Apple TV Take 3
I welcome the new features of apple tv take 2, but it is still not usable.
I will not buy this product until it includes:
- DVD/BluRay Burner
- 500 GB HDD
- TV-Tuner (for recording tv-shows...)
I don't like to have 3 or 4 machines (Apple TV, HDD-Recorder, DVD-Player, Sat Receiver...) under my tv screen - i want ONE!
DVD/BlueRay - No thanks old hat before it's even out, having no physical media is the way forwards.
500GB HDD - I can use my many external HDD's to do the same thing, I only need the 40GB version and stream my content from the expandable HD's on my Mac.
TV-Tuner - Again soon to become old hat as on demand content becomes more mainstream.
I think many are missing the potential of Apple TV and comparing it to other products which are pretty flakey at best.
This is the most stable of it's kind I have ever used with a lovely and intuitive interface which is what Apple does best.
If you want a product like the above then buy something else there's plenty to choose from in the MS stable.

From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie. Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point? I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV. The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!! Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc? Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
Please note, only users read/comment here - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something. I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

I had Russian Apple ID and then i wanted to change the country to USA.
Everything was OK before this change but after it I am not able to pay for the applications.
I am getting an error "You payment information does not match your banks record."
I tried to buy an app directly after country change but purchase was not finalized.
Now i see in my bank report that Apple still takes money for this application.
App cost is near 8 $ and money were taken 14 times already.
1. How can i cancel this broken (non finalized) order?
2. How can i adjust my account info back to Russia?Contact iTunes Customer Service for your issue...

Why does apple tv take hours to record
Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?
Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
1080P requires 8mbps
You can switch to SD in the settings
To check your connection go to speedtest.net -

Will apple still take your iphone if you change the color of the outside if the phone?
Will apple still take your iphone if you change the color of the outside if the phone?
There is no other place to get the original screen/parts other than Apple. And Apples does not sell parts.
As soon as a 3rd party opens/changes the phone parts Apple will be able to tell and won't accept a phone that isn't original.
You will need to look at other options or buy a new phone at full price and don't make any changes to it. -

How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mine's usually about 5 minutes, but it wouldn't be more than 30-40, if it's any longer.......
You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
1. Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
2. Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
3. Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
4. Open iTunes.
5. Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above. -
My Apple TV takes forever to update, an then tells me "The update was unsuccessful." What can I do? It's connected to my network via Ethernet.
Slow Internet connection is one possibility.

Why is it when I rent a movie from Apple it takes all night to load & when I try to play it starts to load again for a while before it plays ? Netflix loads & plays in seconds [ usually] in the same device!
Welcome to the Apple community.
One of the main reasons this occurs is because Netflix uses a feature called adaptive quality and iTunes uses a fixed quality. Netflix is able to reduce its quality to such an extent when it detects that you have a poor Internet connection that the data rate of the movie is as low as 0.5 Mb per second, on the other hand if you have chosen to view an HD movie from iTunes U have chosen a movie with a data rate as high as 5 Mb per second. -

I regularly get e-mails (which appear to be legit upon intense scrutiny) from Apple regarding the request for a reset of my Apple ID. Given how often and the timing of these e-mails (spead out and not bunched up like it would be for someone who actually mistook my ID for their own), it is clear that someone is making a serious effort to break into my account (and logically millions of other accounts). Would someone at Apple please take just as serious steps to locate these scumbags and put them down?
Thank you.Thank you.
I've submitted the feedback where you've suggested. I hope someone will takw the problem seriously because there may come a day when the e-mails will end and my bank account will just get emptied by some cracker* who has found a flaw in the system and exploited it.
*This is the correct term, "hacker" is a style of programmer, while a "cracker" cracks computer-based security. Blame the Media and Hollywood for getting the terms wrong. -
Do apple devices take priority (in bandwidth) over non-Apple devices?
When I use even 1 of my Apple devices at home, my housemate's PC slows down or even freezes. When I use a PC laptop, it also slows down or freezes, until I turn off all of my Apple devices. (I have an iMac, iPad, iPhone and iPod.)
My housemate says she heard that Apple devices "hog" the bandwidth, i.e., take priority over non-Apple devices. I didn't want to believe this, but after doing some experiments with shutting my devices off and on, while using a PC, it kinda looks like she is right.
My questions:
1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
It is often reported.. but this kind of thing has been going on since wireless came along.. partly due to how many different manufacturers we have of wireless gear.. and the fact they all make stuff according to the code IEEE produce (cough, gollum, gollum!!) with their own little gidgets on side.
Apple systems are propriety.. they are designed to work with apple products.. and maybe windows.. as long as they don't use intel wireless cards or realtek or some others.. and the drivers are compatible.. and the moon is full and you hold your tongue on the left side of your cheek.
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
Yes, it is very simple.. buy a $30 TP-Link wireless N-Lite router and use it as an AP plugged into your apple router.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)
Has nothing to do with ISP.. but if you already have a wireless router gateway from your ISP use the wireless on that for your housemate. -
if i purchase an iphone6 directly from Apple and take to my carrier, Verizon, will I have any issues?
Yes. Not because of the phone, but because Verizon will only activate iPhones sold specifically for use on Verizon's network. You can buy the phone from Apple or from Verizon, but you must buy a Verizon-designated phone. And if you buy it from Apple there's no need to visit Verizon, as Apple can activate it on your Verizon account.
