How to stream movies from hard drive to apple tv

I have an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme, which works for my Time Capsule and saving files wirelessly; however, I do not know how to access the movies I have on it via my Apple TV or iPhones without having my laptop open using HomeSharing. Is there a way to access the files directly from the network hard drive?

Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

Hello !
It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't streamimg my movies directly)
It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
Thank you for your answears.

Hi,
you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
Hope this helped

How do I delete iTunes movie from hard drive

It doesn't show up in Itunes but it's still in my Movies subdirectory of iTunes (taking up 1.6G). When I try to delete it from the folder, it says it's write protected or in use. It's not in use. HELP!

Do you mean all data BUT the operating system?
If so, boot the iMac with the install DVD in the optical drive while holding the C key. Select the language and then continue. Select from Utilities, Disk Utility and then Erase the hard drive. Then choose Install Mac OS X so you reinstall only the operating system. You can then use the apple at the left side of the menu bar and Software Update to date to 10.6.8.

How to import mts from hard drive

Hello,
I'm looking for some help on importing .mts AVCHD files into FCP X direct from my hard drive. I have a lot of files on the drive that aren't on my Panasonic GH2 memory card so I can't import direct from camera. If I try to put the files back onto a memory card with the Panasonic GH2 directory structure it doesn't see them there either.
I've tried re-wrapping to .mov and the .mov file will play perfectly in quicktime but when I bring it into FCP X it plays back with occasional green frames ever 2-3 seconds. I've checked that the frame rate is correct in the project and with the clip.
I don't mind re-wrapping the files as it's quite quick but even that's no working. I could convert them all to prores but that will take quite some time and once again I'd rather avoid!
It seems that FCP X is still not quite right despite the last two updates. I've had to stick with Premiere Pro for serious work as FCP X isn't reliable yet but I really wanted to test out the new multi cam editing.
Any advice or help would be great.

I've tried re-wrapping to .mov
What did you use to do this? Did you use ClipWrap, Media Converter, something else?

How to install Arch from hard drive?

Hello
I have an old laptop - Pentium II 266 MHz, 128Mb RAM and I want to install Arch on it.
The problem is that there is no way to boot from this laptop -> floppy is broken, CD drive is not bootable, no available boot options from BIOS to boot from PXE or USB.
So, I found this link useful (but not enough).
I have done everything as described on the upper link, but on the final step 7 I don't know how to proceed.
What I have got is:
Arch installation CD is in the CD drive.
After loading vmlinuz26 and archiso.img (which is RAM Disk or initrd) it shows this message: "waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/"
And another message: "ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds" and after that it put me in the ramfs prompt.
I try this in ramfs prompt, but without success:
1. ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/archiso
2. exit (and try again)
What I want is to tell the installer that it must proceed with the installation files on my CD drive.
But how to do that?
If it is not possible, then how could I install Arch on this old laptop? Is there any other methods to try?
PS: There is Windows 2000 and Windows 98 installed on this laptop, but I want to install Arch on it. The whole hard drive is one partition.

Try either of the following:
* Add archisolabel=LABEL to the kernel line in menu.lst, where LABEL is the filesystem label of the partition where the ISO resides.
* Add archisodevice=/dev/sdaX to the kernel line in menu.lst, where sdaX should be replaced with the partition where the ISO resides.
[Edit]
Hmmm, sorry I think I was wrong. With the above, you need also extract the ISO, put the arch/ directory at the root of the partition.
Alternatively, you can put the ISO to the root of that partition, and add img_dev=/dev/sdaX and img_loop=foo-bar.iso. For details, see:
https://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git/tree/README
BUT even if it loads, I don't think you will be able to install Arch on the same partition since it's mounted readonly to /bootmnt, (unless, you explicitly add copytoram to the kernel line, in which case, everything is copied to RAM, but since the machine has got only 128MB of RAM, this is not gonna happen). So, you need to put the ISO (or the extracted squashfs images) to a different partition than your target installation partition...
There probably are other things I'm missing... Gotta say this sounds quite challenging.
[Edit2]
Bah! Try archisodevice=/dev/sr0 then!

Deleting Movies from Hard Drive

I wish to make some space on my hard drive and have all movies backed up on a seperate 'Lacie' hard drive via 'Time machine'. I have a lot of projects on iMovie HD which I wish to delete from the Hard Drive. Problem is, I can't. Every time I try and dump something in the trash can it just bounces back again. I'm either being very thick, it may be an age thing, or something is wrong with the kit, any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I've had that happen too. Try this instead. I think I remember doing this. Click on the item you want to delete. Go to the menu and under File, click on "Move to Trash".

How to access iTunes from hard drive

My laptop has crashed and won't restart. My iTunes library is backed up to an external hard drive. My partner has a laptop with iTunes. How can I access my own library by using her iTunes?

