Will Apple tv ONLY work with an HDMI connection on the tv?

My television has one HDMI port and it is connected to my Bose setup. If I get an Apple TV, will that also have to be connected to the same HDMI port? Or, can it work connected to the "old fashioned" video and audio ports?

The 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV need a HDTV to be used, so you need a HDMI port on the TV to connect the Apple TV

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi? Im having very sporadic results with this. I thought Apple products worked. Home sharing is not working from my windows operating system to my iPhone 4S nor my iPad.

This question is asked so often, I'm convinced many are kids trying to get around the restrictions their parents have set. :-)

Will Apple Cinema Displays work with Directv?

Hi everyone, I have a 23" Cinema Display, the model before the aluminum casing. Now what I'm trying to do is watch Directv on the ACD through the hdmi/dvi output of the directv receiver. I understand I will need an ADC to DVI adapter for my model display but I'm already planning on getting one since I will be connecting my macbook pro to the display.
So has anyone tried this out and can say this will work fine? Or will the picture be distorted, colors off, incorrect signal, etc? If it works fine, I will buy a dvi switch so that I can use the display for my computer and television.
I know there is Elgato's EyeTv hybrid out there but this option will only allow me to watch OTA HD and every directv channel in sd. I already have the directv hd package in my house but do not have a tv in my room at the moment.
Thanks a lot.

As far as I know this won't work for at least one reason and possibly two. For one, Apple Cinema displays are very picky about the input that is passed to them. In fact, the 23" ACD will run from one, and only one, format, which is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz. This is not a standard for consumer devices like satelite TV boxes, so the DirectTV will not be able to output this resolution.
The second reason is that the HDMI output from the DirectTV will likely expect an HDCP handshake from whatever display is attached. ACDs are unable to provide this.
There may be products from Gefen that will allow you to interface the two, but I'm not sure about that.

Will Apple Air (2011) work with BenQ W1070

I want to be able to display home made videos and photos to reasonable sized groups of people, so I need to use a projector rather than a screen. For this purpose and a couple of others my research shows the BenQ W1070 to be the right balance of function and price for me, but I have no idea whether it will work with my Macbook Air 13" that I bought in late 2011 running OS X Mountain Lion. Any advice on whther I can do it and if so what I need to make the connection would be very welcome.

Oops, it was easy, just the right cable (mini port to HDMI) and it works a great. Question withdrawn.

Mac only works with 2 monitors connected

My mac pro OSX 10.7.5 briefly had a second monitor connected via a dvi to mini adaptor. My main screen is connected via dvi. I now want to remove the second monitor but when I do, my main screen remains black; it only works if both monitors are connected. I have tried rebooting, switching display ports, rebooting with no displays, the rebooting again, switching mirroring on and off, but nothing seems to work. The second monitor does not even need a power source - it seems that the graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) is stuck in dual display mode. I have also removed the com.apple.windowserver.plist from preferences, but no joy. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mark.

My guess is your setup is wrong. On my 5.1 system, I get sound from all the speakers, including the rear ones.
Open the Quicktime control panel, and click the Audio tab. Make sure the "Channels" pulldown matches your current speaker setup.
Also, in the "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel, on the "Volume" tab, click the "Advanced" button under "Speaker Settings". Make sure the Speaker setup pulldown matches your current speaker setup.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

Will Skullcandy earbud controls work with an Iphone 5S

I lost my Apple earpods, and I was wondering if I buy skullcandy earbuds, will I be able to use their earbud controls to control my phone as I would with a pair of Apple earpods? When I used to have a samsung the controls only worked with samsung earbuds, is it the same case here?

I can't speak for the Deido but this case works great with it and is really nice leather.

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.

F9 and F10 only work with fn pressed

My F9 and F10 keys only work with fn pressed, whereas all the other top line function keys will work alone.
Is this normal?
Mike

Well for the backlight function I don't believe it can be changed. For Expose´however you need simply to go into System Preferences. There you'll see the control for Dashboard & Expose´. From there you can change the function keys for Expose´ if you want.

Will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are in use

will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are being used .
If splitter will work any recomendations as to best type to use

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

If the projector supports HDMI input.

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?
