My iTunes is now playing every video to the apple TV

There doesn't seem to be any option to play content only on my mac & not have it stream to the apple TV. I'd like to be able to watch something on the mac & something else on the apple TV!

Believe me, very easy to misinterpret questions or make incorrect assumptions. Sometimes that's the way we as individuals interpret things, sometimes the way questions are posed with details missing, phase of the moon, too many beers etc etc.
At the end of the day these are just user to user forums, the participants giving their time for free to try to help others with similar interests, and even contributors with many points can get things completely wrong, appear like complete buffoons or sages, and often learn new things themselves from new posters.
Anyhow, hope the glitch resolves itself so you can ditch the workaround.

  • I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime. If I use safari it works fine. Any suggestions

    I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime again yet if I'm safari it plays fine. Any suggestions?

    That sounds like IE wants you to install the QuickTime ActiveX control.
    Go back to the page you're getting the message on. At the bottom of the screen, can you see a long rectangular box asking you to allow/install something? (Sorry, it's been a while since I've seen the box in question, so I can't recall the precise wording.)
    If so, allow/OK in that box. After the ActiveX control has gone in, can you see the videos in IE?

  • Every time i try to play a video on the apple site it says i'm missing a plug in. what plug in am i missing?

    Everytime I try to play a video on the apple site it says I'm missing a plug in. Can some one tell me what plug in I'm missing?
    Thank you!

    You don't need Flash or any other third-party software to view any content on apple.com.
    From the Safari menu bar, select Safari ▹ Preferences… ▹ Security and check the box labeled Enable plug-ins.

  • When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
    Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

  • I cannot get my Macbook pro to play all videos (specifically the Apple tuto

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me!!!
    I recently purchased the a new Macbook pro (13inc) and having trouble watching videos. After downloading two applications (Dixv Player, and Flash player) in particular after reading the forums here, I can now watch Youtube clips, and films. HOWEVER - I went to go onto a tutorial on the apple website and it wouldn't play. I can hear the audio but there is no picture When I click the video tutorial it opens the video in Dixv.
    Really hope someone can help!
    Thank you in advance.
    Johnny

    Thanks so far for your help Andy.
    The main problem I got is that I want to be able to play all videos from Apple tutorials, to other downloaded items / videos from various sites. I have deleted the Divx programme as suggested, however, I then cant play other films.
    Im in a bit of catch 22 situation, ay? If I delete Divx I can watch apples tutorials but cant watch a load of other videos.
    Ideally (hence why i got the Macbook Pro) I would like the play all videos!!!???
    Thanks again for your help Andy and any other suggestions are much appreciated, or, if you could direct me to where I may be able to find more advice.
    Thanks again.
    Johnny
    P.S
    There must be a way whereby my Macbook pro can find the appropriate programme (ie, when clicking on a video link) to play the tutorials, through Quicktime player for example.

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo. i restored and updated it with itunes and now it wont get off the apple logo. what does this mean and what do i need to do?

    i was trying to delete some songs from my ipod. so i plugged it into itunes and it froze. i help the home and menu button to reset it and now its stuck on the apple logo. i plugged it back into itunes, it updated the software i dont know if it restored the ipod. but now its stuck on the logo and it keeps going to the white screen and then back to the logo. what do i do?

    Try restoring. Make sure you have a backup first.

  • Ipod Classic, no Now Playing for videos?

    Is this only on my classic, or am I the only one who is bothered by this? When I pause a video on my ipod to go through a playlist or back to the main menu, there isn't a 'now playing' option to resume the video i was watching. Also If I pause the video for too long and the ipod shuts off I can't resume the video when I turn it back on. The previous generation wasn't like this, is it just the Classic I own? It's making it a bit harder to watch movies on the go, if I can't turn off and on my ipod without losing my place in a movie. It's like reading a book without a book mark.

  • ITunes won't play quicktime videos on Mac anymore.

    I'm using 10.7.3
    iTunes 10.6
    MacBook Pro 2.6Ghz 4GB ram
    iTunes won't play my video anymore and it's been a while I'm not sure when it occured if it's after an update to snow leopard or iTunes updates...
    When I double click a video I get "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." ??
    ...and cannot convert the option doesn't work I get this other message when trying to convert a version for APPLE TV in advanced menu "None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found."??
    But the movies are quicktime movies in my library and the MPEG-4 plays in iTunes but not on APPLE TV.
    From all my videos I get one only going through APPLE TV and when I try opening it it says error occured why opening and never works??
    It seems APPLE is regularly messing things up in updates to loose people so they have to pay for tech support, I didn't upgrade to iPhoto 11 and cannot import anything anymore into it so my entire library is a dead one ; not a cool way to do business than messing people software so they have to buy newer versions!!!
    Any specialists that know how to fix this ??

    The 32-bit solution has never, I repeat, never worked for me.  I've even done a full reinstall on a clean drive of OSX Lion with a fresh install of iTunes downloading a video of "The Big Bang Theory" that just came out this last thursday and still get the error (just finished the full reinstall to a clean drive now and, no, I didn't do any backup restores.)
    The only solution I've found is to remove the video from iTunes, without deleting the file, then import the file back into iTunes.
    Switching to 32-bit iTunes to run the file causes iTunes to tell me it needs to open iTunes to play the file then it sits and waits for itself to open until I cancel the process.  The video then plays without audio.
    I have noticed that I can stream the files to my Apple TV to play even while getting the error trying to play them on the computer I downloaded the files onto.
    As a result of this error, I've had to reduce the amount of content I purchase from iTunes.  no more buying whole seasons at a time unless I do it at the start of the season.  Even then, I'm reconsidering it.  The amount of work required to get the files into a playable status on the computer is simply too great on an on-going basis.

  • ITunes won't play music videos.

    iTunes won't play music videos.

    Hey guys, here's my problem.
    I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
    Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
    I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
    I'm lost. Any help?

    Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
    Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
    Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.
    Happy Music Video Watching

  • HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
    Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
    For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

    I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

    beggsc54,  There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1.  If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.
