IMac Duo will not stream Quicktime behind my router.
Just bought a new iMac Duo it will not stream QT behind my Linksys router. Now I know this is a bug in QT and a port not being open for this new version of QT on the Duo because all other Macs I have work fine.
If I move the iMac Duo to a DMZ zone it will stream just fine.
Now what UDP or TCP port range do I need to open for this iMac Duo version of QT 7.0.4 to stream properly ?????
Thank you for your help.
Does this affect the system even without the firewall turned on? I don't have the firewall enabled (at least I think it is off - bear with me as this is my first Mac I noticed that neither the HTTP (port 80) nor UDP (port 554) work for my iMac, although my wife's iBook G4 and my other PC, an Athlon64 Windows XP box, play streaming Quicktime flawlessly over HTTP behind my NetGear DSL router. My iMac fails with connection error -5420.
All things considered, since I am a recent Mac owner (only had the thing for a about a week) and it is my first, I am very happy. I am just a bit disappointed in Apple for a problem like this since media technologies are their bread and butter.
Any more thoughts are certainly welcome.
Thanks,

QuickTime will not stream the resent iPod keynote
QuickTime on my iMac will not stream Steves latest Keynote. However on my PC there's no problem at all...
When I try to stream in Safari QT opens in a new window but all it does is running back and forth on its blue line while it says connecting...
What really bugs me is that this is working fine on my PC...Changing the settings and then restarting QT didn't do it. After I thought I might as well try to restart the whole thing (boot), and with the new settings that did the trick (HTTP). Thanks a lot!

Video Audio will not stream via express
Hi - Using iTunes, I am able to stream music and podcast audio to my Apple Hi-Fi speakers via Airport Express. However, VidoeCast, TV Shows and purchased movies will not stream... am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?
hevansStreaming movie audio only is quite different from streaming both audio and video. The problem comes in the prebuffering that's necessary to keep the audio from skipping, which makes the audio lag behind the video. To keep them in sync, the AirTunes protocol would have to be considerably more complex: iTunes would have to be able to advance the video ahead of the audio by a predictable amount to ensure that they don't fall out of sync. I can see Apple's point for not supporting it since the Express is intended as an audio device and was never intended for the audio associated with video.

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAMHi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again. -
My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up. In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102 and it keeps circling through the same error. Also the screen is so faint (pressing the F1 and F2 keys don't do anything). I got this from a friend and he didn't have any of the original discs. Any suggestions? From what I've read it's a problem with a recent update. I've never had a Mac so I'm trying to learn and fix it.
I just had an issue like this. I was able to boot up with an external firewire drive, although it was a lot of trouble. I think doing an option boot finally worked; holding down the option key, I eventually got to see the firewire drive was bootable, and booted from it.
I put the thing in verbose boot mode (command - v , I think; but please look it up. I have no Mac books at work to check). In verbose mode, you could see that the hard drive could not mount; the OS tried to do fsck, but it failed around 2/3 of the way, and the CPU was halted.
I was occasionally able to boot normally, but never in safe or single user modes; these do a disk test first, which invariably failed.
I could see from the system and console logs when I managed to get the firewire boot going that there were repeated errors trying to access drive s03, the internal SATA drive. The logs on the SATA drive showed huges numbers of errors. At a wild guess, for some reason a lot of sectors went bad all at once. There had been a some erratic behavior before, but I'd put that down to the single processor G5 problems. (these were non video related, just freezes).
Applecare wanted me to carry the huge thing into the local Apple store, but I persuaded them to just send me a replacment hard drive, which they did. The new one works perfectly.

TS2972 Itunes Library will not stream to apple TV
I can find my itunes library on my apple TV, but it will not stream. it just continues to buffer, and does not load the movie. Is there a way to fix this? Everything used to work just fine before today.
Solution:
I had the same problem. Apple TV worked, because I could stream the BBC iplayer from my iPad, it was just iTunes that was the problem. However, I just downloaded the latest Apple TV update and bingo! -

If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless. -
First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.
The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON -
My Apple TV has been having a very weird problem since I got it a year ago. It works outstanding at my apartment without changing any settings on my router or my computer. It streams, syncs, etc.
Anytime I move both my Mac Mini (the server) and the AppleTV to my parents house, however, everything gets messed up. It still syncs just fine, but it will not stream. Unless the movie/tv show you are trying to watch is synced to the appletv hard drive, it will just try to buffer and not get anywhere. I have completely turned off the firewall of the router (Belkin N+) and even put the Mac Mini in the DMZ. I don't imagine it is a problem with the Mac Mini, as the whole system works great when I go home. The only change is the router I'm using, and the ISP my parents have.
Also, the Mac Mini will connect to the internet/get email/surf just fine. The AppleTV Network Test runs successfully.
Any help would be really great. Thank you!It's possible the Mac's firewall is blocking it, since the network address has probably changed with the different router. I don't recommend running without a firewall any longer than it takes to test it, however.
I know you said the firewall on the router was off, but I suggest assigning a static IP address on the router to the ATV's MAC address and then set up port forwarding to and from the ATV's static address on the necessary ports. If the router is properly configured, it should work. -
ITunes will not stream vidoe audio to Apple Hi-Fi speakers
Hi - Using iTunes, I am able to stream music and podcast audio to my Apple Hi-Fi speakers via Airport Express. However, VidoeCast, TV Shows and purchased movies will not stream... am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?
hevansTry turning IPv6 ON in your network preferences - this is helping SOME people with this problem. It won't help you at all if your network router doesn't do IPv6.
To turn on: go to Network Preferences, select the interface you use, under teh TCP/IP tab click 'Configure IPv6', and choose 'Automatic'. Save changes. -
