Can I use AppleTV with a monitor only?

I no longer have cable TV access (not enough value for its cost).
Can I use AppleTV with just a wide screen monitor?

Personally I'd go for a TV rather than a monitor as the monitor resolutions will not necessarily tie in with the expected AppleTv output resolutions 480p/576p/720p/1080i or 1080p. An HD ready TV with a lower than fullHD panel is still likely to work better than a monitor not suite designed for 16:9 signals, though the boundaries are becoming blurred.
Take a look at the AppleTV specs as content playback is more limited for video than you might realise without files in the appropriate format, and a MacMini might be worth considering with Front Row.

Can you use Appletv with iPhone only?

A friend has an iPhone, no Mac, still running a pc. Wants to get an ATV2. Can she use it with just an iPhone?

She can use it with iTunes on the PC.
Renting movies/internet based functions do not require a computer at all.
An iPhone 4 (and 3GS I think) can send compatible media to AppleTV2 via the Airplay function - computer not essential for this.

Can I use AppleTV with no network at all?

As I understand it, once I get everything synched to an AppleTV, a network is no longer required (the ATV just plays everything stored on its own hard drive) until and unless I buy another CD, movie, or TV episode, at which case I have to get it onto the AppleTV.
Assuming I don't do a whole lot of buying of new material, would it be possible to just forget about the network altogether? Here's what I would do: When synching, I would (temporarily) move the computer down to where the AppleTV is, and connect it directly via an Ethernet cable. Then after I get it synched, I move the computer back upstairs and call it solved. No network, and the AppleTV just plays everything directly from its own HD. Assuming it has enough HD space to play my entire collection, which (if I buy the 160GB version) it would.
I mean, I suppose I could just use the computer to create its own network via Internet Sharing, but if I understand this correctly, I would have to leave the computer 'awake' all the time (I assume putting the computer to sleep would shut down any network thus created). Is this correct? Then again, going by my original question - forgetting about the network, and the ATV playing everything 'locally' - I suppose it wouldn't matter if the computer was awake or not, since unless I had something new to sync, it wouldn't use the network anyway. Am I close?

Yes, if you put the computer to sleep, any network created is shut down until the computer wakes again.
This may be a silly question, but...the network will come back with the same settings, right? So I wouldn't need to reprogram anything on the AppleTV's end?
Also, how much space do TV shows take when they're downloaded from iTunes? The show I'm interested in has 26 episodes of about 45 minutes each. How much space would this take?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If your Mac is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can watch your DVD in your TV with the Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 You just have to play the DVD on your MacBook and turn on AirPlay Mirroring.
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party app like Beamer

Can I use my IPad to monitor 2 web cams in my children's rooms? How, and what do I need?

How can I use my IPad to monitor 2 web cams wirelessly in my children's rooms?

Search for webcam apps in the app store. Most work only with specific cameras. Check the manufacturer of yours and see if they offer an iOS app.

I have a MBP Retina LCD (resolution 2880x1800) and in the office I use it with a Monitor Sony LMD-2450W connected by VGA. After installing 10.9.2 the resolution in the monitor has been downsized to 4:3 (and 1280x960) instead of its 16:9 display. Anyone know how can I change the resolution manually?
Display shows only 3 different resolution if I choose "scaled" but none use the full area of the monitor.
Thank you
Marco

This has been an ongoing problem with external monitors that predates 10.9.2. I wrote various tips on different methods here, though the best is probably the hot corner one:

Can I use iMac as a monitor?

Can I use iMac as a monitor to plug my media player to it? That is only turn on the iMac Mon, not the OS X.
If yes, how?
Many thanks

No. All methods of using the iMac as a display require interaction with the OS installed on it.

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,
Sean

The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

Using mapviewer with database installation only ?

using mapviewer with database installation only ?
i have installed oracle database 11g on windows
the enterprise manager already relies on the ocj4 ('http://orcl:1158/em')
if i open 'http://orcl:1158' i get the start page for the appllication server - by clicking on 'manage applications' i come to the enterprise manager start page (i thinked, i can uplaod some ear application file, sinve oc4j is present for the em)
its possible to install the mapviewer.ear with this database installation only (since the oc4j is present for the em) - or i have to install the oc4j too?
thx

You should be able to deploy MapViewer in this OC4J. Take a look on chapter 1 of the MapViewer User's Guide for information about deploying MapViewer in an Oracle application server.

How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
system. Is this right?
How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
sample code?

The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
"objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

I'm using Kodo 2.4.0, Oracle 9i, JBoss 3.0.4, the Kodo jars are in the

Well, I'll show what I have...
This is the script of my table:
CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE
PRIMARY KEY ( VOYAGEID ) ) ;
This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:
<class name="LineupVoyage" objectid-class="LineupVoyageId"
identity-type="datastore">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="LINEUP_VOYAGE"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="sequence"
value="LINEUP_VOYAGEID_SEQ"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="VOYAGEID"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
<field name="vesselName">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
value="VESSEL_NAME"/>
</field>

</class>
As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
And this is my class:
package br.com.fertimport.entity;
import java.util.*;
public class LineupVoyage {
     private String vesselName;
//     private long id;
//     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }
//     public long getId() { return id; }
//     public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
     public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
     public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
vesselName; }
The "id" attribute is commented.
Now the questions...
To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
application or datastore?
Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
use this property to represent my object id?
If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
(entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff
in the web tier. Is this possible?

Can I use Muse with an existing website?*

I have several existing websites. A couple have more than 40,000 files already. Can I use Muse with an existing website?

Why exactly does Muse not support HTML import?
Muse and HTML generators like it only deal with HTML at the very end of production... at export. These generators have their own system (not based on HTML) of arranging text & graphics and structuring page relationships. These kinds of apps have never been able to import HTML. As the world moves to more dynamic web sites (database driven and server-side scripted), it becomes even more unlikely that an HTML generator will ever import HTML.

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
