Use of purchased film connected to interactive whiteboard

Hi,
I bought a film from iTunes to play on my iPad in classroom as I'm a teacher. When I connected my iPad2 to the Hitachi interactive starboard I got a 'not authorised' and couldn't use it! Is there any way I can link properly so as to be able to connect to whiteboard using my iPad. (I can play the same film which is in my iTunes library if I link to my whiteboard using my macbook pro, so it seems to be a question of the connecting lead). Any advuce welcome! Thanks.

Yes sounds like you already know the answer. I'd contact Smart or whomever makes this whiteboards to see if they know about compatibility with the macmini's you use.
As far as being prone to freezing no I've not seen any long or lengthy threads about freezing or other such complaints around here so I don't think so.
I've had my mini for almost a year now and push it pretty hard and find it almost impossible to make it freeze,reboot,lockup or any such thing myself.

What connection-cable should I use to watch films from my iPod on my TV

What connection should I use to see films from my ipod on my tV?

Hi there sonofmyfather,
You can use the Apple Composite AV Cable if you want to connect your iPod Classic to your TV. Take a look at the product page below for more information.

I have a new I Pad air and I am trying to use it with a projector and a whiteboard, unfortunately the two are not connecting. Can anyone give me reasons why this might be happening.

You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

Can garageband be used with interactive whiteboards?

Hi:)
Does anyone know if the garageband software program can be used with an interactive whiteboard? I am doing an assignment on the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms and was hoping to include garageband as an example of a motivational software program that could become an even more effective learning tool when projected onto an interactive whiteboard for whole class input and discussion. I am having a lot of trouble however finding any evidence that garageband is compatible to use with interactive whiteboards, and would be very appreciative if anyone could refer me to websites or other resources that provide proof of compatibility (providing they are compatible of course!)
Thanks so much if anyone can help!!
Ariana

It's actually a hypothetical situation so there is no actual interactive whiteboard. If you know of evidence that shows that garageband can be used with a "smartboard" (if it is an interactive whiteboard), then that would be helpful as I could then reference it from that source to explain how it would be in reality. I just need concrete evidence that it is possible - it doesn't matter what brand of IWB it is.
Thanks

I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
YMMV

Mac Mini mouse freezes when connected to interactive white board

Our school district has several Mac Mini's (OS 10.4.11) connected to interactive white boards (Smart). With regularity the mouse and/or keyboards will "freeze", often in the lower left hand corner of the screen, and will only operate normally when the USB cord for the Smartboard is disconnected. Then all functions of the computer return. This effectively means that the interactive whiteboard is no longer useful. Has anyone else encountered these issues with Macminis? Could it be a software issue??
Additionally I have had constant problems with our Mac minis "freezing" in our computer lab when students are working on them. If they have several applications open this happens regularly. Are these machines prone to freezing?

Interactive Whiteboards and the Ipad

Hi there sports fans.
I work in a special needs school and the iPad is the way of the future... but, I need to be able to visually demonstrate iPad use through and interactive Whiteboard... So this is the crux of the question:
How can I use my **Interactive Whiteboard* to* show my Ipad screen and *control my Ipad?*
*please note... I do not want to control the whiteboard... that I can do already.
Thanks friends. let the educational revolution begin!

There are a number of options available. You can use Apple's iPad to VGA adaptor to connect the iPad to your IWB via a VGA cable. This will display your iPad on your IWB to model the activities to your students. This doesn't transmit sound from the iPad, you would have to use a 3.5 audio jack to your amp or sound setup to get the full experience.
The VGA adaptor is limiting in length but works great. Your second option is Apple TV. This will mirror your iPad to your IWB wirelessly. This uses Apple's Bonjour to communicate across your wireless network. You may have to enable multicast on your controller for this to work. Apple TV require a HDMI connection to your display. If your IWB projector does not have a HDMI input, then you can get a HDMI to VGA convertor to get it to work. Depending on your audio setup, you may need a DAC convertor to transmit the audio across wireless as well.
This is great and enables you to walk throughout the school (depending on the strenght of your wirelss network) and mirror directly to your IWB. This only works with the iPad 2 and new iPad. The iPad 1 will not mirror. The real value comes when you can ask the children to display their iPads on the IWB wirelessly from their desks to showcase their work. You can put a passcode on Apple TV to prevent this from happening without permission, or if you have multiple ATV's in the school.
The alternative wirless option is to use some software such as Reflection or AirServer. This software is installed on the PC or Laptop connected to the IWB. The iPad then uses the same method for Apple TV but goes to the computer beofre diplaying on the IWB.
AirServer offers the ability for mirror of up to 16 iPads at the same time. Brilliant for comparing work the children have done. AirServer is available on both a PC and Mac, although at present, only the Mac version mirrors audio and visual. I understand that a PC version is in development and will be updated soon.

Using external hard drive connected to desktop as time machine disk for laptop

I recently purchased an external hard drive for the purpose of backing up my laptop and desktop macs. Both are running Mountain Lion (10.7.5). The desktop is physically connected to both the hard drive and to my modem. I have enabled pretty much every sharing option on both the laptop and desktop. When my router crapped out I began just using the internet sharing capabiilty.
I have been able to chose the desktop as the disk for backing up my laptop, but I want to use the hard drive (connected to the desktop) as the disk. I cant figure out how to do this yet. I can easily access the hard drive by using either the "connect as user" option. I thought that perhaps I could broadcast the connection somehow as an airport connection, but I don't know how to, or if this is even possible.
The desktop is a mac mini, and the laptop is a macbook pro. Both were purchased in mid 2011.

This may assist you:

How can I display a slideshow from my Macbook pro on a projector using a nine pin connection?

