Apple TV for In car computer....  in idea phase, please help

so im looking at throwing money at my car to make it a mac powered vw
I know its complicated, and will require a lot of components, but my basic question for you all is this;
LINKS BELOW
can I take my apple tv, and use this hdmi to RCA and VGA cable (1) to plug into this in dash VGA only monitor (2)... if not, is there any way to get my output of the Apple tv to VGA, any converter that you know of?
Then the RCA bit of the cable would connect to my amplifier which connects to my speakers
The grand scheme is to add an airport express and create a traveling wireless network in my car, to allow my iphone to remote control everything (audio and video) in the car

  • My iPhone 4 keeps asking me to enter the apple ID for an account which no longer exists-.please help

    my iPhone 4 keeps asking me to enter the apple ID for an account which no longer exists….please help

    I should have also said that the only reason this is causing me an issue is because I have bought a new phone and I want to sell this one.  But I cannot erase all data because I cannot turn off find my phone because it keeps asking for the password for an account which no longer exists…. have tried so many suggestions but nothing is working...

  • Is there ever going to be an update to this app that will allow iPad 2 users to actually order a photo book? I sat on the phone with apple support for an hour with no results. Please help!!

    After spending MANY hours creating a nearly 100 page photo book of our wedding, we were very upset to discover that the app crashes every time we try to actually order the book. Using an iPad 2. App will work right up to entering the cvs code on my credit card and then crash. You would think apple would be all over a problem that prevents users from spending over $100 to order an album. Been waiting to hear something / anything that will help.

    At what point do we stop shooting in the dark and resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
    I thought, you want to rescue the work you invested into your wedding album? Confirming a problem with iPhoto will not rescue your book.
    But iPhoto is just one component in a complex system - all parts have to work properly - the network, Apple's Print Products Store in your country (you are not in Australia, are you?),  the settings and presets on your ipad, the system files, iPhoto, and the photos you are using.
    I am quite confident in saying that there is not a data corruption issue with any of the photos. They are all photos of the same format taken from the same camera by the photographers at our wedding. Those photos were copied to my computer off of the DVDs and synced to my iPad.
    And during this sync transmission errors may have occured. Browsing alone will not necessarily show you any data corruption because previews may be used and not the original image files. Only editing will use the originals.
    I can't see the issue being an incomplete installation of iPhoto, as we have also created a couple scrapbooks and stuff just to play with, and also view over airplay. I can't see how an incomplete installation would allow all the functions of the app to work
    The installation includes many ressource files, and one of these ressources may have been transferred incompletely. All may work properly, until you need the ressources required for assembling your book.
    Then reinstalling can fix it.
    At what point do we stop shooting in the dark
    I prefer systematic troubleshooting to narrow down the problem to isolate the issue - why are you asking for our help, if you already have done so?
    resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
    That is up to you, to decide when the evidence is conclusive  - it is your book that you are giving up.
    If you are convinced, that it is a bug in iPhoto, nothing will save your book but an iPhoto update   with a bug fix.  Then the only option will be to file a bug report, so the developers are notified. Posting here in a user forum or talking to Apple Geniusses will not ensure that:

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    It feels like my iPod touch 5 has been a bit slow lately. All my apps are closed, I think there has been a day I don't use my iPod for like a week or two. Please help. Thanks so much for the help in advance.

  • HT3964 My mac book pro 2.3ghz intel core i7 will not start up. I get the apple and the circle thing but thats it. Please help!!!

    Give this a try:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Try zapping the PRAM.  See KB Article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243 OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help.

    I am a non profit.  I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC  for my office.  It is a download only.  It doesn't dowload on my computer.  It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me.  I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround.  What should I do to get it to run on my computer.  Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.

    64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has.  They are just limited to a small amount of memory.   If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
    You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
    Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer.   The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
    It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error.

  • I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd

    I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
