Is there a way to play something on the TV while looking at something else on your computer?

Ya so
Im one of those weirdoes who has to have music or a movie playing while doing stuff. Think its the ADD.
Anyways, would there be a way to say, have a Safari Tab for netflix, have that netflix playing a movie, with the pro hooked up to the TV of course, and keep THAT image of the movie playing on the tv, while changing the image of the pro, such as viewing a separate tab, or using a separate program such as Pages or MS Word?
Im sure its possible!, But does the software exist!?
Thanksyo!
Ryan...

  • Is there any way to play farmville on the iPad? Really disappointed I can't play within safari.

    Do u need an app? Or aren't u able to play farmville?

    iPads do not have flash; so, you're not able to play those Facebook games that require flash; however, you can download the Farmville app in the App Store and play it from there.

    You can only play video's with the new 5th generation iPods.
    Maybe the iSee (http://www.isee-ato.com/) is a good alternative for you?

  • Is there a way to play movies from the TC to the ATV using the ipad2?

    I've tried this question on the time capsule area and can't seem to get an answer.  Anyone here willing to answer..
    I have ituneds on my main computer and keep all my movies, music, and photos on the TC.  Well I'd like to play those movies on my TV through my apple TV (2nd Gen) using my ipad2 (i don't want to keep my main computer on with itunes running).  Right now i use my main computer and share my library with my ATV.  I would like to just have my ipad access my TC and play the movie then use air play to send it to my applet tv.  Though this doesn't appear to be possible.  anyone know if i can do this?

    Yes, you certainly can. If you connect the iPad to iTunes on your PC, then click on your iPad in the sidebar, click on the Apps tab near the top of the screen. Scroll down to the "File Sharing" section, and the iMovie application should appear. Click iMovie, select your projects and then click Save.

  • Is there a way that you can keep the same checked songs when transefering all your music to a different computer?

    ive just got a new computer and installed ITunes. ive brought all my music across from the old computer but when ive added it to I tunes it has checked all the songs. is there a way you can uncheck all the songs you don't want (same as previous computer) or do you have to go through and manually uncheck all the songs you don't want on the I pod??

    When you copied the music from your old computer you should have included the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) as well as your media files - this is the structure (normally in C:\Users\username\Music) that you should copy from old to new:
    If you only copied the media, and not the database file, try doing so now (without iTunes running) - the files and folder structures should be the same on your new PC as on your old one.
    Then hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes; you'll get this prompt:
    Click on Choose Library..., then browse to and select the iTunes Library.itl file that you just copied.  Your library should now be in the state that it was on your old machine, including checked selections.
    By the way, using checkboxes against individual songs is a really inefficient way to manage how content is synced to an iDevice.  Its much easier to create a playlist that you can move songs/albums in and out of, and configure your iDevice to sync media from this playlist.

  • Is there a way to play something from a wos on a Mac os?

    Is there a way to play something from a wos on a Mac os?

    There are are several ways of running Windows programs on a Mac.
    Using Bootcamp, a built-in OS X program that will allow you to boot either Windows (mostly Win 7) or OS X.
    Using an emulator such as Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows. This method does not require a reboot.
    In all cases you will require a liscensed copy of Windows.

  • Is there a way to play/convert large FLAC libraries on Ipod Classic, without having to pre-convert each of the folders?

    Hello,
    I'm looking to get an Ipod Classic due to the huge memory it has. The majority of my library is in FLAC and made up of full albums, some with cue files as well. My library is well over 2TB (external hard drive) and mainly FLAC with occasional MP3s and WAV. I'm looking to transfer a bunch of albums in 16/44.1 FLAC on to Ipod Classic. I looked into Rockbox as I did with Sansa Fuze, but as of right now, the Ipod Classic isn't listed. I really wish there was a native way of playing FLAC on the IPod Classic.
    So the next best thing I could hope for is to convert FLAC to another format (ALAC or WAV...maybe MP3 for more space, but really want to stick with lossless). Is there a way to queue a bunch of albums (folders) at the same time and have them converted into another format suitable for playback on Ipod Classic. Regarding this conversion process, I have two aspects I am looking to achieve.
    1) The conversion process should be on the fly. I really, really don't want to convert all the FLAC to another IPod format and then keep those converted files on my hard drive until they are transferred to the Ipod. I would much rather prefer something that could extract my FLAC folders from my external hard drive, process, convert, and transfer to the Ipod directly, without having to keep anything directly on my Macbook. This is so I don't run out of space. Also, it's much more easier that way. I don't care much about the time in this process as long as I don't have to constantly doing things manually. I would like to maybe move, say 40-50 GB at a time, until I max out the 160 GB 
    2) Proper catalouging of the converted files - I don't want the files losing all their tagging information and coming up randomly, disorganized on the IPod. I understand ALAC is better at this as it can retain the data while WAV can't, but I would still like some input as I have never tried ALAC before.
    I looked at MediaMonkey, although I'm not too sure about it. Also, I have a Macbook Pro Retina, so a native app would be the best.

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

  • When shopping for music, is there a way to play the results like playlist?

    This pertains to shopping for music on the Apple store. When I display all the songs by a particular artist, it becomes real OLD to click 100 songs. Is there a way to play them ALL in the same manner as a playlist? That is, when the 30-second sample ends -- to start playing the next.
    -Thanks

    Thought I had seen something before.
    Check this out -> iTunes Music Store Player
    "Great for background iTMS browsing, this script plays all the tracks listed in the Music Store window without having to click on each one manually. The author suggests: Go to the Music Store (in iTunes 4) and do a search on "jazz". It will spit out a list of some 250 songs. With this script you can automatically play them all, do some work, and if you like a song that is playing you switch to itunes and buy it... "

  • Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

    I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
    How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
    It said :
    "To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
    The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
    The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
    The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
    Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
    Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
    " <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
    <<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
    <</a> "
    (I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)

  • Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

    Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
    A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    AimeeLove,
    I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
    Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
    12 = 0
    1 = 250
    2 = 500
    3 = 750
    4 = 1000
    5 = 1250
    6 = 1500
    7 = 1750
    8 = 2000
    9 = 2250
    10 = 2500
    11 = 2750
    In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
    myVar = setInterval(function(){
         var pos = sym.getPosition();
         if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
              sym.stop(0);
              clearInterval(myVar);
    },10);
    When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
    In the mouseout section, put this...
    sym.play();
    clearInterval(myVar);
    It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
    Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
    Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
    Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
    Fred

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
