Are WiFi hotspots compatible with Roku or Amazon Fire for streaming to HDTV?

These services state they require a wireless router connected to cable or DSL; is a wifi hotspot sufficient to allow connectivity?

Yes, they are compatible.  Your Roku or Amazon devices will be able to connect to them just like any other wireless router.
However, connecting to a streaming TV service on Verizons data plans is not advisable (assuming you are not a legacy unlimited customer).  It is way too easy to go over your data cap by watching HD TV content.  Traditional DSL or Cable service providers are much more appropriate for connecting with a streaming TV device due to their high or non-existent data caps.  Beyond that the wireless devices are prone to misc. disconnections resulting in an unpleasant viewing experience.  Cable and land line TV services are much better in this area too. 
If you can keep your data plan under control and are alright with the occasional glitch in service then go for it.  But don't say we didn't warn you.

  • Simple question: Are Creative Cloud apps currently or will be compatible with the new Amazon Fire phone?

    Simple question: Are Creative Cloud apps currently or will be compatible with the new Amazon Fire phone? My friend owns one and says since it's a fairly new operating system that nothing is compatible except the Amazon apps. Is this correct and does Adobe plan to support that OS in the future?

    If that uses the Android operating system, anything for Android works

    Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display please?

    That Display has DVI input. So if you have a 2009 iMac with MiniDisplay port output as your profile suggest's...?
    Then you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and maybe a DVI cable if one is not with the monitor.

    Keep in mind that I am using it with the newer models of that model. (Mine had an iPod nano compatible sticker on it and came with a remote). I would imagine that it works fine with the older model of that one as well.
    But yes, if you are talking about the iH5, it works :)

    I'm thinking about getting an i pod touch for my daughter. If I get the 4th generation i pod, is it compatible with the ios 7 updates for i phones as far as if she wants to imessage or face time with me?

    The 4G can not run IOS-7.  "6" is the highest that it can go.  You need the 5G for IOS-7.
    However, that won't affect her ability to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Where can I access a version 5 download? Version 6 is not yet compatible with an application I use for school.

    Is there a version 5 download available on the website? Version 6 is not yet compatible with an application I use for school.

    I think this link will work:
    ''moderator deleted a hyperlink to an unsupported version''
    I suggest, that while Mozilla is on a "rush to release updates faster than fixing bugs" kick, NO ONE should have "automatic updates" on. Go into "tools" and turn off that option, and NEVER agree to accept an update unless you know that things have been made compatible and that the bugs have been ironed out.
    It's also wrong of them to release NON-beta copies, automatically, which cause incompatibility, every few weeks. That should only happen every year or two.
    We need to ban together and quit installing their updates until they quit rushing them out too quickly.

  • Bose Sound Docks are no longer compatible with Apple iPhones or iPods?

    When plugging my iPhone 4S or 5, or my iPod 3rd Gen or 7th Gen into my Bose Sound Dock, I recieve a message that reads, "This iPhone/iPod is not compatible with this accessory" and will not play stored music.
    Background Info: 
         - The Bose Sound Dock was designed to support Apple products.
         - All software/OS on the Apple products is current as of Dec 2013.
         - The Bose product doesn't have update-able software associated with it.
         - Clearly, something has changed with the Apple products.
    What can be done to fix this so that iPhones and iPods will play again on Bose products?
    I've unplugged/replugged the Bose Sound Dock, and I've powered down and powered up the Apple products expecting that something would reset, but these steps have proved to be ineffective and nothing has changed.

    Ok, I was having the same issue which is why I came across this post (in search of an answer). I MAY have figured it out...I have an iPod, don't-remember-what generation, and it has always worked with my Bose sound dock portable speaker, approx 2-3 years. Anyway, a few months ago, the Bose stopped picking up that I "docked" my iPod onto it. A long while has gone by and we haven't done anything about it bc our speaker was out of warranty and didn't want to spend the $100 it costs to repair (thru Bose, don't know about other places $, but I've learned the hard way to stick to manufacturer for high-end brand device repair). Long story short, we really missed using our speaker outside and I decided to send it in instead of buying a new one (new one-year warranty comes with the repair, so I figured it was $100 cheaper than buying a new one). An added note, we tried putting my husbands iPhone 4S on the dock and it didn't read it, either; the Bose didn't charge either device, didn't acknowledge in anyway that a device was on the dock attachment piece. Back to present day... I got my speaker back from Bose, and I was so happy to try it out. I put my iPod on the attachment, and voila! It charged the iPod (so clearly it registered that a device was attached), but DID NOT PLAY MUSIC....Exact same message about incompatibility. So, when my husband got home, we tried his phone (this is last week, literally, and I was mad thinking it was the recent apple software update and that I just threw away $100). Guess what? His phone worked! Pandora, his music, you name it. When I called Bose and suggested it could be a software update issue? They replied it wasn't, that the sound dock works with the devices after update, but the piece was still bad, as it was not working correctly if it was not playing the iPod, regardless of the new update, and/or what generation it was. So my thoughts are that it is the attachment where you sit your device on the Bose that has gone faulty. I packaged up my speaker and it's going backs to Bose at their expense to repair. It stinks that I won't have it for Christmas to play music as we enjoy the outdoors, but at this point, I will just be content if they get it to work again!

    The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success.  Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Are CS3 files compatible with CS and CS2 apps?

    I am upgrading from CS to CS3 Mac. Are files created in CS3 compatible with CS Photoshop, DW 8, Flash 8, Illustrator and ID?
    And, will uninstalling CS app files effect the CS3 install? This assumes I save certain components I want to keep from each of the older apps.
    I have already installed CS3.3 successfully.

    Depends on the features you use. Choose maximize compatibility when saving.

    For the most part, they should be.

  • Are Compressor files compatible with DVD Studio Pro?

    I am buying Final Cut Pro X and Compressor, but I am working on a school project that needs to be finished in DVD Studio Pro. Would the compressed files be compatible with DVD Studio Pro even though FCP7 and FCPX are not compatible?

    Yes.  Compressor 4 (or any version) will create the DVD-compliant files that are used in DVDSP.

  • Are .dng files compatible with iPhoto?

    I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix dmg G2 camera. I have iPhoto '09 on my iMac, running OS 10.6.8. I was unable to load the RAW images from this camera to iPhoto, so I converted them to .dng files. I even downloaded the latest version of the dng Converter, but I am still unable to download them to iPhoto. I get the following error message:
    "Unreadable Files: 1
    The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
    I am pretty sure I was able to download .dng files in the past. Has something changed, or are .dng files just not compatible with iPhoto?
    JB

    Not all dng-files are alike. I have used dng with iPhoto before, without problems. I could not find any documentation for dng in iPhoto, but for Aperture it is documented that dng works for  "DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the 'Convert to Linear Image' option turned off". Probably the same will hold for iPhoto.

    Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

    The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.
