Apple TV, great idea, limited application.

I can't understand why I would want an Apple TV when I can accomplish everything it offers and more with my MacBook Pro. Were Apple to add recording capabilities and a DVD burner it would be more desirable. Can someone explain to me why they own one, please?
Thanks,
Sparky

The Apple TV is the most used device thats plugged into our TV/Hi-Fi
You could do most of the stuff it does with a MacBook but it would be a pain compared to doing it with the Apple TV - my wife and 7 year old daughter both use the ATV - its all done through that one cool remote, thats why its a winner in our house.
What recording capabilities would you add and why?
record from the TV via SCART? not HD, no way...
record from an inbuilt tuner - Freeview, Freesat HD, SKY, analogue or cable??
a DVD burner for what? you can rent movies in HD - discs seem like a last resort when you've got an Apple TV.
Things get really cool when you use the iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote with the Apple TV and multi-speaker options in iTunes.
The only problem I have found is that its too easy to rent movies and buy TV shows - it all adds up.
Apple TV is very great!

Where do I send great ideas for iPhone and iTouch applications??

I have some great ideas that Apple might be interested, but how do I let them know what they are. I don't want to ring as it would be an expensive international call!
If anybody working for Apple is moderating these forums could you please contact me and let me know what to do?
Or if any of you guys know how to speak to them, leave your comment.
My app ideas are fun and enjoyable, I'm sure you will be downloading them in the near future!

You can find an app developer and let them know.
I doubt Apple will accept unsolicited ideas, but you could use their feedback link if you feel compelled to do so.

We have a great idea for an app, need some advice

my wife and i were joking around about something and she came up with a great idea for an app. we don't know anything about programming or developing so any advice on how to proceed? i guess we need to find an app maker? to propose our idea to without it being stolen. any help would be great, i scrolled thru the first 5 pages of this thread and saw nothing related. thanks.

One option is if there is a similar type of app available via the iTunes app store that you like, contact the developer for the app. Without providing much detail about your app idea, ask the developer if they would contract their services to build your app - along with regular maintenance and app updates, etc. Keep in mind that Apple makes the final decision if an app will be available via the iTunes app store - the overwhelming majority of app submittals are approved, but not all based on Apple's written requirements.

Looking for help building app! Great idea!

Hey, I have a great idea for a really fun game that could draw attention to alot of iOS users and soon become very popular. I have done some browsing in the App Store and the idea i have is not yet there.
The reason I am reaching out to the forums is because I need help:
I have no coding experience but i have all the necessary tools. I am signed up as a developer. I pay 99.99$ a year.
I would love to get this idea rolling and would love to begin to develop a team!
Would anyone like to help?
NEED:
-:Coder
-:Artist
For more information please email me at [email protected]
Thanks!
Hoping for some positive feed back!

I hope you get some positive feedback but there's a couple of things you should know:
1. Everyone who is a serious developer and already knows how to deveop apps is too busy working on their own great ideas.
2. You're about to start getting lots of spam because you posted your email address in a publicly accessable forum.

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Can a Minecraft server be created with Apple's OS X Server application?

Hello,
I have a new iMac 27", newest generation with the newest version of Mavericks. I have a question about Minecraft Servers. I previously used Hamachi to run my servers back when I used to use Windows. But now that I have a Mac, I am wondering if Apple's OS X Server application offers a good alternative to Hamachi, or if running a minecraft server on the OS X server application would actually work.
Thanks,
Casey

Yes, it can. You can simply remove the Server app, all OS X Server really is is a GUI for existing UNIX software. You don't need to reformat & reinstall.

TS1424 I keep getting a message that my ID has been disabled when trying to download an app. I have changed password I with apple. Any ideas what is wrong?

I keep getting a message that my ID has been disabled when trying to download an app. I have changed password with apple. Any ideas what is wrong?

If you've changed your password and it still shows disabled then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Contact Apple for my idea.

I got an idea for apple for which i want to be paid. How do i contact them?
