Movie on wrong machine - any way to move?

I think I messed up and am looking for some advice.
I bought the Home Run Derby TV show for my son, and I used my computer to do that. But I'm an idiot -- my machine doesn't have a DVD burner on it; our other machine has that.
I take this machine to work every day, so he hasn't been able to watch it, and I need to clear the space off of my drive. Does anyone have any advice so he can watch it? This is the first video content that I've purchased online.

I'd been concerned that the protection wouldn't let me move it to the other machine and play it there.
Protected content purchased from the iTunes Store can be copied to an unlimited number of computers, but only five computers can be simultaneously authorized to play that content. In the case of purchased games, the computer still needs to be authorized to transfer the games to a Fifth Generation iPod for playing.

  • Time machine - any way to know what's new?

    I started a Time Machine backup recently and saw that it had 250 GB of new content to back up, which didn't seem right to me, so I stopped the back up and have temporarily disabled TM so I can figure out where the additional files are.  Is there any way to see what files/folders Time Machine believes to be newly added or moved?  Or, is there a way to see what's been added to a backup once is complete?
    This happened after I installed Yosemite on a separate boot drive, and some programs along with it, but I've explicitly told TM to ignore that boot volume.  It's possible that in the process I accidentally installed or copied some files to a separate HD which contains files used for both my Mountain Lion and Yosemite volumes, and which IS backed up by TM.  (This is a Mac Pro tower, I have 4 drives in there with a few boot volumes and a couple volumes for data.)
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Time machine: any way to eliminate listing a disk as a potential Time Machine target?

    Hi,
    I have an external drive partitioned into two partitions, we'll say "ExternalData" and "ExternalTimeMachine". Due to the fact that I backup to the network at one location and to this external drive at another, I have to go in and manually pick the drive in "Open Time Machine Preferences | Select Disk..."
    I never want to backup to ExternalData, so I'd like a way to tell Time Machine that that's not a valid target, and therefore only present me with "ExternalTimeMachine". Is this possible? I once saw a file on another system called ".com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent" and made a zero-length file of that name in the root of "ExternalData" and made it owned root:admin, but the ExternalData disk still shows up as a valid choice in Time Machine.

    Hi, not certain, but see if this helps...
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080114082057330
    An anonymous submitter sent this in as a hint; I'm listing it here as an alternative to this hint:
    This has to do with Time Machine and presenting the dialogue when a suitable drive is mounted.If a file name ".com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent" is in the root directory of the Hard Drive, then it seems to disable the dialogue.
    One issue seems to be that to make this file appear, you have to first connect the drive, which will generate the warning dialog ... and if you say "no," then this value is set anyway (so it won't be asked again for that drive).
    Well, nope, I give up here after a couple of hours trying the above & more!
    But then I've never liked TM, I use...

  • Is there any way to move songs from one account to another?

    I accidentally bought an album on iTunes on the wrong account. In order to download it onto my iPod, I think that all of the songs from the other account would be deleted. Is there any way to just move the album to the other account (which is on the same computer), or use two accounts on one iPod?

    Control-click the songs in iTunes, show them in the Finder, copy them to /Users/Shared/, log into the other account, and import them into iTunes.

  • Is there any way to package a project to move it to another computer?

    I've got FCE4 projects on one computer but I need to be able to open and work on them on my MBP as well. Currently, I've got the projects in Dropbox, but when I open them, the source media files all need to be reconnected.
    I guess I could painstakingly hunt for them all one by one. Any file I have imported into FCE I keep in the same folder, but files created by iMovie and FCE [like sequence files] I have no idea where they are.
    Is there any way to package the project, like you can in InDesign? That software packages all related files into 1 folder so you always have them.
    Thaks for the help!

    I am using an external scratch disk, but there's not a lot in each project's folder. I need a way to pull everything a project uses and place it in 1 folder so I can move it to another machine. I have everything I've imported...it's just links to iMovie files [I exported rough cuts to xml, then imported into FCE4. I'm not sure why FCE4 is looking for the original iMovie file...] and sequence files that I need to be able to find.
    I was really hoping for some kind of automated function, like packaging in InDesign...

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
    The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
    I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

  • HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    I  rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device.  I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked.  I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

  • DD got new laptop(Windows 8). I would like for her to have her own iTunes account.  However she has been syncing her iPod to my account for 2years and has an abundance of music/movies that we don't want to buy again.  Any way to share them to her new PC?

    My daughter got a new laptop for Christmas (windows 8).  I would like to set up her own iTunes account on her laptop.  Our dilema is she has been syncing her iPod to my account for 2 years now, therefore, she has an abundance of music (purchased through iTunes store) and movies (downloaded via digital download from DVD/BluRay purchases) that we don't want to have to purchase all over again.  Is there any way to share some/all of my account with her so she can sync her iPod to her laptop in the future?
    I have been reading about Home Sharing but I am not sure this is the approach I am after.  Will home sharing work to allow her to alter and change the content on her PC without changing/altering it on mine?  Will it allow her to sync her iPod with her PC?
    I suppose I should also add that we are currently running 2 iPod touches, 2 iPads and an iPhone from my apple ID.  I am not even sure if I would be able to add her PC as a device for home sharing if that is an option for us.
    Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
    but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
    Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
    Or transfer to his account?
    Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • Any way to protect a quicktime movie on the net?

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way to make a quicktime movie NOT downloadable from the web.
    I have a clip I would love to show on the web but I have to make 100% sure nobody is able to download and distribute it.
    Is there any way? Kiosk Mode seems not to be too safe (at least this is what I heard)
    thanks for your help

    The kioskmode="true" html tag only removes the "download" part of the movie controller and would only keep QuickTime Pro users from downloading your file via the controller. It also prevents "drag and drop".
    Any user could search through your page source code and find the URL to your QuickTime file. Dragging it to the "Downloads" window of Safari would allow them to keep a local copy.
    "Streaming" media files (requires special server software to deliver) are the most difficult to capture. Because noting is locally cached the best an average user could do would be to save a reference copy of your file.
    You could also use AppleScript to set internal flags inside the QuickTime .mov file as "un-editable". These flags can be reset using "hex editing" software but, again, beyond the scope of an average user. An example (one of mine):
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/
    Notice that the html code "forces" the QuickTime Player app to open instead of playing in a browser window. You own "Pro". Take a look at the menu options under the File menu.
    Notice that save, save as, export and share are unavailable?
    It would also be very difficult to use a screen recording app to capture my movie "window".

  • HT2513 Had to import Birthdays from yahoo calendar. Is there any way to move them to the iCal Birthdays calendar without manually inputing them each into Address Book?

    I used to use Yahoo Calendar to manage my birthdays and notifications of them. Yahoo screwed with something, so now I no longer get birthday notification texts to my cell. Now, I've imported my Yahoo Calendar dates in to iCal. iCal has a Birthdays "subscription" calendar which only shows birthdays entered into the Address Book. I do not have any birthdays entered into Address Book. Is there any way to select birthday entries from my other calendars and move them to the birthdays tab, or must I manually enter over 200 birthdays into Address Book?
    While I'm here, is there any way to highlight specific calendar entries and move them to a "new calendar"?
    THanks in advance for any and all help.
