OSX Lion, iTunes and AppleTV

For some reason, I can no longer hear my music when trying to stream from my MacBook Air running Lion to my AppleTV (2nd generation). iTunes shows AppleTV as an option and that option is selected. The music is playing but nothing is coming from the AppleTV setup. The AppleTV is working fine with everything else. Why have I lost this feature? Is it a setting in Lion that I'm not aware of?

Hello,
I have about the same problem, even after upgrading to 10.7.1.
VLC and Quicktime have no audio and iTunes won't even play (stays at 0:00).
Erik's suggestion seems the only one that works without the need to reboot the system.
I have also found another discussion here where they are exactly talking about the issue we are currently experiencing.
"Same problem here. I found an easy way to fix it without rebooting.
Run terminal and do this:
sudo killall coreaudiod "
It's just another way round from Erik's suggestion.
However this is just an annoying temporary solution, I look forward to receiving soon an official fix from Apple.
Until now, it just does not work as it should...

OSX LION UPGRADE AND WORD AND EXCEL

Just upgraded to OSX Lion and my old word and excel will not open. Message is "Power PC applications are no longer supported?" What can I do?

Office 2011 works well now that they patched it up. You can get it for $89 on Amazon for a single user license.

HP MediaSmart iTunes and AppleTV

Hi
I am trying to understand the workings of the HP MediaSmart server in conjunction with iTunes and the AppleTV.
I am storing all of my music files on the MediaSmart server and I am pointing the iTunes library to the MediaSmart server.
I do not want to store (sync) my music on the AppleTV, I want to stream to it. When iTunes is running, I can access all of my music on the AppleTV, however when iTunes is not running I cannot access any of my music.
I thought that the MediaSmart had an iTunes server built in. This seems to somewhat defeat the purpose of the server as I must have a PC/Mac running iTunes to stream music from the MediaSmart Server to the AppleTV.
1. I want to know if this is normal?
2. Is there a way to have the MediaSmart server stream music directly to the AppleTV without the need to have a PC/Mac running iTunes?
Thanks for your help
Kevin

I don't have one of these Media Srevers, but many say they have itunes servers - while they may have a server that itunes can access, most as far as I know will not be suitable for AppleTV as it does not use the standard library sharing method that allows one itunes program on a netork to see another library. The processes may be similar but you have to register AppleTV with an itunes program using a 5 digit code and generally teher's no way to do thsi with these media servers unless you can configure them to run a proper version of itunes.

OSX Lion Mail and Exchange Server

My ITS person says that OSX Lion Mail "doesn't allow for exchange accounts so calendars etc don't work".
Is this true?
Thanks!

Again, both of you have been really helpful. Thank you so much.
If you are both still on this thread, I would like to ask about solutions to a space problem:
My primary computer is a MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7.3), where I am running Entourage 2008 (13.1.2). Because I have limited space on my MBP for housing old emails (under "On My Computer"), I created a server from an old Mac in my office. Then, using Entourage 2008 from my MBP, I created an additional IMAP account on the old Mac server, with subfolders for "email_2005", "sent_email_2005", "email_2006", "sent_email_2006", etc. This is where I archive all my old email. The nice thing about setting it up this way is that I can search any or all of these folders anytime, and from any location, directly from my Entourage 2008 app on my MBP, yet they take up no space on my MBP.
First of all, I suspect there were easier ways to archive off emails from my MBP, but after searching and asking for weeks, this is what I settled on and it has served me well for years.
But now, my old Mac really is getting old and I'm worried it will die at some point. Plus I'm not thrilled about trying to maintain the server software on this old Mac.
I also have space on a shared drive maintained by ITS, that's backed-up nightly. This would be an ideal place to house archived mail folders. Then I could take down the server on my old Mac and not worry about it anymore. Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up an IMAP account on my shared drive space (I suspect it's against the ITS rules of this drive).
Entourage 2008 does not permit me to designate where "On My Computer" folders are housed (they have to be on the same computer running the Entourage 2008 app). If I could designate the location of "On My Computer" folders, a simple solution would have been to just locate them on the shared drive and I wouldn't have to bother with creating additional IMAP accounts housed elsewhere.
Questions:
1) Does Outlook 2011 or Lion Mail permit designating the location of local files (off my primary MBP) for archiving emails?
2) Is there a simpler solution to archiving emails off my laptop, but that would also allow them to be conveniently searchable from within a mail app on my laptop?
Sorry for the long-winded questions.
Thank you again.

