Watching Movies & Battery
Ok so I use my iPod (30G) to watch movies. When I am watching a movie the iPod will not charge for some reason while it is both plugged into the TV thru the AV cables and also plugged into the wall. Any reason why? This is a pain because most movies play longer than the 1.5 hours of battery life my iPod has. Is this a bug of some kind?
I'm of no help.
All I can say of the iPod classic 160GB is that it's pretty awesome on battery life and movies. To give you an idea, I can play just about 6 hours worth of movies (mp4 encoded) on my iPod. I take the train everyday to the city and it's an hour there and an hour back. My iPod will last me 3 days without my recharging it. However, the caveat, I'll leave it plugged in on Sunday night to get it fully charged as opposed to only 80% charged.
Like I said. I'm really of no help with your iPod (30G). But I did want to relate my experience with the iPod classic since this is an iPod classic thread.

I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?
That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi. -
Screen goes of during watching movie
During watching movie the screen goes off (black) after x amount of time, just as when im doing nothing. This is terribly annoying when watching a movie,, what can i do about it??
this is what i do for movies--
click on the battery icon on the top right hand corner of the computer and go to "open energy saver". then create a custom battery setting so that the screen doesnt dim for x amount of hours or whatever. just use that custom setting when watching a movie. -

When I first attached a cable from iphone6 to hdmi on tv, I was able to read kindle on tv. After watching movies and playing Pandora from iphone to tv through the cable, I can no longer read kindle through it. What settings do I need to change?
Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.
Regards.

I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks
Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

I have an older Macbook pro with a dvi output and I want to watch movies on my tv. I have a dvi to hdmi cable but the only image I get on my TV is my desktop background. None of my movie players with appear on the TV screen. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same. -
Connecting MacBook to TV to watch movies
I am wanting to connect my MacBook to my television but not sure what cable(s) to buy to be able to watch movies on my TV. It's not for HD, just a standard tv. Im not sure which MacBook model i have, all i know its the model before they introduced the aluminium model. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks guys!
My tv in the living room only has scart and the three colours (Red, Yellow, White).. Its pretty old.. hopefully get a new one soon :P.. but the one in my room has S-Video.. Is there a big different in video/audio quality between the two? If so.. what's best? Is S-Video just for the picture and will i not need something else for sound?

What cable do I need to watch movies on my Sony HDTV LCD tv from MacBook pr
I have a brand new MacBook pro 13" and just wanted to watch movies on my tv instead of the laptop, thanks
Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support. -

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?
I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.
Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.
