Apple TV interference with my macbook pro and my wife's macbook

I recently bought the new Apple TV. My wife and I have same iTunes account. I have turned on home sharing only in the iTunes in my macbook pro. Still then, the apple tv's remote operation interferes with my wife's macbook and also, searches photos on her iPhoto in her macbook rather than searching on mine. Also, I try to play something on the TV with the apple TV, and simultaneously some other random video opens on my iTunes ! We both run the latest iTunes software. How can I fix this? It is kind of annoying...

You can do one of two things to stop unwanted interference from an apple remote:
1) Disable the mac's response to the remote
2) Pair a mac to a specific remote
Both are done easily at System Preferences->Security, the settings there are self-explanatory.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    Do I always have to be within distance of iPhone?

    No, the watch can only link to an iPhone. However, it can do several things even when out of range of the iPhone — http://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  • I need advice on a quality color-laser printer to work with my Mac Book Pro and my wife's Mac Book

    Hi:
    I have a Mac Book Pro and my wife a Mac Book, both with Intel Chips.
    I'm running OS 10.7.5 while she is running 10.6.8.
    Our budget is between $200 and $400,
    We would like the following features:
    1. Wireless printing over a linksys router home network. It would be very nice to have the printer in a central location without having to have it USB'd directly into the router.  Our router has a fixed location in the house and the printer will be located elsewhere in the house.
    2. Reasonably fast to fast printing (pages /minute)
    3. Color and black/white printing if the cost isn't too much higher to get color printing capability.
    4. AirPrint from iphone 5, if possible.
    5.  High quality photo printing is not a requirement......looking more for high quality document printing (Word, pdf's, etc) and printing of material from the web.
    Thanks in advance for advice!
    Michael

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the macbook forum since you're more likely to get answers there than in the iPad one.

    Is Firefox compatible with Window Surface Pro and Win Phone 8

    A user posted here the other day who is using a Surface Pro 2, with Windows 8.1, so that should work basically the way it works on a desktop or laptop.
    Windows Phone, I don't think so.

  • I don't know what's happening, but my apple ID is with my husband ID, and I've already changed?? Help me please?

    I don't know what's happening, but my apple ID is with my husband ID, and I've already changed?? Help me please?

    Thats because the apps you already had are associated with his apple id because you purchased them with his apple id. All new apps you purchase under yours will be under yours only.

  • I'm trying to sync my iPad with my new pro and i get message saying 5 computers authorised ?? what to do

    i'm trying to sync my iPad with my new pro and i get message saying 5 computers authorised ?? what to do

    1.  De-authorize one of your five computers and then authorize your new Pro.
    Or, if you don't have five computers and got rid of them before you de-authorized them...
    In iTunes, click your iTunes user ID in the upper right corner of the iTunes Store.  Select Account and then press the "De-Authorize All" button.  All of your computers will be de-authorized.  Then it is just a matter of re-authorizing the computers that you want to use with iTunes.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

    With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

    Hello:
    If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

  • Apple TV Sync with 2x MacBook Pro's?

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me if you can Sync Apple TV to 2 Mac Book Pros.
    Both myself & partner want to use it, however we want to use our own content.
    Thanks

    Only one of you can sync your content to the tv, but the other can stream their content. Streaming requires that the computer is on and running iTunes in order for you to watch the content on the tv

  • So Apple blew it with  Final Cut Pro X?

    OK...was just getting ready to upgrade from FCP to FCP X, but...reading the reviews, I'm EXTREMELY hesitant...
    Did Apple blow it with this? The last thing  i need is "iMovie" on steroids. I  need a streamlined, PROFESSIONAL grade application for editing video and video soundtracks, NOT a "pretty face"...
    You guys please lmk if it's worth the money as it stands RIGHT NOW. I'm not interested in paying for this THEN waiting for update after update when we should be beta testing for free, NOT with money out of our pockets.
    Also, is it REALLY not backwards compatible with other FCP projects? If not, why not? And if not, how do you convert them and can you still work with them via some mechanism? If so, how hard is this to do and what do we compromise...?
    OK...discuss...ty.

    If you are not willing to gamble $300, wait a few days (or heck, even a week) for more detailed reviews.  Then you can make up your mind if FCP X is useful for you.

    This may come as shock to some, but not everyone has a huge back-catalog of previous FCP projects.  Yes, I do think that Apple should call out that right now FCP X can't open previous FCP projects.  So if you need that, than FCP X isn't a solution for you now.  Stick with FCP 7.  Nothing has changed.
    But in the meantime, for those who it's not a big issue (like me) can start using FCP X today.
    This is what is so boggling to me - how is it a negative that because Apple shipped it early for those for who the current feature set is appealing a negative?  If Apple had waited until the "pro" features were done and incorporated it would still be the same amount of time for those people.  But now all the users who don't rely or need on those higher-end "pro" features wouldn't have the software in the meantime.
    You seem to be one of the smarter people on these forums - you actually waited to read a review before rushing out to spend $300 on a new piece of software.  Congratulations!  If it's not a fit for you, you can wait until it is (or until there is a more compelling solution for you if Apple takes too long or never delivers).
    The amount of hysteria for what is basically poor impulse control and a lack of due-dillagance on the part of people who are supposedly "Pros" is simply breathtaking...
