Does Apple Tv 2nd gen have Hard drive??

I just bought an Apple Tv yesterday , I didn't see anything mentioned if it has a hard drive....

No, only 1st gen silver model did.
Largely explains much smaller size, lower power consumption and cheaper cost.
Downside of course is inability to store anything on it so you need internet access, itunes running or an Airplay capable iphone/iPad etc to play anything back.

  • Does Apple TV 2nd Gen Get iOS 6?

    Does Apple TV 2nd Gen Get iOS 6?

    Apple TV (2nd gen and 3rd gen) run do run a variant of iOS.
    I'm not in the developer program so I don't know when an update will be available but clearly it is not available at the moment.  Two possible reasons, Apple is holding off so their servers are less loaded as the more "mainstream" iOS devices update, or they simply haven't finished developing the Apple TV iOS 6 release yet.
    I saw a youtube video from someone in the developer program demonstrating that one of the new feautres is that you can rearrange the icons on rows 2 and down.  So if that is something that is exciting for you, then you have that to look forward to.  I don't know what other features will be part of the next release.

  • Does Apple Genius change my iMac hard drive to SSD?? If i already bought a ssd ??? and just take ssd and  my imac to genius and maintain my apple care??

    Does Apple Genius change my iMac hard drive to SSD?? If i already bought a ssd ??? and just take ssd and  my imac to genius and maintain my apple care??

    wouldn't it make a difference if the SSD was an Apple product?  And can't you order just the Apple SSD?  At the local Apple store many of the geniuses won't touch it if it's a third party item.

  • How does Apple TV 2nd Gen Store Password Information?  Secure erase?

    I have a 2nd generation Apple TV that I'm selling.  I had my Apple ID, password and WiFi password on it.  I did a "reset" (rather than a restore - the device is worth more with v4 on it than v5).
    If it were a computer, I would zero the data on the hard drive before selling.  I realize that the 2nd gen has no hard drive, but is there anywhere that the device stores this information that could be accessed by someone through hacking it?  Or does the reset take care of that?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!  Aside from installing the latest software (which, as I mentioned, is undesirable from a selling standpoint), how does a Restore differ from a Reset?

  • Apple TV 1st Gen & Network hard drive

    Hi,
    I'm looking at getting a network hard drive to store all of my iTunes content on, rather than having all of it on my laptop. Will Apple TV be able to stream from this as it will be turned on all of the time? If it can then I'd consider getting the 2nd gen Apple TV as well. I'm not keen on having my laptop on to watch my content through Apple TV as a VGA cable from the laptop does exactly the same!
    Thanks,
    Tom

    not directly no. you will still need itunes running if you want to stream content to the appletv. the appletv cannot connect direct to any network storage device.
    If it can then I'd consider getting the 2nd gen Apple TV as well. I'm not keen on having my laptop on to watch my content through Apple TV as a VGA cable from the laptop does exactly the same!
    you would need itunes open and running.

  • How much does Apple charge to replace a hard drive?

    I have a Macbook I bought in the Summer of 2008 (not sure the model, etc.) I know it was the smallest memory (a.k.a. cheapest model) if that helps at all.  I got a screen with a flashing folder/question mark this morning and everything I've read points to a hard drive failure.  I did all the troubleshooting that Apple has on the website and nothing worked.  I'm going to take it to the Apple store within the next week, but I was wondering how much Apple would charge to replace the drive.  For the record... I'm NOT tech savvy at all, and I am not going to replace it myself... I know it's cheaper, etc. but it's not worth it to me.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

    The brand of hard drive isn't that important to me. They're pretty much all the same. As to size, whatever you think you might need. Look at the ones at Newegg.com. A large hard drive doesn't cost that much more than a small one.
    Since your old hard drive died you'll need to start fresh after you've installed the new drive.
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Start up from the installer disk (hold down the C key or hold down the Option key after you hear the chime) When you get to the Install screen select Disk Utility under Utilities on the top menu.
    2. After Disk Utility loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.Click on the Erase tab and set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) and click Erase
    3. After it has erased click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window.
    4. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    5. Quit Disk Utility and install the Mac OS

    It appears that this is due to firmware corruption and you can fix it by using the micro USB cable and hooking it to iTunes.  I have not tried it yet but supposedly several people were able to resolve their problem this way.  If you do try it, let me know.  I don't have the cable at this time.

