Best router combination for FIOS and Apple TV

I have a Power PC Mac with Verizon FIOS wired router. I would like to add Apple TV, and I am wondering if I replace my wired router with a wireless one, would that allow me to use Apple TV? If so, what router would anyone recommend as working well with theFIOS connection. I am excited about Apple TV, esp now with YouTube coming aboard. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Den,
In my case the ONT and UPS are in the basement. The fiber DOES enter the house to the ONT. The tech when installing the ONT said he was going to put it in the basement regardless of what Verizon wanted (he said easier to service in the basement in bad weather like snow storms or rain) In my case the ONT then goes out over my existing coax to the coax WAN port on the router. If I had cat 5 they would have used that and gone into the ethernet Wan port.
Installations around my neighborhood vary (I've checked)..it depends on the tech you get the day of installation. If it's in the basement you can examine the fiber wire itself. It appears to be extremely durable.
I went with Airport Extreme and turned off the wireless in the ActionTech Verizon Modem/Router becuase I'm using Verizon for my own private network in this house which is N exclusively at 2.4 GHZ (my cordless phones are 5 GHZ and don't want interference). My wife still wants Comcast because she doesn't want to change her email address for her business, so to keep the peace I'm paying for 2 internet services. I will however lose the Comcast video in December when Verizon video is available in my town, because the picture is that much better.

What is the best DNS server for iCloud and Apple services?

Hello. Im wondering what is the best DNS server to use with iCloud, and apple services.
Does apple have a dedicatrd DNS server?
I read a couple of articles stating that the google DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 slow down apple and facebook services.
Did a couple of tests like iTunes streaming and found out that its true in some cases.

Not always!
Found what i was shearching for:

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive?

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive? I have a "somewhat" older version of iPhoto (5.0.4), and it doesn't seem to offer anything like that except during the importing phase of syncing my phone...

I wonder, is there room to transfer them to your phone, & then back to filter them?

I have an iphon 4 got the new ios 7 and I need to redo my icloud but I dont have the password for it and apple does not have the infromation form the old account what should I do to turn off find my iphone

It has error number -50.

If it only happens with this project, it's probable some media files have become corrupted.
Those may be render files. Make sure background rendering is off. Select the project in the browser and from the file menu, choose Delete Project Render Files; choose All from the dialog. Without rendering,try exporting.
If that doesn't work, use an optimized version of your DSLR clips. (Right click on the clips in the browser and hit Transcode.)

Best way for iTunes and Apple TV to output high resolution music files?

I am currently listening to music at home using this set-up:
My iTunes library of Apple Lossless music files ( Win 7 ) is in my home office, and it is connected to an Apple TV 3 in the living room through an Ethernet cable.
The Apple TV 3 is connected to a DAC Moon 100D through an optical cable
The DAC is connected to an integrated amplifier Cambridge Audio Azur 815A which outputs the analogical sound to the speakers.
I want to have best possible sound quality, but as far as I understand I have some limitations on this set-up:
1) Apple TV outputs everything at 16 bit/48 kHz (not bit perfect and not 'CD quality' 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz). So, even if I have higher quality music files being served from iTunes, it will be down sampled to 16 bit/48 kHz.
2) ITunes does NOT support 24bit recording and all Apple Lossless music files are automatically converted back to 16-Bit by iTunes
So here are my questions:
Can I play 24bit music files using iTunes directly from the PC to the DAC?
If yes, which formats?
Any suggestions to improve my set-up output quality?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Sugarrayleonard,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple TV issues. You may want to consider a full restore of the device, if you haven't tried that yet:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4367
Restoring your Apple TV to factory settings
On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
Your Apple TV will restore to factory settings and will download and install the latest Apple TV software. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
If you cannot use this process, and you have a micro-USB cable, try the steps in the next section.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Best format for ps3 and apple tv

What is the best format for viewing movies on a hdtv (1080p) via ps3 and apple tv?
Not sure what my best option would be in the sharing/export options, also should I make it 16:9 even though all the footage was 4:3?
Message was edited by: rwltrz4

Thanks.
I've posted up on their forum too (the folks over there are not as responsive as you guys, helpful, but not in the same volume )
I kinda hear what you're saying, but the encoding time (fps and time taken) is pretty slow on my PPC G5 iMac at the moment, and if the Turbo.264 is doing most of the processing then from what you say it'll stay the same on a new Intel Mac. I really hope not, or it'll be me throwing in the whole notion of recording TV on my Mac and heading off down the shop for a PlayTV for the PS3.
Either that or hope for a decent upgrade to the Mini at Macworld, sling the Apple TV on to ebay (film rental selection here in the UK is still pretty weak) and replace with a Mini, plug the tuner in that and watch native EyeTV recordings without the need for lengthy encoding. I reckon Front Row, and an iPhone Remote will do almost as good a job for my music as the Apple TV does.
One day we will look back and laugh at the notion of an hour long TV show being 'encoded' for playback at all, let alone waiting more than 2 minutes for the process to happen!

Route determination for PO and Delivery

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask how to set up route fro deliveries and Stock transport orders.
Hope you can help me on this.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Mylene

Working with Route Schedules
Use
Using a route schedule, you can control periodic customer deliveries of a particular shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customers or stores) in a certain sequence on a certain defined route. The planning is based on calendar weeks. The period unit is a day. Also, route schedules have a goods issue time.
The route schedule function supports the following processes:
Periodic deliveries from a shipping point to stores or customers are planned in advance on the basis of calendar weeks and weekdays, also without reference to particular deliveries.
You adapt the schedules in the specific cases to the planning. For example, you can plan a GI date for a Monday at 8 oclock, without knowing the exact date or the delivery.
On the basis of this planning, deliveries that are to leave the warehouse at the same time are combined into groups. In Shipping you can thus distribute the workload by processing these groups.
Features
You can display all deliveries for a particular route schedule on a particular day, for a particular shipping point, and so on. In this way, for example, you can choose picking lists on the basis of route schedules.
You can create route schedules for the following documents:
Sales orders
Stock transfer orders
Deliveries that are based on sales orders, store orders, stock allocations, stock transfer orders, and deliveries without reference.
The route schedule is displayed in the header data of the delivery. For each delivery within the route, the system prints the expected date and the expected time of the delivery (on the basis of the local time at the original shipping point) on the delivery note; the goods issue date is used for the goods issue posting and the stock valuation.
In Customizing, you define for each shipping point, delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type whether or not route schedules are to be used.
You create the route schedules in the master data for shipping. Here you define the route schedule determination and the validity period for the route schedule and the itinerary.
As soon as the legs have been defined, you can branch to another screen to determine the actual itinerary, as well as the time (days/hours/minutes) required to get from one unloading point to the next. In this screen there is a field beside each leg. Here you can enter the number of the itinerary for the individual legs of the route. If, for example, you enter legs A and B, but assign itinerary number 2 and 1 to these, B is the first unloading point on this route. If you press Enter, the legs are displayed in the correct sequence.
At the same time it is possible to control the route schedule determination for each delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type. It is activated in the same manner as the repeated route determination. If the route schedule determination for a delivery is active, the system automatically attempts, during creation or change of a delivery, to determine a route schedule and records this in the delivery. Simultaneously, the scheduling is adjusted. All the deadlines, for example, the transportation planning time, the picking time, the loading time, the goods issue time, and the delivery time can change.
Deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be selected for the same picking run and the same goods issue. The same procedure can be used for printing delivery notes and freight lists, for the grouping of deliveries into shipments, and for confirmation of picking orders.
Deliveries that leave the warehouse at the same time, but are assigned to different routes and can therefore have different route schedules, can be combined together and processed through the creation of wave picks. The only condition is that all deliveries have the same goods issue time.
Route Schedule Determination
If exactly one route schedule is defined for a particular combination of requirements, then the system will use this.
For each combination of requirements for the route schedule determination, you can define several route schedules.
In the case of a delivery without a preceding document, the system determines the route schedule with the earliest delivery time at the ship-to party.
In the case of deliveries based on preceding documents (for example, stock transfer orders), the system searches for the route schedule that is nearest to the planned date/time of the delivery. The system uses the following search algorithm:
- If a route schedule exists for the specified time, this is assigned to the delivery.
- If there is no route schedule for the time specified, the system searches for the previous route schedule up to the GI time.
- If there is no route schedule from the GI time to the planned time, the system searches for the next route schedule in the future and assigns this to the delivery.
Requirements for Route Schedules
The route schedules are determined by the following conditions:
· Shipping point
Where are the goods coming from?
Ship-to party and unloading point
Where are the goods going to?
Shipping condition
How are the goods being shipped?
Transportation group
Which goods are shipped?
® For example, which type of goods?
Calendar week / year
When are the goods to be shipped?
If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
· Transportation planning time
· Pick/pack time
· Loading time
· Transit time
A route schedule can leave the warehouse exactly once in a week. If a route schedule runs several times, either on several days or several times a day, it must be copied to another route schedule.
Special schedules and public holiday weeks are possible.
Processing a Route Schedule
Implementation Options
Wholesale trade customers and stores can receive goods at regular intervals. These delivery rhythms have an influence on the workload in the warehouse. To help delivery planning, the route schedule serves as a tool for planning regular, repetitive customer deliveries on a particular route. At the time of planning, potential deliveries that have not yet been created are grouped in the route schedule. When the deliveries are created, the system can automatically determine a route schedule and assign it to the delivery. All deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be processed together in the shipping point. All these deliveries leave the shipping point together at a particular time. They are distributed along the same geographical route.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10H leave the shipping on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Philadelphia.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10M leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Boston.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10S leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of New York.
You can print picking lists for all deliveries that belong to route schedules MO10H - MO10S together.
Prerequisites
If you want to define route schedules, you must perform the following tasks:
- Activate the route determination
- Activate the delivery scheduling
- Activate the route schedule for your shipping point and make the following settings:
Transaction
Activity
Delivery
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Sales order
Route schedule determination for sales document type
Stock transfer order
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Set delivering plant and order type
Maintenance of the itinerary should be uniform for all the route schedules used. To ensure exact planning, maintain the itinerary for all the route schedules. If rough planning is sufficient in this case, you do not need to maintain the itinerary for a route schedule.
If you do not define any goods accepted times in the customer master for the unloading points of the ship-to party, the system assumes that the goods acceptance is possible at any time. The system determines the delivery time from the departure time in the route schedule plus the required traveling time to the ship-to party, as set in the itinerary (specific move time). This delivery time must be within the goods acceptance time of the unloading point of the ship-to party. If not, the respective route schedule is not determined during delivery creation.
For more information on route schedules, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Route Schedules.
Process Flow
Select the shipping point you are working for and enter the number of the route schedule.
Enter the data that defines the route schedule more exactly:
- Description of the route schedule
- Route
- Departure day (weekday)
- Departure time
You define the route schedule determination. When you create the delivery, the system can determine a route schedule on the basis of the following data:
- Shipping point
- Ship-to party
- Unloading point (if available)
- Shipping condition
- Transportation group
- (Optional) year/period
You enter this data (with the exception of the shipping point already entered in step 1).
You decide whether or not you wish to define the itinerary for this route schedule.
(Optional) You enter the itinerary and, if required, also the travelling time.
Creating a Route Schedule
Choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master data ® Transportation ® Routes ® Route schedule ® Create.
In the screen Create Route Schedule: Initial Screen, enter the shipping point and the number of the route schedule.
If you wish to use data from an existing route schedule as a reference, enter the respective shipping point and the number of that route schedule. If you also wish to copy the itinerary, check the Copy itinerary box.
Press ENTER .
The Create Route Schedule screen appears (here the system displays the number you just entered for the route schedule and the shipping point).
Enter the following data:
Description of the route schedule
The respective route
Departure day (weekday)
Departure time
In the Determine route schedule section, enter the following data:
Ship-to party
Unloading point (if available)
Shipping conditions
Transportation group
(Optional) Year/period
If you wish to define for this route schedule the itinerary according to which the individual ship-to parties are to be delivered to, choose Extras ® Itinerary.
The Create Itinerary screen appears.
Enter the itinerary and, if necessary, the travelling time.
When you determine the travelling time from one ship-to party to the next, you should include the wait time of the vehicle at the previous ship-to party.
If the same route is planned for several route schedules, define for each of these route schedules the same itinerary that should correspond to the stages and legs of the route.
Choose Goto ® Back.
You return to the Create Route Schedule screen.
In this screen, the Itinerary maintained field is now selected. If you wish to add other ship-to parties, you must also maintain the Itinerary for them.
Check your data and save your entries.

