Apple tv and youtube videos

2012-11-25 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Dear Listers,

Can one play Youtube videos accessing Youtube website directly from Apple tv, 
or does one need to stream them from a mac computer using airplay? 

Also, as an aside question, I have a late 2010 macbook air. I have read 
somewhere that I can't stream from it to apple tv. Can anyone on the list 
confirm this? There is an application called Airparrot which apparently allows 
for such streaming to be executed. Has anyone used it? Is it accessible? Maybe 
there is a different solution to stream to Apple tv from my macbook air other 
than by using a cable.

Thanks for any suggestions/ tips.

Best regards

Andrew

Some of my Apple sounds in Mail have disappeared

2012-11-25 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Listers,

I have lost some of my beloved Apple sounds in Mail. I no longer hear my 
e-mails going off with the woosh sound, nor do I hear the familiar blow sound 
when my e-mails have finished downloading. I've not changed any settings. i've 
searched for some clues in Mail's preferences but not found anything. Has this 
happened to anyone else on the list? Is there a way of getting the sounds back?

Re: Apple tv and youtube videos

2012-11-25 Thread Dave

The Apple TV has a YouTube app, no website access really.

You can sign in to access your favorites or subscriptions via this app on 
the Apple TV.


You can also stream from any computer using AirPlay from inside iTunes via a 
wi-fi connection. No cables needed at all.

Press vo+j after you send your message, and you do this a couple times until 
you get to where it says HTML content. Then you'll go to the end of that, with 
vo+shift+fn+right arrow, and you'll see the most recent message. You can 
vo+left arrow to go back a message at a time.

Re: skype query again!

2012-11-25 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi there!
To add to this if and when you get to the last message in the html area if you 
then turn off cursor tracking with VO+shift+f3 then you can just start typing 
your reply after reading the message just sent to you and when you press return 
to send your reply you just arrow passed the message you just sent and wait for 
the reply to that and arrow through that one!
And when you have finished that conversation remember to turn on cursor 
tracking again with the same command as before!

working with play lists

2012-11-25 Thread cait furness
Hi,
ok, I would appriciate a little help here.. I'm just starting to play around 
with creating and working with play lists in i tunes on the mac and am very 
lost with the whole thing!  I thought it would be pretty easy, but maybe I'm 
just dense or something, lol!
I've managed to create a play list from a selection, but how in the world do I 
add other songs to this list?  I don't see anything in the menus to do this?

My other question is how do I add an entire folder as a play list?  I have a 
folder of holiday music which I just want to add as it's own play list for 
obvious reasons, can I just import this somehow?

Thanks!
Caitlyn

Re: working with play lists

2012-11-25 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

• To add an item to a specific playlist, select the item or items then press 
VO-shift-m, choose Add to Playlist then choose the specific playlist from the 
sub-menu.

• You must first add your folder of items to the iTunes Library first before 
adding it to any playlist.  If you sort your Music Library according to Date 
Added, then you can quickly find the newly added items and create a Playlist 
from them.

HTH.

Later...

Re: working with play lists

If your folder isn't in iTunes, you can select and copy all the items in the

annoying mailbox problem

2012-11-25 Thread cait furness
Hi,
ok, this is probably something I can't do anything about, but thought I'd ask 
anyway.  How can I get rid of the stupid vip's mailbox in my gmail account?  I 
personally didn't set this up, it just got put there by gmail and I never go 
into there to read anything.  It's just annoying to me to see it every time I 
arrow past it to get to other stuff.. I tried to drag it off the favourites bar 
and got the message that voiceover can't drag press able items, whatever that 
means.

thanks,
Caitlyn

a note on running a Mini with no monitor

2012-11-25 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I am way too nice and let a friend have my vga cable. I now have no monitor 
hooked up to my Mini, which is running 10.8.2, and said mini would be glaring 
at me if it could. It is slow to do just about everything, and nothing is 
running now that was not running when I shut down a couple days ago. So, for me 
at least, a monitor is indeed essential. Now I just have to pray for a vga 
cable to fall out of the sky...


Have a great day,

IF you can get a terminal plug or a vga to avi adaptor tat tricks the mac into 
thinking there is something attached as a monitor, the mac mini will run fine 
with no performance difference.

