Do I need to run iTunes on my PC/Mac to access from mu Apple TV?

Do I need to run iTunes on my PC/MAC to access from AppleTV?
I have turned on Home Sharing on both systems.

Is it true that I need to install iTunes to access the iTunes store to buy content?
Yes.
Why not have a web page (HTML5 based naturally) that does the same thing?
You can make enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

Help, I need to run three displays on my Mac Pro 4,1.
I have a Radeon 5870 installed with OS X 10.8.3
need to run a Dell 30 inch dislay, a 19 inch Eizo and a 12 inch Cintiqu Display Tablet please.
Ant tipes or hints? Failing that, I would like to know of a comptaible video/graphic card which will only take up an additional slot, as I have the others filled with eSata and USB 3 cards.

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, can I

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, how can I & should I?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

Running iTunes 11.0.2 on Windows 7. Intermittently apple tv cannot see iTunes library anymore. Sometimes I have to go so far as to restore to an earlier restore point to get it to work. How can I trace the network communication to see what is happening?

Do I need to run DNS on a colo server being accessed remotely via VPN?

My Mac Mini Server is located in a colo site. We generally use it for Web, email and a couple of application-specific services. It has a dedicated IP address. We have a separate DNS service we use to point to the domains on the server located remotely from the server. Forward and reverse lookups work fine from the server, even though the local DNS service is turned off.
However, we now have a couple of things we want to access remotely on the server via VPN (for example, some files via AFP). The firewall blocks remote AFP requests (using the built-in firewall, not a separate box). We can connect via VPN without problems. However, AFP does not work. If I allow AFP in the firewall and try to connect, no problems at all.
Since the Mini is located by itself and will never likely have anything connected to a "local network" (never running DHCP, etc.), there generally doesn't seem to be a need to run DNS on the server.
I suspect the problem is that when you VPN into the server you are on its "local network", whatever that means, so the DNS does not resolve since the local DNS service is not running. However, I am not positive of this.
Must we run local DNS? Does it have to mirror the remote DNS that we currently reference? Can we somehow "reference" the local DNS from VPN clients trying to access local services?
I hope this question makes some sense.

Bear with me please....
The Mac Mini is in a data center on a shelf, getting a direct connection to the Internet via ethernet with a fixed IP address (under the covers, I suspect that the data center is using some sort of router or switch, but I am not paying for a hardware firewall or other gateway). There is no local network for the Mini. It is not running DHCP, not handing out NAT addresses, etc. DNS is currently off. Rather than using the local DNS, the Mini is resolving its DNS needs with a DNS server located at another site, over the Internet. This seems to work fine (i.e., changeip confirms it is working and services seem to work).
I am currently using the software firewall built into SLS.
I want to turn on VPN so that remotely located computers can access services on the Mini without having to make the services visible through the firewall.
I am able to connect devices via VPN with little difficulty (iPhones, Macs, etc.). However, when I try to access services (let's use AFP as an example), I cannot access them UNLESS they are allowed through the firewall. This tells me that I am not seeing the services through the VPN, but rather through the Internet directly.
What I meant by "local network" is that the VPN allocates local IP addresses when devices log into the VPN service (10.0.x.x). There is no DHCP allocating these addresses, just VPN.
My question is: why can I not see the services on the Mini blocked by the firewall when successfully logged into VPN on the server? Isn't the whole point of the VPN to gain access to services behind the firewall?
I am guessing (with no particular information to support my thesis) that somehow without DNS running on the Mini, VPN clients are unable to access services on the Mini. I do not know for sure, however, if this is the problem. If it IS a problem, then the question is whether I should completely copy the DNS entries from the remote DNS server to the Mini and start the service. Will that solve the issue? Create conflicts with the DNS (since it is now located on both a remote service and on the Mini)? It certainly will create a maintenance headache since now I will have to maintain the DNS in both places.
I am hesitant to migrate all of my DNS services to the Mini (because I will also have to go to the domain registrars to change where they point, etc.) to eliminate the remote one. And I am not sure it will solve this problem anyway.
Sorry for all of the typing!

I need to run 6 displays on my mac! Is it possible!??

Hello.
I am working on a video installation, and I need to run at least 5 monitors/projectors from my mac pro. Here are my specs:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Graphics Card: ATI radeonx1900 512Mb
my question is: What additional graphics cards can I install on my mac to up the number of displays I can run? Do I need mac specific cards? Im a noob at the tech side of this stuff. Thank you for your help!

