Opening Movies from my my iDisk in iWeb

I have been using iWeb to manage my work website. Since I am an animator I have a large number of videos on my site to show samples of my work. If I just imbed the movies into the web page itself, the load times are horrible on those pages. For example one page which shows my game animation has 6 movies ranging from 20 seconds to 5 minutes. To get around this I currently use a program called "file chute" which provides me away to use a hyperlink to the movies that are stored in my iDisk and open them in a separate internet browser windows. It allows me to keep the pages themselves light so there load time is quick. File Chute works great.
Here's the problem. File Chute uses the old "homepage.mac.com" which Apple is going to be discontinued as of July 7th this year. Is there someway I can just use mobile Me to get a link to my iDisk movies so I can do it this myself without a special program? Seems like there would be.
thank you in advance.

I have uploaded my videos to my gallery on MobileMe. Now there is a "MobileMe Gallery widget" in iWeb '09 (under "widgets" just where your photos/movies,etc. are) ...
... when I drag this widget to a website I can choose from my "Events" in my MobileMe gallery. I think that this way iWeb only links to the selected video instead of embedding it.

  • How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing

    How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
    Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
    Who knows these tricks?

    iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera.  Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

  • I purchased a movie from itunes on my ipad but it doesn't show up in my library.  It shows up in my history of purchases when I open that page but it is not noted in the list of purchases with all my other purchases.  Any idea why?

    I purchased a movie from itunes on my regular ipad but it doesn't show up in my library.  I am able to view it via my movies icon on the Ipad I used when purchasing it but it does not show up in my purchases listing to download to my ipad mini.  Also if I access my itunes account it does not show up in the history of purchases listing like all my other purchases but it does show up when i open that page at the very top; separate form the list.  I've tried everything to get it to show up so I can download/view it on my ipad mini.  

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
    Good luck

  • I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  I wanted to burn a DVD so I dragged the movie onto a blank DVD and it appeared to burn it correctly.  When I try to play the movie from this DVD  I get an error message referencing "you can't open the application mediaio

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system.  After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete".  What is this all about?  Are there settings I need to change?  PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work.  Help!

    Klaus:  Does this mean that I can only watch this movie on my computer and ipad not on my home big screen system?

  • Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

    Hello !
    It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
    For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't  streamimg my movies directly)
    It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
    Thank you for your answears.

    Hi,
    you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
    If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
    As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
    Hope this helped

  • Cannot Open .MOV Quicktime Files From Drive

    Greetings All!
    Can anyone tell me why I cannot open files from my secondary hard drive?
    I have two hard drives in my computer both are internal, one is 160Gb used for XP and other programs and the other is 250Gb used as a mass storage device for misic, pictures, video etc. However when I try to open any of the QT files that my digital camera creates I receive the following message:
    Couldn't open the file "138810" because an unknown error occurred. The
    number of the error is: -8971
    My operating system is Widows XP MCE
    Computer: Compaq Presario Desktop SR1950NX
    RAM Memory: `1Gb
    Hard Drive 1: 160Gb
    Hard Drive 2: 250Gb
    QT Version 6.5.2
    If you need any other information please dont hesitate to ask!
    Elaine Beauxrauxgard-Weiderhoff

    I've had a problem in the past with opening .mov files from a second hard drive which was caused by the drive being named in a way QT could not recognize it. The drive was named (F:\F:\) when changing the drive letter to a single(F:\). QT was then able to recognize and play. But that was generating a, error 43 file could not be found. So you might still want to check how the drives are named.
    I read that error 8971 can be a need to update QT,but don't know how accurate the info is. If you do update from QT6 to QT7 and are using QT Pro you'll have to purchase a new key

  • When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • Only Open 1 Movie from Finder?

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can no longer open more than 1 movie from the Finder. Clicking the first movie opens in QT X, but in order to open a second movie, I have to go to the File menu, open recent. Anyone else with this problem?
    YoungTurk

    Actually, I did come across this problem myself when I tried to go into an .wmv collection of movie clips. I had notice the change in icon for QT after the Snow Leopard install, but didn't think anything of it. So, today, I came across that and then discovered that during the installation, QT pro 7.6.3, which I purchased, got moved very silently and without any notification, into the Utility folder.
    Solution: delete QT 10, which installed with SL, move previous QT version from utility folder back into app's folder. In order for you to be able to click on a .mov, .wmv, or any other file that you would like to open by default with QT, you must re-associate that file type with QT. So, take a representative file from the finder, click on "more info", then associate that file with QT (your version) AND tell the system to open all files of that type with QT.

  • Cna a movie be ftored on sd card and played via camera card reader. i transfered my movie from itunes to sd card. i set up a new file renamed the movie to dscf ... name , it loaded tom ipad but ipad says it cannot open?

    I am trying to store movies on sd card from traveling. I want to play movie from camera card reader.i transferred the movie to sd card, I change the name to DSCF... and put in new folder created by my camera. the movie loads to ipad just fine but the ipad wont open it. what am I missing or it it not possible?

    In THEORY, you can. However there are a lot of hoops to jump through. And the last time I played with it was when my device was running iOS7.
    You put the movie file on an SD card. Follow the naming convention. Give it a file name of 8 characters. Put it in a folder named DCIM.
    You can't watch the movie off the SD card.  You have to import the movie onto your device (so you need plenty of free room) watch then delete.
    What you may be running into is if those movies were downloaded from iTunes or some other source they may have digital rights management on them prohibiting you moving them around and watching them like you're trying to do.

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • The icon moves on my toolbar and bookmarks and all are gone on that version. When I try to open Firefox from my email, it tells me I don't have the latest version, even though I've downloaded it about three times in the last two days. What's the deal?

    First I notice your icon was gone so I figured I'd moved it by mistake. I put it back, but most of my bookmarks were gone. I then noticed I had two icons, one on right side one on left of my Mac. Tried to download new version. Didn't work, went to preview? Weird. Tried the version that's for Yahoo. That seemed to work, my bookmarks were back, but today it says that's an old version and I must update if I want to open something from Firefox from my email. So I did and once again I had two icons on page. It has done this a couple times. So I'm going in circles. I've done nothing new to my less than 3-year-old iMac and have never had this problem or anything remotely like it before.

    Did you manage to get it working mine disappeared after I while I managed to download it but now my laptop/iTunes won't recognise my iPhone!

  • Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb.  Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet.  Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

    Just finished updating web site, saved and published.  Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone!  Fine on the net gone in iweb!  I don't want to loose the days work.  Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work?  Why didn't it save?  Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again?  Where did I go wrong?

    Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to see if the site is all there.  If not
    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
