HH3, Mario Kart online, Apple TV and Sony Internet...

I'm reasonably techy and have tried many of the 'solutions' given to stop Mario Kart online dropping out (none of them worked) and now, I am scared of upgrading my TV to a Sony Internet TV or getting Apple TV since I think my HH3 would not work with them.The thought of spending money for them to not work as required is awful.
Is there anyone else who also finds Mario Kart online impossible but who HAS got Apple TV or Sony Internet TV working? I'd really like to NOT have to use the 'plugs' if possible.
Also, I've read that switching to a HH2 might be an option or a Netgear router but really, in most aspects, the HH3 is pretty good. We live over 3 levels and signal reaches the top level easily.
I haven't contacted BT since I don't think I can tolerate an offshore customer service guy telling me to reset my router etc.
Thanks for comments.

I will be genuinely surprised if any suggestions except going to a wired connection will ever cure the mystery of the hub dropping Mario on the Wii. I've already been there
But I hope you can sort it out
Probably not, as wireless is rubbish for anything other than web browsing or e-mails.
People expect it to do everything

To amplify on roamingnome's response, the Apple warranty and Apple service are available only in the country of original purchase. And if you have a third-party open the phone in India (or anywhere), Apple will not provide service, even if it is returned to the US.

Ordering a product on the Online Apple store and delivering it in the Apple store instead of home.

Hello,
I'm about to buy a Macbook pro with an upgraded configuration for my birthday.
And here http://store.apple.com/hk/buy-mac/macbook-pro you can see in the section "Configure to Order" that upgraded configuration can be made only at the Apple Online Store. But I'm in HongKong just for tourism, Im not living there. And i dont want to be delivered at the hotel. I would like instead that the macbook will be delivered to an apple store, and then i go there to pick it up.
There is nothing indicating the restriction about that.
So i made my upgrade and check the delivery conditions :
Available to ship:

The Apple Online Store Hong Kong sells and ships items only within Hong Kong. You may not export any products purchased at the online Apple Store. The Apple Store sells and ships products to end user customers only.

It is not indicated that if i can or cant deliver the macbook in an apple store to pick it up when i ll pass there.
Anyone can help me on this point ? thanks you very much.

Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
- Changed the HDMI cable
- Plugged it in directly to the TV
- I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
- Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
- Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
- streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
- tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
- Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
- Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
- Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
- Power cycled EVERYTHING!
I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Make sure its compatible
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Apple iTouch and Sony PSP will not connect to Home...

Please, please can someone help.....
Just received my kit for the Home Hub 2.0, (although as my PC is close by this is connected via ethernet cable), other than this, this is the first time I have gone wireless, main reason is that I am getting a slightly better deal and that I wanted to be able to connect all of my gaming and phone devices via wireless connection.
Connected up, installed the software, first up was the iTouch:
1. Turned on Wi-Fi, straight away my SSID was showing, selected it, it then asked for my Password/Security Key.
2. I entered the correct key, then tried to connect, all I get is 'Unable to join the network'.
Next the PSP:
1. Created a New Connection to get online, scanned automatically and again straight away my Home Hub was found.
2. Went through all the setup screens and entered the key when prompted, when I then tried to connect the following message was displayed, 'The access point was not detected'.
I have tried setting the key from WPA-WPA2 to just WPA, even tried WEP, still the same, I have checked all password and keys that I am typing in correctly.... I have been on this for 3 hours now and am at a loss, this should be so simple why is ist not???.... any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Solved!

Hi yasjooni and welcome
I've never connected either devices (don't own either)
but
regarding the itouch, try changing the wireless channel (I'll guess the hub may be on ch1)
regarding the PSP, have a read of this (also note there is a help video for connecting via wpa) - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11266/kw/psp/c/346,1276,1035

Apple TV and SONY TV

I have a SONY KD28DL10 U TV and I am considering buying Apple TV but I'm not sure if it will be compatible with my TV.
Could someone tell if they are compatible
Here are the specs for the TV
http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Sony-KD28DL10
Thanks

The guys above are right and wrong. Nowhere in the documentation does it say anything contradictory to what they have said. BUT you can trick tv into giving composite as required by your TV.
In fact it has now been shown that the circuitry to deliver composite signal is present in the tv but you just cant get at the interface to turn it on. That link tells you how to fool the tv set up into delivering a composite signal. I have done this under the old software 1,1 and the new.
So you can do it almost for free instead using the hidden composite signal inside the tv. You need a HDMI-DVI-VGA converter combo to get the tv to deliver this signal and it costs maybe $20-30. Follow the links to Mauricio's video and instructions. He says you only need an HDMI-DVI but that didnt work for me.
Beware to ensure you get a VGA to DVI-I adaptor since the HDMI-DVI will probably be a DVI-D.
Worked first time and works fine. This way i'm using the tv signal directly

How do I upload a widget to the online apple dashboard and share my widget with everyone around the world?

I work for a company that has developed a widget that will be really helpful for lots of people to look up information. I would like to add it to the Apple Dashboard so anyone can download it. How do I do this?

as I explicitly wrote in my first post:
of course my iPhone is already synced to the same computer!
I wanted to add a movie on my iPhone today on the same computer and through the same iTunes that I already synced my iPhone with and when I wanted to upload the movie onto the phone it told me that I am now using a different library and that everything on my phone will be deleted. I also tried to do it manually because I don't want to waste time by backing up the phone, erasing everything from it and then putting it back onto the phone, and iTunes told me the same thing: that I am using a different library etc etc.
the other day I wanted to put a new ringtone on my iPhone and iTunes did exactly the same thing!
how can I be using a different library on the SAME COMPUTER and on the SAME iTunes for different things that I want to put on my iphone?
another thing:
if using iTunes indeed were as simple and as easy as you say it is, then there wouldn't be as many complaints about it as there are. also: calling someone ignorant just because they don't want to be bothered by the restrictions, complications and unfriendliness of iTunes is pretty lame!

