Multi media

HiIm a brand new mac book pro user.Tried to play a dvd via my multi media projector. Could get the desk top projected on to the screen but not the dvd. On my old windows laptop I used to press shift and F10 to trip between the screen and pc. What do I do with the mac?

This is the wrong forum for this question, but I'll try to answer. If you have the laptop internal display mirrored onto the external projector display, then you should just need to play the DVD on the laptop display and it should appear on the projector. If you do not have mirroring enabled, then you need to drag the DVD window over onto the external display's desktop, and then you can play it there (even use full screen). Does that help?

Front Row - Mac Mini - and PowerBook G4, Mac-Mini Multi Media centre.

I will be purchasing a HDTV is the near future and would like to buy a Mac Mini to complement it. ( then sell my DVD player )
The big question are:
-Can I ( using Front Row ) stream AVI data (film) from my PB G4 to my Mac-Mini and watch the content on my new HDTV. ( over AirPort )
-Do I need to buy a new PB that also has Front Row ? ( I hope not )
-What type of video data can I stream ? (iTunes and iPhoto I already know about)
-What about HD DVD's when they come out. Is the drive in the Mac-Mini HD DVD compatible ?( I don't think so )
Please - If you have any other relevant points or question's about the Mac-Mini usage as a multi media centre, Post them here.
15" PB G4 SD 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I just tried a AVI film and it work's with QT,
although a mpg film did not.
Now that I think about it, I tried a mpg plug-in for
QT and was disappointed.
Has anyone had any success with such a plug-in ?
Another Question:
Must then this AVI data reside in iTunes for
Front-Row to "see" it ? How does this work ?
I guess that when a Blue-Ray drive is added to Apple
products that a HD DVD will not play, or will it play
it but only burn Blue-Ray ?
When shopping for a HDTV I asked about the difference
in Blue-Ray and HD and he told me that the TV will
play both versions.
I hope that the drive will also play both, although
the way I know Apple it will be Blue-Ray only. (
at-least in the beginning ) Remember DVD-R
i would not worry about the blu-ray - HD-DVD thing right now. too much still in the air. once they realize consumers are too un-techie to figure it out and just continue to buy DVD's their will be a standard plus their is already other formats being developed. then if you talking about movies and such my guess is downloaded content is the way apple will go with an itunes movie store but thats my guess.
but yes, HDTV's will play either, its the player. I have a 61" samsung 720p DLP and my new mac mini looks good on it at 1280x720. front row is great. I also watched a ton of HD trailers from quicktime's website and they were amazing.
and from what i have seen from front row it only shows content that is in itunes or iphoto not random folders but i could be wrong, still palying around with it.

Trouble with multi-media docking station

I have used my multi-media docking station every night since I got the phone in September. Last night I put my phone in and went to sleep only to wake up at 5 and realize that its not charging.
I took the phone off and put it back on and it still won't charge. After several tries I got up and got my usb charger and my phone charges fine on it.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Did you try taking the plug out of the back of the docking station and then reinserting it. Maybe it was knocked loose.

Does Mac have any plans to create and/or update drivers for multi-media hardware that is useless to me after "upgrading" to Mavericks? This is a waste of money for free..

I have found that since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, many pieces of audio hardware that was compatable with snow leopard is not compatable with mavericks. these machines are supposed to be the best for multi-media, now, without any warning, Mac has really messed this up. What are they thinking. I just converted from PC. Was it a $3000 mistake. MAC....Get BUsy, It can't be that hard to create some drivers that are compatable with common and popular pieces of hardware needed to do the projects I bought this thing for!!!!

similar problem here. running the latest 13 inch mbpr and ableton live software, mavericks obvsly.
experiencing crashes only with external soundcards attached. it happened with a usb interface (NI audio 2 dj) and with a echo audiofire 2 (firewire through thunderbold adapt.)
keyboard and trackpad got unresponsive after the crash with the usb interface as they run on the usb buss I suppose.
This is interesting: If i m running usb or firewire interfaces plugged in to my thunderbold display at home - i get 0 problems. it just works 100%
so what does this tell us? is the hardware of the macbook defective?
but why does the FW interface crash then when attached to the computer directly and not if attached to the display?
this is extremely frustrating. basically my job is using this machine on stage and i cant use it. i m back to my 2007 macbook now running 10.6, thinking about getting a USED machine which was before mavericks and haswell - think these are the issues and what i would like to know:
WILL THERE EVER BE A FIX FOR THIS ON THE LATE 2013 MBPr??

Multi Media Key Board

The multi media keys on my HP HID wireless Multi Media keyboard no longer work although the rest of the keys are O.K.. I think I did something wrong when I went into the 'properties' as I can no longer see the 'BUTTONS' listed there. Can anybody help please.

Hi Waren
Adding to Tulse's helpful suggestions...
I recently created my first Keynote. Before using the application I watched the short videos from this Apple Keynote Tutorial. This short time investment helped me immensely. Saved a lot of time.
Images: you will have to import your photos into iPhoto or Aperture, as Keynotes Media Browser accesses your images from those sources. And, as Tulse suggested keep images at or smaller than 1024x768. Otherwise you may experience lag time.
When I prepare images for Keynote, I first alter them in Photoshop as PSD files using a minimum of 240 dpi. When saving, I change the DPI to 150 dpi (probably can get away with 72 dpi, however I bumped it a bit just to be safe). Then, I save as a JPG using the maximum quality setting (12). Image size is usually around 350K. Then, I open iPhoto (or Aperture) and import the images (shift/command/I keys is the iPhoto shortcut). I haven't had any problems with artifacts, however, if you do, then I also second TIFF as the alternative.
Also, make sure you are creating the keynote presentation on the same machine you'll use to run Keynote. On the MacBook Pro in Keynote, you'll set the Keynote size via the Inspector>Document panel to match your machine's monitor display size. In your case, select the Custom option and set it to 1440x900.
Lastly, always best to have at least one dry run, ideally on screen. Keynote has great transitions. The tutorial provides some good suggestions about how to use them effectively to keep your audiences attention.
Good luck

C3 business cards sent as multi-media attachments

Hi, I have had my C3 for a couple of weeks and seem to battle with a number of functions. One such function is that when I am creating a msg and want to insert a number from my contact list, I dont have this option available. Instead I can select 'Insert Business Card' but when I do, the msg is automatically changed to a multi-media msg and the contact is sent as an attachment. My phone wont even send multi-media msg's so this is really frustrating, please help.