Best setup for itunes and AppleTV using 1 airport express

Hi there.
I bought an Airport Express but now I don't know if it's best to create a wireless network or extend an existing one.
I wired my ISP router to the Express but I want to be able to send to Apple TV both video and sound without dropping the quality.
At the moment I have created a new wireless network only being used by my laptop and AppleTV... but every other device at home used the original ISP network/psswd.
What would be the best way to set this?
Thanks in advance...

Since this Cisco can provide a Wi-Fi network you may not need the AirPort Express at all. If you got the Express because the Apple TV will be some distance from where the Cisco is located with the intent to extend the Cisco's wireless range, it won't work. At least not if you want the connection between routers to be wireless ... and that is because they are incompatible for this purpose.
Since you stated that you have already connected them both by Ethernet, you should configure both of them for a roaming network. This shouldn't require any changes to the Cisco since you also mentioned that you weren't able to.
The Apple TV can then either be connected to the Express' LAN (opposing arrows) port or to it Wi-Fi network. Connecting it by Ethernet should provide better bandwidth.

After downloading OSX Lion iTunes will not open

I have just installed OS X Lion and tried to open iTunes. The message i get is it can't access "iTunes Library.itl" as was installed by a new version of iTunes?? So what now?

Make sure you've installed all of the available OS X Lion and iTunes updates.
If you aren't sure how to update, see this -> OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps

Optimising video for itunes and appletv - Help please!

I'm trying to understand the how itunes handles video and how it is optimised for different devices.
If i've attached my iphone and itunes syncs over a video, does it automatically optimise the version being sync on the the iphone.
I've noticed there are two options when converting a video, convert for ipod and convert for appletv.
Is there any difference between the two?
Also. I seem to remember a statement form apple saying that any movies/videos purchased or rented over appletv would be a higher quality than those bought on a mac or iphone/ipodtouch. Is this true.
Really i'm looking to understand how video works between a mac, apple tv and a iphone/ipodtouch and does it make any difference to the quality of the video which source i buy it from?
Thanks

HI Matthew,
I don't have the answer to your question directly but MacWorld has great information on just what you are searching for: http://www.macworld.com/ I have a subscription to the magazine and read it front and back and they always have information on just what you are trying to find. There's blogs on their site too. http://www.macworld.com/
The video would be QuickTime format, iPod would be MP3. Go here for info:

Access to Aperture library from iTunes and AppleTV

I'm not able to see my Aperture photo library using AppleTV or iTunes.
It worked a few days ago but it doesn't now.
File > homesharing > choose photo to share with AppleTV opens a blank box with a rotating wheel.
Trying to sync an iPhone works fine for music but 'PHOTOS' opens a blank box with rotating wheel.
The AppleTV unit won't access my photos at all.
I'm using the latest OS on a decent mac and the latest version of Apereture. I have run the photo library first aid > repair permissions and repair database.
I have noticed that some apperture actions have been slow recently.
Any ideas?

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Without the original music files or access to the laptop with the original music files what you ask can't be done.

Great help from ~Bee so far, just to add...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Itunes has stopped recognizing my Apple TV 1. Internet access (ethernet cable) is ok for itunes and appletv. What could be the problem?

For the last month, after 1 years working without a problem, itunes stopped recognizing my applet tv 1st generation. Itunes account is american and I am located in Brazil. Help?

I have the exact same problem as well, no access to iTunes Connect. I noticed some strange behavior when I received the activation code in my email that might have something to do with it. When I clicked the link to activate my Apple ID as an iPhone Developer it said "We are unable to process your request", but then I logged in http://developer.apple.com/iphone and got access to the Program Portal and so on, so I figured it worked anyway. Perhaps it has two systems for registering you into the program, and we all are registered for the Portal, but not iTunes Connect? I've had this problem for over a week, and despite sending several emails, Apple still haven't resolved the issue for me either.
best of luck to us all, eh

OSX Lion and exporting for iPhone

There was a thread about how when trying to set and/or publish for iPhone or edit its settings, Flash CS5 immediately crashes. The problem has been experienced by many Mac OSX Lion users and they talked about it in this unresolved thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/888198#3851750 but still no updates from Adobe. Adobe sent me a response to my Support ticket that "it's an Actionscript 3 coding issue" then closed it so I couldn't reply. Ummmm, NO it isn't a coding issue, I tried to export an FLA file with no code in it. That's a really bad way to do business, Adobe. But since they're not going to be helpful (and probably lose me as a customer) has anyone else found a workaround for this?

