Using a PB via FW for movies?

Is it possible to use my PowerBook in FW mode to watch movies, rather than having a floating window in Logic? Any special instructions if so?

You can use the 27-inch iMac as a display for your Late 2011 MacBook Pro without any problem. Just buy a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (the iMac won't detect Thunderbolt cables) and connect it to the Mini DisplayPort of your iMac and the Thunderbolt port of the MacBook Pro. Then, press Command and F2 keys on the iMac and your iMac will be detected as a display for the MacBook Pro

  • Why can't the APPLE TV use AIRPLAY SPEAKER-OUT for movies/videos?

    I can't find one good explanation on why the Apple TV can't use the Airplay Speaker-Out for Movies/Video content; only for audio/music. Does anyone have any insight into this?
    For example, I have a video on my Macbook Pro (or my iPad or my iPhone) and I can stream the video via the Airport Express to my 2nd gen Apple TV, but I can't stream the audio of this video from my Apple TV back to the Airport Express and the speakers attached to it. If I had digital speakers connected to the Apple TV I assume it wouldn't be an issue, but at the moment, I only have analog speakers connected to the Airport Express... and I CAN do this with music only content, but then it becomes silly because in that case, I can just as easily stream music directly to the Airport Express from my chosen device (iPhone, et al.) without going through the Apple TV, but for video/movies, you need the Apple TV for the video; yet you can't use the Speaker-Out for the audio of that video and it just doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something...
    Any help is greatly appreciated (a google search came up with nothing useful at all.)

    It's not a flippant answer, no-one here will know for sure why Apple have chosen to do this. So in light of the fact that you won't get a definitive answer here, I suspect it doesn't matter because you aren't going to change anything, you just need to accept it.
    FWIW, I don't think licensing issues have anything to do with it. I think Apple expect you to have a sound system connected by either HDMI or optical and on that basis any connection via an airport express would be in another room and why would someone in another room want to listen to a movie without being able to see it.
    Apple differentiate themselves from others by providing features that everyone wants, they don't cripple their creativity by catering for the few like other companies. I'm sorry but I suspect you are one of the few here.

  • BAPI to reverse Goods Issue for movement type 601

    Hi Everyone,
    Does anyone know of any BAPI that could be use to reverse Goods Issue for Movement type 601?
    I tried using BDC of transaction VL09 and was able to reverse the GI document successfully but the return message type was 'E' with unreadable message -
    Tabelle 'E' enth#t keinen Eintrag f# 'Ch 004 &'
    When I tried using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CANCEL, I get the error message 'E M7 130 Material document cannot be processed'.
    Best Regards,
    Junwen

    hi, Junwen!
    the following code works pretty well:
          fp_vbeln = vbeln_val.
          fp_budat = budat_val.
          fp_tcode = 'VL09'.
          fp_vbtyp = 'J'.
          CALL FUNCTION 'WS_REVERSE_GOODS_ISSUE'
            EXPORTING
              i_vbeln                         = fp_vbeln
              i_budat                         = fp_budat
            I_COUNT                         =
            I_MBLNR                         =
              i_tcode                         = fp_tcode
              i_vbtyp                         = fp_vbtyp
            TABLES
              t_mesg                          = it_mesg
           EXCEPTIONS
             error_reverse_goods_issue       = 1
             OTHERS                          = 2.
    luck.

  • How would I Set up an External Hard-drive for movies to share with AppleTV? and Also can I use the internal Itunes Library to the Ext HD1 then Ext HD2?

    I have tried to set up an external HD but after following the directions the movies in Apple TV ( My Movies) showed a film strip with the note the location could not be found. I deleted the movie content under the internal movies in Itunes. I did notice a blue dot vs a grey dot net to the name of the movie. I appreciate if someone could poitn me to the correct step by step procedures.  I would like to setup more than one Ext HD, as Ext HD1, Ext HD2 etc storing my movie collection. Any suggestions if the latest in ITUNES 10.5.2 and the AppleTV 1st and a 2nd generation are being used. 

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies?

