Does a purchased movie stream over the net or from my Mac?

If I buy a movie from iTunes on my Mac and watch it on the AppleTV is it streaming from the iTunes Store or from my hard drive?
Does it matter if I start the movie from the Movies/Purchased section or from the Computers/Movies section of the ATV?

If you choose it from computers > movies, it streams from your computer.
If you choose movies > purchased, it streams from the iTunes Store (via the internet)

Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

Can anyone advise on how to share large files over the net?

Hi all.
So I need to share large video files over the net.
The files will be between 5 and 10 GB
Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have been using my ftp program and just giving the recipient the download link.
But its affecting my upload quota and the recipients download quaota with our ISP's.
Is there an easier way at all?
Thanks.

Contact the ISP for a temporary exception on the quota, or to get an explanation of how long before you can send a second segment for the download. You can split large downloads by UUEncoding them, or making separate disk image segments with Disk Utility. You could also find out if any local WiFi hotspots don't have a quota issue. Lastly, you could send a thumbdrive by mail.

What is the ipad2 activation code to use in viewing NETFLIX instant view DVDs over the net?

Where do I find the activation code to be able to watch NETFLIX streaming DVDs over the net??

I get the statement "streaming on this device is not supported on your plan". My plan includes 'unlimited streaming' using the IPAD2 app.

Just to confirm: are you sure you entered the correct account info on the iPad? (Some of my client's have more than one Netflix account.) Then try resetting the iPad. That often "fixes" many issues. After that, you'll probably need to contact Netflix support to confirm that you do have streaming. Otherwise possibly restoring your iPad so that it'll wipe the existing Netflix config, so you can re-enter it again.

I try to generate a chm file over the net and I get a compiling error message

Hi all,
I am trying to generate chm files over the net, and the same project when I am generating the same chm locally works fine, however when I am attempting to generate the same chm on a network location, it gives me a compiling error and aborts the generation. It is also keeping the chm file open afterwards, so I have to reboot the machine.
It is RH7 working on a Windows XP Pro 32 bit.
Thank you

It is not a project issue. RoboHelp is just not designed to work that way but like a lot of things, some people can use them outside what they were designed for. However, just because some people can work that way, it does not follow everyone can.
I've seen people with projects on a network and they say have been doing it for years so it must be OK. A while later they come back and say the problem is fixed since moving it locally.
Sorry but it looks like you are stuck with working the way you do or getting your colleague to do it. It might be as simple as he is on a different bit of your network.

RTP Streaming over the internet

Having some problems streaming over the internet - probably because im doing it wrong.
I can stream over a network fine using Transmit2.java.
But when i try over the internet cant pick up the stream.
Im using www.whatismyip.com to get the internet IP of the 2 computers im trying to stream to and from - and using these in the code, but nothing happens.
Help?

That means your computer is not publically addressably by it's IP address alone. You'll need to do something called a "NAT holepunch", which you can look up online. Also, I've included two links to discussions I've had with people about the same issue.

In iTunes, with you iPad plugged in, did you make sure the "Sync Movies" box is checked?

Screen moves all over the place

Out of no where my screen now moves all over the place. The width has become shorter and the height as become much larger. I have a magic mouse when I move it to the left the screen moves to the right and verse a versa. I have a early 2008 macpro 3.1, 6gb memory, 2.8 ghz and nvidia geforce 8800 gt 512mb. Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening, please help.
Much Appreciated
Thank You

You have probably accidentally turned on Zoom, a feature in Universal Access. I did this to myself yesterday.
The usual solution is to enter
System Preferences > Universal Access ... pane and shut it off. But I found mine was not enabled, so I could not just turn it off.
I had to enable it, use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and then all the way out, then shut it off. That cured it.

Back To My Mac: Anyone get it to work over the net?

I can't. It works fine on my home network, an apple extreme and several expresses. But over the net it doesn't work at all. I've tried both from work, and also by logging on to my neighbor's airport network. in both cases, the icon for my home iMac disappears.
I downloaded the guide from the Apple site for BTMM and followed the instructions, but nothing seems to work.
Anybody have any luck with this? than

Do both routers have to be configured correctly? Both the router you're sending from, and the router your mac that's being controlled is talking to? I thought it was just the later...
<<Even if these routers do support one of these protocols and have this support enabled, odds are good your office's firewall is simply going to block any traffic it doesn't recognize. Similarly, unless your neighbor has agreed to let you configure his or her router as you please, I would not expect this to work, either. >>

Report Generation over the net?

is there ANYTHING out ther for this? (ie crystal reports designer)
i want to add something to create ad hoc reports over the internetweb, but from what i can see there is nothing out there that is a "viable" solution.
am i going to have to develop something by myself? if so what do you think the best approach would be, javascript? perhaps flash?
i must stay away from anything that is IE centric, for obvious reasons
thanks.

We use jfreechart. It is not as fully featured but it does the job for us and is free.

Nokia - Firmware over the net and over the air gen...

Don't know if anyone else noticed this, it came out quietly as far as I can see, but now nokia are offering firmware upgrades to N series devices over the net (and over the air if you've an N80). See here http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/softwareupdate . A stroke of genius as far as I'm concerned.
As an aside, this also puts the latest firmware for Orange on the N70, and gives you an option to disable the dreaded "Homescreen of Death". Doesn't get active standby back though unfortunately.

No N80 support at this time though.
I'm keeping my eyes peeled though....

Screen sharing over the net. Is it possible.

I was wondering if someone with screen sharing abilities could help out. I was wondering. Is it possible to share screens over the net. For example, my mom is like a 100 miles away. Running Leopard. How could I access her screen so that I could show here what to do. Heres the states, her computer has a router. My computer has a router. How can we sharing screens. Where would be long into and how. I know of the program in System/corservices/screensharing When I click it it asks for host. I dunno if that was the right way to go but any help here would be amazing. Thank oyu.

It is possible apparently, but if there is a router in the equation, that may well cause problems. If your Mom is using a Mac, this screen sharing facility is also available via iChat.

How do i transfer files between two macs over the net (FTP)

Hi,
Couldn't find a thread like this, apologies if its been discussed already recently, I'm trying to enable two iMacs both Intel, both running 10.4.10 to be able to swap files (quite large 350MB) over the net just using Tiger.
We both have .Mac accounts but the files only upload properly to our iDisk 1 out of 3 times and its getting annoying, I basically want my mate to be able to drag a file off my HD onto his via the net using no other programs just Tiger, is this possible?
If not, what's the best free program to use.
Thanks

You'll have to get an FTP client as the Finder only reads, not writes to an FTP server. I can't suggest a free one. You will also need to open your computers up to the world. If you don't know how to do that, search for Port Forwarding and your particular router. You'll have to open up port 21 for FTP.
Plain old FTP is not very secure, so you shouldn't leave it open all the time. SFTP is Secure FTP, and you can use Fugu to use it. You'll still need to set up Port forwarding, but you can pick whatever port number you want. Fugu lets you pick the port number. You should set up standard users on each machine and make a sftpTransfer folder in the /Users/Shared/ folder. This will allow each of you to access the files. sftp allows anyone to see the directory structure, but still maintains the permissions from OS X. So, as standard users, you can look into each other's Home folder, but you won't be able to get into the subfolders or transfer files to or from any unshared locations.
By the way, I wrote an entire post describing how to use sftp from the command line before I decided to look for a client app for you. Then I found Fugu and changed it all.
Edit:
I forgot to mention you must turn on Remote Login in the sharing pane, and you'll have to use port 22 as this is the only one Mac OS allows remote connections on.
