  • HT1600 at the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared suggesting a connection using a micro usb connection to i believe Itunes. the apple tv did not come with a micro usb connection. What to do.

    At the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared showing a connection - micro usb  - to apple itunes. I don't have this micro connection. I now can't watch apple tv. what is going on?

    Many newer cameras have the Micro USB cable you can use.
    Otherwise, you will need to buy one to restore your Apple TV.

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Want to try and communicate via skype using external isight, but ichat kicks in everytime i plug in. any advice welcome

    Hi, i am trying to set up with Skype using an external isight camera, but everytime i plug in Ichat keeps kicking in. Tried it on my os 10.4, 10.5.5 and 10.5.8 .. 10.5.5 Skype seems to not want to work at all, but the other 2, the problem seems to be with ichat bursting in whenever the camera is plugged in. thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    In older versions of iChat there is a setting in iChat > Preferences > Video that enables the App to Start when an External camera is plugged in.
    This can be unticked to stop this action launching the app.
    As for Skype not working in some OS versions you may have to pay attention to the version of Skype that can be used.
    I don't use Skype and have not kept abreast of the changes and how they might apply to the different versions of the OS.

  • Any chance of using my own pictures to transition through menus?

    does anyone know how to add a picture to the transitions between Menu and Menu/track to the list of transitions in the inspector?
    i am using the marque for my start menu. would like to use my own pictures to transition through between menu and menu and menu and track. any chance i can do that?
    i've tried adding the pictures to the transitions folder in DVDSP app support .
    and changing the extention. but still can't get it to work.
    i'm creating the pictures in photoshop.
    thanks
    cb

    Okay. i did go to the menu, and transitions in inspector tab.
    for the start picture i picked the Marque (this is a template), then i want to transition into and through a picture i made in Photoshop and then the end image will be the submenu which in this case is the theater interior.
    I'd also like to use that same picture to transition from the submenu choices to the different tracks (in this case 4 different tracks).
    if i use a picture, and i put that picture into a file i create in Library/application support/DVDSP/cityscape folder (which is what i named the picture AND the folder), and that now comes up in the list of transitions in the inspector in DVDSP after i highlight the menu like you suggested, and i choose the picture for the transition, it seems that i cannot fade from first image to picture and fade back to last image which would be the submenu image.

  • I took a picture from iPhoto to use as my screensaver but the screensaver appears pixillated while the picture in iPhoto is fine.

    You mean like they do in the TV crime show shows like CSI?  A cell phone screen from 20 feet is going to be way too small to make any sense of. 

  • When I open or paste a picture into Photoshop, the picture appears darker than it was originally.

    It doesn't matter whether or not I copy and paste the picture into the program, or if I save it first and then open it through Photoshop. The picture appears darker and more contrasted than the original does. I've never had this problem until today.

    I'm just trying to use this picture, but when the problem arose I tested multiple pictures from various websites and from my own collection to see if it was just the picture or Photoshop itself. All of the pictures I tested had the same problem. Here's exactly what is happening to the picture: this is the original, and this is what it looks like once I open it into Photoshop. As for my color settings, here's what they are right now. I have never changed them from what they were originally.

  • ??? And no pictures appear??? Never had this before.

And no pictures appear??  Never had this problem before and we've owned this Mac since 2007. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

  • Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him.  I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account).  I use icloud to sync calender and contacts with outlook 2007.  How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud ?

    Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him.  I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account).  I use icloud to sync calendar and contacts with outlook 2007.  How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud so I can sync the same contacts and calendar?

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

  • Since I lost windows explorer I am not able to copy and paste pictures on my emails using either photobucket or just pictres

    I send out flyers to around 100 plus people almost everyday. I have no problem forwarding someone Else's pictures but I can't copy and paste a picture into my emails with photobucket or my own pictures myself. I was able to do this with windows explorers but since it doesn't work I use firefox and that doesn't work. It is frustrating. I can still go to my pc and do this process but not my laptop.
    I would really appreciate your advice are you compatible with yahoo?

