can you use apple tv to browse the internet?

can you use apple tv to browse the internet?
No. The ATV does not have a web browser. There is a limited selection of podcasts and video from YouTube available from the menu, but that's about it.

  • HT1947 I just installed apple tv and want to connect my iPad to apple tv to browse the internet on my tv

    I am trying to use my iPad to communicate with the apple tv I just purchased, do I need AirPlay and if so is it a free app

    Airplay is not an app, it's built-in. However, what are you are referring to (i.e. browsing the internet) is mirroring.
    This requires iPad 2 (or later)

  • Can I browse the internet with my Apple TV?

    I have an older ATV, maybe 3 years old, can I browse the internet with it and if so, how??

    If you have an iPad 2 (or later), iPhone 4s (or later), iPod Touch 5. You can use mirroring.
    You can also mirror a recent Mac or use airparrot on older hardware or PC

  • I'm unable to browse the internet at home on my Macbook Pro (10.6.3), even though it shows I am connected to the wireless network with full bars.

    This problem began weeks ago, when I suddenly couldn't browse the Internet at home despite being fully connected to the network. The network was a private, password-protected wireless network set up through a Netgear router.
    I have spent hours troubleshooting and have tried multiple fixes including resetting PRAM, deleting and re-creating Airport, deleting and re-creating networks, changing IP and DNS, etc. to no avail. My roommate's PC works perfectly fine on the same wireless network.
    This seems to be an issue with networks I use long-term. I can connect fine to networks at Starbucks, etc. for short-term use. Also, while trying to troubleshoot my connection issues on my home network over the last few weeks, I'd been using my apartment complex's public wireless connection (no password) with no issues. All of a sudden, I am having the same exact issue with that network. It's like something just snaps and maybe gets configured wrong after a few weeks or months of use.
    I am desperate to find a fix, since now I can't use the internet AT ALL while at home and need it for work.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

    My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet.  We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset."  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Mac Book Pro - while browsing the internet, i hear ads but do not see them. an ad will start talking while i am watching netflix or anything else but there is no window to close. what is this and how do i get rid of it?

    when i am browsing the internet, i use google chrome, several pop ups open in new windows and i have to constantly close them. some windows even open up and the sound of an iphone ringtone is playing and i have to click on leave this page in order to close the window. some windows open up and say my computer may be infected and suggest downloading "mac keeper" to keep my laptop safe, which i did not do. and the most annoying one is while i am watching netflix or any movie using the internet, i will hear ads playing while the movie is playing but when i go to look for an ad to close there is none. it will go on and off as the movie is playing. what should i do?!?!?!

  • Unable to browse the internet even though I'm connected the network

    I have a new iMac. I can connect to my wireless network via Airport. I can print to my wireless printer but I cannot connect to the internet using a browser (Safari or Firefox). I can ping (e.g., Google.com)successfully but can't connect via a browser. I can connect to a neighbor's unsecured network and browse the internet at will. I have WPA security activated. I have 3 PC's on my home wireless network that connect to the internet with no problem.
    I've been on the phone with both Apple and Belkin support all weekend. Apparently the router is working. Apple support has not been able to diagnose my problem. The latest suggestion by Apple technical support is to install Snow Leopard and see what happens.
    Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'm new to the iMac world. Always been a PC guy so I'm having difficulty understanding why I can connect to my network but can't browse.

    That's interesting I have a similar issue, the wireless suddenly stopped working for me.
    I get an IP address assigned, my /etc/resolv.conf file is updated correctly to DNS and I have a properly configured gateway yet I can't ping anything.
    This only started happening recently as well.
    It is odd that you can ping an address but not surf, have you tried disabling WPA security on your router and seeing if that makes a difference?

  • ITunes skips, stammers when I browse the Internet

    This didn't occur before I upgraded to 7.0+.
    I used to be able to browse the internet to my hearts content AND listen to iTunes. No longer.
    Looking through Best Buy's weekly ad? Skips.
    Searching for something on eBay? Skips.
    I don't think I should buy a second computer to listen to iTunes. I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor with 2 GB of RAM. I ought to be able to surf the web and listen to iTunes at the same time...
    Does anyone have any ideas? Apple has been unresponsive.

    This seems to be a very common problem after upgrading to iTunes 7. Apple offer this help on troubleshooting the problem:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
    Some people, like me, never completely resolve the problem. I got rid of most of the stuttering except when a large program was loading by following the above advice.
    In the end I downgraded back to 6, but this is only possible if you have an iPod that is OK on 6 and you don't want the content offered on V7.

  • Help me My N82 browses the internet in white font

    Hi Everybody
    I have a strange issue
    When I browse the internet using my N82 web browser & I am asked to fill any field on the web page the font color is in white

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My App Store keeps coming on when I browse the internet.

    My App Store keeps opening when I browse the internet?

