The only movies you can play must be in your iTunes library. If your iTunes library resides on this USB drive then yes. If not, then no.

External HD On WiFi Network To Share iTunes Media

Currently I have a wireless network set up using Airport Extreme. At this time I have my MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini on it along with one AppleTV. I just purchased a 6TB MyBookLiveDuo from Western Digital. I am goign to plug it into the Airport Extreme.
What I would like to be able to do is put all of my media files on the WD HD so I can access them from any computer that is on my Wifi Network.
I noticed when I opened iTunes on my MacBook Pro that the MyBookLiveDuo shows up under Shared Libraries.
What I did on my MacBook Pro is direct my iTunes files to be stored on the MyBookLiveDuo so it is directed to /volumes/public/.
I also tried putting Movies in the MyBookLiveDuo/Public/Shared Vidoes folder, when I go into iTunes and select the MyBookLiveDuo under shared libraries nothing shows up.
So I was wondering if someone could suggest how to set up my WiFi Network with the MyBookLiveDuo WD HD so that I can keep all of my media files on the MyBookLiveDuo and be able to access them from any computer on the WiFi network.
I would also be able to access the MyBookLiveDuo Media Files from my iPad and iPhone if possible.
Any suggestions or information on where to look would be appreciated.

I figured it out. It was easier than I thought it should be. The library popped into the other computers about the playlists and I didn't think they would appear so easily.

Quick question about Quicktime media keys.......

I had a question about encoding video and media keys. It seems to me that the only codec that allows you to encode it with a media key is Sorenson (Sorenson 3 I think). Why are they the only ones that are enabling that in their codecs? Is it kind of a dying technology or practice? I've experimented with Sorenson 3 and Sorenson Squeeze trials and, even though it looks ok, it simply doesn't stack up to others like Apple's H.264 or open-source x264 or even Xvid. I guess I wish there were a way to be able to use media key options with all the new H.264 codecs. Is it possible to do that, either with Xcode or AppleScript? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

QuickTime has supported 'media keys" since version 3 but you can only add them using the third party software.
You would be better served by contacting Sorenson and asking them about their support for newer codecs.

Stolen phone reappearing on my Wifi network - questions for proof of a crime

Background info My stepdaughters phone went missing about two weeks ago. On the smart wifi there is a device list and it has a history of all devices ever connected to my network. My stepdaughters iphone appeared as "Nicole's Iphone" under my network. Similarly everyone's devices appeared with their names. The day the phone went missing my stepdaughters iphone appeared as "offline". Yesterday while playing playstation I noticed my connection was a little shotty so i decided to check how many devices were connected to the router - and i see "Nicole's Iphone" was "online". Ecstatic, i called my wife and said we found the phone. My wife calls her mom and the mom questions the two girls if they had actually found the phone. Both of them denied it. But my neice had a brand new white iphone 5 (the same color and model as my step daughters missing phone) and it was connected to our wifi under "adriana's iphone" When questioned where she got the phone from because nobody had bought it for her she said a boy at school gave it to her. about 45 minutes had passed and the phone suddenly went offline again - she called the boy to come pick up the phone because "she didn't want any problems" When we told her to tell the boy to come back with the phone she all of a sudden doesn't know his address, his last name, and he magically doesnt respond to any of her messages when using another phone. The proof of theft My neice had a phone which i had blocked internet access to because i didnt know who's device it was and i thought it was a random person. The name in the device list came up as Wendy. Wendy is one of her friends who has been at the house before. Wendy gave her that phone and she reformatted it. Even though the name in the phone was now Jackie it still showed up in our device list as Abby because the MAC address never changed. I told my neice that the reason we know it is Nicole's Phone is because the MAC address of the device is the same therefore it is the same exact device. She claimed that the phone says Jackie and it is her friend's phone and she doesnt know why it is coming up under Nicole. She doesnt know about MAC addresess at all and that it is a unique code written into the device by the manufacturer. A call with customer service I called linksys technical support to voice my security concern and they confirmed that the mac address is unique. They also confirmed that I can assume that the phone is my step daughters iphone. What i need from the Linksys Community I am going to show my family this thread later in the day. Please confirm everything that I am trying to convey. This girl is 13 years old and stealing from her own family. I need backup to show my family that I am not falsely accusing anyone of a crime. Definitive evidence is definitive evidence. While they might not be tech savvy nobody can deny cold hard facts. I dont want to paint a negative portrayal of this girl because i do believe people make mistakes and i do believe she can be a productive member of society, But the lack of remorse is pissing me off. The look on her face is like there is no way in hell i can prove she stole the phone. Help me out.

