Buying videio to look at on computer rather than iPod?

Can you buy a video or a subscription which you would just use on your computer?
Also, is it possible to buy a subscription for someone else to use on their computer (not me)?
Thanks.

Yes, any video you purchase from the iTunes Music Store can be viewed on your computer. And yes, you can gift a season to someone else, as long as they're in the US (which is the only country for which Apple's been granted resale rights for most if not all TV shows as of yet).

Setting the home page to be computer, rather than user specific

I run a computer lab and would like to set the home page to be computer, rather than user specific. Is this possible ?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values for all users.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "<your preferred home page>");

I have ordered the rMBP and will giving my old MBP (2010) to my girlfriend what is the best way to remove the programs and files that she wont use and make it her computer rather than my old one?

I have no real need to upgrade but as a student the price it would be silly not to.
I will be giving my MBP to my girlfriend but she wont use a lot of the software on there such as the final cut and CS5 and would rather use the space for her own iTunes library. Some will be kept on though like the old office suite as i have bought the 2011 one as well
Can I also remove myself as a user on the macbook so the only login is hers? I would rather it was her computer rather than my old one!
Cheers in advance!

Hey, man, I'd be excited, too!
She'll have whichever operating system that came with your computer. Your updates are tied to your Apple ID so if you've purchased updated OS X versions, she'll want to reinstall them using her own Apple ID (yes, it will cost her something but not much).
Kappy's a know-it-all (and I mean that in the politest of terms) who's a frequent poster here. He has a 'canned' script about how to get your computer ready for resale. I guess he just doesn't have enough points yet to make it an User Tip, but it's a great little rundown of what to do.
BEFORE you erase everything, I would purchase (if you don't already have one) an external USB hard drive and use Time Machine to backup everything. When you startup your new computer (or afterwards if you just can't wait to see the clean, crisp text in TextEdit) you can use Time Machine to properly migrate all your files, apps and all, onto your new MBPR. If you're not familiar with Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html. Oh, yeah, since you have Office 2011, you'll need your activation code handy as, for some reason, the activation code does not carry over when you use the Time Machine restore. All Adobe, etc., apps are fine. It's just that damned MS Office that gets you.
Hopefully Kappy will jump in here. If not just post a message "Kappy: Preparing MBP for resell?" or something to that effect and I'm sure that he'll see it.
Good luck,
Clinton

How can I get synched audio through the computer rather than camera in FCE?

There does not seem to be an easy way to listen to FCE audio through the computer's setup for internal or external speakers. I have for years used Detour to route all of my audio through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface, and then on to my home stereo system. I then route all systems sounds and sounds in apps like iMail through the internal speaker. This works great. Except with Final Cut Express. For quite a while I could not do anything except play through a firewire connected to an attached Sony PC100 digital video camera, plugging headphones into it's jack.
After many hours and reading many strings on this and other discussion boards, and even reading the product manual, I tried sending FCE through the computer speaker and sure enough it works. By that reasoning, I had Sound Prefs send all audio through the m-Audio setup and that works. Except now I must listen to all of the system sounds that way as well.
OK, I could live with that for my editing sessions, except that now I am experiencing a sound synch delay of around one second. It's all fine when I switch back to the camera as the monitor, but not when routed through, what should be the better sound setup, having the comouter send the soud via the m-audio and stereo.
G5 dual 2Mgz Mac OS X (10.4.5) m-audio firewire 410; 1.5G DDR SRAM;

In final cut, you want the audio to be following the same path as the video - otherwise, as you have experienced, there are processing delays.
If you are sending your video out firewire to an external monitor, the audio should follow. Take the audio off of the A/DV converter and route it to your speakers (or amp & speakers) from there.
good luck.

JAXB looking for tag type rather than tag name?

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use JAXB to load an xml file, [http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml|http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml] . The schema is at [http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd|http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd] . I generate my classes using xjc with no problems. My unmarshalling code is simple enough:
try {
    JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {UnimodT.class});
    Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
    return (UnimodT) um.unmarshal(is);
} catch (JAXBException ex) {
}At first I got an exception saying that unimod (the top-level tag) is unexpected and that the expected element is (none). I solved this by adding the @XmlRootElement tag into my UnimodT class. Now I am getting a javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException :
"unexpected element (uri:"http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2", local:"unimod"). Expected elements are <{http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2}unimodT>"
I am guessing this means that it is looking for a <unimodT> tag while the actual tag name is <unimod>.
This is how the xml file starts:
<umod:unimod xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2 http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd" majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
    <umod:elements>
          ....and here is the fragment from the xml schema defining the root element:
     <xs:element name="unimod" type="umod:unimod_t">Other guesses I am having are:
1) Maybe I should do something with the namespace, "umod"?
2) The underscore in the type name is confusing xjc?
Please help if you can. I am guessing it is something simple but I have no idea what.