Hey Mikejl75,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you connect the external HD to the other computer they should be available.

How to get data from hard drive in dead iMac?

I have an old slot-loading iMac (350Mhz G3 blueberry) that just died, probably a dead power supply or something. Won't turn on at all. I don't care about restoring it, I just want to take the hard drive out and grab data from it. I've found instructions for removing the HD ... but any tips on the best/cheapest way to hook it up to get data from it? It's EIDE I believe from what I've read so far. Thanks for any help.

Hey Richard.....Thanks for the reply to my question about my wife's dead iMac.....
Her iMac had been acting up lately, mostly to do with her Outlook Express freezing up in OS9. I dunno if OS9 was freezing or if the application was failing. Regardless, I would have to quit OS9, restart Outlook which at the same time restarted OS9. All would be fine for a while, a day or two and then the scene would repeat itself. But I think that issue is separate from the iMac being "dead". Often we have power outages in the area, more than we should. I had the iMac plugged into a battery backup, some APS product I think it is. I believe it is only good for less than an hour as we have other devices drawing on it too. Most of our power outages are of short duration, just enough to be aggravating, sometimes having to reset clocks, etc...And a couple times, I would have to reset the time and date on the iMac so this told me that the PRAM battery was below minimum voltage. But the iMac would ALWAYS restart, even with the low battery. But the most recent outage, about one hour duration, did in the iMac, somehow or other. I do believe the battery backup basically fully discharged. So I removed the battery, could not find a new battery locally so I drove to the big city and paid the local Apple service dealer a visit. I got ripped big time price wise, embarrassed to say. So I get home, put the battery in the holder, depressed the CMU reset, the powerbutton illuminated as did a green LED by the memory modules for less than three seconds and then quit. I also heard the HD trying to spin up and a high voltage THUMP which I assume is the CRT trying to ignite. If I unplugged the iMac, removed the battery, plug in the power again and hit the power button, the iMac would repeat the same short on period and then quit. So it did not seem to make any difference if there was a battery in place. I read somewhere to pull the battery, pull the AC cord, hold down the power button to dump any current (?) and let the unit sit for 24hrs. After that length of time, I was supposed to replace the battery, depress the CMU reset, wait ten seconds and then feed it AC. Well, when I pressed the power button, I heard life for maybe five seconds, maybe a second longer, then a beep and then it shut down. I pulled the AC cord, pulled the battery, re-inserted the battery, depressed the CMU reset, waited a few seconds, plugged in the AC cord, depressed the power button and I am back at the under three seconds of "power-up" and then nothing, dead, no beep, nothing. I think maybe it is a waste of time trying to mess with this unit, looking for a newer iMac on eBay, the snowball series with the 17" LCD, might be time better spent. Hate throwing stuff away, that's why I am up to my ears in junk, maybe u know that scenario. The wife likes my 19" ACER LCD screen, hooked up to this old dual 800mhz, though she dislikes the noise and the tower. But we both agree the large LCD screen is much easier on our aging eyes than the old iMac CRT. Anyway, I appreciate your help, always GREAT to correspond with an Apple fan.....John Bauer

How to sync both from hard drive folders and from Aperture?

I have the following problem. So far I was syncing photos directly from my hard drive folders and everything was fine. Recently I decided to add some photos from Aperture albums. When I did this all previous photos synced from HD were deleted. When I switched back to syncing from folders, the photos from Aperture were deleted. It looks that it is impossible to sync from both sources. Anyone had this problem and found the solution?

I couldn't figure this out on my device, so I just consolidated them into one sync folder by copying photos.
Good thing I have extra disc space.....

How to start up from hard drive back up?

I did a back-up of my HD yesterday using Super Duper. I now need to use that back-up copy but have no idea how I actually start it, or get into it? Do I need to shut-down, re-start and press a particular key ...
Thanks for any help.
Frances
PS I used Super Duper to do back-up clone onto my LaCie Hard Drive.

Thank you Ray. The LaCie back-up icons were displaying in the Hard Drive but now that I've shut down and re-started, they are no longer appearing and are nowhere to be found.
*Hi Frances, Welcome (back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
You should always unmount external drives before shutdown. You may need to remount now and hope all is good. It should show up in System Preferences / Start Up Disk.
Good Luck, JP

How to recover data from hard drive of failed notebook

I have a broken F767NR laptop. Broke due to something other than the hard drive. What is the best method to extract the data from the notebook hard drive inside the laptop since the laptop won't turn on? Anyone with any specifics would be helpful!

Something like this would work. Pull out your hard drive and put it in the enclosure. Hook it up to a working computer and you should be able to see all your folders and files.
