I want to stream my itune movies to my TV via a UK Skybox - can this be done?

I have connected the Skybox to the Samsung HD LED TV via an ethernet cable (as discussed by the Samsung manual) and the tv M-Player now recognises my MB Pro and allows me to view photos (iphoto) on my MB and itunes mucic. WRT movies however, the M-Player tells me the codex is not supported. Any suggestions, the TV is only 12 months old?

Just in case you're not familiar with it, the Apple TV isn't actually a TV, but a small box which connects to your TV and your wireless (or ethernet) network and enables you to play media from your iTunes Library on the television, or stream movies etc which you rent from the iTunes Store.

It's possible to get an adaptor from your Mac's video output to an HDMI socket so that your TV can mirror the Mac's display - you can then watch iTunes movies full screen on the TV. It's a lot cheaper than the Apple TV but more of a fiddle if the computer is some way away from the TV because of the cable (which doesn't carry the sound, so you need an extra cable for that).

  • Want to use my current logo and apply it to images of clothing: can this be done with Elements?

    I want a tool that will allow me to use my current logo and apply it to images of clothing. will Elements be able to perform this task. I am not a pro and looking for the best Adobe product to perform these simple tasks.
    any suggestions will be very helpful...thank you

    You should be able to do this in Photoshop Elements.
    The drill is to isolate the logo from the background, then copy/paste to the garment.
    Suggest that you download the 30 day trial version of PSE13 which is a fully functioning program.
    Here are directions prepared previously:

    Try it and let us know.
    You won't rip a hole in the space time continuum or anything by trying.
    My guess is you want some kind of simulcast thingy?

  • I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
    Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
    The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
    Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
    iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
    If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
    Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
    Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
    Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
    Disconnect the device from your computer.
    iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
    Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
    Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
    Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
    Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

  • I can stream movies on my iMac.  How can I stream these same movies on my TV via Apple TV?

    Hello, it seems that you can mirror your Mac desktop on your Apple TV if you have a very recent Mac and OSX Mountain Lion. The other alternative is the very efficient third party software called Air Parrot (http://airparrot.com/)
    I've just started using it with my Mabook pro Mid 2010 running on Mountain Lion. It works perfectly well and only costs 10$... Hope it can help

  • I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library.  Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

    I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library.  Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

    You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
    iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

    You need a Time Machine backup to restore an old version. If you don't have one, you'll lose your library because it can only be used with iTunes 11

    Do you mean a flash drive?  I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely.  Make sure you make a backup.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive.  If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

  • I want to amend the Itunes name for each IPOD we own. How is this done?

    I want to amend the Itunes name for each IPOD we own. How is this done?

    Do you mean the name of the iPod? For example "John's iPod touch"
    If you have iOS 5 or later, you can change the name from "Settings --> General --> About. Tap on "Name" and enter a new name.
    With iOS 4, connect the iPod to iTunes, and click the name for the iPod in iTunes in order to change it.

  • I want to have 2 seperate libraries with content in different locations, can this be done?

    Hi there, I have 2 uses for itunes, one is for my mobile DJ business and for this I store all of my music on a 2TB external firewire 800 HDD I use Traktor Pro to mix, but find itunes very good for creating playlists.  I would however like to be able to store seperate content on my internal drive in a different library for personal use as a great deal of the stuff in my DJ collection I personally have no time for, and do not want the inconvenience of needing to connect my external HDD to be able to listen to my own collection.  I have a SSD installed and have tried depressing the CMD button during startup of the application although no option for creating a new library presents its self, it may be that the start up is too quick for me to be able out this.  Any ideas guys? Many thanks.

    there may be other (better) ways out there but all i can think of is this:
    1) make one iTunes library the main one and "consolidate" files that aren't in it, but in the other computer's libraries, to it.
    you can use home sharing for this but home sharing won't copy ratings, playcounts, and original "date added". a 3rd party tool such as PowerTunes would be very useful if those details are important to you.
    2) once the "main" library is created, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to the media server, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the new location.
    3) repeat with the other Macs.
    with a setup such as this, be aware that only one iTunes at a time can access the library. if your intention is to enable multiple machines to access the library simultaneously, you will probably have look into a NAS with a built-in iTunes server.

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.
