I have an Apple TV 2, is there a way to limit use time?
Since the cable company will always tell you that the "connection looks good", it is a good idea to verify that for yourself, if you have not already done so.
Just connect your Mac directly to the modem, check the download speed that way, and note the results. If you do not have an application to test the connection speed, you can use something like this:
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Then, connect the modem to your router normally, and then connect the Mac to one of the LAN <-> Ethernet ports and check that way, and note the results. This should be about the same speed, or a bit less than the direct connection to the modem.
Then, power off the router and power it back up and try a wireless connection with the Mac relatively close to the router. You should see about 80-90% of the speed that you noted when the Mac was connected directly to the modem and the router using an Ethernet connection.
Make sure that there are no cordless phones anywhere near the router or Mac when you test the wireless connection.
Post back on your results.

I have two Apple IDs. Is there any way to consolidate them into one?
I have two Apple iTunes accounts and didn't realize it for a while so some of the music I purchased is associated with one account and some music is associated with the other. I was wondering if there is any way to connect the two accounts and consolidate into one so that all my music is connected to one account and I don't have to manage the account separately?
Thanks and I appreciate any input!From Here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -

I AM GOING ON VACATION AND DO NOT HAVE OTHER APPLE PRODUCTS. IS THERE A WAY TO RETRIEVE MY IMAC INFO?
IS THERE A WAY TO RETRIEVE MY IMAC INFO?
Are you asking if another computer, Mac or PC, can connect to your Mac at home over the internet and access your data? If so, it is a bit challenging for a novice, but yes, it can easily be done with the right software on both computers. -

My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?
Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.

Cheers!

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?
Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,

I have left my Macbook Air on the plain in Dublin. I didnt have it on ICloud. Is there any way I can track it? Maybe Apple provides such a suport?
If it's not registered with Track My Mac you can still do that - when/if it's turned on it will then show up.

Hi everyone. I have a iPod nano 5th gen and every time I charge it, it comes up with the apple sign. It just won't turn on. I can restart it but it goes to the apple again. Is there a way I could get it replaced? I did win it in a game at penrith bowling .Any thoughts????????
Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced. -
My husband has a work Ipad with a different Apple ID. Is there a way to load our personal music onto his Ipad with our Apple ID? We don't want to have to repurcahse music just for his Ipad. When we put it into our computer is asks us to switch the Apple ID, but we don't want to mess anything up for his work.
iPads are meant to be single user devices, with single ID's. The only way I can think of is if you burned cd's of your music, then ripped them on the work computer that he syncs with and get them on the device from there (I'm guessing this will work, I don't purchase music do I don't know if the DRM travels when you burn cd's or not).
You can't run 2 different apple ID's on the same iPad. -
ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?
If the movies were rentals then no.
If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.

I have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?
i have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?
Why are you changing your ID?
iTunes/app purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. For some actions like updating apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Just changing the ID does not not delete any media from the iPod.
When you delete the iCloud account for the iPod should should be offered the option to leave contacts on the iPod. See:

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.
Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.

I recently purchased a TV season on Apple TV with my own personal Apple ID. Is there a way to transfer that TV season to my husbands computer so that he can watch it when he's out of town for work?
You can't transfer to another Apple ID. You would have to sign in under your account on the computer and then download the content.
