Playing video on another computer
I have my iTunes library on a home computer (Dell) including movies that are on my iPod. I'd like to be able to view the movies on my work computer (IBM Thinkpad) when I travel. I can't figure how to do this. I can the see the content of my iPod in iTunes on my work computer but I cannot select anything.
You have to turn off automatic syncing. You can do this by selecting the Manually manage music checkbox in the Summary tab of the iPod in iTunes. This will require you to turn it back off when you get home, assuming you want to keep auto-syncing with your home computer.

Help I can't transfer video to another computer.
What do I have to do to transfer a flash video to another computer. I published HTML to my usb stick and installed on another computer. When I run the file, the buttons dont work. All they do is flash. When the file is on my original computer, everything works fine.
Here is more detail.
As a test, I have a black square on frame one that links to a blue square on frame 2. I saved the .fla file to my c drive.I exported to html and the page comes up and works exactly as it should. The problem is when I save to my flash drive, its like it doesnt recognize any of the actionscript. If I remove all code and just put in stop(). it flickers back and forth between the 2 frames. Again, when the file is saved and exported to the c drive, it works right.
Below is the HTML that Flash generated.

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisitionHi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Sharing an edited video on another computer
I am editing video to be used in a PowerPoint presentation. The video needs to be saved in a format that will be viewable on any random cumputer that I load up the ppt file. The problem is that when I export and save the videos I can only view them on this computer. When I open the ppt on another computer the video will not play.
How can I save videos with decent quality that can be viewed on other computers (Mac and PC)? Sorry for the dumb question.VandyZane,
This is assuming you had the movie encoded in H.264 when you finalized in iMovie. On the PC, you have 2 ways to install the codec. One through Quicktime which you did. The other way is to install a standalone codec (which is H.264). Most PCs would probably have this codec installed as it is one of the most popular used codec to watch downloaded movies. The reason why powerpoint is nothing seeing your movie is because you haven't wrapped it yet into a Windows video file. The program I mentioned changes MP4 to AVI, or with an *.AVI extension. Most PC programs assumes the AVI file as video and use the WMP as the default player.
Why don't you try converting one and then see if WMP plays it. Then insert it into the ppt file and see if it plays properly. If it does, then make sure the corresponding presentation PC has the correct codec installed.
The H.264 vFw codec is also available from the same place I linked you to -- sourceforge.net. -
How to play Ipod on another computer
I want know how to play my I pod on another computer without losing my music or movies.
If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod -
How to play songs on another computer when original files is elsewhere.
Is it possible to just play the songs on my itouch on another computer when connected to itunes? Although, the original mp3 files are all on another computer. I could view all the songs on the music tab when the device is connected but all I get are grayed out text. Would I need another software to do this? Or am I not seeing the hidden option to do so.
I guess you'll have to switch to "manually manage music" to be able to play the music from your ipod when connected to another computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
Don't forget to disable autosync before connecting to another computer. -

Hello Reaper398
Could quick suggestions I have for you
1. Quit iTunes, And download and install latest Adobe Flash Player
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
*Recommended to reboot after it is installed.
When you get back up and running. Feel free to test movie out again. And see if the green image continues.
If it does proceed below.
2. Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features
-If you got Multiple versions of Adobe Flash Plugins. You may wish to uninstall all of them, Then download and install latest Adobe one last time http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
Reboot as needed.
If this continues again proceed to step 3.
3. Launch Control Panel - Switch to Classic view if you are not in it. You can see this as an option in the left hand corner of Control Panel
Double click on Quicktime, Go to Advanced Tab - And Empty Cache.
Keep this Window Open, Test Movie Out, If it continues. Close iTunes one last time. Go back to the Window we left open. This time Click on Safe Mode (GDI only) for now.
This is typically caused by outdated Flash Software and or Direct X Software. IF you have Vista you should already have latest Direct X Installed.
If you got XP visit the link below for latest Direct X drivers. As this may also assist without having to use the Safe Mode (GDI) only

Authorization to play music on another computer
We just bought my wife her own iMac computer. Up until now she has used my computer to purchase songs off itunes and sync with her ipod.
I have transferred the songs to her computer now they all require authorization to play on the new computer. Is there a quick way to unauthorize the songs on my computer and authorize them on her computer? I don't want to go one by one to authorize and unauthorize.
ThanksI previously bought tracks using a different user name (email) which I've since updated. I try and play these tracks and it says they're not authorised. I authorise the computer using my new user name, whilst it says it's successful it still says the tracks are unauthorised. Any suggestions?

