Temporary Fix for the New ATV Video Jitters

I have tested this across 5 different 2010 Apple Units, using a different HD rental on each one, and found that it worked 100% of the time. This is just a temp fix but it will allow you to watch your movies without the jitter issue.
1. Rent Movie and begin watching.
2. Keep track of buffer level by checking white progress meter (up or down arrow on remote)
3. White progress bar is the buffer. When it reaches the end (100%), this is when the jitters will start.
4. Reboot the ATV (Unplug power then plug back in)
5. Restart the movie. The buffer should still be full and it will playback without issue.
You may also be able to just rent and not start watching until the buffer fills. Not sure how that works. Point is let the movie buffer completely then reboot your ATV for smooth playback.

So far I have tried and SD movie I had in my iTunes library that was purchased from the iTunes Store, and HD video from my 7D I converted and added to iTunes library and watched several HD trailers from the "In Theaters" section on the ATV. None of them showed jittered after buffer completed. So far for me it has been HD rented content done so directly through the ATV.
Looking for a full movie to test now.

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Current recommendations is turn Java off. Generally you don't need it. Do not confuse it with Javascript which you do need for your browsers.
You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).

If it turns out you need it for some specific application or web site that you trust then turn it on only when running that application or visiting that site. If your work requires Java be enabled then at least disable it in your browsers.
If you do need to run Java, be sure that you pick up the Java Software Update 7 posted recently that takes 10.6 and 10.7 up to Java SE 6 revision 31.
Flashback is a moving target with lots of strains (various versions, permutations) and changing all the time. So who knows what's next?

What to delete for a barbones media server for the new ATV...

I am buying one of the new ATVs and own a laptop, so I am "borrowing" my parents' old iMac PPC running 10.5.7. There isn't a whole lot of room on the hard drvie so I am wondering what I can delete that will give me the most bang for my buck. Language stuff, printer drivers, etc.
I have gotten rid of the obvious stuff like an old iPhoto library, itunes library, documents, etc. I am now looking for additional stuff to dump. Thanks!

have you considered getting an external HD to move the iTunes library to ?

Fix for the Aluminum Wire Keyboard?

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsxp.html
do the new bootcamp drivers have fixes for the new aluminum keyboards?
Im setting up programs & applications using a new macpro, however eject key doesnt function, as i ahve multi-disk installations...and even listening to itunes/wmp11 volume keys dont work.
im just weary of drivers/updates as from previous built xp systems they seem to cause more harm than good and with reading alot of compatibility issues lately.
im wondering if there is any known good fix.
anyone try the new drivers?
i just dont want to have to end up using 3rd Party key re-mappers.
i like to keep it clean and minimal.
thanks guys!

I use the standard apple keyboard with my MacPro. When I installed 2.1 I got "Apple Kybd errors could not install" message. Subsequently the Eject Key worked for the upper dvd but Option|Eject wouldn't open the lower drive. After numerous installs I uninstalled 2.1 and installed Leopard 2.0 drivers. I got the same error message and the keyboard will work period. I run XP SP2 on its own internal drive.

The New iPod Video !!!

I saw the specs for the new iPod Video
but they mentioned the 80g but not the 30g.
Is there any upgraded specs for the new 30g iPod
rather than the cheaper prize?
I love everything about the new 80g including the increased playtime of songs and videos but the
only thing that i don't like about tis the thickness..
So I hope that the new 30g iPod video has the
increased playtime to....
Does anyone know about the new specs for the
new 30g iPod Video??

I finished the test and I get five hours of video playback with the backlight completely dimmed, but its not an ideal setting to be watching movies. So I have the backlight 1/4 as bright. So I should get like 3.5 hours video playback. I called Apple and apparently the new 30GB iPod does have a longer battery life and 60% brighter screen. Would it be worth getting if you are able to return your iPod? I would say "No" especially if you have it open. The restocking fee is 10% of how much you paid for. I paid $288 for my iPod so I would have to pay $28.80 for the restocking fee. So if I did refund it and bought the new 30GB iPod for $249.00 plus the $19.85 tax and also add the restocking fee of $28.80 I would have paid $297.65 compared to the iPod I orignally bought for $288. I'm still going to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and see if I could return it through the Apple Store and see if the restocking fee might get waived, but I doubt it. Its still worth a try since I pass by it coming home from school.

