Can Apple TV be used in South Africa?
I want to give Apple TV as a gift to someone who will soon move there.  Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, it will work anywhere. You may however not have all the features that are elsewhere, depending on what is available in SA.

  • Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to TV?

    Can Apple TV be used to simply stream content, such as material streamed from web, to television?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV can't stream content from the Internet, unless it is through a pre-installed app that runs on the Apple TV, of which there are about a dozen.
    You'd need to elaborate on your question, if you want further information.

  • Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

    can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

    The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
    Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.

  • Can Apple TV be used to connect OS X to TV as monitor?

    I am looking for a way to use my TV as monitor (and maybe use the TV speakers as well) for my Macbook Pro but connect to the TV over the network. Can Apple TV be used for something like this?
    Any other idea?

  • Why can't I rent movies in South Africa

    Why do we have limited functionality on the iPad simply because we linked to a South African account?
    I can't download/rent/purchase any movies or music or games! This limitation is causing me to only use certain functionality on my iPad, which considering the price of the device doesn't seem fair. With the Anroyd application store you are not limited to certain apps or downloads, however with apple everthing seems so controlled! Can someone please comment on the above.

    Why can't I rent movies in South Africa
    Because the movie companies have not given Apple permission to rent their movies there yet.
    Apple don't own or create the movies. They sell and rent them on behalf of the movie studios under license. They cannot sell and rent movies without permission.

  • Can I buy an iPad2 in US and have it unlocked so I can add a SIM card in South Africa where I will be living.

    Can I buy an iPad2 in US and have it unlocked so I can add a SIM card in South Africa where I will be living?
    I have read that the AT&T model is "unlocked". Is this true? Do I have to ask them to unlock it?

    According to http://www.ipadincanada.ca/ipad-news/apple-confirms-ipad-2-3g-att-model-from-us- unlocked/ all GSM versions of iPad 2's are unlocked.  In the U.S.A. AT&T version is the GSM version, and you should be able to use it with GSM carriers in other countries if you buy their SIM.

  • Can Apple TV be used to make the tv the desktop display?

    I would like to use apple tv to use a flatscreen TV as the desktop display while my video port is used by a projector. Is that possible with Apple TV?

    No, sorry you can't do that.
    AppleTV is in effect a stripped down Mac rather than a device that streams the video output from another device.
    The AppleTV display output is generated by the AppleTV, so the device can only handle a limited set of media types either streamed to it wirlessly or synced to it's hard drive (plus some YouTube functionality).
    AppleTV decodes and renders the media data rather than iTunes.
    If iTunes rendered the data and sent the frames to AppleTV or allowed other apps to replicate the desktop it would be great, but it doesn't.

  • Theft of pc - can Apple help track use of registered pc?

    Our home was just robbed and our home pc which was the registered itunes account was stolen.
    Can Apple help track activity in order to help locate the hardware?

    A good idea would be to contact Apple's iTunes Store customer service and let them know your account has been compromised. It may not get your computer back, but at least your credit card number which you opened the account with could not be used to purchase items at the store.

    I would also ask that the credit card number be changed by the credit card company.

  • Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

    Hello.
    Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
    Thank you in advance.

    They can be used both as a USB-connected modem and as a Wi-FI hotspot. Wi-FI Hotspot tends to be the easiest to configure. To turn it on, you'll need to go to Settings > Personal Hotspot and configure the few settings that appear in the menu.
    Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
    Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?

  • Can anyone explain why iTunes in South Africa is limited to App Store

    In the South African store it appears we are restricted from purchasing anything other than AppStore items, for example:
    All the iTunes store content is not available : i.e. no music, movies, ebooks, etc.
    Also for the iPhone we cannot get access to any of the iPhone games advertised on Apple.com
    Can anyone provide some clarity on why Apple has chosen to restrict this content in countries like South Africa, we have a number of other legal online ways to purchase music, movies, etc. online so it appears very strange that Apple have implemented this restriction.

    Apple is limited by what the rights holders will allow them to sell. If they can not come to favorable terms with the people who own the distribution rights for the music, movies, television shows, they won't be able to set up an iTunes Store in that country. And, rights holders may not be the same in one country to the another.
    You can be fairly certain that, as a profit making company, Apple would be more than happy to take your money if they could do so.
    Best of luck.

  • Can Apple TV be used on a HDTV without HDMI port? If yes, what is needed for setting up?

    I have a Sony wega HDTV, and it does not have HDMI port, does anyone know if I can use Apple TV on it? If so, how is it set up?

    Current AppleTVs require a TV with HDMI.
    You may find some dubious adapters out there which purport to convert to other formats.
    If your Tv has VGA in and an audio input you might want to look at:

  • Can Apple TV be used as a back up drive

    I'm looking for a external hard drive to link to a couple of macs using Airport - I noticed that the Apple TV comes with a 160GB drive - which should be enough for my needs - is it possible for me to use the Apple TV to store regular files as well as movies, music and photos?
    Thanks

    What USB drive are you using? Any recommendations -
    I'd really like one that shares the same form factor
    as the
    AEBS and the Apple TV so I can ultimately stack
    them.
    Well, the AEBS at 6.5" X 6.5" and the Apple TV at 7.7" X 7.7" aren't exactly the same size, and I'm not sure there is a USB hard drive that stacks perfectly on top the Apple TV. However, Lacie makes a stackable drive with the exact same dimensions as the Mac mini and the AEBS. Newer Tech sold by Other World Computing also makes a stackable drive exactly the same size as the AEBS and Mac mini. I own the Newer Tech "miniStack" so I know a little more about that one. It's a combo Firewire/USB2 drive that doubles as a hub:
