I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?
You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
(Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movies from it to my Samsung Smart TV. Do I need Apple TV or Another App?
TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
TC is for TM backups.
Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player. -
Hello, I live in Russia and would like to purchase I-phone through the online store E-bay from a private individual. As in this case, the guarantee?
Again, the iPhone warranty is NOT international. And, if I may offer unsolicited advice, buying from ebay is always risky. Most sellers are less then honest when it comes to iPhones. They might state that the iPhone is unlocked when it is not; it might not be really unlocked or might be hacked/jailbroken.
My advice to you is to buy in the country you intend to use the phone and buy it from a legitimate source such as Apple or an authorized reseller. -
I am in switzerland and would like to download movies to my ipad but all the available movies seem to be in german? How can i find the selection of the movies in english?
No, you need to be in the UK with a UK billing address on your account to use the UK store
You can try requesting that the English language versions be added to your country's store (you've checked to see if the film's description page says if it has alternative languages on it ?), but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html -
I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it
I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it so I can access the files with out taking up space on my new MacBook Pro. Since I've purchased this time capsule I've heard that using it as a "server" it not ideal, but at this point I don't have a lot of other options. Any advice on the best way to back up my old computer and be able to access these files from my new computer??
Open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the Finder window
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder representing the drive will appear to the right. The folder will be named "Data" unless you have changed the name of the drive.
You may need to click Connect As in the upper right hand corner of the window and enter the Time Capsule device password to get the folder to display the first time that you do this.
Once the folder is displayed, double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop. You can drag/drop files onto the icon. This is going to be very tedious, but it can be done.
I would suggest that you look at an application like Carbon Copy Cloner to automatically backup the files that you select. Then you can schedule the applcation to automatically backup any files that have changed each day.

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.
Define "the Aperture files".
Read this concise guide.
The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals". Your Originals are never altered. What went in is what comes out.
Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file. This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture. There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image. Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved. These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original. They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture. "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing". The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple: create them by exporting. Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom. Note that I say "transitioning". You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information. Adobe provides a tool and some instructions. I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database. Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager: that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
HTH,

I have lost my iPad and would like to block it from being reregistered. It is a wifi only and does not have a sim card. I did not sign up for any tracking software either. Can apple block the serial number?
No.
Apple can do nothing.
You cannot block it from being "registered".
If you did not set up find my ipad before it was lost, then there is nothing you can do but change your passwords. -
I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer. There are so many softwares available on the web but none that can be downloaded on to the iMAC.
Please HelpiPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

I have a dsl internet conection with a download speed of .66 mbps. I would like to watch netflix with a wireless conection to apple tv. What is the required internet speed?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Netflix recommend a minimum connection speed of 0.5 Mbps, however at that speed many of the other features of the Apple TV will be painfully slow. -
I have an iMac with 269 songs i would like to transfer music from my macbook with 10917 song s to the imac to free up space on the macbook without loosing my 269 song please help.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If both Macs are on the same network, enable homesharing, you can then import music from one to the other without affecting what's already on there. -
Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction
Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews. -
