Why is the quality of my DVD the same as the quality streaming to Apple TV

Hi,
This is my first time submitting a question. I just cannot figure this one out on my own. I have a 1080p TV. I have Apple TV 3 and I am using an Apple HDMI cable. My Apple TV resolution is set at 1080p HD - 60Hz. My home videos are shot in 1080p. I use iMovie to make my videos. I burn my videos to DVDs for older family members using iDVD. I do it in Professional Quality. When I play the videos there is some blurr/distortion around some subjects and objects moving on my TV screen (not all the time). This is expected because i think my DVD resolution is 720p. But what I cannot understand is why when I play my movie through Apple TV (my movie is in iTunes), the quality of the blurr is the same.
Thanks for your responses
Mike

So it looks better or does it look the same when viewed on the computer? It may appear more promiently when displayed on a bigger screen as well.
Internet speed would not matter since this is over the local network. Do you have the source material or the raw footage on your computer? If it appears there then you have your answer.

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?
MacBook Pro with retina price in US is USD1299 and same product price in Germany is 1299 Euro. Why???

Obviously all the answers up here are true.. but I think that was not the real meaning behind the question.
Every country has different currencies that not only convert differently to others but have a different and relative value for the inhabitants. For example although Forex says 1,3$ = 1€ for the average European and American 1$=1€.. that means that roughly inside your country what you buy inUS for 1$ you get in Europe for 1€ (ex: McDonalds hamburger).
Also each country has it's own taxes, different renting prices (for apple store), different VAT, etc...
But the real question is. Is Apple NEUTRAL to market conditions?
This means... does Apple adapt their margin on products to local conditions or not?
To make it simple... Let's say Apple ... everything considered... gets 100$ for an iPhone sold in US... Will Apple fix their price in other countries so that, after paying local taxes, local costs, etc... still.. for each iPhone they earn 100$ ??
Or they have different market strategies such as rising the prices in countries where people are richer and more likely to buy iPhones even if "overcharged"? Or on the other side.. do they lower prices in poor countries (obviously not under production cost) to help locals buy in Iphone?
I think that Apple is doing their best to stay neutral to the market.. that is... We want 100$ at the end of the day.. whatever...
So we have paradoxes because in some countries iPhone costs more while in these countries people earn less (and I think this is not random.. but happens because.. usually.. countries with more regulations and taxes are also countries with lower wages... but that's politics!)
Here is a small comparison of iPhone 6 (16 Gb version) prices:
USA 550€........................ Average GDP per person 51.704 $ (calculated with California sales tax)
Switzerland 629 €............ Average GDP per person 44.864$
United Kingdom 687€....... Average GDP per person 36.569 $
Gerany 699€.................... Average GDP per person 38.666 $
France 709€................... Average GDP per person 35.295 $
Italy 729€........................Average GDP per person 29.812 $
As you can see Apple seems not to care about living conditions in the country or about average wages etc.. they just have their price adjusted to local regulations and taxes. Europe has 2years warranty service for items sold in Apple Stores (and 1 for items sold in other stores where Apple is responsible only for the first year). We also have some other taxes... For example, here in Italy, we have a tax on hard drives (goes by the Gbyte) that affects any multimedia product. Tax is meant to finance artists whom you are supposedly "stealing" by having unauthorised copies on your portable device... (I know.. is ridiculous). Etc...

Why is the iPhone cheaper from Apple store than elsewhere?

Hi there, possible silly question for you here!
Why is the iPhone 5C £319 from apple and £399 from the likes of Carphone Warehouse or Virgin Mobile??
What am I missing?
Having been with Virgin for a very long time and using basic phones I need something that's going to let me do what I need on the go without lagging and crashing so I'm going for an iPhone...possibly the 5C.
Do you think Virgin would supply me with a sim to go in the iPhone if I bought it from Apple??
Hope you can help!?!?!

If Apple has decided to sell the 5C at £319 ( as shown on UK store) it will be NOT carrier locked and will work with any of the UK Apple Approved carriers ,including Virgin
(forget CPW their units will lock to the first carrier sim used )
I imagine if you have a contract Virgin will provide the correct sim provisioned for your number ,but ask them first

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

How can I watch the coachella stream on apple tv

Online you can go to youtube.com/coachella but I can't figure out how to get there from my apple tv. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Certain links to the Coachella streaming video channels work with AirPlay to AppleTV.
Note: the video streams posted at http://www.coachella.com/ don't work via AirPlay. You get the error message "An error occured loading this content. Try again later."
The fix:
1) Starting from your computer, go to the Coachella website: http://www.coachella.com
2) Click the "Watch on Youtube.com" button (located in the embedded video player window below the playing coachella video; it's the one to the left of the "Fullscreen" button). This opens that same channel in YouTube.
3) Click "Share" and...
4) Click "Email"... (use YouTube to share a private email link to your email).
5) Open the Coachella channel on your IPhone from the link in your email.
6) Using Airplay, send this streaming Coachella Youtube Channel to your Apple TV from your IPhone.
It works!
If your AirPlay videos are interupted by your IPhone Auto-lock then you can fix that using:
IPhone --> Settings --> General --> Auto-Lock --> "Never".
Happy Coachella watching!

Why does the latest version of Apple TV suck?

