Play iMovie on TV/Xbox/Flash Drive... Quick reply needed!!!!

Once again I appeal to the great and good of this community for assistance...
So I have just completed a big project on iMovie (1 Hour 38Mintues in length).. This project is actually for a relative so now I need to put it in a playable format for them to watch. Ideally I need it to be in the best possible resolution (720 or 1080) although it is a slide show rather than video footage. So I have completed the project and need to give the final version to my relative. My first question is HOW???? I have saved it to a Flash Drive but when I place this into a PC/Smart TV there is nothing there. When I plug it into my Mac though it shows that the file is there (.mp4 format).
In short all I want to be able to do is put my final project onto a Flash drive to give to my relative who can then in turn plug it into a smart tv/Xbox/DVD player USB port and watch the project. Is this even possible? if not then why? and what are my alternatives? If anyone out there can help me out then a speedy response would be greatly appreciated.
Come on folks, you havent let me down yet!

um, well, the limitations of an Xbox (not reading an Microsoft-format as exFat!) are not really iMovie nor Apple related, are they?
1) narrow failure: check with a different stick - I'm surprised, two diff. devices, PS3 and Xbox don't recognize the stick at all ....
2) 16GBs??? In what format do you export? Settings for e.g. AppleTV don't create files beyond 2-3GBs/h ... Again, follow advice mentioned in the User Tipp I linked to above...
3) split export. If you cannot reduce the file to a Sony or Windows reasonable size, you have to split your project into 'parts' to keep chunks <4GBs. But, check #1 and #2 first ...

How do I move an album from my itune play list to a usb flash drive

How do I move an album from my itune play list to a usb flash drive?

Insert the drive into the USB port. Open the iTunes playlist, and use CTRL+A (or Edit > Select All) to highlight all the tracks. Drag the tracks over to the drive.

Possible play iTunes movies from USB flash drive in iTunes on public PCs?

Posting on behalf of a friend who wants to play movies purhased in iTunes from a USB flash drive (thumbdrive) on pulic compuers (Win XP) with iTunses installed on them. Again: he wants to play movies puchased in iTunes on computers other than his own and he wants to be able to play them from the USB drive. Is this possible and, if so, how would one go about doing it?
Many thanks,

Start itunes on the public PC, and immediately go into itunes preferences > Advanced.
Make sure the setting for "Copy files to itunes when adding to library" is unchecked.
Then add the file to itunes like any other file (either through the itunes menus or windows drag & drop).
The file will stay on the USB, but it will be listed in itunes so it can be played.
When finished watching the movie, it would be a courtesy to others on that public PC to remove the movie from the itunes library. Once the USB is unplugged, itunes will give a "original file can't be located" message to anyone else. This is assuming everyone uses the same windows login.
I've never heard of public PCs having itunes installed. Just curious, where is this at? A library? Workplace?

Image persistence on New 24" LED Cinema Display - Quick Reply needed please

Hi
I have a new 24" LED Cinema display - delivered 14 days ago today (hence needing a quick reply!).
Yesterday I noticed image persistence down the entire left hand-side of the screen - should this happen on such a new display?
Should I return it / take it back?
Thanks for any advice.
For what it is worth the image persistence is the left-hand column of the iTunes window - I can read the entire column from the top where it says "Music" down to the "Selected item" that appears above the album artwork window.
I do use iTunes a lot but certainly nothing out of the ordinary and often in reduced size mode or behind other windows. (i.e it does not sit in the same place all the time).
Since I took the screen out of the box the screen-saver has been set to turn on after 15 mins and the Energy Saver is set to turn the screen off after 20 mins (i.e I have taken screen saving measures).
Finally, I have done the "display an all-white image on the entire display" as per here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807) and after six hours of this the problem has improved, but certainly not gone away.
So, to return, or not to return, that is the question.
Many thanks.
Rob
PS - I bought this online at Apple Store - if I do return it, could I do this in person at physical Apple Store, or do I have to do it online?

I've had this same problem on my 24" iMac for some time (it's still under my AppleCare warranty, but it began doing this long ago). I searched these forums a year ago and never found anything about this, so I'm glad I found these posts here today.
I guess it's time to haul mine back into the store. Also I note that my screen has developed some dark areas, as if the fluorescent backlight has become irregular.

Hi RMcMullen,
You should look at the [[Backing up your information]] Knowledge Base article. It will give you all the information you need to back up everything so you won't lose a thing.
Hopefully this helps!

