    When you say tit only sees your music folder, are you saying it only sees your music folder or does it see other empty folders.

  • How do i play .mov files

    Hi
    I suspect that this has been asked before, but how do I now play .mov files. I created some movies a few years ago for teaching purposes and need to use them again. However, neither iMovie nor Quicktime seem to recognise/support the .mov format.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Don

    Are you saying that there are settings that I can adjust to let current versions of Quicktime/iMovie/iTunes play the files, or do I need to use another programme to convert the files into a current form that will be recognisable to current standards?
    I am saying that we have no idea what codec components were used to create the original files. (I.e., the MOV file container is like a bottle, can, cup, glass, or other container that can be filled with any liquid, solid, or gas that can be fit into it.) For instance, if were created as Windows Media Video files and copied to an MOV file container, then you would need Flip4Mac components installed on your system. If they were created using DivX, XviD, 4IVX or similar codecs, then you would need to update those codecs or remove them and install the Perian codec package. MOV files containing muxed MPEG-2 video would require installation if the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component. FLV content in an MOV file container could be played with the Perian package installed. If the files were created using one of FCP "Pro" components, then those same codecs must be installed on the platform on which you wish to play the files now. And so on down the line of "legacy" and third-party codec compression formats which may or may not be spported by the latest versions of QT which tend to concentrate on newer technologies that support HD compression formats.
    What I am saying is that without knowing what codec components were used to create the original file, it is impossible to tell whether you simply need to install currently available components that will allow you to play the files in the QT X, QT 7, use a third-party player like VLC for playback, or whether you would have to re-compress the files that target codecs no longer available for current hardware/software system configurations. Further, I am saying that the first step in solving a playback problem is to clearly define the specific problem in terms of the file container, compression format(s) involved, data characteristics as specified by Inspector, Media, Finder, or third-party utility windows or providing a sample file for analysis if you cannot determine this information on your own.

  • HT2729 HOW COME ICAN PLAY MOVIE FROM ITUNES ON TV FROM LAPTOP BUT NO AUDIO?

  • How to automatically play movies

    I have the setting in Player Preferences selected to Play Movies Automatically under the Browser tab. But, the video will not play unless you click on the play button.
    Any info appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi - my notes on this.
    Play all resp one chapter at a time
    Play All Button 
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in hight. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
    3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
    Summary
    a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
    b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

  • White Screen When Trying to Play Movies / TV Shows Downloaded via AppleTV

    Very frustrating, consistent issue with downloading movies or TV shows via AppleTV. Almost always results in a blank white screen with no sound and no video playing. No matter how many times I stop the video from playing, exit back out to the main menu, and restart the show, the white screen persists. The only thing that seems to fix it is to manually unplug the AppleTV, wait for 10+ sec, and then replug it in. Once AppleTV restarts, then I am able to watch the specific show I had been trying to watch. HOWEVER, the problem resurfaces as soon as I move onto the next movie or TV show.
    Any suggestions on how to end this uber-annoying cycle?? I have all of the latest software downloaded. I have disconnected my iTunes library from AppleTV and then re-paired / re-synced the two (iTunes and AppleTV), and I have even tried resetting my AppleTV to factory settings (although given the volume of content I like to keep on my AppleTV, this leads to incredibly long timeframes to re-sync my AppleTV with my iTunes library). Any thoughts / suggestions / miracles would be hugely appreciated. THANKS!!!

    Hi
    Can't help you I am afraid, but I can tell you that you are not alone. Keep having exactly the same problem. Rented a Movie this evening and had to pull the plug half way through the download to be able to start and watch it.
    I do have the Apple TV connected through a HDMI switch and wondered if it may be copy protection HDCP or something so was going to try it on component when I find my set of cables.
    Will let you know the outcome

  • HT4743 My TV will play movies purchased from itunes via apple tv but not tv shows..why ? thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • How do I play my iPhone 5 music via blue tooth on my car stereo

    I can play my iPhone 4 music via blue tooth on my car stereo. My iPhone 5 can connect to my car and I can make calls on my car's system. But I can't play music  what to do ?

    Consult the manual for the car kit. Put it into pairing (discoverable) mode, then go to Settings>General>Bluetooth, turn it on, and pair them.

