Apple TV menu shows only "Computers" app and "Settings" app?

We have ATV 2nd generation and it has worked very well until recently. We didn't use it for about a month or so and when we went to use it the other day, it turns on fine but our menu screen shows only 2 apps "Computers" and "Settings". No movies, tv shows, Netflix, MLB, nothing. When we click on the "Computers" app it asks to turn on Home Sharing. When I try to enter apple id and password through ATV it tells me that the id and/or password are incorrect. They aren't! Home Sharing is on when I check iTunes on the computer. In the "Settings" app I have tried restarting and resetting the ATV. It doesn't work. We are also unable to connect to iTunes from ATV. I enter the id and password and I get a message the iTunes is unavailable and to try again later. VERY FRUSTRATED! Has anyone had these issues??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    4.    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

HT1766 i just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use 6.2GB (other on Summery) no App. sync. I don't have enough space to sync any application!?

I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER 6.2GB used came from?

Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button.

Ipad is black screen and showing only a logo and updating bar.

I just downloaded new ios in itunes and updated my ipad 3G. But during updating itunes encountered a problem and closed. When I reopened the itunes and connect my ipad again, my ipad cant connect to the itunes and still showing only a logo and updating bar. Could you please share me some ideas?

You probably have to put your iPad into recovery mode now in order to restore the iOS software to fix this problem. This will explain how to do it.

In Apps store on mac pro my apple id is showing as someone else and I cannot remove the name to re input my actual apple id even after signing out - it is set as default or something and yet I am the only user of the mac?

<Email Edited by Host>

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Cannot start mac book air. Screen shows only program bar and screensaver picture

I cannot open my MacBookAir. The screen is black or shows only the screensaver picture and the program bar at the bottom of the screen. Icons do not react on clicks.

Hello gero1954,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac is unresponsive. To try and fix this issue, I'd like you to please restart your computer.
Restart
Do any of the following:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Hold down the power button until you see the restart, sleep, or shut down dialog, then click Restart, or press R.
If the pointer freezes on the screen or your Mac becomes unresponsive, press Control-Command (⌘)-Power button to force a restart.
Important: If you force a restart, you may lose unsaved changes in open documents.
If you don’t want the app windows you currently have open to reopen when you restart your Mac and sign in, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”
OS X Yosemite: Log out, sleep, restart, and shut down
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Alex H.

My emails show only the header and no content or attachments ?

My emails show only the header with no content or attachments on my iPad?

Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

Is there a way to filter content search in iTunes to show only those apps/music etc that are compatible with a particular hardware/software/firmware configuration.

It is annoying to download an app that subsequently states it is only for iPhone 4 or OS x.x.x
Is there some way of filtering content or content search to show only those items that are compatible with whatever hardware/firmware I happen to be using?
Interestingly in the Apple drop down list of Products the earliest iPhone shown is 3G !! Have they disowned all models they sold before that variant? I have an iPhone 2G. Works well, does what it says on the tin, have no reason/need to throw away and buy another. Yet they manage to provide firmware updates (now 3.1.3) for a product that is not listed!!!

And some more info I just found...
I found a web article that confirms that it is possible to clean ("sanitize" or "scrub") the files manually on Mac. It even provides a link that (I am assuming) details how to do it.
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me. Does the link work for anybody else?
Here's the article: http://lawyerist.com/remove-metadata-with-batch-software/
Scroll down to the 3rd section "How to remove metadata?" to see the link that I'm referring to.

Show only iPad Apps

Grrrr!! iTunes is driving me nuts! Aside from it trying very hard to wipe everything it can at the slightest excuse, it's now displaying even more odd behaviour.
I've synced one of our iPads several times before, and iTunes has "remembered" what needs syncing.
Tonight I tried to transfer just one book and a newly downloaded app.
I dropped the menu to "show ipad apps only" as usual, and noticed it was taking forever to sync. I then noticed it was downloading iPhone / Touch apps, which we'd previously excluded. There are hundreds of them (kids)!
Why did it decide to transfer them when when I'd asked for only iPad apps?? Plus, it never did that before?? iTunes is becoming an exercise in patience, to say the least.

Mac OS X apps are in the Mac App Store, which is a completely separate application.

Viewer showing only saturated black and white

My Aperture is gone into a funk -- The viewer shows only a totally saturated black and white image -- each pixel is either all white or all black (browser and thumbnails are normal). This is for all images in all projects. I have rebooted the machine and restarted Aperture to no avail. I cant find a preference item that seems to control this. Ideas?
Here is info on my system hardware:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB

Partially answering my own question (perhaps this will help others). Looking more closely at the viewer screen, I saw the words "proofing profile". So I found that the proofing profile was turned on in the view menu, and it was set to "black and white". (This must have inadvertently been set when I tried to convert an image in monochrome for printing.) Turning off the proofing profile in the view menu returned me to the original images.
However, I still do not understand why the proofing profile images were totally saturated. Is "black and white" different from monochrome? Where are the settings to change the saturation on the proofing profile?

Gif image shows only in black and white

Hello...
I'm trying to convert normal image to PlanarImage but the PlanarImage will show only black & white image in the applet. My guess is that it has something to do with bands but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
Here is the code what I'm trying to use in applet's init method
public void init(){
     Image my_gif;
     URL base;
     MediaTracker mt;
     mt = new MediaTracker(this);
     try {
          base = getCodeBase();
     catch (Exception e) {}
     my_gif = getImage(base,"image.gif");
     mt.addImage(my_gif,1);
     try {
     mt.waitForAll();
     catch (InterruptedException e) {}
     int imageHeight = my_gif.getHeight(this);
     int imageWidth = my_gif.getWidth(this);
     int numBands = 3;
     int len = imageHeight * imageWidth * numBands;
     byte[] imageData = null;
     PixelGrabber pixeli = new PixelGrabber(my_gif, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight,false);
     SeekableStream ss = null;
     try {
          pixeli.grabPixels();
          imageData = (byte[])pixeli.getPixels();
     } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
          e2.printStackTrace();
     ColorModel cm = pixeli.getColorModel();
     SampleModel sm = cm.createCompatibleSampleModel(imageWidth,imageHeight);
     TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(new Point(),sm,imageWidth,imageHeight);
     DataBufferByte dbb = new DataBufferByte(imageData,len);
     Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sm,dbb,new Point());
     tiledImage.setData(raster);
     PlanarImage image = (PlanarImage)tiledImage;

HT201335 Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay, and Apple want to charge me $19.00 +tax to ask a question.

After I updated AppleTV to 5.2 and iOS to 5.1.1 on my iPad, Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay. I searched for an answer on the Internet with no luck and I asked support through Apple's website.

Window resized to show only title bar and pushed off screen viewing area

Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?
I open some PDF documents, then leave the computer for a few hours. When I come back, they have all been resized to only show the title bar AND they have been pushed off the bottom left corner of my screen, so that only a tiny portion of the title bar can be seen. I then drag them all back up into view, and resize them so I can read them again. Give it another couple hours of not being actively used, and they disappear back down to the corner.
Very strange Abobe... what's happening?

Some details would help: operating system, Reader version, a screenshot perhaps: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
