How do I turn off subtitles on my Apple TV 1st Gen?

Every movie I try to watch on my Gen 1 Apple TV has subtitles.  It is very distracting and I don't know how to turn them off.  I have been through every menu and still can't figure it out.  Does any one have any in put?

Are these purchased movies from itunes?
If not and you've got them from someone else the subtitles may be 'burned in' to the image.
If from iTunes have a look through Settings options to disable subtitles (I think), alternatively try holding select on remote whilst playing to see if the extra options allow subtitles on/off.
Soft subtitles should not normally play by default.

  • How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?

    How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.

    Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
    From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
    "If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
    But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
    I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
    To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck!

  • How do you turn off the voice on a video while keeping the background music on?

    I have to watch an exercise video for training. You are supposed to be able to turn on and off the voice by going to the computer icon and toggle the voice on/off. However, that feature isn't on my ipad or ipod. How do I turn off the voice while keeping the music on?

    Hello. I am trying to watch a digital video exercise video in ITunes on my ipad and iPod. I am able to turn the voice on/off when I am watching the videos in iTunes on my Mac Pro, but I can't figure out how to on this feature. I saw it done on a YouTube video. i tried to follow the instructions but the voice on/off doesn't show under settings or under audio-subtitles.

  • How do you turn off captions in Netflix app?

    How do you turn off captions (subtitles) in the Netflix app on a 3rd generation Apple TV? I went to: Settings > General > Accesabiity in the main Apple TV menu and it shows that the subtitles are off. There is apparently an independent setting for subtitles in the Netflix app, but I am not able to find it. An ideas?

    If they are part of the video, which sounds like is the case, then you can not turn them off.  While the content in question is playing hold down the select button.   It will bring up a menu to let you select what ever caption options are avialble.  If there are no options they are part of the video and can not be turned off.

  • TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?

    I am unhappy with iCloud for a number of reasons. I want to go back to backing up my music to an external HD, storing music on my devices, and turn off iCloud.
    How do I turn off iCloud? I have iTunes on a PC.
    THANKS

    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

    Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

    Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

  • How do I turn off computer monitor when watching DVD movie on TV monitor?

    I think this is really a Leopard question because it involves setting up 2 monitors in System Preferences within OSX. 1) I have a wide screen TV connected to my iMac (Intel White Late 2006) through the Mini-DVI port and a separate audio cable. This connection works fine. 2) The purpose of the TV screen is only to watch DVDs using the DVD player and iDVD in my iMac. 3) In System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement, both my computer monitor and the TV screen appear as separate monitors. I have the setting to mirror each other. With this setting, the DVD movie plays on both the iMac computer screen and on the TV screen. 4) FINALLY, MY QUESTION: When watching a DVD on the TV screen, I would like to turn off the monitor in my iMac so that the screen is dark (in sleep mode to save power, etc.); I want only the TV screen to display the movie. How do I turn off only the iMac screen? Thank you. Dale

    That's impossible. It can only be done on a laptop but not on an iMac.

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

  • HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
    REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
    JM

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

    How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

    Hi,
    Open the Messages app.
    Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
    Select the account pane in the Preferences.
    Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
    This can be unticked.
    This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
    First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
    The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
    Messages is a  Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
    Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
    This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
    I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.
