Online Streaming services

There are numerous online streaming services which make it possible to watch selected TV programs on my Apple computer.
How can I view/transmit these programs to a HD TV:
1. Can Apple TV be used for this purpose?
2. If not, how should the computer be connected to the TV set? Via airport express?

No, unless you have an ios device (iphone, ipod touch, ipad) and they have an app/enable support with the next update.
To connect a computer to the TV you would have to do so via cables. Alternatively there are other streaming devices but you would have to research as to what fits your needs.

Online Streaming Authentication issues with Chrome

I get caught in a never ending login loop when I try to authenticate with my Verizon ID for online streaming services such as stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra, stream.golfchannel.com, nflonline.nfl.com, etc. Others have reported the same issue with showtime's online streaming service. I have cookies enabled and I continue to get caught in login loops when I'm using Chrome. I do not have the same issue with Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox. This has been reported before but it doesn't seem to be a high priority. Please fix this issue ASAP.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looks like its an issue with the built in "Pepper" Flash player in Chrome. I disabled the built in Chrome flash player and enabled the system flash player and all my authentication issues have gone away on Chrome. WatchESPN, NBC Sports Live Extra, Watch NFL Network all work now.
Verizon...please work with Google on a permanent fix for this!!!
To anyone else having authentication issues on Chrome... use this link to disable the pepper flash player: http://newtriks.com/2012/12/01/how-to-disable-the-chrome-pepper-flash-player/

USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.

USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES
For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.
Incident 1. Since many months attempts to download new and updated APPs produced a response – Apple ID Disabled. I had no time to consult an APPLE Store due to work in distant lands. When I finally visited yesterday I was told that as my IPAD has been reported as stolen, and APPLE in its wisdom had blocked its usage! I am not sure how they became so misinformed and nobody every advised me while with a few swift moves APPLE could have located me by email address or SKYPE.
Incident 2. Once the above anomaly had been fixed I tried to down load a newspaper and diligently input my address, credit card number and personal data. Repeatedly I was advised that my Credit Card was invalid and my postal code was incorrect! Really!
I was left to guess that having moved from UK to the US I should have advised APPLE! Not being told of this requirement brought about a second visit to APPLE Store in the same day to waste both mine and their time with a routine anomaly. How parochial in the context of a globalized world!
In each case I tried to resolve the issues using online access to a help line and by calling by phone at the numbers on the APPLE Website. In each of four separate occasions I diligently went through the routine and ended up with a message that thanked me for contacting Apple followed by a polite ‘Good Bye’!
In desperation I went to an Apple Store for the second time in a day as it is close to where I live when I am not working. On both occasions I was courteously attended to by Apple Staff.
However, my work is usually far away from the US and it is generally many thousands of miles to the nearest Apple Store therefore online help is viewed as imperative if one is to resolve issues away from home.
Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help? It would cost nothing in relative terms and might restore my high level of anti-APPLE sentiment that these two recent events have provoked.

Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help?
If that is your question, the answer is at the bottom right of this web page. It is clearly marked "Contact Us" and is the best way, really the only way, to contact Apple.
If there were a publicly posted email address for concerns such as yours, it would be quickly filled with spam in about three minutes, thereby becoming instantly useless to you and everyone else. Apple would need to change it hourly, if not more often. That is also the reason you ought not to post your name, location, and what appears to be your iPad's serial number on this publicly viewable website.
Apple does not respond here and I can find no other questions for your fellow Apple users to answer.

Use Microsoft Online Directory Services as a user authentication provider for our own SharePoint farm?

Hi,
I've managed to configure my farm so that Microsoft Online Directory Services (Office 365 etc.) can be used for STS authentication, but what I'm actually trying to do is allow user authentication - that is, I'm hoping to be able to use the user's
O365 credentials to authenticate them in my own farm so they can view certain parts of it. If I need to write my own login form or authentication provider or whatever that's fine, as long as the user doesn't need to enter anything when they access my farm
(provided they already have cached O365 credentials in their browser session).
FWIW I actually need to be able to support the possibility that users are coming from multiple O365 tenancies, whereby each site collection will be configured to allow users from a different O365 tenancy (more or less).
If it's not possible to do with my own development farm on a PC, it is possible if the farm is hosted in Azure?
Thanks
Dylan

Hi Dylan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Microsoft Online Directory Services as a user authentication provider for your SharePoint farm.
For your demand, you can configure a hybrid topology for your SharePoint farm:

Low Resolution when uploading to online printing service

When I upload photos from iPhoto to an online printing service (Walmart, Costco, Shutterfly) photos show up as low resolution. When I take the picture I use the higest resolution. Are there any suggestions on how to rectify this situation? I have uploaded and printed before with no problem. Do I have to use the memory stick directly to the site or change settings?
My camera is a Sony DSC-W55.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How are you going about uploading?
Are you digging the files out of the DATA folder in the iPhoto Library Folder? If so, you're using the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display purposes.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
I suggest you use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. There iPhoto will make a copy. Upload that, and when the upload is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

Multi-lingual Error: The translation failed because the online translation service was unavailable

Hi,
We need to implement multi-lingual functionality in SharePoint 2013 on premise server. We have implemented the functionality by referring the below URL.

