G4 iMac won't play downloaded HD TV show.  Is there a way to play SD?

Hello.
I downloaded an HD version of one of my favorite TV shows and it came with the SD bundled version for my iPod. Unfortunately, the processor in my G$ iMac won't render the HD version on my computer. It freezes up. Is it possible to watch the SD version on my iTunes video window, or do I have to search for and download the SD version separately? If so, where do I find the SD versions?
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Andy

I'd suggest not purchasing the HD version since you cannot watch it.
Is it possible to watch the SD version on my iTunes video window
iTunes prefs -> Playback. Tick *Playback TV shows using SD version*.

    Yes.  You can set restrictions.

  • I've just rented a movie on iTunes, and I tried to start it before the download finished, and now even though it has finished when I try to play it nothing happens. Is there a way to reload it without paying again??

    I'm not convinced that starting it before it was downloaded has anything to do with it, you should be able to do that. I'd try restarting the computer and if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History.

  • In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

    Mike:
    If you want to do a little more that string several songs together, i.e. like cutting out the lead in and out, overlapping, etc. you can try Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder. Always be sure to work with copies of your audio tracks.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I have a new sound bar that I plug my phone into through the headphone jack. I also have a bluetooth speaker that I want to play through as well. Is there anyway I can play to both devices at once?

    I have a speaker that I am connecting through my headphone jack but I have a bluetooth speaker in another room that I want to play through as well. Is there anyway I can play to both speakers at once? I saw another post on line that suggested going to the Audio MIDI setup and adding additional output devices. The problem is, I see that on my computer but nothing for my iphone. Can this work? I have also seen things for airplay and of course this is all making my mind fuzzy. Help!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

    I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
    How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
    It said :
    "To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
    The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
    The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
    The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
    Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
    Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
    " <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
    <<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
    <</a> "
    (I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)
    How to do these with iweb?

  • Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

    Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
    A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    AimeeLove,
    I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
    Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
    12 = 0
    1 = 250
    2 = 500
    3 = 750
    4 = 1000
    5 = 1250
    6 = 1500
    7 = 1750
    8 = 2000
    9 = 2250
    10 = 2500
    11 = 2750
    In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
    myVar = setInterval(function(){
         var pos = sym.getPosition();
         if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
              sym.stop(0);
              clearInterval(myVar);
    },10);
    When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
    In the mouseout section, put this...
    sym.play();
    clearInterval(myVar);
    It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
    Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
    Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
    Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
    Fred

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Is there a way to play a trufire app on a laptop?

    Purchased 'app' erroneously - didn't realize it was an app until I couldn't find the purchase in iTunes. Is there a way to play this truefire app thru iTunes, or burn it to a disc or somehow get access to the info?

    Not really - your best approach from this point is to change your password, make sure there are no other administrator users on the computer (System Preferences - Accounts/Users and Groups), and add a firmware password so that the computer cannot be restarted from another source (don't forget this password, or you will not be able to reinstall the OS or boot from an external drive).
