Can you watch movies with lid closed on Powerbook G4 that's connected to TV

Hi there, is it possible to have a Powerbook G4 connected to a TV and watch movies with the Powerbook's lid closed.

yes, but you need some sort of device like a mouse or a keyboard to "wake" it up. can be wired or wireless.
an app called "caffeine" may also work, you can try it, it's a free utility that keeps the machine awake.

HT1657 Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

Movies from the iTunes Store download to your device; they do not stream. Under normal circumstances, once the movie has completely downloaded, an Internet connection should no longer be required. In a few instances, I've seen reports of people encountering problems when trying to view a rental in absence of an Internet connection, but such glitches seem to be rare.

Can you watch movies on the new iPod nano?

I know you can watch movies on the iPod video, but i wasnt sure if i'd be wasting my money on buying a movie from the itunes store and not being able to watch it.
Windows XP

The iPod nano does not support video. The processor is not strong enough, along with other things.
Also, do not try iPod Linux, even though you might hear that its awesome.
1. Even iPod Linux does not support iPod nano downloads.
2. Voids any Warranty you have on yoru iPod.
3. Not unusual for it to leave your iPod as a large domino, and with no warranty, you're out of luck.
I hope this helps!

Watching video with lid closed

Is it possible to close the lid and have the DVD playing continue when theto the mini DVI port is connected to an external display device??
Thanks
Lewis

Short answer is no, the reason is that the iBook vents out the kerboard and if you run it with the top closed it will overheat.
long answer is yes, you can run it with the lid closed, it would probably void warranty, but its possible. I run linux in my iBook and it lets me run with the lid closed, and there is some hack for mac that lets you do the same, I don't remember what it is called, but being a long answer you can probably find it on google.

I recently discovered that my 3G cell service will not steam Netflix or Crackle? I cell service is in. I was able to watch before 2weeks ago. Wifi works fine. Can't stream movies with cell service. Why is that? Quite frustrated!

PPlease help, I can't stream netflix or crackle using my data plan. I have 3G. And wifi works fine. Worked fine until 2 weeks ago. Cell service is turned on.

We are here to help, on the double Cleopet8088! May I ask what zip code are you in? Also, what iOS version do you have installed on your iPad? If you have voice service with us on a cell phone then are you having the same issue there? As you share the details then we can investigate.
Thank you...

How high can you score get with a single 30 day late that is almost 6 years old?

Hey Team, I know it is impossible to predict the exact score without knowing alot of factors. I have 37 accounts on my file.17 are still active (average age is 6 years old. Oldest 1998, Newest less than a month)About 125K of credit available but I am carring about 8K in debt spread out among 6 cards.No BK or COI have one 30 day late that won't "clear" until next year.During the credit crunch (2008-2009), I did have certain companies out right close my account but was never late and paid them.My queries on average are 8 in the last year on all 3 CRA.My DTI is about is about 20% per month. With all this said, my Fico score barely breaks 720. Does anybody think I can reach 740 or above? Or do I have to wait until next year? Fee

Yes, probably easily if you pretty up your revolving balances, depending what your installment history looks like and what not and let your inquiries fade: that's a bunch score wise if they weren't mortgage / auto related. My EX FICO 8 is a 739 right now, my AAOA is 2 years (about to tick over 3) and that's with a tax lien, 30/60 late, and a paid collection from 2010. Also a single scorable inquiry on the report... least for the next few hours . Thanks Rev gives me hope!

With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

Can iTunes play with lid closed?

I am a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds like a dumb question. I just moved from Windows world (after using it for 25 years) to MacBook Pro about 4 months ago.
I am using AiportExpress to stream music from iTunes to 3 different audio system throught my home. I would like play iTunes to play the music even when my MacBook lid is closed. I can't seem to get this work. Seems like such a basic function. Is it possible to play iTunes with lid closed? What am I missing?

{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}If Apple were to allow it with a setting and the user burned up the computer, then it would have to be covered under warranty, which it isn't.{quote}
Don't mean to argue.. but I still believe that it should be a user enabled/disabled function. I've used it on all my PCs for several years (when playing CD on Windows Media Player) and I am yet to BURN a single device
If I have to keep the MacBook open to keep running iTunes, wouldn't I run the same risk of BURNING (like you said)?
OK.. this is what I need to do...
I have all my music in iTunes. I have setup 3 AirportExpress (AirTunes) hooked up to receivers on 3 levels on my home. I'd like to play the music from iTunes (wirelessly streaming throughout the house via AirTunes) without having to keep the MacBook open. How do I do it?
I don't want to see any third party apps (e.g. Insomnia) to prevent my computer from going to sleep. I just want to accomplish what I described above. Can this be done or not?
Another question is if the iTunes is running on one of my Windows-based laptops, and I close the lid on that, iTunes (on PC) should continue to run. Right?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any way I can play music on 15" rMBP with lid closed?

Hi everyone,
I'm enquiring if I can play music on my 15" retina Macbook Pro while it is asleep. I have an iPhone 5 I can listen to music on, but I've recently found that the sound is so much better if I plug my headphones into my Mac as it gives a fuller richer sound.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to use an app which disables sleep when you close the lid. For this, use InsomniaX > http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22211/insomniax After disabling sleep with lid closed, you should be able to listen to music. Be careful doing this because your computer may get overheated if you keep the Mac with lid closed and turned on for a very long time

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
Here's the list.
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
.avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
Good luck!
Deb.

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

Can you watch really any video with a nokia 9300?

I tried rm formats and the only that works is sound, no video at all...Am I doing something wrong?. Can you watch really any video with the Real Media player on Nokia 9300?.
Any help would be really welcome.

You cannot watch just any type of media file with realplayer on the 9300/9300i/9500 communicators, video files have to be converted to the 3gp format, there are a number of converter software packages on the net - may of which are free. Try also Nokia's own multimedia converter, downloadeable from Nokia, cheers.
