Apple Videos on Apple TV
Hello, just wondering, why is there no way to view Apple videos on Apple TV? Like the product guides and Keynotes, etc. You'd think they would be great for showing what Apple TV can do... Or am I missing something?
most of the product guides are not of a high enough resolution to look good enough on the appletv in my opinion.
i downloaded the 2008 keynote podcast and it's not that great in some places. the file is 800mb.
but yet, you can manually downloaded the videos if you wanted and then put them into itunes and sync.

Apple Video Adapter Blew my Inverter and HELP?
I had purchased a few television shows from itunes and wished to watch them on my television. I went to the Apple store today and purchased an Apple Video adapter for Mini-VGA to Video Out M9109G/A. I asked if it was the correct adapter and everyone I asked stated it was. I came home, unplugged my PS2 from my video in on my television, plugged the adapter into my iMac. The video resolution adjusted to something like 800 stretched I took the SAME rca cable used for my PS2 and plugged it into the adapter. A popping noise occured and my screen went black.
Zapped Pram, Started from Install CD 1, Took back off, plugged in adapter, pressed start button and noted that LED 3 was lit. Following the troubleshooting instructions I ordered the replacement inverter.
Now my problems/questions are this
1) Why did this happen? I've plugged all kinds of things into that port on the television without question. Should I never use the monitor out w/ the Apple Adapter?
2) I don't have a backup of my data from friday, saturday, or sunday. I attempted to boot the (screen dead) imac via target mode through my pismo in order to clone the drive out, but it wouldn't appear. Is this normal w/ a 'defective inverter'. Is there any way to get my data? I have another identical model, and I know I CAN exchange the drives (leaving the sensor and the case plugged in so as to avoid any cable problems), but is this a bad idea?
Thanks for any advice on this.
BTW, all components line conditioned w/ UPS.
Well..Apple Palo Alto fixed my machine in one day. I'm very impressed. Unfortunately, I couldn't de-authorize my machine (ITMS) prior to the midplane replacement so now iTunes isn't working since it thinks it is authorized or something. I'm trying here, but any suggestions would be good.
In summary. A) Good people at Apple told me to switch drives to my other imac to backup and this worked fine. B) Repair was completely quickly and machine works.
C) If you have this situation with authorization: 1) Open terminal, type cd /users/shared then type mv "SC Info" "old_SC Info". 2) Create a new user (I did w/ admin). 3) login to the new user account, launch itunes and try to deauthorize (you should get a message you aren't authorized) so buy a free song and authorize. Login to your original user and try itunes (shoudl work) delete the newer user and you can remove "old_SC Info" or keep it if you so choose.
Hope my rambling is helpful to someone.On Mac Pro I use my second video out to connect a standard crt vga monitor. When I have it plugged in when I boot, the computer hangs with the blue screen everyone else has, never showing the mac os x loading screen. If I have it unplugged when I boot, everything starts fine but when I plug the vga monitor back in, it does not find the monitor after clicking detect displays. This was all working fine before 10.5, so it has to be an issue with the os communicating with my video card.
I assume this all stems from the same issues you are having. There is a glitch in either the video driver or the new core for video that they have not fixed yet.
I may eventually call on this, but right now, I dont have 2 hours to waste speaking to someone in the Philippines that is reading a script. -
I downloaded a video course from iTunes U to my iMac. How do I transfer the video to Apple TV to watch on my big screen TV?
I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

