Can I play HD movies from TC disk via WD-HD player

I want to use my TC as extend disk for my iMac. Also TC want to use as my HD movies storage soo I want to play movies from it via WD-HD player. WD-HD player and TC connected via Ethernet port only

You can play movies fine as the TC is merely being used as storage and if you use ethernet is more than fast enough.
Mixing usage with TM on a Mac can get messy though... and remember there is no way to backup stuff on the TC easily so make sure you keep original copies somewhere.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay. The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay. The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive. I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
VLC Player may work.

Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies. I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies. Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic? I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc. Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud. Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

I can't play my movies from iTunes when i connect to my HDTV.

I'm having trouble viewing my video from iTunes on my hdtv. I have a 2013 MBP 13" retina display runing OS X Mavericks. i recently bought an hdmi cable so i can hook up my MBP to my HDTV and watch my videos from iTunes.But when i open my itunes and try to play a video is just shows the play and its black. no maker how much i press play it doesnt show on the tv. i disconnect the cable and it show on my mbp. but once again when i plug in the hdmi is goes black again. can anyone help me play my movies to my hdtv.

What happens if you click play and start the movie and THEN plugin the HDMI cable?
I am not 100% but pretty sure this is intentionally being blocked by iTuens as a DRM restriction by copyright holders. Windows media player does the same thing. You can not play movies or other potentially copyrighted content though the video out (HDMI in this case) port on the computer.
This is a legal restriction Apple is under. Not something they do by choice. One simple way around it would be to by an AppleTV. They are $100 and let you play your iTunes, iPhoto, etc. content on your TV. It would also be much more convent since it is meant for this and would let you control the content via remote control.

Can you play home movies from imovie on atv?

Can you use imovie to play home movies through atv? If so, how is it done?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
From the iMovie share menu. choose share to iTunes. Choose an appropriate size for your content (no point choosing an HD size if your content isn't). If you have an Apple TV 1, limit your choice to those options that are designated for the Apple TV, if you have an Apple TV 2, you can select the extra options designated for the iPad.

Safari iPhone can't play QT movies from certain web pages

I'm trying to reach QT movies from certain websites and I can't seem to get the streaming video to play in Safari on my iPhone.
When I click on the link, it opens a new page. I briefly get a Quicktime logo, then I get a "cannot play" icon (triangle with a stop symbol).
When I go through a regular browser, I can see the file is a .mov file. It seems to be a smallish file - about 2 minutes at 320x240 size? I don't know what the bit rate is.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
By the way, I love my iPhone!

At this time .Mov files are not compatible with the iPhone.
The website would need to re-encode their movie into an H.264 video

QT 7.1.5 can't play QT movie from Final Cut Pro 5.1.4?!

I am editing a film in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 on a PowerBook running 10.4.9.
But when I moved a QT movie from FCP's "capture scratch" onto my Core 2 Duo MacBook, QT only showed me a white screen and asked me to search for third-party updates/plugins.
To make things even stranger, I loaded the file into my MacBook's Final Cut Pro 5.0 and it runs in there flawlessly!
Since this file is a pure FCP Quicktime video, in HD (Codec: HDV 1080i50, Integer (Big Indian), Timecode), I am very surprised that Quicktime won't play it - and that FCP will...
Is this perhaps due to the fact that my MacBook doesn't have the Universal binary FCP 5.1.4 installed?
I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!

Great! Thks David..I have not come up against this prob yet,but as I am progressing along a long edit,no doubt,I will..Your tip is extremely helpful.Thanks again from Australia.

Can you play a movie from the cloud without downloading?

I previsouly was able to stream movies and tv shows from the cloud without downloading. Is this still possible with the new IOS?

You should be able to. I don't have any IOs devises with me at the moment, but try this.
From your IOS device go to iTunes/Purchased. Look for shows that are not downloaded and you should be able to stream them.

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD so I dragged the movie onto a blank DVD and it appeared to burn it correctly. When I try to play the movie from this DVD I get an error message referencing "you can't open the application mediaio

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system. After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete". What is this all about? Are there settings I need to change? PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work. Help!

Klaus: Does this mean that I can only watch this movie on my computer and ipad not on my home big screen system?

How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

The maximum duration available for an automatic presentation in Keynote is 600 seconds.
The alternatives are to export a QuickTime video, use other presentation applications, a media server player or digital signage application.

Can I play 3D movies on a 3D TV using Quicktime 7 and the FBX QuickTime Viewer Plug-in from Autodesk?

Can I play 3D movies on a 3D TV using Quicktime 7 and the FBX QuickTime Viewer Plug-in from Autodesk? I would like to play 3D movies which are in Side by Side or Top/Bottom format where the image for each eye is 1080 x 720p. I would like to output to a 3D TV connecting it to the Mac graphics card DVI output (with a HDMI 1.3 converter) using the 2nd Display option of Quicktime.
These would be my 3D movies created with Final Cut and Stereo3D Toolbox from Dashwood.

What type of files are these? It does seem odd that iTunes and QuickTime will still play the files, but Front Row refuses to.
Did you have any codecs or plugins for QuickTime installed? It may be possible that one of the updates is either incompatible with, or removed, one of these.
I recommend downloading Perian - a very versatile codec that allows the playback of many media files - and see if this cures the issue.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!
