Watching movies via usb on my Samsung HDTV (46C6300)

I have been watching movies on my TV by plugging in my flash drive and playing either mp3, mk4, avi, etc. When I try to do the same with My Passport USB 3.0 (for Mac), the machine reads the device, but doesn't read/find any of the movies that I have copied onto the Passport. What am I doing wrong? I was told that I could watch movies via My Passport in the same manner as with my "Cruzer Flash Drive". Can someone help? My husband is getting pretty upset that I do not have this up and running yet. Any help is gratefully appreciated!!!
Thank you!

Will this cable work for watching movies from my laptop in my HDTV?

Does anyone know if this works, I want to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable http://bit.ly/6BT6W3 to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony LCD HDTV via HDMI to watch movies from my laptop in my TV? I read that there were problems with the audio using the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

In order to watch Netflix on your Netflix enabled device you will need a computer with internet access, an internet connection for the device itself, and a Netflix subscription.
Open your preferred web browser on your computer and navigate to www.netflix.com
Log into your acct if necessary and click "Your acct & Help" on the upper right hand side of the page
Scroll down the page until you reach the "Watching Instantly on your TV or computer" section and click the link for"Activate a Netflix ready device"
On the device itself, navigate to the Netflix App (location will vary based upon model-please see your manual for specifics)
After launching the app for the first time, you will be asked if you have a Netflix acct. When you answer "Yes", you will be given an authentication code that you will then need to enter on the page you should now be at on your computer.
Click the "Activate" button after entering the code on the "Activate your Device" screen from your computer.
Netflix will now link your device and your acct; you will see a confirmation message on your computer when successful. You should now be viewing your Netflix home screen on your device. Select a title to begin streaming.

Though I'm not entirely sure that is necessary on the iOS Netflix App.

Since updating to 10.9.2 iTunes starts automatically when watching movies via Safari, that annoys

Hi
since the most recent update, iTunes starts automatically. I can quit iTunes at least 10 times since it finally stops to launch.
Any idea, why?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your helpful hint, but unfortunatly it did not solve the problem. I know, its rather difficult to explain:
I use the same order on MacBook Pro & Mac Mini (sorted by name in descending order). Both display the photos in iphoto correct as follows:
"20111009 London
20111008 Festival
20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip"
But on apple tv 2 - only when using the Mac Mini as the source - the order is wrong like this (on apple tv 2):
"20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip
20111008 Festival
20111009 London"
Using my MacBook Pro as source for the apple tv 2: everything is fine, the sort order on my apple tv 2 is correct. I imported "20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" both after the update to iOS5, when I returned from London. I updated my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my apple tv 2 (ios5, iphoto 9.2 and iTunes 10.5).
I did another test and changed the sort order on the Mac Mini to be sorted by date and in ascending order. This had no effect to the way the photos are displayed on apple tv 2. The photos are still displayed wrong as described above ("20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" are put to the very end). It seems, as if apple tv 2 does simple ignore the sort order given by Mac Mini. On apple tv 2 I have to scroll down to the very end to watch my Festival photos and my London photos.
I have two apple tv 2 and the problem is just the same. This is why I thought it might be a problem of my Mac Minis iphoto library or the way it is transmitted via iTunes.

Watching movies via icloud

How are you trying to watch them ? You've clicked on them to download them ?

How to get and watch movies?

Hi,
I don't know how to get movies or watch movies via iPad 2 or is it even possible?

If the Vantaa that you are in is in Finland then you can only get 'short films' from the Apple iTunes store in your country (according to this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599). And as the terms of use of the stores state that you cannot use another country's store, then unfortunately you won't be able to get full movies from Apple - whether the reason that they are not available in Finland is due to your country's laws and/or licensing issues I don't know.
There might be other download sites where you can purchase films that are compatible with the iPad, but as I don't use any I can't name any.

Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc. Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files. I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable. She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem. We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver. Everything works fine when watching movies. When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound. Has this happened to anyone else?

Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.
psoon, here's a link to the iPad community:

I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC. Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB. 1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio. Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community? Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

IMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), possible?

iMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), is it possible with Lion?

Actually, Plex does the best job by placing a black background to the internal iMac screen it's called Blanking.
However that does not turn off the backlit which is very bright on the iMac 24" also the internal screen will draw more power that way. As you probably know running bootcamp you can turn off the internal screen while watching a movie on the external. This isn't a hardware limitation, I hope Lion has this feature.

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.

Samsung SF-565P via USB & APE

Hi,
I would like to use my Samsung SF-565P (MFP 560-Series) with Leopard. The printer is currently connected to the APE via USB and works perfectly under Windows Vista, but I get an error page printed when trying to print under Mac OS X Leopard (all available updates installed).
The printed error page says:
INTERNAL ERROR - FALSE
POSITION : 0x3c2cb3 (3943603)
SYSTEM : H6FW/xl_image
LINE : 476
VERSION : QPDL 1.21 10-29-2003
I get this error when trying to print a test-page.
The test-page is printed correctly when I attach the printer directly via USB to my Mac.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Sven

Update: I called Apple Support today and they told me, that the Samsung driver is totally outdated (2004). I am lucky that it works via direct USB at all.
I would really like to update the driver, but... there is no newer driver?!
Samsung support is totally useless. They keep replying my mails with texts that say "Don't disturb, we are playing solitaire and have no time for support." - just in a more diplomatic way.
So what to do now? Throw away the $400 printer, ignore Samsung for the rest of my life and get a new printer with leopard support? sigh

When I connect my IPAd 2 to my desktop pc via usb cable desktop opens import photo screen. I am trying to copy/move downloaded files from my PC to Ipad 2. How do I correct this issue? Tx.

When I connect my Ipad 2 to my desktop (via USB) import photos screen open on desktop. I am trying to coppy/move files from desktop to Ipad 2. Import photos come up with import error and I cannot do anything else. How do you correct this issue? Tx. New user.

Actually, you can get photos onto an ipad from a PC. Connect them via USB (or wireless sync if you have that set up), go to the photos tab in iTunes, I don't have iTunes in front of me but there will be an option to sync photos from a folder on the PC to the iPad. You can choose an existing folder or make a new folder specifically for this purpose. Put the photos in said folder and then sync.
The photos from that folder will be transferred to your iPad

When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

I'm having the same problem. It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off. I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works. When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there. I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off. Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!