There are some break-out boxes if multiple monitors are just displaying the same content so that you wouldn't need to have 3 graphics cards.
The options are slim pickings, worse than before. The ATI Radeon 2600XT is not listed on Apple Store but would have worked. The 3870 costs $219. The Nvidia 8800GT is also no longer listed.
Make sure your X1900 isn't clogged with dust and is still able to breath and blow out air and isn't heat stressed. Still being sold, and still $399 - no change after three years is sort of sad.
I will say that 2GB RAM is rather minimum configuration. I doubt it is enough.
Yes, you need Mac specific or Mac firmware for it to work in OS X.
The original OEM 7300GT, it too is no longer listed or being sold by Apple which was the cheapest upgrade option that could work.
So I'd look for a splitter box; more RAM; possibly replace the X1900 even with another ATI card.

ITunes 8.2 for Mac: cannot access iTune

Hi
I need help. I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.7 with iTunes 8.2.
I connect to the internet using a wireless connection and i can connect to the internet using internet browser etc but when i try and connect to the iTunes store i cannot.
I have tried to fix this problem by:
a.) allowing all connections through the firewall
b.) allowing application access through keychain
nothing works.
Can someone help me?

You are not alone.
I have had the same problem since June 8t/09, after I downloaded iTunes 8.2 onto my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.7.
I immediately posted my situation and titled it "*_iTunes 8(x) + OS 10.5.7 NOT Compatible??_*"...

What program is needed to run itunes?

In attempting to gain some memory on my macbook pro I deleted some of the programs I did not believe I needed. In doing this I lost the program necessary to run my itunes. Can someone help me figure this out?

Download and install iTunes again:

When I attempt to install iTunes I get an error message about Apple Support Service needed to run iTunes.

What is Apple Support Services and where can I get it so I might download iTunes?

What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's an Apple Mobile Device Service, and Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support ... so it's not clear what you might be having trouble with at the moment.)

HT4623 My acct says I need to update iTunes to new version. How? From my phone? I already have the 6.0 update for phone. But it says I need iTunes update

When I log into my PC to update my acct it says I cannot due to I need to update my iTunes version on my iPhone. How!

It's talking about iTunes. The program that runs on your computer. Not iOS, the operating system on your phone.
On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes
Download and install version 10.7. It is required to sync with iOS 6.

I need help updating itunes on ipad. will not operate from pc

I have been attempting to update my ipad to the latest and greatest itunes for the past three days. I have spoken with two Apple representatives. Is there an easier way. The PC is not cooperating even with the firewalls disabled. Is there another way? Possible just by adding a link in the address bar of the ipad? The Ipad is currently running under ios 4.2.1

The PC is not cooperating even with the firewalls disabled
The only way to update your iPad is with the device connected to your computer using iTunes.
Try uninstalling your current copy of iTunes then reinstall > http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Try restarting the AMDS > iPad: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

Min needed to run my music lib on Mac Laptop?

I have lost my iTunes music library (including approx 70 CDs of songs, all 65 subscribed podcasts -- worse, which episodes I have listened to and which I haven't -- as well as all my purchased music and about 35 Audiobooks) twice since I loaded iTunes 5 on my Windows XP laptop. When I looked at the Apple site, I noticed very few (if any) troubleshooting recommendations for Apple computers.
So, as a possible remedy, what is the smallest/cheapest laptop I can get that will manage/hold my music collection, Audible books, keep up with my podcasts and sync everything with my iPods?
I am not familiar with the nomenclature of Macs (iBook, Powerbook, G3, G4, etc.) so any information would be appreciated.
I would like to get out of this cheaply (read - buying less than 'state of the art'), but I don't want to 'shoot myself in the foot' when it comes to functionality (i.e. I don't have 30 minutes for the iPod to sync every day because the CPU is a dog).

Hey Mark,
Well, if money is the biggest thing, then i guess u go for 12" iBook 1.33Ghz....That will cost u $999...though u can also go for a 14" iBook 1.42Ghz....This will cost u $1299...
The major differences will be that u will get a combo drive and a 40Gb hard disk space with the former one, and a super drive along with a 60Gb hard disk space..
See http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70502/wo/Q14bxxP 96X2n3O5sFNC3bfO7kUE/0.0.15.1.0.6.23.1.1.1.0.0.0.1.0..
And i bet u wouldnt like to invest in a powerbook, which starts from $1499..
PS: YOU CAN GET DISCOUNTS TOO...STUDENT DISCOUNT IS THERE, BUT THE LOCAL VENDORS ALSO SOMETIMES GIVE YOU THE WANTED DISCOUNTS..

HT5312 I need help resetting my security questions so I can shop from the apple store.

I can't answer the security questions because I never set them up. I need to download n buy a game for my daughter.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