I have prepared a slideshow that I would like to show to a group of people using a projector and screen. I know the projector uses a nine pin connection but I don't have anything like that on my MAC. Is there a connecting wire that I could purchase that would use the USB port, or any other and then fit the nine pin?
My Macbook Pro was purchased in the summer of 2012.
Thank you.

Dianita,
Normally you would need a mini dvi to VGA adapter. VGA is 15 pin connection, serial is 9 pin, are you certain about the pin count?
Check the projector pin count, as this would rather unusual. If you discover that you need a 15 pin, you can use the above mentioned adapter plugged into a standard VGA cable. Available at Apple store, or do a search online.

Mirroring with Apple TV to an Interactive Whiteboard

I'm using the latest gen Apple TV and want to mirror my MacBook Pro to an Interactive Whiteboard. It mirrors okay but I want the display output to almost fill the entire screen. The 2 choices don't give me any better options, is there a work around sop as to increase output size?

not unless the board like most tv's support streghing the image or zoom with chop top and bottom

Apple TV on Interactive Whiteboard with no sound?

Working in a school, iPads and Apple TV are a vital part of day to day lessons. We connect Apple TV to the HD projectors in each room for Airplaying purposes on the iPads. When it is mirroring on to the projector, and on to the Whiteboard, we can get a sound output from the audio of the projector itself, but not from the new speakers linked up to the Interactive Whiteboards. We have tried changing the audio output settings as there was no sound initially, and have been successful as far as getting sound coming from the projector. However the sound level is too low and quality is too poor compared to the new speakers attatced to the whiteboards.
I was wondering if there is any way to have the sound coming out of the new speakers rather than the projector so children can share their work they have created with good audio.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

When I connect the ATV to the receiver, (so the ATV is no longer connected to the tv), no matter what input setting I set for the receiver, the tv shows "No Signal" and of course, no sound of a movie track. The only way I see the movie is for the ATV to be connected to the HDMI3 jack on the tv, then I see the movie but no matter what I set the receiver input to I get no sound. Perhaps the receiver should be set to "multi-ch" but then I don't know how to select one of the supposed multi-channels. Does thaat make sense to you? It's Greek to me!!!

HT1600 how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared video so i can see it on apple tv

how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared videos so it links into apple tv

Well, it really depends on the file format your friends are using to send you the video. iTunes will only play certain formats, think of it as........having a car that only takes premium gasoline. If your friends give you a million gallons of regular gasoline, sure it's gasoline, but it won't work in your car. (That's a bad analogy but it's the best I can come up with).
So, if you open up your mail (are you using the Mail program on your computer, or going to a website such as gmail.com or yahoo.com to access your mail?), you should be able to right click the video and select to download it.
This should download it to your "downloads" folder, it should be on your dock if you didn't remove it. Click it, and select the "More in finder" button at the very top of the "stack". If not, click the "Finder" button on your dock, and on the left click the Downloads tab.
Now, you must find the video. It should have the name of the video with the extension (an example would be...... firstbirthday.mp4). The extension is the ".mp4" part. Yours may be .mov, .mp4, .mkv, .avi, the list goes on and on, but it's very important.
You can try dragging the movie into iTunes (drag it anywhere over where it says Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and it should hopefully turn to a little green bubble with +1. If the extension is not compatible, then, converting will be needed and that's a bit more tricky. It's also a little more tricky to get them to play on your Apple TV unless you use AirPlay.
Let us first know what extension these videos are in and we can go from there.

Using NIKON Slide/film scanner

I have found no suitable place to find answers to my questions about using a NIKON FIlm scanner to obtain digital photos.. Perhaps someone might make a useful suggestion??
I have had a NIKON SF-210 slide/film scanner now for a couple or three years. However, I only started using it heavily last Fall (2008) to scan my large archive of old family slides. Unfortunately, as time has passed, the software has become more and more unstable causing me to have to restart the whole process after scanning only a small number of slides. Sometimes, it will not scan even one slide before crashing. I read somewhere that this behavior may be due to the upgrades in Mac software. I've done, repeatedly, all of the usual things that I can think of like reloading the software, etc.
I can't get a response concerning this problem from anyone at NIKON and they don't have any Mac version upgrades to the scanner software on their web sites, and haven't for some time, perhaps a couple or three years. Does NIKON still support Mac products??
Can anyone tell me how to solve or to find the solution to this problem?
Thanks, Gramp

I am using the Nikon Coolscan V (LS-50ED) USB connection with:
intel MBP 15" (2.8Ghz)
OSX 10.6.2. (Snow Leopard)
I am just using the standard (on disc) Nikon Software upgraded to version 4.0.2 via internet. The app says it is a *Application (PowerPC)* under the info section, so I assume that it is running on Rosetta. (the Genious did my upgrade to 10.6 so I don't know if he installed Rosetta or not, but I assume so.)
Everything seems to be working fine (as this is my first experience with scanning slides and color correction). Was a synch to set up. I am not the Ace though. I have only been using the slide scanner and not the film scanner yet (though I am soon to try).
FYI there is a flickr group of nikon scanner users. I found some of them helpful too.

AppleId was not used to purchase Lion

Hi,
I am trying to reinstall my OS on my new MacBookPro 15" Retina display. Through the revovery process or Internet Recovery Process, I am asked for an AppleID. Once I enter my AppleID and Password, I get an error message. "This AppleID was not used to purchase Lion"
I am unable to proceed further with the reinstallation process. Kindly advise if this is an issue with the OS installation process or a local ISP issue?

Hi All,
I had the issue as reported earlier..It apparently seemed to be an issue with your local ISP that blocks the access to Mountain lion from App Store.
Try with different local ISP's and it should work.
In Singapore two local ISP's Starhub and SingTel have this blocked whilst it worked for me when i accessed Internet connection through M1 Service Provider..
See if that helps. I dont know where you are from Bend...
