I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks
Nick

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

    Have a good one,

  • After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

    Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

    I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
    Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility?  That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
    Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
    Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says.  Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
    The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

  • I would like to connect an external hard drive to my time machine and use it as a network drive to store itunes and iPhoto  how do i do this

    I have just purchased a new my book hard drive and would like to connect it to my time capsule and store my itunes and iphoto contentent there to free up space on my internal hard drive . Can this be done and what is the process?

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • Are there any apps to support Bluetooth earpieces that do not support music

    Basically I have a Rock candy Bluetooth earpiece for PS3, but I paired it with my white iPad 2 16GB it only works with calls but I want to listen to music or other media such as podcasts or videos. Are there any apps to help me listen to media or any tricks or options? Thanks

    If the device does not support the correct Bluetooth profile, there is nothing that you can do to change that.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

    I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

  • Apple tv (3rd gen) os 6.0 and itunes 11.1.1 library not syncing/updating

    hi all,
    just wondering if anyone else has had this happen, and if you have worked out a solution.
    there were some issues with the 6.0 upgrade and are getting agitated with this as have tried many scenarios to find a solution.
    thanks in advance.

    I wouldn't go down the path of going backwards or restoring to previous version. If I didn't fix the issues that I had I was going to ethernet cable it into the network and see if that assisted the process. The upgrade took between 2 and 4 X to get running and the restore took forever… I let it sit and do it's business without interference. Turning off the sleep function and energy saving altogether. So that it would happen. As for netflix I don't use that function.
    If you are seeing files in iTunes but not on Apple TV the next issue would be the naming conventions and in the information section of the file, possibly needing it's "Media Kind" changed to Movie in the "Options" section. As they all went to a default setting.
    I found quite a few of my files lost their formatting with the combined iTunes and AppleTV upgrade.
    I hope this helps. Cheers

  • HT1414 I never synched my iPad to a computer, and I forgot my passcode and am now locked out.  I read that I need to do a restore, but will lose all my files.  Is there any way to get into my iPad but NOT lose my photos and files?

    I forget my passcode, and got locked out of my iPad.  I never synched, so my files aren't backed up.  I read that I need to restore, but will lose everything.  Is there any other way to not lose my photos and files on my computer?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Can i connect my apple tv 3rd gen to a thunderbolt display using a hdmi to thunderbolt cable?

    Can i connect it using this cable that apple sell?
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H4637ZM/A

    Somewhat the same as vazandrew, I don't know, haven't tested it, but since thunderbolt supports both HDMI and HDCP, I'd be inclined to think it would be OK. Of course you'd also need to make sure the resolution of the Apple Tv output was supported.

  • I bought movies on my ipad2 how do I transfer them to my computer? When I am in iTunes I have tried the transfer purchases, when you click on movies under the iPad nothing is there. I need to free up space, but don't want to loose my movies.

    When I sync my iPad my movies don't show up on my computer... This is stupid, I am not going to turn my computer on every time I want to download a movie for my kids and then move it to my iPad... If this is the case I will be better off buying a portable DVD player! I just want my movies to show up on my iPad so I can move them to the computer. We have a 64 gig one and this is really disappointing! If this can't be fixed I won't be spending any more money on apples digital products. My devices are being used by kids and I need a way to back up what they don't save in iCloud!

    Try here >  iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    iCloud doesn't support movies...
    iCloud backs up your:
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    From here >  Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

  • My iPad  battery is starting to drain just sitting in the case. Are there any setting that would cause this?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Double tap your Home button. You should see a list of currently running apps. Chances are these apps are slowly draining your battery.
    When closing an app from your iPad, it doesn't really close entirely. Instead, it sits in your RAM, continuousuly using it, because it thinks that there will be a high chance that you will open the app again.
    To really close the app, double tap your Home Button. This will show your multitasking bar and a list of apps currently sitting in your RAM. Just like what you would do to move apps on your Home Screen, tap and hold one of the apps in the multitasking bar. They should start to wiggle, with a red button with a white line in the middle. Tap the red button, and it should disappear. Repeat for all running apps in the multitasking bar.
    Hope this helped.

  • Are there any game controllers compatible with the ipad?

    ios7 now supports game controllers, ive seen a few such as logitech and moga contollers built for iphones, but ive not heard of any available for ipads. Does anybody know any different?

    There are a few compatible controllers that use bluetooth, but they are not well reviewed. I'd hold out a bit longer until some decent hardware comes out.

  • Are there any iPhone 5 compatible clock radios?

    As above I've done a google search and there appears to be zero clock radios for the iPhone 5!!
    Surely they should have started releasing stuff like this almost 12 months after the launch of the lightning connector?

    Case-Mate start selling iPhone 5 cases. Here is some of them:
