How to I get the apple TV to connect to my NAS drive (network drive)

HI, I have a NAS dive on my network which I use to store all my files/music on. Currently, I have ALL my itunes content on the nas drive which is fine for my pc/laptop to access via itunes but, I would like to configure my Apple TV to do the same. Can someone tell me how this is done please.

you may have not configured itunes correctly.
the appletv is irrelevant in this instance, as it only plays what itunes can serve it.
make sure that the content is linked to the NAS correctly in itunes, and make sure you can play it in itunes.
once that has been confirmed, then reboot the appletv and try that again.

You may need to set the slider at the upper-right corner of the Control window to something other than the extreme left-most position:
Hope this helps.

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.

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

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 the apple care registration number?

If you purchased your iPad from Apple directly and bought AppleCare at the same time, the plan will have automatically been applied and you won't have a separate number you need to register.

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.

I changed my Apple ID but now the old ID comes up when I try to buy an IBook. How do I get the Apple ID to match my IBook ID?

My old email was hacked so I changed it and closed the old email. I recently attempted to purchase a book in iBook where I found my iBook account blocked. I changed my Apple ID and password and verified the new email I submitted. I then tried to purchase the book using the new ID and password. The old ID continues to come up when I am asked for my password. (I don't remember the old password). How do I get the ID to reflect my new one? I can't download the book without fixing this problem. Thanks

open iBooks, then go to the Store, down at the bottom there should be an Account button. click on that button, you should then be able to log out of the old account and then login on the new account.

How do you get the Apple Wireless Keyboard to accept function keys?

I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPad2 and I use the VPN to connect to my work-related software which requires that I use some of the function keys as actual F1, F2, F3,...etc. When I hit F2, the iPad2 responds with the Screen Brighter action. How do I get the keyboard input to just be F2? Thanks!

Thanks. But I tried that and nothing happens. I've looked though all the System Preferences sections and can't find anything on this.

I have an iPad mini iphone 5 and have just bought an Apple TV can I get the Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa have been trying with no success my phone and iPad connect fine please help.

Can't get my Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa but it connects fine with iPhone iPad mini etc

Bluetooth in the AppleTV is for connecting to Bluetooth keyboards, and also for Airplay device discovery only.
Unless your sofa supports Airplay (unlikely) or has a bluetooth keyboard, your AppleTV won't be able to connect to it.

How do I get the Apple tv to play out of my Bose speakers that has the typical white and red plug ins? Do I need an "optical audio" cord (that is what is available as a plug in on the back of the Apple tv that has the red and the white on the other side?

How do I get my speakers to play the Apple TV? My TV is recognizing the Apple TV and the sound is playing out of the TV speakers, but even though I plug my speakers into my TV, it does not play what the TV speakers are playing. Do I have to plg the speakers into the actual Apple TV unit? If so, do I need an "optical audio" plug in?

appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

How do you get the Apple website to recognize a new pc tower?

My account was started in December 2012 and I bought a new Dell tower in February. I wanted to buy music yesterday and found that I could buy it but not download to my ipod because Apple did not recognize my pc. I removed the information on the old pc and now cannot get this pc recognized. There is no button on the Account information page to do this. How do I get it done?
