Has anyone set up their roku xs player on the imac successfully? If so how to please?

just bought a new imac 27 inch want to set up my roku player to run through it. Has anyone done this and is it easy?
thanks

The iMac can be used as an external display. To hook the iMac 27-Inch up to a HDMI device, such as the Roku XS, you could use a HDMI to Mini-Display Port converter. For instance you could use the Kanex HD, or Atlona AT-DP300. One you hook the roku up to the Imac using one of these converters, you can press command + fn + F2 to toggle between the iMac  and the Roku.
It's just like like switching your TV between your VCR and your cable box. It's important to note, this means you can not say browser the web on your iMac & at the same time watch the roku.

    What does the iPhone/iPad OS have to do with Mavericks?
    Mavericks does remove the scroll bars as they are not needed, but you can set them to show always in the General System Prefs.

  • Has anyone set up their mail through Roadrunner?

    For some reason it's not syncing my email so I have to do it manually. I've added all the incoming and outgoing information and it gives me the error message of "Cannot Connect Using SSL". Does anyone know what this means? I also tried to set up my gmail account which is already preprogrammed in there and it gives me the same message. Can anyone help?

    If you tried GMail and that doesnt work, then there is something else wrong. Are you connecting via WiFi or EDGE? Try EDGE (there is no telling how your WiFI connection is configure), and try resetting the phone, deleting the mail account and recreating it. Start with GMail. That is known to work. If you cant get that one to work, Roadrunner will be a waste of your time - you may need to do a restore at that point.

  • HT1349 Has anyone else lost their library after downloading Itunes 10.6

    Has anyone else lost their itunes library after updating to the new version of itunes on or about 3/29/12?  I have a windows xp system. Does anyone know of a website to get the library files back? Apple doesn't seem to know anything.

  • Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

    Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

    Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
    Thank you and goodbye.

  • Has anyone maxed out their mac?

    i ask this out of curiosity for the bigger and faster machines. i can understand the needs and wants for faster, but has anyone maxed out their mac? and with what? i have lots installed and running on mine im sure not as much as a lot of people, but i still have lots available. so jsut wondering about the need for 200g

    15-20gb is gone off my drive just for parallels, i have about another 15gb dedicated to music, another 10gb for movies and tv shows. My mbp has just a little under 6gb left free, but this is only due to constant clean up of "temporary" (eg - not useful to me anymore) files. I had opted for a 100gb 7200rpm drive, I now almost wish I had went for the 120gb option.

  • Has anyone maxed out their storage since iOS 7 update forces download of all email?

    Has anyone maxed out their storage since iOS 7 update forces download of all email? I'm on my way to that end. I will have to delete my email accounts. Apple told me to do so and just use the providers' apps instead of iPhone accounts. This pretty much renders my smartphone useless. Not to mention I no longer like using my phone since this awful update. Not as intuitive or fun!

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

  • HT1386 My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    Hi,
    Setting up syncing
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true: 
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    Hope this helps

    There could be many causes. What happens when you try to use it. also try adding it again.

  • Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store?

    Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store, after the new statement from Apple? If yes, what was the answer back from Apple?
    I see that the previous apps made from Flash CS 5 is still up on the App Store. Maybe there is a small hope for Flash developers?

    Well, if they accepted a Flash-made app, then I would work more on my iPhone Flash-game before sending it to App Store. I don't think I'm gonna make better graphics etc, if the app only will run on my phone. And I don't think I'm gonna send a 70% done game to the App Store, and if they accept it, then finish it.
    So it would be very helpful to hear a "success story".

  • Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Does it really matter whether anyone else has? If you have, that's a problem for you whether or not anyone else has experienced the same issue. Call Apple tech support or take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and they'll replace the iPad unless it's determined that the problem was caused by some sort of accident rather than a factory defect.
    Regards.

  • Has anyone else's iPhone battery been ruined by the IOS 8.2 update?

    Has anyone else's iPhone battery been ruined by the IOS 8.2 update?

    When fully charged I get about 5hrs in idle mode before the battery dies. When actively using, I'm lucky to get 1hr. I've changed all my settings to use as little battery as possible as suggested by many a website. I've also spent an hour on chat to an Apple 'Genius' who basically went through the settings with me. Also it now takes forever to charge my 5s. All was working fine, quick charge and decent battery life, before I updated to 8.2.
