  • HT4108 I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

    If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
    If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.

    I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
    It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
    Good Luck.

  • Can anyone explain why on my iPhone 4S, whenever I play music, it won't hold my place in the song? I pause it, and then when I go back later, it's all the way back at the beginning? A google search was not very helpful, any tips would be great!

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips?

    I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips? This is not hack/ripped video but a legit home movie.

    In this case, it looks like Quicktime wasn't very efficient in managing memory, leading to a slowdown in playback. If QT has a lag and VLC doesn't, that's more evidence.
    I couldn't say why your friend's windows computer plays the media fine, while your Mac doesn't. The only thing I could suggest is to disable QT streaming video - which has been known to slow down performance.

  • Each time i order a book, it says "network connection not available". Any tips to troubleshoot?

    Each time I try to order a book, it says "network connection not available". Any tips to troubleshoot?

    As the error message says, you computer cannot connect to the network.
    It is difficult for us to give advice since we do not know your network setup. Try the network diagnostics utility:
         Open System Preferences -> Network ;
    At the bottom of the window is a button labelled "Assist me", press it, then in the drop down panel press "Diagnostics" and inspect your network status.

  • I am trying to sync data on my iPad with my iPhone 5.   I thought it was something that it did automatically.  I do not have a PC to plug both into.  How can the info and apps be on both devices.

    Hello,  I am trying to sync the data from my iPad 3 with my iPhone 5.  My iPhone doesn't had the apps my iPad has.  The calendar
    events are not the same.

    You could use icloud to sync contacts and calendars.
    Both the ipad and iphone are intended to sync to a computer.
    You can redownload apps from the app store, assuming that they are iphone compatible.

  • I have  PS CS4 Extended. When I start it I get a message that I need to reinstall it. I search Adobes and found a download for Mac which I installed and when started entered myserial number. It was not accepted. Any tips?

    The file downloaded is named NikCollection_1.2.8_0511-456.dmg. The installation went ok but when I start photoshop i am prompted for my serial number,
    I have it on the back on my CD case (but my CD is not  working any more) and it is the same number as it registered at my Adobe account.
    Photoshop starts ok but after a while it prompts for my serial number. When I enter my serial number it is not accepted.
    Grateful for any tips.

    Did you go here for the installer? Download CS4 products
    When you enter the serial number see that you get the serial number correct, in fact copy and paste from the one in your account.
    You should see a green checkmark.
    If all goes well you should be allowed to install and activate. If activation fails, contact Customer Care by phone or Chat.

  • Ive switched my email for my appleID account and now i can do anything with my account because it keeps telling me my security code is invalid for my credit card when clearly its not no idea how to fix this

    anyone think they can help me out >

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Sometimes it says security code by it is the ZIP code. Sign into your account in the iTunes app on your computer and verify that all of the information is correct and agree to any new user agreements that may be needed.

  • TS3274 the battery in my IPD # could not be recharged, any tip how to handle it ?

    my new IPAD 3 could not be recharged, secondly could not be syncronized into my laptop using Itone...

    Usually when the iPad wont' sync or charge it's one of four things
    Bad outle - try a different one
    Bad cable - swap the USB out for another
    Bad Power Brick - swap it out if you have one
    Bad 30 pin port - take it to an APple store.
    Other things to consider, the iPad will not fully charge plugged into your comptuer's USB. It really needs to be plugged into the wall. So if you're trying to charge via USB, use the wall charger.
    If it still wont' sync, the iPad doesnt' like hubs or extnders, so plug it directly into your computer. ALso try different USB ports.

  • IPhoto Backup to External HD not working.  Any tips?

    Hi there. My hard drive is getting full of photos so I would like to put an iPhoto library of old photos on my external HD and keep new photos on my laptop HD. I researched the message board and found the following instructions (thanks to TD):
    =====
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    =====
    I followed these steps but am having a problem with steps 3 and 4. I copied the laptop HD iPhoto library to the external HD, and then as a quality check I added one extra photo to my laptop HD iPhoto library (the external HD copy does not have this extra photo). I then launched iPhoto holding control, and through the Finder window I clicked on the iPhoto library in the external HD. However, when iPhoto opens, the library that appears HAS the extra photo. In other words, it looks like iPhoto is launching the local laptop iPhoto library and not the external HD iPhoto library. So I'm having difficulty confirming that the "old" iPhoto library was, in fact, copied to the external HD and that I can access that external HD iPhoto library from iPhoto.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    To clarify, I launched iPhoto holding COMMAND, not control. Thanks.
    Yes, but the instructions say to hold the option (or alt) key
    Hold down the *option (or alt) key* while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    Regards
    TD
