What Download Speed Do I Need to View HD Movies?

What download speed do I need to view HD movies on Apple TV?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

What upload speed do I need to upload the XL photo books with over 25 pages?

I have just recently gotten a new Internet provider and the max upload speed I can get is 1mbps but I am only getting .4 mbps at the most. When trying to upload an XL photo book with over 26 pages it keeps failing to transfer/upload and the error message says to check the internet connection. I'm wondering what upload speed I need to upload? I need to cancel this internet provider before my free month runs out if 1mbps is not going to be fast enough.

Well I have my first order coming in tomorrow (according to Fedex) and I have my fingers crossed.
So far I haven't been able to find any local printers that will print and bind the books at a reasonable cost - best I've found so far is $200 (or more) per book.
Hardly cost effective for my relatively meager budget.
I've explored Asuka a littoe more, and their quality does appear to be superior at first glance, but it seems I am not able to take advantage of submitting my aperture-generated book directly. According to their templates I have to put everything together manually in Photohop. Great for end-control, but one thing that made me pursue this was the ability to generate a book inside Aperture using versions direct from collection (any changes I made to an original image were automatically incorporated in my book. Had I done it all manually, teh time/effort I'd be putting into the book with be well over 5x greater!
I've also looked at shutterfly.com so far - and they seem promising, and am wiating for my colleagues order to go through before I get too excited.
Either way, I hope to have my first printing this week - I'll keep ya posted!

What extra equipment do I need to play purchased movies from itunes on my tv?

What extra equipment is needed to play itunes purchased movies to the tv?

A couple of options, but both assume you have a TV with an HDMI port:
Purchase a VGA Adapater and plug the iPad into the TV's HDMI port. $49 US, not inlcuding the HDMI cable
Purchase an AppleTV. A bit more expensive than the cables, but provides quite a bit more functionaility (including the ability to view purchased movies without the iPad). Runs $99 US. Also allows for using AirPlay
There are some third party devices (BlueRay players, for example) that support AirPlay, but probably more cost than you want to get into.

what adobe software do i need on my kindle hd to watch tv and movies

Hi C\'s Kindle,
The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player. Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

Trying to stream movies on tv - What Verizon speed do I need?

Currently have Brighthouse Lightning. When I try to stream tv shows, they are blurry and service very slow. I was told by the company I bought the box from that this is due to low speed.
Brighthouse rep came and gave me new modem. Speed is about 60 download and 12 upload on computer. Brighthouse level 3 tech also adjusted settings on their end.
Wonder if I should switch to Verizon to be able to stream movies more efficiently?
Thanks

Dpends on several things:
Biggest is:
How many simultaneous users will be connected to your Internet at once?
If it is just you only streaming one at a time, 25M should be fine.
If you add more people and/or more streams, then you need to upgrade accordingly.

What app do I need to view/edit movies from Panasonic HDC SD90

I have this great camera and would like to import and edit in iMovie, but can't. I did a google search and found some free software, but my Mac does not let me open because it is and unidentified developer.

You can import directly into iMovie from this camera. The easiest way is to remove the SDHC card and put it in a USB card reader. You can also attach the camera via USB. In this case the camera must be also hooked up to AC power (not batteries only.)
iMovie should see the camera, but if it does not, click FILE/Import from Camera.
The one gotcha is you need to record in HA mode (1920x1080 interlaced, 17 Mbps).
If you record in 60P, iMovie cannot import it.
If your existing footage is 60P, and you really need super smooth slow motion, you might consider Final Cut Pro X, which will import 60P no problem, and allow you to edit the slow motion.
If your existing footage is 60P and you would like to convert it to 30P to use in iMovie, try either ClipWrap or Voltaic HD and convert your AVCHD to Apple Intermediate Codec at 30P. This will then import into iMovie through FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If you are adventurous and would consider hacking iMovie, here is a blog post you can try at your own risk. I have not done this myself.

What file format do I need to put a movie on my ipod?

I don't know how to get movies on my ipod. Do I have to use an imac? Does it have to be in mp4 format? Can it be QuickTime?

The compatible formats for videos for a Fifth Generation are either:
MP4, MOV, M4V, or protected MP4 (only found at the iTunes Store).
For instructions on syncing videos to your iPod, this lesson from iPod 101 might help:

AirPort slowing download speeds, from 99.6 mbps direct connect to 32 mbps through AirPort. Any ideas?

Has anyone experience their Airport slowing the download speeds?

You need to spell out the whole thing.

How are you measuring.. by wireless yes, you will experience some reduction.. maybe a lot depending on range of client and wireless type.. is this AC version or earlier airport? What is the link speed of the wireless.. and are multiple devices connected??
If this is purely ethernet, then something is wrong.. we need to know exactly what model airport you are talking about.. A1xxx from the side or base please??

Using 10.5 what flash version do I need.

Using 10.5.8 iMac G5. What version flash do I need to view BBC iplayer/

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer (using Safari), although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

Horrific Download Speed..will be returning AppleTV to Apple

Just bought and set-up ATV at home. Updated ATV out of the box to most recent software (??mistake) I have a gigabit wired network. All computers have 10mbs+ download speeds. Rented my first standard def movie. It has taken 2 hours to download 10% of the film. After reading these forums, it does not sound like there is a solution. My ISP is not throttling me. Everything else works fine.
Are there any recommendations other than to return to Apple and advise all others to avoid this product?

I use Rogers (north of Toronto) with 10meg down and 0.5meg up. I use http://www.speedtest.net/ to confirm my bandwidth. I consistently get 20-28ms pings, 9.7-9.85 Down, and .48-.50 upload speeds.
I have been using the AppleTV since Nov 2009. At first, I was experiencing slow downloads for movies. I checked my local network, and found my airport extreme router was connected to my modem at 100/Full. The rogers modem can only connect at 10/half and this caused the network problem. When I changed the aiport extreme connection (to the modem) to Automatic (now it connects at 10/half), the network problems went away. Since then I always get the bandwidth tests as noted above.
When I rent an SD movie on the AppleTV within 30 seconds I get a popup that I can start watching the movie. Normally I purchase TV shows on my iMac-iTunes and sync to the AppleTV. I get downloads from Apple at 1.0-1.2mBps.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.
