WD elements formated on Mac - can I get it work on smart tv?

Hi guys,  need your help please.  Formatted my WD on Mac, and downloaded some movies. I however when try to watch the movies, my smart tv can not detect any file in the device. Is this because the device is formatted from mac? Or the movie files format is *.mkv? thanksjo

Hello and welcome to the WD community.
In some cases Smart TVs do not see hard drives unless the drive is formatted in FAT32, However if the drive is visible on the TV, then make sure that the TV is able to play *.mkv files.

  • IPod Mini was formatted as "Mac," trying to get it working on PC w Windows

    Against my advice, my daughter just purchased a PC. It's an +HP Acer+, w +Windows Vista+.
    Her iPod Mini was *originally formatted* on my computer, an iMac, and all of her iTunes were loaded from this computer.
    However, she tried to get it formatted on her new PC. When she did ...from the installation disk that came w her new iPod Mini, and which said it could be formatted for PC and gave the steps to do so...it froze somewhere in the formatting process.
    Her computer froze and she could not turn it off. I told her to unplug from the wall outlet and re-boot. It worked and everything on the computer seems to be working.
    However, all of her tunes on her iPod are gone. (Quite a few, in the hundreds.)
    It would appear that the problem lies in trying to format and transfer tunes that originally came from a Mac-formatted iPod and tunes that came in from Mac iTunes.
    But that's just conjecture. I don't know what the problem is.
    Any thoughts? Advice?
    Thanks in advance

    Few points :-
    1. If you format an iPod (Restore to factory setting), it will erase all data on the iPod
    2. You should always go for iTunes to Restore the iPod instead of using the old version iPod updater.
    Try to download and install the latest version of Tunes and use to restore the iPod again
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    3. After finishing the Restore, your iPod (formatted now on a PC) will still able to read by your iMac (but not the other way round), do you update with your iMac (transfer back on the songs to the iPod).
    4. Installa 3rd party software on your PC, use it to copy the music from the iPod to the iTunes on the PC. Please do a Google search for the software, there are plenty

  • CS3 Mac can't get ACR working since Sno Leopard

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I had a range of problems.
    I fixed them for a bit; re loading CS3, updating CS3, ACR etc
    But then after I cropped  files I was getting error messages saying to install a printer (despite the Epson R288 working fine)
    So I tried re loading (after deactivating) and now I am going in circles trying to find the right ACR and DNG reader working.
    So; where are ACR updates for CS3 hid (CS4 is easy to find)
    WHere does DNG converter reside
    Thanks

    Yeah I think I had gone down that path which when you select camera raw Macintosh and you end up with Ver 5.5 for ACR and ditto for DNG converter; but these turn out to be for CS4 if you go down on the download page and see the system requirements.
    So I gave them another go, and found they don't work as it is the wrong PS version (CS3 not the CS4 these 5.5's are looking for)
    So went and put the version 4.6 ACR for CS3 in and so far so good.
    Thanks though, but Adobe have to confuse things by numbering ACR's in a cofused manner

    I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently.  Can I get my document with all my information back?

    I suggest the easy stuff first:
    1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
    2) reboot the computer
    After that try opening the same document in another user space

    The iPhone is not a backup device.
    Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
    Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
    As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it.

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
    Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

  • I have 2 itunes accounts - one work a/c and one home a/c, but when i sign in at home only my home songs appear even if I sign in my work a/c. I have authorised both computers to show both a/cs. How can I get my work a/c songs to appear at home?

    Hi,
    You will have to manually copy your music. Get a pen-drive big enough to accommodate all your music. And follow these steps:
    1. Create a new folder on the pen-drive.
    2. Copy the music from your work computer to the folder you just created. It's in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music if you're using a Mac, or in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music if you're using Windows.
    3. Now on your home computer quit iTunes, and copy your music from work to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media.
    4. Start iTunes. It will automatically start to process the files and move them to the appropriate place.
    Repeat these steps with your music from home on your work computer. Also I suggest to use only one iTunes account if possible.
    Hope it helps
    Regards,
    Gábor

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal
