Watching some movies the other night and my MacBookPro started humming like the disk drive was running, but ther was nothing in the disk drive. Was I being hacked and is my financial info doomed? doomed?

On a MacBookPro useing ox 10.6 It sonded like my hard drive was spining like a disk drive. Disk drive was empty. Was I being hacked? Also the next day time machine asked where to "back up" as ther was no choises available. It has never asked that before.

You were probably hearing the cooling fans speeding up to dissipate the extra heat produced by displaying movies for an extended time.
We would need more information to figure out why you were asked about where to back up. Was your backup hard drive connected to the computer and turned on at the time?

If you look in iTunes the movie sizes are listed - they are same whether purchased or rented.
However if you stop and restart/rewind the Apple Tv may in certain circumstances download the stream again.
Fine on a fast unlimited connection but wasteful and potentially annoying if not.
In general SD 1-1.5GB
720p HD 3-4GB
1080p 3-6GB
Some features (animation) will compress better and clearly a 150 min film will need more bandwidth than a 90 min one.

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

HT1657 Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and it just stopped, thought it was a low battery but even after charging itbto 100% the movie won't play anymore. It shows the movie chapters but says the movie content can't be played. Please advjise

Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and the movie stopped playing, I thought it was because of a low battery but even after charging the battery to 100% it still won't play. I can bring up the movie & all the chapters but when I press play it says movie content can not be played. Please advise. Thanks!

I am having almost the same problem, with the same OS, iTunes versions, and kids waiting to watch their favorite movie (Frozen). I am (trying) to play the content on the computer, and hooked up to Vizio TV and external stereo.
The video will display on the TV, but the audio will only play through the laptop. The movie will still play with both audio and video on the laptop.
In researching this morning, it seems that i need to purchase a new TV and stereo that are HDCP "compliant" (NOT just compatible). Folks are also complaining that the same "won't play" issues directly on Mac hardware.
I could not find any current software workarounds or patches (Apple seems silent on this as a "problem").
Upgrading hardware is insulting and (frankly) impossible. Why should I get new hardware that works perfectly well?
I was going to get an Apple TV for Christmas, although not if new products cannot be used with my current hardware. I would rather go back to all Microsoft hardware and software than constantly deal with troubleshooting Apple hardware and software.
I'm going to uninstall iTunes v 12 and reinstall v 11 to see if that works.
Please post if there is a solution!

I have rented a movie on iTunes and saw it downloading. Where is it now?? I have looked under videos, as someone suggested, but there is nothing there and no "rentals" tab - or any other tabs to choose.

I have rented a movie from iTunes but where is it now? I have looked under videos,as someone suggested, but there is nothing there and no tabs to choose.

It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

I just started have this same/simmilar issue to. Was there a solution to the original question? I have 2 ATVs. One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out. Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net). Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

consider usage of a diff. editor.. iMovieHD6, you're entitled for a free downlaod at apple.com:

consider the free tool Mpeg Streamclip www.squared5.com for 'chopping' that 90min beast into pieces..
rename these new chunks, follow advice given on my site:

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

I found a solution !!!
The problem is that the font SEGOE UI MAGER (one of the fonts) is not installed.
When you go on this link, you can download the missing font !
http://fontzone.net/font-details/Segoe+UI/
download this, open it and go on install !
Then you open your Itunes and your Text is there again. Maybe its a little bit to big but, its there !!!
Wish you a nice day !! :-D

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.
