Exporting using apple tv setting squashes picture from 16:9 to 4:3

My project is in pal uk widescreen and when I export using the appletv preset it seems to squash the picture when opened in itunes and quicktime x. When I open it in quicktime 7 it's ok.
With Quicktime x the inspector shows the dimentions as 720 x 576
with Quicktime 7 the inspector shows the dimentions as 1024 x 576 (although in the format it says 720 x 576).
Any suggestions to get it to work right in itunes so it runs correctly on the apple tv please.
Thanks

I found that I had the same problem when exporting to IPhone/IPod. The workaround that worked for me was exporting the movie to Quicktime Movie first and then importing this file into ITunes. Here you can make a version for IPhone/AppleTV etc. that will turn out to be in the correct format. This doesn't explain the underlying problem however.

  • How do  I export a set of pictures from iPhoto to Photos

    My MacBook Pro now has OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app.
    I have over 30K pictures in the iPhoto app in this laptop, and I do not have the need to sync all of these pictures with all of my iOS devices; I won't be using iCloud.
    I was not able to determine if Photos can import sets of pictures from iPhoto; I could have imported all of my pictures from the iPhoto library but did not find out if Photos does have the option to import sets as per user's needs; I saw Photos allow the user to select those he/she wants to import but I don't think I would like to select these one by one from 30K photos.
    I will like to transfer sets of these pictures selected by date taken from iPhoto and export them to Photos library I created in an external volume. I need to free some space in my HD.
    Any suggestions?

    There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.

  • Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality it takes like a whole day for a movie to download before we can watch it

    Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality as it can take a whole day to download a movie before we can watch it??

    The video/audio display settings should set automatically for the best your TV can handle (720p AppleTV2, 1080p AppleTV3).
    The download resolution for rentals or playback of purchases from the cloud is set in settings for iTunes store.
    Sounds as though you have slow internet.  For near instant streaming of video from iTunes store you need around:
    Standard Definition     2.5 Mbps
    720p HD                    6 Mbps
    1080p HD                  8 Mbps
    Any slower for a given quality setting and the movie has to buffer as it can't keep up in real time.  This might be a few minutes if close to the rated speed or many hours, even overnight.
    As pcd251s suggests you could test internet speed (speedtest.net on a computer for example).  If that is fine, sometimes the LAN if on wifi can be extremely slow in certain locations - ethernet connections would troubleshoot that.
    Slow internet is the common issue here.  AppleTV does not have permanent storage and using it to play other content or browse trailers while a rental is buffering can reset the buffering process.   In such cases you might be better off planning in advance, renting in iTunes, letting the whole thing FULLY download and it will then be available across teh LAN to stream from computer to AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals.

  • How can I set up my Apple TV and iPhoto on my iMac so Apple TV can display pictures from iPhoto as a normal slideshow or as a Screen Saver?

    I have an iMac and an Apple TV that is connected to the main iTunes library on the iMac.  My Apple TV is able to find all the music, videos and pictures that are on the iMac's internal hard drive - presumably via iTunes (music and videos) and directly accessing the Pictures folder.  So far, so good!
    Recently, I have had to move a lot of my pictures to an external hard drive - and I had hoped that by 'importing' them into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them on the internal drive), I can still have my Apple TV "find" these pictures via iPhoto - and allow me to browse them as before or use them in my screen-saver.
    However, while I can see them in iPhoto, my Apple TV seems to be unable to find them - and I am unable to see them on my TV.
    So, is this even supported by Apple TV/ iPhoto?  Is there some configuration I am missing?  Or do I just need to boot up everything from scratch?  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you.
    Mahesh

    Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
    So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice.  However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto.  Is that a correct assumption?
    If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
    I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
    Thanks a ton!

  • How do I Sync a set of pictures from iphoto..?

    I am new to Apple TV. Very nice divice and implementation.
    But I do have a question. When I was trying to Sync pictures with iTunes. I get an option to sync Iphoto, but it idoes not let me select which set of pictures to sync. It would be nice to be able to select them by date or category wo whn I view them I do not have to oepn one folder and scroll until I find the picture I want. Is there a way I can syncronize pictures from Iphoto by cetegories, folders or date..?
    Is there a folder where the iPhoto pictures are stored..?
    Thanks

    You don't necessarily need to create albums, you could sync your events by choosing that option in the sync options in itunes. I however prefer albums because there are often photos in the events I don't necessarily wish to get rid of but don't want as part of a slideshow on my tv.
    To create an album in iphoto, you can do one of two things: Create an empty album in the albums section on the LHS of the iphoto window by either using the '+' button in the bottom LH corner or from the file menu and then drag the photos of your choice to it. Or
    Select all the photos you want in an album first and choose either the '+' or the file menu to create the album.
    You can choose to sync these albums from the sync options under the photo tab in the sync options in itunes.

