Converting using stramclip for apple tv help.

Can someone help, im using windows and am unable to convert anymore that 4 vob files 1gig each, is there a way to convert a movie which is fairly long without using another program to convert it to something like avi which streamclip can convert, your help would be gratfull.

Do you merge the files in the same way as adding the vob files to convert, i.e select add files, then add the new files and convert them in to a compatable formatYes, if you plan to use MPEG Streamclip.
im currently tring to convert the six vob files in to two avi files, then convert them to h264, will that workI personally might try the shorter method of converting the first three VOBs to H.264 and then do the same to the second three VOBs. If the target files are named consecutively (e.g., filename_1 and filename_2) I'd then simply use the "Add Files" menu option to open the files in correct order in MPEG Streamclip, check to see that they merge without a break, and then use the "Save As..." File option to save the "merged" content in a single MP4 container as if the files had been converted in one contiuous stream. This saves you the trouble/time of performing the intermediate conversion and preserves the quality that would have been lost had the original files been "shrunken" before conversion.

Best software for converting mvk files for apple tv?

I have lots of MVK video files on my Mac which I would like to play via Apple TV. Is there anyway I can play these through Apple TV without converting?
If not what is the best software/settings to use to convert these to maintain video and sound quality of the MVK file?
Thanks

MKV files usually have H264 video inside them already, and audio is either AAC, AC3 (preferable) or DTS.
Conversion is really easy. You could try MKV tools, but I've found audio sync issues, especially when converting sound from DTS.
Ffmpeg (command line) works the best.
You can get great instructions here (http://www.martinlos.com/?p=41) for getting that set up.
Once everything is properly set up, you can generally convert with lines like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ac 6 -ar 48000 -ab 320k ouput.m4v
What that does is tell ffmpeg to use file 'input.mkv' and copy the audio codec (assuming it's H264, which if it's an MKV, it likely is) and to convert the audio codec to AC3, 6 channels (5.1) at 48000 hz, at 320k bitrate. The output m4v file is what you'll use on your Apple TV. Conversion usually takes a few minutes.
You can get info about the mkv by typing ffmpeg -i input.mkv. That'll tell you what type of video you're dealing with, and what type of audio.
There's additional nuances, like removing metadata and chapters, but all of that can be found with a simple google search.
Good luck!

Need "dummies for Apple TV" help - brand new consumer

Hello!
I'm NOT tech-savvy, but have been using Mac computers for many years!
I just purchased a 2nd gen Apple TV and am trying to figure out if I have the necessary cables, ports, etc. to hook it up. I have one HDMI cable and one audio cable to use with the Apple TV.
I have a 3 year old Vizio HDTV TV with only 2 HDMI ports. I have my cable box in one HDMI port and my DVD player in the 2nd HDMI port.
I've been digging around the net and found splitters that might enable me to turn one HDMI port into 2.
Question 1: is this possible?
Question 2: if it is, which device would be better to share the HDMI port with Apple TV? BTW, we use our DVD player maybe once or twice a month max.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this for me!

Purchase an HDMI switcher, you can switch between the inputs for the DVD and ATV.
Make sure it supports HDCP (this is a protocol for protected content, I know iTunes and netflix require it for HD content)

I feel your pain, but honestly, Apple won't life a finger to help you.
If you really want to get a court order, call an attorney.

How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV

Hello and thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS for a 1st Generation iPod Touch so that it can use the Remote App from I tunes to control the Apple TV device. It needs to be the 3.1.2 version, but Apple seems to offer only 3.1 I found the 3.1.2 version on a non-apple site and attempted to download and install it but it didn't work out. (Error 14). I was expecting to control the TV with my 1G Touch and am a little disappointed with Apple that the older Touch units seemingly cannot do this. Any help appreciated.

You can buy 3.1 thru iTunes then use it to upgrade to 3.1.3.

How to use fingerprint for Apple Store

I've read that the fingerprint technology could be used to confirm your identity when accessing the Apple Store. However, whenever I want to download an app it ALWAYS asks for my Apple password. I have never been able to just use my fingerprint. Is this supposed to work? If so, how do I enable it?
I'm using it successfully to unlock the phone.
Thanks

How to use airplay for Apple TV from a MacBook Pro?

Help!

Try changing your energy saver settings. Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never. When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off. I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music. I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone. I've seen them as low as $30. Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free). These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs.
If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features. Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house. You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere!

HT4437 Can I use AirPlay for Apple TV 1st generation

Is it possible to stream from iPad or iPhone to Apple TV 1st generation.

No, Airplay does not work on AppleTV 1. The software does not handle the protocol.
While Apple TV 1 can handle the Airtunes protocol for audio, current iOS versions seems to ignore this from apps like Music.
Your only option for audio on current iOS I've found is to use Remote app to control an itunes library for music and use 'Airplay' to the AppleTV for the music - iTunes still allows Airplay devices output for audio.
You could also control AppleTV connected to a Sync or Share iTunes library using Remore but of course computer needs to be running.

When I log off Firefox, there is a long delay, then an error message: Firefox not responding. Then it eventually logs off. The side bar scroll up and down also experiences delays. This is a new problem--I've used Firefox for years. Help!

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to see if the problem would go away--no luck. It's not my mouse nor my keyboard. Internet Explorer does not have this problem nor any other application. When typing on websites, there is also a delay when the cursor is tabbed, and typing experiences fits and starts as well. I'm going crazy!

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

New G5 (to me) PPC, completely reformatted but can't get on the internet. Can't find a registration form for Apple. Help?

I've completely reformattted and installed Tiger 4.2, and am connected to my WiFi router but Safari informs me that it "failed to open page ...apple.com.startpage/ because it could not connect to the server "www.apple.com"
Network Setup Assistant tells me "Congratulations you are Connected".
When I was formatting the HD, they offered me a registration page and said I could register later, which I choose, now I can't find a registration form anywhere.

TIA ....goldie

There is no need to register an older Mac - but you should update to the final version of Tiger, 10.4.11.
General advice on updating Tiger:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
And for Intel Macs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

New SSL email settings for Apple Mail help please

I too received the Verizon email settings notification but when I turn on ssl and change the server ports for incoming and outgoing mail to the correct ports...I get a connection error... the mail server "incoming.verizon.net" is not responding. When I change back to the original settings, it connects just fine. Anybody else having issues with Apple Mail on a mobile device I.e. iPad, iPhone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem setting up the new ports and SSL on an ipad. Restarting the ipad did not help. Turns out that the settings app needs to be turned off before incoming will work. For those that aren't familiar, double click the home button. All active apps will appear in a row across the bottom of the display. Press and hold any active app icon until they all start dancing and have a small red circle in the upper left corner with a minus sign in it. Release and then tap the app(s) you want to close.

Using iCloud for Apple Mail on different macs

Hello,
Is there a way to setup iCloud as the storage for my Apple Mail folders? I'd like to use the same mail folders on different macs.
Would they be available offline (as would be with imap email synchronization)?
Thanks in advance,
Francis

And if there's no iCloud folder nor entry in the Mailbox List window what should I do?
I do see a heading for MobileMe and GoogleMail, but nothing for iCloud.
Your computer's OS is too old for iCloud, 10.7.2 is the minimum and you have something in the 10.6's (I would guess)
or
You have a compatible computer but never set iCloud up.
Which is it?
