How do I get a slideshow from aperture to play on apple tv?

I can't figure out how to send a slideshow created in aperture to apple tv. Any clues would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello William
You would need to export and send the slideshow to iTunes. Once hat is done, make sure that Home Sharing is turned so you can then find the movie in the Computer app and select your computer and find the video there to be played on your Apple TV

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV?

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV? I already have the correct cable cord, but all I can see on my TV is the start-up screen.

Your videos are saved in Photos. There is no storage capability in the Apple TV. You can only view them by streaming the videos via Air Play. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I don't know which iPad you have so this may not apply but if you want transfer your videos to your iPad follow the steps in this article: iMovie for iOS (iPad): Transfer video and photos between devices

How do i get video out to connect to aprojector

How do I get video out of my Ipod touch(4th gen) to connect to my projector. I have the correct cable and the projector work fine when connected to my laptop, mirrors the creen correctly But I cannot get an output from my Ipod.Cheers

hi
I think I have found the app, I was not seeing the obvious, so I can now play videos on the Ipod itself. With regards the cable it is a Dexim unit which plugs into the long Ipod socket on the base.From that unit there is a cable terminated with jackplugs.One end into the dexim unit another into the projector. As I said it worked fine on a 2nd generation, I just played the video on the 2G Ipod and it came thru onto the projector. Hence my thought that it was a setting and/or app on the 4thG Ipod.
Again many thanks for all your help, at least it is improving my knowledge of Ipod
Cheers
PS started with the ipod download guide but the problem isnt addressed hence my plea on this forum.
PPS I've emailed Dexim to see if just in case the unit I have isn't compatible with 4thg Ipod for some reason

How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
Glossary For This FAQ
This bit is designed for clarity.
Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
What is needed
At the Mac end
A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
(hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
At the PC end
1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
Between both of you.
At least one camera (Mac end)
A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
Other tweaks
For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
To Start
You should now be able to chat to each other.
If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
Summary
For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.

I have an Iphone 5 How do I get videos to my WIndows 7 Pro PC

I have an Iphone 5 How do I get videos to my WIndows 7 Pro PC. Only photos move through Icloud to my PC. Seems like they are stuck on my iphone.
Need help
Thanks

Windows 7 will download video just fine via the USB cable and your Import utility on the computer. Connect the device to the computer and it should open Auto Play and provide you a selection to import photos and video. The video would be saved in whatever location you have set up in Auto Play. Generally the default is the Video Library.

How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it. Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

How can I get videos from iTunes US, living in Switzerland?

Hi guys =)
I have already pre-ordered the iPod Touch and alomost can't wait until the 2nd October =P
Well, I am a big fan of Dr House and Desperate Housewives. I saw that I cannot buy videos on the swiss iPod Store.
I wanted to know how I could get videos from the US iTunes Store. Is that possible? And if it is do I need a credit card or a gift card?
Hope it'll be clear enough... Usually I don't explain the things very clearly =P
Thanks for your help

Deggie - what is better fraud or theft? To get video content on my iPod Touch I'm going to have to resort to one or the other. Your ethical advice would be appreciated....I spent 500 EUR on this, now I want my money's worth.

Hi. How do I get video to autoplay in Ibook Author?

You are going to have to give us a lot more information than that. We need to know what MacBook Pro you have. What version of OSX (these things should be in your profile). What are you trying to do. What program. What kind of video. We are completely incapable of guessing what's going on, so if you want an answer, you need to give us information.
