Cool Apple TV Set Up

I just got the Apple TV and I am very happy with my set up. I use a Denon 3806 Receiver with two component outputs -- one runs to a LCD TV in a cabinet in the Den, the other runs to a smaller LCD mounted above my refrigerator in the kitchen (all with hidden wires). There are in-ceiling speakers in the Den and Kitchen. The Apple TV runs to the Receiver via component and optical connection. What I love about this set up is that it allows me to have all of the equipment hidden in a cabinet and controlled by a Harmony 890 remote. I use the tv above the refrigerator as a monitor to display the Apple TV menus and digital photos -- the sound is awesome and this is a terrific and convenient way to listen to my digital music library and display my collection of digital photos.
  Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Yes, but it takes a bit of set up -- there are a couple of posts in this forum explaining that you need to set up the Apple TV as an Ipod dock in the Harmony set up software. This works much better that having the remote learn commnads. Also, here is a link to a very thorough explanation of how to set up the remote. http://www.livingwithmac.com/apple-tv-and-harmony-remote
One thing to note is that if you assign functions to various buttons in the Harmony software make sure to assign the "volume up" function to the direction up button as opposed to "next track" or "fast forward"
Good Luck

    i have a windows based pc and on iTunes i have downloaded some movies.  i have an apple tv set up under a different account.  how can i stream the movies from my pc to someone else's apple tv?

    If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

  • I cant seem to download my recent purchases from my ipad2 to my iphone 4s. Although my home sharing is on and so is my apps and music sharing in the itunes/apple stores setting?? HELP!!

    I signed into my icloud and apple id, in both my home sharing and itunes/apple stores setting. Then i tried going to my itunes>downloads>purchased and it showed all my purchased music from my ipad. It had the icloud download button next to the music, so i clicked download all, but when downloads are finished no music has transferred over to my music center. Tried signing out of my icloud/apple id, turning off and on my phone, turning off my ipad, and resetting my phone, but still not luck.. Can anyone HELP!! Thanks!!

    @roaminggnome...Can you explain how to do that?  I have homesharing turned on, but not all of my music on my Mac appears on my Book.  I made a playlist on the Mac called "mom's music" but that playlist doesn't show up on the Book...AND all of the music is on MY iphone, but most of it is missing on my husband's iphone.

  • Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality it takes like a whole day for a movie to download before we can watch it

    Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality as it can take a whole day to download a movie before we can watch it??

    The video/audio display settings should set automatically for the best your TV can handle (720p AppleTV2, 1080p AppleTV3).
    The download resolution for rentals or playback of purchases from the cloud is set in settings for iTunes store.
    Sounds as though you have slow internet.  For near instant streaming of video from iTunes store you need around:
    Standard Definition     2.5 Mbps
    720p HD                    6 Mbps
    1080p HD                  8 Mbps
    Any slower for a given quality setting and the movie has to buffer as it can't keep up in real time.  This might be a few minutes if close to the rated speed or many hours, even overnight.
    As pcd251s suggests you could test internet speed (speedtest.net on a computer for example).  If that is fine, sometimes the LAN if on wifi can be extremely slow in certain locations - ethernet connections would troubleshoot that.
    Slow internet is the common issue here.  AppleTV does not have permanent storage and using it to play other content or browse trailers while a rental is buffering can reset the buffering process.   In such cases you might be better off planning in advance, renting in iTunes, letting the whole thing FULLY download and it will then be available across teh LAN to stream from computer to AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals.

    You can try to find your other IDs by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE34.  Otherwise, you'll have to find a friend with an iOS device or Mac that is willing to let you set up an account using their device.

    This is really a problem, and unfortunately you won't be able to do anything, if you cannot contact the previous owner. (See also: https://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515)

  • If I let the guy from the apple store set up my iPad on their store computer will it still synch with my home computer

    If let the guy from the apple store set my iPad on thei computer in the store
    Will the iPad still synch with my home computer

    You will be ok if you do this. When you get home with the iPad - do not sync until you transfer purchases if you download apps and music on the iPad before you get home and sync to your computer.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go the menu at the top - iTunes>Preferences>Devices> and check the box at the bottom of the window that says Prevent iPods, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically. Then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not open on its own. Right click on the iPad name or music that you downloaded into your iTunes library. While you are still in iTunes you can then select the music, photos or whatever other content that you want to put on the iPad in all of the different tabs in the iTunes window at the top. Make sure you check the appropriate headings in the various tabs - such as "Sync Music" - then select the playlists or albums that you want to sync and then you can sync.

  • How do I change the apple id set up on my ipad

    how do I change the apple id set up on my ipad I need to set it up under a new account

    Settings - iTunes & App Stores - Apple ID
    Settings - iCloud - Account
    Don't know if you have to do both of these. You can also do it through iTunes.

  • I get the message  on Apple TV "setting date and time"

    I get the message  on Apple TV "setting date and time", but seems to be stuck in that action. When I check, network settings, everything seems OK.  Any suggestions?

    This will normally happen if you continually turn the AppleTV off at the wall (happens each time you turn it on). If its stuck on that, just turn it completely off, then see if it gets stuck on that again. If it keeps getting stuck (as in for more than 5 minutes) on it, plug it into your computer and attempt to update the AppleTV. You may need to restore it if the software is already up to date or it's still not working after the update.

  • HT204053 I have an apple id set up, got 2 more iphones  1 added to icloud.  If I change its icloud id to anew one will I lose the apps on the new id

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