    I m Using MacBook Air and APT 160
    I have three questions:
    1- Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies I need the space in my MacBook Air? If yes please tell me how?
    2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
    3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
    Thanks

    No, it is not a storage solution as if you need to get the things off it you can't. If you deete things from iTunes they'll delete at the next sync. Provided you have backup copie on an external drive or CD/DVD, you could delete the actual file from the Finder leaving the database entry in iTunes - in this way you free space on the laptop but files stay on AppleTV.
    An alternative would be to change itunes Preferences (Advanced tab) not to import into the library, then for things you don't want on the Macbook Air, have them on external drive, drag and drop to itunes, sync, then disconnect drive for portable use. Again when the files aren't available they won't be deleted, unless you delete the itunes database reference.
    2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
    n is faster.
    3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
    Your options are basically small portable drives most of which are USB powered (though may require powered hubs if you have a hub) or larger desktop externals requiring power adapter and more space.
    For value the desktop externals give more capacity per pound/dollar, and will also have bigger capacity maximums at a given time (bigger and bigger capacity discs being developed all the time).
    Try and work out the capacity/pro
    ice point and if a portable might be useful, then you have a variety of option.
    Peronally I like Western Digital, Seagate and Freecom models, but they're all fairly good these days, and even popular brands can fail. I avoid Maxtor and IBM/Hitachi having had failures in the past, but all drives eventually fail.

  • No sound when using Airplay for Movies on Apple TV

    For reasons unknow, when I try to stream full length movies (Lion King and Nemo bought from iTunes) from my iPhone or Macbook Pro using Airplay, there is no sound.  When I stream smaller movies, like Boundin' the Pixar Short, there is no problem.
    Side note 1: Why do purchased movies not show up like purchased TV shows on Apple TV?  I feel like I shouldn't have to use Airplay for movies if I don't need to use it for TV shows I buy.
    Side note 2: For some Netflix movies played directly from Apple TV there is no sound.  Other movies work fine and the movies that work or don't work seem to change day to day.
    Thanks for your help.

    Apple has not negotiated the rights to allow this is the assumed reason.

  • Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

    Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't.  If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

    Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
    The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
    AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
    A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
    That is all.
    Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

  • Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    I wish life was that easy :-).
    You have a valid argument; So I had this kind of test going. I had 50,000 messages of
    type-1 first loaded into the queue. Then I had 100 messages of type-2 loaded on to the
    queue.
    At this point, I issued a conditional dequeue that skipped type-1 messages and only
    asked for type-2 messages. I saw the full table scan.
    Then I created another test case 1 million type-1 messages had to be skipped.
    Still full table scans. I am not convinced that the doing full table scans is the best query
    plan out there. Cost Based Optimizer tends to disagree for some reason. May be
    it is right; But I have to avoid FTS when possible. As you know, not only blocks
    used by the existing rows in the table get scanned, but also every block until the
    high water mark level.
    One might say for a table with volatile data that comes and goes on a daily basis, million is an extreme case. Howvere, I am building a general purpose infrastructure based
    on AQ and cannot rule out consumers who misbehave.
    Are there better ways to handle multiple types of consumers on a single physical queue ? I need to be able dequeue specific consumer types if necessary, and this has to be
    done in a performant manner.
    Other alternatives I can think are
    1. Using a multi consumer queue such that there is one subscriber for each message
    type. Use multiple agent sets in a listen method to listen to messages and then
    control what agents we pass into listen method.
    Any pattern suggestions welcome.
    Thanks

  • I have a late 2009 iMac, with a Nvidia 9400 Graphics card.  I was wondering what my options are for upgrading.  I use Windows 7 via Bootcamp, so I need a card that is compatible.

    I have a late 2009 iMac, with the default Nvidia 9400 Graphics card.
    I was wondering what my options are for upgrading.  I use Windows 7 via Bootcamp, so I need a card that is compatible/has available drivers.
    This is for gaming. On the lowest settings of "Call of Duty 4", I get about 100 FPS... Was hoping to be able to play on higher resolution w/o the fps lag.
    I'm not good with the hardware part of computers at all, but know how to get around the OS.

    In most cases the graphics cards in iMacs are Not upgradeable.  They are usually soldered to the logic board.  RAM is considered, along with harddrives, the only component that is upgradeable in an iMac, unlike in PC's.  So basically you would need to sell your unit and purchase an iMac with a more powerful graphics card.
    Hope this helps