I seem to have solved my problem by adding the namespace and name of the tag on the XmlRootElement annotation:
@XmlRootElement(name="unimod",namespace="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2")however I still don't understand
1) why it's not enough to specify the name of the tag in the @XmlType annotation
2) why the @XmlRootElement tag was not specified automatically
I guess I should just be happy that it works now.

Today's update seems to have modified the interface for the search engine bar to icons rather than a list. Is there any way I can change it back?

I know everyone says they "hate" changes to familiar interfaces at first before growing accustomed to them, but I just personally don't care for the icon-tray look in anything I use (it seems to defeat at least some of the point of using Internet on an actual computer rather than on a mobile phone). I also sort of have a lot of search engines up there, not all of which I can immediately recognize by icon. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but having to scroll over an icon to see the name of its associated search engine is pretty annoying after being used to having a nice list that just told you all of their names. Any way that I can change it back to the old list-interface?

Thank you, much appreciated!

G5 shutting down rather than sleeping

Hi,
In the past few days my iMac G5 (approx. three years old) has been shutting itself down rather than going into sleep mode. I know it is not an issue of sleeping and not reviving because the power pulse light is not on. No problems in normal operation (i.e. does not shut down suddenly or unexpectedly during use).
I haven't done anything out of the ordinary or added any software recently. I did have to unplug the computer rather than shutting down properly over the weekend when it froze and wouldn't respond to command/option/escape while I was finishing a backup of iTunes (manual backup, last disc out of 13).
We normally let the computer sleep rather than shut it down--I downloaded & ran iJanitor last night on the rec of some other past discussions on similar topics but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.

I am having the exact same issue that BSeque described initially. For me, the shutdown only happens after I send the iMac to sleep - for example, it will shut itself off overnight. It never occurs if I am actively using any applications.
It also seems to be taking a long time when "finding local drives" on startup which it never did previously (about two minutes of just that message on the screen during startup). My wife has reported a loud noise upon startup on several recent occasions, and I have also had to pull and replace the power cord several times recently when the normal power up procedure wouldnt work.
I am also in the number range for the repair extension, but am interested in knowing if there are any steps to take before I bring it to the Apple Store.
After reading a suggestion on another post, I pulled some of the system logs. Here is a sample sequence for one of the time periods when shutdown occurred involuntarily:
Sep 14 20:44:17 localhost pppd[261]: Connection terminated.
Sep 14 20:44:17 localhost pppd[261]: Connect time 184.3 minutes.

Hi, I was trying add a second computer on iTunes Match.
I was signed into iTunes on both machines with a single ID which already has iTunes Match from the primary machine. When I selected iTunes match on the second, it asked me to subscribe to it again rather than add.
To try to fix this, I signed out of the primary machine and so i was only in the second computer. This didnt work and when i tried to log back into Match on the primary machine it has the same problem now, asking me to buy iTunes Match when I already have it!
Now I've got it on neither machine- can someone please help!!
Cheers,

Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped and this computer's library will be matched instead.
Hi,
You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

My itunes seems to be looking for my library on my computer C drive, rather than my external drive ( originally set up to as default ). How do I re-set itunes to look for my library on the external drive ?

Suddenly, after a year of good operation, my itunes seems to be looking for my library on my computer C drive, rather than the external drive it had been set up to as default How do I get it to search for the stored library on the external drive again ?

Quit iTunes.
On the external drive;
1 - Create new folder called iTunes (or whatever you want).
2 - Move your music folder into this.
3 - Go to the the C: drive iTunes folder.
4 - Copy the iTunes library.itl file into the iTunes folder on the external drive.
5 - Start iTunes holding the Shift key.
6 - Select Choose existing library and select the iTunes library.itl file you just copied to the external.

Any suggestion for a damaged logic board rather than buy a new computer

Any suggestions for a damaged logic board rather than buying a new computer

The most frequent RAM vendor recommendations are Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC).
With respect the logic board, you could ask Apple about a "Fixed Price Repair" which will generally repair everything that is wrong with a Mac.

I recently began using reminders in ical and downloaded the iPhone and iPad app. It works great. However, the reminders in ical on the COMPUTER is difficult to work with - thin long column on the right rather than in it's own screen. is there a reminders app for the COMPUTER that is more user friendly?

sgreenie,
If you are willing to wait, Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Inspired by iPad. Made for the Mac explains that a "Reminders" application will be included in the next release of OS X.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone
