Bought a 65" Samsumng and Xbox --- What do I need for a receiver to hook into the speaker system ?
I have the Geek squad coming in to install in a week andwant to have them hook the built in speakers in the room . What type of receiver is needed to work with HDTV, Cable, and the XBOX one ?
Any experience on this ? The speakers currently have wired connections to a stereo system.
Any home theater system and or receiver that has HDMI will be sufficient.
However, I would strongly suggest going into your store and asking a sales rep directly.
You don't even need a receiver that has HDMI for that matter.
If your not going for surround sound but just 2 external speakers you don't need much.
You can have them hook up an AV receiver so that you use the receivers remote to switch between inputs. i.e. Xbox, Cable Box etc.
I have my sytem set up so all audio and video feeds into the TV iteself. then the audio out is the only input into the receiver. I then leave my receiver on the same input and just change the input on the TV. i.e. Xbox is input 4, BlueRay is input 5, TIVO is input 6 and external HDMI to my computer is input 1
Either way works fine, I simply prefer to have all inputs going to the TV.
If your just going to a 2 speaker setup you will want to look at 2.0 channel receivers. Either of these should work fine.

I bought an iPod mini and I was able to work on it one night. Now it says I need a 4 digits pass code to initiate and is blocked. What can I do?
You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

My ipod touch 5th generation was purchased brand new yesterday. After charging it and loading my music i went to plug it into my icoustic dock which I got as a bundle with the ipod only to have my ipod screen go blank and now it refuses to turn on, reset or get recognised by my computer or itunes. I have the latests software as it was only uploaded last night. Should I be taking it back to the shop? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?
No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

Just bought a new iPod Touch 16G - (I think it's a 5th gen.). I used my old iPod to record music rehearsals. This new iPod is stating that my old Belken mic (with new adaptor) is not compatible. Does this new iPod Touch have ability to record audio? If so, what do I need for a mic??
Thanks very much! I found the app, tested it, and it sounds fairly lifelike. Big help!!

,Just bought an apple iMac went to import music cd only to discover it doesn't have a cd/DVD player can't find any on the apple site what do I need to buy to import cd into ITunes
Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac. $79. I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie. Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.

I recently bought a new PC and when I transferred my photos a number of them became distorted- the top half was ok but the bottom half were color shifted. Also a number of them the top and bottom don't line up. How can I fix this?
Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes.
After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this! -
We bought a time capsule, 1TB, then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now? Does APPLE do not provide latest firmware for this item?
How old is that Time Capsule? The fact that it still have firmware 7.3.1 suggests that it's not the latest model. The latest firmware available for my two-year-old model is version 7.5.2. Apple does provide firmware updates. You just have to let the Time Capsule download and install them. Use AirPort Utility to do that.
Regarding your Wi-Fi problem, please explain what you mean by "it does not identify the existing wireless network".

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.
Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there. -
I have garage band on my I pad and from what I can tell I have done everything right with the latest updates and icloud enabled on the i pad and app. A cloud is in the upper right corner of the song but when I look on my icloud drive on a internet browser on my PC it is not there. Any reason why?

i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.
The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html
