Apple TV & Hi-fi System

Hey everyone,
I'm just thinking about getting an Apple TV, but I'm not that sure how well it's working in combination with my Hi-fi System. I know that I have to buy a D/A converter for connecting them. Once I did that, how does music streaming look like from my iOS devices and Mac? Do I have to keep my television turned on in order to hear something? And if not, what's the difference to the Airport Express?
Thanks in advance

>Do I have to keep my television turned on in order to hear something?
Generally yes, but not absolutly. If ATV was already set to the music screen and you connected ATV to your sterio and from there to your TV you could play music with the TV off.
>The difference is that it also play video
Well that and Netflix, Hulu, your photos, etc.

Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

I think we need a lot more information.
Exactly what does the message say?
Exactly what files are you trying to open?
Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

Hi,
I had the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Illustrator CS6 wouldn't open. I got a message saying I should 'install legacy Java SE6 runtime'.
The link didn't work - it lead to a blank page.
So I downloaded Java8 (latest version) from Oracle but didn't install it. Something told me this was not the right way to go (the problem was with Java SE6, not 8). I then called Apple (in the Netherlands, were I live) for help. I got none. The best they could do was blaming Adobe for the problem or me, for not having the latest Adobe CC app. Rubbish.
And then, magic. I tried to open Illustrator again, got the pop up message but this time the link worked. It took me to an official Apple page, with a link to download Java for OS X 2014-001. The problem is now solved.
If curious, this is the explanation Apple gives for the problem:
'Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 or later, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'missing plug-in' to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.'

My child was on my mac and now I can't find my dock. I went to the apple menue then to system prefrences but "dock" isn't an option for me to use. Please help!

My child was on my computer and now my dock doesn't display on my screen. I checked the resources for help and it hasn't worked for me. It says to go to the apple menu, and click on the dock display. However, the "dock" isn't an option on my dropdown list. Please help!

What options are selected and deselected if you go to System Preferences and Dock?
1. click the apple logo
2. click System Preferences
3. click Dock
What's there?
It's possible your child just messed around with these settings and moved the dock to the left or right and triggered auto-hide and so forth

Apple TV/FM Radio System

Hi, I have acquired a 6500/300 which has the Apple TV/FM Radio System installed. I installed OS 8.6 and tried the TV - it tuned the TV channels OK and I got TV sound but no TV video (blank green screen), so I upgraded to 9.1 and now I have TV video but no TV sound!!! Anyone any experience of troubleshooting these things? - John.

Update: In addition to the TV/FM System software there's a Power Mac 6500 specific update you may need to get everything working. It's called the 6500 Video Input Update. Here's a link to the download: http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/CPU_ Specific_Updates/5500-6500/5500-6500_Video_InputUpdt.img.bin. It may help even if you're not running Mac OS 8.1 or earlier like the Readme states.
As proof of that some Performa 6400 owners running Mac OS 9.1 claim they still benefit from the 6360-64XX-54XX Update. That update was originally designed for Mac OS 7.5.X. Not Mac OS 9.1. It amazes me at Apple's ignorance of these important updates.
Just because they were released before Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9.1 doesn't mean those OSes won't benefit from the updates if installed on the correct model of Macintosh. I also suspect that despite its confusing model specific name the 6500 Video Input Update may also help 6400 owners struggling to get the TV/Video System and/or TV/FM System to work with Mac OS 9.1. Both Macs use IBM PowerPC 603ev processors.
The only difference between the two Macs is the speed the processors run at. The 6500 also has a bit better onboard graphics card. The only weird thing is the 6500 doesn't have 8 MB of RAM soldered to its logic board. Only the 6400 does. The 6400 has a 40 MHz bus. The 6500 has a 50 MHz bus. That's why Sonnet's G3 uprade runs at 400 MHz in a 6400 & at 500 MHz in a 6500.
Maybe my first reply wasn't clear enough. Here's a link to a page that has detailed info on the TV/FM System Mac OS 9.1 issues: http://www.zone6400.com/files/AppleTV-Videosystem.html. One of the links is a download for the TV/FM System 1.5 software itself. The link is to a web page on the 6400 Zone. If it works I would recommend you e-mail the author of the site a thank you. He's looking for feedback of other users of software like that.

Are Apple's internet payment systems vulnerable to the Heartbleed virus?

Are Apple's internet payment systems vulnerable to the Heartbleed virus that apparently has infected https connections for banks and other businesses?

If anyone were vulnerable, they would not announce it. Almost always, these announcements come from interent security firms and watchdog groups.
and if they did announce it, it would be after it was fixed.

I have an older flat panel HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection which is being used through my cable box for TV reception. I also use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II home theatre system. It has no HDMI inputs. Can I use an Apple TV with my present system? I'd prefer not hearing, "buy a new flat panel."

