Trying to get my new Blu-Ray connected. Why is this so complicated?

Okay here's the deal. I have a cable modem (Comcast) and an Airport Express (n) for my home computers. Everything works great... always have. Now I get this really cool LG BD-370 Blu-Ray Player for an early Christmas gift. Next, come the headaches. How in the world am I supposed to get my blu-ray player (hard-wired) connected to the internet so I can view my Netflix movies? I went to Best Buy and got conflicting answers. The Apple guy told me my best option was to purchase an Airport Extreme... but geez... this costs more than my new player. So PLEASE tell me what can I do. I thought I could just get some type of cheap wired router... Go from my modem to the router... and then plug in my Airport Express and my Blu-ray player to it and have everything work. No such luck. For an uncomplicated Mac user this is very frustrating! Can someone PLEASE help... THANKS!

I'm assuming that you have a requirement to support wireless clients on your network ... correct? If so, to provide for both wireless and wired (like the LG), you will need a wireless router that has a built in Ethernet switch ... like the AirPort Extreme. However, this router does not have to be an AirPort and could be provided by a number of networking vendors, like Belkin, D-Link, Linksys & Netgear (to name just a few.)

I purchased both the apple tv and VGA connections for my iPad so I can mirror/project this image onto my television. When I purchased both of these items from the store, I was told it would support this feature. Is there anything in development to allow me to mirror the image or connect it via the VGA connector to my television?

How can I get my new ipod to connect to wifi? I have been trying for about a week, but it would not.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I am trying to burn videos to blu-ray DVD

Hi, I am trying to burn videos to blu-ray DVD, but unfortunately Encore is no longer available. How do I burn DVDs with the software currently available, which software do you recommend, and is there a link to show me how to use the software? Thanks a lot!

You need Encore CS6 which is bundled with Premiere Pro CS6.
There is no Encore CC so you must install Premiere Pro CS6 in order to get Encore CS6.
Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud

I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive.

I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive. What is the best way to burn a BluRay disk? I read about TOAST etc but they are getting bad reviews. What software is the best? Im running mountain lion of course. Anyone know of good software to burn this type of disk that ACTUALLY works?

Okay, a couple of things:
I still use (mostly) an old version of iMovie because it was/is the only version which will process footage losslessly. However, the newer versions are okay - just do not use the automatic share option, but use the export to quicktime option where you have many options as to quality, size, etc:
You will wind up with a .mov file you can drag into Toast to burn (or iDVD to add menus and burn). If in iDVD, you can either burn directly (but not bluray) or make a VIDEO_TS folder which can be dragged into Toast - I also use that if I want to keep a copy to burn later as it has all the necessary files so you can ditch or archive all your clips, etc.

Getting your new Kindle to connect to HH4

Hi
Just thought I'd throw in some help for any frustrated folk out ther who can not get their shiny new Kindle to connect to their Home Hub.
I had a frustrating Saturday morning trying to get my new Kindle Paperwhite to connect . .
Oooh, it has WPS push button connection . . . so does HH4 . . . lets try it . . . nope!!
OK, let's enter the wireless pass key . . . . nope.
The Advanced menu . . nope. . . ended up sneding it back as their "help" line said so . .
I tried again today with the new one . . . same problem.
I rest the HH4 back to factory settings . . . hmm, worse as my old KIndle is now lost . .
Had to enter all the DNS/IP/router stuff by hand . .
I then wondered, surely you must beable to do this on the new Kindle?
It looks like a static "Advanced" page but carefull scrutiny will show you there is a small slider on the right hand side and so you can scroll down and find all the gaps to complete the set up by hand, tedious but it works - you may have to use another PC to find all the DNS/router IP/IP adresses but it does work . . .
Hope that helps!

At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

Trying to get the New Rascal Flatts Album....

I have been trying to get the new Rascal Flatts Album (Unstoppable) using the complete my album feature. I bought the four singles from the countdown to the album thing. When I go to my "Complete My Albums" page, it doesn't show up there. I went to the album main page and clicked "Buy Album." I confirm I wanna buy the album and a pop-up window comes up saying I have bought 4 songs previously that meet the requirements for the "Complete My Album." I click complete my album, but it does NOT download ANYTHING!
I don't want to pay $4 more to get the album. I was told that I could buy it for $7 TODAY using this feature as long as I bought the four singles. I did buy them and I don't really wanna go through and buy them yet again.

Presuming you're using the latest version of iTunes (if not, you might try updating), contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

I am trying to get my new Time Capsule to be recognized on my Air Port Utility on an Imac.

I am trying to get my new Time Capsule to be recognized on my Air Port Utility on an Imac.

It has to flash rapidly .. not the normal flashing which is slow.
Are you holding in reset and actually feeling it switch on.. and keep holding it until the LED goes crazy and flashes really fast.
If that is not working your TC is faulty.. I suggest you take it to Apple for testing.

Trying to get my apple laptop to connect to wireless network

I have an Airport Express (AE) and have successfully set up a wireless network in which 3 other computers (my work laptop, my wife's work laptop, mother-in-law's laptop) are all able to connect to this wireless network.
However, I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my apple laptop to connect to the same wireless network.
I'd really like to unchain our apple laptop from my office.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions forum EdmundF.
Doesn't your home network name appear in your Airport menulet?

How to get lg BE14NU40 blue ray burner to work with fcp or compressor

how to get LG BE14NU40 Blue Ray Burner to work with FCP X or Compressor??

Hello Ron,
First up, you don't have to use Compressor to burn a Bluray Disc.
FCP X can do this with it's own built-in software. Compressor of course can do the job.
In my experience some burners work and some don't.
I use an the older version of this burner:

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

TS3274 When sending a photo by email, the receiver gets the photo upside down. Why is this and what can I do to correct the error please?

When sending a photo from my iPad with an email, the receiver gets the photo upside down. Why is this and what can I do to correct the error please?

I venture to say the recipient is a Windoze user and if so, state of the art Windoze ignores or doesn't recognize photo orientation data that is included with a photo's EXIF data.
There are 3rd party photo viewing apps that provide for this but not incorporated with Microsoft software.
