Trying to stream videos just spool and never play
Hi,
Like most people, my Apple TV (2) used to work fine and then after the latest updates (and an apparent lack of software testing by Apple before they release it nowadays) it has become next to useless.
My Home Sharing is all turned on, firewalls off, etc (I'm not an amatuer) and I can see my music, movies, TV programmes and everything else BUT if I try to watch or listen to anything I just get the rotating asterix in the middle of the screen and it never plays.
Anyone - please help or it's going to have to go back.
The problem here is that real Audiobooks (such as those you download from iTunes or Audible) are specially formatted to support audiobook features like chapters, resuming playback at the correct place, etc. When you rip a CD, iTunes can't tell if it is an audiobook or music and defaults to treating it as music.
The solution for Mac users is an application called AudioBook Builder (http://www.splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/). It's a little $10 app that correctly organizes and tags audiobooks and converts audiobook CDs into "real" audiobooks for iPod. Highly recommended, this thing is worth it after one book.
There is probably a similar solution for Windows, but I don't use that, sorry.

# Question
I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.
Joel E. Pittenger cell: 314-724-8820That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -
I am trying to stream video from iTunes store for the last 2 days and all I get is the message "iTunes store is unavailable. Try again later." I have tried turning it off, unplugging all cords, restarting it, reseting it, restoring it, and signing in and out again. Netflix works, but iTunes seems to be bugging out. If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

What you are experiencing is 100% related to Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

For 2 days, firefox just "loads" and never opens. Intermittent.
OK> Yesterday, and today, from time to time, when I try to open Firefox, including Facebook, it just loads and never opens.
This was shortly after I clicked on the new version which Firefox suggested I download.You are experiencing a firefox [[Firefox hangs|hang]]. This could be caused by hyperthreading:
# Right-click the shortcut icon you use to start Firefox.
# Select Properties.
# Select the Compatibility icon.
# Select Run this program in compatibility mode.
# In the drop-down for compatibility mode, select Windows 98/Windows ME.
# Click OK.
# Restart Firefox to see if the hanging has gone away.
This also could be caused by a messy profile. Try running firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] and let us know if that helps. -
How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?
I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?
Horsepower0171.Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF?
Hi
Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF? I want to do a PowerPoint/Keynote presentation that includes videos from YouTube. My preference is use Keynote although I do have Office 2004.
My issue is that the places where we present have their own equipment so we are encouraged to bring the presentation on a USB/portable HD, and they tend to be Windows environments.
In my perfect (ignorant) world, I'd
Create it in Keynote
Add/embed videos from YouTube
Save it as a multi platform file like a PDF
I guess the key issue is:
Is there a way to create a multi platform presentation with videos (I think Keynote and PPT require different video formats???) that can be carried on USB/portable HD?
ThanksNo, it's not possible without using hacks. And Adobe can't support or endorse hacks
Bear in mind that not only there are new features in a new version which can't possibly be recreated by an older version - also, there are enhancements to existing features, which would make them render differently in the two versions.
That said, there are people posting such hacks, as Sébastien pointed out. -
My buttons arent working and my screen is just black and its playing music, help me!!
my buttons arent working and my screen is just black and its playing music, help me!!
Hello yung_jvyden,
So your iPhone is on or it wouldn't be playing music yet you can't seem to "wake it up" as the buttons aren't responding.
There's a section in this article for buttons not responding.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
Note it links to
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?
You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?
At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Hi,
I start to use iChat, Ican chat normally, but when I tried to make an video call with my friend, it doesn't work.
I send the invite, and than my webcam turns on and a window is open, when i see my face, and start loading and i can't connect with my friend, it load eternally and never works, when i try, the results are always the same. I have an MacBook Pro...How can I fix this?HI,
iChat uses different internet ports to do different tasks.
If you have the Mac Firewall On then this should allow the ports the app is Using on an Incoming basis.
These same ports also need to be allowed in your router.
If the device has it use UPnP if you can.
This allows the app to state which ports it wants to use and also for multiple devices to use the same ports.
(It is needed for iChat Screen Sharing that involves a random port that cannot be opened in other methods)
Can you also open the Connection Doctor (Video Menu of iChat) and say what it says on each tab ?

Any video that is viewable on the internet(youtube, flash, etc.) does not play in Firefox. The video is shown and everything but when I click it the audio begins playing normally and the actual video itself skips horribly and my computer begins to freeze up.
