How do i get my apple tv to work in italy?
I am stationed in Sicily in the Navy and I recently purchased the apple tv from the Navy Exchange on base. I brought it home and hooked it up to my tv and it started up fine. I noticed that the language settings were in english but the movie titles were all in italian. When I previewded a couple movies I noticed they were in italian and when I tried to sign i with my itunes store account it told me I was only authorized to make purchases inside the u.s.. Can some one please tell me this is fixable, I am really lost right now. Thanks!
First off, I want to personally thank you for your military service, and wish you good fortune in your Tour of Duty.
Due to licensing restrictions from copyright holders throughout the globe, a lot of video content (especially newer movies and TV Shows) are locked to a specific iTunes Store, Account, & country. That being said, many military bases make use of network trickery to look like they're from the US, for just this very reason. If you're stationed on base, and the military provides a civilian network for use by Family Members, you may be able to bypass the region locks on the AppleTV and once again resume purchasing or viewing content from the American Store. It's very important you do not plug the AppleTV into a military network, however, as this constitutes a major breach of security.
If the Exchange Shop is selling AppleTVs openly in the store itself, you may want to ask for help there. It's possible one or more of your fellow servicemen/women can help you get it hooked up. Alternatively, you may also ask Apple directly for help - mention you're an Active Duty member of the US Military, and would like to enjoy your AppleTV while on a foreign tour of duty. They may be able to fix your iTunes account to point to the US Store, regardless of physical location, though I can't verify Apple can actually do this (they may not be able to).
Finally, the AppleTV will still be capable of streaming content from your local iTunes library or AirPlay compatible devices just fine, and the iTunes software itself may be able to bypass country restrictions and let you access the US Store. It's cumbersome and not nearly as fun as couch surfing content from the AppleTV itself, though it is a last-ditch workaround.

I presently use iCloud and run a laptop PC plus an iPad2 and an iPhone 4. I plan to travel and want to take my netbook, rather than the laptop PC for travelling. How do I get my apple tools to work mwith a new, temporary PC?

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. -

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. -
How can i get my apple id to work without a credit card?
i try to get it to work without a credit card but it wont let me. it is not fair to me.....
If you have an account that previously had a credit card and you're now trying to remove it, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5366
If you are trying to set up an iTunes Store account without a credit card, presuming you only want the free apps take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

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 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 2 apple id's on my i pad?
How do i get 2 apple id's in use on my i pad, i mean 2 id's to purchase apps?
EddyOnly one id can be logged in at a time, so if you want to use the other id you'll need to log out of the current one by tapping on it on the right-hand side of Settings > Store and you can then log in with the second account.

How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password
My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store. I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID. Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com). I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?
I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

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. -

how do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running maverick.
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.
