Hey guys
Can you use Apple TV 1 and Tv 2 together?
And if you can what is the best setup with teh two devices above and the need to hook it to one TV.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If I understand correctly you want to use both the Apple TV's with one TV.
There wouldn't be a problem with that, they will each need there own network connection and should be connected to different AV inputs on the TV so that you can switch between each Apple TV as a source with your TV remote.
If you don't have two HDMI ports on the TV, the Apple TV 1 will connect by component cables, if this isn't possible you would need to get yourself an HDMI switch.

  • Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them.  Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming.  NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime. 
    Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
    OMG!
    Ironclad
    Lodes Kitchen
    The Flinstones
    Saw III
    Starz Play is a little better;
    Toy Story 3
    Secretariat
    Weird Sciecnce
    Father Of The Bride.
    But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels.  In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
    Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment.

  • Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
    Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
    As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

    currently no
    but some people say that airparrot can though it does not rely on the gpu for realtime encoding so performance would be worse
    with the next version of osx you are suppose to be able to do what you ask though

  • Can you use apple tv on 2009 mac

    can you use apple tv on a 2009 mac . I have Mac OS X (10.7.5 running

    Yes but it will probably be too old for Airplay mirroring of the Mac's display but should work fine for sharing photos from iPhoto/Aperture or playing compatibl media from your local iTunes library with iTunes running.
    For many features AppleTv does not need a computer at all.

  • I have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation.

    i have a sequence shot on the 550d/rebel T2i, I converted it to prores 422 in MPEG Streamclip and edited in fcp. What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation. Rite now, i have been just clicking on the export to quicktime function, but the quality of the footage is completely reduced and colours look desaturated and there is pixellation compared to the original camera footage. Also is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage (like an online edit or something). Also is there anyway to upgrade the final quality. I have Compressor, Dvd Studio pro, Motion, Color and Cinema tools, i dnt know if they are of any use to me and have no idea how to use hem or what they are for also.

    >What is the best export that i can do to preserve quality and prevent pixelation
    The best way to export is entirely dependent on what you plan to do with the exported video.  For example, if you plan to go to DVD, the export process is different than if you plan for web delivery or for iPhone viewing.  Compressor has presets for most final delivery formats ... start with those.
    >is there anyway i can render and export the sequence using the original footage
    Yes.  In FCP, go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie.  Check the box to make the movie Self-Contained and use Current Settings.  Do NOT "Recompress All Frames."   The resulting self-contained movie will play on any Mac that has the needed audio and video codecs installed.
    >is there anyway to upgrade the final quality
    No and maybe.  While you technically cannot improve quality over the original, you can possibly 'enhance'  the aesthetic quality of the video using various filters in FCP or Color.

  • I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them.  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

    I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them?  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate.  Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye.  Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

    Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
    iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.