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • Apple TV (2nd gen) not showing up as a device in iTunes

    Hi all,
    I have this problem. The Apple TV (2nd gen) does not show up in iTunes under devices, and I really don't know why.
    Mac OSX 10.6.5
    iTunes 10.1
    AppleTV 2nd gen with latest update installed
    Network is a WiFi Airport Extreme (Mac and AppleTV are indeed on the same private network)
    Airplay works, home sharing works fine. Remote App on iPad and iPhone works.
    But the AppleTV is not showing up under devices.
    I had a 1st gen AppleTV which I reverted to "factory settings" before unplugging. The 2nd gen ATV had the same name as the 1st gen at the beginning, but I changed it afterwards figuring it might be related.
    Under iTunes > preferences I had the AppleTV tab. But I did read somewhere on Apple's site you have to "delete" the AppleTV from the list. So I did, and now the tab cannot be found anymore...
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

    I seem to recall though that I have seen a screenshot somewhere on the web where iTunes showed the ATV 2nd gen as a device.
    Not seen that, but the old ones have a logo that look (to me) like the new one, or at least a small darker grey than they are - they show up nicely in the iPad/iPhone Remote app though
    If you are right it would be huge disappointment!
    I believe I am correct as I've got new/old AppleTVs connected to 3 Macs and a dual boot Mac Pro currently, and the new unit has never appearede under devices.
    .... I really HATE the interface organization right now. Why on planet earth do I have to go under "devices" -> "computer" -> "music" just to play some music?
    You, me and many other AppleTV 1 users. I think they'd finally got it right in 3.02 for AppleTV 1 which is a much nicer user interface. Basically now the majority of the top level columns are unused by many people who don't rent but want to playback theit iTunes media.
    I firmly believe Apple see this new AppleTV as a relatively cheap accessory for iPads/iPhones/iPods to show video/photos via Airplay on your TV without using a computer.
    Secondly it's a vehicle for pushing itunes Store rentals, but for the majority of worldwide users they can only get Movie rentals, and Netflix is of no use bar in a few countries (US/Canada).
    I would have much more preferred that a "music" tab (it also applies to all other tabs, movies, tv series and so on) and then just a list of all "home sharing" connected computers from which I could pick the one where the music is stored. Or even, and being Apple it surprises me they didn't implement it, just the list of the available music on my network, with a little tab indicating in which computer it is located.
    Yes that would make absolute sense - a dynamic list of available content based on connected libraries that changes as new libraries appeared on/left the local network.
    The new menu organisation is quite shoddy to me, ut many users new to AppleTV like it and rave about the devices not knowing what the old one could do - it's a good device don't get me wrong, but I still prefer the older units except for their power consumption and the fact I feel they are more likely to fail due to their high temps and mechanical hard drives.
    But here I'm venturing FAR off topic.
    Don't think so, it's a valid comment.
    Use this:

    Thank you for your help anyway. I wait for confirmation of somebody else just to make sure...
    Fair enough.

  • Apple TV 2nd gen and my itunes library.

    ive looked up several reviews and read many things on apple tv. I have never owned one but from what i understand the first gen had hard drives and you could buy movies. With this gen you can only rent but can i still watch all the movies and tv shows i have in my itunes library on my computer?

    if i were to stream a tv show from my itunes to my tv would it take up the entire tv screen or would it have black edges like it does on itunes?
    it would look the way it is supposed to look.
    if it is 4:3 content then it will display as 4:3. if it is widescreen then it will display as widescreen.
    would the video look any sharper on my tv or would it be the same resolution?
    the appletv won't make it any better than what it already is
    and is there pauses like when a video is buffering slower than you are watching it.
    that depends entirely on your local network.

  • MacBook Pro Early 2011 - Airplay Mirroring only sends audio to Apple TV 2nd Gen

    Ok, I'm stumped by this one. I have a 15" MBP Early 2011 edition and an Apple TV 2nd Gen. Airplay Mirroring from my MBP to Apple TV only transmits the audio -- the MBP will resize the screen like it's connected to a 16:9 device, and Apple TV will show a black screen like it's about to pick up the video signal, but no video transmits. A couple of times, video started transmitting, but it was about 30 seconds delayed (?!) and extremely choppy. Both devices are connected wirelessly to a Linksys router with 5 GHz (wireless N) capabilities. The router has been configured to Apple's recommendations for Airplay Mirroring.
    A little more about my MacBook Pro:
    Early 2011 Model ID: MacBookPro8,2
    OS: 10.8.2 Mountain Lion
    CPU: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6490M, VRAM 256 MB Total
    This problem is driving me crazy! Airplay works flawlessly between my iPhone 5 and Apple TV, but not with a much more powerful laptop. Also, I tried Mirroring from a friend's 13" MacBook Pro, and it did the same thing.
    Any suggestions, tips, ideas, etc. to get this working is appreciated!

    He has an Early-2011 MacBook Pro, which does meet the requirements. The issue is that it is running OS X 10.7.5 and needs to be upgraded to Mountain Lion to use mirroring.

    Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.

  • Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

    Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

    Exactly. That's my question? There's a 40gb hard drive about to be tossed if I were to purchase the new Apple TV. I assume there are features the new one will have that old does not...?
    Either way still a good question because there is a 40gb hard drive that has just been sitting there unused. It would nice if it could be used as a data storage device.
    Currently I just stream content thru the Apple TV or rent movies directly from the ATV (not at the computer and then wait for them to transfer to the hard drive)
