How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:

    Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
    Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.

  • Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

    I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

    If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
    No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.
    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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How do you transfer Pages files from Mac to ipad?

    How do you transfer Pages documents from Mac to Ipad?

    If you have iOS 5 on the iPad and enabled iCloud in Pages, you can go on your Mac and go to http://icloud.com, then click iWork, then click the gear icon and upload the document. It should appear on your iPad.
    If you have an older OS on the iPad, you will need to plug in to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad under DEVICES. Then click on the Apps tab up top. Scroll down until you see a File Sharing section. Click on Pages, then click on the "Add" button.

  • How do you import a movie from a DVD to my Itunes library?

    Hii! I have been using Itunes for 3 months and it just came to me that I want to put a movie that I have on DVD on my ipod. I know that i have to put it in my Itunes first but how do you put your movie in my itunes library?? I have been in all tutorials that I could find but they don't tell me how to do this.
    I need an answer quick! Going on vacation tomorrow!
    Thanx!

    Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
    A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.

  • Quicktime movie from mac to pc, HOW?

    Anyone know the best way to get a high quality, high resolution Quicktime .mov file (created on a macbook pro with Keynote and iMovie HD; h.264 codec) to play from a dvd on as many PC computers as possible?
    I would like to do this without requiring the end PC user to download Quicktime if they don't have it on their computer, if possible, but the quality has to remain quite high, and wmv or mpeg files just don't hold up.
    I've already looked into numerous different export settings for each of the above programs, and have tried to figure out how to use with a trial of Sorenson's Squeeze to try to convert, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

    First off you can just make a CD of the data and let the PC users play the file back with Quicktime. Otherwise use Toast and make a VCD which is MPEG-1 on CD vs. DVD and really weak in the qaulity department but popular in Asia and for Karaoke disks.
    You can point out the the CD only crowd that a DVD burner costs less than a CD player used to cost.

  • How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

    I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

    I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

  • HT5772 How do you delete a movie from a local computer without deleting it from the library?  This should be such a simple procedure, but it's not. And while we're at it, why is iTunes NOT one of the dropdown product choices?

    All Apple support says about deleting movies from a computer is that you "should" be able to re-download it if you live in the right area.  Well, I'm in the U.S.A. and just deleted one of the movie extra features exactly as described in the support directions.  According to Apple I should be able to re-download this from the cloud at any time, but now I no longer even see the title listed.  That's why I wanted to test their support statements with a Movie Extra instedad of a real movie.  This should be the simplest of tasks to manage, yet they make it extremely difficult.  Why?  I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.  Makes sense, right?  But, I only have so much room on my laptop to store movies that I want to have with me on long trips, etc.  So if I only have the space to store 3 or 4 movies on the disk, shouldn't I have the ability to every once in a while delete one of those movies from my local computer ONLY, NOT my library, so that I can download a different movie?  Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.  So why does support say you can download again any time from the cloud then?  The worse part is, the calamity doesnt stop there.  Wait until you see the message you actually get once you say that yes, you do want to delete the movie (but only because you assume that you really can download it again sometime).  Here is the exact 2 messages you get from Apple, in the same popup box.
    Do you want to move the selected movie to the Recycle Bin, or keep it in the iTunes Media Folder?
    Only files in the iTunes Media Folder will be moved to the Recycle Bin.
    [Cancel]  [Move to the Recycle Bin]  [Keep File]
    Is that the most confusing popup or what?  Who develops this kind of software?!?!?! 
    I have tried it both ways and the only difference is that the file shows up in the Recycle Bin or doesn't.  But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.  Better hey, if I clicked "Keep File", where is it?  I can't see it anywhere, so where is it kept and what can I actually do with it?
    I have to be honest, I love my iPhone and some of the neat features, but when it comes to iTunes, I have never seen a more difficult piece of software to use in my life... and I'm a software developer.  Your Support documentation is actually more confusing than the softwae itself, it's almost as if you don't want people to use the software, just simply buy stuff and listen/watch it, but nothing else.  Seriously, this is the most cumbersome, unfriendly piece of software I've ever seen.  What does it say about Apple iTunes when everyone has to google solutions for how to do something rather than using Apple support documentation.
    Seriously disappointed in Apple iTunes and it's never really gotten any better over time.  This is one of the primary reasons I have never moved all of my recording studios and office operations over to an Apple platform.  Hardware and phones are awesome, but your software is either grossly incompetent or intentionally designed to make it all but impossible to use.  Either way, it's worthless to me. We're talking about software that does nothing else but manage media that I already own on multiple devices.  That should be one of the simplest things in the world to do.  Sad... very sad.
    While we're at it.... why isn't iTunes listed on the product dropdown below?  Maybe it's not even considered a product, which would explain it's goofiness I guess.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • How do you convert a movie from .mov to .jpeg or a format compatible with non iOS computers?

    I created a movie on iMovie that I would like to share with family members through a flash drive.  The problem is is that they don't have iOS computers.  How do I convert my movie in iMovie from .mov to a file compatible with other computers?  Thank you

    Yes, normally the whole point of making it an XFA is so you can type in it. You must use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill it.

  • How do you stop a movie from playing past the end?

    I uploaded a video to Vimeo I made from various clips and there was about 40 seconds of black after the end. How do you add a marker so it knows where to stop and hopefull return to the beginning. I already put the 'stop' marker in but it plays past it in the elements editor and assume that's what it did in the uploaded video. I believe 'stop' marker is only for DVD play.  I have Elements 11.

    Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline. Make sure that the slider is all the way to the right so that you are at maximum expansion. Then, as Hunt suggested, hit the End key and inspect the area where the Timeline Indicator stops. These possible fragments/leftovers present typically as very thin vertical black lines scattered in the tracks. After you delete any such fragments, repeat the process to make sure you have all the fragments.
    The major reason for me adding to this thread was to remind you never to put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. It is a bad practice to fall into. It is not needed and creates all sorts of problems especially as seen in burn to disc.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.
