Can i turn off any remote control or lock the Apple TV for use with AirPlay only?
I am using multiple Apple TV's in a business environment within one network. It all works fine except the fact that people with a remote control or remote app can configure them, which is unwanted. Is there any way to lock the Apple TV so it cannot be used by any remote feature anymore? Or is there another suggestion that might solve my issue?
Block the IR receiver to stop physical remotes from working.
Use an Apple ID that no one else has for enabling Home Sharing, or don't enable it.
The Remote app requires Home Sharing be enabled on the ATV and that the ATV and iOS device use the same Apple ID.

Universal dock can't turn on by remote control
when i remotely turned off my nano 3G it can back turn on by remote control. but some hours later i can't turn on remotely.
Hello there Struth23,
Sounds like you may need to reset the iPhone or put it into recovery mode to resolve the issue if it is to do with the software.
From iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And if needed, iTunes: Restoring iOS software

My iPad is not charging when I pluged in and its keep turning off and on (it just shows the apple logo). I even changed the charger so what else can I do to start my iPad?
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY. -
I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.
This is the same as what happened to customers in most of the rest of the world in a past release, and it's because carriers want to stop supporting older transport methods.
There's nothing you can do about it other than complain to your carrier, as they're likely the ones who asked Apple to remove the option. -
my phone doesn't want to turn off or on, it gives me the apple logo and doesn't turn on at all, help please??
Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
Any tips are very much appreciated.Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it) Or go into an Apple Store. -

Can I turn off certain classes of icons in the finder.
In general I like the 10.5 idea of making the icons for files be a preview of their contents, but there are some, like pdf or doc (sorry) files where I can actually visually process them much easier if they retained their old style generic icon.
Is there any default I could set with the Finder that would enable me to keep all files of a given file type generic?Bill:
I agree with your comment; it's Excel spreadsheets that are the problem for me -- I have a bunch of text files from a database in a directory with the converted Excel versions. It would be easier for me if the Excel files still had their old icons so I could tell them from the text files.
However, I think you might have better luck if this was in another forum; the UNIX forum doesn't seem like the right place for it. (I stumbled onto this message while looking for some advice on using Terminal.) -

My daughters ipod touch will not turn off and is frozen on the Apple icon screen. Tried to update software, didn't work. Tried to restore, didn't work. Does anybody know what else to try?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Can't turn off Verbose Mode after running disk defrag in minimal environment using Drive Genius 3
New to posting on here. I'm using a
Mid-2009 15in MacBook Pro
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB memory
After running Disk Defrag in a minimal environment using Drive Genius 3 my MacBook Pro only starts up in Verbose Mode.
I've done my searching on how to turn verbose mode on and off on the web and it gets me nowhere.
Using
sudo nvram –p
in terminal shows that there is no " v" after " boot-args "
Using
sudo nvram boot-args=
to turn it off hasn't done anything.I'm having the same issue but the solution suggested by prosoft doesn't work because that file des not exist.
Prosoft was able to help me.
First, FileVault is not reccomended and they are adding a FAQ to address that. Next, they said to trash this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
and to restart. It seemed to have worked for me.
If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be grateful.
Many Thanks. -

Why is my iphone 4s asking for my credit card details when trying to download a 'free' torch App? newby!
Because many free apps have in-app purchases. And it's also a way for iTunes to verify you're an adult.
You can log into iTunes on your computer and select your payment options to be 'None'.
