RE: Library Sharing with Apple TV1, no longer works with Home Sharing on.

Let me begin by telling you what I have.
Last year I took my old 2006 XServe Dual Quad 2.8 GHz and moved it in my home which is hardwired, and set it to share my iTunes library (700 movies, 700 TV Shows and 16,000 songs) to my six Macs, 3 PC's and four Rev. 1 Apple TV's, thereby creating a cheap Kaleidescape Video Server System (www. Kaleidescape.com), and it worked great. However, when I introduced an Rev. 2 Apple TV into the equation, it, the Apple TV2 does not see the shared libraries on the XServe. It requires Home Sharing. The problem begins when I turn on Home Sharing for the Apple TV2, my Apple TV1's no longer see the Shared Libraries, and I have not be able to find a solution that allows me to run both TV's. In looking through the internet it appears the Traditional Sharing that I was used to, is going away with IOS. The question then becomes, is there a work around? Realistically, I cannot see why Apple would disable this feature as it works so well, and didn't require iTunes Authorization, which is user limited. Any ideas? I would really appreciate the help.

HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless. A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

Apple TV no longer connects to Home Sharing

Hello,
Frustrated and working on this issue for month - Apple TV no longer connects with Home Sharing! I have uninstalled all apple firmware and reinstalled from scratch ITunes, I have checked and unchecked Home Sharing and entered password dozens of times! I have reset all four apple TVs and I have unchecked/disabled IPV6 and it still does not work. all four Apple TVs have worked for years and somewhere along the way they just stopped.
I am running Windows 7 and the only thing that has changed in the path is the Time Warmer Arris router. Apple TV still connects to WiFi and Netflicks.
Please help,

Multiple Apple Remotes no longer work with Apple TV!

I've been using Apple TVs since the minute Steve Jobs introduced them in 2007. I bought the 2nd and 3rd Generation Apple TVs the minute each of them were introduced. I've been watching every Apple Keynote Address since they were available online or on CDs from the early 1990s, on my HDTV via my latest Apple TV when that was possible. I watch far more TV through my Apple TV than via my Cable Box, much of it music and music videos from iTunes on my 2006 Mac Pro! But as of YESTERDAY I am seriously thinking of getting another, ANY OTHER manufacturer's similar internet streaming box!!!
WHY??? Because YESTERDAY, for no apparent reason except some programmer's or software engineer's stupidity, my Apple TV stopped working with all but ONE of my Apple REMOTES!!!
Why is that stupid? Because, in my household there are three people who use Apple TV all day, and each of them have an aluminum Apple Remote which they all use to control what the Apple TV is streaming. We have two other Apple Remotes lying around in case one of us misplaces his or her Apple Remote, which happens occasionally. ALL FIVE of the Apple Remotes, just like the beige plastic Apple Remotes that they replaced, always worked with all three of my Apple TVs! Then yesterday, suddenly, only the LAST Apple Remote that was paired with this 3rd Generation Apple TV is able to control it.
I've spent HOURS trying to fix this. This wasn't caused by an Automatic Update to the Apple TV's iOS; there has been no update in recent days. I've got Automatic Update turned on, just as I, a good Apple citizen, have my Apple TV set up to automatically send back Usage Data to Apple. I've rebooted my Apple TV. I've put brand new 2032 button batteries into my Apple Remotes. I pulled the power cord out of my Apple TV for 15 seconds and again for five minutes and then restarted it. As per instructions, I have Unpaired and re-Paired each and all of my 5 Apple Remotes. All to no avail. Only the last Apple Remote that was paired with the Apple TV works! Horrible. And STUPID, if it was a deliberate programming decision and it was introduced in a minor automatic update.
Worse, I've been using the Remote app on my 5th Generation iPod touch to replace ONE of the unusable Apple Remotes, and as of a couple of minutes ago even THAT stopped working with my Apple TV! Well, I was able to fix that fairly easily by pairing the iPod touch Remote app with my Mac Pro and then pairing it again with my Apple TV. But I don't think that solution would be so easy for many non-technologically-inclined users. I also don't think that a $200 or $300 iPod touch is a very acceptable replacement for a $20 Apple Remote, especially since everyone buys iPod touches for totally different uses (I use mine primarily for taking notes using voice-activated audio or video -- it is by far the best device for that purpose out there -- police departments should take note).
I'm hoping that this multiple Apple Remote problem somehow resolves itself, unless it is a hardware problem with my Apple TV. If so, I can hold out until Apple's media event next week, which I HOPE will premiere a new 4th Generation Apple TV, hopefully which will once again allow my five Apple Remotes to all control my Apple TV interdependently, without having to Unpair and Pair each one each time you wanted to use it, requiring you to quit whichever Apple TV app you were using each time, or alternatively to use Sneaker-Net to deliver the one working Apple Remote to each person who wants to use it, which can be difficult since at least one of the users is very ill! (Whew! A long sentence. But I hope you get the point.)
Two days ago, I could never have imagined myself getting a Roku or an Amazon, Sony, Microsoft or some other streaming device. It just proves how fast a stupid little decision (if it was deliberate) can turn EVERYTHING around!

