Trouble Playing QT movies from my .Mac account

Here is one for you. I produce videos and wanted to play some of my stuff for a client on the iPhone. Now, understand it I download the movie from iTunes to the iPhone, I can play it beautifully. Here is the issue. I try to access my movie on the .Mac page through Safari and I get a grayed-out symbol of some type, and no movie. I have the movies as .mp4s on the .Mac page and they work fine from other computers. Has Apple not created a way to allow movies to be played or streamed from the .Mac side of the world? I can pay YouTube stuff and watch movie trailers. I am sure it is a little quirk somewhere and would appreciate some suggestions.
Thanks,
Phil Hanna

Thanks, Mike:
Is that why I can go to my website and play movies that were done a couple of years ago and play them perfectly on the iPhone, but recently encoded stuff won't play? That is what has bothered me. Apple changed something on the site (.Mac Account) some time ago and the video stuff changed. I have tried QT and Compressor anything I can find to encode as I use to. It is not the end of the world, but one of those things that I would like to get working. I certainly can download movies from my site and install them on the iPhone, but it would be neat to have a QT player that would work off the internet side. I am encoding things in H.264 now, but getting the funny icon that won't enable play through the internet.

  • Trouble playing QuickTime movie from Keynote

    Hi everyone,
    Keynote '09 5.1.1 (1034), QuickTime Player 10.0 (131)
    I've got a Keynote presentation that I'd like to have as a movie so it can be shared. I want to utilize the "manual advance" feature that pauses the video when specified and waits for a click to advance the slideshow. But when I export (Share>Export>Quicktime), I have trouble getting the movie to play right.
    Without a playback control panel (doesn't appear--and isn't supposed to I gather), after playing around with the magic mouse and keyboard, here's what I get (I can't find an explanation of keyboard shortcuts):
    Just clicking the mouse plays the first slide, then stops the show at the end of that first slide. Clicking again does the same thing. It doesn't advance. The slideshow is designed to go automatically to the next slide and does so in Keynote.
    Scrolling up can forward the video to the next slide or more, but then clicking just plays the first slide again and stops. Scrolling down goes backward in the same way.
    Scrolling left or right while the video is playing lowers or raises the volume.
    Hitting the up arrow key plays it backwards, sound and all. Hitting the down arrow plays it forwards.
    Only after playing it (not just scrolling it--playing it) backwards--then forwards--will it advance to the next slide and work as I hoped it would, pausing at the right places where a click is needed to advance the movie. I found this by accident, but it works repeatedly, even after closing out QuickTime and opening the movie again.
    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to Keynote and don't use QuickTIme for much other than previewing videos. I'm hoping to share this video with many other people who aren't very computer literate, and making many similar videos. I want the other viewers to be able to play the video and just click once in a while (when the video asks them to.)
    I would very much appreciate any help.

    Welcome to the discussions, Christopher.
    Over in the Keynote discussions we've been going over this for quite awhile. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to your problem. I've even gone as far as attempting to preload the chapter track thinking that might solve the problem, but it doesn't work.
    One thing I don't think I've tried is setting up the first slide to advance "on-click" so that there's no animation before the first transition. The problem, of course, is that there's no "loading" animation to let it know when it's ready to go.
    Another thing I haven't tried but that might work is to create the movie so that it doesn't autoplay, and then, using the embed commands, set autoplay to be the full length of the movie (so that it will automatically play, but only after it's completely downloaded). Look here for the autoplay embed commands.

  • Playing movies from my Mac to my TV??

    I connnected my Macbook Pro to my TV to play some movies from it. I've put the TV on the "computer" input but it only shows my "celestial" home screen. I start hte movie on the Mac but it won't play on the TV. I'm looking for the key combination to switch modes on my Mac but can't seem to find it. Any suggestions on how I can correct this?? Thanks.

    No volume ... or no sound at all?
    If no volume, perhaps you have the volume on your MBP muted or turned down; or the TV volume turned down.
    If no sound at all, then you proably need to connect the audio-out of your MBP to the appropriate audio-in on your TV.   (Only certain MBP models  support audio via the miniDisplayPort/Thunderbolt port video output.  Many models require a separate audio connection in addition to the video connection.)

    In a different post, you asked:

    There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
    I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
    If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time.  But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
    Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie.  If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

  • HT201840 What is the best Midi player to play Midi files from my Mac to my keyboard?

    I am having trouble outputing midi files from my Mac to my Clavanova keyboard. I am using a an XMIDI 1x1. When I use it on a Windows computers Window Media Players opens and it works just fine. I have also tested it in Midi Studio and it works. I just can't get files to play on my keyboard.

    The deal with syncing contacts is that you either do so through iTunes, with a supported application on your computer, or over-the-air with something like iCloud. You don't do both at the same time. Doing so will create duplicates & a mess. As to whether one is better than the other, that's up to you. Over-the-air keeps everything in sync across all your devices, automatically, but relies on the stability of the iCloud servers. With your computer, requires that you regularly sync, to keep stuff updated, and that you maintain a current backup.

  • TS1424 Why am I unable to rent movies from my iTunes account on my iPad?

    Until recently renting or buying movies from my iTunes account was seamless. However, I've recently tried on several occasions to rent a movie but the app either crashes or my iTunes sign-in box never appears.

    Your mom is signed in to her apple account probably. You cannot buy a movie on one account and move it to an ipad(different account) and play it. Cant be done, Copyright laws. Can only be accessed with the same account it was purchased with.
    Havent tried it myself, But im 99% sure you cannot SHARE movies like that.

  • How can I play .avi movies on my mac?

    How can I play .avi movies on my mac?
    Quicktime pro doesn't do it.
    If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!
    Thanks!

    How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
    Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
    If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.

  • Mail won't show messages from my .Mac account

    I have set up 5 accounts in Mail. Two of these accounts are .Mac mail accounts and the other 3 are verizon accounts. When I receive an email in any account, the Mail icon bounces on my desktop and makes its alert sound. I can check the 5 inboxes and retrieve messages from the verizon accounts, but not the .Mac accounts. The .Mac inboxes will tell me how many messages I have in those accounts, but I cannot read them in Mail. I have to do go Mac.com to read these messages! The Mac accounts are enabled. All of the accounts were set up before the new Mail came out and Mail worked fine until then, but I have not been able to read my messages in Mail from the .Mac accounts since the new version of Mail. Is this a common problem and is there something I can do to fix my inability to read these messages in Mail?

    Let’s check whether the rules could have a bearing on this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
    4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
    If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    You need to establish if it was 1080p or 720p HD you downloaded.
    If it's 1080p it will not play at all on AppleTV1 - the hardware is not powerful enough to decode 1080p h264 (or 720p above 25fps).  When AppleTv1 came out most items were SD only and with time more 720p HD stuff became available.  1080p content cm after AppleTV 1 and 2 were replaced by AppleTV 3.
    AppleTV2 can process but not display 1080p - it is stuck to 720p output.
    AppleTV1 could only process 720p max, but could always upscale on output to 1080p!
    Your iTunes Preference should determine what quality you are downloading/renting.

  • Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

    Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • I want to play a movie from my ipad on my tv, all hooked up and i get an error message that the tv isn't authorized to play it.

    I Want to play a movie from my ipad, on a tv but get a tv not authorized message, how do you authorize a tv?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