Video out after using Apple Video adapter.
Hi, I have an Mac G5 17" iSight and after I mirror'd my screen to my TV using an Apple video adapter (something I've done hundreds of times before) the computer screen wouldn't change back to the general screen resolution (also something it used to do before). After restarting my computer in an atempt to fix the problem the video was all black (nothing at all, i.e no faint glow) but the computer started up correctly and I could interact with it and control it thru remote access from another mac.
Restarting the PRAM did'nt change anything.
But then after reseting the SMU the computer got worse! Now it just powers up and after som or se time the fans start working real hard but nothing else happens. I don't want to keep them running for more than half a minute because I'm afraid the logic board will burn up if it hasn't already.
What could have happend? Is it fixable?
Please help....I answered my own question (this is my post after finding the answer in another thread). Hope this helps someone.
Woohoo! Thanks for the post- I have a 5G with the Apple A/V cable, but I couldn't get the video to work, just the audio on the tv. I didn't have "TV Output" selected "On." Now I don't have to return the product. Man, this 5G is amazing. -
Apple Video Adapter Not Working
Hi all,
I have completed an update of 10.4.10 to 10.5 on my MacBook C2D without problems.
I just connected my Apple Video Adapter to try out Front Row, and nothing appears on the TV! The icon appears in Displays preference pane, but nothing appears on the TV. I can change the resolution and PAL/NTSC but the TV stays blue. Was working perfectly yesterday.
Can anyone else try this?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?
How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks
MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though. -
Can no longer view videos on Apple web site
I'd like to watch the new iPad videos on Apple's web site but my iMac no longer loads them. I can view You Tube videos, movies, Quicktime etc. But on the Apple web site the video never loads. Any ideas why this might be? OSX 10.7.3 3.06 GHz Core Duo, 4G RAM.
The following only applies to those running Tiger or Leopard:
If you are experiencing trouble viewing QuickTime movies with QuickTime Player or the QuickTime browser-plug-in follow the steps in the link below to ensure that QuickTime is properly installed on your Mac
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
If you having problems watching WWDC Keynotes, tutorials or Trailers on the Apple website, check your Quicktime Player 7 settings in System Preferences:
Under Streaming, set for Automatic, enable Instant On and Play Immediately.
Under Advanced, click Mime Settings and ensure that Streaming (both kinds) are enabled.
Note that if you are running Snow Leopard you should be using Quicktime Player 7 and not Quicktime 10. Snow Leopard does not have a QuickTime System Preference pane. No MIME Settings options. No streaming settings. If a User has migrated from 10.5.8 then those settings have moved over (but no changes can be made). QuickTime Player 7 is in your Applications/Utilities folder (if you've got it installed). If not you can install it from the Snow Leopard DVD (Optional Installs). -
My new MacBook Retina cannot play any videos on any browser. This includes the Apple videos. It keeps saying Missing Plug-In. I am not sure what I am supposed to do. Can someone please help me out?
My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out. -
When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact the developer of the Air Video app. -
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. :-)) -
if i buy an apple video adapter to use a tv as a display will I be able to have the ibook closed and still view it onthe tv?
No. Closing the iBook puts it to sleep.
You can, however, almost close it, leaving it open just enough to keep the sleep switch from activating.
Heat is dissipated through the keyboard, so you should never run it while it is closed (if a malfunction should allow it to run that way).

Apple Video Player stops working
I have a Performa 6500/225 running OS 9.1. I also have a (vintage) Apple Video Conference webcam. Along with that I have an original Apple external hard drive. I have the Apple Video Player software on the internal hard drive. For some reason it seems to conflict with a CAD program I have on the external hard drive.
I have tried the clean install as was recommended previously. The AVP will work until I retweak everything. If AVP is working properly then my CAD program doesn't.This is strange because the AVP parts are not on the external drive and the CAD parts are not on the internal drive. Doing a clean install doesn't seem to be the answer. Does anyone know of a way to work around this or perhaps another older driver I might be able to use with my Apple Video Conference cam?
Performa 6500/225 Mac OS 9.1.xI missed the earlier discussion but this may be an extension conflict. Apple Video Player comes, I believe, with an extension that is present in your System folder. That extension will always load to some extent when you start your computer, even if you aren't actually running the application. So AVP is always running to a small degree even if the full application isn't. The CAD program may have its own extensions that may also be conflicting with AVP.
If it is an extension conflict then you may have to deal with it by using extensions manager to build two different sets of extensions for when you want to use the different programs and restart in between(yeah, a pain). Alternatively you can sometimes get around these conflicts by renaming you culprit extensions so they load in a different order (for example, by putting putting a "z" in front of one name, though that's usually to address conflicts that causes freezes at startup.
Normally it doesn't matter where you keep applications in terms of drives - that doesn't cause conflicts or resolve them. It's when they are running, or they have extensions that start when you boot your computer that causes the problem.
One other thing you could try would be to upgrade your computer OS to 9.2.2. Maybe things would run more cleanly under the newer OS. The upgrades from 9.1 would be free so there's no harm in trying. -