Best file formats for graphics and photos for iWeb

What is the best format to transfer files from PDF's, JPEGS, Illustrator CS3 & InDesign for best resolution display in iWeb

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. JPEGS should have the sRGB color profile. I don't know of anything special for PDFs. You might compress them to make them load quicker when viewed but those that I've added I've not done anything to them. For Illistrator and InDesign it probably would be best to take screenshots of them and use those. I don't think iWeb can import those formats but since I don't use either I could be mistaken. All graphics in web sites are displayed at 72 dpi so having large graphic files are not needed. Resize to approximately the size you want to display on the web page at 72 dpi and use that.

Home set-up for MBA and Apple TV - advice please

Hi,
I have a Macbook Air, Apple TV and an iPhone 4S. However, most of my media (music and films) is still stored on my old windows laptop, due mainly to lack of storage space on my MBA.
I would quite like to have persistent storage hooked up to my Apple TV, from which I could watch films or transfer them onto my mobile devices as and when necessary.
My question is, what is the best way to achieve this, some people have suggested using a time capsule as a kind of external hard drive, or alternatively getting a Mac mini and have it permanently turned on and connected to the Apple TV.
What is the general consensus as to which approach would be best (and most value for money, and easiest for an apple novice to set-up)?
Many thanks in advance
Scott

