How do you switch the v2 into standby from the Apple Remote?

I can't seem to put the Apple TV V2 into Standby other than via the Sleep Now menu option - which can be a LOT of button presses from where you are. The V1 would go into standby if you held the play/pause button down for a reasonable period of time. Seems crazy this has been dropped from the V2.

Make sure you're at the Main menu, then press and hold the middle select button on the remote for about 3 seconds.

How do you get the apple remote to STOP always launching iTunes????

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have discovered a few annoyances. The biggest one is that the Apple remote is always launching iTunes when I use it. Even when the Finder is not the target app.
I have my entire Star Trek collection on a firewire drive, and I like using VLC to watch them because of the playlist feature. Every time I use the Apple remote to try to skip to the next episode, it launches iTunes and begins playing music. This NEVER happened before in Leopard or Tiger.
I have gone through the iTunes preferences and also looked for some obscure system preference to deal with this issue, but so far, no luck.
Again, the]is NEVER happened under previous operating systems, so I'm going to assume it's a glitch in Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know what's happening here??
Help me obi-wan.

HI,
Open System Preferences/Security and turn Disable remote control infrared receiver.
You may have to click the gold padlock icon to do this. You will be prompted for your
Admin password.
Also, when you come across a "bug", report it to Apple.

And it seems you are not alone...

You can try to re "Pair' the remote also.
To pair an Apple Remote with your computer:
Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches away) and point the remote at the front of the computer.
Press and hold both the Menu and Next buttons on the remote until the paired-remote icon appears on your screen (about 5 seconds).
To unpair an Apple Remote:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security preferences
Click Unpair.

How do you change the apple id on an IPAD if you want to gift it to someone else?

if you just want to change the apple id sign out in settings>icloud, settings>messages>send and recieve, settings>facetime, and settings>itunes and app store.

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone.

Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
Cheers,

If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

You can either,
A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
or
B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

Unfortunately the Apple TV doesn't have a web browser so you can't do that.

Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
I have a built-in infrared receiver.
Thanks!

You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21872/remote-buddy
but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.

How do you change the apple id on an ipad2

when i initally set up our ipad's i used the same email address on the ipads. How do I change the apple id on one ipad?

Go to Settings > Store and tap on the current ID. Sign out of that one and then sign in with the new one. If you downloaded any apps under the first ID, you will have to go back to settings - sign out of the current ID and then sign back in with the old ID or you will not be able to update those apps.

How do you switch the display of a Hierarchy to be collasped?

I need to display a hierarchy in a web app, I need it to default to collapsed rather then expanded.   I am unable to find anything in the query designer properties to control this setting. The one solution I've tried in the Web Template is to add the command SET_DRILL_STATE to the action before rendering property.   But I'm getting an Error which I don't understand.   E180    Illegal Parameter value -666 of Parameter DRILL_STATE of Object command:SET_DRILL_STATE:
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to switch the initial display of a hierarchy?

Hello,
If I change the expand to level property to 1, the hierarchy will display down to just the first level. What I really need is to have the hierarchy not show. I believe the 00 indicates the default setting for the hierarchy.
What I need to display is the Key figures with Characteristic Hierarchy below them in the rows. Ideally the hierarchy is not displayed initial but just the carrot next to each key figure.
Key Figures
>Net Revenue $ 0.03 $ (1.39) (98.02) % $ 0.03
>CS Salaries Allocated $ 0.00 $ (1.44) (100.00) % $ 0.00
     > TOTAL FIRM LEGAL VIE $ 0.00 $ (1.44) (100.00) % $ 0.00
     > TOTAL ATR $ 0.00 0.00 0 0.00
     > TOTAL TAX $ 0.00 0.00 0 0.00
     > TOTAL FAS $ 0.00 0.000 0.00
Thank you for your help with this.

How do you switch the x and y axis in a line graph?

I am fairly new with this program and I need to make a line graph for a science lab report. For the lab, we needed to use a certain amount of water, which was 20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml, then 80 ml, and we needed to measure the mass of different substances if they had the given values of the volume, and compare their mass and volume in a line graph.
Therefore, the graph that I need to create requires a constant 4 steps, which are always 20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml, and 80 ml, for all of the four substances I used during the experiment. That needs to be on the y axis. I need to have the mass of the substances on the x axis, but no matter what I have tried I cannot seem to switch the x and y axis...how can I do that?

Nevermind I figured it out

How do you change the Apple ID displayed on an iPhone to the correct one?

I managed to change the Apple ID on all my devices except my wife's iPhone. When it tries to access the iCloud it still asks for out old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it. Any advice?

Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.

How do you change the Apple ID associated with an iOS device?

So…I made the mistake of putting the wrong Apple ID (I have three – don't ask) on my iOS devices. If I try to change the Apple ID on my Mac, it wants to erase everything that I have on my Mac that is also stored on the iCloud. That is not a good solution. So, I want to change the Apple ID associated with my iOS devices (far less to lose there). The problem is that niether of my iOS devices will let me change the Apple ID associated with them – at least not that I can find.
Does anyone know how to do that so I can get my Mac on the same page with my iPhone/iPad?
Thanks.

This is the kind of question where it helps to know what you are trying to achieve since the way you phrased the question has several interpretations. CarolynSamit gave you one, here's another two:
Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ -> Apple ID FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
"How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."

Another answer is you cannot. Items purchased with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different account.
