Resume on apple tv

After updating the software, my apple TV does not resume plays. This is extremely annoying and I don't understand why Apple feels the need to fix something that isn't broken?
Please just get you act together and fix this major (yet another this year...) mess-up!

Sorry, but you can't. Movies rented on an Apple TV (or iPad, iPod touch or iPhone) can only be viewed on that device. The movie can't be transferred elsewhere.
Regards.

  • Upgraded to Lion, now Apple Mail no longer sends via SMTP to GMAIL

    Greetings! First and foremost, THANK YOU for reading this discussion.  I truly appreciate any and all assistance. Being one who likes to exhaust all resources before posting, I have literally spent that last 7 and a half hours reading pages and pages of threads here, on Google Forums along with finding other data across the net.
    The problem started immediately upon the LION upgrade.   Everything worked fine until the upgrade and then BOOM...no more Apple Mail sending to Gmail SMTP server.  I can receive Gmail just fine, but no can send.When a message is sent, after a long while, an error message pops up stating that the SMTP server is "off line."  Obviously it is timing out.
    I have confirmed the settings in Preferences.  I have cleaned the hard drive (running the internal First Aid app).  I confirmed the password was correct in KeyChain.  I have tried a lot of corrective methods as stated in the threads.
    I have tried using different ports (25, 465, 587).  I have set the connection from smtp.gmail.com to actual IP addresses including the following:
    209.85.227.109
    74.125.91.109
    74.125.39.16
    74.125.157.109
    74.125.113.109
    173.194.68.109
    I tried it with and without TLS/SSL enabled.
    With authentication and without.
    I even tried to telnet from the Mac to smtp.gmail.com without success.  (I can telnet from a Windows machine though...OUCH)
    I am NOT running LION OS X server, just plain old LION OS 10.8.2 on my MacBrook Pro.
    Thank you in advance for any and all courtesies extended.  Looking to resume using Apple Mail with my Gmail account ASAP.
    Sincerely,
    MWG2  

    Thanks Lanny...tried it...still doesn't work.  Called Apple Support...switched to Tier 2 support person Chris P. Was on the phone with him for 2 hours and 38 minutes...we tried everything under the sun...still can't get to smtp.gmail.com...can't even telnet to it from Mac.  We did network testing too...he thought my router was blocking ports 25, 465 & 587 but the router wasn't. After exhausting every concievable MAC setting, trying a number or solutions, killing the account and re-installing multiple times, his conclusion is that there is a third party software "blocking" the send in gmail...ummmmm...makes no sense to me as everything worked perfectly until I upgraded to OS X. Hence his solution is for me to take my Mac to the Apple Store and have them look at it.  My solution?  Don't use mail on the Mac and keep using Mail on my Windows machine.  I prefer Mac, but I have now spent over the last two days in excess of 10 hours on this problem...it's not supposed to be this difficult. Lesson Learned...if something's working, DON'T goof with it...Apple Mail under Snow Leopard worked perfectly...upgraded to Mt. LION (paid for it) and now I am really paying the price for doing that.   

  • Apple DVD Player software not reading SPRM 4 correctly.

    I am a DVD author and have recently run into an issue with Apple DVD Player not reading SPRM 4 (current title) correctly. I know this isn't the Apple DVD Player forum, but there doesn't seem to be one for that application, so here I am...
    I have a disc (not authored in a Mac environment) that uses the value of SPRM 4 to track the last title played, and if it happens to equal the value of the main feature title, then use the "PLAY" button on the main menu as a resume.
    Apple DVD Player seems to think that SPRM 4 equals this particular value all the time, regardless of what title last played, which is totally breaking my disc. The real kicker is that the disc works flawlessly on set-tops and in a windows environment.. just not on any Mac that I have tried.
    Has anyone out there also experienced a problem with tracking SPRM 4 in Apple DVD Player? Is anyone from Apple reading these things, possibly someone who can flag this as a major issue?
    I am positive that this specific to Apple DVD Player, because the disc works as intended EVERYWHERE else.
    I have tried and experienced this issue across several Macs, and across several versions of DVD Player. It's consistent across all.
    If anyone has any ideas, please respond.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    these problems are well documented, use the search functions for plenty of solutions

  • Does the iPod Touch work well for web browsing and submitting resumes?

    Hi, I am interested to know if the Touch would work well for a specific application. Lets say I'm surfing company career websites and want to browse and submit my resume. Would this work well for that? Usually on a computer, I can upload a Word Doc or PDF resume when the career site asks for it. Is this possible? I was wondering if anyone has tried this and can tell me. For instance, has anyone used the Touch to post a resume to Apple's or IBM's career job sites?
    Thanks.

