  • How do i share video from my mac

    How can I share a video from my Mac with other Mac users?  I tried to open the video through iphoto and "share" it through there, but it does not allow this.
    Thank you.

    What's the file size of the video you're trying to share?  In most cases, a video will be too large to email, so your best bet is to set up a free Dropbox account and share it through Dropbox. Another option might be to share it through iCloud.

  • How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

    I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

  • How do i play videos from my mac to my tv? through apple tv?

    i have a mac computer and apple tv.. i would like to airplay a video from a website onto my tv but i dont know how to do it.. can someone please help me??

    You need to use mirroring.
    Native use requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running mountain lion 10.8)
    Older hardware can use 3rd party software like Airparrot

    I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place.  When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad.  How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

    "OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
    This has been answered.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  You can e-mail them to yourself.
    " Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
    This is the design of the product.  It will sycn with one computer.  Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content.  The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    "When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
    OK.  This is not the case with the  ipad.  It is not designed as a storage device.

  • I have no audio from the mac mini to the hdtv via hdmi cable.

    This started immediately after the latest "apple software update"  I updated it automatically on 6/24/2011.  I have an elgato eye tv connected to the mac mini that provides BOTH audio and video through the HDMI to the HDTV.  The elgato eye tv works fine.  I get both audio and video. 
    However, I only get picture and NO sound from the mac mini to the HDTV via the HDMI output.  No streaming audio either - only picture. Ive tried pandora, netflix, hulu, etc.  I even put in a DVD into the mac mini and again I receive a picture through THE HDMI but no audio.
    I've shutdown and rebooted.  I've disconnected power and reconnected power.  I've gone into the system preferences, audo, and highlight the SONY HDTV as the output.  But still nothing.  I do notice when I toggle between the "internal speakers' and the HDMI option, the audio arrow on the lower right is bright blue during the internal speakers option but is grey when the HDMI option is connected. 
    I called apple care.  Since I'm 98 days past my 90 days of coverage there is no help via human being.  They offered me to set an appointment at the local apple store but they suggested I bring down my 60 inch HDTV with me to the store to be sure it is not a "Sony" issue.  I hope someone can help me resolve this without having to put this mac mini on craigslist and taking a $ hit.
    This was not an issue yesterday.  It became an issue after the latest and greatest "update" to prepare our machines for the lovely lion.
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue.  I also have the 2010 mac mine and use hdmi for audio to my receiver.  I get audio from eye tv with no problems, but it seems to lock the path so that only it can use that path for audio.  If I restart the computer and do not start eye tv everything else works with hdmi audio.  I have tried using the system settings and changing the source there but it doesnt seem to matter.

  • How to watch flash video on safari/mac without install flash?

    Hi mac people,
    i think many people are asking about this too, but i didn't find a true/info article to show you how,
    so I ask again in here hopefully someone can give me an true answer!
    I don't want to install flash due to security and some other disadvantage mentioned by other,
    but video uploaded to Facebook still using flash, and youtube opened in safari, some video showed only 240p, 360p, 720p, it doesn't show 480p,1080p and 4k or 60fps version, but when I install bogle chrome, everything look fine, I get vey those option available, I heard google chrome has built in flash/sandboxed flash, not sure how it's work, but google famous at tracking so I don't want to use google chrome, so guys any way to use safari to view all those things?
    Thanks!!!

    You do realize Google owns YouTube, correct?
    Don't install Flash Player if you don't want to use it. It's a dead technology and the sooner people stop using it, the better. Most websites no longer require Adobe Flash Player.

  • How to Upload a video from my Mac Quicktime to YouTube?

    I am trying to upload a video to YouTube. The original video was shot on a canon point and shoot and is AVI. It downloaded into iPhoto. I exported it to my desktop and then saved it using the QT "Save As" and also the "Save for Web" options. Then clicked "Share" in each instance, selected YouTube and both scenarios failed to upload.
    I am obviously doing something wrong. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

    ?

    I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

  • How can I transfer video from my iPhone to my iPad without a computer?

    I do have a work computer, a MacBook Air, but I can't sync it to my iPad. My iPad is already synced to my home computer. The camera connection kit used to work, but now I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini: all lightening connectors. Will the lightening to USB Camera adapter do the job?

    Yep.
    However, importing pics/videos in your camera roll DOES NOT involve syncing, & you can import these directly to your computer. Launch iPhoto, connect your phone, import. If iTunes launches, quit it.
    That's all you have to do. You can import camera roll pics/videos to any computer you want.

  • How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

    Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
    Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
    HELP!
    Jeff

    If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
    You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.
