Apple TV and Panasonic

I am thinking of buying Apple TV, I own a Panasonic Vizio HD Tv 55 inch, with wireless access. On the Vizio I am able to access Amazon Video. I know Apple TV does not allow access to Amazon, however with Apple TV would I be able to access amazon through my Panasonic connection to the internet? I don't mind using itunes, but I do have a sizable amazon library.

appletv does not know you have a smarttv
appletv does not replace or interfere with your smarttv's features
when you choose appletv's hdmi port as active input source you access appletv and what it provides
when you choose say an playstation or xbox or blueray player as active input source the appletv is dorment and may as well be turned off
when you use your tv's smarttv features with amazon or the likes same deal
the appletv does not taker over your tv it's a setop box

  • Apple TV and Pioneer 50in Plasma

    Hi All
    This is my first time posting here. I just purchased an Apple TV and have tried to connect it up. I have a pioneer set top box, pioneer DVD player and recorder and pioneer Receiver. I can see an HDMI plug on the receiver but when I connect it nothing happens. With the DVD recorder and Set top box I can’t seem to find the HDMI input. I am hoping someone can help me out here, as I have seen great reviews about the Apple TV.
    Thanks for your time.
    Cheers

    OK, just to follow up. I hav similar problem to OP. Hooked up ATV via HDMI to Panasonic TV, but get no sound.
    After reading up (and contrary to the hipster at the Apple Store), I believe I need to run an optical audio cable from ATV to my Pioneer receiver, right?
    Question is: Where do I connect the audio cable on the receiver?
    Thanks,

  • Mac Pro and Panasonic DV

    Have just got a Mac Pro (and am also new to Macs). I have a two year old Panasonic NV-GS15 digital video camera attached via firewire, I can't pick up the camera at all...in i-movie, Final Cut Pro (5.1) or even see it when looking under the firewire port. Have been on Panasonic website and the driver information I found was related to PC/Windows. Have emailed Panasonic but they aren't replying.
    Any suggestions/answers/wishes of luck?

    I have same problem with Mac Pro and Panasonic PV-GS120. I went to Apple store and tried Mac Pros over there and they all had the problem. PowerBooks (G4 and Intel) as well as iMacs can all see the camcoder fine and iMovie imports clips without problems. System Profiler does not show any FireWire devices once the camcoder is attached Mac Pro and /var/log/system.log reports that FireWire has been reset multiple times in the last minute. I've filled in the form to escalate issue to Apple but I have no idea when the issues is going to be addressed.

  • Side by Side: Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom in S.F.

    Below is info on a first ever (?) head to head comparison of Aperture vs Lightroom presented by Schorr & Hogarty. Should be a great meeting. If you are in Nor-Cal, check it out;
    March 13 in S.F. http://www.asmpnorcal.org/events/event.html
    Side by Side: Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom
    Speakers:
    Tom Hogarty, Product Manager for Lightroom, Adobe Systems
    Joseph Schorr, Product Manager for Aperture, Apple Computer
    This Tuesday join us and the designated gurus from Adobe and Apple
    for a lively evening as we jump headlong into both Aperture and
    Lightroom and discover the nuts and bolts of how these applications
    work. You'll learn how these programs were designed from the
    ground up for media photographers from the guys who helped design
    them.

    Wow, maybe this is what Schorr meant by "VERY soon" in this post in this thread on March 10th.
    "Actually, Apple has annouced that Aperture support for the Pentax K10D, K100D, and K110D will be available very soon.
    We will also be adding support for 11 other RAW formats from different cameras, including the Nikon D40, Leica Digilux 3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1, Samsung GX-1L, and seven of the Leaf Aptus and Valeo models.
    Can't publish a release date, but this update will be coming VERY soon.

    If so, as a Pentax k10D owner, I will be happily cleaning Lightroom of my machine and moving ahead with Aperture!

