Streaming Movie from one iMac to another
I hope this is a quick issue.
I have had a Mac Mini for several years connected in our family room to a Sony TV. We use iTunes to watch movies and it works very well. I have a 2 terabit external drive (iomega) with Firewire, but at this point the Itunes library is on the Mac Mini's hard drive.
I have another mac (27 inch) which has a larger hard drive and a Thunderbolt 6 TV Raid (3 tb mirror). I curently have the itunes library on that mac located on my 256 gig SD drive (second hard drive is 2 TB disk).
I was planning on moving the itunes library to the RAID and running movies in the family room via home sharing.
So last night we tried to watch a movie stored on my SD drive accross the wired network to the family room. It played fine for about 5 minutes and then just stopped. When I tried to restart the movie the Mac Mini said I could not because home sharing was not on! I checked it was.
I then used the finder to log onto that mac again and the movie showed up in the shared section on iTunes but again would not play for more than a few minutes.
So what am I doing wrong?
I was considering getting an Apple TV for the bedroom, but if I cannot successfully stream a movied from one mac to another on the WIRED network, what chance will I have with a WIFI connected Apply TV??
Mike
Found the problem.
D'ooh
Had wifi and wired network connection running!
I turned off wifi on the Mac mini and it works fine.
Also tested wifi streaming with a Mac book and it works fine.

Messaging does not let me move from one conversation to another without going to the contact info of the person and choosing "send a message", then I can continue the conversation. I'm sure it's a setting I have made by mistake, but can't figure it out
Hi Elaine
Here si what I do:
Since I tend to message with teh same people I leave the messages available to me. If you are in one conversation with "Karen" and want to message with "Kathy" tap the message back arrow and select Kathy.
As always just be careful to rememeber who you are messaging to! -
Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.
Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5). I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
Good luck

Transferring home movies from one computer to another
What is the best way to do this? I have about 500 video clips that I want to move from one computer to another. I've tried using the export function in iPhoto but all I get upon transfer is a single frame of the movie. I keep the files on an external HD but I can't find where they are stored. I see the iPhoto app to open but not the original files. Additionally, whenever I do locate these files, how can I get them transferred with the keywords assigned to them? TIA! Going from a MBP running 10.6.8 to a MBA running 10.8.2
I'm not sure you can assign keywords to a movie on export, as these are written to the exif metadata of a photo and most video has no such metadata.
You say you've tried the export function in iPhoto, but what settings have you used? Exporting with the Kind set to Original should yield the videos.

Why the screen flickers and moves from one app to another by itself without being touch?
Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? 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.

Can anyone tell me how to save a project in i-movie from one Mac to another? Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to save a project from one Mac to another I can save and copy 'events', but the 'projects' won't open, thanks
Hi
iMovie'08 - NO - Projects can not be moved - As far as I know
You need iMovie'09 or 11 where both Events and Projects can be moved.
DO NOT move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Projects - or -
• iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - Else they will not work and in some cases it is un-repairable !
Moving has to be done inside iMovie Application.
AND You need an in between storage eg an external hard disk and here are an IMPORTANT MUST
• it MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work FOR VIDEO
• Should be a FireWire one - As USB/USB2 performs badly especially when filling up and when editing HD-video.

Move from one environment to another
how to move universe from development environment to testing and to production???
which tool do we use to ove from one env to another???Hi,
You can try like this.
1) Login on LCM.
2) in preference add server details for dev and qa.
3) create new job and login on source server cmc and destination.
4) Click on create.
5) add objects in this job. like select the universe.
6) Promote job.
If you are not able to login on source or destination then you need to open some ports between server. for the mean time you can use import wizard also.. if you are doing first time then read the import guide and test with some objects first.
Thanks,
Amit
