Setting resolution for viewing TV and movies on HDTV?

Last night I played around with watching Apple TV through iTunes using my MacBook Pro and 1080p TV. Conncection is made via a DVI to HDMI cable, with a separate mini-plug to RCA cable from the headphone output for audio. I can open Preferences on the Mac and set the resolution for the TV, but there is no 1080 option (1920 X 1080). The video card should support external monitor resolutions up to 2560 by 1600 pixels but I only see resolution options (for both the built in and HDTV) up to 1440 by 900 (native for the Mac's display).
The TV is recognized by the Mac, but the resolutions available are identical between the two, and changing resolution on one changes it on both.
Suggestions on which resolution to use? Or how to "unlock" the higher resolutions to get to 1920 by 1080?
Thanks!

Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos.

Hello, eco1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location. If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

Airplay Audio for TV Shows and Movies

I just purchased Airport Express for Airplay using my MacBook Pro, iTunes and iHome speakers. My music and radio stations on iTunes stream to the speakers with no problems. The audio for TV shows and movies on iTunes will not stream. Airplay is set for my iHome speakers and the audio only comes through on my computer speakers. I'm watching the movies/tv shows on my computer, not streaming to a TV. Any suggestions?

You now have a booster for boosting audio called boom--do you have anything for adding brightness for viewing streamed tv/movies on mac just to dark on my macbookpro

mac has a booster for volume--called boom-is there anything for viewing stream tv/movies on mac to make brighter--streaming tv is so dark you can not see--what is out there for this problem

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies?

I m Using MacBook Air and APT 160
I have three questions:
1- Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies I need the space in my MacBook Air? If yes please tell me how?
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Thanks

No, it is not a storage solution as if you need to get the things off it you can't. If you deete things from iTunes they'll delete at the next sync. Provided you have backup copie on an external drive or CD/DVD, you could delete the actual file from the Finder leaving the database entry in iTunes - in this way you free space on the laptop but files stay on AppleTV.
An alternative would be to change itunes Preferences (Advanced tab) not to import into the library, then for things you don't want on the Macbook Air, have them on external drive, drag and drop to itunes, sync, then disconnect drive for portable use. Again when the files aren't available they won't be deleted, unless you delete the itunes database reference.
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
n is faster.
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Your options are basically small portable drives most of which are USB powered (though may require powered hubs if you have a hub) or larger desktop externals requiring power adapter and more space.
For value the desktop externals give more capacity per pound/dollar, and will also have bigger capacity maximums at a given time (bigger and bigger capacity discs being developed all the time).
Try and work out the capacity/pro
ice point and if a portable might be useful, then you have a variety of option.
Peronally I like Western Digital, Seagate and Freecom models, but they're all fairly good these days, and even popular brands can fail. I avoid Maxtor and IBM/Hitachi having had failures in the past, but all drives eventually fail.

Editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac. Does anyone know how to do this?

iTunes 12.1.0.50
late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.10.2
I can no longer edit or add the track information for tv shows and movies. If, for example, there are 26 episodes of a tv show in a season and I want to edit their entries in iTunes to reflect 1 of 26, 2 of 26, 3 of 26, and so on, how do I do that? With the 12.1 update, they took away the old info box. Very irritating.

JNLong2811 wrote:
The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.
So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).
Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Subler to edit movies/TV shows.

This will tell you how to reformat your iPod mini to PC format which will then allow you to use it on your PC. Put simply, just plug it into iTunes and that should reformat it (however you will lose songs that are on the iPod).

How set authorizations for sales reports and other reports in SAPB1

Hi, I'm currently working in SAP Business One Version 8.82
The issue I'm facing is that I want to set it up so that certain users cannot see other users' sales information. I know that I can turn on or off the Sales Analysis Report for various users for instance, but what I really want specifically is this. Suppose we have 3 different teams: Team A consists of (Angie, Angela, and Anita the manager), Team B consists of (Bob, Barbara, and Ben the manager), Team C consists of (Cat, Charlie, and Courtney the manager). I would like to make it so that everyone can view the individual sales order documents of everyone else (in case a customer calls and needs information, but the salesperson who created that document isn't there); however, Angie should only see her own orders when she does a Sales Analysis while Anita, the manager of Team A, should see the the orders of Angie, Angela, and herself of course.
To summarize, I'd like to see the following
1. Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
2. Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
3. Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
4. The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders.
What's the best way to approach this? Is it best if I create my own report? I haven't created any reports from scratch yet, so I'm not sure exactly how that works. I'd like to be able to group the salespeople up by location if possible. The sales analysis report doesn't really do that, but it is useful. I just don't want everyone to be able to see the numbers on their peers.
Thank you I appreciate any help or advice.