Apple TV and the Internet

I am wanting to watch live on my tv, hockey games that I currently watch on my computer. Will apple tv enable me to do this?

Not directly. If you have a recent Mac (2011 or later) running Mountain Lion you can use airplay mirroring. For older Macs and PCs you can use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

Apple TV and slow internet speeds?

I live in Ireland and unlike the US, we have quite slow internet with a national max of about 7mb (which is what I have)
How would the streaming work with this kind of network?

Iremonger wrote:
Are those speeds, related to the stated internet speeds, or the download speeds? The usual download speed is around 600kbs for me, hit 1.3mps once but haven't got close since then.
I have a fixed 1Mbps connection in UK, and I strongly suspect that for rentals, the new device will do what the old one did - in other words it will not let you play until enough has downloaded to theoretically allow you to watch the movie completely as the tail end of the film downloads in the background.
I hope that the new device will save the rental stream to the device's internal solid state memory (8GB) to allow you to pause/rewind/restart/rewatch etc during the playback period WITHOUT having to redownload.
If on the other hand it stores nothing, buffers a small amount, and relies on a fairly nippy internet connection to stream live, you, I and many others without high speed connections will be stuffed for rentals.
Anything in your iTunes library however that's compatible will be limited for playback by your home network speeds not the internet.

Online Apple store question...Re: refurbished macbook

Sorry, I wasn't sure where else to post this.
I was looking at buying one of the refurbished macbooks from the online apple store and the other day saved it in my cart. I've noticed now that it's no longer on the website as an available item, but it is still saved on my account.
Does anyone know if I would still be able to purchase this? I would do so within the next day or two ... just waiting to see if I can resurrect my iBook first...
Also, I've read alot of the good accounts of buying refurbished items on these boards, but was wondering if anyone has had a BAD experience buying refurb'd mac products??

Question 1:
I think the refurbished MacBooks tend to come and go in the online store. Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not. I would recommend calling your local Apple Store and asking if they have any refurbished or "refreshed" MacBooks.
Question 2:
I bought my MacBook used from a guy who bought it refurbished somewhere around May I think. It has the CPU whine, the squeaky hinge, the sizzling power brick, and the heatsink was replaced for the random shutdown issue.
That said, since this is a very early MacBook, there were a lot more unresolved issues when it was purchased. If you buy a refurb now, you'll probably be fine. As an example, my friend's refurb, purchased pretty recently, works great, and hasn't had any issues at all. I'm just posting this because you'll find a lot of posts on these boards about issues with early MacBooks (refurbs or not) like this. I think at least most of the MacBook problems have been worked out.
I'm probably going to call AppleCare tomorrow re: the hinge and power brick; in my experience they've been great about replacing parts, etc, and there are temporary fixes for the whine that make it tolerable. :P
I have not had a "BAD" experience at all whatsoever owning this MacBook. Yes, it has some issues, but I love my MacBook (and so does everyone I know), and the great feeling of finally owning a Mac (I've been saving for who knows how long!) makes up for the annoying whine, etc. I hope this post doesn't turn you off on a refurb.
Gorgeous BlackBook CD, 2GB RAM, 80GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.9) G1 Black 2GB Nano, and an old iMac G3 Rev. A going in my sister's room soon!

Online Apple Training ACDT ACPT

*I apologize this is in the wrong sub-forum but I was unsure at where to post this.*
I purchased last year the online apple ACDT and ACPT
http://www.apple.com/support/products/techtrain.html
I think that is the product it was a few hundred dollars and I was unable to finish the training by the end of the year they give you. I am high school student so I am trying to finish it this summer. Is there anyway I can get anther year with out paying the full 300 dollars.
Also what was the URL to log into the training area? I have lost the paper that it was on.
Thanks for your time

You are applying for training as an Apple Tech yet you seem unable to ferret things out for yourself (which is needed to be a good tech).

Mario kart Nintendo Wii online error all the time,...

Hi all,
I have a problem with Nintendo's Wii Mario Kart. I never had this issue with BT Broadband ADSL, only since being on Infinity option 2. When I try to go into an online game with Mario Kart Wii it keeps coming up with an error 91010, Disconnected from data during data transmission. Error Code:-91010. I have looked it up on the internet and it must come down to an Infinity problem. I have tried going back to 802.11 b/g/n (Recommended) but that makes no difference also I have activated the DMZ Enabled with Wii and also activated ports 1-65535 on TDP/UDP but still no luck, the error keeps popping up all the time.
Has anyone come across this problem before and resolved it?. I would like some help because its becoming very annoying and I luv having a blast on Mario kart Wii online its a real shame.
Thanks,

My next question would be if Wii online games are having these issues why dont BT get on the case and sort the matter!.
It may not fully solve it, but it WILL definitely help
It only appears to be Mario Kart on the Wii, that's why it's so unusual - other games will also perform better as they'll be over ethernet too

Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

I changed my apple id and password online, next time i turned on my computer icloud pops up asking for a password with my old apple id. i enter my password and it doesnt work, how do i change my iCloud id to my updated apple id?

I changed my apple id and password online. The next time I turned on my computer, iCloud popped up asking for a password, but displaying my old apple id. I tried signing in, but I think because it is my old apple id listed it doesnt let me. Anyone have any idea how I can update the iCloud apple id and password to reflect that of my apple id?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC

If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.