Playing iDVD on another computer
Hi! I burned a DVD from iDVD of a movie I created on iMovie. My mother-in-law tried to play it on her computer and she told me she could not get it to play (she does not have a Mac). Did I need to do something different when burning the disc? I chose the computer/TV setting when burning the DVD. Thanks!
Hi
As J Keller writes
*Type of DVD* - +R, -R or +/-RW - Single Layer SL or Double Layer DL
I use DVD-R SL - Worst choise DVD+RW DL - only Wizards make them play
*Brand of DVD*
I use Verbatim only (Can't get Taiyo Yuden - but would like to)
*Burn speed* - IMPORTANT
I set this down to x4 or x1 - gives less write errors = more compatible to players
*Free Space* on start up Mac OS hard disk
When getting very low - it even affects the result of iDVD labour
I never go for less than 25GB free space after material in iDVD are structured and ready to burn
*Making a DiskImage*
Is a very good way to be able to evalute - before burning - I do !

How can i play video from another service?
i have 2 services, fe A and B, and i want to create a player in service A to play a video component. I have tried to put 2 video components in service A but nothing was played.
in this case the code used was:
mediaLocator = new MediaLocator("dvb://1.1.1.1");
player2 = Manager.createPlayer(mediaLocator);
I tryed it in another way, with "ServiceContextFactory.getInstance().getServiceContexts();"
but service context array length was 1 (and there's 2 services). I think the problem is that my service/app does'nt have permisions to catch te neighbour service context or video component.
some one can help me to do this?well i found the way!!
first, i created a player instance from current service. i stopped it, and made a player.deallocate() to later make a player.setSource(). passing a media locator.

Playing music on another computer where iTunes Library does not reside
From what I can tell, the iPhone is different than the iPod. I have my home computer with my iTunes library on it. I sync my iPod there and I can take the iPod to work and play (not sync) the iPod on my work computer. The iPhone will not function this way, it asks to delete and sync with the local (work) iTunes library (which in my case is completely empty). This behavior is completely rediculous. I can play my iPhone music in my car. Why can't I play it at work? Apple MUST fix this. Very disappointing, the only deficiency in an otherwise brilliant product.
You're right. The iPhone is different. You can't use it like iPods. Don't know why.
Given that it is what it is, I use these speakers: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR136LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5Mg&mco=MjQzMzgyMQ. They also charge the phone.

Cannot play iTunes video in QuickTime ("computer not authorized")
A few weeks ago I found a work-around to the vide/audio out-of-sync issue with iTunes 10, and that was to play videos through QuickTime, which I was able to do. Until today. Now QT won't play videos, saying the computer isn't authorized. I go to iTunes, authorize the computer (over and over and over) and QT still won't play. Then when I play the video through iTunes, I have to authorize it the video again and then it begins playing (but of course, video/audio will eventually become out of sync as always...). Any ideas on why QT won't play the videos now or what is making it believe this computer is not authorized? I've de-authorized/re-authorized, I've changed User Account Controls and deleted an "SC" file (the latter two were part of an Apple (un)solution found here ). I'm still at a loss and frustrated beyond belief.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bitI have the same scenario too, running Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion p7-1007c Desktop PC. However, as I found out, a few iTunes purchases can be fully played on QuickTime for Windows without warning.
Apple should update QuickTime for Windows as soon as possible in order to correct this iTunes authorization bug. -

Noo audio in Windows media Player when playing video exported in Mpeg format
Hi there, I really need help
I have edited a video and removed the audio.
I have added a song in the soundtrack part of the timeline.
When I 'share' as an 'mpeg' it renders etc perfectly.
When I play it on my comp it plays perfectly - In premiere and WMP
But If I put the file onto a usb or something similar and try to play it on another computer there is no audio.
I have premiere elements 7
I have windows vista Premium.
The computer I am trying to play it on has XP home edition 2002 and Windows media player 10.
The video is for a friend to put on their website, and chances are the audio wont appear on their computer either? I dont have internet on my comp so I havent tried uploading to youtube, so I don't know about that either, I would like youtube to recognise my audio also.
SO What I want is to be able to make a video, with audio that pretty much anyone can watch on any computer.
Please help.
JoshuaIt appears that, when you output your MPEG, you chose an audio codec that your friend's computer doesn't support. (It's Dolby Digital by default. So entering the Advanced settings and changing the audio codec to MPEG or PCM might help.)
It's also possible your friend's operating system is way out of date, sine he's still running Media Player 10. He should go to Windows Update, select the Custom option and get all of the necessary updates.
He may have to do this several times, with computer restarts in between, if he's way behind with his updates, since some updates depend on other updates being installed. In the end, his XP should be at SP3.
