Is there a way to connect an Apple TV directly to the Internet?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to forgo the network connection and just plug my Apple TV straight into the broadband modem via ethernet cable for internet access to the iTunes Store.
I have DHCP enabled, but the Apple TV is telling me the iTunes store is unavailable. Same for YouTube when I try the direct connection. When I switch the ethernet cable back to the router, everything is fine.
-thanks

I tried looking at the network connection settings from my G4, and then plugging them in manually to the Apple TV, but that also failed.
It's not a big deal, I'm just trying some new things out.
Someone let me know if they have ever been able to connect an ethernet cable directly into a broadband modem and successfully pulled songs/podcasts/tv shows etc. from the internet onto the Apple TV.
--Muchas Gracias

  • Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

  • Is there a way to save a photo I found on the Internet to my photos on my iPad mini? It only lets me save to my homepage, which I don't want to do. Please help!

    Is there a way to save a photo I found on the Internet to my camera roll photos? Here is my dilemma, I control a company's Facebook page and like posting cool photos, however because the business is just one of my pages I cannot simply post it to Facebook. On my laptop I normally do save as and choose from photos to upload, but it seems as though I cannot do that on my iPad mini.
    I am also a brand new apple user.

    To save an image while in a browser like Safari tap and hold on the image until a Save Image choice appears. Tapping on Save Image will put the image in your Camera Roll.

  • Is there any way to download a backup to icloud over the internet

  • I know this is a common question - but is there a way to connect a USB pen drive to the iPad? (See details)

    Basically, I just bought a Nexus 7 after growing impatient waiting for the iPad mini.  But the Nexus has a fault, and I'm taking it back next week.  I'm wondering whether to get my money back, or just get another - because it's a pretty good device!
    My major big thing about it, is that I can plug a USB pen drive into it with a OTG cable and either just stream pictures, documents or movies - or save them to the Nexus for viewing without a dangly wire to annoy me.  It's great!  However, being an Apple fan - an iPad mini (if it comes out!) would be simpler, because it would sync to iCloud etc.  whereas obviously my Nexus 7 doesn't do this at all.  The only iCloud factor I can access is my mail.  Which isn't a problem, just a prefference.
    So, with current iPads - is there a way, without jailbraking the device, to say stream movies to the device through a USB pen drive/external HDD, and save them to the iPad?
    I've seen ways on YouTube but thought it was best to ask here.
    If this was possible, I'd swap the Nexus for the iPad mini straight away - the Nexus 7 is fantastic!  No problem with it, if it wasn't for iCloud, I'd keep that.
    Oh, and as a closing question on the iPad mini/Apple Maps - the Nexus 7 lets you download offline maps, and also you have a GPS which is used even when not on wifi - do you think this will be likely on an iPad mini? I can't see it myself.
    It's a sad day for me, when I start to think Google may still have the upperhand on 7" tablets, even after the iPad mini is released.  I might even wait for the Second generation (if it exists!) - just because I for some reason never like first generation things from Apple.
    But anyway, that's a lot of questions and info!
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • Cannot connect to Apple update server although the internet is working properly

    Did anyone find a fix? iPhone connects, and on the Mac Air (with OSX 10.7.4) Safari gives me NSPOSIX Error Domain:1. Skype on the same Mac Air seems to be working fine.
    It started just this morning, occasionally at first, and now looks like constantly.
    I've cleaned Safari cache, checked DNS, restarted computer, restarted router. Nada.

    I called Apple tech support and spoke to David, who was very helpful.  Removing Symantec products fixed it for me.
    First thing we did was a 'Safe Boot'. Turned the computer off, and as it restarted, pressed the Shift key. That starts just the core of the Operating System without any add-ons. Safari worked just fine. So the problem was narrowed down to third-party installed applications.
    Things we then tried:
    Removing Computer > Library > Caches directory and <User Home> > Library > Caches directory. (The Library folder is hidden by default. In a new Finder window, I clicked 'Go' and pressed the Options key to see the Library directory.)
    We also cleaned out Safari data.
    Checked to see no unnecessary plug-ins were installed in the Library > Internet Plug-ins directories.
    Checked out the LaunchAgents directory in the Library directories to make sure nothing "funky" was kept there.
    Restarted.
    None of it solved the problem.
    So finally, he asked me to try uninstalling Symantec products. I went into Applications > Symantec Solutions folder and started the Uninstall program. Restarted computer. *Browser back to normal!* Apparently, some Symantec firewall setting may have become corrupted, preventing the browser from going to the internet.
    I have since reinstalled Symantec, and so far things seem fine.

  • How do I connect my Time Capsule directly to the internet cable from the wall?

    My Time Capsule only works if I connect it to my wireless router with a LAN cable. But, when I plug the cable from the wall directly into the Time Capsule, it just blinks orange. What am I not doing right?

    There is no modem in the TC.. you need a modem.. your wireless router is actually a modem router.. not just a modem.. so it could be replaced with a straight modem.. sometimes.. it can be bridged .. sometimes..
    But you still haven't told us enough.. what broadband do you have?
    What model is the existing modem router? How does it authenticate to the ISP?
    Once we know those things we can suggest further options.

  • Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to the iPad 2?

    I have a lot of music and movies stored on an external hard drive and want to know if there is a way to get it onto my iPad?

    Connect the drive to your computer, add them to ITunes and sync to the iPad.
    If you do not want them to copy to your internal drive, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
    Uncheck Copy to ITunes media folder when adding to library.

  • 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?

    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,

  • Is there any way to connect an original Apple TV to the new one?

    Is there any way to use an Apple TV original in conjunction with an AppleTV 2?  If not can you by connectors to hook up an Apple TV 2 to a receiver ar TV w/o HDMI?

    They won't communicate with each other at all.
    Some people wondered if you could use an AppleTV 2/3 to stream content stored on AppleTV 1 without iTunes running but this is not possible.  iTunes in teh cloud and iTunes match may offer a solution however.
    As for adapters they are available but can be hit and miss as converting digital signals to analogue can potentially scupper the HDCP protection required for movies etc.

  • Is there any way to connect a Kindle 3G wifi to apple router

    Is there a way to connect Kindle 3g wireless ot Airport Extreme?

    There has been a lot of posts on the amazon forums from various people alleging the kindle does not connect properly to an airport base station. If this ever happens you can always run airport utility to get the " equivalent network password " and type that into the kindle.
    Run airport utility
    Double click on the airport on the left side
    At the very top of your display click on base station
    Click on equivalent network password
    Type the WPA Pre-Shared Key into the kindle 3 instead of your regular wifi password

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.
