Apple sharing on mac os X

Hi,
I have a 3rd generation apple tv and an imac with osX with the latest Itunes it has which is 10.6.3. Apple sharing is not working on it, so I can't see any pictues or movies stored on my computer. Are the 2 compatible or am I wasting my time and now have an expensive paper weight?
Any help on how to get the 2 working together appreciated.

Thanks for all your replies, but can someone please tell me if my OS and Itunes will work with Apple tv or am I wasting my time trying solve the problem?
Sorry if it sounds rude but I'm tearing my hair out at the moment as I'm not very technically minded and usually just hit things with a hammer to make them work.

Screen sharing on Mac's through Messages (remotely) ?

Hi,
I'm visiting my in-laws and have just helped them set up their new iMac. I expect they will from time to time need me to assist them remotely (we live app. 1200 km apart), so now I am trying to get screen sharing in Messages to work (all Macs are running latest Mountain Lion).
Using my MBPro on their local WiFi network, I noticed that the screen sharing commands remain grayed out in Messages when chatting between the two iCloud accounts. By playing around a bit I noticed that when activating Bonjour on both Macs it appears to work. On my own Mac I noticed an AIM account which should also do the trick according to what I can find on the web ... but I don't recall ever creating an AIM account and wouldn't know how to do so for my in-laws.
So here are a couple of questions I am struggling with (and given my departure date later this week would like to resolve quickly) :
- Does screensharing work in Messages between iCloud accounts ?
- What is Bonjour ? Why do I need it ? (seems a bit of blurry on the web as far as I can find)
- What do I need an AIM account for ? Was this created automatically on my own Mac at SnowLeopard time ? Should I create one for my in-laws and if so how ?
- Is chatting over bonjour / AIM possible on iPad / iPhone ? or will the conversations re

Hi
- Does screensharing work in Messages between iCloud accounts ?
Yes and No
The No is as an iMessage account.
If the Apple ID is an Apple Issued one (@Mac.com and @me.com) then it can be added as an AIM account and will Screen Share
- What is Bonjour ? Why do I need it ? (seems a bit of blurry on the web as far as I can find)
Bonjour is Apple's Zero configuration method of finding other Macs, Bonjour enabled items like Printers and some PCs running Bonjour enabled apps.
These show up in the Share in the Finders Side bar.
This shows up as the Computer name (See System Preference > Sharing)
Within iChat/Messages (if Enabled) then you can see other people with Bonjour Enabled on their iChat or Messages.
In iChat or Message the Buddy Name is taken from the Address Book (Contacts in Mountain Lion) My Card.
You will see what other people call themselves in their Card, they will see what you call yourself.
It will do all that a AIM or Jabber accounts can do except Group Text chats.
- What do I need an AIM account for ? Was this created automatically on my own Mac at SnowLeopard time ? Should I create one for my in-laws and if so how ?
Messages added iMessages to iChat to create an iChat+ type app
Before in iChat AIM and Jabber were the main services that you could use to send messages to other people.
Some Apple IDs ending with @mac.com or @me.com are valid AIM names
(You do have to keep the password to 16 characters or less (AIM Server limit)
iCLoud issues @me.com names will not work in iChat 5 or earlier
iChat 6 and Messages have a Dual login to AIM and Me.com that allows AIM to "see" the password.
It might be the case that you had or have an email valid Apple ID from earlier that now appears in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and has been marked as valid for Messages when you only previously used it for Mail.
You could create your relatives an Apple ID (keep the password to 16 characters or less) from iCloud and both use "AIM" to then do the Screen Sharing.
You can also register a Name with AIM themselves.
Creating the Apple ID tends to Hard Code an external to Apple Email address to that Account but the name is then a valid Email.
AIM can use an email as the name. You can create a name with AIM without listing an email as the name and you then enter this as a plain Username in the Add section of Messages.
You realistically still need to list a separate email for Verification and Password Recovery but you can use the same email over and over and create as many names as you like.
- Is chatting over Bonjour / AIM possible on iPad / iPhone ? or will the conversations re
Bonjour is only used on a LAN (Local chats in the same premisses)
iPad and iPhones are not Bonjour Enabled.
AIM text chat are possible on an iPad/iPhone to a Computer.
The simplest is the iPad logs in with an AIM name via a web Browser and use AIM Express.
The Name used would have to be either @mac.com or an AIM one as an @me.com from iCloud could not get the password checked this way.
The Mac uses Messages/iChat depending on OS and iChat version.
However between iPhones/iPads and a computer the iMessages account is easier.

Toggle how? What are you doing? Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV? That is the whole point of AppleTV. It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
it becomes an issue.
What does? What is the issue? What specifically fails or does not work?

I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

What Apple ID did you use to upgrade your computer? It would be that one. You can check the site below.

Have apple tv on Mac but not working on PC

Have Apple TV on Mac and sees it but now loaded itunes on PC and it cann ot see it. Can I only have the apple TV seen on 1 computer?. PC running windows 7, Please help

no it should work
if I were you I'd first get the sharedLib on the mac avaible on the pc
then I would get the sharedLib on the pc avaible on the mac
when you managed that the appletv should have no problems
but for troubleshooting it's easier to keep out of the equetion
most likely it's a setup issue on your pc with itunes, firewall or the apple services not running correctly

Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

Thanks for the help
I submitted my feedback and it reads "Hi Apple, My family owns an Ipod Shuffle, 2 Nanos, 2 iphones, one ipad and the AppleTV. However, I have an HP laptop. Why? I want the features of both the laptop and the ipad but am not willing to convert to the MAC book until the ipad and the mac book merge together as one. Is this even a possibility? I know you could create it in a split second. Why do you think you haven't? I get sick of unclicking the ipad from my cheap keyboard and then having it all cluttered up right by my laptop. If the mac book had a touch screen and it could flip the keyboard upside down (like the clam case does) so that I could use a laptop like an ipad then I would be on cloud 9. No pun intended. In fact, why don't you just call the thing "Cloud9." Just sayin'"
It would be cool if they were creating it right now. I would be all over it.

Reference book? Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials

Can anybody comment on this book by Peachpit press?
Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition
I am looking to get a decent reference book for the workings of 10.5. I'm not looking to get Apple certified, but would like to be able to troubleshoot and learn about the OS.
Are there any other books I should be considering?
Thanks in advance.

I spent some time at Borders last night and ended up buying Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition.
The Missing Manual looked like a great book, but I wanted something that had more depth of what is going on behind the scenes. Most of what is covered in the missing manual are front-end stuff like all of the apps, finder, dock, etc. There is one small section on unix which barely scratches the surface.
I liked the support essentials book because it goes in to details on administration including troubleshooting, start-up sequences, networking, etc.
Thank you for the recommendation.

Hi cbafiero,
It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

What is the full text of the message that you are getting ?
Messages about countries usually refer to the country that you have on your iTunes account. You have your correct billing address on your account, and you are in that country ? If you can't log into your account directly on your phone to view/correct your address details (e.g. via Settings > iTunes & App Store), then can you do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com ?