[svn:fx-trunk] 12025: Switching out the old video component for the new video component that uses OSMF .

Revision: 12025
Revision: 12025
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-11-19 17:48:04 -0800 (Thu, 19 Nov 2009)
Log Message:
Switching out the old video component for the new video component that uses OSMF. Also fixing RSL issue with OSMF because a change in flex-config.xml accidentally got overwritten. Also fixing a bug caught during the last code review where you would set the volume on the VideoPlayer, but the volumeBar wouldn't be made aware of that change.
Switching out the video component results in many API changes. The changes are highlighted below:
Class name changes:
- spark.primitives.VideoElement is being renamed to spark.components.VideoDisplay
- spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamingVideoSource is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoSource
- spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamItem is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoItem
VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer event changes:
The new video component's events are:
- bytesLoadedChange : org.osmf.events.LoadEvent
- currentTimeChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
- durationChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
- mediaPlayerStateChange : org.osmf.events.MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent
The old video component's events were:
- close : spark.events.VideoEvent (removed)
- complete : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
- metaDataReceived : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
- playheadUpdate : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with currentTimeChange)
- progress : flash.events.ProgressEvent (replaced with bytesLoadedChange)
- ready : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer property changes:
Renames:
- maintainAspectRatio:Boolean has been renamed to scaleMode:String and rather than true/false, it now access 4 values: none, zoom, letterbox, and stretch. See the enum class org.osmf.display.ScaleMode.
- playheadTime:Number has been renamed to currentTime:Number
- playWhenHidden has been renamed to pauseWhenHidden, and it's "tense" has been reversed. So playWhenHidden = true correlates to pauseWhenHidden = false. Also, before we would only pause when the video component was explcitly set to visible=false, but now we detect if the video components or any of it's ancestors have been hidden.
- totalTime:Number has been renamed to duration:Number
New properties:
- bytesLoaded:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
- bytesTotal:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
- loop: Boolean this was a property added a while ago on the old video component but not in the original video player spec
- mediaPlayerState: this is a new property that details the state of the video component. See org.osmf.media.MediaPlayerState for all the possible values.
- seekToFirstFrame:Boolean (pending PARB approval) - This is a new property available on VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer. When autoPlay = false, if seekToFirstFrame is set to true, then we will connect to the server to start downloading the video, figure out the size of the video and resize appropriately, and show the first frame of the video. If seekToFirstFrame is false, then no connection to the server is made, there's no implicit size for this video, and the first frame will not be show automatically. By default the value of this property is true. In the old video component, when autoPlay = false, we always has the same behavior as seekToFirstFrame = true. Now it is controllable through this property. Eventually, (not for Flex 4.0), we will most-likely have support for a thumbnail source or a splash screen so the video's preview will show up without making an unneeded connection to the server. The property name may change depending on PARB.
Other changes:
- autoRewind: The default of autoRewind is now true instead of false
- enabled: before we paused the video when the video component was explicitly set to enabled = false. Now we pause the video when the video component or any of it's ancestors have been disabled.
VideoPlayer-only changes:
- videoObject:flash.media.Video property is now a new property on VideoPlayer. It was previously only on VideoDisplay.
- The skin states for the old VideoPlayer were: connectionError, disabled, disconnected, loading, playing, stopped, connectionErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen, disconnectedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, stoppedAndFullScreen. The new skin states are: uninitialized, loading, ready, playing, paused, buffering, playbackError, disabled, uninitializedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, readyAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, pausedAndFullScreen, bufferingAndFullScreen, playbackErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen
DynamicStreamingVideoItem property changes:
- bitRate:Number renamed to bitrate:Number
DynamicStreamingVideoSource property changes:
- initialIndex has been added to DynamicSteramingVideoSource
- live:Boolean has changed to streamType:String which accepts values: live, recorded, any. See the enum class org.osmf.net.StreamType for more info.
- serverURI:String renamed to host:Object
- streamItems:Array has changed types to streamItems:Vector.
ScrubBar property changes (THESE CHANGES ARE NOT DONE YET, BUT SHOULD BE DONE SOON)
- bufferedStart will be removed
- bufferedEnd will be renamed to loadedRangeEnd. This property name still may change depending on PARB.
- bufferedArea skin part needs to be renamed. Probably will be renamed to loadedArea. PARB still deciding.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

The Video Converter for the new

I don't know if all creative players use the same video converter but for the new ZEN I have a problem with cropping the widescreen videos. I tick the box and everything but the converter doesn't crop the video, it stays exactly the same and I have the two black lines on top and below when I play it. I can use other software to do that but the Creative Video Converter should be able to do it.

no I actually haven't but I dont know what is the problem with this one since it does give me the option to crop. On some videos it just doesn't give you the option so you know that the format is not suitable but for this one everything seemed fine.

If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone.

I've read that Promise Pegasus2 series does not sell replacement parts. I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage that may break and cannot be fixed. What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro?

I've read that Promise Pegasus2 R6 thunderbolt 2 series does not sell replacement parts (no replacement parts for any of the Pegasus line). I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage (12tb version) that may break and cannot be fixed (am told that one must purchase a new unit if a part breaks). What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro? Thanks so much for your help.
Discussion about this issue at MacWorld.com: http://www.macworld.com/article/2082783/first-look-promises-pegasus2-r6-thunderb olt-2-raid-array.html

I've used the original Pegasus R6 units for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them. On the two occasions I've had to call on their technical sujpport, I've found them readily available, knowledgeable, and very helpful. In one case it involved the reset of a unit after a power failure at an inopportune time; in the other case it was a question about upgrading disk drives to higher capacities (1 Gb gto 4 Gb). I was pleased to learn that their tech support people were in California and as good if not better than upper-tier AppleCare reps. The hardware itself has functioned flawlessly so far.

Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work! Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu until Apple Logo comes on then wait
you will not lose any data.

It's important to understand what traits are and what they're not:
Traits are not intended to be generically extensible: there's a fixed set within the framework (although we may add additional traits in the future, to support new Flash/FMS capabilities). We experimented with making them fully extensible, but it turned out to be not worth the cost, particularly since there shouldn't be that many traits in a media system.
Traits represent fundamental characteristics or capabilities of the media in its context. For example, some media is playable (videos), other media is not (images).
A trait cannot apply to all media types. If it could, then there would be no reason to model it as a trait, instead we would model it as part of the MediaElement. Metadata is a good example of this, in that any MediaElement might have some metadata associated with it, so it wouldn't make sense to make metadata a trait. Similarly, any MediaElement has the ability to go into fullscreen mode, so I wouldn't model the ability to go fullscreen as a trait.
On a semi-related note, I'm often asked (inside Adobe and elsewhere) for a technical overview of OSMF. I've posted the slides that I use for this purpose here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/osmf/wiki/_discuss/thread/d6c3d719/1962/attachment/OSMF%20Ar chitectural%20Building%20Blocks.pdf
The slides cover the fundamental building blocks of OSMF, things you are likely to use over and over if you're building complex media experiences. They might shed some light on which different parts of OSMF should be used in which situations.

Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

Hey Igor, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Sorry that you have been experiencing problems with the video playback, have you tried performing a soft reset yet? This will not remove any data, only reset the device settings back to how they where when new.
To perform a soft reset firstly create a backup using Nokia Suite, then type in *#7780# in your phone and the security code 12345 by default if prompted.
If it does not work, you could also try and download a video playing app from Nokia Store to see if video playback functions better on it.
I hope this has helped!

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
Thanks!

Katherine,
have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase". You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage. Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
-- Léonie
If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information.