People have a misconception with remote pairing (as does the description on this page -> Pairing your Apple Remote with your computer - Apple Support).
The 1st paragraph is incorrect.
The 2nd paragraph is correct.
"If you have several Mac computers or an Apple TV that use the Apple remote, or other devices with integrated infrared ("IR") receivers in one room, you can "pair" your Apple Remote with a specific Apple device so it doesn't interfere with other Apple devices or IR devices nearby.
Pairing allows you to set the receiving Apple device so that only it can be controlled by one remote. Learn how to pair your Apple Remote"
Pairing sets the device to read only a specific remote.
It does not set a specific remote to work only with a specific device. ie. if you point th remote at another Apple device (that is not paired) it will control it.

Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
*Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

Apple Mail no longer working with Gmail

Hi,
I've been using Apple Mail for over a year now to coordinate multiple email addresses and it worked well until a few weeks ago when Gmail stopped working. I can add my account, the account loads, but the account is only visible if you go through the subfolders - it isn't visible under "Inbox". This defeats the purpose of using a client, since I'm not notified if I receive a message and to check I would have to flip back down to Gmail's subfolder to check that account and then flip back up to check my other accounts. I at first thought it was a problem with Apple Mail, but after wiping my computer and re-installing three times and upgrading to the new OS, I've decided it's a problem with my Gmail. I also can't get Gmail to work with Apple Mail clients on other computers. It works OK but not great with Thunderbird. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!!

Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.
Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...

I'm experiencing the same problem!

Apple Remote no longer works with VLC

Has anyone else come across this problem? Since upgrading to Leopard (Fresh Install) VLC 0.8.6c can no longer be controlled by the Apple Remote. Is this just another example of Apple (un)intentionally removing a feature?

Seems Videolan.org were aware there might be a problem with this:

Non Apple phones no longer working with iMessage

I had to reset iMessage on my iPhone and MacBook Pro in order to get it syncing again properly. I don't know what happened but it just stopped syncing until I reset everything. Now it is working. However, I'm noticing that any non Apple phones are showing in Red in iMessage. These are phones that I had had multiple conversations with successfully in the past, but now it just won't send anything. I even have the old messages under the Red listed phone that show my previous successes. Odd.

Do you have Settings > Messages > Send as SMS turned on?

Adapter that used to work with Gen 1 no longer works with Gen 6 nano

Hi
Here's my problem
I had nano gen 1 2Gb I had no use for (a gift) and now I I restore radios I git to use it to trasmit music via adapter I have bought 2 weeks ago, which plugs into the Apple interface slot and outputs USB and L/R audio.
This one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-USB-Cable-Video-AV-TV-RCA-for-iPod-Mini-Touch-Nano-V ideo-Classic-/350684814012?pt=US_MP3_Player_Cables_Adapters&hash=item51a6719abc
It worked just fine with Gen 1.
Then someone alerted me to that recall program and it got exchanged for Gen 6 a week ago.
When I plugged the adapter in it displayed "unrecognized device" but as I was playing FM radio it worked.
Then I used iTunes (latest) to convert some CDs, downloaded them into the iPod, started playing.....it playes for a few second, then makes the "wrong answer" sound (you know, that "errrrrrrrrrr!") and then keeps playing, and this happens every few seconds.
I thought first my disk import went bad as my computer is old and slow.
So I first played the imported disks on my computer, which worked fine, and then I played the iPod with just phones, expecting to hear that "errrrrrrrrrrr!" - nope, playes fine.
Then I plugged in the adapter (I only plugged it into iPod, the other end stayed unplugged) - and there it came again.
So, somehow the adapter that worked finr with gen 1 is no longer good.
Had I known that I would never exchanged it - 2GB is plenty of space, and the chance of that battery going up in flames are small.
Any ideas, anyone?
Regards,
Mike.

Not sure but maybe something to do with casting. Below is the code snippet from one of the blogs. Try modifying your script like below and see if still you get the error
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection]$lotsofpeople = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection
$user1 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user1");
$user1Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user1.Id, $user1.LoginName)
$user2 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user2");
$user2Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user2.Id, $user2.LoginName);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user1Value);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user2Value);
$i["lotsofpeoplefield"] = $lotsofpeople;
$i.Update();

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

Problem with Apple TV1 and iTunes 11.x

Since updating my computer to iTunes 11.x, my Apple TV1 no longer lets me transfer my computer iTunes content to the disk on my Apple TV1. I can stream TV shows that I have recorded to the Apple TV1 for playing (I guess in the way later versions of the Apple TV work) but can't do this for iTunes rented movies - the rented movies don't show up as shared content on the Apple TV1 menu.
Any suggestions?

Well, I have updated (Restored) my Apple TV.
I have turned sleep mode to "never"
I am running iTunes 10.6.1.7
The problem still exists.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi.
