Apple Posts Quicktime Stream Of Event, Apple Store Down

[drumpat01]

My QT is giving me a 404 Not Found now. Maybe it is just the page where the video will eventually be posted and we just found it quickly.

I think the likelyhood of anyone connecting to the stream is about zero.

 

[lewion]

now maybe i got it....

wait wait something gets true me, maybe they update the stores while everyone watches the video live... so that in stores there will be new MB en MBP updates to talk about after the broadcast... just an idea its apple you know

Oh, I see. Bummer. Try hiding it under the desk. Or better still, say you have to go to the restroom. That was always my excuse for any urgent business during a lesson.

It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

For anyone who keeps getting the error message in QT

"Not Found"

Just hit fast forward and it should display
"Live Broadcast-Paused"

its grayed out for me

 

[puttputt]

Still, would it not be easy to see if the boxes were, uh, iMac sized, iPod sized, or Nano sized???

I am just amazed things stay secret so well....

I'm pretty sure the box size is bigger than a Mini and smaller than at Mac Pro. And the price tag is $1499. (and it's not an iMac).

 

[MonkeyClaw]

Same here, its grayed out. It was working for me earlier but then I got this message

Should have skipped school today

I would have skipped school today or at least come down with some food poisoning at lunch. Where's your commitment!

Live broadcast is paused for me. Should start up once the event begins.

Hmm.... Food poisoning at lunch. That won't help since it's at 12:45!!!!!

Whew!, just re-organised/tweaked & enhanced my entire iTunes library out of boredom. So we have live streaming? that'll be awesome. Again thanks to MR for the live update. You guys rock.

Think about it...

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.

Who found this link? It's not anywhere on the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/ page. So most likely someone ran into this link by mistake or was fed it by an insider, but it's not going to go live probably for at least an hour after the event is over.

That's my guess anyway, I could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like this link is going to work for a while.

Starts 1 PM East

Starts 1 PM East

Hit fast forward

I cant hit forward, its greyed out. Next idea?

 

[enigmatic2]

Too bad. If memory serves the last event was quite late starting, so you may be able to catch up with the exciting stuff (the first 20 minutes will probably be about sales figures and the new iMac anyway). Good luck!

There Is No Live Broadcast

Occum's Razor.

Hope it will work better than the past live streams.

Link to stream

I found it by surfing their QuickTime site:

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/index.html

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.

Haha, Woz is in the audience... Confirm anyone?

 

[HecubusPro]

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'.

It says "Live Broadcast" for me. Having worked in TV for the past 15 years, that usually means it's a live broadcast.

 

[puttputt]

MacBook??

No, silly. It's the "Mini Tower" thing.






(i hope)

 

[technicolor]

It does say Live Broadcast-Paused
