HT5437 Trying to set up AppleTV, how can I set up a config profile without a Mac?

I just purchased AppleTV and I am trying to conect to the internet through my University network (I live on campus). Apple Support says I need to create a profile via Apple Configuration. To get Apple Configuration I apparently have to have a Mac. I don't have a Mac so how do I do this? Do I need to go buy a Mac Computer to get my Apple TV to work?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you need a Mac, but I suspect it would be cheaper to borrow one than go buy one just for this.

How can I download IOS5 for my iPad2 3GS without a computer?

First off, you should post your question in the proper forum section. This section is for discussion about the Thunderbolt displays, not iPads.
but to answer your question, you can't. Since you are currently running version 4.3.3, it doesn't have the over-the-air software update feature. That feature came out with version 5.0.1. You will need to use a computer (or use a friend's computer or take it into the Apple Store) to update the iPad. Once you have updated it to iOS 5, then you will be able to get future updates without a computer.

Hello everyone. I've got a macbook pro running on mac os x 10.6.8; trying to set up norton antivirus and it requires mac os x 7 or later. How can I safely upgrade to mac os. 7?

leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:

I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?

I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?
Core 2 Duo, OS Lion (not mountain)

Hi, yes, I messed it up by trying to edit it.
I just clicked configure and changed the options. Is there a factory setting I can reset it to?
The problem when I try to get it back to normal is that it never looks just like it did. It looks mainly fine, but things like light blues look wrong.

how can i play iTunes on apple tv from my mac? i used to have an icon that synced the two but i can't find that icon anymore

If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

How can I delete a spam calendar invitation without replying?

OS X 10.9.4, Calendar version 7.0 (1841.1)
I have a spam calendar invitation. I am pretty sure it did not come through email, since I can't find any email message in inbox, junk, trash, or anywhere else, with any content that matches this spam event.
Besides, "Add new invitations to Calendar" has been set to "Never" all along.
How can I get rid of this invitation without sending a reply to the spammer?
One suggestion I read is to move it to a local "on my mac" calendar first. I don't have any such calendar, and can't see a way to create one!

You might try just selecting the event and pressing the delete key. You would normally get a prompt with the option to delete without notifying:

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X?

How can I eradicate this "Visual Touch" malware form my Mac OS X on google chrome?
I have tried everything i've seen in these forums so far, removing all extensions, manually added suggested filters & even uninstalled the entire browser and its contents on my device but still i am seeing the disgusting double underlined advertising haunting a large proportion of web pages i am visiting.
Any help would be appreciated to finding a credible solution. Although it's advised to remove the adblock software as it is the potential cause it is unbearable surfing without it. So after trying every advised antidote i've just reinstalled it, and living with the double green line bullsh*t.
Also i almost never use safari, just google chrome but when i went to try safari it looks like the parisite and found its way on to that browser too.
Is there any type of malware software to search the computer which can successfully find and remove the cause of this ongoing issue? please it's insatiably irritating

How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
The web site that I'm trying to access
There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Enable the Develop menu.
Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7