Re: a note on running a Mini with no monitor

2012-11-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
With the older minis, there was an adapter you could get that allowed the 
mini's dvi port to connect to a regular TV. If this adapter was connected, the 
mini would work fine. That doesn't work on the newer minis though. Depending on 
what mini you have, it probably has a mini display port, and either a mini dvi 
port or HDMI port. With these, the only way I have found to make this work is 
to connect a monitor of some kind, I don't think just the cable is sufficient, 
I could be wrong there though.

Re: Does Hid Country No Longer Carry the Mini Bluetooth Keyboard?

2012-11-25 Thread Esther
Hello Christine,

I think that this web page (for United Integral) points to a version of the 
Bear Motion mini bluetooth keyboard that is like the one you bought from HID 
Country.  This way you don't have to go through Amazon:
http://www.unitedintegral.com/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-ps3-ipad-iphone-smart-phone-computer-htpc-more.html
Here's the shortened link in case that wraps:
http://bit.ly/UJqaDd
Navigate to the heading, which will read "Mini Bluetooth Keyboard For 
PS3/iPad/iPhone/Smart Phone/Computer/HTPC & More".  Prices is $11.77 and in 
stock.  You could always try contacting the vendor to be sure.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Yes, you do need a monitor and no, it does not need to be on. Until I
can get a vga cable I'm stuck, I just wanted to add this to the

Re: working with play lists

2012-11-25 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Caitlyn,

No, they shouldn't get all mixed everywhere.  What she's saying is that you can 
copy the songs from your folder, create a playlist, then paste the songs into 
the playlist you've created.  I've never done it this way but I believe it 
should work just fine.  When you paste into the Playlist, the items will be 
added to both the Playlist and the Main Library.

Does this help.

Re: a note on running a Mini with no monitor

2012-11-25 Thread Kristeen Hughes
Hello, I have read all of the emails about needing a monitor on my mini. I had 
already drawn that same conclusion by experimenting without one. I hooked my 
monitor back up, But that did not help the problem. When I first boot up my 
mini everything is stable and runs fine. That is, finder runs fine. As soon as 
I open my first app, no matter which app that is, everything changes. 
Everything slows way down and I get messages from every app including Finder 
that it is busy. If I am listening to something it will break up InSpeech every 
five seconds or so and I will miss a few words until it starts back up again. 
This is also true for iTunes. The song I'm listening to will play for about 10 
seconds to 30 seconds and then it will stop for a few seconds then start up 
again and so on.

I have reinitialize my PRAM, but that seems to of made no difference. I have 
verified and fixed any disk errors, but I did not have any. I have also 
verified and fixed permissions, but those too weren't the problem. I have tried 
to run the system monitor but I cannot do this because of the faltering in the 
voice and in the computer as a whole. I have unhooked any peripherals, which 
are mostly just drives, and that did not help. The only change I had made up 
until this point, besides the fact that I disconnected the monitor, was to 
purchase a new wireless router. Thinking that that might be the problem, I 
disconnected it ends put it on a PC. Although the router and my wireless 
network seem to function better on the PC, this did not help the way the many 
is running. My mini has the same amount of memory as another mini that I have 
in another room of the house. This one is running with no problems. I am at a 
loss.

I realize you folks are not technicians, and I don't expect you to have an 
answer for me, but you seem to know so much about all of this that I was hoping 
I might get a few bites on something else to try. I appreciate your 
intelligence but I don't expect you to solve my problem. Does anyone have an 
idea? There's probably something simple that Ive overlooked, but I need to know 
what it is because I can't come up with it.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

Re: a note on running a Mini with no monitor

2012-11-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
Right, I never turn the monitor on that attached to either of my mac minis, 
still, it's annoying that it requires that. Fortunately I already had these 
monitors, it would be difficult to justify buying a monitor that I would not 
use.

Re: a note on running a Mini with no monitor

2012-11-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
Give this a try if you can. Some of this does sound like the computer is not 
connected to a monitor. What port are you using for the monitor connection? 
Open the utilities folder and open the system information or system profiler 
application, whatever you have. In the list of components, go down to displays 
and look at what is displayed? Does it say a monitor is connected?

Re: Some of my Apple sounds in Mail have disappeared

Hi Andrew,

happens regularly to my MacBook Air as well. Seems to me to be a bug. Restart 
your Mac and everything should be as usual.

All the best
