Has Apple killed the original Apple TV?

We have three original Apple TVs, and one Apple TV 2. All used to be fine but in the last 6 months or so the old ones have become increasingly useless... Every time I try to use one of them, the "connected" computer is greyed out and therefore inaccessible. If you disconnect and reconnect it is still greyed out. This means that you can not see Shared content on them.
We are running on the latest versions of Apple TV software and iTunes on all Mac kit.
I've seen various similar threads on here but none of the suggested solutions have worked. I am getting very fed up with this situation because I used to use Apple TVs to stream iTunes purchased content all around the house which I now cannot do.
We are even having issues with the ATV2... I have homesharing turned on in iTunes, I have connected via Homesgaring on the ATV2 and yet I still don't see the relevant content on the ATV2. All it says is turn homesharing on.... really helpful!!!
Please can someone give me a definitive answer on this? If Apple want to kill off all ATV1 kit, then just tell me and I'll disconnect the lot!!

Mine are set to both syncing some content and streaming other. No issues other than occasionally restarting iTunes.
I did have issues years ago with a D-Link router but since updating to an Apple Time Capsule my network has been rock solid. You shouldn't have to use an Apple router but if your router has some age to it, it wouldn't hurt to update to an 802.11n 5Ghz dual band model. The ATVs work better on the 5Ghz band with the computer and a dual band router can also use a 2.4Ghz for older devices.
I suspect wifi interference on the 2.4Ghz band messes up ATVs. Just an intermitting loss of signal can cause the link to iTunes to be cut as well.

How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print. PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document. Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview). Click it. In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features. Click it. Then you should see an option called Printout Mode. Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White. Select it. Then Print.
This can also depend on your printer. Exactly what make/model printer are you using? And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

Launching two thread and killing the original thread

I'm having problems developing my application.
Hi,
I'm running and application wich has to self-update periodically. the way it's done is that i launch a different project, included in a different jar file. This project downloads an update for the application and relaunchs my application.
At first, i did that change of application using a process wich executes the update jar (using getRuntime.exec()), but it looks that once launched the process, my application waits until the update jar is finished.
I've thought to use parallel threads, i mean, my application is running on a thread, if update is necessary, then i create a thread wich executes the update jar and, once the download and update have been completed, create a new thread with my updated application, finishing the update thread after launching it.
Do you know if, once updated my application's jar, the new thread will be executed with my updated code?
I hope somebody can help me, thank you

well, on my computer works, but it has to work in the end on a PDA with a customized jdk from java 1.3, so i'm not sure yet if it works fine. Once i have done it, i will tell you

Has Infinity killed the phone line? PLEASE advise ...

Please advise on this connection problem if you can, it is causing much stress for my elderly parents. They are worried about a £129 charge for calling out an engineer, as far as I can see the engineer's visit would qualify as free but I need a more informed view.
Apologies if this all appears a bit longwinded but I know details can be important so will tell it as fully as I can!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My parents had BT Infinity 2 with HomeHub 5 installed a week or so ago. I couldn't be there for the installation so the night before I disentangled their current HomeHub 2 and associated cables from other equipment and left it, all still connected and plugged in and working, in the middle of the spare bedroom floor (where the new installation was to be done) so the engineer would easily see what was already there and what he had to deal with.
On visiting the evening after the Infinity was installed, I was told that they had been having terrible problems getting their laptop to work wirelessly on the new connection and had earlier been on the phone to BT for an hour trying to sort the issue. When I looked in the bedroom I found the old hub all still plugged in and transmitting, this was apparently confusing the laptop, I completely took out the old hub and then the laptop found the internet no problem.
So it all appeared good, the next morning my parents then went on holiday for a week and when they got back yesterday they found that there is no phone line connection. The broadband is fine, just no dial tone regular phone line at all. Dialling the home number from a mobile gets the normal ringing tone on the mobile, but nothing happens on the home phone.
I tried taking the phone base station (Xenon 1500) out of the downstairs extension socket and plugging it directly into the new Infinity wall socket and still nothing. I took the cover off the wall socket and plugged the phone into the test socket inside and their is still nothing.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now I'm guessing the the phone line was still previously ok after the Infinity installation because it was working through the old hub and when that hub was disconnected the line went dead at that point but no one noticed becuase they went on holiday right after that. I can't try reassembling the connections the old way to see if the phone works because I'm not even sure where all the cables went to!
But shouldn't plugging the phone right into the test socket be a clear test of whether there is a fault with the line? But there is no dial tone at all. Is it possible that by disregarding the installed phone line and hub the engineer has neglected to do something to make the new line work for the phone?
As I said, this is causing quite some worry so any hints would be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well I have somehow fixed it, I took out every cable and extension and started over and the phone line is back. I'm not sure but it may have been because the ADSL filters had been left in the line and I have read that the fibre optic line doesn't use them. I really don't know though, so only mention it in case someone in future searches the forum and sees this thread. Try taking out ADSL filters if the installation engineer hasn't done it!

Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad (2012)

Hello Folks..Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad? I am looking for a case but haven't been happy with the choices so far...Has anyone tried the original iPad case on the new iPad? if so, how is it?
Thanks!!

