Can I use my built in airport network to sync to my apple tv?

I have an ibook. And Create a network with airport in the menu bar. But the apple tv doesn't show this network. I do not have a base station and i do not have the internet. But I have no touble finding the my ibook network with my imac.
The question is:
Can I use my built in airport in my mac to connect wireless to my apple tv?
ibook intel   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Well, I'm just using my Mac Mini's ariport to create a network between it and my AppleTV. No Airport Extreme base station or anything.
The reason his setup may not work is because he said he also has no internet... and the AppleTV needs an internet connection to function.
My biggest problem was: When I first tried my network, I wasn't able to get it to work unless I turned off my firewall entirely. (I had 'unblocked' all the required ports, but apparently the firewall would really only 'unblock' either the Internet OR the Ethernet, but not both for some reason (according to Mac Tech Support)... and since Internet sharing was required to get my AppleTV to the interet - no love.)
But now, for some reason, (maybe one of those recent OSX updates...) my network seems to work fine with my Firewall running (proper ports 'checked'), so I'm not complaining, and haven't had to invest in an Airport Extreme yet - which is nice, since my Airport signal is full strength coming from the Mini.

  • Can Mail remember SMTP with am airport network?

    I,
    I have searched these forums to no avail...
    I seem to remember that MAil is suposed to be able to remember your outgoing SMTP server
    along with the Airport network.
    Can't find a setting in mail for this. IS it there somewhere?
    I, like many hop between airport networks ,and it would be great to have mail remember and know
    which SMTP server to use on a specific airport network.
    TIA and regards

    Mail has no way of knowing how you are connected. You would need to create new accounts mail; the POP details can't be duplicated from an existing account, so just enter garbage but add the new SMTP details. Go into 'Advanced' and uncheck 'include when automatically checking for new mail' (or you will get lots of error messages).
    Now when you answer or create a message you will have the option to choose a different account for a different SMPT server.

  • Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

    I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
    Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
    Any input is appreciated.

    I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
    Re: automatic row fetch
    What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

    How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
    I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
    Thanks

    Simple question with a not so simple answer.
    (a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations.  Digital video is processor intensive.  The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it.  If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus.  You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
    (b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
    How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
    This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
    (2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
    Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
    Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
    iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
    Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
    (If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
    (4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
    If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    (5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo.  For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

    As of June 2010 I no longer maintain this FAQ. I’ve migrated to Lightroom 3, which I use for all my organizing and most of my editing (I still use the Photoshop Elements Editor for more involved editing).  Adobe has clearly decided not to invest sufficient resources for properly maintaining the Photoshop Elements Organizer– see my Amazon review of PSE 8. Lightroom is marketed to professionals and prosumers with tens of thousands of photos who demand adequate organizational capabilities, whereas Photoshop Elements is marketed to consumers, most of whom do not want or use the Organizer.
    This page captures my answers to frequent questions about Photoshop Elements 6, 7, and 8 (Windows).  It’s mostly about the Organizer, since I know the Organizer much better than the Editor.
    The versions to which each FAQ applies are indicated with the notation [PSE 6, 7, 8]. If I’m not sure whether something applies to a version, it will be indicated with a question mark, e.g. [PSE 7, 8?].

  • Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

    Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

    Backups from multiple Macs are always kept separate. Each Mac TM will create its own sparsebundle and will not interfere with others.
    Using the accounts in AU will simply make each sparsebundle only accessible to that user.. ie it is a purely a security measure.. that is so weak as to be useless .. anyone can bypass it by pressing the reset for 1sec.
    And what it will do is cut off everyone from their existing backups.. you will be warned when you set it up that what is about to happen may not be 100% goodness.. pay attention.. it is not.

    So the phone is encrypted or locked in england on o2 network

    There is NO solution other than already described
    O2 locked the iPhone as they subsidised the original price
    when sold new
    Therefore ONLY O2 can unlock the iPhone
    it is NOTHING to do with Apple they have no authority
    to unlock an iPhone
    Apple do NOT lock iPhones ,carriers do
    simple no debate
    If you purchased through eBay raise a claim

    If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
    So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

  • Can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    Yes.
    You need to sign into home sharing using ONE Apple ID. So either pick yours or hers, use the same one for home sharing on the computers. Once they are signed in on both Macs you can access media that the other user purchased.
    Click the 'Shared House' for her library (if you have the sidebar enabled) when you are in your iTunes to access her media & vice versa, both iTunes needs to be running & awake.
