Spotty online rental movie streaming via YouTube

I just bought my Macbook Pro about 3 weeks ago and whenver I rent a movie online via YouTube, the playback is always spotty and freezes. I never have this problem when I watch rented YouTube movies on my iPad. Nor did I have this problem on my old MacBook. Any ideas on what may be going on?

If you downloaded the movie in iTunes on your computer you have to "Move" the rental to the iPad. Copied from another thread ....
To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad.
Movies will play in the videos app.

Rental movie streaming while downloading problem

My Apple TV with the latest version of the OS isn't allowing me to stream my rented movies to it while they are downloading. I'm able to rent a movie on my apple TV and begin playing it while it continues to download (read: buffer) but I'm not able to do the same thing on my Macbook Pro with the new (10.7.3) version of OS X and the latest version of iTunes?? *** Apple. Why will the video play on the laptop but not allow me to start streaming it to the other devices set up with home sharing?
Also, you should seriously get with your media managers because it seems silly that I can rent an HD movie (take "In Time") but I can't buy the very same HD movie. That is ridiculous! Seriously why can't I buy it?

This has never been possible. If you rent on your computer you have to wait until it downloadeds completely before you can stream.
It is best to rent directly unless you have a slow connection or want to store the film for some reason.
The other has to do with the licensing agreements, it is beyond their control.

Which plugins to I need to watch online movie streams?

I can watch Youtube videos as well as streams such as Twitch. However, when I try to watch an online movie stream it doesn't work anymore. The loading wheel just keeps spinning, but no error message comes up that says that there is a plugin missing. I installed and updated the flash player and shockwave player, so which plugins do I need more? Java or silverlight maybe? Thank you

Yes, you can watch movies on your HD TV using the Digital AV Adapter and, of course, an HDMI cable.

HT1657 I downloaded a rental movie utilizing my laptop. When I went to find it via Apple TV, that is associated with my iTunes account, I couldn't see it. This has happened before and it sort of popped up later. No such luck this time. Operator error.

Help Please!!!! When I download rental movies from iTunes, via my MacBook Pro, I cannot see them to watch them on Apple TV or the MBP. Is it me or something glitchy that I have no control over? Thanks for your assistance.

Hello FeedUpUser,
Thank you for the question. When you purchase a rental, you can view it on one device at a time:
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

If you are using a first generation Apple TV, you can transfer your movie to the Apple TV using the steps in the section titled "Transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV" in the following articles:

If you have a second or third generation Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to play the rental through your Apple TV. You can find the steps in the following article:

How to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor?

I'm trying to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor but every time I submit it, it fails due to error code -50. It worked two hours ago (albeit, very slowly) with another .flv file but now it refuses to even try. Please help!

Sorry you're having problems, but it's not surprising. The error code is invalid media.
The easy way is to forget about Compressor and upload the Flash file directly to You Tube with their uploader.
You'll also save a generation of compression loss.
Good luck.

I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any downloads are finished, the icon disappears. I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes. Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail. Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies. Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'. Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab. Hey Presto! The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading. Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me. Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem. Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie! We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV. Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it! We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough. We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same. One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired. There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie. Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

Why do I need to download a rental movie each time I want to pick up from when stopped

Why does apple tv store rented movies. Have to re-download each time want watch same rental

The Apple TV does not have accessible storage. It is simply caching the streamed content and once other content is accessed or the device turned off the rental is flushed requiring reload.
If you want to store you can rent on your computer and stream via home-sharing.

Sql Developer MSSql Migration, Online data move, image to long raw mapping

Hello,
my task is to migrate a MSSql Server Database to Oracle 10.2.0.4 with SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64
and JTDS JDBC Driver oracle.sqldeveloper.thirdparty.drivers.sqlserver 11.1.1.58.17.
Capture, convert and online data move works except data mapping from MSSql image to Oracle long raw dataype.
I need to map MsSql image to oracle blob, to achieve online data move!
is Sql Developer online migration MsSql image to oracle long raw possible?
I know that long raw is outdated, but i'm dba and not responsible for the software part.
What options should i try? offline data move? can MS Bulk Copy Program export image data and SQL*Loader import into long raw?
Any experience or tipp?
Thanks
Michael

Hi user12132314 ,
I do not see any 'long raw' options on our current SQLServer 2005 data type mapping. (Raw is a separate 2000 byte data type).
The usual route for SQLDeveloper is to go to Blob.
Online - this is simple & automated.
Offline - this actually goes via hex output in bcp to sqlldr, read in as CLOB which is then encoded to blob. (This is automated)
(Online 'Copy to Oracle' option, right click on table, may be of use if advanced features not included in the select such as defaults are not required, it copies over a select * from table, including blobs)
To move you from blob to long raw after migration can be done (easily enough if Oracle database >=10g so the stream does not have to be in smaller 'chunks')
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:3938270166267830::::P11_QUESTION_ID:702825000306
I can look into this if you want to go down this route.
Note however that long raw has drawbacks and blob is preferred, see
Oracle® Database SQL Language Reference
11g Release 2 (11.2)
Part Number E17118-04
Data Types
LONG Data Type
for example one restriction is:
A table can contain only one LONG column.

Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
Please help me.

Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

HT1657 I purchased 6 ITunes rental movies on my IPad, but I can't get them to play. Please advise ASAP

I purchased rental movies for my vacation. I am on plane now. Went to Video Rentals on IPad. Pressed Play. Will not ply please advise ASAP!

Try searching for the name of one of your rentals on the iPad's spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if they play : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Videos app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a soft-reset : 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.
