Apple trailer website
Hi guys,
When i view the movies trailers on the movies section of the apple main website, they look almost perfect quality. The compression used is excellent in getting very high quality and low file size. I have been informed they use the latest H264/avc apple codec to encode the movie files.
I have also been told that I can achieve the same quality as the apple trailers by using Quicktime Pro. So, I bought quicktim pro and have tried exporting media using the that same settings as the trailers online (I am getting the info on the data rate and file size from bringing up the info on the files from within quicktime)
Sadly the quality I get is good, but no where near as god as the ones apple put up online. I get slighty better results using Mac OSX than windows in saturation quality of output is more similar to the source file.
I wondered if anyone had any suggestions or suggested resourses or if anyone on these forums did this kind of media encoding professionally and had any suggestions.
Thanks

The control is the important piece. You could accomplish close to the same kind of thing with QuickTime Pro, maybe, if you spliced your video into sections and encoded each section with it's own parameters then brought all of that back into one movie.
The biggest problem your average home user is going to have is not having access to an uncompressed theatrical video to start with. Even the best looking DVD's are still compressed MPEG-2 and recompressing something that's already compressed always brings up issues that you wouldn't have if you were dealing with a series of high resolution .tiff files.
You're also right that the hardware solution doesn't do it better, just faster so that you don't have to wait a long time to see the results, tweak, then re-encode...especially for HD video (which it does real time).

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.
Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
I am from the Philippines.
Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
Thank you very much.
<Serial Number Edited by Host>You can find out how to get service for your iPad on this web page:

What happed to the iPad video tutorials on Apple's website?
I can't locate any of the extensive video tutorials on iPad (or for much else for that matter) on Apple's website - did they remove them or put them in some incredibly secret place? They used to have them for most all of their products -- now it seems they are only available for software products.

Quicktime Video for my website like it's on Apple's website
How do I manage to get a Quicktime video on my website with the following features?
The video should play without the old grey Quicktime window frame!
The controlbar should disappear, when the cursor is not in the video window.
Just like the videos on the Apple's website, for example:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/#videoYou have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

When I try to play videos on Apple's website, "missing plug-ins" appears. The same happens when I try to play Apple trailers. Other "users" on the same iMac don't have this problem.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your solution worked straight away. I've been battling with this for weeks'
Thank you again. :-)) -
Safari slow on Apple's website
Safari runs dismally slow on apple's website, which is why i'm posting this using Firefox. What's the deal Apple?
I don't think it's the browsers. I came to apples forums tonight to see if there was an answer to this. Haven't found anything yet.
I use Windows Vista Business, I previously used XP Pro and Home versions and any computer I use, it's slow. I mainly use Internet explorer 7, I even tried it with safari and it was still slow. It kinda locks everything up while the site is loading and won't let you do anything until it's done. It's really a pain compared to other sites. Even if you have multiple tabs open, you cannot go to another tab and browse while APPLE is loading. Come on Webmasters.... -
I only have audio for the videos on apple's website using Safari?
I can only hear the audio on apple's website to their videos. I have the newest quicktime update and I'm not sure why it won't play. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Try another browser. If that works, then you'll know for sure it's a Safari issue.

What generation is the iPod classic from Apple's website?
I am looking to purchase an iPod classic 160GB from Apple's website, and I would like to purchase a third-party casing from Amazon.
After browsing Amazon, I realised that the iPods were classified as 6G,7G or earlier generations and I am pretty confused because it is only stated as "iPod classic" on Apple's catalogue.Sixth.

if i buy a T-mobile's unlocked, contract-free iPhone 6 in US at Apple's website, can i use it in China with a local carrier?
The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US -
I recieved a $100 Mac App Store gift card with the Back to School promo, and I was wondering if I could use it on the Apple Store website to buy another product.
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The gift card is restricted to use in the Mac App Store and the iTunes Stores. It will not buy Apple hardware on the Apple Store website. -
Went to Apple Support website & changed my Apple ID and password successfully but when I went to my iPhone 5c to close Find My iPhone I was asked to give the password of the OLD Apple ID, which no longer exists. I went back to Manage My Apple ID and tried to use the new ID. I was told it was recorded as my backup ID. How do I get the ID to go across all apps.--to sync?
You need to do the following to delete the iCloud account from your device:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and EDIT your Apple ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT VERIFY it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2. Go to Settings>iCloud on your iPhone, and scroll to the bottom of the screen and Sign Out/Delete the iCloud account . Type in your current password when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the sign out/deletion.
Also, sign out the old Apple ID from Settings>iTunes & App Store, Settings>Messages, Settings>FaceTime
3. Go back to Manage your Apple ID, sign on with the old Apple ID and current password, and EDIT the Apple ID back to your new Apple ID (you may have to verify it again).
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new Apple ID
Sign onto any other apps with the new ID as needed
