  • When I open a music in itunes got a message "connecting to apple tv" and got no sound from my mac

    When I open a music in itunes got a message "connecting to apple tv" and got no sound from my mac.

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT1420 I run my business with Apple computers and personally own about 20 of which I personally use more than 5 of these. I can't authorize more than 5. Is there any way around this?

    I run my business with Apple Computers and own more than 20. I personally use more than 5 devices both at home and at the office but can't "authorize" more than 5. Is there anyway around this problem? Thanks

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

    Did you purchase this product direct from Apple online, in an Apple Store, or through a third-party authorized reseller? Or did you buy it from an original owner whose Applecare plan was supposed to be transitioned to a new owner, by them?
    Do you have an original shipping carton the unit arrived in?
    If the product was a retail 'open carton' purchase and no
    back-track is possible, contact the reseller.
    And if the computer had seen a major service with logic
    board replaced, etc, it may have other issues with serial
    number vs one they may have assigned it. Usually a
    new logic board may have the SN flashed or if a unit
    was determined to be a reman, a new # assigned. But
    that would appear in System Profiler, if officially reman.
    If you registered a product anywhere with Apple, it would show on a web page along with its serial numbers, going back several years, at this page after you log in there.
    https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    A blue text with triangle See all products and services opens an Apple ID
    sign-in window, then the page changes to show your items & info about them.
    If you run the serial number through online Lookup, what appears?

    Not sure if this helps, 'your product' should appear - if registered.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Apple TV and shared external HDD questions

    I just ordered my 160gb Apple TV today. I can't wait to get it. I do have a few questions though.
    Can the Apple TV sync and/or stream from an external HDD that is connected to the airport extreme and can it do this with the host PC and/or Mac with iTunes (I have both) turned off? Both computers access the same library shared on the external HDD.
    If the above question can be done, can I buy music etc. from the apple tv directly and than have it sync to the external HDD first and then to the PC when powered on from the external HDD?
    Hopefully these questions make sense.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Bummer, thanks for the fast reply. I thought it may be possible because on the apple tv page on apple.com it has an ad touting the enhanced streaming capabilities when paired with the airport extreme and since the airport extreme allows you to add an external HDD to be available wirelessly and shared with multiple computers it would seem that the scenario I posted above would work.
    If there are any other recommendations and or Tweaks to get close to this please let me know.
    Maybe the update will add this functionality.

  • IPhoto and shared files

    I used my MacBook Air via a hotel free wifi. When I went to transfer photos from my camera to the computer, iPhoto displayed shared files including holiday photos of a person I do not know, and worst of all, ***********. There seemed to be hundreds of files there. I never joined any sharing networks, so how did this happen? How do I avoid it in future?

    You were seeing other computers on that network. Unless you transferred files, nothing on your computer was affected.

  • Unable to print to Canon iR-Adv C5045 from MacBook Pro that is connected to Windows computer and shared on the network

    I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network.  I am connected to the network by ethernet.
    I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
    When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out.  I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed.  Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed.  Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?

    You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
    If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier.

  • I just connected to apple express and now my printer (hp office jet j5780) doesn't print.

    I just connected to Apple Express network and now my printer no longer prints. Do I need a different driver.

    If you changed routers your printer is still looking for your old one.  Here is how to get it back:
    1. On the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.
    2. From the same Network menu run the Wireless Setup Wizard.
    3. Now, on your computer add the printer.  I'd help more but cannot unless I know what operating system you are using.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
    I am employed by HP

  • Can't make a connection between Apple TV and Epsom projector?

    When i set this up the screen opens fine for about 5 seconds (apple icon visible) but then disappears and subsequently blinks between a blank screen and the default projector home screen. The epsom projector doesnt have hdmi so i use a VGA adapter to connect the Apple TV to the vga cable. by the way, i have ruled out hardware probs as the vga cable works fine connected to a PC, plus te Apple TV works on a Hdmi projector in the building. has anybody had similar experience, or wisdom on this? thanks

    could be 2 things
    1. the appletv default use a resolution the projector dont support
    solution is to connect it to somethign which does and lower the appletv resolution
    2. it's a hdcp issue as VGA don't support hdcp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection

  • HT202157 is it possible to connect an Apple TV and a Roku to your tv without first disconnecting one or the other?

    Is it possible to connect both an Apple TV and Roku without first disconnecting one or the other. In other words, connecting both devices to the tv simultaneously? I'm sure it depends on the number of ports, audio/tv available, and if so, do they make a splitter that would accomodate this???

    Hi. Got to App Store and download the Remote app. It's an app that makes your iPad or iPhone a remote for the Apple TV! I like it especially if you need to type a lot text.

  • Apple TV and sharing purchase on iPad

    Purchased a full season TV show on our Apple TV, and works fine. However, we would like to watch it on our iPad and its not showing up. Any suggestions?  (This is a purchase not a rental)

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

  • Confusion with 2 apple computers and 3 i-touches

    Can anyone help?
    Own an iMac, an apple laptop, and 3 itouches.
    The laptop got downloaded with 3 movies purchased on iTunes. The first itouch is in sync with the laptop and plays the 3 movies fine.
    The other 2 itouches are in sync with the iMac. The two itouches can download the movies from the laptop, but will not play. Get message on the 2 itouches "Movie can not be played"
    Again, can anyone help?

    Pretty much you only want to sync your iPods with one computer. It doesn't matter which one, but one is best.
    Your movies are DRM'd and therefore can only play on the the device they were downloaded to. If you synced the touch to your MacBook, that's the touch that is authorized to play that movie.
