1 question to ask before buying Apple TV...

Ive managed to convert some .avi files into .m4v using "Export > Apple TV" in Quicktime 7 Pro.
the files import fine into iTunes, and play fine.
Now will they play in AppleTV fine, or would i have to do "Convert to Apple TV" inside iTunes?
Could someone just let me know before i purchase, coz the new 160GB version is more appealing to me.
Cheers

I can't seem to find anything about this: does TV work the same as an iPod in that if I sync content to its internal HD and then remove that content from iTunes, does that content disappear the next time the TV syncs (hope that made sense)?
I have a several gigs of videos that I'd want to move to the TV but remove from iTunes to clear the space on my computer's HD...
Kudos to Apple for the upgrade to 160GB, now please give me DVR function too so I can get rid of the TiVo!

While I was starting "word search" a question appeared asking for my Apple password so I gave it. It disappeared, and I was in the program. Is this common? I didn't feel comfortable after that. Could someone have hacked my password?

I was starting my "search word" game tonight as I always do, when a question asking for my Apple password appeared in order to play. So I entered my password. The question disappeared and I could continue the game. After that I felt very uncomfortable. Is this a common thing to happen? Has it happened to anyone else. Can't get a hold of anyone at Apple because it's after hours....

Change your Apple ID password.

ICloud question never asked before

So I've bought iPhone 5 as a present for my brother from a second hand store, and it was fully working, I've put my apple credentials to get access to apple store and stuff, even more, I've checked "Find My iPhone" option and phone showed in icloud.com, so when I was sure that everything is good with the phone, I've wiped it off using option on icloud.com. Before wiping device I've put my phone number, since icloud ask for it, guess what was my surprise when phone turn on and ask me for someone else apple credentials. Now Apple bounce me from left to right stating that I need proof of purchase from original owner, I've provide them a receipt that I've got from store that I've bought phone, but they're still not really willing to help. Due data protection act they cannot contact previous owner, neither they can't provide me even an email to that person. iPhone apparently have two iCloud accounts now, mine and previous owner, but I can't use my credentials to activate device.
And now my question:
If i can prove that I've bought phone second hand from legit source does that make me an owner of device, and prove that my credentials being used with phone before iPhone being wiped, why Apple still hesitate to remove iCloud lock?

Because you bought it from a secondhand store and not an original seller. The person who sold it to them might have stolen it.

Few questions I had before buying an iMac..

Alright, I plan on entering the Mac scene in a week or two, but first would like a few questions I had cleared up.
My first question involves Boot Camp. From the Apple site: "Boot Camp supports the most popular 32-bit releases of Windows XP and Windows Vista." I was planning on getting Windows XP64 to dual boot with. Will Boot Camp not support 64 bit XP?
Second question(s) revolve around Time Machine. First, I plan on getting an external 500 gig drive for Time Machine to do its thing with. Does Time Machine need the entire 500 gigs for backup? (The hard drive in the iMac I'm planning on getting has an internal 500 gig drive). Or is it possible to partition half of it for Time Machine and half for my own regular use?
One more quick question, do the iMac's have any sort of built in speakers?
I believe that's everything.
Thanks in advanced,
Benjamin

You didn't say why you need bootcamp or 64 bit (nor do you need to).
I just wanted to say if you are planning on running games on Windows, where you need full access to fast graphics, DirectX, etc. then Boot Camp is the way to go.
On the other hand, if you need windows for programs such as Quicken or Internet Explorer, it is much more convenient to run them in Virtualization software like Parallels or VMWare. Your XP or Vista session will run in a Window on your Mac and you don't have to reboot to go there. Unfortunately, only 32 bit versions of Windows are supported.
You can have the best of both worlds. You can have a bootcamp partition that is bootable into Native windows, and you can also access the same Windows license, programs, and data in Parallels (but only if it is 32 bit).
For Time Machine, you can partition a single drive into a Time Machine partition and another partition, let's say your "Media Files" partition. However, if you plan on backing up your "Media Files" partition to Time Machine along with the files on your internal hard drive, you have the problem that a disk crash would wipe out both the original and the backup.
I have a nice set of powered JBL surround speakers with subwoofer that I used with my old Dell, and I continued using them with my old iMac. When I got the new Aluminum iMac, I gave the speakers to my daughter, because the internal speakers are quite good and I got tired of the clutter.

A few questions on N810 before buying one

Hey All!
I am planning to gift N810 to my brother and I have a few questions. I have been doing some research on the following questions I feel there is a mixed feeling amongst users.
How good is N810 to be used as a multimedia player?
Some of the reviewers on Amazon.com say that if someone wants to use N810 primarily as a multimedia player, then he/she should look for something else. What are your experiences?
How good is the video quality? How is the audio playback?
I understand that video player is not as intuitive as other players like iPod Touch. Is this a deal breaker?
I have also seen some youtube video reviews that say that web browsing/ web page loading is not quick. Now assuming that internet would be primarily used for checking emails and sending one liner replies and using meebo for messaging, how does the device perform for these uses?
Can you use webcam on meebo for video chat?
My brother would use the device as a multimedia player + email + chat (video chat on google chat would be a bonus) For these uses how much would you rate N810 on the scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best.
How would you rate it against iPod Touch 8 GB 2nd generation?
Thanks much for your time!

I owned the N810 for about a month and I liked it a lot. However, the main thing I used it for was the RSS feeder on the homescreen. I would prop it up on my desk at work and just glance over to get all the interesting updates from various websites I follow. The second thing I used it for was web browsing and the third was using it for Rhapsody.
Now, I have to say where I was very disappointed was video playback and music playback, so I don't think you will like it. I downloaded a very low quality episode of a tv show from google video and it could barely play it back without constantly freezing and playing flash videos like youtube was generally the same. But I think what really bothered me was the scrolling through web pages because I would constantly trigger links, accidentally opening new pages anfd then taking forvever to get back to where I was. The music playback was disappointing because I own Nokia bluetooth stereo headphones and it's not compatible with that. I was able to connect them but the sound so atrocious it was unlistenable. So, I can only recommend it if you don'tplan on browsing sites that have flash video, or want to listen to music wirelessly, and video playback in general is very poor. But if youy want a three hundred dollar RSS feeder then I can recommend it. In all honesty, I got it because I was disappointed with the web browsing on my N95 and since I have replaced it with the 5800 it makes up for those problems, so if anything get that instead.

Is there a way to turn on Ask to Buy for those older than 18?

Is there a way to turn on Ask to Buy when sharing with an individual older than 18?

Hey photogpreacha,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to turn on Ask to Buy for a member over 18 years old. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

How do I approve an 'ask to buy' on a family share

How do I find my 'notifications' to approve an 'Ask to buy' from my daughter's profile?

Hello Shaynn,
If you are the organizer of the Family Share you should see the Ask to Buy request in the Notification Center.
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Make or decline a purchase
If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device with iOS 8 or Mac with OS X Yosemite:
Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
Approve or decline the purchase.
If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.
After it's purchased, the item is added to the family member’s account and shared with the rest of the family group. If a family member downloads a previous purchase again, downloads a shared purchase, installs an update, or uses a redemption code in the store, the organizer won't get a notification.
If the organizer doesn't make the purchase or decline the request, it will be deleted after 24 hours, and the child will need to make the request again.
So if you are on your iPhone…
You can access Notification Center from any screen, including the Lock screen. Just swipe down from the top of the screen.

So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
Anyways, thanks for any help !

Wow, easy there company boy!
I've heard all of what you spit up before. And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play. (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"." Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!
