Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.

How to keep many apple computers updated?

As time passed, we have many, many computers around our institution. At some point, users were able to update their individual software without admin assistants. However, we have changed the policy, and users can't do this anymore. Therefore, is there an easy way to push updates to multiple apple computers?
The apps that need to be updated include:
1. Apple OS
2. Individual Applications
3. Apple Firmware
4. etc.
If you could list what product works best, and if Apple does have a in-house solution.
Thanks

HI,
I use ARD to ''sofware update'' all my macs with a unix command line.
But I try to ''batch'' update all the applications ( like FinalCut, Compressor, ILife etc ) in the AppStore ?
Have you been able to update all the applications in the AppStore ?
thanks

How create lot of apple id for my enterprise on my laptop with itune?

Dear all,
I have read many informations about my problem but no official solution.
My company want to deploy 350 iphone for our employee.
I must create one apple ID per user.
I want to do this with itune on my laptop (easy to create) but i have read this : You cannot create more than 10 account with the same IP ADRESS...
Question : Is it possible to whitelist my IP ADRESS or any other solution to create all of accounts on my laptop ?
MANY MANY THANKS.
BR

I still think that what you're looking to accomplish is an unneccesary burden on you.
What I would do in this case is to use Airwatch and provision each phone how you want and then assign a company apple ID that you will use for iCloud settings. This would enable you to possibly track the device and disabled it using activation lock should one get lost or stolen.
Then give the phone to the users and let them use their own personal apple ID for the iTunes and App Stores. I guarantee that most, if not all the users you'll be giving the phones to already have an Apple ID, so why would they want to use another one created by someone else when all their billing info is attached to their own personal account.

How can we move the 'application data\apple computers' folder to another location

We use roaming profiles and the Application Data folder is stored on a network drive with restricted space (500MB). This has not been a problem in the past but since we've been rolling out iPad's & iPhones, this restriction is becoming a problem as iTunes download's ios updates and stores device backups in 'application data\apple computers' folder (and not in the media library).
Does anyone know how we can move this 'application data\apple computers' folder to another location or force iTunes to store the downloads/updates in the media library (which can be moved)?
Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Move the iTunes Library elsewhere, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it there.

HT204074 I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. How can I sync both computers to a common song library? ITunes Match?

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs. How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers? Will ITunes Match do that?

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

How to learn to self-service Apple computers.

Hi everyone!
I'd like to learn how to service my own and my friends' Apple computers and figure out what's wrong with them. I found a bunch of training titles on OSX (http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/R34M2923941JWY/102-6726532-4 460127?%5Fencoding=UTF8), but not on the internal stuff. These books are huge! Does anyone know if you can get them for free as ebook PDFs from apple? I found one version here (http://www.chmpdf.com/book/apple-training-series-mac-os-x-system-administration- reference-volume-1-apple-training--1916/), but when I try to download it tells me to disable ad-blocking software (even when I turn mine off!).
In other words, if I call Apple and tell them that my computer's acting funny and I've repaired permissions and done all the standard stuff, what do THEY do when they get it? How do they learn what to do when they get it?
Thank you!
Alec

