  • Can you use Apple TV 1 and Tv 2 together And what is the best setup

    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.

  • Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

    Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

    Hi,
    I'm a owner of the X-fi Elite Pro, and for me the headphone + speakers settings works very well. Just to be sure, you bought the X-Fi XtremeGamer Falalty Pro Series? and not the XtremeGamer Fatalty Champ Series or even the old regular X-Fi Fatalty? If so, I'm quite sure you need the I/O box with the 6.35 mm (/4 inch) steroe jack. My headphones are connected through the /4 inch jack on the Elite Pro unit and my 5. surround system through the X-Fi card's 3x /8? mini jack.
    I guess you have to buy the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit (or the Console Upgrade Kit) to use your headphones and speakes at he same time. I chose the Console because i couldn't li've with a thick and ugly digital cable sticking out in the front of my PC?
    Hope it helped!

  • HT201269 Can I sync my music from two different devices if I have two different e mail addresses and apple ids? If so how?

    Can I sync or merge my music from two different devices if I have two different e mail addresses and apple ids? If so how?

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • Can you use a Epsom wireless printer to print from an iPad

    Can you use an epson wireless printer to print from an iPaad

    Yes.
    Certain models are air print compliant, check your manual.
    If not I'm not sure if Epson  has an app, but there are third party printer apps such as Print n Share, Print Central and Printopia that should work for you (just to name the three most commonly recommended, there are plenty of apps so read the reviews and pick the one best for you)
