Day 2 with ATV, may need advice.

iPhoNettie wrote:Apple Genius-tried syncing thru ethernet cable
I need to know if this is possible with ethernet cable only between ATV/MacPro vs Airport wireless.
I've spent hours with this 32gb ATV to just load and it's been nothing but long hours.
One trick that will not work.
Macpro is mainly using ethernet cable to the wireless access 24/7.
I leave his airport off.
I'm on day two of the first attempt at using ATV, it has been sitting for a year never used.
This all started yesterday with a members advice using ATP, vs iPhone connected to RXv3900.
What a Great iDea.
I turned Airport on the MacPro. Not sure why I did. In the end, you need to.
Plug in ATV, and started in last night. Noticing it's Quite slow on Airport.
Discovered there is no real-time status of the load you checked/selected in iTunes to know if it's too much.
Sure enough at present, the 5th time of de-selecting is to make room again.
At 50 something, we have a set logic that's hardened.
If dishwasher is full & ready, do you unload/reload complete to add one item?
Apparently Apple does.
There maybe an update that is needed.
It's not showing up by default or where to access if there is.
ATV finally finished with 8.5Gb free. I'll see if update is found.
Still very reluctant to do update with ATV actually working.
Getting to the chase here, can ATV & MacPro be direct linked w/ethernet cable?
One test I just tried while ATV was loading again, I shut Airport off on the MacPro.
ATV immediately disconnected from iTunes. Whoops.
My test was to see if ATV would still get through to Mac wirelessly by accessing wifi MacPro is wired to. Nope.
Is this telling me I don't need Comcast's wifi to connect the 2? ATV/MacPro only for loading ATV.
Can ATV connect it's path directly to MacPro's Airport? Skipping Comcast's wifi.
I guess my final question is/ can ATV connect to MacPro with only angry twisted copper wire?
Also, is there any advantage with MacPro on ethernet cable and Airport on at the same time?
I see no results either way.
I hope my versing is with some accuracy.
I'm not up on the latest politically correct lingo.
For sure of one thing, a 1Tb drive is on it's way for a new mission.
For the first time, I'm viewing trailers on ATV, and I have Airport shut off on MacPro.
This is good. I was afraid up to this point.
Thanks'

Yes they should provided you've registered the AppleTv to sync with iTunes on the Mac Pro account - do you remember setting AppleTV to connect to iTunes by entering a 5 digit code in iTunes from AppleTV?
Yes, I have performed all the loading of ATV by wireless from iTunes from the MacPro.
This simple ethernet connection should just work to sync from previous reports.
This will be great. The main reason is to take ATV to the cabin or shop with no internet access.
This should work if all you're doing is syncing and then putting the AppleTv back where you want to use it.
However, if you want to connect by ethernet all the time, then the direct connection to the Mac Pro will not allow AppleTV to access the internet for various store/photo/YouTube features or to authorise playback of some iTunes Store material/rentals etc, unless you've configured internet sharing over the Mac Pro ethernet port and the Mac Pro is connected to the internet either via it's other ethernet port or wireless.
Thank You, it's not a priority to access these features with ATV.
Your best bet is to have AppleTv connect to a router to see the internet itself and to see the Mac Pro on the local network.
Great, and I really appreciate your quick reply.
Have a Great Day.

Doc Project with format confusion- need advice

I have a documentary project with a plethora of footage formats because the doc spans a long length of time and different project collaborators. We just shot more footage and I don't want to move forward converting the new footage until I know the best path to take form here on out. please advise.
Here is the info.
Below i'm listing the descritption of footage, the format, and the % I'm predicting it will be used in the final edit of the documentary I'm working on.
Archival Footage: DV NTSC 720x480 (10%)
Original footage shot: DV NTSC 720x480 anamorphic (40%)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Panasonic HVX200: DVCPRO HD 720p60 29.97 (35% shared with canon 7D footage listed below)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Canon 7D: shot 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square. I converted this footage to 720p60 29.97 to match the Panasonic footage but I still have the original files saved. (35% shared with hvx200 footage listed above)
New Footage shot with Canon 7D: 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square (15%)
Timelines:
- I edit the SD footage in timelines with SD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- I edit the HD footage in timelines with DVCPRO HD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- when footage of both formats ends up in one 'scene' the timeline is DV NTSC 720x480
- when I output a rough cut, I nested sequences and output DV NTSC 720x480
I have not converted the new footage yet and before I do convert it and then transform continue editing, I feel I need to re-evauluate how I'm approaching the multi-format situation. I need advice about the best path to take from here on out. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Should I upconvert the SD footage and do everything HD from now on? The final cut will probably be 50% SD and 50% HD with possibly more HD than SD.
If I do upconvert and go HD, is 720p60 29.97 the best format for me to use considering my footage sources? If you have any ideas, please also explain how you might go about carrying them out.
Thank you!

Exactly, whic is why I'm seeking advice. the final delivery will be film festival screenings and hopefully broadcast, and considering the channels today that = HD.
That's not a final decision at all, that's a series of delivery options. You must produce your project in the highest resolution for which you have space, codecs and techniucal competency.You will save that as the "final" but I'd not call it that since nothing is ever finalized. Jsut keep naming the versions. Then you will open the full rez version and use any of several conversion or compresiona apps to satisfy all other distribution needs.
The omst flexible will be a 1080/60 format but that decision will cost you tons of conversion time, lots of space, and will require many stylistic decisions along the way.
That's what I would do but I'm not you and I'm not your client.

