Mirroring sports videos from macbook to TV is bad but good from iPhone????

Hi,
I am living in Sweden and I use viaplay(similar to netflix) a couple of times per week. Unfortunately there is no viaplay app for apple tv.
Anyway, the point being: if I use the viaplay app on my phone, that streams sports events in a great way. However I don't want to use my phone for streaming and I definitely belong to the club of seeing a point with tablets. So, again, I have a macbook air for doing this: how can I stream the video (running on silverlight) without using the horrible airplay mirroring (too choppy, laggy, amateurish) with the same quality as the iphone?

1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
3 - deciede what you want - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

Pixelated video mirroring from Macbook Air (X10.8.5), but not from my iPod i0S7

I don't understand it. when I mirror anything from the macbook, the output on the Apple TV is pixelated, as if very low resolution. E.g., streaming Amazon. I streamed the same content from my iPod and the output on the Apple TV was perfect.
This is a new problem--just in the last couple of weeks I think. I don't often mirror from either to Apple TV, but I know I had excellent resolution from both in the past. Gone through all settings and am mystified. Any ideas?

Hello ekeby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Try the steps in this article and see if the image quality improves.
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X

Optimizing image quality
Resolution matching modes
You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
Have a nice day,
Mario

HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

HT1296 My Iphone 5, IOS 7.0.4 won't sync calendars to my Macbook Pro IOS 10.9.1. I can sync calendars from the MB to the phone but not from the phone to the Mac. There is no tab for the calendar in Itunes now so I don't know how else to do this.

I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1 and an Iphone 5S on IOS 7.0.4 and I can't sync my calendar from the phone to the Macbook.
It works the other way, Macbook to Iphone.
There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

Deleting pictures from camera roll and photo stream but not from other folders

Hey everyone,
I am new to I phone and using iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2.
I like to keep my photo folder organised and sorted. For example I created different folders on my iPhone for wallpapers, my personal pics and work pics.
Now after adding all these pics to their respective folders i deleted them from Camera roll and my photo stream ( thinking that they would still be in their folders) and now I am screwed, because everything is deleted .
Thankfully, I have the backup, but please can anyone help me to understand the difference between camera roll and my photo stream and how could i keep all my pics in different folders and just not in camera roll or my photo stream.

The way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer.

Flow text in Word for Mac 2011 works from page 1 to page 2, but not from page 2 to page 1. Does anyone know a fix for this, please?

Does anyone know how to get text to flow from page 2 to page 1 in Word for Mac 2011, please?
To try it, create a fair size text box on page 2 and fill it right up with text.
Next, reduce the text box size so that the text box is over-full.
Then Flow this overflow into a new text box on page 1.
What appears also disappears, especially if you try to print.
Does anyone else have this problem?

With some advice, I was able to solve my problem by opening Word and then Force Quit Word. When I re-opened Word, it had returned to normal.
Note: I had already tried the expedient of restarting my computer without solving my Word problem. But Force Quit did the job.

SSIS file create file is corrupted on server but good from pc

Still in development so running from VS 2008 not from Integration Services. The package extracts from SQL to create a file in FTP site. When I run the package from my pc all is well. But, when I run on the server I get "_x003C_none_x003E_4989_x003C_none_x003E_"
for the value in every column and row. The row count seems to match, so I would assume the extract sp is good, but not the file creation. I'm wandering about an encoding difference between the server and the pc.

Hi GeRidge,
Sorry for the delay.
The issue should be the known issue that SSIS may automatically change the text qualifier of the Flat File Connection Manager from “<none>” to "_x003C_none_x003E”. To work around this issue, you can remove <none> from the “Text qualifier” textbox
and keep it blank.
If you use SSIS 2008, the fix for this issue was first introduced in CU6 for SQL Server 2008 SP1. If you use SSIS2008 R2, the fix was introduced in CU1 for SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM.

I can stream from ios to new airport express but not from windows 7 or powermac G5

I have new airport express and older apple tv on my network. Both are connected and found by all devices - Windows 7 laptop, Powermac G5 and all ios devices. I can stream music via airplay to both airport express and apple tv from ios devices (one at a time of course). I can stream from itunes to Apple TV but cannot connect to the airport express! It shows up and I get the dredded error: An error occured while trying to connect...
I tried some of the many ipv6 suggestions that I've seen here but nothing is working.
Anyone have the setup? Is this an airport express setup issue? Please help!!!

OK, I'm tipping my hat to Apple's (new) online experts. Great job.

My MacBook logs onto the wifi but not my iPhones or iPad? What to do?

Macbook
iPhone 3GS just moved to Version 5
iPhone 4 just moved to Version 5
iPad
My MacBook has successfully logged on through an airport device in a new location, after a reconfiguration. However our iPhones and iPad don't want to follow. It shows the network icon but when an app is launched, it says it's not connected to the internet.
I have reset 'network settings' and also rebooted, without success (with retyped password).
What next?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thank you bob Timmons!
I did as you suggested elsewhere on this site.
If you have a simple modem (only 1 ethernet port) check to make sure that the Connection Sharing setting on the AirPort Extreme is set correctly.
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address would be the correct setting.
Then try a full modem reset and power cycle as follows
Push the reset button on the modem
Power the modem down
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave the modem off at least 30 minutes
Power down the rest of the entire network
Start the modem first, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Then start each device up one at a time"

Booting from external, need to stop bad internal drive from trying to mount

I have an Intel iMac with a bad internal drive. It won't mount, but makes several clicks every few seconds trying to access the drive. Eventually I will take it in for repair, but I don't want to be without it for several days and it is working fine with the external drive.
It's not a huge problem, but the clicking gets annoying. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can disable the drive or prevent the computer from trying to access it? I don't want to physically disable it unless it is a simple procedure. I'm hoping there is a software solution via OS X or Terminal commands.
I should say that I found some instructions to prevent a drive from mounting, but it requires the drive's UUID which I can't get unless it mounts. Also, I don't know if this will stop the clicking. Anyway, here are the instructions. Perhaps there is a way to do something similar without knowing the UUID or by knowing the UUID of the working drives? I appreciate any help.
1. Open Disk Utility
2. Select the bad drive, then click the Info button
3. Copy the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) code
4. Open a Terminal window and type: sudo pico /etc/fstab
5. Enter your password
6. Enter the line below (using your own UUID):
UUID=CDB15826-88A3-36AC-8009-3E71355F0B18 none hfs rw,noauto
(taken from http://www.macseven.com/files/20070719how_to_prevent_a_drive_volume_frommounting.html)

I don't know if it can be done using software solution (I think not). It's possible to remove the drive physically but it is rather tricky. see this thread for instructions
