Expanded use for Apple TV

Hello all,
I have a question on AppleTV.
I have a bunch of DVDs.  I would like to rip them onto my Macmini, and use this Macmini as a dedicated media-server to house my movies. 
I would like to know if I can purchase THREE AppleTVs and place each in a separate room to stream movies (sometimes simulataneously) off of my Macmini, using my local network (not internet based streaming) I realize we have choices with NetFlix and Itunes.  But I'm not interested in streaming over internet, or pay-per view viewing.
Is this design feasible?  Am I going to run into any difficulties or barriers? 
Thanks in advance
RezF

Thanks guys for the quick replies. 
If I am running a n-router with little interference, there should be no bandwidth problems, correct?
Also, are there any programs that can convert a ripped DVD into a itunes cmpatible format?
Thanks again
RezF

  • "This email address is already in use" for apple ID. I don't have another account. How can I change it?

    I have read through other responses - from back in November... Tried everything.  Must have at one point tried to use new email for apple id - but it won't let me do it now.  Frustrating!,,

    You can track down past appleID's there and also do edits and password resets.

  • HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

    Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

    Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
    However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
    To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well.  If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • What kind of cable is used for apple earbuds?

    Hi
    My earbuds work fine, but the cable has been snatched. Being interested in fixin stuff i want to replace the cable for a new one.
    Looked around in DIY sites and forums, but audiophiles only seems to be interested in THICK HEAVY GAUGE cables that looks awesome. I just want my thin, white, soft old cable back.
    So would someone know which type and which AWG and insulation that apple uses for these things?
    Regards

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • Jive Software, used for Apple's Forum, about Safari 2.0.4

    Despite Jive being used to make the Apple forum and the EA forum, Safari 2.0.4 seems to not like EA's Forum. There are images across the top of EA's forum page that visualize the code for some of the images=links.
    I will copy and paste them here:
    Expand Expand
    Not sure what that will produce... about to see for myself, after this post message button is pressed.
    I was was simply wondering if the code is bad for that page or is Safari at fault. My gut says EA is at fault, but.... the EA forum visualizes just fine on Windows XP with Firefox.
    ~I thought I had posted this message before not long ago... or did I close the tab prematurely... or was it deleted...??? Moments from now, I may be able to make that determination.
    Thanks for the insight into determining if Safari or the other is not performing well.
    ++Well, preview did allow me to see the included code pasted. hmmmm interesting

    well, I had my thoughts all jumbled up like jumbliah, it seems. While the EA forum is irratic and the BF pages have the images I was refering to. In case you want to determine if I'm a clown or perhaps this visual problem is only for me to endure.... here's the site with the images across the top:
    http://www.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/bf/
    The forum, well... it's a different beast which perhaps has trouble keeping up to real time data due to traffic. Yet sometimes, I cannot open/connect to the forum page at all.

  • What printers can I use for apple ipad

    I have a bother dcpl2540dw printer and I am unable to print from my ipad. It has wifi program built into it. Do I need a special printer?
    Where can I find a list of compatable printers?
    Thank you

    I found the
    Brother DCP-L2540DW
    in the list of supported printers.
    Do you have a router?  Can you get on the internet from from your ipad via wifi.
    Suggest you power off all your devices including router for three minutes.  See if that helps. Check for installation of printer. 
    The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi.  So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

  • Which share setting to use for Apple TV 1st generation?...

    I want to export a project in a format that will play on a 1st generation Apple TV.  But under the Share settings, in Apple Devices, both the 720p and 1080p options indicate they will not work with 1st generation Apple TV.  How do I output my FCPX project so that it will play on a 1st generation Apple TV?
    Thanks

    Hi Ben B--
    I just remembered to read the article of yours that you linked to last night in your response above ( http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/preparing-video-web-quicktime-compresso r ).
    It's very informative.  I have Quicktime Pro 7, so I guess between it, Finder, and Compressor I have a lot of options for encoding my video projects.
    After reading your article, I do have a few questions:
    1. Do you think the best initial step is to use File>Share>Master File (default)... in FCPX to create a .mov file (that I could then use in the various ways you describe in your article)?
    2. It seems that using the File>Send to Compressor... option in FCPX is a terrible idea as it takes forever.  Do you agree and recommend against using this option?
    3. Do the different methods you describe in your article result in different quality levels?  I know the settings you choose in each method will, of course, greatly affect the video's quality, but is the encoding in the different methods better or worse?  For instance, I'm tempted to think using Compressor is better than Quicktime Pro 7, and both are better than Finder. 
    4. Also, are there noticeable differences in the speed of the methods you describe?
    The answers to these questions would really help me get on the right track as far as what I should be doing to export my FCPX projects in a way that produces good quality in acceptable amount of time. 

  • Trying to verify my email with iCloud but never get the  email it's the same address that I use for apple so whats the problem, Ray

    Trying to verify icloud on my macbook, but I never get the email. It's the same address and password I use to order from apple, so what am I doing wrong.  Ray

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • Unverified email address used for Apple ID

    Hi,
    How does one remove a Apple ID from a iPhone 5s, which is registered with an incorrect email, and the email has not been verified.

    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?

    Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing  so I really hope someone can help me
    I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
    Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
    But here's the problem :  I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though.  Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
    While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ .  I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
    What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out. 
    Thanks,
    D.

  • Need Rant & Rave Dissussion Board for Apple Computer Corp

    Problems with Apple Computer:
    - Getting too big

    - System feels like "theirs" not "mine" (sound familiar Windoze Pee Cee users?)
    - Bloated memory needs
    - Tech support people know less than you'd expect
    - Tech support people aren't as nice as you'd expect
    - Apple is a niche company; stay that way
    - Innovative but change is not always good (remember OpenDoc? Didn't think so)
    - Planned obsolescence; I used a PowerPC for 12 years - try that with your iMac
    - I'm through buying music from iTunes; Only unprotected CDs from now on
    - The day all CDs become protected is the day I stop buying music; Radio baby! Still free (well...)
