I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

No 5.1 sound while watching movies in Vista with X-Fi XtremeGam

Hi all, I have just bought a new PC running Windows Vista, with the PC was a set of Creative T600 speakers and a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer card.
I am aware of the problems associated with X-fi cards and games (I have Alchemy installed and all works fine), but when I watch any movies on the PC I lose sound from the rear speakers. I have tried setting the card to Entertainment Mode and setting up 5. speakers but even here when I run the test I get no sound from the rear speakers.
So my question would be is there drivers to solve this problem, but still retain EAX gaming sounds etc. or am I reduced to watching 5. movies with only the front speakers working?

actually this issue has been discussed on the forum already
the "gamer" version does not include the hardware decoder, you have to use powerdvd to do that

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions?

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I rented Pacific rim yesterday in my Apple TV and watched part of it and them stopped. Now I am checking in my mac to watch the remaining part with iTunes but I cannot see the movie here.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain. For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action? But it is action? I have to look at both types to find the film. I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay. I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
Here's the list.
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
.avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
Good luck!

Watching movies with subtitles Apple TV

I've been searching for a post like this for ages so I decided to make one myself to help other users with the same issue I've had:
Watching movies with subtitles in Apple TV WITHOUT the awfull darkening, shadow or whatever blurry effect showed by itunes player when streaming via airplay.
As many apple fanboys, i just cannot get whyy apple has done such a poor job with apple tv regarding to subtitled videos: the darkening of the lower part of the screen where the subtitles are displayed is simply unbereable and, because of it, I've found myself being forced to hardcode (because muxing is not gonna work, you need to hardcode) subtitles into movies with mp4tools or other similar software, which takes AGES of processing. Bt after buying and ipad i've found a brand new -and incredibily efficient- way to do it: VLC STREAMER
With an Ipad and VCL Streamer, you'll be able to airplay any of your video files of any kind (forget about endless hours converting to mp4) and, what is most important about this thread: TO AIRPLAY MOVIES WITH SUBTITLES not the awfull way apple tv does it, but in a clean, beautiful and regular way.
You need to purchase it cause the free version doesn't support airplay streaming. It is under 2$ or so and it's the best 2$ I've spent in the apple store. Ever.
After having purchased it, you only need to run it in your computer, save any subtitle file (usually .srt) in the same folder with the video file it belongs to and (important) with the same name, just with the extension changed. Then you can either stream it via Wi-Fi or load it and save it in your ipad and, anytime you hit "apple tv airplay", you'll watch it on your tv amazingly as it should be, and not with the ******** darkening of the lower part of the screen that apple tv usually displays.
I know it's not an useful solution for everybody cause it needs an ipad to work but, if you are lucky enough to have one, VLC streamer is an app that will allow you to watch your subtitled movies in your tv easy and clear.
PS: Sorry for bad english!

Not always, but generally this is a network issue.
It also depends if you are playing across the LAN from iTunes (Computers icon using Home Sharing of iTunes) or playing purchases from the cloud under the main Movies/TV Shows/Music (iTunes Match) categories.
Audio will require less speed on either the LAN or internet to work well, whereas video, especially HD is more demanding. If it starts up quickly then stops to rebuffer I would consider interference on the LAN if uisng wifi (eg microwaves, neighbouring networks).
Also, to clarify, you are not talking about Airplay from a device to AppleTV (which will be worse with poor connections).
Test your internet speed at speedtest.net if playing from the internet.
SD needs 2.5 Mbps to play quickly, HD 6-8 Mbps for 720 or 1080p.
If playing across the LAN, if feasible (even for testing) connect as many device to the router by ethernet as possible to see if it's the wifi.
Occasionally when AppleTV behaves oddly it can help to unpower it completely and restart - may or may not help but quick and free. Same goes for restarting the router/Itunes when things go bad.

I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV. I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

Can no longer connect with itunes store to watch movies. How come?

I have been using Apple TV to watch movies on my television set for several months with no problems. The last movie I watched was on Nov. 22/13, but since then every time I want to rent a movie, I am unable to access the itunes store. I get a message saying Unable to sign In and that I should try again later. I have tried about 15 times over 2 days and keep getting the same message. Oddly enough I can actually watch the preview of any movie, but when I go through the process of actually renting the movie, then I get the message that I am unable to access the itunes store. What is the solution? Same problem with NETFLIX.

Try running iTunes Diagnostics and pasting the output here.
What firewall software are you running on your computer? Try to set it up again or uninstall it (for testing purposes only).
Also, take a look at this Apple document -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

After turning on iMAC the sign in page comes up and accept my password. It then goes to a page with a background pictures but nothing else. If I leave it there it eventually fades and shows the clock. How to I get it to open from there?

Hello,
See if it'll Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup).

What can I use to watch movies online with no use of iTunes

What can I downloadto watch movies online with no use of iTunes

It depends upon what sites you want to watch them on. Do they have their own apps ? If they don't and the sites are flash-based (which isn't supported on the iPad) then you could try browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites.