The aspect ratio of the iphone screen is 480 x 320, but that size is not an option when exporting for iPhone using Compressor. You have to use a custom setting.
Why is this the case?
You have to understand that the Apple-provided presets are good launching points, not end-all, be-all settings.
And iPhones do support material encoded as 640 pixels wide so the preset for VGA (up to 640x480) works fine for most people. I personally rarely use anything smaller than the VGA setting for Apple Devices as I find that's the perfect middle ground for iPods, iPhones and AppleTV.
If you (understandably) need to limit your file and frame sizes, adjusting the device setting in Compressor to iPhone (Local/WiFi) does the trick - fitting your movie into a 480 pixel-wide frame size and capping the video data rate at 1000 Kbps.
Letterboxing - as in hard mattes - is not needed when encoding for Apple Devices. In fact, if you have letterboxing in your source media, use the Geometry pane to crop out the Letterbox Area of Source. That will provide you with a better quality encode and the preset will know to adjust your output frame size, so you need not worry about distorting your movie.

OSX Lion and push notifications working intermittently

Seems to work when it feels like it; any suggestions on what I can look for?
I can register a device, and pushing seems to work 50% of the time and stall the other 50%; nothing in Console ...

I am havng this same exact problem. Recently, I reinstalled my OSX Lion fresh, and also just installed CS5.5 Design Premium. I have been experiencing this same error repeatedly.
On my computer there are two separate Scratch Discs (non-partioned) and when the error first popped up, I tried switching between Scratch Discs. One at a time, even using other drives and still received the same error. I've done everything I can find suggested to no avail. All OS updates are done, CS5.5 is updated, permissions repaired, disks repaired, graphics driver current, OpenGL disabled, etc....
If we can determine a fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Photoshop is an awesome tool that I use extensively, and this is driving me insane!
BTW, here is the error I believe he is getting (same one I see way too many times a day)
Thanks, Billy

OSX Lion and Photoshop CS5 "scratch disc error"

I've been using Photoshop CS5 for awhile now (about a year and a half). Up to yesterday I was running OSX Snow Leapord with no issues. Yesterday I upgraded to OSX Lion and today, my first day using Photoshop in Lion, I'm getting repeated "scratch disc error" messages with a "quit" button (no other options). Photoshop works fine for awhile, three hours or so, and then I'll get the "scratch disc error" message and will be forced to quit Photoshop and restart.
My main drive is a 2Tb drive with 1.7Tb of available space, so I'm sure scratch disc space isn't a problem. I've got about another Tb of scratch disc space available on two other internal drives. I've got 14Gb of Ram, all memtested and working perfectly. It clearly seems to be an issue with OSX Lion since it never happened before today. A few other details: I'm up to date with Photoshop CS5, I have Open GL turned off because I'm on an older Mac Pro (a 3.0 Ghz dual quad core, 2.1) and my video card doesn't play nicely with Open GL (a whole different kind of crash).
All three times I've gotten the "scratch disc error" pop-up today it seems to have been when I open multiple files. This last time I opened something like 8 files. Big deal; sometimes I open 40 or more without any problems. So can anyone please help me with this issue? I have yet to lose any of my work (I save constantly - a habit born out of past frustrations), so it's managable, but it shouldn't be happening.
Thanks.

I installed osx lion and now wifi led blinks constantly

I installed osx lion yesterday and now the wifi led on my modem blinks constantly
even when the mac is turned of.
Further on, in the left colum in finder there is under "Shared" a icon of a pc and written:
acer-13db0a52d9
I never seen this before.
I tried to open it but the only thing i could trace, was "NEIGHBORHOOD"..
Am I being Hacked?
Funny thing, is that this week I saw a guy in the street sitting in his car with a labtop.
What should I do?

Right click on the file and select get info. Click on the little padlock at the bottom and enter your password, change your user names permission to Read & Write. ( There will be a list of users at the bottom of the get info box with permissions which you can change.)

I am on my 9th attempt at deleting and re-downloading. Called Apple tech and they did a scan of my iMac which I sent to them. Apparently files are getting corrupted during the download process and Apple tech services is saying to just delete and try again, but this many times?
