Is multitasking possible with Apple tv

I was wondering if it would be possible to wirelesslly connect your macbook pro and watch movies on a tv using the apple tv BUT then use programs while the movie is playing on your tv. Multistaking in a way.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Fortunately, that isn't possible.

  • Is dual display possible with Apple TV?

    As well as connecting my ATV to a Plasma I'd love to be able to simultaneously connect it to a second LCD screen. Is that possible directly from the ATV?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    There are some component and HDMI cable splitters, but I really wouldn't recommend that you use them. You will need a hardware splitter to maintain reasonable quality and they likely won't be cheap.
    You cannot use the HDMI and component outputs simultaneously.

  • IMac late 2009 having screen issue. Return possible with apple care?

    I have 27" 2009 model. I bought it when it first came out. I knew that some of the first batch had screen 'yellowing' issue back then. I thought mine was fine or it was fine then it went bad.. either way I can now notice that the right side of my screen is more 'yellow-ish' than left. It is pretty significant difference and effects my graphic work.
    I have bought apple care and haven't opened the envelop yet but what are my options? Do they accept return and give back refurbished ones? if so what's the turnaround time... or do they offer repair option at apple store?
    Thanks in advance

    You need to contact AppleCare, you can find the phone and link information here.

  • If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?

    If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?

    You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
    Sorry.
    For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

    Yes, it is one of the things AirPort Express was specifically designed for.

  • Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

    Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

    The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
    A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
    I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
    But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
    External storage for iPad?
    A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk  in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

  • Is it possible to replace the iTunes (Mac) 10 band EQ with Apple's 31 band EQ?

    Apple supplies a very nice 31 band graphic equalizer as part of its Audio Units. This is the same Audio Unit as the 10 band graphic EQ. You choose to use 10 octave bands or 31 1/3 octave bands from within the module. So I guess it should be possible to use the 31 band EQ from inside iTunes Mac. Anybody figured out how?.
    Why do I need it?. My current stereo music palyback system is comprised by a MacBook Pro, a PreSonus FireBox D/A converter and a pair of Meridian M2 active speakers, which, good as they are, have an annoying, narrow 3 dB peak at 3 kHz. The nearest bands on the iTunes 10 band EQ fall exactly to each side of this peak (2 & 4 kHz), so to attenuate the 3 kHz peak I need to push down the 2 & 4 kHz bands a bit, but the resulting filter is far too broad and the outcome is never pleasing. I tried with Apple's AU's 31 Band Graphic and the Parametric EQs from within Fidelia and the result is quite good. But I don´t like Fidelia's interface and limited library management capabilities, so I prefer to use iTunes as the main music player.
    I tried running the iTunes audio through AU Lab using SoundFlower, and it does work when using the Mac's Buit-in output, but when I choose the FireBox output AU Lab stops receiving any audio. Switching back the AU Lab output to built-in audio resumes the audio input to the AU Lab document. I tried all sorts of combinations with no luck. Maybe this is because the FireBox is also an audio input interface?. Anybody knows how to fix this issue?.
    But all this fuss would be saved, and a lot of people around the world would have a much better life using iTunes in their Macs, if Apple allowed choosing to use the 31 band graphic EQ from within iTunes, which has the narrow 3.1 kHz band that I need to flatten out the frequency response of my speakers. Many other users mught also benefit from the finer control to correct loudspeaker or room acoustics defficiencies.
    Any ideas?. Would Apple please allow users to choose the rpeferred EQ: 10 or 31 band?. Thanks in advance!

    This is perfect: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
    Even in trial mode, it allows you to insert every AU plugins you want, configuring each application with a specific audio chain you desire.
    I'm currently using it for music (Itunes or Spotify, 31 band Eq as you said), but for watching movies could be a good choice as well.
    I find it particularly useful when I watch movies at night. In order not to **** off the neighbors, I put a compressor at the beginning of the audio chain to reduce the dynamics, allowing me not to have crazy volume jumps.
    Best,

  • Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

    Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

    > Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
    Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
    Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
    Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
    ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
    ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).

  • I need to generate a still shot from from a video. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase.

    I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

    For FREE do the following:
    When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause. 
    Take a screen shot:  Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab.  Will do the above with just a single click.
    If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search.  This way, you can find exactly what you want. 

  • Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbooks

    Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbook pro & macbook air? How about the simultaneous use? Will I as well open it in my ipad and iphoto?

    How Come? I thought that to an external drive move iphoto library is not a problem  -  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3012995?tstart=0. And Apple Time Capsule including the an external drive.

  • Is it possible to use Time Capsule with Apple TV? Without having our macbook pro, iPhones or iPads as middle link?

    Hi there.
    I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
    So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
    Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
    Best Regards
    Christian

    But then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
    Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
    But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data? 
    (You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
    A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
    Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive.  So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.

  • Hi, Im using apple 5s with gold color , I want  to replace it with space grey  color .Is it possible in apple store?

