Is there an alternative to the ATV1?

When my ATV1 dies (as it surely will eventually), is there an alternative device or system available anywhere that will do the following?:-
Provide on-board storage of my music and enable playback through my stereo system.
Display album artwork/video content on my TV
Connect with airport express to provide multi-room
Sync with iTunes
Allow remote control from an iPod or iPad
If there isn't, then my only hope may be that my ATV goes on forever (unlikely) or when it fails I look for a used one or an unused (new?) one if such a thing
is or will still be available at that time.
Hope someone has some suggestions, if not, it seems I'm pretty stuck!
Thanks in advance. 

I had the exact same concerns you have when ATV2 came out. The new ATV doesn't store all of my music for my house system, with all the benefits that brings. Apple was then offering "obsolete" 160 GB ATV1's at a special sale price. I bought one and am storing it for when my old ATV1 (three years old) finally gives up the ghost.
I notice that Amazon has some ATV1's for sale. The new ones are being scalped for more than they cost in the first place, but might be worth the extra money for you. They are also selling some refurbished ones for about Apple's sale price.

    is there an alternative to the app clean master on android?

    Probably not.  Unlike Android party Apps cannot access or modify the iOS core system to clean or purge or do anything to it.
    Not that you would need it anyway on an iPhone.
    For future reference, there are specific forums here for each device. If your question was relating to an iPhone you could have posted in the Using iPhone forum.

  • It is there an alternative to the Test-SystemHealth powershell cmdlet for Exchange 2013?

    Hello
    The Powershell cmdlet Test-SystemHealth, that was available on Exchange 2010, is no longer available on Exchange 2013.
    Test-SystemHealth cmdlet gathered data about the Microsoft Exchange system and analyzed the data according to best practices.
    Are there any alternatives to this for Exchange 2013?
    Thanks!

    Haven't really played with it too much, but check out Get-ServerHealth

    Looks to have replaced Test-SystemHealth.

  • Is there an alternative to the black unibody keyboard?

    I'm just about to try to swap my faulty unibody Macbook Pro and I'm wondering if there's any official or third-party alternative to the existing keys.
    The machine I currently have needs a new screen (bad light bleed, blue staggered tint across the bottom, and dust under the glass), new logic board (black screen of death and very high temperatures), new DVD drive (fails to recognize any brand or type of blank DVD media), and a new keyboard (the Fn and left alt keys are both loose and pop off frequently). All-told, it's been something of a poor first experience with Apple quality control, but the support staff are understanding and helpful.
    Well, at least over the phone ... the hard drive failed and required a complete reinstall in-store and the genius staff didn't exactly live up to their name, leaving me to troubleshoot and save what little data I could in target disk mode from a display model.
    In the two months I've had this computer the black keys have worn out very fast. The keys appear greasy, but after repeated cleanings it's clear that the protective coating on the black paint has worn off, making a section of the spacebar and several frequently-used keys "shiny."
    Thanks to those two keys that like to pop off frequently, I know that the new keys are simply frosted white plastic that's been painted black on one side. Eventually, with the coating now gone, the black paint will wear off as well.
    Unless Apple switches to a different coating, which I doubt they'll do any time soon, I expect the same wear problem to manifest on whichever replacement Macbook Pro is sent back to me.
    So I've been looking for replacement keys. Does anyone know if the white Macbook keyboard would fit into a Macbook Pro chassis? I've used the white models before and though they can eventually yellow, the keys tend to hide their wear much better than the black ones have. I'm going to ask the authorized repair shop in San Francisco about the possibility, but I doubt they'll do the swap under warrantee.
    Or is there a third-party company that produces a more rugged key than the ones that Apple uses? Thinking a textured grey one or something. The current keys feel very plastic and cheap, much less comfortable than the older silver keys on the many Powerbooks and Macbook Pros I've been given for work.
    Just curious. These models are still fairly new and it will probably take some time for third-parties to offer alternatives, but I'd love to hear if someone's found a company stepping up with plans for a solution to the problem. Or even if there's one that offers pre-cut plastic stickers to protect the keys from such early wear.