Help with "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator

I'm trying to move files from one of my external harddrives to another external harddrive. I keep getting this message "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "Documents". I also get this for other folders I want to move, but not all folders on that drive.
I am the administrator, and it only gives me an "ok" button, no option to enter my name and password again.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem, trying to copy items from external hard disk to another computer on the network. I can copy without problems from external hard disk to my laptop. But not from external hard disk to another computer on the network, and neither from my laptop to another computer on the network, but ONLY if the files I try to copy from my laptop were first copied from that external hard drive. It keeps popping me up with this message. Please help, or fix.

Problem with old mb, need advice what mb to buy

I have a Msi Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt mb that gives my som crackling noise sound when i use the onboard soundcard or use my usb soundcard with a power full gpu, but only when i play games (usb soundcard).
Got a gigabyte Z77X D3H, guess what...... i need a ps2 (mabye an adapter could do it, but i dont have any, it shouldn't be nessery to buy a ps 2 keyboard to get acess to the bios, it has uefi bios.
Asrock extreme 4 also have a uefi bios that i am afread of will give me problems again entering bios again
Both uefi bios look the same so i think it's not much difference between those 2 bios
I want to stay under 120€ incl shipping (live in denmark)
I have tried to use my laptop and phone no anoying sound, but also with my ipg (i5 3570k and a old 8600gt both not at all using alot of power doing games), sound problems happens doing games using a powerfull gpu (lots of power usage) or using onboard soundcard.

I think you're right it sounds like an electrical sound
if you want to change the motherboard like sea dog said look at the MSI catalog to find the one that suits you the most >>HERE<<
personnally I don't know the prices ine Danemark (I buy everything in France) so if you have a link i can try to help,
if it was up to me would take the Z77A-G45-Gaming or GD65-Gaming but if you prefer the normal series i would say GD-55 or GD65 it depends on the prices
PS: for ethical matters i can't speak about other companies in the MSI Forum

Emailing ppt file with xcelsius dashboard - need advice

We have created a live connection to our xcelsius dashboards via LiveOffice, and we use it to load client-specific data into templated charts. We would like to email the pre-loaded powerpoint dashboards to clients and initially planned on using the "Save Scenario" function until we realized that this loaded/saved data is only available locally.
Any workarounds for loading data, saving, and then emailing to an end-user who is unable to connect to BOE?
Thanks.

Hans,
Here is what you can do:
-->Run the dahboard in preview mode
>then goto FileSnapshot-->Current Excel data
-->Save the file
-->Import the saved excel file back into your existing dashboard. (Perhaps you can save (""Save as") your original dashboard and then make changes to the new one)
-->Export the file to PPT
--> Now you will be able to share the dashboard with your end users
P.S. You can remove live office connections configured in the data manager from the New dashboard.
Hope this helps...

Big problems with my account; need advice setting up new one!

Hi - for the last few weeks I’ve been experiencing some weird things on my Mac! Events on iCal can’t be deleted, software keeps forgetting Registration codes so I have to reinput them everytime I launch the app, and other weird things!
I’ve spent many hours on the phone to MobileMe help, and AppleCare none of who have diagnosed the problem.
I’m guessing that some kind of Pref or Library file/folder has thrown a wobbly and is causing general corruption throughout my Account.
Someone suggested creating a new User Account and seeing if the problems do away; this I have done and certainly the iCal problem has disappeared. So, I’m planning on using this new Account from now on. Thing is (despite being logged in as an Admin) there are files from my ‘old’ account that is can’t open ‘cos it says I don‘t have sufficient permissions. Is there a quick/easy way to just allow all my old files to be open/available in my new Account?
Thanks,
andy

Wrong approach. Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

HT1311 Apple ID being used by 3 iphones with challenges. Need advice.

We have 3 iphones in the family and we all use the same Apple ID. We're now getting cross texts and such, should we each set up a separate User ID? Will that mess up Itunes if we all use 1 computer to sync to? Thanks

Thanks, so, I can change the Applie ID for Icloud, iMessage and Facetime but keep the same one for the App Store, is that correct?
Thanks again!

Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
(Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

What OSX version?
Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

I'm desperately needing advice to a common question. I use Quicken and love it. But the Mac version is not as great as the PC.   Has anyone installed it by segmenting their Mac with Parallels or Fusion or Boot camp. If so, which one do you recommend.

I'm desperately needing advice. New Mac.   Used Quicken on my PC. Researched all software for Financial programs and Quicken is still the most recommended.   I want to use Quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is not highly rated so I would need to partition my Mac.   Has anyone done this for their quicken program and if so, which partitioning program did you use - Parallels, Fusion ware or Boot camp?
Thx

Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

Background creation with photo attached of examples. Need advice!

I have been trying to figure this out for the life of me and have come to a road block with it. I have seen it done on numerous occasions by one person who states they are doing it in Elements, but will not give me an answer as to how they are doing it. I am very comfortable with PS CS6 and am by no means a novice with it. I consider myself at least at the intermediate or above level with PS. What I am trying to do is extend my backgrounds without stretching them and having them looked like they have been stretched. If you understand what I am getting at. The photos below represent what I am talking about. The first image is the original image 1024 x 768 and the second image 744 x 1392 is the image that was created from the first image. The background in the second image was created from the first image and for the life of me I have been unable to figure out how. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