  • Apple TV3 and network drive

    I like Home Share, but when is Apple going to give us Apple TV owners an option to stream our privately owned content from a network drive?  My Panasonic Blu-ray player does this, why not Apple TV.  Please add this option to Apple TV in the next firmware update?  Please?  Can somebody from Apple please respond to my request and maybe suggest this option to Apple for future firmware updates?  Please?  Home Share is cool, but I have to keep my power hungry computer running 24/7.  It would be nice to add a 2 drive raided NAS to my network and stream content to my home theater from said NAS, while using my Apple TV.  NAS drives only use a few watts from the wall, so this would save on my electricity bill. 

    The only way currently to do this is to jailbreak your apple tv and run XBMC on it.  It can be a little tricky to set up but it is possible.  I agree, this should work out of the box.  It is not clear why Apple is resisting this add-on.  Most folks don't have an extra computer that they can leave running for content sharing.  If they do, its an old one that is too slow to do this.'
    Probably not what you wanted to hear, but the truth.

  • Transfer and log with mixed formats (Canon 5D and Panasonic GF1)

    I've transferred and logged files from 2 cameras (Canon 5D and Panasonic GF1).
    Everything was brought in at Apple Pro Res.
    I was surprised to find that I could edit 25 FPS video (from the Canon 5D) in the timeline with the GF1 (the GF1 shoots at 30 FPS).
    Am I missing something here? I thought that I'd have to go through an extra step to get them to work together, but everything seems fine.
    Also, the GF1 is at 720.
    Is it going to look bad or not edit well together in the timeline later?
    I'm new at this FCP tapeless thing. Should I be worried about how I brought this in?
    Cheers,

    Although fcp will mix framerates in the same timeline, you will not get the best quality letting fcp make "automated" decisions.   If you're happy with the way they look, you may be ok, but I would do a test in the final form your program will be taking.  So if you're end use is a video for the web with specific settings, do a test export.  If you are going to be outputting in an interlaced format, do a test and view it on an interlaced monitor, in this format as this is an area where you may see problems.
    Also, there might be problems if you are going to finish your audio in another program dealing with material in varying frame rates.
    Personally, I almost always convert all material to one format (codec, pixel dimensions and frame rate) before editing.  It's just safer.  Although things will sometimes work ok without doing this, you are taking chances. 
    If you decide to do the conversion, I'd recommend doing it in compressor where there are options in "frame controls" and "geometry" which will give you tremendous control over the quality.

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE  ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

    I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
    I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
    Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
    Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • HT2534 I have three Apple IDs and would like to combine them all into one, can I do that and how?

    When I started buying Apple products I did not realize how important it was to keep the same Apple ID and Password for all of the device.  As a result I have four Apple ID's.  I would like to only have one Apple ID for all my devices.  Is this possible and what do I ave to do to make it happen?  I appreciate any help you might be able to give me.  Thanks

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.

  • HT2589 We have purchase 5 apple minis and would like them all on one account.  That way we can monitor the use of these units.  they will be used strickly for a business application.  can I use one account in itunes or must i have multiple.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • I have two Apple IDs, and this is causing problems with syncing via iCloud. How do I move everything to one ID? All advice is for setting up, not for after it's already set up.

    My problem is that I have been a Mobile Me user for the past couple of years, and because of that a second Apple ID was generated in addition to the one I've been using for years. When iCloud was introduced last fall I did everything I was supposed to in setting it up, but it is evident that the syncing is not working as it should. In checking, I am certain this is because I now have two active Apple IDs. I would assume this is a common issue with all who were/are Mobile Me users.
    The online help says you can't merge two IDs. Okay. What I want to do is to get rid of the Moble Me ID and only use my regular Apple ID. But the help on that issue seems to only give instructions for setting up the iCloud account. It seems that when I go into my iCloud accounts, both on my iPhone and my Mac, I can view the ID but there is no way to change them to another ID or to eliminate the account.
    Please help. I am a long-time Apple user and this really should be a fairly simple matter to take care of, but this is one issue where the normally user-friendly Apple way of life is giving me fits. Thanks.

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
