My TV has only 2 HDMI conections that are all ready in use for Directv and the Blueray. Can I use composed cables to conect Apple TV

I'm going to take a guess and say that if your TV has 2 HDMI ports, it also has a component input (5 wire).   I'm also going to guess that either your DirecTv or your Blueray has a component output option.  If I had this setup, I would put my DTV on the component option and use the open HDMI port for the ATV2.
I doubt you will be able to tell the difference on your DTV.  Most of the stores that demo HD use component wiring on their store models.  The only downside is that you may be giving up the highest sound (Dobly 5.1 or whatever they call it.) 
Or you could just go to switching the HDMI cords from your BluRay to the ATV2 depending on which one you are watching.  I think I use my BluRay about 5% or less of my viewing time.  If I "tossed", I wouldn't shed a tear.

  • With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Creating FK's in tables that are all ready created

    Good afternoon,
    I have 4 tables set up, and need to create foreign keys in three on them relating back to my EMPLOYEE table. The FK will be based on the employee number column in the EMPLOYEE table.
    Once these tables are created and populated, how do I link a PK to a FK, and how do I create a FK in a table that is already created.
    Many Thanks,
    -Robert

    Hello Robert,
    you can do that with APEX as well:
    1. Login to your workspace
    2. Go into "SQL Workshop"
    3. Start the "Object Browser"
    4. Select "Tables" (if not selected already)
    5. Pick your desired table (e.g. CONSULTING) from the table list
    6. Click on "Contraints" in the detail view
    7. Click on "Create"
    8. Enter your desired Contraint Name (e.g. CONSULTING_FK)
    9. Chose your desired Contraint Type (e.g. Foreign Key)
    10. Chose your option for action on delete for that key (see lakes post above)
    11. Chose the column that contains the foreign key (e.g. Cnslt_Emp)
    12. Chose the table to be referenced (e.g. EMPLOYEE)
    13. Chose the column to be reference (e.g. Emp_Num)
    14. Continue
    15. Check if all settings are correct, see the SQL statement if you want, and click Finish.
    To learn more about what you can do with the Object Browser and the other components in the SQL Workshop, you might want to study the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15520/toc.htm]APEX SQL Workshop Guide. It contains step-by-step guides for almost all functionality you'll need in every day life.

    Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

    I have received notification that  the "Complete My Album", Music Speaks by Candice Glover is now available to download.  I have three devices that are all enabled to receive automatic downloads.  My problem is the same on all three devices.
    Only 0.05 minutes download on each song with the exception of the original song purchase: I Am Beautiful.  What needs to be done to solve this problem?

    It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
    Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

    Removing the "Disabled" will erase the iPad. If you have important files on an iPad you should backup frequently.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    I have a ipod that had photos synchronised to an old computer that has sinced crashed and the data can not be recovered. How do I recover the photos stored on the IPOD to my new computer?

    You'll likely need the assistance of some sort of 3rd party software.  Keep in mind that the photos on your iPod are only scaled down thumbnail versions of the originals.  So even if you do manage to copy them backt to your PC, they will not be in their full original resolution.
    Do a simple Google search for "copy photos from ipod" and you should get a number of hits that can assist you.

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices
