Cnn vids on iMac, not Macbook

Hi - please walk me through this one more time. . .what settings do I need to adjust on my macbook to play cnn videos (like my intel iMac does) through Safari? Thanks. . . .Jim C

The problem with Windows Media files on Intel Macs at the moment is that there is no player available as a Universal binary. You can however install the Flip4Mac plugins although you will need to run both Quicktime and Safari under Rosetta… which you may not want to do. Anyway, here's what you do…
0) Download the Flip4mac plugins from…
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia
1) Change the installer to run using Rosetta
2) Change Quicktime Player to run using Rosetta
3) Change Safari to run using Rosetta
4) Install Flip4Mac plugins
5) Try it out

Guitar works on iMac, not MacBook

Very strange problem with GarageBand: Before the GarageBand '11 update, my electric guitar was working perfectly even when using the GB guitar effects. Since updating to '11 (and yes, I've installed the '11 software update) when monitoring the guitar through my speakers (or MacBook built-in speakers) it's ok for the first 5-10 seconds, but then there is a constant distortion noise and crackling and popping, as well as a severe delay (1-2 seconds) between the time I hit a note to the time I hear it. The latency is not there in the first 5-10 seconds, it only occurs when the distortion sound and crackling and pop sounds start. I wondered if my MacBook needed more than the 2GB of memory I have in it, so I installed a total of 4GB. Didn't help. Same problem. The problem is not my guitar or the interface cable (First Act) as I tried the identical setup on my iMac with 2GB memory, and it works flawlessly, even when using guitar effects. Is anyone else having this problem?

Lion Prompts Password To Trash on iMac Not Macbook Pro

Has there been any update on the prompting of one's password everyone time one wants to trash a file or folder? I installed Lion on my Macbook Pro. No prompting when putting items into the trash can. However on my iMac, I get the prompting of my password every simgle time I want to delete. I am the sole user. Help at the 1-800 number told me to bring it to an Apple Store, and the Genius Bar. Would rather fix it through info here.
Any help appreciated.

My IPad is not being recognized by iTunes on my computers (IMac and MacBook Air)

My IPad is not appearing in ITunes on my computers (IMac and MacBook Air). Troubleshooting didn't help. USB works fine. Cord works when I am charging. IPad is not showing on my computer and not charging from it.

See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for troubleshooting help.

Can some one help me reinstall my MP640 software on my Imac and macbook pro? as the software does not recognise os 10.7.5

My Imac and macbook pro stopped accessing my MP640 via the home wifi set up, so I sent all the canon software to the trash on both computers, thinking I should reinstall the software I got with the printer, but the software does not recognise os 10.7.5. I am using a netgear modem. I also use time machine to back up to time capsule.

Receiving email on iMac and MacBook, but not iOS devices?

Not sure why this is happening, but I'm not getting all emails on iPhones and iPads. I've had several emails addressed to my me.com address that show up on my iMac and MacBook, but never show up on our iPhones or iPads. This applies only to my me.com stuff. Even an iTunes marketing email doesn't show up on my iPhone.
I just transitioned to iCould last week and that's when it started. All devices were converted to iCloud and the iMac and MacBook are set up as IMAP accounts.
Any ideas?

I finally figured this out. I use SpamSieve and when it's identifies something as Spam, it moves the email into a local folder and removes it from the cloud. The solution (in SpamSieve's documentation) was to create a new mailbox in iCloud and change the rule to move the messages there so that you can see any mis-identified on the iPhone.

HT5268 Just purchased Imac and Macbook pro and upgrades to Mountain Lion. Java will not run with one important site where my Grandson is in Kindergarten out of state with in room camera. What to do. This is very disappointing and non of apple geniuses kno

My new IMac and Macbook Pro are each loaded with Mountain Lion. Have Office for Mac also
When I try to see my Grandson on webcam out of state the login will not activate. For PC use I needed Java and Active X to let it run. My Java is checked as ready to go but nothing happens. Otherwise these are great computers. Please help me through the process. The Geniuses at my apple store can't understand what to do.

By default, OS X does NOT come with Java installed nowadays. You need to open the Java Preferences app found in Utilities; when you do that the first time, it will inform you of the fact and offer to install the product for you.
Afterwards, due to a major security issue we had back in the first quarter of the year, the plugin is disabled by default. You need to revisit the Preferences and enable manually. It will auto-disable if unused in awhile.
Lastly, you may have to adjust which Java instance is being used, the 32-bit or the 64-bit. Default is 64-bit, but some applets crash & burn or outright refuse to run in such a platform. You can prioritize which version you prefer by dragging on top in the Preferences.

I am considering the purchase of an iMac or Macbook and want to know whether I can import my iTunes library of +400 albums from my Windows PC over my Home Network? 300 of these albums have been imported from CD's, so would not want to have to do that again.

Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network.

NEF images loaded on iMAC into PSCC are distorted, but not on Preview or second iMAC or MacBook Air

NEF images loaded onto one IMAC into PSCC are distorted but show normally in Preview.   Same NEF on second iMAC and MacBook Air are not distorted.   Questions
1.     Is there a setting in PSCC that needs to be tweaked
2.   Is the PSCC loaded on the iMAC corrupted or need repair?   How does one determine which and how to fix?
Thanks

You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

Hello
I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
Thanks!

It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue.

Login Window: Screen does not refresh correctly after waking 10.7.2 iMac and MacBook.

I have a client who brought to my attention that when we wakes his iMac and MacBook after the screen dims or sleeps at login screen, that sometimes the screen does not refresh correctly and you must use the cursor to basically "clear the screen." I have witnessed this myself and elimiated all third party products and this still happens. I am starting to believe that is is a bug in 10.7.2. Has anyone witnessed this or have any suggestions on how to remedy? Thank you.

Thanks lynque. It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem. I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential). I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

I have purchased the VGA Connectors for both a iMac and Macbook Pro so that i can connect my promethean board projector to the computer and I can not get the image on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work. I just heard adaptors burn out often. So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best. I will get one once I move.
Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland. I know there are no Apple stores there.
An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

Safari suddenly not working on iMac and MacBook

I've been using Safari as my main browser for years and about a week ago it just stopped working on both my iMac and MacBook.
I can open it, but it just brings up an "Untitled" screen and the progress bar stays at 1/3 on the home page I have set.
I've tried clearing the cache and the history, restarting. Nothing. I opened Firefox and it works fine. I don't mind Firefox, but I really prefer Safari so would love to figure out why this is suddenly happening.
Does anyone have any insight?

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.