you should be able to confirm the phone id number with your cell venxor as well. check for the imei number and they should be able to verify that

Question about Recovery Media Creator

Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this question should be in this catergory, but I thought this would be the best to post in.
My question is about the Recovery Media Creator procces. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed there are several Recovery Media options (Recovery Media 1 to Recovery Media 3).
My question is, what are the differences between them? Does it matter if I only check one of them so I would need less DVD's or a smaller USB?
Thanks in advance.
PS. excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is any mistake.

Using Toshiba recovery media creator recovery image saved on HDD will be copied on DVDs or USB media and it will be created as bootable media.
How many discs must be used depends on recovery image. For some notebooks 2 discs are needed and for some of them you need 3 discs.
The tool gives you also info which medias you can use and suggest you, for instance which USB device you need. For my U940 is 16 GB USB listed as suggested due to 9,2 GB recovery image.

Question about Playing Videos from Digital Camera on iPod

I just got an iPod video and it won't let me put my video recordings from my digital camera on it. I got this camera about six months ago and it will play through Windows Media Player but will not on iTunes. What's weird is that my iTunes plays videos from my really old digital camera.
Does anyone know how I can play my videos?

I don't create videos myself but this might help you.

Question about playing mp3 in iPhone web browser.

If a web page has a link to a mp3 file, will I be able to click on that link and play the mp3 file right inside the browser? Can I download that mp3 file and where will it be stored after download?

Good news. You no longer need to sync video to your iPhone if you have a Mac running 10.5.
StreamToMe on the app store allows you to stream most of the common video formats to your iPhone via wifi (converting them automatically for you).
You can even use your iPhone as a media center by connecting a TV-out cable to stream movies from your Mac to your TV.

Question about Windows Media plugin(s) for MBP

I like to listen to baseball games via Gameday Audio at MLB.com; however, it seems that I am unable to do so using my MacBook Pro because their service requires a Windows Media Player plugin for your web browser, and the WMP installer does not install one.
I tried installing Flip4Mac, but that's not universal yet, so I've come up empty. Any other suggestions as to how I can work around this problem and listen to the games?
Thanks in advance,

I can't get Gameday Audio to play on my MacBook Pro either. I've intalled the Flip4Mac patch (via Rosetta); the Flash plugin; Windows Media Player; Firefox for Intel-based Macs. I've tried opening Safari in Rosetta. I've had some success playing free video and audio from Major League Baseball in both Safari and Firefox. But whenever I log into the subscription audio service, it fails. Firefox tells me, "Additional plugins are required" but, when I agree to install them, it informs me that "no suitable plugins were found." For its part, Safari says, "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?" I do try, but WMP is never up to the task: the rainbow spinner goes round and round and Force Quit confirms that WMP is "not responding." I'm invariably reduced to pulling out my old computer to hear the game. I've talked to MLB about this, and suspect that their stock advice for Mac users does not yet take into account Intel-based Macs. Do I have to wait on Flip4Mac to produce a patch specifically for Intel-based Macs. Can anyone recommend anything else?

Networking question about routing...

Hello everyone,
I have the folowing problem:
I want to go www.mydomain.com from my internal network... but somehow it does not work.
my configuration:
I have my server on local LAN with IP 10.0.0.1, my router has the 10.0.0.1 under DMZ. If I acces myserver.local works if I acces mydomain.com it does not work.
myserver.local resolves to 10.0.0.1
mydomain.com resolves to 194.xxx.xxx.xxx the IP that is configuret on the router.
also from outside the LAN when I go to mydomain.com it works.
Any ideeas where my packeges get stuck?
Thank you, George.

Hi Todd,
The answer is perfect. It is possible to use any field FML or FML32 for routing, but for FML the maximum number limit is 8191.
I read this documentation [http://e-docs.bea.com/tuxedo/tux91/rf5/rf519.htm ]. In DM_ROTUING section
Required parameters for the DM_ROUTING section
FIELD = identifier
Specifies the name of the routing field. It must be 30 characters or less. It is assumed that the value of identifier is one of the following: a field name that is identified in an FML field table (for FML and FML32 buffers); an XML element or element attribute (for XML buffers); or an FML view table (for VIEW, X_C_TYPE, or X_COMMON buffers). Two environment variables, FLDTBLDIR and FIELDTBLS or FLDTBLDIR32 and FIELDTBLS32, are used to locate FML field tables. Similarly, two environment variables, VIEWDIR and VIEWFILES or VIEWDIR32 and VIEWFILES32, are used to locate FML view tables. If a field in an FML or FML32 buffer is used for routing, the value of that field must be a number less than or equal to 8191.
“If a field in an FML or FML32 buffer is used for routing, the value of that field must be a number less than or equal to 8191“. This sentence was confusing.
Thank you.

Legal question about using media..

If I were to use different images of downtown New York/LA for a commercial product would that be legally okay? I could even change the names of the stores... i just need a scene of an empty city for an educational product that will be sold.

I'm not an attorney but understand one of the primary rules is the "expectation of privacy." It is hard to see how a storefront could have an expectation of privacy.

Game Center Question about WiFi

Does anyone know if you can play games with someone connected to the same WiFi as you? I've read about port forwarding requirements and that seems to indicate you cannot since you can't forward a port to multiple IPs.
I have tried to paly a game with another ipod in the house and game requests never reach either IPOD.

Make sure that there is a tick next to your wifi network of choice. This is under Settings>Wi-Fi>
If there is no tick the Wi-Fi will be on but not connected.

My ipad mini is not connecting to the wifi network. I have the correct network and password chosen, but the message I get is that "unable to join". I have reset my ipad and it still says the same thing. What can I do about this.

Question about sorting files in media library

Hey,
I'm Sam Hoste from Belgium and I have a question about sorting music files in my media library in iTunes.
My music collection mainly exists of complete albums instead of individual songs. The problem is that I can not play the songs of an album in the same order as on the tracklist of the album in the media library of iTunes.
I also take very good care of the ID3 tags from my mp3-files, but that doesn't help.
For example, if I had an album with the following tracklist,
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7,
every music file would have an ID3 tag for tracknumber (1, 2, 3, ...), an ID3 tag for artist ("Artist" or "Artist ft Otherartist"), an ID3 tag for title (Song 1, ...) and an ID3 tag for album ("Albumname").
When I load this album in my media library in iTunes, I cannot get them sorted by album and by tracknumber on that album. When I sort by artist I get this list:
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5.
But that's normal, but even if I sort by album I get the same list:
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5.
So the songs aren't in the same order as they are supposed to be on the CD. And I would really like my albums to play in the same order than on the tracklist on the CD.
I think the problem is caused by the fact that when you sort by "album" in iTunes media library, iTunes first sorts by albumname, and second by artistname, and third by tracknumber. In stead of sorting first by albumname, and then second by tracknumber in stead of the artist.
My question: Is there a way to make sure iTunes sorts by albumname, and then by tracknumber in stead of artist, so I can play my albums in the same order as on the CD? Or is there an other solution for this issue?
Thanks and kind regards,
Sam Hoste

Muvo V200, question about the play m

Hello,I have a question about the play mode on my V200. I want to play the songs in a specific order (like in a playlist) but I don't find the way to do this. Can you help me please ?
Thanks
(sorry if I don't speak english very well, but I'm french )

Hi!
To get the tracks to play in a specific order, put numbers at the beginning of each file name. E.g.: file 'examplesong.mp3' would become '0_ examplesong.mp3' Don't spend years doing that manually though; the computer will do it for you! Click on 'my computer', then click on 'Muvo V200 media explorer'.. This shows the contents of your player. Choose the folder that you want to reorder the songs in...
( it's best to put the songs in folders, like you would in a floppy disk, as the muvo can only hold a certain amount in the root directory, and folders are great for organisation - eg: you can put one CD in each folder, and then the player will play all of the tracks in that folder before moving on to the next one )
...and click on it to display the songs. In the pictures along the top of the window, 4th from the right is an icon with a downward facing arrow and an A above a Z. Click on this, it's called 'custom sort'. You can then use the arrows at the bottom to change the order of your tracks to how you want them. Click OK, and they'll all be numbered (and so will play) in that order.
Hope that helps!
