Best option for photos to display on Apple tv

Hey guys, we have an Apple TV hooked up via HDMI to a plasma Tv. I'd like to display some photos on the TV that I'm planning to take on the near future. I currently have a 7 megapixel digital canon camera. (A compact powershot model). Would I see any benefit in using a camera with a higher megapixel count? I'm not really sure as to what resolution would be best. Does a 7 megapixel camera max out the capabilities of the TV, or would I be able to get better pictures to display using a better cmera?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

If the photos you take are exclusively for viewing on your widescreen TV (or on your widescreen computer screen), rather than in printed form, it may be worth considering setting your camera to take in 16:9 format.
This way, your photos fill the screen. One thing to be wary of though, is if you then take photos in Portrait (using 16:9) they are even worse than if you had used 3:2 - ie they are even taller and skinnier on the screen.
I've seen the odd post here that some people take in 3:2, then duplicate their shots, and crop the duplicate with a 16:9 constrain for use with ATV on the widescreen.
Regards,

    I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

    Dear All,
    I have three Task Flows:
    1. TF1
         -  Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
    2. TF2
         -  Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly.  Generally any data
         is feed from TF1
    3. TF3
         -  Same as TF2Use Case:
    All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
    Question:
    1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
    2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
    Given the scenario above:
    - shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
    - contextual events?
    What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
    Please help.
    Webcenter 11.1.1.6

    Contextual events seem to be the best case.
    This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
    An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
    In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ

  • Best option for replacing a faulty ATI Radeon x 2600 XT 256mb

    My graphics card has just packed up, and I am struggling to find anybody at the Apple Technical Support service to give me a straight answer.
    I am not a gamer, and only require a card that will allow me day today use and for general camcorder editing (novice level).
    I had an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT - standard install. in my MacPro (early 2008) 2.8Ghz, Dual Quad Intel chipset, OSX 10.6 (snow leopard).
    Can anyone recommend the best option for ATI card, as I have read theyh perform better than the Nvidia cards.

    I'd get ATI HD Radeon 4870 Mac Edition from Apple.
    The GT is more like spare or for 3 monitors. Why or how Nvidia got that card to be adopted as the OEM standard in a workstation, and not say GTS/GTX 200 series is, beyond me. One year ATI, next year Nvidia gets the "prize" seems to be the order of the day.
    Nvidia drivers have been a problem for Apple for years, the GTX 285 would do some serious damage to 3D and CS4/5. Two dual width card design the way a Quadro CX handles CS4 for Windows to do realtime image rendering instantly.
    I wouldn't flash unless you like to dabble or want to learn. In which case a 1GB card would make more sense.
    Surprised though the manager didn't steer you toward the 4870.

  • Best option for protecting the palm wrest area from staining?

    My new white MacBook is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I currently use a blackbook. Anyway, I have kind of oily skin, and I'm worried about staining on the white plastic on the new computer where my palms rest during use.
    What's the best option for protecting this area? I've seen the Marware protection pack, but I've read quite a few bad reviews on it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    I use Mareware's product on my WhiteBook and it is sold at the Apple Store and Apple online. It also comes with a keyboard cover cloth to put on when the Book is closed to protect the screen. The cloth doubles as a soft wipe for the screen. The palm rest is custom fitted for the palm area and is removable. I have removed it twice and stuck it back on. Here's a link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=A75 86758&nplm=TJ751LL/A

  • Best option for a 'sim free' phone in the UK

    Can anyone recommend a best option for getting a 'carrier free' 3GS for use with the Orange network in the UK?
    Anyone out there who has bought one from a suitable 'sim free' country can give me any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments above.
    Why would a warranty not apply just because the phone ends up in a different country? If an Apple product is defective, then surely they have a legal responsibility to put the product right. It would be interesting to see how it stood up in a court of law. As consumers we all have rights regardless of what any manufacturer puts in their warranty information. In the UK the Sale of Goods Act means you are covered for up to six years if a product is defective because of an 'inherent fault' no matter what the manufacturer says.
    Not true. I used to work for a company down in Berkshire. One of their products bought through official channels over here was covered.
    Try buying one in the states because it was cheaper tho, and you'd suddenly find you had no warranty.
    The Sale of goods Act is UK law not international law. It might apply to products bought somewhere in the EU but it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on in the US.

