  • How do i connect my apple ID with itunes?

    I keep on trying to sign into itunes with my apple id, but it never works . How do I connect my apple ID with itunes?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    You may find that when you try to do this, the password for your old ID it isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 on your device, 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.

  • How to direct connect to Apple TV with ethernet cable

    I have been trying all week to connect to AppleTV trying all forms of networked connections. I also tried connecting cat6 ethernet direct to the ATV and 2 computers I have. Both computers have Gigabit ethernet ports so I expected that a connection would be plug and play. 1 PC has 2 Yukon Marvell gigabit ports, both lit up when connected but the Apple TV will not show up in devices in itunes off either port. I returned the ATV to factory defaults and connected to the newly re-formatted PC with clean install of XPPro and iTunes 9.0.2. No go on the Intel Pro1000 gigabit adapter port either.
    The ATV connects fine to the internet so I know the ATV ethernet port is OK.
    A few say I need a crossover cable but both PCs are new and haved adapters rated to handle the connection without it.
    Everyone I talk to says it should be just plug and play but that is just not happening. Is there something I need to do at the PC or ATV end to have this connection work?

    No there isn't
    and I am trying to by-pass the local network because I can't get ATV to be recognized in devices at all. So I am trying to connect direct to the PC ethernet port and the ATV ethernet port to do that.
    Have you not tried to pair the AppleTV with iTunes?
    Home sharing on my network is not working because the PC does not see an ATV to stream to. That all started when the latest itunes update screwed that up.
    Have you tried setting up under Settings>Computers
    NOTE CHANGING SYNC COMPUTER DELETES CONTENT ALREADY SYNCED TO APPLETV
    For sync/stream connection you need to set up the top entry in computers
    Select any existing top entry and then add a new computer to replace it - you need to enter a 5 digit code in iTunes when prompted to pair the devices.
    Same would apply for a shared streaming only connection - the computers listed below
    You can have 5 streaming computers but only 1 sync and stream computer
    I have read where you should be able to link to the ATV without a network with a direct link.
    Yes, but unless you've paired using the numerical code it won't work.

    The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

  • How do i connect my apple  tv to my tv but it doesnt have an hdmi input

    How do i connect my apple tv to my tv if my tv doesnt have an hdmi input ??? i have the apple tv  2 and didnt realize when i bought it so what cord do i need to make it work ???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

    It connects over your wifi. If you would like to mirror the display open System Preferences > Display > and ensure that airplay mirroring is set to on. First generation Apple TV's do not work with airplay

  • How do i use my apple id with ichat?

    how do i use my apple id with ichat?

    Hi,
    Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well  (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
    If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name  or create an AIM one.
    NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
    THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
    The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
    To state things another way:-
    A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
    It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
    It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
    @mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
    It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
    If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
    A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
    Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
    It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
    It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
    If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
    I hope this is clear.

    how do I connect to a TV with a HDMI input? Can I use a USB graphics adapter?

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion All-In-One MS235 Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, your computer doesn't appear to have a video output of any kind. A USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 will be required to connect your HDTV to your computer.
