NEED HELP re: Smart TVS

I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and will be returning home in a few weeks and the wife and I are in need of a new tv. My question is this. I know I want a smart tv for all the added features and benefits but I need to find out if any of the smart tvs have the capability of being able to hook up an external hard drive via the USB ports and be able to actually watch the files that are on there?
Any help is greatly appreciated I figure if a smart tv cant do this then no tv can but any advice is welcome.
Thanks

Be careful with the claims for file support on TV's. Manufacturers will claim mp4 or mkv support but then only support specific settings within those file containers. Your best bet is to get an external player like one of the Western Digital Live players, connect that to the TV via HDMI, and use the player for your video playback.IT's really your best bet to avoid any sort of file incompatibilty.

Need Help With Smart Collections (Lightroom 2.7)

I am trying to set up a smart collection to list files that are blank in the Location field. Some fields such as Caption allow you to check if the field "is empty". Location does not allow the "is empty" option. What can I do to check if Location is empty or blank?

Does not contain a e i o u.
Yes, it's stupid that you need such workarounds.

I need help with smart builds.

*1st thing I want to do:*
Show a big picture, then have it shrink and move to the bottom left corner at the same time
*2nd thing I want to do*
Show a large picture of a house, then zoom in to the truss of that house, while the masking region stays the same. then have that picture shrink to the bottom left like the first example.
Is it possible to do this? Please help

I'm trying to do something similar, where I zoom and move an image, but I want the mask to remain fixed. Right now all I can seem to do is zoom and move the whole image, including the mask.
Were you able to fix the mask?

Need help with smart playlists

Hi all,
I have created a smart playlist in iTunes called 'not rated yet'. The settings are:
My rating = 0 stars +
podcast = no
In iTunes everything works fine. When a not rated song gets at least one star it disapears from the playlist. My iPod in contrast does not update the playlist as long as podcast = no is part of the playlist settings. When I remove podcast = no then the mini works again.
So I wonder if this is a bug? Does anybody have an idea?
By the way, I am using the latest iPod-updater software which is 1.4.1.
Windows XP iPod mini 2nd gen.

Thanks for looking into that. The way you described it, is the usual behaviour of smart playlists on the iPod. But the point is that Live Updating is selected and it will not update, even after re-entering the playlist. iTunes does it, as soon as you rate an item it will disappear. As described above it works on the mini, but only when I remove the podcast option.

Need help with smart playlist

I want to create an auto-fill function for my new 16 GB nano that is the same as my old Shuffle had, as I have much more music on my computer than my nano can hold. I don't want to rate the songs with stars or when last played. I simply want a new selection each time I sync. I was thinking of making a playlist with the rule "Playlist is music" and then limiting it by size to my nano and selected by random. But will I get a new sync each time? Or will that smart playlist never change? How do I do this?
Also, what does the live updating function do? Thanks.

To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "14800" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

NEED HELP just baught hp smart touch 300 second hand cost me alot. now i set it up an try to connect to wifi it does not conect even with ethernet cable no connexion so i restart it and it froze and will not load up at all can any1 help me asap plz

Hello LukeR2014,
Welcome to the Forums
I saw your post about your Touchsmart not booting up for you if I understand the issue correctly. I would like to help you, however I would need some more information to better research the correct troubleshooting guides for you.
Please explain to me in more detail about the problem. For example, will the computer start up and then completely shut
down or will it not turn on at all? Do you see any error messages? Lights? Any unusual noise?
Next, there are quite a few models of the Touchsmart 300, please find your exact model number and let me know which one you are working with.
Here is a guide to help you find it: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please also include which operating system you have on your PC: Which Windows operating system am I running?
I hope to hear from you shortly!
Regards,
R a i n b o w 7000I work on behalf of HP

Where's a smart person when you need one? My iphoto just will not open for no reason at all(I REALLY NEED HELP)

I have not done anything strange like changing something in my computer or IPhoto. One day it just decided not to open. I dont have my photos backed up from IPhoto and I really need the photos on there and Iphoto itself to graduate in two weeks.
I will click on Iphoto and it'll jump twice, open but it will be totally blank white and immediately have the spinning rainbow wheel and it never loads. I'll then put my mouse over the icona nd it'll say "IPhoto not responding" and everytime I have to force quit. I really dont understand what happened.
I have googled for days variations of "My Iphoto will not open" and none of what people are saying helps at all because all of them have done something to mess up their apps. I really really need help, please, its got to be something so simple because I didnt change anything on my computer.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I need help from someone smart

Ok, I'm using QuickTime 7 Pro and am having some troubles. First question. Is there anything I can do if, when I try to export a video it says "Error -2048: This file is not a video". Next, sometimes it exports the videos extremely fast (like 2 seconds) and then I can't find the exported version and it doesn't work. It looks like nothing happened. Just looking for some help please.

Is there or can Microsoft develop a app for smart TVs so you can stream from Windows Media Center

I have used Windows Media Center for years to record TV programs and have even sertup my kids Xbox 360 as an extender. I've recently purchased a smart TV which allows me to steam music and home videoes from Windows media player but ofcourse the .wtv
files will not play. Would it be possible to develop an app for Smart TVs and other devices so they can be used as extenders. I'm sure many people would be willing to pay for the app. I've tried some 3rd party extenders and not been
happy with there performance and I'd like to not need another box and remote. I'm sure these new TVs have the ability to do it will microsoft allow them too?

Hi,
I agree with S.Sengupta.
You may contact the support of the smart TVs and request a tool to match Windows media player.
Hope it helps.

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

Need help with Macbook reinstall on new hard drive!

Hey Everyone!
So my old MacBook A1181 was damaged a bit in a fall from a shelf. I followed all the directions on PowermacMedic (bless them!) and put in a new LCD screen, as the old one was cracked. Cleaned a lot of cat hair out of machine while I was at it.
I also replaced the hard drive with a new one, because the old one had a question-mark-over-a-folder icon. I'm very proud of myself, as there are only four screws left over. LOL!
So now it's time to reinstall the Tiger system. The optical drive is not working, so I researched on how to make an external hard drive bootable, put the Tiger Installation on that and connected it via FireWire to the old MacBook.
Turned it on and pressed Alt/Option at the same time. Great...up popped the Tiger Installation information. I've clicked on Install, etc., and am at the point where I need to choose a destination drive. Except there is none listed.
I've gone to Disk Utility, and I can see the new drive there, but just the icon as the major piece of hardware...there's no sub-icon for it underneath, like there usually is.
So, any ideas on how to make my new hard drive readable so I can choose it from the Tiger Installer?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've never even attempted to do something like this before, and I don't want to give up just yet!
Jenny

Do this:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.
