Apple TV 2 - Can it display closed captions for the hearing impaired?

I have not seen a direct answer to this question anywhere, even on the web. If I buy a movie/TV show DVD, I get closed captions. If I rent or buy from iTunes or some other source, does this mean there are no closed captions to display, or does it mean that Apple TV 2 cannot display the closed captions? It is especially helpful with British shows. We use closed captions all the time for everything else. If it cannot be displayed, Apple TV 2 is largely useless for us. Note: many Boomers (we with the money to spend, not the 15 year olds!) have damaged hearing- they should be included in marketing.

The easiest way to find videos with closed captioning is to select Column Browser->Show Column Browser from the View menu in iTunes. Select a category and then look for titles displaying the CC icon. You can then rent them in iTunes or find them in the Menu in the ATV and rent them there.

  • HT5731 How can I choose an option to buy movies with captions for the hearing impaired?

    Captions for the hearing impaired. Are they available when buying from iTunes ?

    They are available, but it's the film studio that has to include them on a particular film.
    Those that have closed captioning on them have CC against them on their description pages in the store e.g.
    Whether a film has subtitles available on it should also be listed on its descrition page e.g. (from a different film to the above CC film) :

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will put itself to sleep. I'm not sure what you needed to log into again, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a little more detail about what happens.

  • How can i display units only for the result set

    hi
    i do not want to display units (example: $ or %) for my key figure columns but i want to display units to the result.
    how can i do that

    Hi Surya,
    I don't think it is possible to have both non-unit and unit in the same kf.
    One potential workaround to do this is to create a calculated key figure/ formula that use the NODIM function for single values. Example: NODIM(0AMOUNT). Then, create a calculated key figure/formula that computes overall result on the same kf and supresses individual values but does not use NODIM....perhaps this can help you work out a solution.
    Hope this helps.

  • What's the maximum number of Apple TVs that can be displayed in the AirPlay list?

    We have 50 conference rooms all on the same network and are considering equiping each one with an Apple TV for AirPlay Mirroring our iPad 2s to the rooms projector, or TV. What is the maximum number of Apple TVs that can be displayed in the AirPlay menu to select the correct Apple TV for the conference room being used?

    From what you're saying it sounds as though you wouldn't want to Airplay to all AppleTVs at once, just identify them when that specific room in use?
    This is one of those uncharted territories wheer most domestic users will not require such a set up - Apple provide no official info about this, but they'd be your best source to ask.

  • Where can i find closed captioning guidelines for formatting and styling for EBU-STL that suit iTunes USA ?

    I am trying developing closed captions for my film that is to be submitted within iTunes USA.
    I can't seem to find any current styling and formatting guidelines for these closed captions. I understand that they are meant to be EBU-STL...
    Does anyone know where these can be found?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Display Closed Captions: Video (.avi) + Subtitles (.srt)

    Hello.
    I am trying and failing to play a video with soft subtitles. Is there a way to do this without using software to hard-code/embed the subtitles onto the Video.avi file?
    - My 'videos' folder contains two files with the same name but different extensions (Video.avi and Video.srt)
    - In the video playback options I have checked the 'Display Closed Captions' box.
    Thanks.

    Hi.  What we do is resize the project as one of the last steps in the development process.  We resize the height only, adding about 45 pixels.  We position the existing project at the top, thus adding about 45 pixels at the bottom as a "footer".  This footer then contains the playbar and also leaves enough room for two lines of closed captioning.  Of course we have to take this extra space into consideration when we do our original screen captures.  We capture at 1005 x 605, then resize twice --- the first time to add 25 pixels to the top for a header, then the second time to add 45 pixels to the bottom for a footer.  Each time we keep the original project the same size and fill the background with color, so the actual screen captures do not get rescaled.  The end result is a published project that is 1005 x 675.
    The other alternative is to position the application you are capturing on a blank desktop background and capture the application window and some of the extra blank desktop background below the window.  But this method prevents you from using the "snap to fit" option when capturing an application.
    I hope this makes sense.

  • How do you export a working closed caption for Premiere Pro CC 2014 in .mpg format?

    We do weekly 1/2 hour programs that require closed captioning for air. I need to know how to export a self contained .mpg format without using MacCaption. If not possible, is there another, less expensive, 3rd party program that I can use? Or better yet, is Adobe going to create one for us?

  • Closed Captioning for Movies in Itunes

    Hello,
    I was testing a movie in iTunes and wasn't able to get closed captioning. Is there a way that I could do this? Not only that, it mentioned that the movies can be watched in other formats. How do I accomplish this because Quicktime supports closed captioning feature..
    Many thanks!
    MNS

    Thanks Although, how do I know which movie is closed captioned? I couldn't find the CC symbol on them...perhaps there are not many movies out there are closed captioned on the internet yet...

    No. Target Display mode only works with other Macs. In the past there were an adapter to connect a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 to a 27-inch iMac, but it no longer works with Thunderbolt iMacs like your computer.

  • Closed Captioning for MobilePlaybar

    Hi,
    Working in Cap 6.  Is there any way to include closed captioning on the default mobile playbar???  I've spent two days working with various playbars (AS3 and AS2) in Flash but getting one thing to work breaks something else.
    Did Adobe, in their wildest dreams think that maybe, just maybe, someone might want to provide CC on the mobile playbar?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is something I can't help you with, and is a bit outside the usual subject matter of this forum. A quick look in the Search result suggests that you may get answers in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • How can i display a portlet in the Edit view only ?

    Dear All,
    I'm developing a portal in which the end user can change the content of the portal page (personalize) using Edit smart link and i ask How can i display a portlet in the Edit view only ? not shown in the production view ?

    Last time I heard with Oracle they said the only way is to look at the current URL. If it contais _mode=16 then we are in edit mode.
    This is a function I use:
    FUNCTION inEditMode return boolean is
    bEdit boolean := false;
    begin
    if PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_mode', 'qaz') = '16' then
    bEdit := true;
    end if;
    return bEdit;
    end inEditMode;
    Kind regards

  • I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.