The problem with Mac's is that they don't tend to use separate component parts. Apple likes to integrate everything into the logic board when they can.
So, troubleshooting a Mac is going to require a good foundation in electrical diagnostics.
Since you won't be replacing video cards, sound cards, etc., you'll need to know how to troubleshoot on the circuit level and how to determine specifically which chip, capacitor, resistor, etc. has failed.
With this level of trouble-shooting, a book on Macs is less useful than an education in electronic circuitry.
Your best friends would be an Oscilloscope, logic probe, and multi-tester.
A working knowledge of how circuits work, how to know if a chip is good by reading the hi / low state of a pin, and knowing what type of activity you are supposed to see on each pin, etc. are going to be much more useful in these types of repairs.
Basically, you are looking at replacing specific parts that are defective as opposed to replacing the controller card that is defective.
So, this requires a lot more specialized tools and knowledge.
You'll also need a soldering station, a desoldering pump. And, some of the finer soldering tools to work with surface-mount IC chips.
In short, you're not going to learn all this out of book that deals with Macs. No one actually works on this level anymore in the consumer computer field. So, your best educators are going to be people who work with electronics as a hobby. Those who work with micro-controllers, those who build their own electrical devices and even their own micro-computers. That's an entirely different field.
I've worked with components on that level, and even designed my own devices, etc. But, it's been a while. And, your best teacher is going to be time and tinkering.
You'll need some good detailed book on electronic circuits (which are generally older publications, and a few thousand pages in size), and all the right tools.
Now, when it comes down to just replacing larger components such as hard drives, airport cards, CD-ROM drives, etc., you can do that. But, almost everything else is going to be a circuit on the main logic board.
For disassembly information, you can refer to the documents at:
http://www.apple.com/support/diy/
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/
Apple does have some guides that detail disassembly and replacement of all the systems for their techs. And, you'll find them on the Internet. But, they are considered private property of Apple. So, therefore anyone who gets caught hosting them usually gets shut down. So, I can't provide you with any links here. It would result in having this topic deleted.
But, there are also training programs you can enter to become certified by Apple to trouble-shoot and repair their systems. But, you do need to understand that the kind of repair you'll be trained to do, is just replace the major component that failed.
This would mean that they would train you to just replace the entire logic-board rather than the part of the logic-board that failed.
With this type of service, you are basically looking at replacing the logic-board anytime the failure isn't the hard drive, CD-ROM drive, memory, or an external part. Even the AirPort and BlueTooth are integrated on the logic-board on the newer systems.
Good luck with your training
I hope this helps.

How do I let Apple know there is a print problem since the latest update?

Hi,
I am unable to print since I installed the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5.7 over the weekend. I use a Lexmark X5470 all-in-one printer. I had the same problem when I switched from Tiger to Leopard until Apple produced a patch. I tried it on both of my computers and I have the same problem on both.
How can I let Apple know that the same problem has occurred with the latest Mac OS X 10.5.7 update?
In the printing window I get two messages. The first says the there is a color missing , to delete and re-install the driver. The second, There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or stop the job and try again.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Nerowolfe,
I contacted Lexmark, it was them who told me to let Apple know about this problem. They were not aware of the 10.5.7 update????
That probably explains it. Sometimes a minor bug in 3rd party software becomes a problem after a system update catches it.
From all that I know (which is not much) it is not a problem that is specific to my macbook or g5. I will try to post the issue in bugreport.
They usually let you know if it has been previously reported and eventually, the disposition of the request.
You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer.
Did you use the full combo manual download? That would be another thing to do - you can reapply it over the one you have.
Also run DU and repair permissions before and after any update.

How can I edit authorised computers and not deauthorise all 5?

I am trying to find out how I can deauthorise several computers without doing all 5 that are listed in my account?

You can only do that on the Computers themselves.
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
You will need to Deauthorise all five,
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

How can I de-authorize computers without an old email address?

Long story short, I purchased quite a big amount of music from the itunes store way back in the day on an old hotmail account. I switched to gmail 4 years ago and updated my itunes account with the new email address. I recently switched to a new computer and was transfering over my library when it said that I was at the maximum authorizations. I went into my account and followed the steps as stated here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4644232 and that worked fine, the problem is that when I attempt to play the songs it says that I'm still at the maximum authorizations and asks me to sign in with the old hotmail account. I was under the impression that it should have been updated to the gmail, and since its a 4+ year old hotmail account that hasnt been used, the hotmail account no longer exists, so I cant just try to recover the password to try and de-authorize all. All of my older computers itunes all have the gmail as the account login, so I cant try de-authorizing all from any of them. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to de-authorize all computers given that Its asking for an email-password combo that a) should have been updated to the current gmail b) no longer exists as an email?

As a bit of an update, When clicking to authorize a song, it asks you for the email address (hotmail) and a password. I tried entering an old password and it told me that I'm at my maximum authorizeation limit (so i assumed that it meant that password was valid) but when i try to log into the itunes store to follow the de-authorization procedures it says that this is an invalid appleID or password.

Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

Hi.
I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password. However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try. I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either. We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
Again, my router is a WRT54G.
Thanks !!!

Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

HT1918 how do you know what computers are authorized to use home share before i delete a computer

how do you know what computers are authorzed to use an I tune account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There is no way to view a list of authorised computers. You can only tell a computer is authorised from that computer itself, from the store menu in iTunes.
