When streaming a movie file, what setting do I use on firefox so that I can watch the same website movie later in the day without downloading it again? thanks.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with a download setting or adjusting the size of the cache?
Media files that are streamed are never saved on your computer.<br />
Flash video (.flv) files are played by a SWF video player that downloads the FLV file.

My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?
It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -
I have a IPHONE 4s 16 gb. I use a HP notebook PC running Vista 32 bit. My question is: What calender do I use on my PC that will sync easity with the IPHONE and the original IPAD 16 gb. I do not have outlook express.
Have a look at this article: Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7
iTunes has the ability to sync1 your contacts and calendars from Microsoft Outlook, and Windows Contacts (formerly Microsoft Address Book) to any iPod with a display screen.
The maximum supported number of contacts varies by iPod model.
Note: iTunes can sync vCards (.vcf) or Windows Contact (.contact) files, but only from one program at a time. If you sync from Outlook and then Windows Contact, your previous contacts will be overwritten. Outlook 2003 or later is required to sync contacts and calendars from Outlook. Windows 7 does not include Windows Contacts; Windows Contacts can be downloaded as part of Windows Live Essentials.
This article discusses how to sync contacts and calendars to iPod on Windows Vista. To learn how to sync contacts and calendars from Windows XP / 2000, go here. -
I'm new to this stuff
This seems to have changed lately. I just had 2.4GB free on my phone and noticed something strange. When I turned on "show all videos" and then "streamed" one of my films, I got a notice pop up telling me I was out of storage! I went into settings and looked in general > about and low and behold my 2.4 had gone down to 0. I then unchecked "show all videos" in video settings and bingo my storage popped back up to 2.4GB. I tried this on my iPad too with exactly the same results. It seems it doesn't truly stream the content, it background downloads a file that is hidden behind the GUI and plays from this file. We're tricked into thinking it's streaming because it starts playing right away but this is just because it's a file type that supports QuickStart, so the device doesn't have to wait for the file to complete before it can play.
This to me is a real shame as the big benefit for many would have been to play content over wifi that they have purchased but don't have on the device at the time due to space issues. Whether it's always been like this and nobody else has noticed, or if it's changed in the way it works lately I don't know.
True streaming from iTunes to iOS would be an awesome feature. Maybe apple don't want to give up the bandwidth on it's servers with a world of people streaming.
Discuss!

I am having trouble downloading a movie, I tried it 3 times and I still cannot get it.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Firefox crashed, when I tried to restart firefox the crash reporter dialogue box opens. Only 2 choices are offered, restart firefox and quit firefox. Neither option will work. I cannot quit firefox and when I opt to restart firefox the only thing I get is another dialogue box opening.

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?
Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv?
If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

What setting should be used to make the smallest size quicktime video file.
What setting should I use to make a small sized movie for my family that lives 1200 miles away. I am using the iSight with QT Pro 7.0.4 and will be emailing them via Apple Mail to my mom that uses the most current version of AOL for PC with a 1 Meg DSL connection. The reason I am emailing them is she does not have a camera to live chat.
The first movie I tried was over 4 meg and these files have to go over the internet. It bounced back saying it was to big. It was only a minute long.
Mac Mini 1.42 8X DVD+-RW Dual Layer 24X CD-RW 250 Gig Ministack Version 2 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Apple Bluetooth keyboard 19" Nec VGA CRT Flat Screen 1 Gig Memory iSightMake your recordings and then open the QuickTime movie.
Use the Share menu and choose the email small setting. You'll get an estimated file size in the dialog window.
Your viewers must have QuickTime 7 installed to view these files. -
When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?
No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on. -
Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.
You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display. I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities. It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction. -

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated Nothing on regular TV miss my Apple TV stuff !!!!Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

I can no longer read PDF files. The window opens and then disappears after a second or two. This began after the last Adobe update. I tried accepting the Adobe terms using Eula.exe but that disn't solve the problem. What do I do?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
-
I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
