How to share reference movies ?

I have a few QT REFERENCE movies in my iTunes library.
They play just fine on the Mac running iTunes.
However, when I share my iTunes library on my local network, these reference movies dont appear in the shared library. Everything else does - including QT self-contained movies.
Also, REFERENCE movies arent visible to REMOTE running on my iPhone.
QUESTION : Is it possible for iTunes to share reference movies ?
I've searched iTunes online help, the iTunes forums and Tech Notes ...
The question has been asked at least twice (in 2007), but appears to remain unanswered.
Any suggestions ?
(apart from creating self-contained movies from the reference movies - that just gobbles up disk space)

A clue ...
The QT reference movies refer to .dv movie files ...
As far as I can tell, iTunes wont share .dv movies - whether reference movies or self-contained.
Does anyone know what movie formats CAN be shared ?
Noting in the iTunes doco on this topic ...

How to share the movie library

My mac is networked with another mac in the house. I want to share my movie library with that mac. So I went to the iTunes Preferences and checked Look for shared libraries and Share my library on my local network. I did the same on the other mac, but I can't see my movies on that mac. Is there something else I need to do, maybe having to do with a firewall? I'm stumped. We each have our own iTunes installed, so it isn't one that is on a shared drive specifically.
Thanks -

Click on the name of the shared library in the itunes source pane on the left hand side. Wait for the library to load. click on the black triangle next to the name of the shared library. There should be a movies playlist listing all of the movies that are referenced through itunes on the other computer. Also from the look for shared libraries preferences, check that share entire library is checked.

How to share a movie through iTunes

I have a movie in iTunes on my iMac. How can I share it with my ipad air? When I'm not home

How to share references?

Hi all,
In short I have a main VI that was a boolean that the user can toggle in the main VI.
I pass a reference to this boolean to a sub VI that is displayed simultaneously on screen. I would like the user to have the ability to toggle the value of the boolean from either VI. How do I get the reference to be updatable by either VI. My application is on a single machine so I was hoping to get away from having to declare a network variable.
Anywho, any ideas out there?

Attached is an example.
In the main VI there is a reference to a boolean button that gets passed to the sub VI.
The Sub VI has a button that I stuff the value to from the reference. I want to be able to Click either the button in the sub VI or the button in the main VI and get th value to change. I've only gotten it to work in a one way manner or some crazy flickering between the states. I guess I would like it to work like a databound variable.

How to share rented movies between devices

I have just downloaded some rented movies on my iMac and would like to transfer them to Airbook for a trip away. What is the best way of doing this?

Sorry, but unless something's changed recently that I've missed, you cannot transfer a rented movie from one computer to another. You can only transfer a rental to an appropriate model of iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. If you want the rented movie on your MacBook Air, you'll probably have to rent the movie again from the MBA.
Regards.

Conforming reference movies

Hi
This might be a dumb question, but there is a lot at stake so im asking anyway!
if you conform a Quicktime reference movie. Does it conform the media that the reference movie points to, or just how that actual reference movie plays?
Thanks
Trevor

How do i share my movie i have on imoivie with other divices? or how to i put in on the smartboard

how do i share my movie i have on imovie with other divices? or how to i put it on the smartboard at school??

- You can AirPlay it on an Apple TV or other device that supports AirPlay
- You can connect an adopter and connect the iPod to a TV
- You can import the move to your computer and then do what you want to do with it.
- If your school's SmartBoard supports uploading from an iOS device (iPod touch, iPhone or iPad) you can directly upload to the board. Otherwise you will have to transfer to computer to upload to the board.
- Transfer the the movie to DropBox or similar cloud serve and then distribute how you wish.

How to create Flash reference movie?

Hi, is there a tool(s) for generating a flash video reference
movie? I'm looking for something similar to the quicktime reference
movie:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/refmovies.html
In short, I would like load the appropriate version of the
movie based on the viewer’s connection speed. If anyone has
any ideas as to how to achieve this, please post. Otherwise, I'll
just use QuickTime Reference Movie application.
Thanks in advance,
-Conrad

What exactly are you trying to do?
I don't think you are going to be able to create your own Flash objects. Maybe you can export the data and manipulate it externally.

Share them how? View them? Copy them?
What kind of movies? DVDs? iTunes? Other MPEG, AVI files, etc...

How do I change my apple i.d. to the same as my spouse's so that we can share purchased movies, music, etc without losing all of my information associated with my apple i.d.?

We have had separate apple i.d.'s for many years but would now like to share purchased movies. Is it possible to change my apple i.d. to my spouse's?

I tunes on your computer can act as a styorage place for all of your stuff. Each device is identified seperatley, but the mu7sic app and book libraries are shared. I have not tried sharing purchased movies, but I will tonight, and will post back confirmation that movies work as well. As you sync - the material from both ibraries is presented.. You choose what you want on your device, she chooses what she wants on her device.
The olny issues that arise is when you try to download updates to apps that were purchased under her ID. In those cases you either need to know her ID, or wait for a sync - where her device would update the itunes version, that you would simply resync back to your devices.
are you guys sharing a computer now, or are you syncing to two different computers?

How to share a full movie in iMovie?

Hello,
I have created a screen/audio recording for a project using Quicktime. Once I imported the file into iMovie 10.0.6, I cut out all the bits and pieces I didn't need. When I go to share the movie to Youtube, as a file, or into the theatre, it only includes a portion of the movie clip, not the entire movie. I have tried highlighting all the clips, and then clicking share- it doesn't work- there is no follow up action.
Any suggestions? The interface of the program has changed since I last used iMovie, so I am at a loss for what to do without a 'Finalize' option.
Thanks!

The first time I shared the movie, it only contained the first 9 second clip of the entire video, which is 16 minutes and 3 seconds in length. After checking, I saw that only the first clip was highlighted in yellow. So I tried to highlight all the clips, clicked share, and nothing happened. It wouldn't let me select it as an option. I tried clicking outside of the clips- so that none of them were highlighted- and it only converted a portion of the clip into a movie again.
The bottom line, I need all of this video grouped together to I can turn it into an actual movie.
Based on the layout of iMovie, do I have to have a different section/window/editor open?

IMovie won't share my movie.

Hello,
I'm now finished with editing my movie. When i try to share the movie as a file or to youtube it gives me this message:
"This object can not be shared as long as
it still has references to the media on camera."
What does it mean, how can i fix this? Yes i did import the files from my camcorder to iMovie. (I'm using a Canon XA10)
Thanks

I don't see anything obvious that is wrong.
I would try the following.
Use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME
Choose MOVIE TO QUICKTIME MOVIE
Click Options.
For Video Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
For size, choose current size or 720x480.
Then save it where you can find it.
If that works, you can take the file in Apple Intermediate Codec and convert it to h264 in an app like MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Player.

How to share an iTunes library

I have an iTunes library that is probably 90% music I added from CDs I own and the other 10% purchased from the iTunes Store. Is there a way to copy (or share) this library to my wife's mac on the same network? Or do I need to add an external drive and move my iTunes media library there for access by both computers. Also, can all the music be shared on her computer, or only the 90% that I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store?

Hi Larry,
If you are looking to share your music to another computer on the same local network, you may find the following article helpful:

How do I recerence Movie Clips on the Main Timeline from inside a class?

Hey everyone, this might be a stupid question but I thought
I'd ask cause it's making me nuts. I'm all of 2 days into AS3
(coming from not using Flash at all in YEARS) so feel free to
consider me ignorant. I do have plenty of application development
experience in other areas though.
I can't seem to create a class that can reference an instance
of a movie clip on my main timeline. I'd post code of what I've
tried but I've gone through so many desperate edits & wild
guesses that it was just garbled junk before I deleted it all.
Basically here's how I figured Flash could work, though maybe
it doesn't work this way at all.
I'm assuming that with AS 3 being so big on being a true
object oriented environment, I wouldn't need to mix my code and
interface together. Preferably I'd be using the Flash authoring
tools just to design my interface. Create a button... place it
somewhere... give it an instance name. Roughly the equivilant of
Apple's InterfaceBuilder for those of you that might be familiar
with Cocoa development. I can see maybe having to put a few lines
of ActionScript onto frame 1 (though really I'm hoping Flash would
have a better method of kicking off the application at this point
that using code tied to frames) to load my classes & such, but
after that I'd like all of my code to be held in external class
files.
So maybe I've got:
Interface.fla - My interface
Button_1
Button_2
TextField_1
Main.as - My main controller class using to handle all of my
applications behavior
SomeClass.as - Some helper Class
SomeOtherClass.as - Some helper Class
Main.as would have instructions in its initialization method
to go ahead & attach events to buttons & initialize
anything else that needs to happen when the application starts.
From there on it would all be objects communicating back &
forth. Button_1 would get clicked with would fire
Main.someMethod(). Main.someMethod() would then do it's thing and
set the value of TextField_1. All very clean & code is very
separated from interface.
Unfortunately I can't for the life of me figure out how AS3
classes reference each other like that. There doesn't seem to be
any kind of a global 'root' or '_root' I can use to locate any
movie clips on the stage. I've searched the help & the web for
any kind of simple tutorial but to no avail. My job has tasked me
with building a flash app for a project but I'd really rather not
have a tone of ActionScript just shoved into frame 1. That just
seems... ugh! (::shudder::)
Can someone maybe point me in the right direction here? I'm
really willing to do my homework but I can't seem to locate the
info I need to get started. Also, is there an ActionScript IRC
channel or something maybe?
Thanks,
Cliff

I worked with the problem last night and the solution I
started coming to involved creating my own custom document class
based off which extends MovieClip. My thought is that way I have
access to the initialization routine of the timeline itself and
that all of the elements on the main timeline should be
"properties" of my custom class.
Is this correct? Is there a down side to doing this & if
so what is it & why?
Also, just for my reference, the last time I did anything
with ActionScript I think I was using '_root' to target the main
timeline. WHat are the global variable names in AS 3? Is it just
'root' & 'stage' or 'Root' & 'Stage' or what?
