Can apple TV be used on its own - i.e. without homesharing?

Is it necessary to have a desk-top logged in to iTunes and homeshare? Or can we just lon on to itunes store from apple tv itself. And purchase/rent content?

It connects, and signal is excellent. I have no security! The IP Address is DHCP 192.168.1.113.
Sir Churchill, i will send you a box of cigars if you can get this up and running

    I want to give Apple TV as a gift to someone who will soon move there.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, it will work anywhere. You may however not have all the features that are elsewhere, depending on what is available in SA.

  • Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to TV?

    Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to television?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV can't stream content from the Internet, unless it is through a pre-installed app that runs on the Apple TV, of which there are about a dozen.
    You'd need to elaborate on your question, if you want further information.

  • Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

    can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

    The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
    Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.

  • Can Apple TV be used to connect OS X to TV as monitor?

    I am looking for a way to use my TV as monitor (and maybe use the TV speakers as well) for my Macbook Pro but connect to the TV over the network. Can Apple TV be used for something like this?
    Any other idea?

  • Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

    Hello.
    Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
    Thank you in advance.

    Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
    Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?

  • Can Apple TV be used to make the tv the desktop display?

    I would like to use apple tv to use a flatscreen TV as the desktop display while my video port is used by a projector. Is that possible with Apple TV?

    No, sorry you can't do that.
    AppleTV is in effect a stripped down Mac rather than a device that streams the video output from another device.
    The AppleTV display output is generated by the AppleTV, so the device can only handle a limited set of media types either streamed to it wirlessly or synced to it's hard drive (plus some YouTube functionality).
    AppleTV decodes and renders the media data rather than iTunes.
    If iTunes rendered the data and sent the frames to AppleTV or allowed other apps to replicate the desktop it would be great, but it doesn't.

  • Can I give a certain JSP its own thread pool?

    Hey all,
              The application I'm working on needs to give a certain JSP its own thread pool so that it does not effect the performance of the other pools. I can create the new thread pool and am trying to set the value in web.xml. Here's my entry:
              <servlet>
              <servlet-name>??????</servlet-name>
              <jsp-file>/search/*.jsp</jsp-file>
              <init-param>
                   <param-name>wl-dispatch-policy</param-name>
              <param-value>search</param-value>
              </init-param>
              </servlet>
              Since this is just a JSP can you tell me what I should set the <servlet-name> to?
              Thanks for the help.

  • Theft of pc - can Apple help track use of registered pc?

    Our home was just robbed and our home pc which was the registered itunes account was stolen.
    Can Apple help track activity in order to help locate the hardware?

    A good idea would be to contact Apple's iTunes Store customer service and let them know your account has been compromised. It may not get your computer back, but at least your credit card number which you opened the account with could not be used to purchase items at the store.

    I would also ask that the credit card number be changed by the credit card company.

  • Where can I get Net 8 on its own for new remote installation?

    I require to install Net 8 on a remote SQL Server/Windows 2000 Server and as the connection is very delicate I need to just copy the installation file for Net 8 across.
    I have it in our 9i pack and on the Oracle Forms and reports CD but how do I get it on its own? Is in on a resource pack?

    I haven't seen a small (standard) install since 7.3.x. Do you need 8.0.x or 8.1.x?
    I guess you could try in your PC first to customize a stage area to cut down on some subdirs/files. Maybe it's easier to just send the CD by mail?
    At a minimum OCI, Net and RSF files are required, maybe ~50MB (or less?). But there's no real minimal standard Client install. (Maybe 10g Instant Client will change that!)

  • Troubles with the sleeper: how can I avoid it restarting on its own?

    When on sleeper, my MacPro early 2008 restarts on its own after a while.
    Until very recently, it worked perfectly well.

    I wonder if the the troubles I have with the sleeper and with the start button are not linked with an issue on the main disk. Apparently, I need to repair my main drive:

    - the numner of volume directories is not valid.

  • Can Apple TV be used as a back up drive

    I'm looking for a external hard drive to link to a couple of macs using Airport - I noticed that the Apple TV comes with a 160GB drive - which should be enough for my needs - is it possible for me to use the Apple TV to store regular files as well as movies, music and photos?
    Thanks

    What USB drive are you using? Any recommendations -
    I'd really like one that shares the same form factor
    as the
    AEBS and the Apple TV so I can ultimately stack
    them.
    Well, the AEBS at 6.5" X 6.5" and the Apple TV at 7.7" X 7.7" aren't exactly the same size, and I'm not sure there is a USB hard drive that stacks perfectly on top the Apple TV. However, Lacie makes a stackable drive with the exact same dimensions as the Mac mini and the AEBS. Newer Tech sold by Other World Computing also makes a stackable drive exactly the same size as the AEBS and Mac mini. I own the Newer Tech "miniStack" so I know a little more about that one. It's a combo Firewire/USB2 drive that doubles as a hub:

  • Can Apple TV be used on a HDTV without HDMI port? If yes, what is needed for setting up?

    I have a Sony wega HDTV, and it does not have HDMI port, does anyone know if I can use Apple TV on it? If so, how is it set up?

    Current AppleTVs require a TV with HDMI.
    You may find some dubious adapters out there which purport to convert to other formats.
    If your Tv has VGA in and an audio input you might want to look at:
