Mac will only stream certain MP4's to Apple TV

So I've got some Video's in a playlist, the Apple TV will stream only some, others it will just say. Error loading content, please try again later.
However If I try play the one that worked before it, it's fine.
Thoughts?

"Air parrot" will stream your desktop to Apple-TV.
So if you use VLC or somesuch player that has a "fullscreen" mode and plays non-MP4 movies you can stream your non-MP4 movie to AppleTV. I've done it, and it works OK, and it is as requested a "work around".
You can try it out for free (http://airparrot.com) and if you like it, it's not very expensive.
Only problem I've encountered is having to use the Mac's system preferences to switch sound back to the Mac after I've finished with Air Parrot.
Hope that helps.
Robert.

Will only remember certain window sizes

Firefox 31 will only remember certain window sizes, only the page when the browser is first opened. Every page after that has to be enlarged. This always seems to be a problem with Firefox, why can't I have it remember my default window size?
Running Windows 8.1 Pro 64

I use Freemake Video Converter and this gives an option to deliver straight to I-Tunes. Vids appears under Films . So far for some reason I have managed to download lots of stuff from YouTube witout issue with the exception on 1 video from the band Within Temptation, however, a further 10 have downloaded perfectly from the same band. Can only assume there may be a corruption somewhere, although it was an Official Video by Vevo.

My iphone 4 will only sync certain songs and album from my itunes, how can I fix this?

I have an iphone 4, and when I go to drag stuff to sync it to the phone it will only sync certain albums or songs, and not others. Mind you, these bands it will not sync now I have had on the phone in the past so I do not understand whats going on, I've tried redownloading Itunes, and factory setting my phone and none of which have seemed to work if someone can help that would be awesome!

i had the same problem and just figured it out.
plug in your iPhone and click on your phone under Devices in iTunes.
then, at the top, where it says "Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos" click Music
make sure the "Sync Music" box is checked along with "Entire music libary" and apply the changes.
mine wasnt checked and it only had 37 songs in my phone out of 927 that were on my iTunes.
hope that helps!
(also make sure your AutoFill doesnt have any weird settings.)

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?

My iMacG5 will only boot to white screen, gray apple and spinning gear. Help?
Also not totally sure if it's an Intel based computer, but that's what I recall. Any way to check, since I can't get to About This Mac window?
It's running on OSX Leopard 10.5.4
First symptom = running slowly - then it kind of froze with color wheel spinning - thought a forced shut down would help - help power button til off, then white screen, gray apple and spinning gear.
Have tried...
1. Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
5. Let go of the power button.
6. Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Then try booting from your install disc again.
- No change
And...
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
- The fan just got louder.
Thanks for your help.

You need to do an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install depending on whether the hard drive is OK or needs to be reformatted.
Start by booting from your Leopard DVD. The rest is just following directions.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
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. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Macbook pro now says itunes not supported on this type of Mac. only change has been addition of Apple TV. how to fix?

My older macbook pro now says itunes not supported "on this type of Mac". Only change has been addition of Apple TV. The Apple TV remote is also controlling the Macbook. Is this the problem? How to fix?

Did you recently update OS X? The icon indicates you have a version of iTunes that is not compatible with the version of OS X you now have installed. The current version is Apple iTunes 11.0.2, and it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Mac will only restart in Windows via Bootcamp.......Help!!

Ok....My Mac has XP on BC 2.1. When I click the bottom right hand corner in Windows to restart in Mac it only restarts in Windows. Then When I'm in Mac and there is a software update, still, it only restarts in Mac OS. Last, when I go to system preferences, and Startup Disk, it still only will restarts in Windows. WHAT!?! It will however let me select Mac when I hold Option Key at boot then it Will boot into Mac. Any ideas why?

I would love to edit this post but I can't. I meant to say that it even restarts after an Apple Software Update in Windows. Basically anytime it restarts (even if I tell it not to) it is in Windows. The only exception is for when I hold option key, then I can get it into Mac. And my OS is 10.5.6 not 10.4.6.

I have an old mac 10.6.8. I wish to install a iphoto program, but i believe my mac will only support iphoto5. The app store only offers me the latest version. Any suggestions on where to get iphoto 5?

Do you have the disks that came with the old Mac? If you do you can install the iApps from one of those disks.
Otherwise, what Mac model do you have? Go the the  ➙ About This Mac menu and then click on More Information. In the System Information under Hardware you'll find Model Name. What is the model? I'tll be something like Macbook 5,2.

My Mac will not "move" my rented movie to Apple TV so I can view it on my TV. It always moves it back to my Mac.

My Mac will not "move" my rented movie to my 1st generation Apple TV so I can view it on my TV. It always moves it back to my Mac when I click to "apply" the changes. This has never happened before. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure all those files that were on that drive are still on that drive. Any time you format a drive, especially when you change the format, everything is erased from the drive.
to answer your question, No there isn't a way to remove the Mac fomatting and retain files on the drive. you would need to copy all of them to some other drive first then reformat the drive.

Mac will only stay on when hooked up to charger - HELP

As of last week, my MAC just shut down randomly. Once I plugged the charger in, it would turn back on, but the second I take it out of the charger, it shuts off again. For the past week, I've kept the charger in place; however, I can tell it's eroding my battery. It used to be at 100% and now it's down to 95%. Has anyone experienced this issue? Better yet, does anyone know how to resolve this?

As SV mentioned, we'll need more details on your battery before we can give you a good direction to head in. Regarding your comment +*"I can tell it's eroding my battery. It used to be at 100% and now it's down to 95%"*+, if you are talking about the information in the top left of your display that shows your remaining charge, what you are seeing is normal. The charger charges your battery up to 100% and it will allow the battery to drop down to about 95% before it starts charging it up again. This is done basically so the battery doesn't need to recharge constantly every time it dips below 100%. However, this doesn't mean that you may not have a problem with your battery. We'll need the info that Steve asked for.

HP Envy4500 Printer. Will only print certain fonts.

Windows 2007
I cannot get the printer to print on common fonts such as aerial or times new roman.
Is there a way to change this or is there a limited number of fonts that work on this printer?

Hi larryhogan100,
I wonder, does this issue occur when you copy? I have a feeling the issue is stemming form the computer and not a limitation of the printer. I would like to recommend you remove the driver from the Printer Server Properties and re-add it. Please use the instructions below.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software. If you do not see HP Setup and Software, click on the printer icon and the Setup and Software will open. Here is an image of the screen we are looking for.
Click on 'Connect a new Printer' and follow the on screen instructions.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, thanks.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

My MBPro will only play certain DVD's

My MacBook Pro will not play third party DVD's such as Dragon Dictate but will play Apple DVD's and DVD's that I have burned. I get the message I get is "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." think this started after the recent system update to 10.7.3. I tried the DVD in onother MacBookPro that did not have the system software update and had no problems. I downloaded the combo update and re-installed the system software but this did not correct the problem.

If that doesn't work, try, as dominic23 said, using a lens cleaning disc. If that doesn't work either, and if the machine is still under warranty, take it to the Apple store or AASP.
