Apple TV - is this stopping my MacBook volume working?

Linked to my previous question, I realise that the problem of my MacBook not playing sound started after we bought an Apple TV. When we use the AppleTV controller, the MacBook screen presents images for Front Row, event though the TV screen shows selections of programmes. How can I disconnect / unlink the MacBook from the Apple TV controller? Will this affect my ability to display MacBook screen images over the TV via the wireless network. Thanks to anyone for your help.

Installing Maverick does not change the hardware requirements.
Did it work prior to installing Maverick?
Does the device meet the hardware requirements?

How do I get my Apple TV NOT to control my Macbook volume?

We just recently bought an Apple TV. We synced it to our new remote to control volume and everything. Now, when we're on the Apple TV, when we move up and down on the screen, my volume on my Macbook Pro goes up and down with the tv. How do I get that to NOT happen.

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Apple and spinning and stops. Safe mode works ok.

I was trying to install DavMail to exccess exchange 2003. after several reboots in the process it now stops at the apple and spinning wheel screen. I can boot into safe mode. There I moved the DavMail and Office 2011 apps to the trash can, but still hangs at the same spot. Can anyone help? Thank you

As in andy's report, I also do not have an
"UpdateSettings" item in
/System/Library/StartupItems.
UpdateSettings seems suspect.
Dr Smoke & Andy:
Thank you for pinpointing the UpdateSettings startup as being aberrant in my StartupItems folder. I'm at work now, and can't try deleting it, (on my home machine,) but will do so once I get home. I think I know the reason why it's there, however. I suspect that you're correct, and that it is supposed to be deleted after a fresh install, (of which I've done so many these last few days.) However, I bet that when you boot in Safe Mode it never has the opportunity to be executed! As you know, I don't have an alternative to booting in Safe Mode, as the machine freezes before I can even login on a standard boot. I can delete the item manually, I guess. Or perhaps I can run it manually so that it gets the chance to do the cleaning up after the install which is probably it's job. (Don't know how to do that, but suspect it will involve invoking it from the terminal, once I check what is inside that folder when I return home.
Thanks again, guys, for your efforts,
Chris

Yahoo Finance app in Mission Control is not downloading/retrieving data. What do I need to do? Apple store computers have same app and are working fine.

The Yahoo Finance app in Mission Control is not retrieving info concerning stocks prices. It will go to the Yahoo Finance page. I went to the Apple Store and this app appears to be working just fine on their new computers
. What could be the problem?

MacBook Pro and Mac Pro are not the same machine. The MacBook Pro is a notebook, and the Mac Pro is a desktop. Regardless, the question you have pertains more to Quicktime or iMovie, as both those are video importing applications. Do you wish me to ask a moderator to redirect your question to either forum?
There are forums for each.
One application I found is great for importing non-Apple compatible video formats is http://www.etinysoft.com/total-video-converter-hd.html though you may need to get a Flash Card reader that supports your camera's flash card on a Mac to import the video.

My built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

Hi, my built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

MacBook Pro refuses to eject external disk - How do I make this stop?

So I have an issue that's been bugging me for a couple weeks, now (from even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion), that I, really, need a solution to. I have a 1TB external drive divided into 3 partitions. I eject it whenever I wish to remove it from my computer, but, lately, there is 1 partition that, constantly, refuses to be ejected. I get the usual warning in this instance:
The disk [volume name] wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it.
I click "Try Again" and it doesn't work. It works with "Force Eject", but I don't want to cause any unnecessary damage to the contents of the drive. The next time it happened, I ran the following in Terminal:
sudo lsof -xf +d "/Volumes/[volume name]"
This told me that the "mds" process was accessing the disk, which means Spotlight was using it. I clicked the "Spotlight" icon in the menu bar and Spotlight didn't appear to be doing anything. I can't quit the "mds" process in Activity Monitor, because the process just starts again. The only thing that worked was logging out, then, logging back in, then, I could, immediately eject the volume.
Of course, the next time I plugged the disk in, the same thing happened.
How do I stop this from happening? How can I stop Spotlight from, constantly, holding this disk captive? I shouldn't have to log out to eject a disk.
Please advise.

Cerebro,
I am in the same boat but I think you could help me and many others by telling us what what in the folders that were keeping your G-Raid or HARD DRIVE from UNMOUNTING?
I can force quit.......and even force quit to get the DiskUtility to treat that like a unmount.....
but in my case I may have installed software from AUTODESK that uses WIRETAPPING on the EXTERNAL DRIVE because that is the AUTHORIZATION method and also the CONTENT method they use to allow me to use their software for FREE as a STUDENT or EDU.
But I tried to kill these processes in the Activity Monitor and it just comes back or creates new numbers..
so I am not sure if that is the culprit...
I had read other culprits....like other 3rd party BACKUP SOFTWARE (not Time MACHINE) that was hanging the computer......
I am wondering why you had APPLE CARE help you and they couldn't even find the solution....
so without you sharing with me even in a private email as you didn't share what the FOLDER was for software.
I would be much appreciated as if this is the similar case then I can contact them and just ask them the workaround if it is not an APPLE thing......
Most POWER USERS that understand MOUNTAIN LION or SNOW LEOPARD and UNIX for that matter know the TERMINAL like a second language...
I wish I did but I don't yet.....
I really need to take a class or just read these ADMINISTRATION BOOKS for APPLE CERTIFICATION to understand such things.....
Please let me know anyone else reading this if you have some good ideas? or IRC CHAT or other FORUMS that strictly deal and discuss APPLE OSX and UNIX PROGRAMMING as well as NETWORKING without the FILE SYSTEM.....most of this is ADMINISTRATION LEVEL or root level knowledge, and should be offered as a MANUAL when you buy the COMPUTER........or at least a FREE PDF instead of having to pay the 50 or 60 dollars for the current flavor of OSX.....
I paid a 3 dollars for SNOW LEOPARD was happy updating school MAC LABS in LAUSD with that knowledge...but now I am MOUNTAIN LION 10.8 so I am wondering is it really worth the upgrade BOOK is that SYSTEM that much DIFFERENT than SNOW LEOPARD? can anyone tell me?
thanks so much
singleton
PS- - my problem is the same I have a G-RAID that will not EJECT unless I FORCE QUIT the DRIVE.....
I can't figure out what is causing it to hang......how should I go about finding out exactly what it is?
thanks

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.
     BPW
(Also, try to edit your second post -- black out your last name on the screenshot and re-post it for others)

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

HT204306 After I updated my iPad Friday 4/24/2015 my iPad is always asking for my Apple password. This is a pain in the neck. How do I get it to stop doing this?

I am frequently being asked by my iPad for my Apple ID. This has only happened since the last update which I installed 4/24/2015. I checked the settings but can find no way to disable this new feature. It is very annoying. How do I get it to stop asking for my ID?

Hello, Elanhui.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you constantly receive a prompt to enter your Apple ID password after an update. After an update, you may be required to confirm the password for multiple services. I am unsure what service is requesting your password as this sounds like one is missing. However, the prompt should inform you what service needs this information. I would recommend entering your Apple ID password for all services that are labeled iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in the article below.