Here's the thicknesses: iPad 1 - 0.5", iPad 2 - 0.34", iPad 3 - 0.37"
So an iPad 3 would fit loosley in an iPad 1 case. However, the iPad 1 doesn't have a camera, so no camera hole in the case. The iPad 3 camera opening in the case may need to be somewhat larger than the iPad 2 camera hole. Unless it's form fitting, I think most iPad 2 cases may fit the iPad 3, but it may be tight.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.
 Cheers, Tom

TAF: instead of waiting, ORA-00028: your session has been killed

I'm testing the ability of our application to work with a RAC cluster.
When I stop a node with the command:
srvctl stop service -d DB_UNIQUE_NAME -s SERVICE -f, I expect that the driver will try to reconnect transparently without notifying the application.
In some circumstances, the application may receive errors in the range ORA-25400 - ORA-25425, but the reconnect should be automatic anyway.
This is the case, mostly.
But the last time when I stopped the node, 9 of 10 threads of our app began to wait for the driver's reply (as expected). And one thread instantly received the error: ORA-00028: your session has been killed
The subsequent attempts to use this connection failed with: ORA-01012: not logged on

Database error - ORA-00028: your session has been killed

Hi, I'm working with Discoverer 10g and eBS 11.5.9
I have an application user (oracle) which works perfectly when I login with Discoverer Viewer, but when I try to login with Discoverer Desktop (the Oracle application user check box is checked),I have the following behaviour:
1. I (apparently) connect to the DB
2. I choose the responsibility
3. I receive the error:
Enable to connect to: oracle@rac
Database error - ORA-00028: your session has been killed
The strange thing is that this application user works perfectly with Viewer.....
Anyone knows if there is some lock at the database level, and which lock ? or it's something related to the Discoverer Administrator's permissions ?
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

IDCS Workflow: save the original file or the packaged folder?

I am using IDCS on Windows XP Professional Ver. 2002 Service Pack 3.
I am wondering if after I have packaged a file, should I delete the original file or the packaged folder? I work on a network so space is limited, so I need to save my linked graphics in an area accessible to others (who don't have InDesign). So basically I have the location of the graphics saved, the original file linked to the original graphics and the packaged folder that has copies of the original graphic files. I am fairly new to InDesign and I want to keep my files organized.
Thanks.

The very safest step would be to burn the package to disk and file it, then delete the package folder from the server.
That way you don't have lots of duplicated images that may or may not be in sync, and you have a backup copy of the file as it existed, along with links as they were, if you need them.

HT4623 Are the original iPad's not running the latest OS?

My wife has one of the original iPads. She tried to use the Target Store app and it told her she needed to update her OS. We tried to update but is said the iOS5 was up to date. Any suggestions?

Original iPad cannot update beyond iOS 5.1.1. If you don't have it yet, connect to iTunes to update; you need iTunes 10.5 or later.

HT204053 I have one apple ID that my entire family has been using. How do I create new apple ID's for each of us and move the appropriate content to each new ID from the original apple ID now that we all have our own devices?

I have been using one apple ID for 4 family members. Up until now it hasn't been a problem but now that we all have our own devices how do I create new apple ID's for each of us and them move the approprioate things from the original apple ID account to the new ones for each of us?

I rented a movie from ITunes yesterday and now I cannot figure out how to watch it on Apple TV. I have done this before, and to watch it later on, I would go back under the "Movies" option, find the movie, and there would be a Play option available. We did the update to Apple TV yesterday. Now when I go back to the movie, I see the original options. Preview, Rent, Buy, etc. When I click on Rent again, it says the movie has already been rented but not downloaded. It instructs me to go under Settings/Downloads/Check Downloads, but there is nothing under Settings about Downloads. I found an option to Check for Rentals, but when I click on that option, it just keeps searching, with no results. Any ideas? This worked before the update, even though it took forever to download a movie....

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

Loaded iPhoto 9.2, my 7200 photos grew to 113,000 files with screen shots, duplicates, ,5-10copies of faces and apple has no way to eliminate this. How can I ever retrieve the original 7200 from this mess?

This can happen if the HD icon is inadvertently dragged to the iPhoto Window.
Easiest solution: restore from your back up.

Imctrying to activate my ipad. it wants me to sign in with the original apple id used to set it up. i do not know the password to the apple id and also the email used to set it up has been deactivated. can anyone help???

I'm trying to activate my 2nd generation apple iPad. It wants me to sign in with the original apple id used to set it up. I no longer use it and don't know the password to the apple id. Also, the email used to set it up has been deactivated. Can anyone help???

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
If the Apple ID that was used on the iPad was yours originally you should be able to recover your password here:

Bought my iMac through Apple Education Pricing. Does this mean the warranty has been extended from the original one year to three years?

No. If you want an extended warranty you still must purchase it. It is not included with education pricing.

My Daughter changed her Apple ID, not sure why. Then she changed it back to the original. She has lost $50 on her iTunes. How does she restore the funds?

How did she change her AppleID?
If she simply updated the AppleID (not created a new one with a new email address), log out then log back into iTunes store.

Has Apple killed the original Apple TV?
