Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

  • Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

  • Is there a way to delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

    Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

    If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password.  Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on.  Go to the App Store and then Sign Out.  Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

  • Is there a way to update the iOS on my Childs iPod touch without connecting to a pc? She has version 4.2.1

    Is there a way to update the iOS on my Childs iPod touch without connecting to a pc? She has version 4.2.1

    No.
    Also, do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

    Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
    The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
    This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
    If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
    *Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

    No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

  • Is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it?

    When I installed the iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, I chose the wrong computer to sync with (between my old one and my new one) and now my iPhone will only back up on my computer and won't sync new songs or anything!
    I tried to sync with USB cable, I reinstalled iTunes and I'm affraid to restore it!
    So, is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it? (so I can choose the right computer)
    Or, is there another solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    you have two ways:
    1- move your iTunes library from your computer to other one and sync your phone again. your apps and etc. has been reinstall.
    2- you can sync your iPhone just with iCloud. first upload your song with iTunes to your iCloud account and then sync your iPhone with that.

  • Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages?

    Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages? I frequently want to save a picture appearing on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and hit "Send Image" when I want "Save Image As", and have to sit and wait for a default send-mail page to come up, then close it, fiddling with its "are you sure" dialogs. This is a painful way to handle a slip-up. I basically NEVER want to e-mail an element directly from a page. Is there any way I can just delete "Send Image" from the context menu?

    You can remove entries in the context menu with code in the userChrome.css file

    Some IDs are listed in this MozillaZine Knowledge Base article:

  • Is there a way to open the apple menu other than clicking on the apple

  • In fullscreen mode, is there a way to prevent the page from shifting down when displaying the menu and tabs?

    In fullscreen mode (F11), when moving the mouse toward the top of the screen to display the tabs & stuff, the page displayed is shifted down. This makes it annoying when returning down with the mouse - you want to reach a certain link, for example, but your target gets shifted up once the tabs & stuff is hidden back.
    Is there any way to make the tabs & stuff display 'above' the page content, like on another layer?

    Is it the web page display that is changing its own position, or is it something
    about the toolbars that is pushing the page down? I have the same issue with
    my browser using an add-on to show a multiple line bookmark bar.

  • Is there a way to connect an Apple TV directly to the Internet?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to forgo the network connection and just plug my Apple TV straight into the broadband modem via ethernet cable for internet access to the iTunes Store.
    I have DHCP enabled, but the Apple TV is telling me the iTunes store is unavailable. Same for YouTube when I try the direct connection. When I switch the ethernet cable back to the router, everything is fine.
    -thanks

    I tried looking at the network connection settings from my G4, and then plugging them in manually to the Apple TV, but that also failed.
    It's not a big deal, I'm just trying some new things out.
    Someone let me know if they have ever been able to connect an ethernet cable directly into a broadband modem and successfully pulled songs/podcasts/tv shows etc. from the internet onto the Apple TV.
    --Muchas Gracias

  • Is there a way to connect the new MacBook Air to an audio interface that only has FireWire 400 input?

    I recently acquired the new MacBook Air for my performance rig and have discovered that there is no way to connect it to either of my audio interfaces [both have FireWire 400 ports only.  Is there an adaptor for this?  I can't seem to find one.

    Later on this month, both Belkin and Sonnet have indicated that they will have means to adapt the Thunderbolt port to the Firewire 800 interface.
    Sonnet's solution will be an simple adapter, while Belkins will be a more full featured dock, with a few ports, including USB 3.0
    There is no indication what the price of either will be, but both of them should provide a relatively easy means to then adapt to Firewire 400, as such cable adapters are already readily available at a nominal price.
    Apple has the Sonnet adapter mentioned on their website, so it may be likely that the Apple online store will be carrying them when they become available.
    As far as an adapter from USB 2.0 to Firewire, there have been only a scant few adapters available in the past, and all that I have seen were propretary in nature, only usable for the particular device they were fashioned for. I have not seen any that were usable in a general sense. Look at the reviews of any such products you might find in this regard. You will find no satisfied users.

  • Is there any way to accept the apple terms and conditions using the website or any other ways that are not flawed to being unusable?

    I have tried using the set in system of trying to update an app and being prompted to agree, but every single time  Apple's gay system keeps telling me that my session has timed out and I should try again. I have tried multiple times to have it sent by email, but every one of those show up as "there was an error and email failed. Please try again.". I signed in on the website and was prompted to agree to the terms and I did, but Apple still will not let me dowload/update apps. Is there any way to get to a part of a website that lets you agree to the terms? If not, is there any fool-proof way that I can do it or a solution to the session timing out issue?

    Try resetting your device.
    If that fails, Reboot, Reset, Restore.

  • Is there any way to connect an iPhone to an external hard drive without the use of a computer?

    Hello All,
    I am planning to travel to Central America, and I want to take pictures with my iPhone. I only have 8 GB memory, so I wanted to take my 1 TB WD Mac External Hard Drive with me on the trip. Is there any way I can connect my iPhone directly to the external hard drive, without the use of a computer? Thanks in advance!

    The external hard drive has only one input port which is usb, so you can only use usb here. Also try considering online storage.

  • Is there any way to get the apple stock photos as wallpaper? From the iPhone features page?

    I want this picture.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
    The picture on the black phone next to the 4 inch retina display section. Is there any way to get it? Is it a default photo or wallpaper of iPhone 5?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/pics/music/etc, for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Once the music is in itunes on your computer, then you can sync to your iphone.
