Playing dvd's on my laptop works but not with the apple tv viewer. What's going on?

My macbook pro with retina display works great when viewing dvd's with a usb DVD drive. As soon as I connect to the Apple Tv viewer the screen goes grey on my lap top and on my tv. What's going on?

if it worked it would be breaking the law
dvd's and blueray for that matter have an encryption which airplay would have to remove for it to work and thats not legal
to do some people report that some version of the vlc player works with airplay but that would mean they break the encryption before displaying it on the mac screen and as such break the law

We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad has no problem connecting to the Internet through a subscription WiFi network. But, both of our laptops can not with the same password. What can we try?

We can join the network, but can not access the Internet. The password is correct. We have tried network assistant and diagnostics, restarting the laptops, re-joining the network. Our iPhone 4s also works all the time.
Same location. Signal strength is good.

Since I couldn't figure out a way to edit our original post, here's another potential clue.
Our laptops, when in System Preferences>Network, say "WiFi has the self-assigned IP address of XXXXXXXXX and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
Strangely, my six year old MBP running OS 10.6.8 accessed the Internet straight away, just by opening Safari to my home page. My wife's six month old MBP running OS 10.7.2 could not.

My iPad cannot connect to my internet. the internet is working but not with my ipad.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

The screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

One of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv.

I own about 30 movies on my apple tv and one of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv. How do I fix this issue and get it to show up on my apple tv?

Two things to check
1st
Settings
Mail, Contacts, Calendars
AccountsHow many accounts are there?
2nd
From Home screen press Mail app
Press the top left button (next to Inbox)
You'll see all the Inboxes for the accounts present
You'll know either way whether one or more accounts has been setup.
SIDE NOTE: Not too sure about MobileMe though, might be integrated with iCloud, not sure.

That is what it does. There is no sync, you have a new calendar.

ITunes Home Sharing with Apple TV2, works with one Win 7 PC but not with the other

Hopefully someone out there can help with this, I have gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures that Apple provides, and have spoke to thier 'fast track' technical services department and we cannot resolve this.
My probelm is that Apple TV does not recognize my Win7 PC that has itunes running in Home Sharing mode. In order to test my router, network configurationand the Apple TV, I put iTunes on a laptop on my network running Win7 as well, and the Apple TV had no problems sharing with that computer. I have opened all of the ports in my firewall that Apple recommended, and tried to make it work both with and without my anti-virus software, but still no sharing of iTunes with this computer. We are working with the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV, both updated today.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks
S McD

Yep - have had the same problem, especially since IOS5 came about and no solution has worked. I've fought this one for a while, I come back to it every once in a while when I see something that might be a new tack but no joy. I've also tried all that stuff, but none of them fix it.
I can tell you a couple of things I have found out along the way:
First off, there is some kind of issue with the Apple Mobile Service that causes it to not stay working. If you stop the service and start it you may be able to make the sharing show up for a bit, but it will eventually disappear.
Secondly, there may be a network routing factor to this too. Apple doesn't like to use the same kind of protocols as many sharing schemes do, instead preferring something known as "Bonjour". Bonjour uses multicast routing, and appears to either be programmed badly or in a non-standard way - or maybe there just is no standard. In any case what you find is that it just doesn't work, and there is no current fix.
Keep trying though, maybe you can figure it out. If you do, please come back and post what you did, I'd be very interested. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy, there are others out there having the same problem with the same bleak outlook. By the way, mine used to work until iOS5.

HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync. They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone. What do I need to do?

I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

When selecting the camera on 3gs the screen just goes black i can still take a photo using the top volume button but not with the screen please help

hello there
when selecting the camera on my 3gs the screen goes black and has no responce i can take a picture with the top volume button but cannot see it until i open photos
please can anyone help
thankyou andy

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset (unless this is what you mean by powering off and restarting) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I am trying to attach multiple photos to an email from my ipad 2. I can see how to do it from the camera and camera roll option,but not from the photos program. What am I missing? Thanx so much!

But not using the photos ap..which is where the photos are. Any help would be appreciated.!

In an album in Photos touch the Edit button and then touch the desired photos (up to 5). A blue check appears in each selected photo. Next touch the Share button at the upper left and select Mail. This starts a email with the photos attached.

I am having problems signing into the network at my school. The PC laptops work but Macs show the fact that the network is being upgraded but the district office insists it isn't.

I can connect to the guest network on my Mac but when I open Firefox, the main authentication page where I type in the user name and password states that the network is being upgraded and will not be available for use. The main district office technician says the network should be fine and can connect with his windows laptop just fine. Are there some things i need to change in the Firefox preferences that would fix this problem for my Mac?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Do I have a problem. My unit works, but not by the directions

I may be an idiot. I opened my new nano (I got it from my brother) and saw on the side PC + Mac. Ok, I connected it and booted up into LINUX, that is installed on my PC. It is installed on my personal computer, or am I not too wise? So then I went through [deleted] freaks with the do not disconnect screen until I shut down and disconnected.
when I did get Xp booted and downloaded Itunes (just about grew a beard, I have dial up speed)I would eject and get the files in use by another application screen that is famous on this forum. that was by opening itunes first and then connecting the nano.
I found that when I connected the nano first and let the itunes open automatically (this is after reseting once and then restoring) I can get the perfect ok to disconnect message and I thought I was fine.
I got this unit last a week ago today, and over the last few days notice that when I eject, it never anymore says Ok to disconnect, it just gives an apple logo near the top of the itunes screen and the unit lights up and gives a menu.
The nano still works (except that just today I noticed that when playing an album a track will be skipped over, even though I can select and play it individually. also, sometimes when I wake it up it doesn't readily want to continue with progress), so do I have a problem?

Really I think I blundered across the solution.
I had enable disk use just the heck of it and unclicking it made everything as it should be.
I saw a disconnect link that said in later versions of iTunes (I have 7.0.2.16) that one doesn't have to wait for the OK message.
I should be fine.

Urgent! form with webutil works with IAS but not with the 9iDS

I'm configuring a standalone PC on which i can run forms as if they were running with an IAS. Now we have a form which uses webutil. This form runs fine in our IAS-environment, but fails on the standalone PC.
On the standalone machine I'm using 9ids (9.0.2) to run this form. When the form is started I'm getting an error: FRM-40734 Internal error PL/SQL error occurred. This is caused by calls to the webutil-routines client_win_api_environment.get_windows_username and client_win_api_environment.get_computer_name
(When I comment out these calls, the form doesn't return an error)

I've tried your suggestion and the newly created form works on both environments (the standalone PC with the iDS and the "normal" evironment with an IAS). Then I added another button to this newly created form with the code "message(client_win_api_environment.Get_Windows_username);"
This also works in the new form. Then I added some debugging code to the webutil.pll and discovered that when I use the above code in the new form everything is ok, but when I use the call client_win_api_environment.Get_Windows_username the following exception is raised in the gew_windows_username-procedure: CLIENT_WIN_API.NOT_AVAILABLE
I've compared the newly created form with the original from and can't discover major differences between the two forms. Do you have another idea where to look?
I noticed I forgot to mention both forms are created with oracle designer.
