How to get my apple tv working

I just got an apple tv and i am trying to get it to work for my macbook pro, ipad , iphone, and ipod to show up on my tv....is it the home sharing?? if so it does not let me log on with my apple id.

Hi
Can you detail the devices (year and type) and the software version for your devices. Devices of mid 2011 or later are supported but others are typically not available to Apple TV. Wecan help you better with that info.
Cheers

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.

Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention.

Thank you, and sorry for the language.

I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me: “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that, guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone) authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards. Edits have been made for iChat 4
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
Even then some list that they need tweaks.
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

How to get the webcam to work?

Hi,
As I don't have an instruction book for this computer, can anyone tell me how to get the webcam to work please?
There is supposed to be something that pops up from the side of the screen, but I've left the mouse sit there for ages on all sides and nothing. Please assist me.
Kit_e

I refer you back to my original question.
There used to be a bar at the side that popped up when you left the mouse sit there for a bit. It no longer pops up ... ie: it's disappeared and will not return ... this is what "started" the webcam for use as a webcam.
I have no idea on how to use the webcam from any other place. There is no icon. There is no mention of it in the programs list. There is nothing. There is a webcam sitting there in the laptops lid, but I can't find where to "access it". Like I said there is no icon, nothing in the programs list.
I want to be able to use it. You know, like you use a webcam. On the web, as a camera. No particular website or software that I have in mind.
Thanks.

Getting the Apple Remote working with PowerPC

Is there anyway of getting the Apple Remote to work with a PowerPC PowerMac G5? On my MacBook i have Front Row and it's awesome, but i really want something like that on my desktop. There's an app called MediaCentral:
http://www.equinux.com/us/products/mediacentral/index.html that will work will all Macs so now all i need is a good remote.
I have the AirClick and it's alright, but i find it quite slow and i can't sleep the computer with it. So is it possible to get the Apple Remote working in any way?
Cheers

Front Row first shipped with the G5 iMacs. The version on the install DVD that came with your MacBook should be a Universal Binary, and should install on your iMac.
You will need to use an app called Front Row Enabler, but that's only because Front Row checks to make sure your Mac has a built in IR receiver.

HT204034 How to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?

Does anyone know how to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
When I sign in with my Apple ID it says I did not have an account with the App store, but in order to create one it requires a credit card.
There is NO None option as some articles show when selecting a credit card.

Hello SandraLAVixen,
I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
If you already have an Apple ID
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How to get this script to work with different browser

Thank you so much in advance:)

That isn't possible. Firefox's AppleScript dictionary doesn't contain anything which can be used to manage JavaScripts.

Hi. I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working. When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was. Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

Hi. I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working. When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was. Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

Where are you talking about the Desktop?
I don't see where it is possible to set both Snap to Grid and By Kind they seem to be mutually exclusive.
And then
If I have Snap to grid set I get the behavior you describe. If I have By Kind set the icons stay together and close up the space from the deleted icon.

This normally happens when debris builds between the trackball and the rollers on the inside of the mouse.
Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth to try and free it up.

How to get my Addon to work with the license key?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to get the Addon to work with the license key?
I've follow the steps as stated in this thread:
[Re: SBO 2005 A - How do I get a Connection string from SAP B1.|Re: SBO 2005 A - How do I get a Connection string from SAP B1.]
1) i've registered a BASIS key and get a 'BASISXXXXXX" string
2) then i paste my BASIS key in "Solution" of Add-On Indentifier Generator and generate the Add-On Indentifier Code
3) then i paste the string to my source code
which is the "XXX" of the sample code in that thread.
static string AddonIdentifierString="XXX";
int lRetCode=0;
int errCode=0;
string errMsg= string.Empty;
string connectionStr ="";
link = new SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApiClass();
connectionStr =Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
link.AddonIdentifier=AddonIdentifierString;
link.Connect(connectionStr);
oApp = link.GetApplication(-1);
vCompany = new SAPbobsCOM.CompanyClass();
string cookie = vCompany.GetContextCookie();
string conStr = oApp.Company.GetConnectionContext(cookie);
vCompany.SetSboLoginContext(conStr);
lRetCode = vCompany.Connect();
4) then i add my add-on using manager role at Add-on admin
5) then i can see my add-on there. it not suppose to be there since i've not installed any of my add-on license for my own add-on.
what steps did i miss? Can someone please advise? Thanks
ps : i'm coding in VB

Hi,
i think you have to change the license file attributing the number of licensing for your addon, then download it from https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/smb and then install it on SAP License manager, then I think you should give the license for your addon for individual users (example manager)
I hope it helps.
Best regards

How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc.

How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc. I bought a new iphone 5 on ebay.com - he was used. For a decision on my case ebay asks for this information ...

Apple will never reveal that info to you, since you were not the originally purchaser. However, you can get the date of sale by entering the SN here:

Warranty starts on the date of sale, which is most likely the date of activation, but not necessarily so.

How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"

How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?

While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.
