My mac doesn't have the symbol for apple tv in the top right hand corner, so i can't connect the mac and tv...why?

Why not?!? I've been really disappointed with this, we got apple tv a couple of months ago...

Hi @hmcgr26.
AirPlay Mirroring requires either a Wi-Fi (802.11 a/g/n) connection or an Ethernet connection to the same local network that both your Apple TV and Mac use. Make sure that your Mac and Apple TV are connected to your WiFi.
If your Mac supports AirPlay Mirroring, an AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears in the menu bar when an Apple TV is on the same network. Turn on mirroring by selecting an Apple TV from the AirPlay Mirroring menu. The AirPlay Mirroring menu extra icon is blue when AirPlay Mirroring is on.
If you do not see the icon, then you can turn it on via System Preferences > Displays.
If you don't see AirPlay Mirroring in Displays Preferences, then your Mac model does not support it.
If none of the above information helps you resolve your issue, then you may refer to Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
I hope that helps. Good luck!

    I have a symbol on the top right hand corner and don't know what it is!! It's a little lock with a circle around it??  Help please???

    It's Orientation Lock, which will kee the screen from rotating when you rotate the device.
    It's accessible from Command Center- swipe up from the bottom of the screen.  You should see the icon to turn Orientation Lock on or off.

    Do you have the most up-to-date version of the app? Did you upgrade to iOS 6? Did you check to make sure that the developer has updated the app for the new OS? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?

  • My Contacts program opens but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be off above the top right hand corner).

    My Contacts program appears to open, but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be sitting just above the top right hand corner). any suggestions on how to get it back?

    Launch Contacts, then on the "Window" menu select "Zoom". That should maximise the window and give you access to the bottom-right corner where you can resize it, and the bar at the top which you can drag around.

  • Hi, in almost every other browser, when i save a document or attach a file in my gmail i have a search bar in the top right hand corner of the window pane that opens. Does Firefox do this?

    for example, those of you running windows, if you key;
    start/computer/C drive you will notice a search bar in tope right hand corner. Can this happen in Firefox.

  • Just got a new macbook air I added 2 google email accounts to the mail program.  The mail downloaded thousands of emails and now on the top right hand corner I get bombarded by notification of these emails from 3-4 years ago and it is non stop.

    When I added 2 gmail accounts to my new macbook air.  The email program download thousands of emails and now I am getting notifications non stop on the top right hand corner from years ago it is non stop notification for the emails from like 2007 really old emails.  I am not sure why it is notifying me of old emails I know it is new just downloaded in the program but it should only notify me of recent emails shouldn't it?

    If your email client (Mail) it set to never delete emails from the server,  they stay there waiting. The server doesn't track what you've already downloaded, so a new setup of Mail just grabs whatever it finds on the server. You can change this in Settings, but for now, you have all your old emails to sort.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

    This part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
    But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
    U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
    Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
    The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
    By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
    Hope this will help u.
