HELP PLEASE!!! I'm trying to use my Apple TV in a dorm and it is just not working
I used this Apple TV at my house and it worked fine. Today, I brought it to my dorm and I don't know what's wrong. Everytime I try to turn home-sharing on it tells me "The Apple ID you have entered cound't be found or your password was incorrect..." I have typed the correct information in there 10 times and it refuses to work.
I am also unable to access Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, everything. The only 2 icons on the home screen are computer and settings.
I have a slow internet connection so I turned my video resolution down, and that did nothing.
I plugged in an ethernet cable and that did nothing.
I reset the entire system and that did nothing.
I have restarted this thing a dozen times and nothing has happened.
HELP ME!!!
What do you mean by dorm, if you are at college and use a communial service you need to have a word with the network administrator, their system may be blocking it. Or it may need to sign in to the network using a web page which the Apple TV can't do.

I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help! Chris.
It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs. -

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipodI just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

i still cannot burn cd. t i can import and play cds in itunes and i can watch dvds. itunes will just not burn to blank cds, and i have tried sever new blank cds, each is not recognized.
i do not know what else to do, i have searched the internet and whatever i saw doable i tried.
when i check the cd drive in itunes i had gotten a 4220 error, cnet advised to download a free error fixer, however, this error fixer gave me and enduser message, so that didn't work.
the diagnostic for the cd burner read that i had to put in a formatted disc with content so i did and there are the results of that were that it read the cd and that the 4220 errir code was encountered last time there was an attempt to burn.
and 'could not open cd handler 32. there is a problem with the installation of the drive in windows or the drive contains a copyprotected cd.
the above is not the case as it also popped up for me to import cd to itunes.
i tried to copy and past the entire contents here but it would not allow me to paste.
please help!I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

I am not able to get the form to come up to register when on arizona gold swimming website!
...we need this form to work nowI was just able to view, fill and submit a form for the golf event. Can you tell me more about the machine and browser you've been testing on? Are there others that are unable to fill the form? Can you describe in more detail the nature of the failure? Can you include a screen shot of what you are or are not seeing? From my end everything seemed to work just fine. The only thing I didn't attempt to do was test your payment scheme.

I put icloud on my device. When I select manage it does not backup. Any Suggestions?

These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

I have a iPhone 4 S 16 GB. I cannot connect to my home Wi Fi. I tried following some suggestions I saw out here but nothing helps. It just keeps trying and trying to connect.
You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

Am using ipad air, my question is under accessibility mute and unmute button is not working.
pls help me am using ipad air, under accesibility the mute and unmute button are not working.
Do you mean that you have Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Mute', and you have the switch on the right-hand side of your iPad, above the volume control, 'on' ? WIth that 'on' notification sounds should be muted (e.g. email notifications, game sounds etc), but the you should still be able to hear the Videos and Music apps and with headphones. Is that not happening, and if not you've tried toggling the switch on the side of your iPad on/off ?

Please help! I am trying to change my Apple Id that used to be my mother to Mine- Every time i have it changed and i go and try and do an update it continues to ask for her old password. I really need help with this!

Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and will always require it to update.
The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