    Just to clarify. I'm specifically asking if a web form that allows you to browse your hard drive on a Mac to submit a word doc can also be used on Touch. So if I have a PDF of my resume, can I use a webform to submit it just like on a mac?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • 20 to 30 hrs of battery (supposedly)

    hi everyone, about a month ago i did the battery update 1.2 and then my battery immediately changed its duration from normal to between 20 to 40 hrs and the capacity changed to 64984 mAh at full charge, of course the real life was lower than 2 hrs. Two weeks later, the battery life starts to low down even more, but always shows full charge and between 20 to 40 hrs of duration supposedly. But the battery was able to charge until one day just stop charging for another week. And now it seems that it is charging again, but still shows 20 to 40 hr of duration and 100% of charge. I just really dont know what to do because Ive tried so many things and I went to the only Apple Certified Store around here (in Guadalajara, Mexico) and they just kicked me out and said: "go over internet and contact Apple by yourself, we cant help you"
    By the way, i buy the computer in april of last year and my battery was replaced about six months ago.
    So please help me!!!!! Im desperate!!
    macbook pro 15in   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   1Gb RAM

    i know, but at least could somebody tell me what I can do in this situation because the tech support in here *****! they didnt even know about the battery update and they said that I can contact Apple by internet but my guarantee expired in april this year. But Apple said that the battery guarantee is now extended for an extra year, so how can I contact them without an AppleCare and how could I know if they can replace my battery??
    well, in resume, the Apple service center (if you can call it that way...) send me here because they couldnt help me because of their incompetence, so please help me I really dont know what to do

  • Time machine backup blocked; disc image sparse bundle needs ejecting

    Team, I cannot backup to 2Tb time machine; error message as above. How do I 'eject' this disc image and what exactly is it?
    Thanks
    Nick B

    OK, we fixed this for now with the simple, but common Mac way of
    throwing something in the trash.
    In this case it seems to be a temporary network connection to the remote Time Machine partition. When Time Machine balks, the icon for the temporary mount gets stuck on the Desktop. We threw it in the trash (unmounting it) and then Time Machine can resume.
    Apple networking is annoying, but then on the other, it's easy. We lose printing in a similar way.
    Anyway, although we seem to be OK, I'd like to understand this a bit better. I can see in the "/Volumes" folder (in Terminal) three Time Machine mounts, not one as I would have expected, and they all appear to point to the same place:
    drwx------   9 root                   wheel  264   Jun 22 10:23 TM-2
    drwx------   9 root                   wheel  264  Jun 22 10:23 TM-1
    drwx------   9 MYUSERNAME  staff   264 Jun 22 10:23 TM
    On the remote machine, the disc TM appears only once.
    If you look at the listing of all three, they are identical. What gives?
    Is this a consequence of the fact that we are putting the time machine backups on a remote machine (that is not a Mac OS server). We have to mount the remote disc before Time Machine will run, but from that point it works perfectly -- or as perfectly as any mac networking thing seems to work.

  • Time Machine Error cannot write to sparse bundle -- file in use.

    We're having trouble with a Time Machine backup. Twice in the last three days, the backups failed with the error message that the backup disk image is already in use.  I noticed that the partition containing the backup sparse bundle is mounted twice in /Volumes -- /Volumes/X and /Volumes/X-1. The error message refers to /Volumes/X-2.
    The icon that appears on the desktop has not cleared as if it's still doing a backup.
    Looking at the sparsebundle directly gives me the "verificationstate" as 1 -- I recall reading that this is supposed to 0. Other values:
    verificationdate == 2012-06-05, and VerificationExtendedSkip == false.
    Note that the backup drive is attached to another Mac still running Leopard. This is run fine for years over a gigabit network.
    Any ideas?

    OK, we fixed this for now with the simple, but common Mac way of
    throwing something in the trash.
    In this case it seems to be a temporary network connection to the remote Time Machine partition. When Time Machine balks, the icon for the temporary mount gets stuck on the Desktop. We threw it in the trash (unmounting it) and then Time Machine can resume.
    Apple networking is annoying, but then on the other, it's easy. We lose printing in a similar way.
    Anyway, although we seem to be OK, I'd like to understand this a bit better. I can see in the "/Volumes" folder (in Terminal) three Time Machine mounts, not one as I would have expected, and they all appear to point to the same place:
    drwx------   9 root                   wheel  264   Jun 22 10:23 TM-2
    drwx------   9 root                   wheel  264  Jun 22 10:23 TM-1
    drwx------   9 MYUSERNAME  staff   264 Jun 22 10:23 TM
    On the remote machine, the disc TM appears only once.
    If you look at the listing of all three, they are identical. What gives?

  • Answering questions on the forums

    Hello everyone,
    I am preparing to give a targeted resumé to Apple in the coming weeks and had the idea that my knowledge of apple products or more importantly ability to find relevant information may serve Apple in the best way if I can be paid for answering questions on these forums and any other forums Apple identifies as representative of their services. So my question is this: is it possible to be paid a wage for answering questions on forums? This need not be an in house operation, as I think my internet connection at home would suffice. I also speak fluent French and could answer questions of a high level of sophistication in French. Alors c'est possible?
    Merci et Thank you

    But yesterday in these Communities you asked a question "Where can I find the manual for my machine" — which you could have found the answer to with a simple search like THIS.

    Try booting to the recovery partition and running Disk Utility.
    1, Boot while holding down the command and R keys (two keys).
    see this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    2. Run Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the left column, First Aid then click Repair Disk.
    3. Quit DU and restart.
    If that does not do it, you can reinstall the OS from the same screen as took you to DU.
    (My cat has never been able to do what yours did. I think he is just trying to email his friends.)
