HT5437 Is it necessary to use a computer to set up Apple TV?

I only use an iPad and would like to install Apple TV. Is it necessary to configure with A computer with a USB port?

No, in fact you can't use a computer to set it up. Its designed to operate as an independant device. You connect it to the TV and use the remote to set it up. You may find some useful information here: http://www.apple.com/support/appletv/

  • Using secondary computer to network to Apple TV

    I currently have my apple TV connected to my iMac, but want to use my powerbook to work with my Apple TV as my iMac is gone out for repair. All my files for iTunes are on a drobo NAS and I have tried pointing my iTunes in my powerbook to the Drobo but nothing changes. All the iTunes library is stored on the drobo so the Apple TV says there is no content unless the iMac iTunes is connected. Can I get it to recognize that the library is streaming though the powerbook as the iMac isn't there?

    Have you set up a new computer streamin entry on AppleTV?
    Computers>Settings. Do not choose the top entry as that's the iMac sync/stream library, and if you change it you'll lose the iMAc link when it comes back, and also it'll delete anything on teh AppleTV.
    The new computer stuff appears under a new category My Shared Musci/Movies etc

    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Acrobat re-installs at the start-up every time I use the computer

    Every time I start a computer Acrobat keeps re-installing.
    First I get a message "Preparing to install" from the Windows installer.
    Then I get a message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat".
    And then I get a message "You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to Adobe Acrobat pro to take take effect. Click yes to re-start or No if you plan to re-start later."
    If I click Yes, then after a re-start it all start from the beginning - I get a message "Preparing to install" again...
    If I clink NO, I can use the Acrobat Pro, but this message is very annoying.... Also, it takes  extra time before I can start using the computer...

    Please back up your computer before starting any remedial action. System Restore is not sufficient for any catastrophic problems. First, I do not recommend the use of any 3rd party registry repair software. If you stick  to using the original publisher's software to isolate and/or fix any problems you will generally be much better off.
    In general, when you see the installer running right after trying to start an application, it means the installation is corrupted. Therefore, that's where I would begin troubleshooting.
    After BACKING UP YOUR SYSTEM, I would try the following:
    1. Uninstall the application.
    2. Clear the Windows logs
    3. Disable User Account Control
    4. Disable any third party software which might be conflicting.
    5. Reboot, if necessary, and then reinstall with Administrator privelages using the following procedure: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400682.html
    6. Upload (attach) your log to your next post so other people and I can look at it.
    7. Check your Windows Event Log for error messages related to the installation routine. Copy any installation error messages to your post.
    I'll take a look at the resulting log for unusual events.

  • Is it necessary to use a rs232 interface?

    Hi, I have a AL104 mass scale and I'm trying to read the weight on labview, I hook it up to the computer using a rs232 cable, but I don't really understand how the device and the computer is communicating, I use VISA to write the program, but I can't locate the resourse name (address of the input) . Some one told me I might need to use a rs232-GPIB converter, because the computer is not detecting the hardware. I want to ask, is it necessary to use a converter in order for the computer to send and receive signal from the device? becasue it seems to me that even the pc and the device is connected thru the cable, the data still not transfering between the two... or how do I check the computer knows the device is "attached"??
    Really appreciate if someone can go thru what I should do from the beginning to when I'm able to read the output from the computer!!!
    Thanks!!

    RS-232 and GPIB are two different things.  Looking up AL104 by Google, I came across this page that as a link to the manual  http://balance.balances.com/scales/1114
    The manual shows it is using RS-232.  That means you write a command to the Com port and read back the response.  There is no hardware to detect.  Your VISA port will be whatever com port you have it connected to.  Com1, com2, ....
    That manual told to look for the command set.  I found this link   http://us.mt.com/mt_ext_files/Editorial/Generic/1/PL-S_SICS_0x0002467000027246000b531d_files/B-S-AL-...  That should tell you all you need to know about communicating with the balance.

  • Configurations necessary for using EDI.

    Dear All,
    Kindly Give some light on configurations necessary for using EDI. I mean What is the use of EDI, How to use, what are the steps involve in that...
    Regards
    San Rao.

    Dear San,
    EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) – The transmitting of documents from one computer application to another computer application using a standardized format.
    Why implement EDI?
    Improves data accuracy: You can eliminate the need to re-enter data from paper documents and thus prevent potential data entry errors. It is estimated to be one-tenth the cost of handling its paper equivalent.
    Reduces technical complexity: With EDI, companies use standardized data formats to exchange documents. EDI allows companies using different systems to achieve computer-to-computer electronic exchange of business documents.
    Lowers personnel needs: EDI can help companies reduce the need for personnel involved in paper business transaction processing.
    Accelerates information exchange: The lead time between start and completion of order processing is greatly reduced. By timeous scheduling companies can plan production more accurately and thus reduce stock inventories.
    EDI technologies have evolved as a data carrier replacing the paper document. It is not a new concept or a new practice. EDI has existed for more than 2 decades in Europe and North America.
    Early electronic interchanges used proprietary formats agreed upon between two trading partners requiring new programs each time a new partner was added to the existing system. Lateron some industry groups began a cooperative effort to develop industry EDI standards for purchasing, transportation, and financial applications. Many of these standards supported only intra-industry trading, which led to a large number of EDI formats.
    In 1979, the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 was formed to develop a generic EDI standard. In 1993, Version 3, Release 4 contained 192 standards. There are over 100 additional standards in development. In the U.S., the most commonly used standard is ANSI X12, coordinated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). While in Europe, it is the Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce, and Transportation (EDIFACT) standard. SAP maps it message types by EDIFACT naming conventions
    Hope this helps you.
    Do award points if you found them useful.

  • How do I use iCloud if I have multiple devices using one computer/library, but I don't want contacts, calender, etc. to be shared? Can each device have it's own Apple ID and still pull music, apps, etc. from one library?

    Both my mother, father, and I recently got iPhones. We've all had iPods in the past and been able to survive under a single Apple ID/iCloud account. Now that we all have iPhones, we've heard a couple horror stories about parents and kids contacts and calenders merging when they are registered under the same Apple ID. What steps should we take to avoid this problem? We would still like to be able to share the same music, apps, videos, etc. If we all get individual Apple IDs, can we still all use the same iTunes library we have on our computer without any pitfalls?
    Thank you! A response would be much appreciated(:

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

  • How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

    Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

  • How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

    How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

    If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
    If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.

  • Jabber for Window, phone mode, how to disable "use my computer for calls"

    We have a Citrix environment and only want to control the Cisco deskphone with Jabber for Windows in the phone mode.
    We use CUCM 8.6.2 and I have installed Jabber for Windows 9.7.0 and all works fine, I can control my deskphone, make and receive calls, phonebook and Outlook integration works fine.
    Is it possible to disable "use my computer for calls" as we do not want users to make calls via Citrix, but only use the deskphone for this.
    Thanks, Perry

    Hi Matthias,
    Soft-phone mode cannot be disabled. Supported Features on Virtual Environment are the following.
    Supported Features
        Instant messaging and presence with other Cisco Jabber clients
        Desk phone control
        Voicemail

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

    I am using Hughes satellie for my internet provider.  I am having a problem using all my bandwidth each day.  Is there a way from using this bandwidth.  I am using even when I am not using my computer.  Is there a way to turn off things that are running in the background.

    It depends a lot on what you have installed and what apps you run. Here's a suggestion:  Get Little Snitch and see what processes are accessing your internet connection.
