Anyone else get a call to express your opinion about Apple TV?

Took the time to answer a series of questions about my satisfaction level with Apple TV ... fortunately, there was an open-ended question about what I would change or improve. Mine were: no sorting of tv shows by episode or season and also no playing of episodes back to back. Anyone else give Apple their two cents worth? What was it? Have to say, the unit has been smooth sailing -- it stays connected, plays seamlessly, no hiccups -- even with a power outage from a storm, once power was back on the Apple TV rebooted and automatically connected itself to ITunes ... good job.
Thanks to this forum, I re-imported some of my favorite dvds (American Beauty, Almost Famous) using Handbrake settings suggested here - and what a difference! Before that, I was pretty disappointed with the quality but with new settings - I think these movies appear to be to dvd quality -- and they stream beautifully. I guess it's no surprise that quality in=quality out.
MacBook Pro & G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

I'd love to get that call: 'Master password so it's idiot proof and secure even if on display', 'Use as router or at least allow connection directly w/ just a pin # and not additional wireless passwords for guests'
I like the previous answers too : )

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...
    Anonymous
    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on xp

    is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on windows XP

    I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
    that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
    hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
    try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
    does iTunes launch properly?

  • Austin 3G outage? Anyone else getting "NO SERVICE"?

    Austin 3G outage? Anyone else getting "NO SERVICE"?
    Been happing for almost a week now, have to switch manually to edge for my Phone to work.
    Anyone else having this type of issue?
    Mine is in the South Austin area 78744
    Thanks

    I've had the same problem -- I've been on Edge on my iPhone 3G and my wife's 3GS for several days.
    I travelled to Fort Worth over the weekend and 3G coverage there was fine.
    I've sent two reports to AT&T but I'm getting ready to call them and ask about it when I have time.
    Today, in Round Rock, I have coverage.
    But it also seems that after a while the phone will turn off 3G, so you do have to check and make sure it's turned on before assuming it's not there.

  • Using Pintrest getting a message " you hit the rate limit" anyone else getting this message?

    I am using my wifi at home not sure what this rate limit is all about. Anyone else getting this message on Pintrest?

    As I understand it, you would need to go back before Mavericks. Such as, wipe your Mac and install a clone of your old Snow Leopard installation. Make sure the old iWork apps were installed and upgrade to Mavericks.
    What occurred when I upgraded from Mt Lion to Mavericks, is the MAS detected my installed iWork '09 apps, alerted me to available updates and presented the Mavericks versions of iWork in the Purchases pane for me to accept into my account. After I accepted them into my account, it then proceeded to install the Mavericks versions in the Apps folder and at the same time sequestered my previously installed iWork '09 apps in a folder in the Apps folder named iWork '09. Later, when I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, the MAS alerted me to upgrades for the Mavericks iWork apps and updated them to the Yosemite versions.

  • My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S.  Is the iPhone 6 louder?  Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

    My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S.  Is the iPhone 6 louder?  Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • Anyone else getting JavaScript TypeError - Null value?

    Anyone else getting JavaScript TypeError - Null value? I get it on Amazon all the time now. Nothing seems to fix it... What's up with Safari and Java?

    Java and Javascript are different. For more on their differences see:
    http://members.ozemail.com.au/~phoenix1/html/getstart.htm
    That said, Javascript which fails in Safari usually is something that is non-standard since Safari makes a genuine effort to follow http://www.w3.org/ standards. If you encounter a website that doesn't follow these standards, point them to http://www.anybrowser.org/ for guidance on making more uniformly compatible websites. In the meantime there are many other web browsers made for Mac OS X like Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Omniweb, Camino, Internet Explorer, Opera, and iCab. If you find a website that doesn't behave well in Safari, use the Report bug to Apple in the Safari menu. There is a Safari Enhancer which has a User Agent submenu in the Debug menu it enables. That same Debug menu can be enabled from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal via this command line:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
    The User Agent specified will spoof certain websites into thinking you are using a different web browser. In the end though, it usually is better to inform webmasters when their website is not accessible.

  • Anyone else get a NX6800 TD128 with GDDR3?

    I did.  When I got it back from Rma, I didnt notice the box, i paid more attention to puttin it back in my system so I could be playin again. Last night I noticed it said "128mb DDR3" on the box. So today, I found a program to determine specifications and sure enough, I've got GDDR3 memory.  I guess that explains why I can get it up to 350/950. Just curious, did anyone else get GDDR3 on there 6800nu?

    that´s the gift from MSI,everyone who have problem with this card,just send it to RMA headquarters and they give you DDR3.but also you can´t say everyone you get it.it´s secret.they wanna you as a potencial customer again and that is the reason.but as i now you must pay a shipment to them,but it´s still less money than the 6800 GT or ULTRA costs,and with DDR3 you can have it from this card.......very good.....i wanna problemous 6800non-u

  • Anyone else getting MORE than 24 hrs on their rentals?

    Just as the subject says, I was wondering if anyone else getting more than 24 hrs on their rentals? So far I have gotten to play my rented movie for over 24 hours. I checked and the file is still on my hard drive. I assume I am not continuing to pay for this movie, but who knows?

    It happened to us with the only movie we've rented so far. I had been fooling around with the iMac remote trying to figure out why I couldn't start the movie with that, when iTunes crashed (a first for me!!). So the next day when I discovered the countdown timer was off, I assumed that crash must have affected the time stamp on it. The movie stayed around for at least 48 hours after we first started it, then disappeared as expected.

  • Did Anyone Else Get 5.5.3 update?

    RESOLVED.
    Airport just updated to 5.5.3 while I was out and my girlfriend was using the Mac. Did anyone else get this update?
    Message was edited by: EpicCurious

    Yes, just did and updated without a hitch. I did notice that the AirPort Utility now correctly distinguishes between the generations of the AirPort Extreme ... correctly identifying that I have both a 3rd & 4th generation models. I assume, at this time, it will do the same for the Time Capsule.
