I would like to mirror a movie on the tv but I also want to be able to do other things with out that being mirrored also how do I do this?

I have nephews I am trying to enterain, while they love movies I have homework to do on my lap top. Is there any way of playing a movie with out the rest of my work showing up on the screen?
Thanks for any help
Nikole

If you can hook up your TV like an external monitor with something like a mini-display > HDMI cable, you can turn off mirroring here:
 > System Preferences > Display
Uncheck the 'mirror display' box at the bottom of the window (I think it's in the 'Arrangement' tab).

The one you are looking at I believe is an older model and does not have very good reviews for working with an AppleTV2 / iPad 2 setup.
Here is the one that has worked for our district:

I can't say if the one you are referring two works or not, however I can say that based on the reviews, it looks like you may run into problems with the $45 version.

I have all my movies on an external hard drive. I want to be able to access them without copying everything to my iTunes. How can I do this?

I have all my movies on an external hard drive. I want to be able to access them without copying everything to my iTunes. How can I do this?

I think DebinSC might mean using the movies without copying to the iTunes library?
Maybe the solution is to uncheck this box?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I've just bought a second hand iMac G4 (w/OS 10.5) for my kids and would like to use Firefox, preferably in the Dutch language. Were can I find and download a (NL) version of Firefox that will run on this Mac? Best regards, Jan B. Bussemaker

Bij voorbaat dank!

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Or use Firefox 3.6.x, which is the last version from Mozilla. <br />

Got a Shuffle for Christmas for my workouts. I would like to download my music from the account, but I can't download the music. Do I need to create a new account? If not, what do I do?

I am not able to download my excisting music from my account. What do I do to get me music on my new Shuffle?

What do you mean by you can add music to your Shuffle from your account? Is the music in your iTunes library? Is it configured to sync to your Shuffle?

I would like to make a movie of me speaking while doing a power point presentation. I have seen this done with the powerpoint embedded on the screen and the speaker doing the talking on the rest of the screen. Is it possible to do this in iMovie?

sure.
the ppt has to be some kind of 'video' iM supports.
so export it from with MS Office as a Quicktime movie, preffered with 'Animation' codec, or as appleintermediatecodec .. for quality reasons.
you need the Talking Head as a 2nd video.
then use iM's Pic-In-Pic feature to combine both videos as wanted.
I would suggest to do some editing (you full-screen, the ppt full-screen, perhaps 'close ups' of some charts, cut-aways to snoozing audience, etc) to 'pep' the video. for this purpose, it could be much esier to export each slide from within PPT as a jpeg and create the 'flow' in iM only... except, you need the ppt-animations ... but, who uses animations in a presentation anyhow ... ?

I would like to create a movie with with video from multiple windows playing simultaneously

I would like to make a movie that shows multiple videos playing at the same time but in separate windows (kind of like the intro to the Brady Bunch?). How can this be done?

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
I would suggest using Apple's Pages which allows support for imbedding videos from the device's camera roll. Pages also allows for sharing via email, Air Drop, and Messages.

I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

Prior to going you can rent and download them on your iPad via its iTunes store app, or rent and download them on your computer's iTunes and connect and your iPad and move them to it - they will go in the iPad's Videos app.
Some people have posted that they need to start playing rentals whilst they still have internet connection, so you may want to watch a few seconds prior to going offline - you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires.

HT204411 I would like to purchase a movie in English on German iTunes Store, is that possible ?

I'm connected to a German iTunes store as I'm living in Germany now but I would like to buy movies and TV series only in English.
Why is there no possibilty to switch country on iTunes store since each country has different offers ?!
I'm Polish and I would like to purchase Polish movies in Polish language and American movies in English and since I'm living in Germany, I would purchase German movies only in German.
I hope there is or will be a possibilty to switch from country to country as it brings me a huge inconvienience right now.
Greetings

All content is licensed to Apple by the rights-holders to sell on a country-by-country basis, so all countries have to have thier own stores and you need to be in a country to use its store. If there are films that you would like to be able to buy then you can try leaving feedback for Apple, but unless the rights-holder for Germany agrees to it then Apple won't be able to seel them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

As I can sometimes do, I did not read the directions before delving into LR. Now I find my self with image history in LR on 2 or 3 of my HD's. I would like to now consolidate it on one HD but fear in doing so I will lose the images I have created within

As I can sometimes do, I did not read the directions before delving into LR. Now I find my self with image history in LR on 2 or 3 of my HD's. I would like to now consolidate it on one HD but fear in doing so I will lose the images I have created within LR. Is there a tutorio or some other way to get me back on track with this application?

Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

All you need to do is create your second site in iWeb, move it to the top of lhe list of sites in the left hand pane and publish to your MobileMe account. You must make sure the second site has a different name from the first.
Then setup domain name forwarding to the second site following Apple's instructions here: iWeb: Using your own domain name. You will need to setup forwarding at your domain name provider also.
The key is that the second site (with the domain name) must the top top size in iWeb.
Note: with MobileMe scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2012, you might begin looking into obtaining another host. When you do you'll find that both sites will need to have a domain name.
When the time comes take a look at HostExcellence.com. I've had excellent results with it. They have a couple of packages that offer free domain names. And most important they have outstanding 24/7, ear-to-ear customer support.

How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?
