Have only 1 HDMI. Need 2 for Apple TV & Direct TV- Splitter? Switch?
I have a TV that only has one HDMI. It is currently being used by my Direct TV. I would like to hook up Apple TV but don't have another HDMI on this TV. Is there an adapter such as (splitter,switch) or something..etc. that I can purchase so I can use both? -Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community Ms Brandy.
yes you should look for an HDMI switch. There are both splitters and switches, they do different things, you want a switch.

why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box
I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM. -
I'm having trouble with my macbook pro, I have only had it for three months, when I plugged a camera sd card into the sd slot it isn't appearing anywhere on the computer and i can not access my photographs. can somebody please help me?

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread. -

This server does not have the module needed for interpreting traces
I wan to use the Trace Control function of the Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant. I specifically want to look at the transactions of a particular user. When starting the function I get the message, "This server does not have the module needed for interpreting traces." I find nothing to tell me what the module is or where to get it.
Specifically, I have a Macintosh user (bigwig in my organization) that insists on using Apple's 10.6 Calendar program, and constantly complains that his calendars are different between his 3 Macs and his iPhone. He claims to have put a calendar item on one machine, now it appears nowhere. And I have no way of proving what is going wrong. He hates Outlook and refuses to use it, he hates Entourage and refuses to use it. The local database for Entourage kept getting fouled up to the point that we kept having to delete this account and readding it to force the recreation of the database. The database tool never fixed the problems and of course he did a lot of customization that got destroyed every time we deleted the account settings and added them back.
I really want to run the tool for a while and see if there is actually some transaction actually happening on the server side, so I would like to have these traces and be able to view them.

Just click on ok and proceed with set trace manually.

If I get 256Gb SSD then much less need for Apple Care?
Hi I am thinking of getting the 256Gb SSD instead of the 320Gb 7200rpm drive. If I do that do you still think I need to get Apple Care? I am an educator so Apple Care is $249. If there's much less need for Apple Care with SSD, then in effect taking the $249 and applying to the cost of a SSD, it brings down the price to $675 - $249 = $451!
No, there is no less need for AppleCare with a SSD. If the SSD itself should fail, replacing it yourself after your 1-year warranty expires will cost more than the AppleCare plan. If any other part of the machine should fail, repairing that is almost certain to cost more than the AppleCare plan too. If you don't buy the SSD and your standard hard drive fails after your 1-year warranty expires, replacing it yourself costs far less than the AppleCare plan and is so simple to do that you'd be crazy to have a service provider do it for you.
Whichever kind of drive you buy, choosing whether or not to buy AppleCare is a separate decision and shouldn't be influenced by your choice of drive.
If I were strapped for funds and in your position, I'd spend the money on Applecare sooner and wait for SSD prices to come way down and speeds to go way up in a few months or a year. AppleCare is a good investment at any time, particularly if you can buy it at a deep discount. A solid state drive is not a good investment yet for anyone whose MBP won't spend its days jouncing across the veldt in a Land Rover, being buffeted at sea in a small yacht, or banging from pothole to pothole in an urban police cruiser or bike messenger bag.

The song I downloaded (Slayer, Criminally Isane) cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -
I have only 2 choices for contact groups on the iPhone 5, hotmail and iCloud. If I click both then I have all my hotmail contacts which I don't want. However if I only click iCloud, any new contacts I add don't show up
Only contacts added to the iCloud group will sync with iCloud. To make this your default, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Contacts section and tap Default Account. Here, choose iCloud as your default. After doing so, new contacts will be added to iCloud and sync with your iCloud account.

My iPhone 6 has a clicking sound coming from the top left of the device as if its no aligned properly with the frame.
Ive only had it for about 2 months, the iphone its self is in pristine condition no bumps or scrapes, in fact i treat it
like a new born baby. Will the apple store give me a new replacement or i am wasting my time i have got a clue
never had this or any problem before with iPhone's before. Its not something you want having paid £620 i live
in the UK.If they determine the sound to be a manufacturing defect, then yes, they will replace your iPhone with a refurbished unit of identical specs. The replacement will have the same warranty as your original iPhone, for as long a time as what is left on your iPhone's warranty at the time of exchange.

No longer have indication of need for synchronizing a folder
My workflow in LR is to do all of my editing, etc. and then open Bridge and change all of the file names to reflect more discriptive titles. I then switch back to LR (4.3). In the past this would result in all of my edit pictures involved in this process showing the infamous question mark, BUT also the new discriptive names. I would then sync and all would be well. Now the file name does not change and the question mark does not show. The folder needs to be sync'ed and since I know that I do so and all of the titles then change in the LR view.
One other piece of data - I installed win7 64 bit (was on 32 bit) and of course reinstalled LR and CS5. I suspect there is some preference setting I need to change to have LR reflect the new file name and thereby need a sync and so indicate it, but I don't know what it is. I could use some advice on this one. Thanks.colblip,
It was not my intention to insult you. But your workflow goes totally "against the grain" of Lr.
I know that some people insist on their workflow even if it is not optimal. But - and that is my experience from participating in the forum - they usually come to grief.
It's absolutely fine if you find that Bridge is better for your workflow. But then, why don't you stay in Bridge?
Mixing Bridge and Lr just doesn't work for the simple reason that Bridge saves to file while Lr saves to its catalog.
And most experienced users of Lr agree on that Lr and Bridge don't mix well.
And I used strong words to drive the point home that - indeed - you would do well familiarizing yourself more with Lr, because your current workflow is far from optimal.
Please, don't take offence. But sometimes strong words are needed to drive a point home.
You wrote: "this would result in all of my edit pictures involved in this process showing the infamous question mark, BUT also the new discriptive names."
While it is correct that Lr would show the question mark, it would not display the new file names. Lr displays a question mark when the link between its catalog and the image file is broken. If Lr would display the new file name - created outside of Lr - there would be no need for a question mark.
Lr would have displayed the changed file names only after <sychronizing folder> but not before.
The correct way to handle the situation after changing the file name in Bridge would have been to relink the file. You do this by clicking directly onto the question mark (in Grid View) and by selecting <find missing file>, then navigating to and selecting the new file name. This procedure will preserve the Lr edits. But <Synchronize folder> does not.
<Synchronizing folder> imports "new" images, i.e. the images are read and imported from an file, i.e. from the hard drive. While this procedure is OK for new files that haven't been imported into Lr before, with images already imported into Lr it will discard all catalog data related to this image and replace it with what is on disk. And since Lr stores the edits in its catalog, the edits are lost.
There is only one way to avoid this: The catalog data has to be written to file before you change the file name.
Are you beginning to see that your workflow is not optimal?
You also wrote: "Now the file name does not change and the question mark does not show"
It may be that the cells are compacted. In the Grid View go >View >Grid View Style and check <Expanded cells>.

"fake" 16:9 video gets letterboxed
Hi, I have a JVC Digital Video camcorder (GR-DVP5). I shot a video partly with 16:9 aspect ratio, which for this camcorder basically means, that it uses only part of the sensor to get (to fake) the correct aspect ratio (4:3 with two black stripes). W
