Apple TV Control Methods

Howdy all,
Is there any way to control the Apple TV via ethernet? I'm aware that the typical method of control is the IR port, but I'd love to stick on of these in my closet and control it via an automation program. I have the ability to write the necessary driver if its possible. Anyone know how I would go about finding what the commands are?
I know I can use some form of IR emitter to achieve this, but nothing is as good as a nice hardwired solution that never drops a command.
Thanks,
Mark

I'm aware that there's no documented method for controlling it via ethernet, but with devices I've seen that have an IR port and an ethernet port, you can replicate the IR commands via ethernet. I appreciate the responses and don't mean to be argumentative, but I'd rather not give up so easily. Are you both certain that it can't be done, or you certain that it hasn't been done to date and you aren't sure how.
If Apple wants this to become a fixture in the living room this is a pretty important feature. Centralized control schemes are plummeting in price, and are far more reliable than IR based control. Apple gains nothing by locking users into IR based control when the device functions over the internet. I would hesitate to say that the guys over at Crestron have already figured out how to control it via ethernet.

NAC Port Control Method : MAC or Linkup ?

Hi,
We are running OOB Virtual-GW and I'm wondering what control method you people are using ? MAC notification or Link-Up notification ?
Our Cisco engineer told us to use MAC-Notif but I would like to have your thought about this ...
Right now we are using Link-Up and we are experiencing problems... especially with the delay being too long before port is switch back to Auth VLAN...
Thanks.
Dominic

Bind an inputFile value to a data control methods parameter

Hello I am trying to create a InputFile (ADF Faces) which is linked to a data control method. The method reads a specified file and returns the content which is then displayed in table form.
 
I have a filereader Class with the following method:
public List<FileInQuestion> returnFileContents(String fileName)
 
I have created a data control based on this Class. From the JSF page, under the data control palette I can drag on may parameter 'FileName' (as input text) and my method (as command button) and finally the return type 'FileInQuestion' (as read only table). This all works fine and when I type a filename in and hit the button it displays the contents in a table.
 
Now the problem is that I want to base the input parameter on the value of the InputFile component. But when I drag and drop the 'fileName' parameter onto the canvas, it doesn't give me the option to create as an input file!
 
Please could someone tell me how I manually link (bind) the inputFile component to the 'fileName' parameter?
 
Sorry if a bit long winded!!
 
Thanks Dan

Thanks Frank but I need to get at the text value returned from the inputfile component. I did what you said with the following results:
 
I started with a inputtext field, command button and read only table. When I entered a value (in this case 'C:\data\contacts.txt' ) into the inputtext field and hit the command button the table displayed the expected results (for logic please see my 1st post).
 
I then convert the inputtext component to a inputfile component in the way you suggested. I now rerun the application, browse to the same file and hit the command button, and then nothing!! no results.
 
I'm I missing something here?
 
Thanks

Apple remote control

I bought the apple remote control for my mac, but it's not working. I checked the systems preferences to enable the IR, but that option wasn't there. I read that some macs don't have infrared option which is needed to use the control. The remote was advertised to work with macs - am I missing something???

The 2012 and 2013 iMacs do not have an IR receiver.
The 2011 iMacs were the last iMacs to have a built in IR receiver and IR remote control.
If you own an iDevice, there are apps that work either over WiFi or Bluetooth to control your iMac.
For another type of WiFi hardware device, look at these.

Period Control Method 01 and 03 Mid Month Convention

Hi All,
I am trying to create two different depreciation keys.
One is with Period rule 01 i.e Pro rata at period start date. Example. If I create an asset any time during the month, the ordinary start depreciation should start at the beginning of the month.
Secondly another deprecation key with period rule 03 i.e. prorata at mid period. Meaning that the ordinary start deprecation date should be from 15 of the month.
I activate the " Use of Half Months in the Company Code" then the deprecation key with prorata at period start date is behaving like pro rata at mid period.
Example:
I created an asset that was capitalized 5/18. For book depreciation the start date should be 5/1 and for tax it should be 5/15. Both of the areas are showing 5/15. have i missed something?

