Having trouble streaming a movie to apple tv - please help

I have a movie in the .dv format that i have taken from my time capsule to Itunes - I can play it in itunes on my macbook- i can not stream or sync the movie to atv - the closest i came was when a message came up that "apple tv did not sync the movie because it can not play the movie" once again I can play the movie without problem on itunes. I thought i was computer smart but this apple tv thing makes me feel really stupid

AppleTV does not plays dv files.
It basically needs things to be in MP4 or h264 foramat:
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
Go to squared5.com, download MPEGStreamclip and use that to convert DV to h264, you might try handbrake too, though I can't remember if it handles dv.
Things that play in iTunes don't necessarily plly on AppleTV.

  • I am having trouble downloading my movies purchase.  can anyone help me?

    I am having trouble downloading my movie purchase.  Can anyone help me?

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Having trouble streaming Donkey Kong or Mame and need help!

    I'm having trouble trying to stream my Mame program or Donkey Kong game on this program and not sure how to!  I looked under streaming apps and this one came up!  I have been having trouble trying to use the OBS project program and won't let me stream my Donkey Kong game that well!  If I could get some help in how to do this!  :-). 

    I'm using Windows 7 and I'm using Twitch to stream.  I was told I can use Ustream but I'm not sure how to use that program for Donkey Kong streaming either.

  • I am having trouble with the jQuery tabs browser. Please help!!!!!!!!

    I inserted the jQuery tabs browser and it is not working properly. I was just testing it so I haven't changed some of the coding yet or the wording. The problem is that when I test it in live view it shows actual tabs but when I look it up on the remote server it shows the word tab and then has paragraphs under each word. I want the tabs. Not sure what to do. Anybody please help. I am getting very close to my launch date. Thank you ahead of time.

    I am having the same problem and have contacted Canon, they've answered me several times with things to try but nothing they've told me to try helps. It looks like they are going shrug, scratch their heads soon and  pass the buck to Microsoft or HP my comp make .
    I have a Windows 8.1 OS, 64 bit comp.

  • HT202157 anyone having trouble with renting movies with Apple TV?

    Not sure what to do,  can't seem to rent on Apple TV tonight.  Netflix is working and Itunes on my MAC is working.  I can always plug Mac to sound system but....  Anyone out there ith same trouble today.
    BTW:
    I restarted AppleTV
    I plug/unplugged (the godd old alt/del)

    I appreciate you trying to help. However, I have NO idea how to check for a '3rd party DNS'. As I said, it worked flawlessly on Monday. Wouldn't that mean I was corrected properly?
    I went to Apple TV support and in answer to rentaing movies it referred me with a link to this:
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
    This is a link FROM the Apple TV page. So I should have 30 days to watch the movie. Under Settings is a "Search for rented movies" option. Isn't that where you would find your rentals that you have not watched yet?
    It's not that I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just do not have a CLUE how to provide what you are asking for.
    Thanks.

  • Having trouble with icloud on my Iphone 4, please help!

    It keeps telling me to accept the new terms and conditions in order to use icloud, but whenever i hit "view terms" it takes me no where. I deleted and signed back into my icloud account twice and shut my phone off twice. I just deleted the account all together but the error STILL POPS UP! I can't get rid of it! Since have everything backed up on my computer so i don't really need it. Is there any way to get rid of icloud and this pop up?

    So, after tinkering a bit bit with everything again I finally got it to work.  For anyone having the same issue as me, here is what I did to fix my problem...
    1) Power everything fully off (router, modem, iPhone, and unplug AE)
    2) With everything fully powered down, wait about 15-30 seconds to make sure everything properly resets
    3) Plug in your wireless router and wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation
    4) When your router is fully up, plug in your AE and wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation (should see solid green light to confirm it has joined the wireless network)
    5) When AE is fully up and operational, plug in your modem and again wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation
    6) Now that everything else has been reset and rebuilt from the ground up, power on you iPhone
    7) When you go into your music player, you should see the airplay icon and can now stream media through your AE.
    ....hopefully this will work for you, though it is kind of a pain to power up one at a time and waiting in between.  Please still post if you know of a more efficient way to accomplish this task!

  • Having trouble exporting mpeg2 files from FCP 3 - please help me!

    I haven't made a DVD for a little while, in the meantime have upgraded my operating system from 10.3 to 10.4 and am completely up to date with QT etc. I have Final Cut Pro 3, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 and Quicktime 7.3. The problem now is that when I try to export my edited video as mpeg2 from FCP, FCP immediately quits- I just can't figure it out... it leaves a file icon in the destination folder but apparently the error in the crash report means that I'm trying to write to a read only destination!?

    got any ideas?

    Can you use DVDSP to do the encoding for you?
    FCP3 was really not intended to be run from Tiger, in fact, I believe it will not install on a clean 10.4 disk.

  • Having trouble with condenser microphone and Logic Pro. please help

    I purchased a condenser microphone that runs only with phantom power. I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface and have an XLR to USB plugged into my computer, when i go to logic audio preferences it doesnt show that the microphone is even connected (ive checked input and output). Ive even tried it on other programs and i still get nothing. Please Help.

    I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface
    What phantom interface is this, make and model.
    XLR to USB plugged into my computer
    What is this? Just a cable?
    What microphone is it?
    Trying to get an idea of your signal chain as, in your original post, your signal chain makes little sense. Do you have an audio interface or is that the phantom power interface you are referring to? A microphone isn't an interface and a mic, in itself, won't show up in Logic prefs (unless it was a USB mic, which it is not).

  • Im having trouble with SDK Version 1.3 someone please help

    I downloaded it and installed it, when I go to javac or compile the thing it says "Bad Command or filename" However it will Java it but there's no use in that if I can't javac it. Anyone have a solution to this?

    Set your path by editing your autoexec.bat file (copy it b4 you change it for safety sake) on win98 or from control panel on NT.
    Have a look at
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
    Its a step by step lesson on getting things like path and classpath (you prob dont have to set classpath ) set for windows or linux or macs so you dont have to do something like the following each time you want to compile something
    or do this on windows 98
    C:\jdk1.3.0_1\bin\javac YourProgramName.java
    (you understand that C:\jdk1.3.0_1\bin\javac should be whatever the path is to javac on your machine)

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Since Mavericks was installed I amd having trouble streaming and the fan kicks in and stays on when I am watching stream in features

    Since I installed Mavericks I am having trouble streaming and the fan turns on and stays on shortly into watching a film on line.
    Also the screen breaks up  into lines and colors with no image in the middle of viewing a film sometimes several tomes.

    Hi Mudra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your fan is running and you're noticing video issues when streaming video, I'd suggest first trying to reset your system, as described in this article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    All the best,
    Jeremy
