Apple tv and mbp

im on my mbp and want to watch a podcast on apple tv but when i use apple tv's remote it's not also controling apple tv but its also hooked up to my mbp... however thats a nifty feature but is ther a way i can turn it off from my mbp for now?

I am sure that I have done that correctly. Apple TV and MBP states that a remote has been paired, but still both work on both devices. Is it possible that both remotes have the same ID (by coincidence)?

  • HT1555 Two remotes - Both still work with Apple TV and MBP despite pairing

    I have a MBP (early 2011 13") and Apple TV. Therefore, I paired one remote with my MBP and the other remote with Apple TV. Both parings have been successfull (chain icon) but still both remotes can be used on both devices. How can I resolve this issue? (and no, I don't want to disable the IR on my MBP)

  • External Speakers, Apple TV and MBP

    I hope someone can help me.  I've got 2 issues that are probably related having to do with audio output.  #1: when I connect bluetooth enabled external speaker to iTunes on my MacBook Pro, the speaker broadcasts sounds from my computers internal built in speakers and #2; when I use my MBP while watching Apple TV, regardless of the audio output device, my laptop seems to be talking to the TV volume.  While I'm typing on the computer, the sound on the TV goes up and down.  If anyone has ideas about how to sever the audio relationships between these various devices so they don't all affect one another, I'd be grateful.  Thanks.

    For anyone still following this post.  I had the same question and was disappointed that Apple hasn't fixed this, yet.  Then, I found this site, http://www.getporthole.com/ , and am currently using the software.  It seems to work just fine.  I've tested on my Mac running Mavericks and my sister-in-law's mac running 10.6.8.
    Hope it helps out.  Maybe Apple will build this in one day.    

  • Can I download FCPX on my imac and MBP using the same apple ID?

    Hello,  I am just wondering how it works with mac store apps.    I use both my imac and MBP for my work.   Will I have to re buy FCPX for both, or can I use it on both with the same apple id?   This works with apps on my 2 iphones and ipad, but I was not sure about imac and MBP.  
    Thank for any info you can give

    Don't mention it. Although I'm one of those dispised Americans. Worse yet, I come here for four or five months then leave. Then I tell all our American friends awful lies about Canadians.

  • My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card.  I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card.  However, iMacs did.  Any suggestions?

  • Apple Care and 1st generation MBP-Should you get it?

    So, how many of you have got Apple Care?
    I have a 1st generation MBP (I got one a few weeks after they came out).
    Mine still has the whine, but I’m able to silence it with the mirror widget which I’ve been using for nearly a year. (I realize this can now be fixed, but I can’t send my computer off for repair for any length of time).
    $349.00 for Apple Care is a lot of money—heck, these days you can buy a brand new PC laptop for this kind of money (albeit a bad one, but whatever).
    I’m a little worried of having problems because my MBP is a first generation and it has had the problems we all have heard about on this forum (heat, whine, bad battery, warped lid, etc).
    My thinking is, if I DON’T get Apple Care and I need to get my MBP fixed, and it costs MORE than $349, wouldn’t it just be worth it to get a new computer if it needs THAT kind of work? AND, who here thinks that there could possibly be a repair that would warrant $349?
    How many of you people with 1st generation MBPs have had problems and actually utilized Apple Care? I know a lot of us are getting close to the ONE YEAR mark and need to make a decision if we’re going to thrown down $349 or not.
    Just looking for good insight, knowledge, statistics and/or opinions on the subject to help make the best decision.
    Thanks.

    I went for the Apple Care contract on my original PB17" that I got in 2003 and was glad I did. I bought the contract, oh, about 8 months into the first year's warranty.
    I never had super major problems with it, but everything little thing that happened made it worthwhile.
    For example:
    (1) I started hearing "clicks" coming from my hard drive about 18 months into ownership. Apple replaced the HD with no questions asked.
    (2) I had some problems with the power adapter after about 2 1/2 years. Apple sent me a new one.
    I don't know if it came to $300 worth of stuff or not, but it probably did in total. And it was reassuring.
    I have a question about those extended credit card warranties though, since somebody mentioned it.
    I bought my new MBP with a credit card that offers "one extra year on any product that is warrantied for three years or less".
    I assume that means that I get two years now instead of 1 on my standard warranty.
    But does that also mean I would get FOUR years instead of 3 if I go for the Apple Care warranty?
    And how do those usually work? Like if I have to replace the LCD I shell out, what? A thousand dollars and the credit car company pays me back?