Hi,
1. Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
Answer:
Create own report by using query and save under query manager and the assign for all group. So that all sales person can run this query and can get sales order detail.
2. Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
Answer:
Create individual query ( add condition in where clause slpname = 'XXX') for each sales person and save it under query manager and assign to particular user group
3. Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
Answer:
Create query for only particular team ( condition is slpname = XXX OR YYY OR ZZZ) and save under query manager. Make schedule report on this and send it to only particular manger
Same way create for another manager and schedule report.
4. The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders
Answer.
Create query for all sales person and schedule report to big boss.
Hope you can get an idea.
Let me know if you need sales report ( advice required field)
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

Setting Cursor - For a window and application wide

Hi,
Can somebody please help with a cursor problem ? I am not able to set the busy cursor for a frame when the application is doing some work. I have tried many methods of doing this (some of them from these forums...) but still I am not able to make this work.
1) setting the cursor before doing the work and resetting after the
work doesnt work.
2) setting the cursor for the window by calling
Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(getRootPane().getGlassPane());
window.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
This works but the events are not blocked by the frame i.e if i
click on any part of the window like a button or something, that
event is fired after the work is done. So this is not good.
3) created a glass pane for the window and blocked all the events. Then
set the cursor for the the glass pane. This does not work either
since the event thread is doing the work. So had to create another
thread to do the work. This works but when the cursor is reset back,
it doesnt reset. I have to move the mouse a bit to reset it. So this
is not good either.
4) created a work around for the cursor by creating a modal dialog box
saying "Processing..." in the event thread and doing the work in the
worker thread. The worker thread posts an event to dispose the
dialog box after the work is done. This works perfectly though it is
still not good because the cursor is not showing busy. Because of
the modal dialog box, the user cant do anything in the application
which is exactly what i want. Is this ok ? Can somebody provide any
other work around for this ?
5) Also I have another question for you guys. In the worker thread if i
do something like updating the gui etc., it takes a lot of time
almost 10 times more than when the work is done in a single threaded
environment. Is this because of the communication between the worker
thread and the event thread ? If I do only data related work not gui
work in the worker thread, this is fine.
I am new to Swing, so somebody please explain to me if they can.
My environment is JDK 1.1.7, Swing 1.1 on Sun Solaris 2.5.1. Is this because I am using old versions. Is this resolved in the newer versions like 1.3 etc ?

That is all true. The problem is the need to give a user the ability to run a program that has secrets that should only be visible by root. If you give the user ownership, they cab see the keys to the kingdom.
For example, you may want to allow a user to connect to an arbitrary wireless access point. Generally, this is a privileged operation -- you want to give them permission to do it, but don't want to give them ownership. You may also not want them to be able to see or modify the pass phrases.

Is it possible to add a shortcut to one or two very select websites to the navigational toolbar for convenient, one-click entry (i.e., which toolbar currently has buttons for viewing bookmarks and browsing history)?

I would just like to be able to click once to get to one or two very important websites, just as I can now click once to show my viewing history (or scrapbook) in the sidebar.

That's what the bookmarks toolbar is for.
But putting single bookmarks there can fill it up quickly. Rather than a keyboard shortcut you can create a '''keyword shortcut''' for the bookmark, and that bookmark can be anywhere and out of sight. I keep all (most) of my keyword bookmarks in one folder on my bookmarks toolbar with the name beginning with the keyword. Here is an example, next door neighbor liked it for their netbook used at TV
'''Name:''' tv: TV Listings - Find Local TV Shows and Movie Schedules - Listings Grid | TVGuide.com

Problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11

I downloaded iMovie 11 from the Apps Store last night and am trying to make my first movie with it today. I use still photos exclusively.
For most - but not all - I like 5 seconds for photos and for transitions 2 seconds. I do vary this on occasion and so do not check "for all photos' or "for all transitions".
I can't get these settings to work with this version of iMovie. For example, I added a photo (5 sec) then a transition (2 sec) which changed the duration time of the photo - as it should. But when I double clicked the photo, to bring up the inspector window to change the duration of the photo, nothing happened. Then I added another photo. The duration of the first photo increased to 7 seconds and nothing I do seemed to change that.
The time increases seem random: for example, sometimes the time on the still photo increases to 6:29 sec, sometimes to 7 sec.
The duration for the transitions always remains the same - 2 sec; it's the time for the photos that jumps around. And I haven't been able to find a way to get back to 5 sec.
Before posting this, I researched and found an number of earlier posts detailing the same issues.
However, none of these posts had stars to indicate the problem was solved.
Has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that should be reported to Apple?

