Compressed mov appears dark on a Windows computer
(This is cross-posted in the QuickTime for Macintosh group)
I am using Qt 7.0.4 on Macintosh OS 10.3.9
When I export a movie using any compression (even the slightest) it appears dark on a Windows computer (much more so than the gamma difference between Mac and PC monitors) but it appears normal on the Macintosh. If I export the movie with no compression it appears the same on the Mac and the PC.
Please see this example: http://www.sketchpad.net/quarkmulti_bg_image384.htm
I really need to compress the movie for bandwidth reasons, but all the compression settings I have tested gives the same result - dark movie in Windows.
Does anyone have any ideas? If I use QT Pro for Windows, will the results be different?

Thank you for your reply. I have tried MPEG-4 and H.264. I have the 23 in Apple Cinema HD display on both the Mac and PC computers. Both the Mac and PC monitors are calibrated. I calibrated the Mac monitor using the 2.2 Television Gamma to minimize the difference between the Mac and PC displays.
But there is a definite difference when I export with no compression. The movie comes out perfect. But there is a very noticeable difference when compressed. I have seen the gamma difference before using OS 9 and with my older monitors and this does not look the same.
I just wanted to know if this was a problem for others or only a problem with my setup. I suppose I could try it on a different monitor somewhere else.

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?
If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

Is it possible to move itunes library from a windows computer to an external drive (time capsule) while, keeping all the playlist, ratings, plays etc. And importing this library to itunes on a macbook air? And how is it done? The media files should stay on the external drive since there is not enough space on the macbook air.
Regards
SørenHey man. Thanks a lot for the reply (hold the options instead of command key while launching). My old itunes library is now on my new computer in itunes, but the mp3 files are not in the same itunes folder. Where do I place these or what do I do to play them in my new itunes library?
All the songs in the library have exclamation marks in front of them because itunes can't find them.
Thanks again

thanks DaveHello hallefrompa,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides an answer to your question:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
You'll need to setup your iPod to sync to this new iTunes library:

Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer? My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod. I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled). Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes? seems very inflexible/inelegant...
thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!Is there no ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM?

i have iphone 5s which when i connect to import the pictures directly to my windows computer. a folder by the name of my phone appears in "My Computer" . when i open it, it shows the storage information and one icon to click on. when opened it shows a couple of folders to click upon to view pictures. when i open the pictures folder and delete all the pictures , even then a lots of unclickable windows icons remain
i have attached the picture of that window's screenshot. plus when ever i try deleting them it says,
please help!.. i shall be really thankful.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer. -
I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?
If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ?
How do I move itunes library from my ipad back to my itunes library in my windows computer ? All the songs got transfered by mistake from my windows itunes library to my ipad. All i had wanted to do was to move a select # of songs newly purchased from my ipad to my ipod but I got mixed up. Before i knew it all teh library had been moved to my ipad? HELP!
You don't have to move the songs back into iTunes if you don't want to, the songs are still in iTunes on your computer - you just copied a version of the songs onto the iPad from iTunes.
If you want to remove them from the device itself, just swipe across the song while you are in song list mode in the music app and a red delete button will pop up. You can also tap and hold down on a playlist or a album icon and the X to delete will pop up. It will not work for Genius playlists.
You can also connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes, select the iPad on the left side, click on the Music Tab on the right, uncheck all of the music that you want to remove, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes, and that will remove the songs from the iPad. -

iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals. So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.