    You can't view pictures on icloud.com, and you can't view anything in your backup without restoring it to your device.  If you want to view pictures on the web, you have to add them to a shared stream with the Public Website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This will give you a private url to view them from your browser.

  • Best option for Asynchronous method invocation? JMS or Pure Java Thread

    Hi,
    We've a swing based Client application which is supposed to run with a server in J2EE environment. Some process like Search etc are very time consuming. So we are going for asynchronous process.
    Now the question is to find a best option for this. Two possible candidates are
    1. JMS
    2. Java Thread.
    Can anybody suggest me which one is the best option in this context?

    Actually my thought was the issues with code maintainability.Maintainability is different issue, it is much related to OOAD and design pattern you might want to choose to avoid coupling (thus high reusability and maintainability - eg: for future enhancement, etc)..
    public interface SearchService {
         public static class DefaultFactory {
                 public SearchService getInstance() {
                          return HttpSearchService.getInstance();
         public void search (String[] keywords, Observer obs);
    public class HttpSearchService implements SearchService {
         public static HttpSearchService getInstance() {
                ... bla bla bla singleton ...
         public void search(final String [] keywords, final Observer obs) {
                     (new Thread() {
                              public void run() {
                                    .. do http request ...
                                    List result =  ... parse http response ...
                                    obs.update(list);
                     }).start();
    SearchService ss = SearchService.DefaultFactory.getInstance();
    ss.search( new String[] { "get", "me", "my" , "dukes" }, myTableModel );
    ...You can, in future, replace the default factory HttpSearchService with something faster, more appropriate SearchService, without changing many codes.

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • Best option for upgrading to CS 6

    Hello,
    I need some help. I currently have CS 5 and 5.5 installed across 7 PCs and 1 MAC within the marketing department in my company. What would be the best option for upgrading all of them to CS 6 Master Collection. (how many PCs can I use a license on? How many licenses would I have to purchase to install on all the machines?)
    Thanks.

    There is no ambiguity here: You buy 7+1 licenses. Though you have 2 activations per license, they are not meant to run your facility on the cheap. I suggest you read the EULA....

    You are asking two different questiions:

  • Best option for optical au

    Hey guys,
    just a query - i have an audigy 2 ZS currently, and a high end yamaha 7. amplifier.
    what im wanting to do is connect this up via optical .. its currently connected via RCA and it seems to get confused as to which is the sub and which is the centre, despite me trying all combinations of cabling.
    so i thought an optical wire from soundcard to amplifier would be the best way ?
    i've read somewhere that if i do this, and play 2. audio (mp3s), my rear channel will be disabled ? surely thats not true ? - reason for saying this is i've seen home theatre setups where a CD player is hooked up to an amp via optical, and it still produces audio through the rear channels.
    whats the best option to run this via optical ? do i need to purchase a new sound card ? if so, what is the best option for me ?
    id rather quality than cheaping out on something that 'will do the job', but options are always welcome
    mostly i listen to music with a bit of bass, i dont do a whole heap of gaming, so i guess music is the focus.
    Thanks !

    ReaperZ,
    The center is on the nominally-left-channel RCA, so the likely-red-coded, nominally-right-channel RCA is your subwoofer connector.
    I don't have the same soundcard model, and I can't give you blow-by-blow detail, but try looking in the Bass Management tab of the Speaker Settings control, or you may find something in the THX Setup Console, for bass redirection. You should at least find subwoofer volume and crossover-frequency sliders, and you also might find a center volume control. I'm a proponent of running all soundcard volumes at 00% and controlling listening volume and speaker balance at the amp, since this maximizes the digital SNR, but it can also be less convenient.
    Run through the receiver manual's troubleshooting section for "No sound from the center speaker" and "No sound from the subwoofer" just to rule out a setting problem on the receiver side.
    Then use "Manually adjusting speaker levels" on pg 45 of the receiver manual, with? MULTI CH IN selected on the remote control, to max the SWFR level (+0dB). Most receivers have separate level settings for their multi-channel input, so it is usually advantageous to provide the +0dB boost this way so it is in effect only when using the soundcard. This boost can be increased further by lowering all of the other settings the same number of dB's: if you subtract dB from all of the others, the effect is to increase the relati've subwoofer volume by dB.
    Try using this information and let us know what happens.
