Ideas for AppleTV firmware?

I was wondering if there was anywhere we can submit ideas for AppleTV firmware. I have digitized my large DVD/Blu-ray collection for esier viewing on all our TV's and I was looking for more filter options (Like by Rating). I was also looking for a quick scroll option (like the ipod does when you scroll through your music). And even a search functoin for your movie/TV shows for your itunes library. Now if I'm missing a setting somewhere then that will clear this all up.
Thanks for your help.

As much as I would love it if the Apple TV was to have a Blu-Ray player, that will never happen. That is not what Apple is trying to do with this product. If you also look at the direction they are going, it would seem that Apple thinks everyone can do away with all types of media and just go strictly wireless and buy everything through iTunes. This is a real shame. It would appear that Apple just doesn't understand that most people, such as myself, do not want to be pushed into something they don't want. If the Apple TV had a blu-ray drive it would be the only thing I needed for my media center. Since it doesn't I have to either buy one or get something that already has it such as a PS3.

An idea for AppleTV

It would be really cool to have some of the games on iPhone onto AppleTV. Turn AppleTV into a gaming-console.
Just like Playstation®3 I'd like to have a 3D community there as well. This would allow the AppleTV to even beat the Playstation®3 when we eliminate all CD's and DVD's so games will be bought through App Store.

no it wouldn't.
it would be a silly idea.
I don't fancy the idea either, but some people would probably like this. Up to them if they want to use the official feedback mechanism to voice this.
iPhone apps in many cases are novelty impulse purchases, but if there were an AppleTv 'App Store' with simple apps I bet it could be a good revenue stream.
Of course it won't handle any fancy games, and all this gaming community malarkey isn't my cup of tea either, but that's not to say there wouldn't be a market for this.

2 ideas for AppleTV: hybrid HD/blu-ray on Apple TV and a new video codec

I was impressed with the keynote but I have 2 suggestions for Apple -- one regarding Apple TV and one regarding a new possibility for movie rentals and/or quicktime and/or itunes:
1. Apple TV - to make this a truly revolutionary device, all you need to do is add a blu-ray/hd-dvd hybrid drive! Now THIS would be a breakthrough the stockholders could have put more money in for :\. You'd have rentals covered digitally through iTunes - regular format & HD, and it would 'just work' with ALL physical media too. Shortly, it would trivialize the format and precipitate the digital rental model even further because instead of paying for two players, consumers have an easy option to cover ALL bases. Once those are covered, the clarity of renting digitally becomes obvious, and iTunes dominates this arena.
2. You should look into ESPRE Solutions for your video codec and also for live streaming events through iTunes. They have a proprietary codec that can STREAM live HDTV resolutions at very low bandwidths. The latest story is here:

Imagine: Next Keynote. Live. HD. They can actually make that happen for you right now.
I'm an apple user and investor - I love this company and it's products. These are just things that occurred to me during the keynote to make things even better.

Hey, My macbook is giving me a flashing question mark on startup. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! Any ideas on how to bipass this?

Hey, My mac book is giving me a flashing question mark on start up. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences in order to help it find the system software it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! I also do not have the start up DVD/disk anymore. Any ideas on how to bypass this?

Contact Apple or an authorized Apple service provider.

New Idea for NSU...

Wouldnt it be great if Nokia Released a NSU with Username & Login section so people nokia users can register for BETA firmware this way this will help Nokia make Stable Firmware (Final Release)...
The Registration should also mention which products there will be BETA support for.

Great Idea !
the reason why nokia phones get killed its sometime due to the USB connection which are looose n a slight movement cuases disconnection n kills da phone.
also if it BETA firmware there should be a note like a warning message before continuing (phone may get killed during update continue at own risk) and phone can be repair by sending to Nokia Repair Centre under warranty...

High Definition Screensaver Art for AppleTV

I'm looking for high definition images/artwork ready formatted for AppleTV.
Essentially, I'm looking to use the AppleTV screensaver to transform my HDTV into a rotating gallery of great images - great background for my next party.
No sound required.
There used to be a company that did exactly this for Windows PCs and certain TVs (www.galleryplayer.com) but they went out of business a few months ago.
Anybody got any ideas?
I'm prepared to pay for the high quality images - not expecting them for free.
Thanks,
SM

Replying to myself. Kept trying different areas of the ipod this evening, clicking various buttons, including some I'd never used before. All of a sudden I could see my Nano in iTunes. I quickly clicked on Restore before iTunes changed its mind about recognizing the iPod. Moved some songs onto it and it appears to be back to normal. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted but OK on iPhone. If I sync will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please?

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

Ideas For A Text-Based Game

I tried working on Graphics a while ago, but I didn't have too much luck with that ;)
Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas about a 'fun' text-based game, that wouldn't be really based on RPG style stuff, because I don't really want to bother with having characters save and stuff(I kno how to though...)
Something like Rock/Paper/Siscors(spelling? lol), but kinda more adicting...oh right, forgot to tell you...idea for a MULTIPLAYER text-based game ;)
Thanks
-Been trying to think of a good idea all day, no luck ;)

Think of an existing exciting game, and make a clone. Thinking of new games is hard.
Scissors.
Addicting.