  • Hi, i have a MBP 13, late 2012. Its over an year old since purchase and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure requiring replacement worth£350

    Hi, i have a macbookpro 13, late 2012. I bought it last year october and its an year old and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot, so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure and needs replacement worth £350. The tech at apple store gave no explanation, why suddenly, my computer decided not to start at all and said to me it was a logic board failure for no apparent reason and requires replacement. I have maintained the laptop in a pristine condition. Now I feel I have been cheated. This clearly means the product is substandard as a £1100 laptop is not expected to fail in just over a year. My last laptop PC which was worth £450 served me for 4 years before it crashed and lived for another 2 years until I decided to get a mac. This is ridiculous. I don't have apple care at the moment which translates as pay to get it fixed. Anybody in my situation ? I want to sue apple for selling me a substandard good . Any thoughts? Should I go for another pc for £500 because there is no guarantee even after the laptop were fixed by apple for £350 it would last for another year. I need a reliable machine.

    This morning my MBP just woke up from sleep and is working without any glitches. I don't know what to say about this.

  • When opening my MBP, all that shows is the apple logo and the forbidden sign

    Hello everyone,
    So I'm on a 2011 MPB using 10.9.5.
    I've closed it after using two nights ago, and when I came back home the day after and tried opening it, all that appeared was an alternation between the apple logo and the forbidden sign (here it is : http://stickeramoi.com/3447-3369-large/autocollant-panneau-interdit-interdiction .jpg)
    I've tried repairing the disk but that failed.
    Tried also re-installing OS X on it but that took about 17 hours (which is ridiculous) so I've cancelled that and instead, tried restoring a Time Machine save.
    After it finished restoring the latest backup, I'm still faced with the same problem. It just won't boot.
    Thank you for your time and help,

    Yeah well I think I've tried about everything that I found out there.
    From console commands to installing Lion through Internet recovery...That's it, I give up
    Will take it for replacement tomorrow.
    Thank you

  • I just turned on my Apple Macbook pro. Whenever, I turn it on, the progress bar comes with the Apple symbol and after few secs, it turns off by itself. Have tried to turn on the MBP number of times but the same result

    I just turned on my Apple Macbook pro. Whenever, I turn it on, the progress bar comes with the Apple symbol and after few secs, it turns off by itself. Safe mode on start up does not work either...any ideas?

    i tried it with both. i have since tried control+R, (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3730727?start=0&tstart=0) which appears to be doing something but wont let me repair anything..

  • Apple remote and built-in trackpad stop responding

    I have a Macbook Pro - late 2011 - and have upgraded to Mountain Lion the day it was released. I bought a brand new Apple remote and paired it with my MBP. Today, as usual, I used an HDMI cable to connect my MBP to a LED TV and started giving a lecture based on a Keynote presentation I created full of videos snippets and the like that I sometimes pause using the remote. All of a sudden the remote - which had been previously paired with my computer - stopped responding. I immediately switched to the arrow keys on the keyboard and finished the lecture. I also noticed that the built-in trackpad had stopped responding to multiple gestures.
    Has anyone been experiencing these problems? And is there a solution? I have searched high and low, but to no avail.
    TIA

    Found a solution!!!
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Now eveything is working as expected!

  • Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

    When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple  to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

  • My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues

    I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue.  All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues.  I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues.  Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad.  Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
    I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase).  After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it.  I waited for a Technician.  They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product).  It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had.  So, they have swapped it for a new box.  Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store.  I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
    1.  The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
    2.  Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth.  I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
    3.  They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals.  On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time.  Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
    Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software.  It worked fine and have tested all of the options.  From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
    Will wait to see....if it continues to work....

    I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

  • Is it safe/secure to enter one's apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?

    Is it safe/secure to enter one's Apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?
    I would imagine this applies to any iOS mobile device.  I need to set up a video conference at a local library meeting room.  I was going to use my MacBook Pro and Facetime.  When I open Facetime on my MBP, it prompts me for my  Apple id and password. If I were to enter it when connected to a pulic wifi, is the transmission of my account info visible?
    What about when connecting to something like an Optimum Online hotspot where I need a username and password to access the wifi? Is that any more secure?
    Thanks

    Thanks.  I had heard stories of Apple ids and passwords being stolen when using pulic wi fi.
    Thanks again.