Any suggestions on what to do?!

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

What is "other" on my flash drive? I need to free up space

I have a 64 GB MacBook Air and 23 GB is taken up by "other". What is it and how can I free up space in flash memory?

"Other" is everything that doesn't fit into one of the other categories. It includes operating system files, among others. The amount you have is pretty close to the minimum and can't be reduced much. If you want to try, see below.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,
Eloise15.

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

I have an old iPod, first generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio. I've emptied my iPod to my itunes library to allow space on the iPod. Question is: Can my friend put his music on a flash drive and somehow transfer to my computer.

I have an old iPod. First generation. I want to play a friend's music thru my Bose radio at an upcoming party. (already use my Pod w/the radio). Ive emptied my iPod to my itunes library to make more room for additional music.
Question: Can I somehow download my friend's playlist - which is on a flashdrive, transfer it to my itunes and then transfer to the iPod??

If the Apple Store Genuis says you can't sync music from an audio CD to your iPod (because it's too old), he or she is not much of a "genius."
That question is not even related to your iPod. First step is to "rip" the music CD into your iTunes library. Once the songs on the CD are in your iTunes library, they are like any other songs in your library, and you can sync them to your iPod as desired. This article seems to do a good job of describing how to rip CDs
http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
NOTE: When you insert a music CD, it appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. If you do not see the sidebar (along left side of window), from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
It was the context of your original question, not the actual task. You can easily add songs files that are on a flash drive to your iTunes library. Open a window that shows the flash drive contents. Drag the song files from that window to the iTunes window, and drop them on your iTunes Music library. Or, use the command
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
NOTE: Open your iTunes preferences, Advanced tab. If the checkbox for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is NOT checked, those songs from the flash drive will only be accessible (for playing and syncing) when the flash drive is connected.

Quicktime .mov is Out of Sync on My Flash Drive

I have a 8GB HD Quicktime .mov file on my desktop that plays perfectly fine. However, every time I transfer that file to my 16GB flash drive and play it back on the flash drive, the movie is about one second OUT OF SYNC. I have tried this three times with the same results. Would appreciate any help anyone could offer. Thanks.

what is in an audio layer? if there's a sound attached, then its sync property must be set to stream if you want the display and sound to sync.
have you changed all your sound's to stream and, if so, has that solved the sync problem.

Sequencing images in iphoto slideshow for photo frame playback via flash drive

I have created a slide show in iphoto and saved it to a flash drive. I want the show to play in a particular sequence. On the computer that works. When playing the show via the flash drive on my Pandigital Photo Frame, however, the images randomize. The images have numbered filenames, and the shuffle function on the photo frame is turned off. What do I need to do differently?

When I connected the frame to the computer, no photo files showed, not even when I added the flash drive to the frame.
The sequence of the files on the flash drive is numerical, just what I am after. Something seems to be happening within the frame. In addition, while I have placed no files into the frame's internal memory, and none show up, when I play the slideshow, files that I once had in the slideshow file but later deleted, still appear!?

TS1363 When I plug my ipod into the usb port of my desktop, It will not recognize that anything is plugged into it. However it does recognize my flash drives, so trying to resolve my problem. Please help...

When I plug my ipod into my desk top my computer will not recognize the ipod in the usb port. I checked my usb port with one of my flash drives and it works fine. My ipod is in stuck in recovery mode, so has to be gone thru on itunes. Please help me

Yes, I think so... But what's odd here (to me) is that it actually matters what song the iPod was playing before being connected to that USB port. What happens if you connect the iPod when it is not playing any song? It seem like either the car audio system knows where to look for the iPod's song files, or it doesn't.
If you have a USB flash drive, try putting a few song files on it, and connecting it to that USB port. That's probably the primary reason for that USB port, so customer can attach USB flash drives with song files. If that works, and you can properly browse and play songs from the USB flash drive, you should just get a $5 8GB USB flash drive, fill it with your "car songs," and leaving it connected to the car audio system. That would be more convenient that remembering to connect and disconnect your nano all the time, and less wear-and-tear on the nano.

HT5172 Glad to have USB capability on my new iMac. Been in Mac world all of 2 days now. Question - I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and am wondering if flash drives have to be ejected the same as on a PC? Can't find how to do it. Thanks.

Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days. I'm glad to have USB capability. I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive. Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's? Can't find an answer in the support area. Thanks...

Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.
