Can AppleTV allow me to open a safari screen on my TV

Does AppleTV operate like a mac mini attached to my TV allowing me to essentially use my TV screen as a computer monitor?

No.
It's a media player that displays compatible iTunes media by streaming the file from iTunes to the unit.
It also allows film rentals (plus tv show rentals if in US), along with YouTube/Flickr access and some subscription sports material.

    With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
    Or, Command + N to open a new window.

  • HT4539 my ipad is disabled and I can not get it to open my main screen

    my ipad id disabled and I can not get it to open my main screen,  how can i regain access to the product

    If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Can i keep 1 page open in safari and not have any one close it

    Ok so i need to keep a page open in safari for a work thing but it needs to stay open all the time and cannot be closed.
    i have a macbook air and i need to ask if there is any program i can use to do that?
    kind regards,
    Steve

    Good morning Steve,
    It sounds as if you need to keep other people from making changes to your MacBook Air when you are away from it. One way to do this would be to allow the computer to go to sleep after a short period of inactivity, and to require a password to wake it. See this article for how to do this -
    OS X Yosemite: Require a password after waking your Mac
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can stop random tabs from opening in safari!

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" retina display2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8GB of space. I've been using safari 7.0.5. Almost every time I click on something in safari, a new tab opens. It's usually an advertisement or sign up page for a dating website. It's getting extremely annoying and I want to know how I can stop them from opening. I've already tried blocking pop up windows in preferences and it hasn't done anything. Please help!

    You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I can't get rid of pop-up ads, even though Firefox isn't allowing them to open, a new screen appears.

    As of a few days ago, almost every web site I visit, after the page opens, another screen opens with firefox asking to allow another site to open. It is an ad of some sort as I have opened 1 or 2 to check them out. I've been on a site with a catalog with multiply pages to go thru and every time I hit the next page, another pop up. I've checked off the options box to stop pop up's, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I watch netflix on a secondary screen - my TV - but since I downloaded the Firefox update I can only get Netflix to open a full screen to my laptop. I get a full scren on my TV through Safari, or from Hulu on either browser. What is going on?

    Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20. 
    Yes, just made sure of that.  I do have the latest version of Flash player.  But I have just staggered upon the answer.  Chalk it up to being a newbi.  I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
    you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV.  When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine.   Thanks again for your response.

  • I had my IPod rebooted at a store.  My 9yr old put a password on it and had to set it back to factory settings.  Now can't get it to open beyond the screen with the white apple.  I've tried to sync with Itunes, the it won't recognize the device.  HELP!

    Apple store reset my Ipod to factory setting, now can get Itunes to recognize the device.  The I Pod won't turn on past the first screen with the pic of the apple on it.

    Try the following:
    - A reset and then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    - The see if DFU mode will allow a restore.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If you can't turn the iPod full off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least a hour try the above again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can I have my dashboard over my safari screen again?

    I use my calculater on the widgets while looking at my bank statement.  Since switching to Leopard-i can't do that.  Or is there a calculator feature somewhere else?

    "Since switching to Leopard-i can't do that." I know you meant Lion.
    That was a nice feature. I did that as well. I haven't found a way yet to get that in Lion. I don't think it's possible.
    Templeton that was fast and neat.

  • How can I get my safari screen to open in full screen mode

    My Safari screen open with a small window, can I set it to open in full screen every time I click on Safari

    You need to enable the program to resume what it was doing. so go to:
    System Preferences > General > Uncheck "Close windows when quitting an application".
    then go to safari, size the window how you want it, in your case put it in full screen, and then quit the program. when you open up safari again it should be in full screen view.
    Hope that helps!

  • My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • Will current versions of Firefox emulate older Firefox versions of browsers like IE8 or allow someone to open with another browser in Safari?

    The compatibility function in IE8 allows me to emulate an older version of a browser when software won't work with IE8.
    I can emulate a different browser when I use Safari 5. Can you do this with Firefox?

    You could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] or the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2] add-on. These add-ons do not emulate IE, but allow you to open IE inside a Firefox tab for sites that do not work in Firefox.
    The main difference between the 2 versions of IE Tab is that IE Tab Plus supports the Adblock Plus add-on whilst in IE mode.

  • I recently added Maverick to my Mac Safari and downloaded a book to Digital Editions 2 on my computer. I downloaded the book to my Kobo but Kobo will not allow me to open the book. It says it belongs to Digital Editions and says something about my passwor

    I recently added Maverick to my Safari and downloaded a book from the library to Digital Editions 2 on my computer. When I downloaded the book to my Kobo, Kobo would not allow me to open it saying it was owned by Digital Editions and saying something about my password. Do I need to change to Digital Editions 3??

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!
