HT201343 can you mirror say desktop 2 and still use your mac on desktop 1 with the movie playing on the tv?

I'm interested in Apple TV for the mirroring feature through AirPlay, but will only purchase if I can still use my mac as normal whilst i'm watching what is being mirrored on the tv. Is this possible in any way? like possibly having the movie playing on desktop 2 and mirroring that and still use the mac with the other desktops to browse the internet etc?

No, AirParrot isn't a solution for dexta,
AirParrot gives mirroring function to older computer that are unsupported by the Apple's mirrorring function. Dexta is looking to extend is display which isn't a feature of AirParrot.
AppleTV will only gives you direct access to some web content using the builtin features like YouTube, Netflix, etc. If you are looking for unsupported access to other website without using mirroring, then the AppleTV isn't the best hardware to answer your need.

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Try the videos app again.

HT204022 how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV. Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
Many thanks

Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal

How can you stop a purchase and still download

I Tried to download things and it's telling me to sign in to my Apple ID and put my bank details in again coz a purchase was declined now I can't download anything

Hey Noodle_lfc,
Thanks for the question. If you have an unpaid balance or purchase, you'll need to take care of the debt before you can purchase again. The following resource outlines how to take care of an unpaid balance:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
Additional Information:
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

Can I mute incoming calls and still use as a voice recorder

I need to take notes during meetings and would like to use an iphone as a voice recorder as a back up as well as taking written minutes. Can I put the iphone into a silent mode so that the meeting is not disturbed if I get a call or SMS but still be able to use the voice recorder? I would like to be able to press record at the start of the meeting and just leave it running for the duration.
Also, if I fully charge the battery before, will the iphone keep recording for 1.5 hours?
And.. what is the best voice recording app for meetings and lectures/talks?

Hey
It sounds like you're looking for airplane mode, which disables the wireless features of your iPhone while still allowing you to use other applications. You can read more about it here:
iOS: Understanding airplane mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1355
Also, the iPhone comes with an application called Voice Memos that lets you use iPhone as a portable recording device. You can read more about it on Page 105 of the iPhone user guide here:

My husband has a iphone, now i have one to. We want to work with the same calendar, but i want to play in the game center with my own name... how can i do that? and still use the same calendar

My husband has a iphone 4 8Gb, now i have one to. We want to manage our calendar with icloud. We use the apple id that my husband made, but i want to play in the game center with my one name and games. How can i do that?

Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

Can you delete you main itunes library and still have your library on another computer?

Can you see how many people is using your iTunes account?

I want to know if anyone that I don't know is using my account. I wish I can see how many people is using it.

The answer to "How many people are using my iTunes account?" should be --- one!
If you suspect the answer is anything other than one, simply change your password and do not share it.

Can a Windows PC HD be erased using my Mac Pro?

also clean an Imac that barely is usable (it runs but has to use the Windows monitor. Can any one advise on this, Please????
Thanks in advance.

Let's sort this out. You have a PC you plan to chuck out and want to use your Mac Pro desktop computer from Apple to erase the PC's drive so your info doesn't leak out of your control. You also want to do something similar to the drive on an iMac desktop computer. And you want us, on the MacBook Pro portables forum, to help you.
After pointing out that there are Mac Pro specific forums here...
Yes, you can take the drive out of the PC, stick it in an empty bay on the Mac, then use Disk Utility to do a Security Erase and wipe it clean. Just be sure that both computers are OFF before putting or pulling drives from them. If Disk Utility does not offer an Erase option, select the DEVICE corresponding to the PC's drive, go to the Partition tab and select 1 Partition in the Partitions tab. That will cause the drive to be repartitioned and be erasable again. This happens if the drive is in NTFS format, which OS X cannot write to.
As for the iMac, no need to take the drive out to erase. Restart in Recovery Mode (Command R prior to the startup chime) and use the Disk Utility there to erase the Macintosh HD volume, then Install OS X from scratch.
For more specific details, refer to the Mac Pro and iMac forums.

I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.
Not sure why I can't post them in the original post.

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
'''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

Hi,
first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them - the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.