Do you have the option to send the card with or without image?
I don't have C3, but I have noticed in my C7 that business cards with images go as MMS, business cards without images go as SMS.
Worth checking...

Bluetooth won't pair both audio and phone. Car multi-media in range and turned on?

I have iOS 8.1.3. Can no longer use both phone and audio- it disconnects one to pair the other and doesn't allow both. Error message says make sure car multi-media is turned on, in range, and ready to use.

Thanks Peter! I had done that before multiple times with no success- even turning off bluetooth and the phone in hopes for a reset; I called Apple and my rad service person Shaquita requested I turn off my wireless, reset my network, and try again. That worked and both the audio and the phone paired. Have a great day! Hopefully this helps others with the same issue; but I understand that the bluetooth may kick out again and I may have to repeat this process. Kind regards, Angela

Searching multi-media content in IFS

Is it possible to search multi-media content
in IFS? For example:
"Find all audio clips with a trumpet in it",
or - "Find all video clips with whales in it"??
Any help in answering this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

(Hey, here's proof that I really do search the archives before posting. :-))
Moments ago, I was asked ...
Do you know if Oracle UCM has the capability to do speech recognition & transcription of audio and video files, and then make that transcription searchable?
So somebody checks in a piece of video, which presumably passes through FlipFactory on a refinery: can FlipFactory do anything fancy with the audio portion?
Likewise, if someone checks in an MP3 file, has anyone figured out how to get the content server to pass it through speech recognition and index the result?
My gut call would be to start out by passing, say, an MP3 file through some speech recognition software that produces an N%-accurate text file (before working with the content server). Then one approach would be to checkin in the MP3 & text file as the primary & alternate files respectively for a new content item: the content server would then index the alternate file, would it not? Another approach would be to create a folio of these two separate items.
Perhaps searching the recognized speech of a video clip could work in a similar fashion?
How did you solve this issue? :-)
Thanks!
Don

Multi media key

Hi.
It wont let alter any settings as once i press the multi media key. The screen blinks and then returns back to the normal standby status screen. Is there another way of changing it back to default?

I think you should try the factory resets. Use *#7780# first and if that does not work then try *#7370#
Remember to backup all your data before resetting.

Multi Media Card Compatibility

Hi,
Can you confirm if a Multi Media Card should be compatible with my Laptop. I have a 1G MMC card which is not recognised by the laptop, whilst a 32G SDHC card works as expected. I have downloaded and installed driver package sp69617 and this has made no difference.
I suspect it is not compatible with the Laptop but confirmation would be appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

From the Manual:
External media cards
HP Multi-Format Memory Card Reader slot
with push-push technology, supporting the
following digital card formats:
● Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card
● Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card
So no MMC. Sorry. Your only option is an inexpensive usb to MMC card reader:

Apple TV setup in Multi-media room

I received an Apple TV device and need to connect it into my Mult-Media room setup. I have receiver, wireless, PC running iTunes inside a closet. I would like to hook the Apple TV device to the HDMI splitter (rocketfish) in the closet. How?
Thanks for your help.

Nevermind, got it.

Compatible Multi-Media Keyboards that work with LiveDock & Arc S

I've just bought a LiveDock and a Trust multimedia keyboard (model 15035-02, picture below) with a trackball mouse built-in to go with my new Arc S phone. When you plug the USB dongle for the keyboard into the LiveDock, it sees it and comes up on the TV screen, but no cursor appears and no keys function on the keyboard. I can't take the keyboard back because I will get charged a 20% restocking fee, but don't fancy buying any more, just to find they aren't compatible.
Is there a list of compatible multi-media keyboards that work with the LiveDock? I bought the phone and the LiveDock primerily to use it next to the TV for odd browsing and would love a combined Keyboard and mouse to make it easier.
Could it be I've not configured something right? Is there a menu I've missed?
Cheers
Steve

Hi antonisk,
As I mentioned above, the Logitech K400 is superb for the job if you can purchase one. It is light and really easy to use with the phone and LiveDock.
I think Sony Ericsson should be more specific on the website about what works with their LiveDock. It should give at least a few compatible keyboards in the description and not just wait for people to buy the product and then spend time and money finding what will work with it.
They make great costly videos showing the customer that the LiveDock can be connected to a keyboard, mouse and games controller, but don't tell us which ones to go out and buy, if you want to take up this option.
I would have thought with these options being the main reason why the LiveDock was manufactured, that they would have spent a little time finding which devices actually work with it and not just waiting for people like myself to have to trawl the internet and worst still buy products that aren't compatible.

How do i turn car multi media on

i finally got my iphone 5 connected to my cars bluetooth however now the music audio wont stream through the blue tooth... i receive a message saying to make sure my car multi media is turned on or within distance...can you connect so both work w/out disconnecting the other?

Now I hope someone knows how to help you with this issue, but I did want to mention that even though it makes no since, some folks have said they had to purchase one song on iTunes and then their Bluetooth auto pairing worked for all functions. Believe me, I hate even typing this, but the threads are out there somewhere saying it worked for them.