I still have my first Apple TV (1st gen) which is amazing. I just bought the latest one at xmas. It was working fine and then asked to be updated. So, we updated it. It won't work now. It asks to be plugged in to iTunes. And you need a new cable (micros USB) to do so. Why ruin something that worked? Why?

Apple tv ***** big... Chrome cast is soon much better!!
My apple tv has decided to stop working (its only 1yr and 1month old, surprise, surprise...) and it says i have to plug it in to itunes on my mac but i haven't got any cables to plug it in to my mac..... What cable do i need? what do i do?
Ps: i have Macbook pro retina, ipad air 2 128gb , iphone 6plus 128 gb, imac 27", apple tv, 3tb time capsule...... and all my friends say i should switch to android, and i think there right, there chrome cast is SOOOO much better..... and im not trolling... apple can check my account and i have spent thousands, and thousands and thousands on altos stuff and its a pile of ......
if i have to pay for the cable tu plug my apple tv in to my mac i will throw it away and get a 30$ chrome cast (the same than what the apple cable will cost..)
I liked apple because it all went great, but now it just ***** and not the good type of *****, the kind of ***** that makes you think why did i spend SOOOOO much money on hardware that is as crappy as googles but much much much more expensive than google....
Cable? no cable? chrome cast? or just change my hole ecosystem?
Any suggestions ?

Why do the electrical adapters for Apple mobile devices always develop a crack in the wire casing?

Almost every Apple mobile adapter I've had must be replaced after a year or so.
You'd think that if they can create such brilliant products, they could supply us
with a durable cord which cannot cause shocks or shorts. I've spent hundreds
on replacement laptop adapters. It's highly irritating.

Your obviously a huge apple fan and going to defend it's lack of functionality. A print function is not going to effect battery life, nor decrease hard drive space. If it was intended purely as a toy then why include software to write documents and create spreadsheets. I don't know many people who create spreadsheets for fun.
What about people wanting to print photo's. 'There's an app for that'
I personally think it's a huge oversight and a major disappointment for the iPad. If it is capable of it why not include it.
I agree. I think a camera is a ridiculous thing to have on the iPad.....but you should be able to connect a camera o it and upload photo's.
If apple hadn't left so many features off of the original iphone i would probably just accept that this is what apple intended the product to be used for and tough luck if it doesn't do what i want it to. But Apple left so many simple features off of the iphone it was ridiculous. They revolutionised the mobile phone but at the same time took it back 5 years in functionality. No MMS, No multi delete, no multi sms recipients.........etc.
For a company so keen on selling top notch products to as many people as possible it seems crazy not to have a print function. Loads of businesses would use this if it had. I'm not the only one that thinks it's crazy not having a print function....just do a google search and there are thousands more asking the same thing.
Adding a print function could probably sell a couple of million more units.
It is a computer by the way....it runs an OS system. It has programs......it's just not a fully functional computer!
Apparently Stove Jobs has said via an email that printing will come.......if it;s going to come then why wasn't it here to start with!

How to delete specific photos from the photo stream that Apple TV is using

I had previously used Aperture with Photostream on my Mac. The Apple TV apparently downloaded those photos. I stopped using Photostream and Aperture, but the photos are still there. The directions posted on this forum say
If you are using Apple TV Software Update 6.0 or later, choose Photos from the main menu.
If you are using Apple TV Software Update 5.1, choose Photo Stream from the main menu.
If you are using Apple TV Software Update 5.0, choose Internet > Photo Stream from the main menu.
If asked, sign in to your iCloud account.
With your remote control, navigate to a photo that you want to delete. Press and hold the Select button, then choose Delete Photo.
There is no Photos on the main menu.
I want to individually delete some photos. Any ideas/

Yes, there is an icon called iCloud photos on the main menu. You can go into your photo stream and select the photo(s) you wish to delete.

Sending to the Photo Stream when not on wireless.

I was really hoping that iOS7 would allow pushing to the main photo stream when your not connected to wireless. I don't mind if you have to manually push so you know your using your data plan, I'm unlimited so I don't care, I just want to be able to push. I think I can use one of the added streams but if I can use those why not the main stream?
Come on Apply fix this.

It's on and I believe I receive the photo stream when on Cellular but it won't send and I'm 99% sure this is by design.
This is really stupid on Apples part and I love Apple. Don't flat out block photostream sending when on Cellular, have a switch so it's the users choice. Sure by default set it to no but once we set it to yes then it's our choice. I have no problem popping up a box askting us if they are sure we want to do it since it will use more data but darn it give us the choice.

HT5333 why i don't have a dvd folder in the settings?

why i don't have a dvd folder in the settings?

Got it.
The options have changed in the latest version – reduced from six to one.
But easy enough to make the presets. Just duplicate; change the bit rates and save as custom.
Here are the 3 settings for Best Quality from C3.5, 120, 150, and 90 minutes respectively.
The difference between the above settings and Fastest Encode is 2 Pass vs 1 Pass.
Fame controls are off for SD sources and on for HD sources (to activate the Resize Filter).
The Dolby Digital preset for the audio stream is the same for all 3 settings.

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
What should work:
Select the photos you want to share
File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
This User Tip

Hi there Amitabhavin,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive?

Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive? Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?

Gethin R wrote:

Because Apple did not put one in there.

We can't really answer that, but it would not surprise me. More and more of the computers being produced by Apple lack an internal optical drive. If you really need one, get an external such as LowLuster suggests.
Best of luck.