    WHich system?
    Any third party plugins installed?
    Any clipboard extensions in your system?
    Maybe Pushbullet?

    Hello Maxayla,
    It sounds like you are getting error code 1 when you were attempting a restore. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article which mentions that error code:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#1
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Is it possible to use iSight with Messenger for Mac?

    I have been racking my brain on how to get iSight to work with my friends on Window messenger. The video option is not available. I've had my macbook for 2 months now and, after working/giving up and going back again cannot seem to get it to jive. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, flowerlove
    The answer here will depend on the specifics of what you want to do.
    Both Microsoft Messenger for Mac and the older MSN Messenger for Mac are text only apps. You can not use iSight with either. Please let us know if you mean some different "Messenger" software.
    This Windows Messenger does not appear to offer video, even for PCs. If this is the application your friends are using, no video work with it.
    For a built-in iSight video connection with PC contacts who only connect via Windows Live Messenger or other clients of the MSN Messenger server, you can select from these alternatives:
    (1) Because your MacBook can use Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows XP software on your MacBook, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows instant messenger application that your contacts are using to do video.
    (2) and (3) In addition to Niel's good "aMSN" suggestion, you can also try Mercury Messenger for Mac. Either can work with OS X for video and text chat. They offer the same features, but neither offers audio connections.  Use whichever one of these two you find more reliable or easiest to use if you do not want to add Windows XP to your iNtel Mac,.

  • Using isight with two different OS

    I have a G4 running OS10.2.8 and I want to connect to my son who has a iMac G5 running 10.4. I want to buy 2x iSight cams, one for each of us, and want to know if this set up will work.
    Thanx a bunch for any help.

    Hello Lan,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In addition to Bill's good comments, I offer the following:
    If you currently have iChat AV 2.0 for Jaguar, you will be able to chat with your son provided he meets HIS requirements and you have broadband internet service. You can be sure about which version of iChat you have by issuing the
    b iChat > About iChat
    menu command.
    The link Bill cites shows Apple's System Requirements for iChat AV 3. This would require that you upgrade your 10.2.x system to 10.4.2
    See this page for System Requirements for iChat AV 2.1. This would require that you upgrade your 10.2.x system to 10.3.9
    Mac OS X 10.2.x originally came with iChat 1.0. iChat versions earlier than v2.0 will NOT do video. If you do not already own iChat AV 2 for Jaguar, you will need to upgrade your Mac OS to get video capability.
    At one time, Apple sold an iChat AV 2.0 upgrade for the original (non-AV) Jaguar iChat, but they stopped selling (or supporting) it in October, 2004.
    My Mac OS Panther install disks include the Panther version of iChat AV 2.0. A free iChat AV 2.1 Updater is available from Apple to bring the Panther version of iChat AV to the most current
    b Panther
    version, which offers one-to-one audio and video capability. (This is an Updater ONLY. It requires iChat AV already be installed from your Panther installer disks.)
    The only way to buy iChat AV from Apple nowadays is to buy Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.x, which includes iChat AV 3. iChat AV 3 is capable of multi-party text and audio conferencing for those who meet the System Requirements for iChat AV 3. Tiger's Mac OS X 10.4.2 Update upgrades you to the current iChat AV 3.0.1.
    If you need more info on iChat AV, see the iChat AV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or the iChat AV Discussions.
    You may also be interested in the the iSight Tips and FAQ. As implied in the How To Ensure Your iSight Is Functional FAQ, new users may want to consider buying iSight at a brick and mortar store.
    Ask for a demonstration of the very same iSight you will take home. This will let you see how easy it is to connect, let you verify that it works, and give you an opportunity to ask any questions where you can
    b see
    the responses applied.
    If you have a Mac notebook, heed the magnetic mount warning in the What Mounting Hardware is available for iSight? FAQ.
    This response has grown longer that I thought, but once both you and your son are using the same Mac OS, you can eliminate all the other possibilities described above.
    As a new user, you may be interested these suggestions for Using iSight with iChat AV.
