Can I play iMovie on a TV using USB?

I made an iMovie for my Mom's birthday and I have to play it on an HDTV at the restaurant. I have USB chords, and the TV at the restaurant has a USB connection. Can this work? What do I have to change on the sound and video preferences? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can't connect to the USB port on the TV — that's not a video input.
Tell us the Model Identifier of your MBP as reported in System Profiler (called System Report in Lion), and what video input ports are available on the HDTV.

Have i tunes 11.1.5 on windows 8 but i can't sync any devise when i use usb cable

have i tunes 11.1.5 on windows 8 but i can't sync any devise when i use usb cable

I have Windows 8.1 64. Upgraded my iphone 5 to 7.1 version. My laptop did not recognize the iphone. After a couple of hours of tring to figure out why the laptop and iphone weren't syncing, these are the steps I followed. Most are pieced together from suggestion on various websites. Don't know if all steps are necessary, but it's what I did and it worked.
1) I did this first: Uninstall and reinstall itunes.
2) Reboot computer and iphone (turn off the on again)
3) Go to control panel and "repair" all apple apps.
4) Go to "Device Manager" on computer (go to left bottom corner and right click, locate Device Manger from list or you can use the Search..
4a) Go to Universial Serial Bus Controllers and look for "Apple Mobile Sevice USB Driver (Before "repairing" the apple apps, this did not appear on my laptop).
4b) Right-click the Apple iPhone in Device Manager and select Update Drive.
4c) Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
4d) Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
4e) Click the "Have Disk button"
4f) At the "Install from Disk" click Browse button.
4g) Go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and Click OK.
4h) Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps.
5) You should then see the "Apple Mobile Service USB Driver in the Device Manager now.
6) Open itunes and hopefully the iphone and Windows 8.1 laptop will sync (a dialogue box will appear on the iphone 5 asking you to "trust" the computer. Select Trust.)
7) If this doesn't work, try rebooting your computer and turning off your iphone and then turn it back on.
Good Luck. It shouldn't be this time-consuming.

How can I play iMovie 2 projects on iMovie 11?

When I upgraded to Lion awhile back... I didn't realize that new versions of iMovie, iMovie 11, would not play former versions. How can I play the older versions? Is there an iMovie 2 for Lion, or a workaround?

and as addendum zo Bengt's excellent advice:
iMovie is no 'player'.
iMovie projects, from any version, are meant to be shared/broadcasted/exported (diff. words in diff. version, meaning all the same).
Such exports, from any version of iMovie were, are, and for sure will be playable - with Quicktime Player.
So, meant as generic advice:
Don't 'hide' your Projects in iMovie!
Export them, make a mov (or m4v, or mp4, or whatever) of it - done.

Using ipad, can I play back videos stored on a USB flash stick?

I have some videos that I made stored on a USB flash memory stick. Can I play them back directly on a ipad?

No, you can't. There are a couple of hard drives out there that will allow you to stream to your iPad over WiFi. Otherwise, you'll need, as the previous poster explained, sync through iTunes.

Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
1. We can play shared music.
2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
Anyone.... ?
I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

Heya Joseph,
Yes you can play shared music in front row.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
Heya Justin,
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
- Open iPhoto - then quit
- Open iTunes - then quit
- Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

Can't play libray 'could not be used b/c the original file can't be found"

Dell Inspiron 9300 Windows XP
When I try to play the songs In my library I get an error message saying " could not be used because the original file could notbe found. Would you like to locate it?" This is the same for both my uploaded and purchased music. This happened all of a sudden and I don't know why. I did not remove any music files from my computer. Can anyone help me please?

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible.
So, did you move or delete anything? Do you have any other software that might move things - such as another music player reorganising your files?
You can use Windows Explorer to try and locate the music files, also look in the recycle bin.
Windows search can also look for music files.
Don't allow your iPod to synchronise as this may delete files from your iPod and you may need it to recover your music if the files really have gone from your HD.

Can't play sounds on videos when using 'Facebook', music plays

On my wife's iPad she cannot hear sound from video clips when in 'Facebook', but she can hear sound when she opens iTunes. Any help, suggestions?

Sorry I don't. It just happens at random and usually most YouTube videos and other similar styled videos. I'm not really a tech guy but it just seems like there is something else going on. Everything else on my PC works fine except when I want to open a video using flash. It isn't just one site or one video it is nearly every flash video and it's almost like they're loading one at a time except in no order if there is more than one tab. Even if it is just one video, it takes a long time to load.
Imagine going to YouTube to load up a vid and the controls or progrss bar never load, it just stops and only a solid black box is displayed. Eventually the controls load and it seems like it's about to play at any moment.. only the waiting lasts 5 minutes. Even if you refresh it still has to do this all over again.

Can I play music while I'm using other apps?

I believe that on my work iPad, I was able to play music while I used other apps, however, I seem to not be able to do so on my personal iPad. What do I need to do to be able to listen to music while I work?

If the apps use sound - such as game apps, you will not be able to play Music while using this apps. If you are working in a Word Processing app or some other app that doesn't involve using sounds, you should be able to play music - using the iPad Music App.
