HT2208 Apple TV 6.0 Upgrade
I just upgraded my Apple TV to 6.0 because sound suddenly did not work when using Apple TV to watch from my computer. It worked one moment, then the next it didn't.
After the upgrade, I had a picture of the device with a cable showing to "plug in" to iTunes.
But I'm already Home Sharing and I have an HDMI cable to the TV. Was is going on?
And now Apple TV won't even turn on.
I've only had it for a month.
Now what?
Help!!

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.
Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps! -
Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.
To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge. -
Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0. They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?
Ok, so I'll try again. Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update? It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV. These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5. -

Purhcased lion 10.7.1 on usb key from apple - how do I upgrade to 10.7.2? The upgrade is not showing up in the AppStore nor the software update menu in the finder. Don't want to purchase once again.
Thank you,Additionally, OS updates are not updated via the app store; they are updated via Software Update - so, have you checked that? That said, personally I prefer and use keg55's suggestion: download the combo and install it manually.

Well......an apology to Apple re: 7.6 upgrade
Sorry guys....I have to apologize to Apple.
I just upgraded to 7.6 and it's all OK (knock on wood).
Yeah, I tried a few days ago and I got the dead icon problem. Here's what happened:
Try #1 - Upgraded from "Software Update" in OS X Tiger. Result: Dead iTunes icon. iTunes wouldn't start. Removed it. Reloaded 7.2 and all was back to normal.
Try#2 - Reinstated original OS X desktop theme through Shapeshifter. Checked disc permissions with Disk Utility. Restarted computer. Opened SAFARI (not Firefox). Went to apple.com, downloaded COMPLETE iTunes 7.6. Installed. No restart. Everything is fine. I have 7.6, no troubles. Everything works OK.
After my first experience I was a bit frustrated and after thinking about it and doing some Googling and forum reading, there are obviously LOADS of people out there using 7.6 with no problems. I found some folks recommending checking disk permissions and dumping any 3rd party iTunes programs. I had no 3rd party iTunes stuff but wondered about Shapeshifter. I have had minor conflicts with it and iTunes in the past. It worked!
Maybe the Shapeshifter thing had nothing to do with it. I think probably the biggest thing was just simply going directly to Apple and downloading the whole package rather than an upgrade through Software Update. Don't delete your old iTunes, just let 7.6 upgrade it by itself.
Of course I can't make any guarantees to anyone. As always, proceed with caution and at your own risk!
Good luck!Just a little more info on this:
The reason that Shapeshifter causes issues with new iTunes versions is that Shapeshifter actually replaces resources inside your applications to change how they look. When new versions of those applications come out, the resources inside are often different, but the old version of Shapeshifter does not know that, so it happily blasts away the new resources and replaces them with ones it "thinks" will work. -
How come Apple are slow on upgrading OpenGL?
I'm curious on why Apple are slow on upgrading OpenGL on OS X?
Yosemite supports up to OpenGL 4.1 and OpenGL is up to 4.5 now?
Would be great if Apple could update OpenGL little more often, but I guess that is just wishful thinking on my part.I'm running 10.10.3 and have this for OpenGL as reported int eh Software/Frameworks of the System Information.
OpenGL:
OpenGL:

Will the apple store let you upgrade in store
will the apple store let you upgrade in store if you buy the iphone4 because of the micro sim. or will l have to go to o2 and get my micro sim before the iphone comes out . l was going to get the iphone4 when comes out at the apple store because l would rather got to the apple store than a o2 store
All iphones in Apple stores have sims already installed in the phones. You should have no problem doing everything right in the store.

I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.
In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

my wife and I are now sharing the same laptop, mine was stolen, we have separate apple ID accounts. i upgraded to iphone 4 after the robbery and activated my phone on her laptop. when i try to download or upgrade apps her apple ID keeps popping up. can we have separate accounts using the same laptop with different phones? if so, how can i fix this?
It sounds as if you're using the same Mac OS X login account on that computer. If you create a separate login account for yourself, it will be as if you have two computers (other than the fact you can't both use it at the same time, of course).
Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups to create a new user account for yourself. Log out of your wife's account, then log in to your own account. You can now set up this user environment any way you like. When you launch iTunes the first time, enter your Apple ID and log in to the iTunes Store. Redownload all of your content. Then connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable - it will treat it as a new phone, let iTunes wipe the phone and set it up as new.
You might then want to set up Fast User Switching within System Preferences->Users & Groups which will allow you and your wife to swap the laptop between the two of you easily without even having to log out one account in order to log in to the other.

Why Apple store can't Upgrade the storage for Macbook Pro Retina after sale?
Hello everyone
I am disappointed from apple store .
One month ago i bought the new MacBook Pro Retina with storage 256 GB and now i would like to upgrade the storage to 768 GB as mentioned in there website where you can configure the storage higher,but unfortunately i went to apple store to upgrade,but they refused and they said we only upgrade within the order in the beggining before you buy it !!!!!!!!
even if i go to normal shop they will do the upgrade but i will lose my waranty .
Is there any advice ?
Thanks
KhalidNo one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.