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

Non-Apple browsers cause cascading system hang with clean install of Lion

It started with Google Chrome. After a few hours of use, Chrome would randomly lock up one renderer at a time until it was completely unresponsive. Console showed nothing conclusive in the logs, and would soon lock up itself. Logged-in Terminal windows could sometimes get as far as a "ps auxc", but would lock up during the command output, and new Terminal windows or tabs would never get past login. The SSH daemon would be dead in the water, preventing me from logging in remotely. Any existing SSH connections would hang on the first command. Activity Monitor would lock up the moment I tried to sample a process or interact with anything. Interacting with SystemUIServer (pulling down the menu for the clock or trying to do a Spotlight search) would cause SystemUIServer to hang. Same with the Dock. My mouse was like the Midas of software failure: everything I touched turned to hang. Eventually I'd be staring at a spinning beachball. After a few (five to ten) minutes, it might perform a couple queued events (opening a window, switching to another application) but would usually become wedged again immediately, forcing me to hard restart.
I then tried installing Firefox 5, and discovered that it causes the hang fairly reliably within the first ten seconds. Since I knew when it was about to happen, I managed to capture a few stack traces in Activity Monitor, but it was always different, and always somewhere in the kernel (usually file-system related: __getattrlist while scanning fonts one time, the open system call another).
Safari, on the other hand, works great.
I've tried performing a verification of my startup disk, which returns no errors, so although I'm not ruling out hardware failure at this point the problem started immediately after I upgraded to Lion, and persisted even after I wiped my hard drive completely and performed a clean install from the recovery partition. It also doesn't seem to be completely the fault of either Chrome or Firefox, since they're different browsers with different rendering engines using different system frameworks. They do both perform a lot of file I/O, so maybe that's a clue. Another possible lead is the seemingly random errors Console will spew out while the hang is occuring. Most recently I've gotten a screenful of '--ImageKit Error: updateGLTextureWithBitmapData: glPixelStorei returned an error : 506 ...', and before that it was 'Google Chrome Helper: CGSLookupServerRootPort: Failed to look up the port for "com.apple.windowserver.active" (1100)', "kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero". Console spew being what it is, though, I don't know if any of that is relevant.
I figure I would be seeing quite a lot of angry forum threads if Chrome and Firefox were completely unusable on other people's machines, so I'm guessing there's something specific to my configuration happening here. With a clean install, though, I'm not sure what it could be. Here are detailed system specs:
24" iMac (Early 2008 -- just out of AppleCare coverage, figures) , 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, running Lion build 11A511 (which should be the 10.7 release version).
I would be massively indebted to anyone who has experienced or heard about this issue before and can give me something else to try.

Zeroing the disk serves no purpose in this situation. It is a common misconception that this is required to map out bad blocks on the drive, but the fact is that 1) modern hard drives map out bad blocks as part of everyday operation, and 2) zeroing the drive involves simply writing zeros with no checks to see if the zero was written successfully, so it wouldn't know if a block was bad anyway.
It's possible the drive is starting to go bad, although then there should be some problems with SL as well. I would recommend repartitioning the drive with Disk Utility. Make sure it's got one partition, using the GUID partition map scheme, and format that partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Repartitioning should get rid of any gremlins lurking on the disk, unless the physical disk itself is dying. And after repartitioning, install straight from the flash drive, as Shootist recommends, rather than installing SL first.
Hardware could be an issue. It's entirely possible for an older system to work fine on slightly faulty hardware while a newer system does not. Running Apple Hardware Test wouldn't be a bad idea.
Firmware updates wouldn't be a bad idea. However, note that my mid-2010 MBP with the same specs is running Lion just fine, and I've never installed any firmware updates. (Firmware updates scare me... if my machine is running just fine, I'm reluctant to risk installing new firmware. But that's probably just a bit of paranoia talking. )

What is Apple's position on system maintenance and optimization?

I mean, obviously something has to be done to keep our macs as fast as after an ex-novo installation...
apple engineers, please answer!

there is not a single issue, it's just a gradual decrease of the overall performance.
to give some examples:
- time to boot
- time to open safari, mail, itunes,... (actually aperture is still pretty fast)
- time to get the size of big folders
they are all related to the hard drive (i've got a 7200 rpm hard drive anyway). when the tasks are processor demanding, my mac goes as smoothly as always.
also, when i fresh install the system (i last did it when updating to SL) initially it goes fast and then, gradually, data access slows down.
i believe i'm not the only one with this kind of problem and it would be nice to have a way to fix it (other than re-installing ex-novo the os).

Running apple mail on windows system

Hey all,
Is there anyway that I can download and run apple mail on a windows based system?
I just recently got a mac (first one!!) and am switching all my contacts to mail. But when I'm at work I'd like to have mail running on my windows based computer. I can check my mail through .mac right now, but would prefer if the program ran on my computer and told me when I got new e-mails as opposed to me having to keep checking through .mac. Anyway to accomplish this?

how would I do that with thunderbird?
The same as you would any IMAP account.
You can find the necessary incoming and outgoing server information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306118
I don't think the Windows version of Thuderbird will have .Mac as a default account type. You'll have to manually create it.

HT3825 Apple needs to add system support for Nikon D4 NEF Previews... currently only D800.

Apple has added support for the Nikon D800 to 10.6 but not the Nikon D4? OSX.6 needs to be updated to be able to view thumbnails and previews to raw files from the Nikon D4. The only update that apple has released only affects iPhoto, not the system.

AppleTV is Steve Job's hobby product?
Perhaps AppleTV has increased sales on the iTunes store, but I wonder if the AppleTV itself has made any money for the company. For all we know, Apple may be losing money on every production and sale of the product, just like MS and Sony have for their consoles. I think the AppleTV is a great idea, but it is too limiting for it to be universally accepted. In fact, the AppleTV should be the universal player of set-top boxes. Apple, I guess, is not interested in the video server market.

All Apple apps quit after system update install

Installed most recent system update on a perfectly stable, happy Mac. Since then, any apple app- (mail, safari, update, address book so far) will launch and then immediately quit. I am also getting a "subpubagent unexpectedly quit" pop-up which has never happened before on this machine. Firefox, word etc. all seem fine. Any ideas?

Restore your bootable backup/clone containing your OS before updating. Don't have one? Tsk, tsk. In that case, see http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html
