Can I use my ATV anywhere?

Can I use my atv(2) anywhere that has wifi and a tv with hdmi inputs after I've set it all up at home? Wanted to take it with me on vacation and wondered why this wouldn't work anywhere that has wifi.
Thanks

yeah
but many places with wifi will send a browser to a login page where you have
to type in a code a free or one you pay for
you for obvious reasons cant do that on the atv

    can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
    If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

  • Can I use Mac Pro for a server?

    I hope this is the right place to ask this....
    I have an older Mac Pro G5 (10.5.8) Desktop.  I cannot update it past Leopard. So now I have a newer MacBook Pro.  I was wondering if I could utilize my old Mac Pro as some sort of "server"?
    It has the origninal smaller drive but I added an additional 1TB SATA drive that is just sitting there doing nothing.
    I rip a lot of movies to my MacBook Pro so I am already out of storage on it.   I keep moving movie files to my Time Capsule (1TB) in which I have partitioined off 300MB to use for media storage.
    I have an Apple TV that I connect to my MacBook Pro but when I'm gone, the family can't use the ATV.
    So, all that being said, can I somehow set up my older Mac Pro to use as a "server" and move all my media/photos/videos/songs to?  Or should I just copy everything to the 1TB drive on the Mac Pro and just access it through ATV like I do my MBP?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ehren

    You absolutely could use your old Mac Pro as a server, however you still won't be able to update it passed 10.5.8.
    That said, you should be able to store your media on it, and share it to your AppleTV through iTunes, barring any incompatibilites with the older software. I haven't looked into the system requirements for home sharing in a while. You might want to take a quick check and make sure everything is good to go.

  • Can I use ATV(2) and Airplay from iPad without a network?

    I'm going on holiday to a rented villa which has a TV (which I assume has an HDMI port) but there is no internet connection, therefore no router or local WiFi network.  I'd like to be able to play content from my iPad and/or iPhone via Airplay on the TV using my AppleTV (2) (which I could easily take with me).
    However, experimenting at home, it seems that ATV won't do anything at all unless connected to a WiFi network.  Airplay works fine even if the network is not connected to the internet; even purchased content seems to be ok (but DRM free - I haven't bought any non-DRM-free music).  However, without a separate WiFi router, ATV doesn't seem to do anything.  In particular, my iPad doesn't "see" it, and can't connect to it, unless both are connected to an existing network.
    I don't understand why this should be so.  Should it not be possible to connect two WiFi devices (eg iPad and ATV) to each other without needing a router?
    I can get it to work if I use my MBP to set up a WiFi network by using Internet Sharing to share my (non-existent) ethernet connection using Airport.  Airplay then works between my iPad and ATV.  However, this is a rather clumsy arrangement - I'd been hoping I wouldn't need to take my MBP with me for that week.
    So, am I doing anything wrong, or is this (Airplay from iPad to ATV without a router) just something ATV can't do?  And is it "can't do" (ie ATV has the wrong chipset or something) or "won't do" (ie Apple have set it up so it won't work like this)?  And if it's "won't do", any chance Apple will provide this functionality in the future?

    After submitting this, I found an answer to a similar question last December (Can I create an ad-hoc (WiFi) network between my iPhone and Apple TV?); basically saying that you need the router; but I'll leave this as a question (a) to help others find it, because I looked before I submitted and didn't find a relevant discussion and (b) just in case someone else has a better idea......

    You could take the airport and setup a wifi network without Internet. The atv2 can connect without Internet access to a wifi network setup with a router. Be patient when it connects, it tries to establish an Internet connection and it takes a while to find there isn't one!! Eventually it offers to connect without Internet. Once connected you can stream to it as usual. One word of caution - don't disable home sharing, if you do and re-activate it the atv2 seems to need an Internet connection to verify your account.
    I did precisely this recently when I had to wait for a couple of weeks for Internet to be connected at my new house.
    But, you need the router - unlike iPhone, iPad etc the atv2 will not connect to an ad hoc network.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • 2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I  can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
    what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

  • Can't use Airplay after 7.0.2 ATV 3 update!!

    I can't use Airplay at all on my upgraded 7.0.2 ATV3. No audio and no video. I can have the picture up and running on the iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6 and try to send it to the ATV 3. I get an "unable to send video" warning on the unit sending the airplay but absolutely nothing on the ATV 3 screen. Then Airplay unchecks the ATV 3 and defaults back to the iPad or iPhone.
    Using the same iPad and iPhone, I just tried to use the other non-updated ATV 3 in my den and there was absolutely no problem. I just tried to send something from my Mac Mini to the updated ATV 3 and it wasn't even showing as an airplay option although it was there Friday night! The non-updated ATV is still shown as an option. I've checked the ATV3 settings and nothing has changed. I've forgotten and renewed the network on the ATV 3 and it's testing fine.
    Anybody have any clues? I've checked everything I know how to check!  The only conclusion I can come to is that the update bricked my Apple TV when it comes to Airplay!.

    After many starts and restarts, I've finally got it working again. Don't know what caused it to start working again.
    Tried to delete/change the original post, but it wouldn't let me edit it!

  • Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere

    Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere. I already tried completely removing every file it has, reinstalling it, and I went through the process of reinstalling Adobe Flash a couple of times. I'm using a PC. This has been going on for 3 days, it hasn't worked even once. It all seemed to have started right after I updated Google chrome, but Shockwave won't work on any browser, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Please help!

    Please (search first, then) ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player
