Why doesn't Frontrow take the same video settings from QuickTime?

Hi,
I would like to play my video's in Frontrow. But when I do that, they aren't stretched on the entire screen. There are black sidebars. So I changed in Quicktime my settings for fullscreen, so the aspect-ratio from the video is equal to that from the screen. But it won't work in Frontrow. Someone knows the answer to this, because it's pretty important.

Front Row does use QuickTime to play videos, but it doesn't use the QuickTime Player directly. So, the QuickTime Player's preferences are not referenced. When playing DVDs, most DVD Player application preferences are ignored, but some are referenced. For example, if you change the DVD Player to use the digital optical audio of your computer, Front Row will use it the next time you play a DVD. So, it must be possible to get Front Row to look at some of the other preference files. I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback so they know you'd like to have more control over the video playback options in Front Row.

Since Virtru advertises full encryption with no need for recipient passwords, why doesn't Thunderbird do the same?

Virtru coming out with this "full encryption-no need for recipient to know a password", just clicks to affirm email address is correct. Works with Mozilla browser and email: Outlook, gmail, others.

Well, you have to ask Virtru why they don't provide an add-on for Thunderbird.
Thunderbird itself supports both cryptographically signing the message and encrypting it, based on the S/MIME. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Message_security this article] for details.

Why doesn't _xscale work the same as _yscale?

I have created a SWF that loads data dynamically from an ASP
page. It loads the FlashVars m_XWidth and m_YHeight . I declared
the Flash variables DynX and DynY and assigned the FlashVars to
them respectively (so far so good). BUT - when I say:
this.dynamic_mc._xscale = DynX;
this.dynamic_mc._yscale = DynY;
the _yscale variable posts out the correct value, but the
_xscale variable only posts out 100. the _xscale only works if I
give it a static value - as in this.dynamic_mc._xscale = 20;
Can anyone help?

OK - I figured it out - - When I sent the Flash Vars they
came through as &MyXML="data" &XWidth="data"
&YHeight="data". For some reason the space between each of the
variables was the problem:)

How to stream the same VIDEO from iTunes to multiple Apple TVs simultaneously?

I'm trying to stream the same video/movie from iTunes 10.5.2 under Mac OS X 10.7.2 to 2 Apple TVs simultaneously so that they are in sync. We have 2 TVs in our cafe and are trying to send the pre-service video announcements to both screen wirelessly.
Audio is no problem as I just choose the Multiple Speakers option on the AirPlay icon at the bottom right of iTunes. However, when I choose a video, the Multiple option is not available. I know I can go into the Apple TV menu and choose the video from my Mac that has Home Sharing activated but it is virtually impossible to get the videos synced on both screens.
Is there something I'm missing or is a 3rd party application available that will do this?
Please read what I'm trying to do carefully before responding.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Derek

I'm also struggling with this. I have a Mac Mini and 5 ATV2's that I want to stream video content to simultaneously.

Hello. The Youtube videos I placed in a site made in Muse, don't have sound and don't auto play in my Android phone. Can anyone tell me why? The same video has no problems when I watch it at the youtube site on my phone. It has sound on an iphone, but doesn't auto play either. Thanks!

Hi Mariana,
Please make sure you have the autoplay checkbox selected from the fly-out options:

When upgrading Flash 10.2 (Firefox at Version 3.6.14) Any Browser embedded videos run in a split screen (the same video in one screen only dual). Doesn't happen in IE. To fix I did a system rollback.

When upgrading to Flash 10.2 (Firefox is at Ver. 3.6.14, Windows XP), any embedded videos run like a split screen (The same video in one screen, dividing the screen into two running at the same time). This doesn't happen in IE.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

Why does watching YouTube videos in Firefox cause my video driver to crash, but I can watch the same video in IE8 without a problem?

For the past few days, I suddenly can't watch any YouTube videos in Firefox without having the video driver crash every few seconds. The screen freezes too, and I have a hard time getting my cursor to the "X" to close the tab. One time it was so bad my computer crashed and rebooted.
I am able to watch the same videos in Internet Explorer 8 without any problems. I am also able, as far as I know, to watch videos in Firefox on other sites like CNN.com without any problems.
My computer information below looks correct. It's a Gateway Model#MX6453, my video driver is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.