My daughter is missing and has her iPhone 4S with her. When I log into iCloud it says online, location services off. Does that mean there is no way for me to track the phone?

My daughter has been missing for a week and has a serious medical condition. She has an iPhone 4S and when I log into find my iPhone it says online , location services off. Does that mean there is no way to track the phone? Please I'm willing to try anything to get my baby home. Thanks.

Without location services, there's no way the device can be tracked. It's location services that provide the device's location to any apps that need that info, including the Find My iPhone service. Sorry.

Online printing services and that built into Aperture

Hi,
I regularly have pictures printed by a well known high street photo store here in the UK but just recently I've been disappointed with some of the results.
They're coming back too dark and with a yellow cast even though the original files look fine when viewed on several different modern monitors, some calibrated, some not. I even run my monitor at minimum brightness when preparing them to try to simulate how dark they will look when printed using this service. I also add much more exposure to some pictures in Aperture to the point where they start to look washed out and even then they come back a bit dark.
I'm therefore looking to find an alternative service. Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable online printing service that produces results close to the electronic versions viewed on their monitor?
Has anyone tried the built in "Order Prints" option in Aperture? How did it go?
I briefly tried to use this option last night but for some reason it didn't recognise my Apple ID which I thought was the same as I use to log into these forums ie "d60Dave" in my case. Am I mistaken?
Regards,
Dave.

I second that about photobox. I've used them for 2 years or so - never had to send anything back. I've been pleased with the results for prints, posters and small booklets. online service only

Export for online printing service question...

Hi all...I am new to all this exporting business so please bear with me. In the past if i wanted prints made i just burnt them to a disk and took the disk to a local photo lab to have printed. So the question is when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting? I noticed the default dpi setting is 72 for all the export presets. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...Dave

hello, dave
quote: "when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting?"
when someone else is doing your printing always ask them how they want your Versions delivered first prior to burning the DVD, for example, 16bit TIFF, 8bit TIFF, colorsync (color mangement), dpi...there is an excellent tutorial/information on this in Aperture's help menu "Photography Fundamentals"
what i do is edit the photograph by softproofing to the printer used. in Aperture select the Proofing Profile & then Onscreen Proofing

How to use online backup services with a Mac.

I want to use an online backup service but each one I check out is unable to backup at least one of my key files and perhaps others that I havent tested yet.
I use an old palm pda and a current version of the palm desktop for mac. I'm quite happy with it and have tons of info on it.
But the online backup services store the files on an IBM server and when I restore it to my Macbook I get a Unix. exe file that I cannot use. I cant even import it or open it on a pc (which would be an acceptable solution in case of an emergency).
I really need a good backup solution for all my Mac files.
I've spoke to Apple, Palm and the techs at the online backup services and no one has a solution.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You are very welcome. I don't think you can do scheduled updates. Apparently what happens is that the update happens whenever anything is changed on the desktop iDisk. No you don't have to recreate the desktop iDisk ever. That is, you can leave it on your desktop continuously. I trashed mine because I don't like to have things working in the background if I don't currently need them. On the other hand if I changed many things in a day, then I'd leave it on the desktop continuously.
If you check out all the MobileMe features, then you might decide that you like it. Your Dock mail program mirrors exactly what is on the MobileMe online mail program. I have to admit that the online program is very slow. But, the on Dock program more than makes up for the deficiency. Back to Mac is a cool feature. And, the online photo album feature is very easy and works well, except that it doesn't seem able to handle animated gifs.

Hi Harikrishnan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used Machine Translation Service in SharePoint 2013.
Firstly , make sure the Machine Translation Service is running on ‘Manage sercies on server’.
Then , do the followings:
1. Ensure the Machine Translation Service application has web access:
2. Validate the MachineTranslationAddress, MachineTranslationClientId, and MachineTranslationCategory for the Machine Translation Service application
More information, please refer to the link :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj729796.aspx
In addition, there is a similar blog, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.

Do i need to open port for crash plan online backup service

do i need to open port for crash plan online backup service?
Thanks!

Possibly. I would start by checking out this CrashPlan support article. CrashPlan does require certain ports on both your computer's and network router's firewall to be open in order to communicate properly.
