Watch TV on Mac G4

Getting hooked up with bellsouth highspeed dsl and DirectTV this weekend.
Is there a way to connect DirectTV signal to Mac G4 (1.25GHz Power PC G4, OS 10.3.9) to see TV on nice Samsung flatscreen monitor?

I have a G5 connected to Direct TV with Elgato equipment and a converter box from Direct tv.

It all works great together.

    Yes, if the Apple TV is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your wireless router. You will still need to connect from the Apple TV to the TV using an HDMI cable. Not possible to send the signal via wireless directly to your TV.

    If you purchased them, you should be able to download them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519, as well as watch them on your Apple TV.  If you rented them on your iPad, you won't be able to transfer the rental to your other devices.  To do that you have to rent them in iTunes on your Mac.

  • Javascript Watch Folder in Mac?

    Hi Scripters,
    Need guide lines about Watch folder in mac platform for the InDesign automation.
    Thanks
    Karpanai

    Both of those posted links relate to 'mouse position'… I think Harbs posted them in the wrong thread…? What you have asked for does NOT exist… AppleScript can 'watch' a folder and has events such as 'on adding items' and 'on removing items' these events can trigger your script. JavaScript with the ESTK does not provide system level events for objects like File or Folder. You could create a script that is triggered by an AppleScript outer wrapper by using app.doScript()… The closest the CS Suite has is Bridge's scheduleTask()
    Personally I find AppleScript's 'Folder Action Scripts' tend to be a little flakey…

  • Watch movie from Mac Air to tv without AppleTV

    Can I use a Thunderbolt to hdmi cable to watch movies from my MacAir without having to go through AppleTV?  I have been successful getting the video to show up, but no audio was sent to my TV. 
    Thanks in advance

    I'm a Mac person.  That's the first thing I tried.  There is no setting other than internal speaker or Airplay via my netwrok.  It appears that this cannot be done and my Air is new this past summer.  Would have thought this would have been adressed.

  • Watch movie on Mac rented via TV

    Yesterday I rented a movie via TV. Now I want to watch it again on my Mac.
    Do I need to rent it again in iTunes? (I don't want to pay twice, so I ask before trying.)
    Thank you!

    you would need to rent it again, as you cannot move a rental on the appletv to any other device.

  • Photoshop 10 and watched folders on Mac

    Hello,
    I was a little disappointed with Photoshop 9 for Mac users that the watched folders feature that I found so useful on the Windows platform wasn't available. I understand this was due to a problem with the Mac OS which couldn't be rectified in time for the release.
    Is the watched folders feature available with Photoshop 10 for Mac?
    Thanks.

    This seems related.  At least my questions to Adobe brought me here.  I tried taking one photo from iPhoto and it brought all 8000 including all movies.  It then proceeded to make thumbnails for them, all without my asking.  Is there any adequate tutorial for Elements 10 that steers one around such pitfalls.  I have not used Photoshop before so perhaps it assumes all sorts of familiarity which i don't possess.  The Help doesn't seem very helpful.  Tutorial films work or don't work, seemingly on a whim.

  • I rented a movie and can't watch it on Mac,iPad, or Apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to let it fully download on the computer before it can be seen on the Apple TV.

  • Cant watch DVD on Mac since installing yosemite

    Since installing Yosemite I am unable to watch a DVD. It ejects after a few seconds.What am I doing wrong?

    Greetings lorraine84,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when you insert a disk into your iMac, it is automatically ejected. To help troubleshoot this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.
    Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support
    Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
    Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
    Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
    Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
    OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
    If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • How can i convert 3d movie into 2d to watch it in mac

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • Can't watch rental on Mac after watching it on ATV via Home Share

    A couple of times I've rented a movie from iTunes on my Macbook.  When my family wants to watch it, I turn on Home Sharing and am able to use our Apple TV to select my computer, go to the 'Rentals' folder and view the movie.
    However, when we've finished watching it, I can't view it on my Macbook anymore.  I get a 'Could not play the rental because it is authorized to play on another computer or device'.  Even if I turn off the Home Share and put the Apple TV to sleep, I still get this message.
    Since I'm not actually "transferring" the movie file from my laptop to the Apple TV, I'm confused as to why I can't watch it on my laptop after we've viewed it on the Apple TV.
    Renting movies is expensive, and you only get 24 hours to watch them.  This technical issue is really causing problems for me.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    Lots of new intermitant and odd network issues with the last two ATV updates.  I know this sounds weird and makes no sense, but if you are using WiFi switch to wired or if wired switch to WiFi.  It is too long winded to exmplain why.  Give it a try and see if it helps.

    No "what if."   No one here knows exactly what you really want to do legally or illegally.  Suggest that you re-read Apple's TOU which you agreed to.
    You would do better by doing a Google search for exactly what you want to do & the instructions to do so.  "Google is your friend."