I have an AppleTV connected to my home theatre. The hardest part of setting it up and configuring it was unplugging all the compenents from the surge protector to replace it with one that had more outlets! With taken care of, I turned on the TV, saw the AppleTV screen, tried out the remote, and went downstairs to my computer that has my music and movie collection.
I set iTunes to launch automatically when my computer starts up and set the energy saver control panel to start my iMac and shut it down automatically at specific times. To stream music to the TV the computer has to be running. Finally, in iTunes I turned on iTunes sharing. Back upstairs I checked out the AppleTV and it already had found my computer and my music was there. That simple.
Since I originally set it up, Apple has introduced iTunes Matching, a service that puts your music collection (or at least 25,000 songs of it) in the cloud. My wife and I had good reason to be interested int that service and for the AppleTV it has an added benefit. The ATV can stream music from the iTunes cloud - that means my computer doesn't need to be running during the day for me to share music.

Best routing setup for a cappella recordings

I am a member of a Dutch a cappella group (www.intermezzo.nl) and want to record our vocals for a demo using Logic.
I'll be using one condenser microphone (C1) connected to a M-audio Projectmix.
I was wondering what the best routing would be for these recordings.
There will be quite a lot of doubling, so I will be using busses and/or aux channels
How can I best set up my arrange window? Please include tips for panning(should I pan each vocal of the same voice the same way or spread them), EQ, effects, channelstrips, bus and/or aux routing, master channelstrip setting etc.
Thanks for all the help!
G5 2.7GHz DP Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for the reply. This is already very usefull!
To make my recording situation a bit more clear, here's a scenario:
My group consists of four male singers, of whom one does some quite impressive beatboxing!
Normally we do our recording voice by voice, so we can edit in the mix without having spill into other micriphones. We use close-micing.
In the recording-stage we don't use any compression or reverb, since (in my experience) this causes latency in the monitoring (when I use software monitoring).
One of the demo's we want to record now is an arrangement of 'White Christmas" with a rap/beatbox twist in the middle...
This arrangement consists of four voices (bass, bariton, tenor and lead). Exept for the lead and Bass I was thinking of doubling the voices about three times in order to get a smooth sound. The reason why I don't double the lead and bass is because I think it will get too muddled. Am I right in thinking this?
I want to use some reverb etc. but is shouldn't sound too artificial.
The rap part though has to sound more procesed. Here a couple of tracks for beatbox will be added. What would be a good basic channelstrip-setting to begin with?
For the lead I was wondering what plugins I should use on the track, and what on the bus (and why...). What I now do is use a setting from the inserts and use no bus on the lead. With the other (backing)voices I use no insert on the tracks and use a bus where I take one of the inserts from the bus-channel (basically some vocal reverb setting).
I realize my question is quite complex and depends on taste... I am happy with any suggestions

Time Capsule best to dedicate for backup and usb external for other data or partition TC for dual

I have lots of video and photo and have 2TB drive on my iMAC and want to use TC for backup.
1) Since alot of video and photo, can plug in via ethernet or "cable/usb" vs. wireless to back up my main iMAC? Otherwise very slow via wireless and perhaps better to get Seagate Go Flex or WD and go Firewire right?
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
Here's my use case:
1) Time Machine tied to TC for the 2TB via wired to main machine iMAC - I only have this 1 iMAC.
2) Like to share data with iPhone and iPAD some pictures, etc... so do this with USB port and see data on the shared drive via iPhone and iPAD - no need to backup - just viewing - but need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
Sorry for multi questions - my first iMAC so still stumbling around to see what works best for me.
Thanks,
///don

If I understand your question, depending on the signal strength, backing up over Wi-Fi can be rather slow. An Ethernet connection would be much faster, particularly for the first backup, which will the the largest. Backing up to a locally-connected disk will be faster still.
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
I'm not sure what you mean by "mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC". It's not recommended to share the same volume for Time Machine output and other things.
need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
If you mean that you need wireless to give an iPhone or iPad access to the Internet, a Time Capsule would do that. If you want to give those devices access to content on a Time Capsule, that's still an immature technology, although things may improve with iOS 5 or updates beyond that.
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
A WIn7 computer will be able to see files on the drive(s) of a Time Capsule. I haven't tried that, but instructions are available.

Best 32" lcd for ps3 and tv

Hi all
I have been searching forever for the best 32" lcd to be used for ps3 and hdtv. I also will be using the blue-ray player alot. I was very disappointed in the 32" sony Braviakdl32l5000 i looked at today . Any help would be so appreciated!!!
Thanks

What didn't you like about it? There is a 1080p model with 120hz if you want to take a look at it. At that size, there's not much in the way of image quality but the one you looked at is ideal simply because it doesn't have 120hz processing which screws with your gaming image and introduces lag.
