i just bought apple tv and would like to set it up so it works right away.  i have samsung tv and yamaha receiver.  do i plug hdmi into receiver?  i assume plugs are in back of machined so i have to get behind all electronic equipment?  does that make sense?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your receiver is connected to your TV by HDMI and has a spare HDMI input port, then yes plug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV into your receiver.
If that's not possible the HDMI lead from the Apple TV can go straight to the TV and you can connect the receiver to the Apple TV with an optical audio cable.

  • I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

  • I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner.  I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated.  Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

    I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items.  I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin.  I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to.  I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else.  However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

    It shouldn't expire - none of my cards have ever had an expiry date on them.
    If the card doesn't have its value written on it then the only way to see its value is to redeem it onto an account.

    The answer is it depends on which model of MacBook Pro you have. This article has a table that shows you which versions of Windows you can install.

    I will be going to a resort in the Dominican Republic and would like to know if I need an adapter or some kind of special plug for my mac.

    You won't need a power adaptor since the AC adaptor auto-switches, but you may need a wall socket adaptor such as in the World Travel Kit on the Apple Store or from AAA or some department stores' luggage and travel section.

  • I just upgraded to Lion, I would like to backup the 3.8GB update file for future reference.  Can I and  where is it located?

    I downloaded the Lion upgrade from Snow Leopard, and now would like to backup that large file in case my disk ever crashes and I have to reload.  I don't want to have to re-purchase the upgrade again if I re-install from Leopard and then want to upgrade again.  Where is that large upgrade file and can I back it up?

    As it is in your App Store "Purchases", you can d/l at no cost on any Mac you own, and can even re-d/l and re-install at no cost anytime.

  • Have a Pearl but not sure if I love it... Should I get the Curve?

    Hi everyone!  I've got a dilemma I was wondering if anyone could help me out with.  Two weeks ago I bought my very first Smart Phone - a pink Blackberry Pearl 8130.  There are SO many things I really do love about this phone, such as the size of the phone overall.  It fits perfectly in my hand while holding it to talk, text, etc., and also while just carrying it.  It isn't big and bulky.  I actually love SureType.  It makes texting and IMing quicker for me, though it can take extra time when it doesn't choose the word you're trying to type but I always used T9 before so I'm used to dealing with that.  I've even gotten pretty used to the strange layout of the keys, and I'm sure I'd only get better with it as time went on so that's not a problem either.  The main problem I'm facing is that the keys are just too close together.  While I know where each letter or number key is, a lot of the time I end up hitting the wrong button because they're so small and close.  I'm a very small person and have very tiny fingers and I still struggle with it.  I don't know how the men out there use these phones!!  I also love the color of this one... I'm not usually into the typical black or grey or silver phones.  The pink is great.
    I have 30 days (now 18) to return the phone and exchange for a different one if I'm not liking mine.  My sister and niece just got the Curve 8330 and they really love them.  I'm trying to decide whether or not I should exchange mine for the Curve.  The thing is, I'm not really all that great with the full QWERTY keyboard.  I don't think my texting would necessarily go any faster with it, but I'm sure it'd be a whole lot more accurate!  And of course I wouldn't mind having the bigger screen.  I'm just a little wary because it's a bigger phone.  I'm afraid I wouldn't like it for that reason.
    So basically I'm just wondering if anyone out there has had the Pearl and the Curve and can compare?  Has anyone been in my situation and found they like the Curve better? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for your reply!  You've definitely got me leaning more toward the Curve now.    I'm sooooo bummed out that our Alltel doesn't have the pink Curve.   They're in the process of switching over to Verizon but said it'll be around late summer before they really start getting their phones in.  All I have to choose from is red and black!  If they had the silver one, I'd go for that even.  But as you mentioned, you can buy all sorts of skins and covers for them so I guess I can always give that a try!  If they'd had the pink Curve I would have exchanged in a heartbeat! haha  I'm such a girl sometimes.
    I really do a lot of emailing, texting, IMing, etc., so the Curve may be better for me.  My last phone was a Scoop (though I only had it for a few months because it was a replacement phone) and toward the end, I started to get used to the full QWERTY keyboard more.  I really like that the Curve has buttons that you can really depress... Not just the flat keys that you can't even really feel as you're pushing! 
    Thanks again for your help!  My sister and niece are also telling me I should go with the Curve.   

  • I have an iPad and would like to replicate my Bookmarks list from Firefox for MAC to my iPad Safari.app; can this be done automatically?

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.7, and an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3.
    On the MAC, I have Firefox for MAC v 19.0.2 and Safari 6.0.3
    On the iPad, I have only Safari for iPad. I always use Firefox as my browser for the MacBook, but there is no Firefox app for the iPad.
    My Safari bookmarks automatically update from the MacBook to the iPad, but not from Firefox to the iPad. Is it possible for the automatic update to be made from Firefox instead of Safari to the iPad Safari.app? If not, is there an easy way on the MacBook to keep the Safari bookmarks up to date with the Firefox bookmarks, so that the iPad shares my Firefox bookmarks?
    If not possible now, are you planning to make this possible for MAC users who also have an iPad?

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    If they are not in your country's iTunes store then the record company haven't granted Apple a licence to sell them - you can try requesting that they be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

  • I recently received an iphone 3G and would like to turn it in to an ipod touch

    I recently received an iphone 3G and would like to turn it in to an ipod touch. I have the original SIM card and have tried plugging it in to itunes. Unfortunately nothing seems to enable the WiFi. I took it to an apple store and the guy looked at for awhile and said, "you could buy a new one." Um, yes, thank you for that. What is wrong? The phone is in excellent condition so I can't imagine it is broken. Help!

    I have tried restoring it to the original settings. I have tried putting in the old AT&T sim card and connecting it to itunes (and then restoring it again). I have tried putting it in airplane mode and turning on the wifi. I have tried turning off/on the 3G capabilities. I have tried jailbraking the phone- although not very successfully as it took it off when I updated the iOS. Currently it is fully updated but continues to say no service in the top corner. When I turn the wifi off and then on for a second it will say searching but then switch back to no service. I have wifi in my house so it should be detecting a signal.
