How do I get Apple TV to show up among my devices?

WHen I installed Apple TV, I synched it to my MacBook.  Replaced MacBook with new smaller Mac laptop.  However, Apple Tv does not show up on my Devices list on new MacBook.  And ITunes sharing is not listed in my SHaring folder on SYstem Preferences.  How do I fix that so I can stream from new laptop computer to Apple TV wirelessly?  I have Snow Leopard.  I cannot find anything in the manuals or Help directory.

If this is AppleTV1 you need to go to Settings > Computers and highlight top entry then select and remove it - this will erase AppleTV media in preparation for a new sync with a new computer.
Next select the blank top entry and add a new iTunes library - this will generate a numeric code on screen.
In itunes the AppleTV device should now appear, click on it, add the code in itunes to pair with AppleTV.
Then set up to custom or auto sync.
If it's an AppleTV2 you need to enable Home Sharing in iTunes and on AppleTV 2.

    This is only possible with the first generation Apple TV, as you can sync items to it. The second generation Apple TV does not do this.

  • How can I get Apple Mail to show recipient's full name AND email address

    In Apple Mail v 6.3 (1503):
    I am sending an email to a recipient listed in my Contacts. The recipient has 3 or more email addresses listed in Contacts. I want to send the email to some or all of the addresses.
    As I start typing the guys name, the autocomplete feature gives me choices - ie.:  In the TO: field and I select the first one, then the 2nd and so on.
    However, what gets displayed in the TO: Box is this:
    Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
    Bill Clinton
    Bill Clinton
    Bill Clinton
    So, it is not displaying the address between the <       >.
    so how can I get all three addresses to display like the first one which shows both the name of the guy (as listed in contacts "FIRST" "LAST") and then the actual email address).
    For example I'd like it to show:
    Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
    Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
    Bill Clinton <[email protected]
    Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
    Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not at my Mac to check, but try turning off Smart Addresses in the Viewing tab of Mail's Preferences.

  • How do I get my i4 to show in the USB device section instead of storage device when trying 2 sync?

    I am trying to sync with iphone 4. I think I have found the problem. I can get my iPad to sync with my Vista computer just fine. My iPhone won't. It is showing up in under my device section under "storage devices" and not under "USB" like my iPad is. Do you think that could be the problem why my iTunes is not recognizing it the proper way?  If so, what is the fix?
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes a dozen times. taken down the windows and my additional firewall, spyware, and antivirus software. I am in need of additional suggestions. I just don't know how to get my computer recognize my phone as a USB, or give it a different driver letter. Your assistance is appreciated.

    You should have your stuff separate from your mom's. Delete all the apps downloaded or purchased with your mom's Apple ID and download or purchase them with your own Apple ID. Back up files and data first if possible.

  • Vertical line issue - How can we get Apple to address this?

    Hi guys,
    As can be seen in this forum (and a lot of other forums, as well), a lot of people are experiencing this problem on their 17" iMac G5 with iSight. Here are some pertinent details (which may be familiar to a lot of people but can be a primer for those who are just starting to experience the problem):
    1. For most of us, these lines started appearing between 13-15 months after they purchased them. The lucky ones either had these failures occur during the first 12 months, or had APP.
    2. The majority of these units can be traced to the Shanghai factory W8 (enter your S/N in this website to get the manufacturing information of your unit: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html).
    3. A similar issue occurred (or is occurring) with 17" PBs. From what I have read on the Apple PB forums, it seems that this has been a long standing issue and Apple has SUPPOSEDLY attempted to censor some of the posts discussing this. Note that these units can also be traced back to the same Shanghai factory.
    4. The "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" which certain people have always been referring users to on posts discussing this type of problem obviously refers to a totally different issue (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/) and is applicable only to first gen iMac G5s. I'm sure that everyone appreciates it but, at this point, it is quite clear that it is not the solution to our problem.
    5. Based on the number of posts discussing this very same problem in the Apple forums, it is pretty obvious that these are not isolated issues. There are too many similarities (time of failure, how the numbers of line increase over time, manufacturing source, etc.)
    6. Some people have suggested that unstable power sources may be the primary cause of the problem. However, based on the locations of the people with these problems who have posted in this forum, it seems unlikely. From what I can see, the problem happens whether you are from a highly industrialized country (where a stable power source can be expected) or a developing country (where power sources MAY be more unstable).
    7. Apple has typically responded (to anyone who has taken the time to write or have their iMacs inspected) that this is not a known manufacturing defect issue. As such, the cost to repair this problem, which can go up to USD 500, will have to be borne by the owner.
    8. Based on posts of some people who have had their units repaired, it is the LCD that has to be replaced. This is also supported by posts from people who have resorted to purchase a separate display as a workaround.
    Now, the question is, *how do we get Apple to address this issue*? Do we all start writing Steve Jobs about it? Do we go to the press? Should we put up a website and Digg it to death? A spoof video on YouTube? MySpace? Or will we just suffer in silence? Suggestions anyone?
    P.S. Suggestions that involve any sort of violence or industrial sabotage are not acceptable, please.
    Note that Ale_Tog has put up a Flickr page where we can post photos of our poor iMacs. Just send the photo to [email protected] with the subject "Dead pixels on iMac". No text, just the photo attachment. (+Ale_Tog, if you read this, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. Also, I suggest that we at least put the first 5 chars of the serial number, the factory information which can be retrieved on the link in #2 above, and which country the unit is based.+). I highly recommend that everyone send a photo to show that these are not isolated issues.
    To get an idea on how many people are experiencing this problem, here are a list of posts in these forums, as well as others, discussing this issue (feel free to add to this):