Issue Resolved
Steps:
1. In transaction OAVS define a new Per control (Z1).
2. In transaction OAVH create the following: My fiscal year is from Aug-July
3. Update transaction AFAMP, create a new period control method and assign it Z1/Z1/Z1/Z1
4. Finally update the period control in the book depreciation key AFAMP.

Z1     At period start date              1     31     5
Z1     At period start date              2     28     6
Z1     At period start date              3     31     7
Z1     At period start date              4     30     8

How do I get my purchased apps back - after changing my Apple ID & Payment Method.

I can't seem to find any of the apps that I downloaded + purchased before updating my Apple ID & payment method.
I got an Ipad mini retina on Dec. 1st and signed on with my Apple ID and purchased a few apps to use.
The Ipad mini also asked me for my payment information again, but I entered in a different CC#, which updated my payment method to that CC#.
So, I just got an Ipad Air today and tried to restore that Ipad Air from the cloud, but my Apple ID is only showing app downloads and purchases from Dec. 15 and on.
My question is ...
How do I get my apps back? Who would I talk to?
I'm pretty sure I've only used one Apple ID, but all these new iOs devices and accounts are confusing the heck out of me.

Does this mean you Created a NEW Apple ID..?
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

How do I change an Apple ID payment method to 'None'? I've tried everything and the only solution is to get a new e-mail and start all over again. Any other options?

Buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

Apple Remote Control and Plex

Yesterday, I installed Plex to see if I would enjoy it as much as Front Row, which I use constantly. I haven't upgraded to Lion because I don't want to lose Front Row. Now, as a result, my Apple Remote control no longer works. I uninstalled Plex, but the remote still won't work. Any suggestions?

Apple remote control and PB 17"

I have my laptop hooked up to my TV. I play quicktime and others video media though it to my TV. The Laptop is far from where i sit so to Fast Forward or pause or anything I have to get up and control it from the Laptop.
Is there a way to get the apple remote control to work with the PB 17" sonce it doesnt have a remote sensor like the new macbook pros do? Or any type of remote control or way to do this?
I want to be able to control the media from about 20 feet away (Lazy I know but in theis day and age... )
Thanks,
Joe

Keyspan makes several remotes:

As for Front Row compatibility, I don't think that's there, because it would have to break the license from Mac OS X. Equinux makes a nice software like Front Row called MediaCentral:

I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo

Good work, thanks for the report.

Apple Remote controll doesn't work

hi there.
I have read, that the Apple Remote Controll, that can be used for things like iPhoto & iTunes can also be used to controll Logic 8, starting and stopping playback ... .
Doesn't work at my system. Is there anything i have to setup? Have heared it should work by default.
thx for help

In iTunes 8:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Devices tab. Make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
In iTunes 7:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Select the General tab beneath it, and make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
You also want to be sure that both devices (the computer and the iPod) are connected to the same wireless network.

Apple remote controler on Book Pro retinal display

I was give an older Apple remote control to use on my MacBook Pro retinal. It is not a bluetooth one I guess ( white, smaller and black on tip).
Can it be used?
I did not find any setting for it in system preferences.

Had not realy thought about using an iphone,ipod touch or a ipad!
Mostly a destop geek, except for a Asus laptop I use for church work.
Had a unfavorable experience with a bluetooth ear piece a few years back, started out ok then it always dropping connections, then dead to charge when I did need it..
Will have to set time to play I guess !
Thanks again to mende 1 and cbs 20 for your inputs and my education on the macbook pro and bluetooth.

OS X Lion and Apple remote control problem

After installing OS X Lion my apple remote control no longer works properly. The menu wont come up on the screen, but it plays music if you press the buttons, but you are riding blind, can anyone help on this one?

It's not a problem with the remote, the problem is that Lion no longer has FrontRow.

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.