    If you accidentally tap on a link that is for an App Store app, that will open the App Store. Try clearing Safari, close Safari and then reboot your iPad and see if that fixes this.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    In order to close Safari, Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to use your Treo 750 to browse the internet on your mac

    Hi There,
    I am by no means an expert on this, but this is what has worked for me. I'm on Vodafone in New Zealand but I think this setup (or very similar) should work with Cingular in the states or other Windows Mobile v5 devices.
    1. Install The Windows Mobile Modem Scripts Onto Your Mac
    Download the Generic Windows Mobile Modem Scripts (3 of them) from: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
    The scripts are under "Windows Smartphones & BlackBerrys" called "Scripts for Windows Mobile phones" (half way down the page)
    Once downloaded, put the scripts into >Library >Modem Scripts
    2. Start Bluetooth on the Treo
    Go >Start Menu >Settings >Connections (from the bottom) >Bluetooth
    Tick "Turn on Bluetooth"
    Tick "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
    Click OK
    3. Pair The Treo with your Mac (done on the Mac)
    If the Bluetooth menu is not already on your mac (near the date and time, top right) go to >System Preferences >Bluetooth
    Under the "settings" tab tick "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" and the menu will appear
    Once the menu is there, choose "Set up Bluetooth Device..."
    Click "Continue" and on the next screen choose "Mobile Phone". Click "Continue"
    Make sure the screen on the Treo is on (I've found the mac has trouble discovering the device otherwise)
    Choose your phone and click "Continue"
    Click continue and enter the pass code on the Treo and click "Next"
    Once pared, on the phone click "Finish"
    On the mac, make sure "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" is ticked and click "Continue"
    Enter your Vodafone (or Cingular) account username and password (see notes below)
    Under phone number enter: *99# (this invokes GPRS or the 3G data connection)
    Choose "Windows Mobile GSM 460k" from the "Modem Script" pop up menu
    Click "Continue"
    Click "Quit"
    Select the new phone from the Bluetooth Devices list and press the "Edit Serial Ports" button from the left
    Click the plus sign under the main window
    Name it "Treo750" (or Cingular or Vodafone or whatever you want)
    Choose "Modem" from the "Port type" pop up menu
    Tick "Require pairing for security" and "Show in Network Preferences"
    Click "Apply"
    4. Configure The Bluetooth Port
    Go >System Preferences >Network
    Choose "Network"
    A "New Port Detected" window should pop up, click "OK" (if it doesn't and you have a new "Bluetooth" port, don't worry)
    Select the "Bluetooth" port from the list and click "Configure"
    Under the PPP tab, click the "PPP Options" button from the bottom
    Untick "Send PPP echo packets" and "Use TCP header compression" under "Advanced Options"
    Click "OK"
    Click the "Apply Now" button from the bottom right
    Close System Preferences
    5. Connecting to browse the internet from the mac
    Go >Applications >Internet Connect
    Click "Bluetooth" from the top
    Tick "Show modem status in menu bar"
    Quit internet connect
    Make sure the Treo is on and bluetooth is on (and your data connection is on, see notes below)
    Go up to the internet connect menu (the little phone icon) and select "Connect"
    Notes
    For the carrier account name and password, I just used the same account info that was on my phone under >Start >Settings >Connections >Connections Icon >Manage existing connections >Edit "VFNZ Internet" (or your carrier name) >Next Screen >Next Screen >Next Screen. On this third screen, I found my account details.
    If for you there is nothing, then more than likely your carrier doesn't require a name and password - so on your Mac, leave these fields blank and just enter *99# for the phone number. Although, I think you may have to use something (for Mac & Windows Mobile compatibility) so just try entering username: guest and password: guest. There is much more info regarding this in the readme file that comes with the Windows Mobile modem scripts. Or contact your carrier for your specific details (probably the best thing to do!).
    I have found the connection to be a little bit unreliable when the Treo's screen goes to sleep - so I tend to hit a button on the treo every 30 seconds to keep it on - But Vodafone here in NZ has flashed the ROM to make it HSDPA compatible so others may not have this problem.
    I had trouble the first time I tried to connect through internet connect. But after I connected through >System Preferences >Network >Bluetooth >Connect button next to the configure button at the bottom, it worked every time from the Internet Connect menu.
    Also, you may want to check your email or browse a page on the Treo first, just before connecting from your mac to make sure the data connection is on - I haven't worked this out fully but I'm not sure the Mac can open the data connection itself. Again, this may be a region/carrier specific issue.
    Cheers
    Ben
    Macbook, Treo 750v (Vodafone)    

    I've also found The Missing Sync to work much better than Pocket Mac for syncing the Treo to the Mac.

  • Why or how could firefox change my proxy settings without me doing anything right in the middle of browsing the internet?

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    While I was browsing the internet suddenly nothing would happen when I clicked a link. Upon closing and opening firefox and trying to load a web page it said "the proxy server is refusing connection. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."
    I did manage to fix the problem by changing the proxy settings from manual to auto-detect but what disturbs me is how those settings could be changed without me doing so right in the middle of using the internet. I dont know if its a bug or a security issue but I thought I would let you guys know.

    Your extensions list shows an enabled "Torbutton 1.2.5" extension, so it is possible that that extension is responsible for that change.
