How can I set up my Apple TV if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.

how do I hook up my apple tv if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.

How many different devices (DVD player, cable box, etc.) do you have besides the Apple TV to connect to your TV? If you aren't going to use any of these others, you won't need a switcher.
Also, depending on the device & what other kinds of inputs your TV might have, you may be able to hook them up to other inputs besides your only HDMI one. The quality might be lower for them, & you might have to use several cables for sound & video, but that might end up being acceptable if you use your ATV much more often than the others.

I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

How can I set my time capsule to back-up only once a day?

How can I set my time capsule to only back-up once a day. It appears to be backing up several times a day. Not sure there is a set schedule for the back-ups and they take a great deal of time; over an hour each.

Then something is wrong. Changing the schedule will only deal with the symptom (and give up one of the better features of Time Machine's usually quick and unobtrusive hourly backups).
See if the size of the backups makes sense, considering what you've changed since the previous one. If it seems much too large, that may be the problem. See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for some common culprits and ways to see just what's going on.
If the sizes seem reasonable, see #D2 in the same link for things that can cause extra-slow backups.

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

How can i sign out of apple id and create a new one without it affecting my other devices

How can i sign out of apple id and create new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id

Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

HT2589 How can I set up an apple I'd with no credit card on an ipad mini?

I have set up an apple I'd but I can't put any free apps on my ipad mini as it won't let me choose the none option when I get to card details as I don't have a credit card and can't use a bank card. How can I do it without a card plz can someone help me feel like I'm going round in circles.

There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (it won't work with existing accounts) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when buying it - if you are doing it on your iPad then you will need to log out of your account first by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores, otherwise that account will be used

How can I set up my apple mail to get mail from my exchange account?

My work recently changed the security on the Outlook Exchange server. I used to be able to get my Exchange email on my iPhone and in Apple Mail, but now it only works on my iPhone. I don't understand how to get my Apple Mail to receive the emails? I contacted tech support at work and they said that they don't support Apple Mail they only support iPhone. I have the settings for my iPhone that work but I don't understand why they don't work in Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton!

How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
Thank you

Hey Sonn.80,
Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
Specifcally -
Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

The default disk that itunes saves videos onto is full. How can I set the default to the other disk I have installed?

When adding a video onto iTunes I get the error message that my disk is full. I am aware of this. I have another disk(Actually same disk but it's split into two parts under computer). It has plenty of space(629 GB free). How do I set the disk that itunes downloads onto as the second disk?

Hi o0OZACO0o,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have iTunes set to organize your files, you'd need to make the other drive the default location of your iTunes library. See these articles for more information:
