Can you block the AppleTV update message?

We have a school full of Apple TVs.  Teachers project from iPads with Airplay.  When Apple provides an update, the AppleTV brings up a message asking if you want to update - you have to select the answer with the Apple TV remote.  The problem is that teachers do not have the AppleTV remotes and AirPlay will not work while the message is up.  Don't really want to distribute the remotes.  Would rather stop the update message.  possible?

The only worakround without hacking (which is not supported, can't be discussed anyway, and not possible on all ATVs) might be to block internet access to the update server from your routers if someone can provide the IP address or range, but this might have other knock on consequences.

    Assuming that you're not in a country that restricts or censors internet access, or connected to a LAN that does so (i.e. some dormatory and office systems):
    1. Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Disable WiFi and update using cell data network.

  • Can you block the clear history function on safari?

    how do you block the clear history function and is it possible to limit the number of places visited in the history?

    I don't believe that you can "block" the clear history function but you can set the limit for the number of places visited in history.
    I don't know what OS or Safari versions you are using but select the appropriate version of "Safari Enhancer" at the authors website.

  • Are there parental controls on the nano?  Can you block the 'games'?

    Help! I am trying to help a friend to young son just received a nano for Christmas. His friends are using the nano more for games than music (why I don't know...) but my friend wants to block the 'games' on her son's new nano before he figures out that there are games. I know you can keep the 'games' off the main menu but can you block them entirely? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
    iPod Nano (2G)   Other OS  

    No you can't block the games, and to be honest I don't see the point anyway !
    What kind of spoilsport parents buy a present and then wants to disable a harmless set of very simple games.
    They are using it for games because it is fun and they are enjoying themselves!!!
    Maybe there should be a 'No Fun' option on the iPod, and only allow miserable music to be installed.....

  • Do you need OVi suite or can you use the PC update...

    Sorry if this is a daft question but I am not 100% sure what these various bits of software do.
    I used the Ovi suite to install the free maps on my E72 which work great but the software itself is very poorly written, too many bugs and problems so i would like to uninstall it and use the PC suite instead.
    Question is can I now update my phone using the PC suite with it's updater software or do I have to now rely on the Ovi suite.
    The reason I ask instead of having two pieces of software is i want to a Vista/XP (two machines) clean install followed by a Ghost DVD so the smaller image the better (plus i dont like to have **bleep** installed on my machine:-)

    Thank you for contacting the Nokia Careline.
    We understand that you are having issues with Ovi Suite application and you are looking for 2.2 version.
    At this point, we do not have any information for the release date of Ovi Suite 2.2 version. If you are having issues with Ovi Suite, you still have the option to use PC Suite application. You need to uninstall the Ovi Suite application and install PC Suite to your computer.
    Please refer to the link provided below to download the PC Suite application.

    if you would like to update the phone software without doing it on the handset (some models)
    or by using OVI suite try

  • Can you block the guest account from downloading files?

    I need to setup the guest account so that it is able to use the internet, but is unable to download any type of file. i.e. pirated software, music, books, movies, etc. I would also like to disable eternal drives from mounting. My wife and I are looking at doing a coffee shop in a South East Asian country, and we heard that the local cops like to send somebody in and download illegal content and then come and confiscate your computer. So I want to be able to completely block all types of file downloads, and disable the use of usb drives etc.. Thanks

    I don't believe there is any way to prevent file downloading if you allow internet access at all. as Király says, whatever they download and install will be limited to the guest account and will go poof on the logout.
    however you can disable CD/DVD and external drives access. some of it can be done by enabling parental controls on the guest account. for more options you can install server admin tools
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/ServerAdmin_Tools_105
    and use workgroup manager to set further restrictions on the guest account.
    P.S. workgroup manager can also forbid guest to mount disk images which will effectively make it impossible to install any programs at all even in the guest account.

  • Can you block a person from messaging you

    Im trying to block someonw from messaging my daughter is there anyway to do that?

    You can also shoot a person in front of a greenscreen and make them actually look like they're in another movie, if that's what you're asking. Similar to this:

  • How can you have the "chat"  or "message" site on Facebook show both your end of the conversation , and the other persons as well without going back to "message to hear the other parties response?

    Does anyone know how to have both your message and the person you are messaging show up on Facebook as it does in chat. Chat does not work on my iPad as it does on the computer. I use "messages". But have to keep going back to messages to here the reply.

    It is my blog... maybe you'll find more info there. I'm a big fan of shapes in all their forms, and of advanced/shared actions.

  • Can you block the onscreen keyboard of iphone while using airplay mirroring with apple tv?

    i would like to use airplay mirroring for presentations but when logining into say youtube or email i do not want my keyboard being replicated on the big screen. Is there an option just to mirror everything except the keyboard?

    mirroring size if perfect, i want to block out the on screen keyboard when loggin into something or any typing what so ever. This would be more for privacy when doing extended presentations where i would not like to go in, shut the mirroring off type my password into xxxx and then reapply mirroring to continue on with my display.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

    Hello pryan1012,
    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
    I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

  • How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5

    How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5?

    If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.
