    Mac OS 10.9 with ATF will not recognize Kindle Fire HD 2013

    From what you say the problem has arisen from an update of your Apple Mac O/S With due respect why are you posting this on an Android Forum?? Please ask Apple - they made the change that caused the problem! Why should Google supply a fix for a problem generated by Apple????

    Miricast and the n72

    @tflash These problems seem to indicate there may be something amiss in your wifi system e.g.weak signal in location of BDP or tablet. However interested to see that your Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is Miracast compatible. I have a Panasonic SC-BTT 290 BDP/Home Cinema system Do you now if this is...

    Fire HD and Chromecast?

    This is great but with smart TV's I dont get why I need a Chromecast? I have apps that stream photo/video/audio files from KFHD7 to my smart TV's (e.g.Skifta) but these do not stream downloads e.g.You Tube or Netflix. OK I can stream these directly to the smart TV's but find the UI and process...

    Portable Entertainment System?

    Enlarge Kindle Fire HD screen items for older people

    This will depend on the app, website, or function as it will with any tablet. Enlarge with pinch and pull works with many e.g. photos on KFHD. If size is a problem then perhaps a 9" or 10" tablet should be considered. I am 70 and have arthritic fingers but do not have a problem with the 7"KFHD

    unable to view some mp4 files

    As I said my movies are "in hand" in the Movies folder, which is where I dragged and dropped them to from PC. To access I use ES File Explorer app from which I open "Movies" folder. I then select film to play and select "open with" VLC. Then plays (from start or last viewed).

    unable to view some mp4 files

    What player are you using? I use the VLC app --so far plays anything I have tried. My movies (transferred from my PC) are in the Movies folder where I put them.

    Typing on Kindle Fire HD 7"

    Personally dont have a problem but KFHD has a new generation touchscreen "layer" (Will be in next generation iPads) I find this more sensitive than other touchscreens I have used and took a bit of getting used to. Some people find using a "touch stylus" more precise.

So to resume I have to press the on button and type in my pincode With a screen time out I would expect to resume just by touching thescreen? I would like to set screen time out...
