T8L28XGM0 5IS&coliid=I3MUD718LP9EP9&n=283155) will get you started as well. It comes with a DVD full of material to work with as well. Good money invested here.
When you're ready to start spending more money....
3. cmiVFX.com has a number of free tutorials http://www.cmivfx.com/tutorials.asp, some of them for Shake, some for other compositing programs. Check them out for inspiration and for technique examples. I purchased the Shake Training Series 1 Kit (http://www.cmivfx.com/productshakekit.asp) which was quite good. They lead you through a series of examples, showing how some of the major functions operate and how to start working with all those nodes. I had previously purchased Combustion 4, and cmiVFX's video for Sky Replacement for combustion was excellent. They also make one for Shake, and I wish I would have purchase that one instead, although I've never seen it. The downside on this video series is that it runs as a regular DVD, and you need DVD Player, or a typical DVD player to view them. So, these are low-res videos (TV resolution), and not Quicktime files on disc.
4. The Gnomon Workshop (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/index.html) has some excellent video tutorials. They're pretty technical, and not a good place to start unless you've got a background in visual effects or other compositing software. I think they're great, but I think the new user of Shake/compositing software should work on numbers 1-3 above. Don't get me wrong, this is a great resource, which would be in keeping with the image Gnomon Workshop gives of being an in-depth resource for serious computer graphics artists. I suspect the level of teaching in these videos would satisfy the higher level and more advanced users. These videos are Quicktime format, high resolution and very well done. Visual Effects Compositing Fundamentals (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/gja01.html) is US$49 for 4 hours of instruction. Great value for money. I've also found Shake: Color Correction and Layers US$59 (3 hours) (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mli02.html) very good, as was Shake: Effective Keying Techniques US$59 (3 hours) (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mli03.html).
Personally, I'd like to see some more video tutorials of some experienced users showing how they get things done. Maybe now's the time???

they are working on them but they are a little on the busy side at the moment.

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? Iwas told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.

No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

New user of Final Cut Express - recommendation for book, resource, training

I am a new user of Final Cut Express 4. Actually, I'm a new user of Mac too. I mastered Pinnacle on my PC but got fed up with the glitches, freezing etc.
Could use some advice on a good BEGINNER resource.
Anyone???

Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since FCE has a relatively steep learning curve, I would recommend getting one of two training books:
1. [Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop|http://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Express-Editing-Workshop/dp/0240810775 /ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240436986&sr=8-2] by Tom Wolsky. This is how I learned the program and I can assure you that it is a comprehensive guide with everything from basic to more advanced techniques. I highly recommend it. Tom is a frequent contributor to this forum, so if you had any questions about a lesson then he'd be here to help you out.
2. [Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4|http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Final-Express/dp/0321534670/ref=sr14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240437118&sr=8-4] by Diana Weynand. Though I can't vouch for it personally, I have heard from many people who were pleased with their experience learning from this book, and I'm sure it is quite good also.
There are also several good sites I've visited with free tutorials that you might like to check out:

IE10 Windows7 - iTunes opens maybe 3 times and then it thinks i am a new user. I ge the license agreement again. Apple SR Techs cannot figure it out. Does this have to do with IE10?

Windows 7 - installed IE10. Now every few times iTunes is opened I get the 'user license' agreement as if i am a new user. Apple SR techs have been working with me for weeks and have NOT solved this problem. i have a iPhone 4S, but this happens before I even plug in. Can you help? Also, second question:
Also, I have two apple accounts (mistake) and apple says that they cannot delete the invalid one! When I finally can get on iTunes it asks if I want to merge or replace - I am told to do neither (i am syncing by plugging in the 4S to my computer - i have Outlook). SO... right now i am unable to sync. SR Tech says having the 2 accounts is not the problem - actually - 2 techs said it was and 1 says it is not. SO frustrating! Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks - CJ Texas

McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
Not so sure about the suplemental question, but see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for tips to make sure you don't lose content from the device.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

Why is it that each time I upgrade my iPad, half of my apps won't work properly but worst of all my email won't send after the latest "patch" today, wake up Apple I am a new user and getting sick of this problems

WHy is it that each time I get an upgrade some of my Apps won't work when they did with the previous version. I have just upgraded to v7.01 and now I cannot send email, wake up Apple and get it right as I am a new user of Apple technology and not impressed.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