Interesting!!
I've spent a lot of hours on this too, but I have come up with a different solution perhaps because I like to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
Here's my process:
-> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
-> I discovered, as you have, that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
-> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when both transitions are added, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
-> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
Perhaps I am trying to make iMovie do more than it was intended to do, I don't know. Perhaps this problem stems from the fact that I bought just iMovie 11 from the Mac Apps Store and not the entire iLife 11. Don't know that either. But at least I have found a way to make the movie look the way I want it to look.
Thanks for sharing your process. I will use it when the circumstances are right.

Photo resolutions for iPad with and without Retina displays

Hello,
I would like to publish an App magazine on the iPad with Adobe DPS Single Edition. When creating the file in Indesign, I wondered about resolutions. The iPads 1 and 2 have a screen resolution of 1024x768 px and that is 72 dpi. The new iPad with Retina display comes with 2048x1536 px I reckon and a 200 dpi resolution. When creating the Indesign document for the folio, do I create the Indesign files with 1024x768 pixels? How does it work with resolution for pictures? I've heard you should have a picture folder with all 72 dpi pics and in that folder is another folder called "HD" that contains all pics in 200 dpi and double the size. When I place the 72 dpi photos into Indesign, how does it work for Retina displays then? Or does Indesign automatically search for my HD folder and pick the HD pics with 200 dpi for the Retina display iPads?
I'm a bit confused with that Retina thingy ...
Thank you in advance for your kind help!

Use the PDF format for your folio. Set the document and folio to 1024x768 and make sure your graphics have an effective resolution of 108ppi or greater.
The HD folder is only for overlays and quite frankly, it’s overkill for all but the most critical images.

How can i set resolution for monitor

The maximum resolution for my monitor is not shown in the preferences.
How can I make my macBook Pro use the display in the highest resolution.

What model MacBook Pro and what video format? Are you talking about the internal display or an external display? 1600 x 1200 is the old style 4:3 NTSC video format and 1920 x 1200 is today's widescreen 16:10 format. They're two different animals. The native resolution and what your notebook or external display can handle or adapt to are not necessarily the same thing.

As to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

Best wifi set up for multiple routers and appletvs

Hi, just got the new June 2013 "tower" airport extreme in my ongoing quest to improve non ethernet wifi in my large house (lots of bathrooms and solid block walls, no cable)
Trying to figure out best set up for the various routers and whether or not to use "Bridge" mode. Have the following
New tower airport extreme
2 x older airport extremes
3 airports
5 apple tvs each in a different room for streaming media to 5 televisions
SO planning to factory re-set all my old airports and then install the tower airport in prime receiving position. It will recieve the wifi signal via an ethernet cable from the "radio" on my roof which receives my internet signal. (Actually faster than most wired internet in the small town I live in).
Tower = main receiver and distributor of internet
1 x older airport extreme distributing this signal further into the house - SHOULD THIS BE IN BRIDGE MODE?
2 or more others distributing the signal from the older airport extreme further into the house - SHOULD THEY ALSO BE IN BRIDGE MODE?
I'm very unclear on the benefit of bridge mode. Currently all my routers operate freely and are just extenders - not in bridge mode. Devices just hook into whatever router is nearest - some of which show Excellent wifi and the furtherest show only "Good wifi. I have one room at the very end of my house where the wifi is pretty weak.
Any comments on set up or especially the value of Bridge mode and whether all down-stream routers should be bridged or just extended much appreciated. I guess there is a possibility that I place the 2 older extremes in two main extending locations. One for one section of the house and the other to receive the signal direct from the Tower Airport Extreme to distribute the other end of the house section. So should they both be bridged....?

When an AirPort is properly configured to extend the wireless range of another, it is automatically reconfigured into Bridge mode.
Each of AirPorts that you will use to extend the new 802.11ac AirPort Extreme would all need to be configured as such. Please check out this Apple Support article on how to extend AirPorts.
The key here is to understand that the extended network works in a wheel-like fashion with the base station being extended at the hub of the wheel and each of the extending ones on one of the spokes. This should help you plan the best placement of each base station for maximum performance. For more details on optimum placement, please see the following AirPort User Tip.