  • How can you disable "set desktop picture" from the finder contextual menu

    I teach high school.  And MUST find a way to keep my students from changing their desktops.
    First I basically got rid of Firefox when it had that feature in the Tiger days.
    Then for Leopard I had to create dummy "locked" Safari Desktop Picture files for all my user accounts so the kids couldn't use Safari to set their desktop pictures.
    NOW I discover (maybe this was here before) Snow Leopard lets you change the desktop right from the Finder itself!  Just right click on any image file and the contextual menu  will give them the option to "set desktop picture".
    Come on Apple, every educator I know has complained about what a distraction and constant battle images are for students who use computers.  While not all students are inappropriate, quite a few are...meaning no one can be allowed the privilege.  Why is this such a huge battle to try and lock down?  Please allow Parental Controls or Server managed preferences to keep our students from being able to change their desktop pictures, ever, at all, from anywhere or any program.
    Does anyone know if this is even possible?

    The only way (I have found) to shut down using Safari's "Use Image as a Desktop Picture" feature is to create a bunch of blank documents that the users have no permission to change (i.e. set permission to only allow, say YOU to read it and no access to write to it for anyone)
    Create a number of these blank documents and rename them
    Safari Desktop Picture.jpg
    Safari Desktop Picture.tiff
    Safari Desktop Picture.gif
    Safari Desktop Picture.jpeg
    Safari Desktop Picture.png
    (you get the point....come up with as many .3 extensions of photo files that you can think of)
    Put these locked and unchangeable files into the following directory of each of your student accounts
    Macintosh HD/Users/~User Name/Library/Safari/
    What this does is create a bunch of dummy files that will "block" Safari (or the system or user) from trying to replace them.  Even though the right click comman will still be there, Safari will not be able to put the picture in the correct part of the system for it to be used as a Desktop Picture.

  • Can I use Apple TV to play iTunes from my iMac on my home stereo?

    How does Itunes from my Imac connect to my home stereo using Apple TV?

    Greetings;
    When you launch the iTunes Application, down in the lower right hand corner, you see an icon and "Speakers".  Select the Apple TV device and iTunes will then use the Apple TV as an external speaker.
    You can also access your iTunes music and movies from the Apple TV menu.  With your iTunes Application open on your computer, select "Computers" from the Apple TV Menu.
    You'll also need to turn ON "Home Sharing" in the iTunes Application.  You can find that setting in the "Advanced" menu option in iTunes.
    Hope this helps!  All the best...and Merry Christmas!

    There is no problem if the second drive is empty.

    i was asking because FAT3 has a limitation in that it will not allow you to copy files larger than 4 GB.

  • HT1918 Can we use apple I'd to purchase from different country iTunes Store

    Hello apple friends

    You can only purchase from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it.
    If there are items that you'd like to buy which aren't currently in your country's store then you could try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the content provider (app developer, record company, film studio etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • EPub export using just a range of pages from inDesign Book

    I've created an ePub Fixed Layout ebook from inDesign 2014.1. I now want to create a summary book for Apple's iBook store, using pages from multiple chapters.
    I know the ePub export dialog has an "Export Range" panel in the "General" tab. When you export from a single inDesign Document, you can either leave it as "All Pages" or chose a Page Range. However, I have an inDesign Book, with a inDesign document per chapter.
    When I do the ePub "Fixed Layout" export, I come to this panel and the option to select a Page Range is disabled, so I can't specify the pages I want. The pages are numbered to follow on from chapter to chapter.
    So, it looks to me like exporting to ePub from an inDesign Book will only allow you to create an ebook from ALL of the pages of the inDesign Book?
    I'd really like to create a summary from multiple chapters, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    Page range for export can only be selected when exporting a document to Fixed Layout ePub. It cannot be done when exporting book to Fixed Layout ePub.

  • Export using UTF8 character set

    Hi,
    My client is having a production database with default character set.
    While exporting I need to export the database to create a dump with UTF8 character set.
    Please let me know how to export with UTF8 option.
    Thanks....

    Hi, I am not sure if I got you correst. Here is what I think I have understood:
    - your client has a db which uses UTF8 as character set.
    - you want to export and make sure that there is no conversion taking place.
    for this you must set NLS_LANG variable in the shell from where you call exp, resp. expdp properly.
    NLS_LANG is composit and consists of:
    NLS_LANGUAGE_NLS_TERRITORY.NLS_CHARACTERSET
    In a bash this would look like this:
    $ export NLS_LANG=american_america.UTF8
    In other shells you might need to first define the varaible and then export:
    $ NLS_LANG=american_america.UTF8
    $ export NLS_LANG
    What you also need to know is that you influence the behavior for decimal separator and grand separator in numeric values and a few more settings by specifying NLS_TERRITORY.
    For instance NLS_TERRITORY uses a "." as decimal separator and a "," as grand separator for numeric values.
    This can be a pitfall! If you have the wrong territory specified then it might destroy all you numerics!
    Hope this helps,

  • Can I use Apple Pay to buy something from a friend who also has Apple Pay?

    I am beginning to think this is not possible because no matter how I ask the question, I get nothing.
    But, can I use my iPhone and my Apple Pay account to buy something from another who also has an iPhone set up with their Apple Pay?
    It seems so simple...but...

    Thanks for the quick and to the point response. Too bad. What a perfect use. Oh well, a perfect and safe implementation neglected. I wish they'd neglected to get rid of the magnetic power connector on the new MacBook too.