I fixed this by disabling hardware acceleration. YouTube videos seem to work fine now.
This link was provided in an other YouTube problem: Flash "Display settings" window:
[http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html]
I had to go to a site other than YouTube that had flash content (like a video on CNN.com), right-clicked on the flash video, selected "Settings" on the menu, then unchecked "Enable hardware acceleration" on the display tab. For good measure I closed Firefox and opened it again. Since then no more driver errors. (crosses fingers)

How do i delete multiple files of the same video in the "all videos" folder?

i am running out of space on my computer so i went to the "all movies" folder to see if there were items there i could get rid of. when i went i discovered that there were many instances of the same video being there as many as 4 or 5 times. why is that? i tried to delete them but they still remain. how can i single it down to just one file?

try the script (version 3) in this post,
Remember last folder location lost with Mac Lion updates

After backup, TM cannot eject itself automatically, and then both my mac and TM get high temperature. why is that, I had the same problem twice.

Are you saying, right now that the TM refuses to work even after a re-boot?
Is the light solid green at least?

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

Hello billwoodard11,
Thanks for the question. If your computer is not compatible with HD 1080p content, you should receive a prompt stating so - but should still be able to download the content for use on other devices. For more information, check out this resource:
Purchasing and viewing HD videos in iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201850
How to purchase, download, or view HD 1080p content
iTunes 10.6 by default is set to purchase, download, and playback HD content in 720p. You must change your local preference setting if you prefer to download, purchase, and playback HD content in 1080p. Depending on your computer's hardware configurations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or playback content in 1080p. iTunes may display the following dialog:
On Mac or PC
Download the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes for free.
From the iTunes menu, choose iTunes > Preferences > Store (for PC, choose Edit > Preferences > Store).
Next to "When downloading High Definition videos, prefer:" set your preference to 1080p1.
Click OK. Now, when you purchase or download HD content, your computer will always download in 1080p, when available.
Depending on your computer's hardware limitations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store. If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and support HDCP.

Why can't I take the photos off my phone manually?

I have an Iphone. I'd like to just take the photos, videos and audio off the phone and put in a folder on an external hard drive.
1. Why can't I do this through Finder?
2. Is there an easy solution?

1. There is no Finder on an iPhone. If you mean on your Mac, then you need to use iPhoto or Image Capture to export the photos from the iPhone to the computer. Once on the computer you can do whatever you want with them.
2. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture, or other image editing App on your Mac get the pictures.

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same id account

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same Apple ID .

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense without a little more information. You can't transfer a video from the phone to the iPad by connecting the devices. There are WiFi transfer apps that will let you send a video from one device to another one. I get the feeling that isn't what you are really asking though because that has absolutely nothing to do with your Apple ID.
If you want to download the same purchased movie to the iPad that you downloaded to the phone, go to the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad. Tap the Movies Button. Tap Not on this iPad. Find the movie and tP the cloud icon next to the movie icon and start downloading.
You must be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you bought the movie with on the iPhone.

Why doesn't Apple list the changes in iPhone updates?

Why doesn't Apple list the changes included with each iteration of iPhone updates? They always post a detailed list of changes for all other major software updates. I wonder why the same is not true for the iPhone, leaving us all guessing and wondering...

Just to add, Ansuz82 pointed out, Apple's track record is that they don't really ever give full published details about what their updates include in any of their products really. If the iPhone is your first product by Apple you may not be aware of this. To them, saying Bug Fixes is enough. If they publicly add more info, it means they really wanted to get that point out. eg: the 1.1.1 mainly just talked about iTunes WiFi store. 1.1.2 mainly talked about the Tiff exploit fixed and keyboard updates for languages. However, with all, a lot more does get changed than just the key points mentioned. And by a lot, I don't mean a lot that you will see. Have to remember, they are still ironing out the OS for the iPhone. A lot of changes to them is just cleaning up and fixing known bugs that many of us as users may not even know exisit (though we see the outcome of them when apps colide and crash each other).
