Can I restrict Youtube browsing to h264 only? Want to search on Mac for aTV

Hi,
Youtube is surprisingly good on the AppleTV.
I'd like to search on my Mac, and then save to favourites. Then I can watch them on the AppleTV from my Favourites. Unfortunately, a large amount of what I find won't work on AppleTV since they're not converted to h264 yet (I assume).
Is there any way on YouTube that I can restrict it all to h264 only videos?
Thanks
Greg
ps. YouTube makes my MBP run incredibly hot! maybe flash really is a problem for AppleTV and iPhone!

Did you ever get a reply to this? This is exactly what I want to do with my son's iMac G4 now running leopard.

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.

How do you restrict web browsing to view only specified sites for business use?

Hello, I need to restrict the use of Firefox and Internet Explorer to only specified websites that we use for business use.
I have a problem with a number of employees using unauthorized and dangerous websites that have put my business computers at risk.
Since it is impossible to police the employees viewing habits in real time, I need to restrict the viewing. How do I set up a list of only allowed sites that can only be overridden by admin privileges despite user accounts?

You will have to block such unwanted sites in a firewall or router or proxy and only allow access via that proxy. 
All other ways can easily circumvented, by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]] if it is an extension or by using a portable Firefox version.

Can I use my 2TB Time Capsule ONLY as an external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

Hi...wondering if somebody could help me out there.
I currently have an older Apple 2TB Time Capsule (previous generation) which I'm using as both my WiFi access point, as well as my Time Machine backup location for both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
We've been having slow WiFi issues in our home, and seeing as how this Time Capsule is a number of years old, were thinking of upgrading to the faster WiFi routers with 802.11ac capability. I'll be honest when I say we were considering other options, beyond the newest Time Capsule.
My question is, can we somehow use the 2TB of storage on our current Time Capsule for the purpose of backing up our computers with Time Machine, but NOT use the WiFi functionality of the Time Capsule itself?
I'm assuming if I manually plugged either my iMac or MacBook Pro (wired ethernet) into the Time Capsule, I could likely get that computer to recognize and use it for Time Machine purposes, but I'd like to use it to backup both computers, ideally wirelessly on the MacBook Pro.
Any help would be great.
Right now I'm running a DSL line into a DSL modem, which then runs ethernet into my Time Capsule. From there, I have a 4 port switch connected for wired devices (we wired our home with ethernet jacks in almost every room). We also have an Airport Express to extend the range of the network.
Thanks,
Jason

You can bridge the TC and plug it into whatever wireless router you buy.
There is no need to turn off the wireless in the TC.. but you can set it up as a secondary wireless network. That is totally up to you. I find the Gen4 TC very fast on 5ghz.. but you need it to be close to the computers.. in your case that should be dead easy.. simply plug it in by ethernet in the same room as the iMac say.. and set it up with bridge and the imac plugged into it by ethernet.. one computer then can access the internet and backup via ethernet with huge speed improvements.. the laptop can then use whatever your new router wireless network.. or the TC one if it is close enough..
So there are plenty of variations and your setup is easy to handle with the large amount of ethernet you have.
Just post again if you need specifics.. but I need specifics to give them!!

I ONLY want to use my airport for streaming music from my laptop to my stereo. How do i do this?

I just bought the Airport and I ONLY want to use it for connecting my laptop to my stereo.
How do I set it up like this?
My air port is saying that it is unable to find any wireless devices and is only giving me the option to rescan it. (It doesn't find anything and just returns me to the same screen).
I'm using a mac running the latest OS by the way.
Thanks a lot.

I only want to use the icloud for my music

I have a PC and an ipad2. I would like to use the icloud to transfer music I previoulsy loaded via a CD. Music that was not purchased from iTunes does not show available to download when I open my ipad2/shared music library. Would I use the icloud for this and if so, how would I select specific albums? I have heard many horror stories regarding icloud syncs so I have yet to activate my account. I only want to use icloud for my music and nothing else.

Yes. Only purchases from iTunes are stored in the cloud. If you want to store songs imported via CD you need iTunes Match.

Can you use your browser with wifi only?

Hey there, I've just got my bb torch and I'm trying to configure my browser so that it only uses wifi in the connection. I was able to do this on my bb 9000 by deleting the network browser in the service book setting but I can't seem to find that in the bb torch service book. Hope you can help!

LCromwell is correct. Your phone LOVES connecting to a WiFi signal when one is available. Turn on your WiFi and start browsing!
Cheers.

My browser displays text only with very little page formating for all pages. How do I enable page formating with images etc.?

I have a multi-user windows based machine where both users have the same browser, search engine, plugins, applications, etc. I use this machine primarily as an entertainment system (ie. TV client/server using a TV Tuner card, Music & Video Player, etc.). Most of my time on this machine is maintaining security and drivers. However, my wife uses it primarily as a social media communication device. My user account on this machine displays all content correctly. Where as she has crashed both Facebook games while playing as well as her mail (GMail). After one of these crashes it "appears" she is displaying HTML text with formatting but without images. I've tried to fix this without success. We have another machine that seems fine so it's not her login on our network, just the one machine. Please help!!!

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Why can't I clear Browsing and Download,and Forms and Search histories when selected.

I want to eliminate some errors in addresses and autofil that continue to be primary response when I try to enter the correct address. I also can't clear the drop down list of suggestion, either singularly or all when I followed the Firefox suggested fix.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

How can I set up two i tunes accounts on the same i mac for different profiles

I have set up two profiles on my new i mac. I now want to access two different i tunes accounts but when downloading the second account I get a message saying the computer is already set up with an apple id and if you download you can not auto download !! for 90 days ??? I don't understand this

Jus don't turn on Autodownload (iTunes prefs > Store).
Autodownload simply tells iTunes to automaticall download items if you purchase them elsewhere (such as a different computer or iPhone/iPad).
You can still download them when your purchase them on the computer or go to iTunes store in iTunes, select Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.

How do I remove just the TOC, or Just the Index, or both? I only want the Search tab to display.

We use the TCS suite to create multiple webhelp projects. We're integrating a virtual assistant with our help, and I've been asked to remove the TOC tab from displaying. The index, glossary, and search can remain.
I don't know how to accomplish this. I'm sort of a newbie.
And if there is a way to remove the TOC tab, is it an all or nothing deal? Can I remove it from appearing in some parts of the webhelp output but not all of them?
Thank you all for your help!

Hi there
I hate to disagree, but I think Colum is leading you down a dark alley.
Unless I'm horribly mistaken, you accomplish this by adjusting a setting in your Single Source Layout recipe. I know you said you are using TCS, but you didn't say which version. So I'm going to assume version 9 here.
From the Single Source Layouts pod, double-click the WebHelp layout. Then click the Navigation section and clear the TOC check box to remove the TOC and the TOC button in the skin.
Click the image below for larger and clearer view.
Once you have done this, generate your WebHelp again.
Cheers... Rick
