Apple TV now requires other device upgrades?

So Apple is forcing its Apple TV users to upgrade their phones or their Macs in order to see Photostream on their TV? I have a six-year-old Mac running fine on Lion. I don't need ML. I need to keep Google Maps on my phone because of Street View. Hence, no upgrades. Photostream continues to work fine on both those machines. Irony.
I cannot believe a smart person approved this. Apple is showing the signs of having gotten too big for its breeches.
Am I missing something?

Apple has always done this, "push you to upgrade" this how they can uniform the experience. Since many of the Protocols used by Apple are either approved standard REF or they are propriatery. Updating 1 device and not the other lead's to multiple forums post saying thing doesn't work. When a simple update will fix it.
If this is all about a Maps debate "again", The new Maps app are better and the data is improving for some locations for mine Canada and US it's Excellent coverage. And if you want Street view Google has it in their mobile app now which based of HTML 5 works exactly the same or better than it did before.
Think about it.

Passcode now required after V3 upgrade of 3G iPhone

After upgrading to V3 the iPhone now requires me to enter a Passcode. There is no option to turn this off like in V2. Can anyone suggest why this may be the case?

I see option to turn it off. Where are you looking?
Also are you using a phone hooked to a corp Exchange account? If so, they have some control over forcing policies.

Same Apple ID appears on other devices when downloading/updating apps

Thanks for your fast reply. My daughter has a new phone, bought it yesterday and logged into ITune on PC to sync songs and then wanted to download when noticed that devise asked for my ID so she hasn't downloaded anything yet! How would this change things?

Apple TV remote affecting other devices

Hi,
I've got an Apple TV 2 and a MBP in the same room. I've managed to pair the Apple TV's remote with the AppleTV (by holding menu and right for 5 seconds) so that the MBP's white remote now does not work with the AppleTV.
I just cannot get the AppleTV's remote to stop working with the MBP though. I've tried pairing the MBP's remote with the MBP and after doing so the Security & Privacy system preferences panel now states "This computer will only work with the paired remote", but both remotes still affect it. This makes home sharing useless as I cannot control my music being shared by my MBP while it's on without causing iTunes to start acting up on my MBP.
I've even tried selecting "Disable remote control infrared receiver" and this doesn't do anything either. All remotes still work!
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Nick

NOTE - Ensure you only follow the instructions for your SPECIFIC Mac model family and not not try things designed for older Macs on newer ones. If in doubt don't do it.

HT204053 my apple id is not working on my iPhone. how do i change my apple id on my other devices?

My Apple ID is not working on my iphone and iclouds. how do i fit it?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

HT204053 How can I change my apple id for iCloud to match the apple id's on other devices?

I am trying to get all of my devices and icloud to have the same email address and password to make iMatch work for music. I can't find a wy to change the iCloud account. Help!

iCloud isn't anything to do with iTunes Match.

I changed my apple ID email address and now all my devices are signed in under the old apple ID, but it wont let me change the icould account on any without a password. The problem is my new password for the new apple ID won't work or the old? help!!!!

Help me!! I changed my email address associated with apple Id. Now ALLLLL my devices (iphone, mac, ipad) are associated with old apple Id. But It won't log out or delete the old one without having a password. Neither the old passowrd or the new password works. Now nothign works. Please help me!!

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

I have two devices that share an icloud but I keep running out of storage. Is there a way I can get a seperate icloud for each device? I'd like to keep the icloud I have now for one device and get another one for the second device but I don

Icloud issues

Two iCloud accounts require two Apple IDs. So, if you want to set up a separate Apple ID for the other device, then you can set up a new iCloud account for that Apple ID. Everything associated with your current Apple ID will only remain with your current Apple ID with the possible exception of your Contacts, which you can keep on the device when you delete the iCloud account from it, and then you can merge them to the new iCloud ID when you sign it on.
All purchases made under the old ID will continue to be owned by the old ID.
Cheers,

Why do recent contacts from other devices show up in messages

I share iCloud with other devices, how do I stop their recent contacts from showing up in my iMessages? I have everything turned off in iCloud.

Delete your iCloud account and set up a new one with a different Apple ID than the other devices. Unless you want to share data between different devices, each one should have its own iCloud account, with different Apple ID.

I upgraded to iOS7 without incident and has been functioning fine. However, today, I'm unable to access anything that requires connection. WiFi strong, working fine on other devices - any suggestions?

Hi there,
You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.