    Hi, Im using apple 5s with gold color , I want to replace it with space grey color .Is it possible in apple store?

    If you are within the return period policy of the retail where you purchased the
    iPhone, return it and buy a new one. If outside the return period, sell the current
    iPhone privately and use the money received toward a new iPhone. Or buy a
    case in your preferred color for your current iPhone.
    If purchased from Apple US, return period is 14 days. I believe it is the same elsewhere,
    but check with your local Apple store. Be advised, that even if you are within the return
    period, returns are accepted only in the country of original purchase (EU is one country
    for this purpose).

  • Thoroughly disappointed with Apple & Lion...

         I have never been disapointed with Apple before, but after using Lion for nearly a week I am really upset. I used to work at an Apple Store, I have used Macs since I was about 4, I try to convert all my friends, I follow nearly every rumor site I can find, I use my mac or my iPhone for basically anything I possibly can, and I bring my Mac to work with me and use it instead of my office-supplied PC whenever humanly possible. For the first time ever, I actually chose to use the PC over my Mac because of Lion...
         Last night I tried to use TimeMachine to backup my computer to my 2TB G-Drive. After "Preparing backup" for nearly an hour, it finally started to backup and it crawled through the backup slower than I have ever seen it before. After about an hour and a half it finished backing up 24GB. I turned it off for the night thinking it had been running at full capacity for a while and needed a break. Now whenever I boot up my mac, I have one of a few different problems: Either finder will not load at all and my desktop will be blank and the menubar will have gaps in it, or finder will load and none of the icons on the desktop will be responsive and the dock will not load. Earlier I did get it to boot up correctly and I used it for about 30 minutes until I got the pinwheel in safari, then mail became unresponsive, then iCal became unresponsive, then System Prefs became unresponsive... I had to restart my computer and then it got stuck at the grey screen with the spinning wheel on the restart.
    Since I have installed and used Lion:
    My system is gotten really really slow; evertything from logging in to changing settings to opening applications has become a taxing chore that works by CPU to the bone (I can't even launch Activity Monitor without it freezing up!)
    I have gotten the pinwheel on many occasions and I have frequently been forced to force quit apps or force restart my computer
    I have had problems with a few of the new getstures; I have gotten fully used to the idea of scrolling up to go down and vice versa, but frequently I will have my thumb on the trackpad and when I scroll up, Mission control will launch (I changed the settings to 4 finger swipe up so this no longer happens, but still annoying Apple wouldn't have thought to address this)
    I have noticed minor glitches in many different areas of use; i.e., when logging in with a desktop background that changes on login, the translucent menubar will show the previous photo while the desktop shows the new photo.
    Many useful gestures have dissapeared: there is a gesture for swiping through windows in the iTunes store/app store/finder etc. but it is very irritating and not as functional (why couldn't they just use the 2 finger swipe?!?), there is no longer an expose that shows minimized windows (unless you do a 3 finger down with the app already open)
    No easy shortcut for fullscreen apps!!! Come on Apple, CMD+CTRL+F is a pain to do with one hand... why not create a simple shortcut or a gesture to enter fullscreen
    TimeMachine constantly displays "Last Backup: Delayed" even though it has been less than 24hrs since my last backup
    Whenever I try to use the dock (unhide it by moving my mouse to the right side of the screen), the dock rarely responds the first time and I will have to repeatedly move my mouse to the side for the dock to pop up.
    For a company that never seems to dissapoint, Lion seems like an absolute disaster. I have had more problems with my computer in the last 6 days than I have had in the last 6 months with Snow Leopard. I think Apple needs to step-up, man-up, acknowledge their customers, acknowledge the complaints from customers, acknowledge the issues customers have found, and work 24-7 until they can release a patch to fix this stuff...

    Forums like these exist to help solve people's problems. Happy users don't tend to post on support forums.
    You'll find that the huge majority of users are happy, and in fact the feedback on Lion has been very positive.
    I would focus on trying to resolve your personal issues, before having a rant about Lion.
    First of all, I started off my commenting on issues last week defending Lion and trying to convince everyone that there were some minor issues and that the software was a significant improvement at the least.
    The reason why the feedback for Lion has been so positive is the exact reason you claim the discussion boards are all negative. For the most part, people who are upset with Lion are not going to go to the App Store and give Lion a negative review; they are going to search for similar issues online and try to find solutions before giving a bad review.
    And personal issues? Either you are trying to insult me by bringing an unrelated matter into this or you are claiming I have not tried to resolve any of the issues stated above. I have spent hours upon hours scouring the discussion board articles for answers to these problems and have found nothing but pleas for help from other members. This is not a rant, it is simply voicing my opinion regarding Lion.
    Going back to SL would more than likely cause more problems if not excacerbate the problems that already exist. Not to mention that would be a "sweeping it under the rug" kind of solution...