  • How can I play movies-MacPro-to my TV?

    Hello
    I need some "simple" help regards playing QT movies directly from my Mac Pro to my TV.
    Up until now, I have taken a arduous crazy route: I copy a movie to an external firewire drive; then connect that drive to my laptop (an older G4). Then I connect the laptop to my even older VCR, because it has RCA plug import/export ports - and that VCR is connected to my TV.
    Like I said, crazy!
    I have been scouring the forums and keep reading about Radeon and ATI but I am at a loss as to how to match up what I have with what I am reading about.
    When I use System Profiler, and select Hardware - Graphics/Displays. I see "NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT" at the top of the list. Beyond that, I'm dumb.
    My TV is fairly new and has many ports for input. (Not sure which to tap into for my purposes).
    I do have an Apple DVI to Video Adapter-for my laptop.
    I don't know if I can use that to connect my Mac Pro (via RCA plugs or S-Video) to my TV.
    When I search I mostly get wrong info - that is, no matter how I enter Mac Pro, I get back MacBook Pro.
    But I do get some helpful info, as such: Use the DVI to Video Adapter to connect the DVI port on a Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT), MacBook Pro, or Mac mini to any S-video or Composite enabled device."
    But...Duh. That brings me back up to the top of this post.
    I try. Sometimes I succeed. And sometimes I just hope someone else has figured it out and is willing to help.
    noodlehead confoun..ddeD

    Yo Noodle-head,
    I hope you get this message. Ya man, I have the same issue with Mac Pro-->Nvidia video card-->Apple DVI to video adapter kit-->s-video/composite cable-->my 20" TV-->watch my movies!!
    I have done extensive research, spoken to tech reps at both Nvidia AND Apple, and I'm still terribly frustrated.
    Basically, what I keep reading is that only ATI cards, not Nvidia cards, are able to DO TV using the DVI-->video adapter-->TV setup. However, every tech rep I've spoken to says it SHOULD work, but that they couldn't tell me why it won't. Additionally, the manual for my Nvidia card (the GeForce 8800 GT for Mac -- an upgrade model for pre 2008 Mac Pros -- not the same model that you use, but the same manufacturer, and I've come to believe that's what counts) states explicitly that the DVI-I port on this card (supports analog out) is *designed to work* with the Apple DVI to video adapter kit, purchased from the Apple store. /palmface
    OK, so the Nvidia tech rep whom I spoke with was as baffled as I am, but he was willing to confirm an alternative solution: http://www.svideo.com/vga2videosmall.html My card shipped with a DVI-->VGA adapter, so this seems like a fairly sure-shot solution (DVI-->VGA adapter-->VGA to composite video and s-video converter-->TV). I'll likely return my Apple adapter and buy this device, though it costs more.
    So, to conclude, have you come up with a functional solution, separate from your circuitous laptop-->vhs-->TV route since you posted, lol? I share your sentiment that, short of buying an Apple TV, this should be much simpler!

  • How do I play movie in iTunes on my TV?

    I don't have Apple TV but in the past, I've been able to play a movie I made myself on my monitor that also is a TV (i.e., my Sony Trinitron TV). I tried out the video rental thing in iTunes and I canNOT get it to display on my TV monitor. Yes, I have the right cable and I can play stuff from my iPod on my TV but not from my Mac. I want to use my Mac to be able to use the remote control that came with it. This is really frustrating. What's the trick or is it impossible? I don't have the budget to go buy Apple TV and I don't have the modern up to date type of TV it requires. Help!

    Check out this Apple article -> Using AirPlay
    Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer
    To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
    Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Open iTunes (10.2 or later).
    Locate and click the icon in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes application.
    Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears, and begin playback.
    Note: The images of a TV screen or speaker next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.
    Do you see the Denon when you click the AirPlay icon in the lower right corner of iTunes?

  • How do i play movies from my ipod on my sony bravia tv

    how do i transfer and replay movies on my sony bravia tv from my ipod classic

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • How do I play movies from me external hardrive?

    My movies wont play with quicktime. What do I need to install to be able to watch movies??

    Try installing Perian (http://perian.org/) and/or VLC Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). Perian will enable Quicktime Player to work with a greater variety of different files. And VLC Player is another piece of software that can handle many of the common movie formats.
