How can I reset/change the account/library on my Apple TV 2?

I was given a used Apple TV 2nd Generation that is no longer covered by Apple Care Phone Support.
I was able to successfully pair the Apple Remote but I cannot seem to change or reset the account from the previous users name/email address to my own.
Any ideas on how to reset/change the account to that I can connect my iPad2/Macbook Pro???
Thanks!

Perfect it worked thanks so much!!
Any chance that you would know how to mirror what's on your iPad/Macbook through Apple TV so that the image on your iPad is displayed on your TV??
Thanks again!

How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com. They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream. If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll.

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

Hi all
Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions.
First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.

There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

How can I temporarily change the Apple ID on an iPad

I would like to share a book with my wife on her iPad. Can I temporarily change her account to just share the book and not disturb our individual apps?

If you mean that the iPad is tied to another user's iCloud account, you have to ask them to erase the device for you. You can't do it on your own. The device requires their Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPad and to delete the iCloud account.
IF you just want to sign into another Apple ID (not recommended either) go to Settings>iTunes and App store>Apple ID and sign out of that ID and sign into your ID,

How can multiple computers have the same library?

My family has one iTunes account, but our iTunes library is different on every computer. Our iPods are each synced with a different computer. How can we have one library with all of our purchases together? We use the same account, so it doesn't make sense that the music purchased on my laptop won't show up on our home desktop. Each of our iPods are synced to a different computer.

No.
Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

How can I slim down the aperture library?

Hi,
My aperture library grew a lot. Is there any way to slimmed it down, without erasing content? I am talking about recreating previews with less quality or smaller size, deleting old thumbnails (I read that even if you delete a picture from the library, Aperture won't delete the thumbnail).
Does anybody knows any tricks about how to do that?
Thank you very much for your answers!

Easy. Switch to Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on external drives.
More complete explanation:
First make a Vault to an external drive as backup.
Then from within Aperture:
File Menu--> Relocate Masters. Choose external hard drive(s) and direct Aperture to move the Masters to those drives. Give it plenty of time depending on how many Masters are being moved. The Library remains on an internal drive, only the Masters get moved.
Next back up the drive that the Masters were relocated to, because now you have a Referenced Masters Library so Masters are backed up (once) separately from the Library Vault backups.
In the future back up originals (once) on external drives prior to import into Aperture or any other images app. I cannot overstate how important that is, and various manuals, texts, etc. present workflows that skip that critical step. Also back up the Aperture Library using Aperture's Vaults, which are designed for that purpose.
A complete Referenced-Masters workflow follows. Note that for image security reasons Aperture is not involved until the end of the process:
• Create a folder ("abc") for the incoming images. Easiest is to create the folder on the external hard drive where the Masters will permanently live, but Referenced Masters can be temporarily on the laptop's internal drive, then moved later as described above. I initially put Masters referenced on my MBP internal drive, then after backup and editing I use File Menu--> Relocate Masters to move the Masters to a permanent external drive location.
• Connect a card reader with the camera card in it. The camera card should show on the desktop. If it does not show, restart the Mac with the reader and card still plugged in. You can of course use the camera directly in this step, but I do not recommend it. Obviously cameras like the iPad2 do require direct camera-to-computer uploading.
• Drag the contents of the card's image folder(s) to the abc folder that you previously created on the hard drive.
• Review the abc folder contents to be sure they all copied properly.
• Software-eject the camera card.
• Physically disconnect the camera card reader from the Mac. This step is important to help avoid all-too-common human error.
• Again review the abc folder contents to be sure they are indeed all there (because stuff happens sometimes...).
• Back up the abc folder contents on to another drive.
• Review the files on the backup to be sure they all copied properly.
• At any time after but not before the previous step you can reformat the camera card in-camera. Do not delete images on the card using the computer.
• Start Aperture.
• Import the images from folder abc into Aperture, selecting "Store Files: In their current location" on the right-hand side of the import window (important!). Note that the Library remains on an internal drive, only the Masters are on externals.

How can I re-open the Inspector/Library window?

I'm new in these programs and I don't know what I did and suddenly the Inspector/Library window disappeared and I can't re-open it. I tried it from the Window>Inspector/Library and relaunching the application, but this window doesn't appear. Has somebody any idea how I could do it?. Thanks.

How can I permanently change the location tab on the side bar? Every time I change, the next time I log on, it reverts to the "old" location.

On the left hand side of the screen is a location tab. For some unknown reason this is set to a location I have never lived at. It is set for Brighton, UK.
I would like to change it to where I live and I can do this but when I log off, it does not remember the new location and reverts to Brighton UK the next time I log on.
Not a major inconvienience I agree but it would be nice to get information which relates to where I live and not some other UK location.

There are two ways to use iTunes with an external drive, one is to relocate the media folder to a folder on the external, leaving the library files on your internal drive, the other (not advertised in support docs) is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive and connect iTunes to the new location. You chose the first method, which works fine until you forget to turn on the drive before you start iTunes.
If your external media folder is called \iTunes\iTunes Media then process is relatively easy. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder on your internal disk into \iTunes on the external, then hold down shift as you start iTunes and choose the iTunes library on your external drive.
If you external media folder has a different path or name then a few more steps are involved.
Consolidate your library before you start just in case the are any files outside of the designated iTunes Media folder.
Copy the contents of the iTunes folder into the parent folder of the media folder.
Connect iTunes to the library on the external with the shift-start-iTunes method.
Close iTunes and rename the media folder as iTunes Media, then start iTunes, check a track or two, then close it again. (Skip this stage if the folder already has the correct name)
Rename/move the parent folder as \iTunes (or create a new folder at \iTunes and move the iTunes library files, Album Artwork & iTunes Media folders into it) then reconnect iTunes to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method.
If you should now start iTunes without the external drive connected, iTunes will warn you that it cannot find the library and prompt you to choose or create one. Simply cancel, connect the drive, and restart.