    Please start sending your suggestions. The more the many-ier!

    Yep. I feel Apple's 1 year manufacturer warranty for the iMac is not adequate, especially for an all-in-one unit with a relatively high price.
    My iMac G5 started displaying a vertical cyan line about 4 weeks ago, only about 19-20 months after I bought it for Christmas in 2005.
    I called up Apple to enquire what could be done and was told by their customer service that a rather long period had elasped since the warranty expired in 2006. So I was told to take the iMac to an authorised repair centre and Apple will not contribute to the cost of the repair.
    I expect respectable service life from my computer and anything less than 5 years is totally unacceptable. Thus I seriously question the value proposition for the iMac in this respect. Does it mean that I have to replace my iMac every 2 years? The computer still feel reasonably zippy, I still have plenty of space left on my hard drive, but the screen is failing ...
    Today another line (green) appeared on the screen ...
    It is my understanding that a number of LCD monitor manufacturers are now providing 3 year warranties for their products. Now why should Apple only provide a 1 year warranty? Especially when the replacement option will cost more than buying an entire new LCD monitor with even better specifications?
    Based on the number of responeses I have seen here, this is not a rare occurance and I seriously question their quality control in their manufacturing process. I think Apple should be responsible for these repairs, and also provide a 3-year warranty for their LCD screens.
    My iMac's serial number is W8548Zxxxxx.
    Sincerely yours, an unhappy Apple customer.

  • How do I get Apple to unlock a Verizon unlocked 4s to use domestically on a GSM network?

    I have 4 iPhone 4S's in my family.  The contract with Verizon ended on December 5, 2013.  Early in 2014 I requested from Verizon that all 4 iPhones be unlocked, which was done and confirmed by Verizon.  However, subsequently I have learned that the Verizon unlocking only allows use on international GSM networks (which of course shows that the 4S is capable of GSM usage), and I want to be able to use them domestically.  Apparently, Apple maintains a kind of Black list to restrict usage of the phone to the original domestic carrier.  This is in contradiction to the "Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act", or S.517/Public Law 113-144, which went into effect August 1, 2014.
    When I insert a active AT&T GSM SIM card into the 4S I receive the following notice:
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    It's funny that you're totally misreading and understand that law.  All it does is make it legal to 'jailbreak' your device.  It doesn't force the wireless carrier to allow you to unlock the device under the normal means.
    Previously, jailbreaking your device was illegal.  Now, it's not.  But it doesn't mean that the wireless carrier, or anyone else, has to provide assistance to you.
    Show me where in that law that it states that a wireless carrier must assist you.

    If the phones are signed in with the same Apple ID under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, then you should have the option to add that phone number under the same menu on the iPad.

  • How do I get all users to show on screen upon startup for login?

    New MacBook Pro with latest IOS. Yosemite10.10
    I got my first MacBook Pro out of the box from the Apple store yesterday...Logged in as an initial admin user...Then I migrated my MacBook Air to it. All three imported users showed. Success!! Then I restarted the MacBook Pro and the startup screen shows only a single login option: The initial admin user login Icon and name that I used on the MacBook Pro just before migrating the other users in from my MacBook Air.
    So, I deleted the initial user (I did not need it), so that the other users (already with admin rights) would be the only logical logins that should show upon restart.
    Result: The initial "deleted" user shows still, all alone and none of the other users.  So I now log in to this "deleted" user, it is very slow to start before the other logins eventually appear after the this delay. 
    How do I get my users to show at the login screen upon startup and restart?

    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure your time zone is correct and turn on Set Automatically if it isn't on already.
