How do I get my Apple TV NOT to control my Macbook volume?
We just recently bought an Apple TV. We synced it to our new remote to control volume and everything. Now, when we're on the Apple TV, when we move up and down on the screen, my volume on my Macbook Pro goes up and down with the tv. How do I get that to NOT happen.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted. -
My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly? My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W
try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored. -
How do i get my apple ID to work from my old iphone 5 to my new iphone 6? what are the steps? as last time i tried this everything went wrong my imessage would not work and it would not let me sign in?
Try TransPhone, it's working fine, but a bit expensive...
After installing this, you'll Be able to send/recieve music, contacts, text messages, photos and Videos over bluetooth. Works fine with all mobile phones and computers...
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.
It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list. -

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing. -

Thanks for the link Diesel. Not quite there yet. Software is all up to date to 6.0.2. Your link suggests I should have second or third gen apple tv. Not sure what generation Apple TV I have. Don't believe its a really early model. I have model MC572LL/A. But it has the latest update, so I would think it would connect. Still no apple tv icon on my macbook pro.

I am in Saudi and trying to download navigon middle east. Every time I try to buy the app it will show up, says waiting and disappears. How can I get around it and not get lost on these crazy roads?
I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

How to I get my Apple TV to charge to my loaded gift cards instead of my visa
How to I get my Apple TV to charge to my gift cards already loaded into I-Tunes instead of charging my Visa account?
I found the same issue trying to update pictures for the AppleTV3.
From what I can determine the issue is in iTunes itself not being able to select the new Photos app file format.
You will note that if you look inside your "Pictures" folder there is a new file called "Photo Library.migratedphotolibrary" (which is really a database of existing iPhoto pictures), plus a new file "Photos Library.photoslibrary".
Well, for whatever reason, it appears Apple missed or forgot that iTunes needs to be able to read the new file. Of course you can see your existing iPhoto pictures inside of Photos, but when it comes to being able to select them to share in iTunes, it just is not selectable - so much for the "IT JUST WORKS" factor - yet another defect from my perspective.
Besides this being some form of defect, it really is not intuitive that you have go into iTunes to select photos for the AppleTV. Or, rather it is not obvious as the Apple TV does not show up like the other iOS devices. User Experience (UX) is a hide and seek feature. -
How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?
How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?
Thank you! I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it. After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up. I think Apple delights in making people look stupid. Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself. Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved. The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then. I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.

How do i get my apple email to work after switching to icloud?
how do i get my apple email to work after switching to icloud?
I'm on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with Mac Mail 4.5.
Will deleting a .mac account in Mac Mail lose all saved emails, drafts, etc? I'm afraid of losing all my stuff.
I just switched to iCloud last night and now I can access my mail only through the iCloud web interface. Mac Mail will not work with my .mac email account. But it still works for my other non-Apple addresses. -

hey guys . . how come I get updates, but can not updates them as they are "not applicable" for the "version" of the pad?, hey guys . . how come I get updates, but can not updates them as they are "not applicable" for the "version" of the pad?
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -

ATV2 should browse shared iTunes libraries in the same network.
Problem started when ATV only supports Apple home sharing.
I agree it would be nice if it worked with these NAS based iTunes servers but it doesn't, so if that's a necessity you would be better off looking at a media player from someone else and not purchasing DRM protected incompatible content from iTunes.
AppleTv 1 did not use home sharing and it didn't work with NAS itunes either.
We really need an Apple branded NAS that could home share, either that or they need to license the technology to 3rd parties, but frankly I can't see either happening.
Running a computer 24/7 is not ideal and one area where AppleTV1 was better in that you could store content on it's internal drive.
