Apple TV application

     I was thinking that the simplicity of the 1st gen Apple TV, for things like storing movies and even purchasing movies and music straight from the iTunes store are the things that really made it worth it to me in the first place. I do love the additions of AirPlay in particular and even Netflix and MLB are cool even though I do not use them personally.
     This is my suggestion, and if I were a better programmer I would just create it and submit it to Apple directly, I have been furiously working to get a Mac Mini to work as a truly great Media server. I have had nothing but problems with this process. I have tried every media center solution out threre that is compatible with Mac OS, ie. Plex, XBMC, Boxee, and many other different variations. Every variation has limitations, limitations that in my opinion are all solved by a combination of both versions of the Apple TV. Storage capacity and ablitily to purchase full movies on the Old ATV, the ability to rent and stream to via AirPlay, as well as the additional widgets of the New ATV. The only thing that I see that is still missing and is very important to some although would defete Apple's best interestes is HULU. However there is a desktop app downloadable for the Mac Mini. I know that all of this can be done with the Mac Mini individually through Front Row (which is going away in Lion) and iTunes, however the user interface is not there in iTunes (the use of the Remote), and Front Row does not offer the ability to rent or purchase (not even the plug in's like UnderStudy)
     Anyway would an Application for Mac OS be so difficult for the genius' at Apple to figure out that would include all these things. It would basically be the new user interface updated back to the original Front Row, with App's that are updatable as downloads (then we can pick and choose what to add and take away, some people love You Tube others don't care {wouldn't it be nice to remove it from the menu?}).
     These are just my thoughts, hopes, and dreams. I would love to get into it more with someone that is willing to listen. I have been a avid mac supporter for about 15 years (still have most of the many mac's I have owned, as well as all the other great Apple products ie. iPhone, iPad, Apple TV{both versions}).

You can use the remote app to control the Apple TV, you appear to be using it to control your iTunes library currently. Using the remote app with the Apple TV will give you all the features of the Apple TV that you have with the standard remote.

    I am now getting an error message that says that Apple Support Application is not found error 2 (windows 5).  It is listed in the installed programs and I have repaired it.
    I am out of options.  And help would be appreciated.

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Issues with Apple's Application Loader

    I have been having some issues delivering my ePub to iBooks through Apple's Application Loader device. I've contacted Adobe, who says my file is fine. Then Apple, who says there is an issue with my file. Then back to Adobe, who says their help ends with inDesign. Then back to Apple, who says I have to talk to Adobe.
    Ever since kicking us publishers off Adobe DPS, I have been having unanswered issues with producing iBooks, which is the way that we have to produce inDesign files now. Namely, I get an issue saying an image, that isn't in my inDesign file, is too big to upload to Application Loader.
    Has anyone had similar issues? Please help?

    Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen?  i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.  That way you won't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to access an applicaton you use most often.

    Yes. Just select and hold until the app starts to jiggle and then you can move it.

  • Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you

    Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you for downloading iTunes'' but I don't find it in my system.
    I have tried all suggested option to solve it but all in vain. Please help me to get rid of this problem

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • How to reinstall my "Apple Store Application"?

    Hi
    My "Apple Store Application" is deleted/removed from my Iphone 3GS. I need to reinstall it.
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Pravin

    Not possible to delete any of the applications included with the firmware/OS, but it is possible to hide some of the included applications to prevent access via Restrictions.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Is Restrictions on?
    If so, is Installing Apps enabled as a restriction?
    If Restrictions is not on, how many full home pages of apps do you have available?

  • I have downloaded the latest Itunes and now I can't launch it because I don't have Apple Support application. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled three or four times with the same error code 2 On vista, how can this be fixed?

    Where do I download Apple Support Application for Itunes?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • The apple email application fails to open

    The apple email application on my macbook air seem to have crashed. The last time it worked it froze on attempt to send an email attachment and refused to close. I tried forced shut down, which eventually closed it. Since then it has not been functional. Please advice. Thank you.

    hello warnerm, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version which will be addressed in the release candidate 1 build which should be deployed via auto-updates to beta users tomorrow.
    a workaround for the moment would be to enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name '''browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL''' and value '''https://sb-ssl.google<i></i>.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%'''
    for reference see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057764 bug #1057764] (please don't post in bug reports, but vote for the bug if you want to see it fixed)

    I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me

    Malek,
    Facetime for iphone is not available in the App Store because it is already built into any iphone that is FaceTime compatible, and I think that includes iphone 4.  You should be able to find Facetime amongst the other built in applications that came with it.  However, it is possible that if it was purchased in certain countries where Facetime is not allowed, the App was not included.