    Hi, nbuubu. I'm using a clear silicone keyboard "skin" on my new MBP. I don't like the way it looks, and the feel of it takes some getting used to. But it's certainly protecting my keycaps, and no crud is getting into the computer through the crevices around them.
    Actually, I'm not sure how much of the getting-used-to is necessitated by the "skin" and how much of it is because of the keycaps' very flat surfaces, compared to any other KB I've ever used. I'm accustomed to "dished" keycaps that help keep my fingertips properly positioned. I guess it's possible that there just isn't room for 3D keycap surfaces in the thickness of the MBP. And as I say, I'm getting used to these.

  • Is there a alternative for the filter oil paint?

    Adobe remove the filter oil paint with the new version of Photoshop CC 2014... I use this filter a lot, is there a alternative?

    You will find the Oil Painting Filter in Photoshop CC.  It has been taken out of Photoshop CC 2014.
    So if you have Lightroom Creative Cloud, you should have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I have been looking for it for 4 days now, and I just found it.  I am so happy.

    Baïkal looks the solution, but do i understand correctly it requires me to have a Mac running as server 24/7? Rather than having my MacBook (which switches on and off due to the nature of working with a MacBook) do the job? As a simple end user who chose Mac for its ease of use, this seems an exciting path to go....
    No. You can turn it on when you want to sync, just like when you turn it on to plug in the USB cable.

  • Is there an alternative to the Creative Centrale software?

    Hi all
    The reason I ask is because I'm really struggling using it. I can rip CDs to the player no problem, but find it well nigh impossible to add music already on my PC to the transfer list. Plus it seems to take an age to load up and see what's on the player, whereas ye olde Creative Jukebox software which my previous player ran with was quick and so easy to use. Can anyone help me out or give me advice on Centrale that I may be missing? I've tried using Windows Media Player but find that doesn't work properly either, so it appears the only thing I can do is cut and paste music using Explorer which seems cack-handed and clumsy.
    Many thanks in advance.

    >Centrale is an absolutely worthless program...don't even bother using it. To transfer your files onto your Zen, all you have to do is:
    . Put your files to be transferred into a folder...any folder...then open that folder.
    2. Dock your Zen (jeez, that sounds dirty)
    3. Go to "my computer" and click on the "my zen" icon.
    4. Then simply copy and paste your files from your folder onto your Zen...works every time.

  • Alternative to the JComboBox ?

    Hi !
    The last 2 days I tried to change tho color of a disabled JComboBox. I contacted serveral forums but I have not found a solution. If the JComboBox is setEnabled(false) the Background is grey and the Fourground is darkGrey and this is not useful for printscreen. I cannot read the content on the paper.
    I think I have to change the objects and remove the JComboBox from my program. Is there an alternative to the JComboBox ?
    Thank you Wolfgang

    try java.awt.ChoiceChoice is okay, the disabled colors are okay, but if I try to print the JPanel where the Choice is added, the content of the Choice-Object do not appear on the paper.
    to change the L&F or the systemcolorsHow can I change it ?
    With the UIManager ?
    with what method, I have not found a method for disabled objectcolor.
    Thank you ! Wolfgang

  • Is there an alternative to DBMS_OUTPUT???

    I have written a stored procedure that builds an update statement dynamically, basically I am updating a table with multiple fields, but not all fields need to be updated.
    So I am building my update statement to update only the fields that need to be. BUT, I am still testing it and I want to output the completed Update statement (that is being assigned to a variable, sqlScript) so I can verify that it looks good.
    But I am getting an Oracle error (ORA-20000: ORU-10028: line length overflow, limit of 255 chars per line). Obviously the update statement is violating the DBMS_OUTPUT 255 character limit, is there anyway I can avoid this error?? Are there any alternatives to the DBMS_OUTPUT?? Can I output my variable to a .txt file or anything??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    >>Obviously the update statement is violating the DBMS_OUTPUT 255 character limit
    Exactly. The DBMS_OUTPUT package cannot handle more than 255 characters per line
    You have two workarounds:
    The following recursive procedure below acts as an wrapper for the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE , and you can output strings greater than 255 bytes/characters

    OR
    Instead of using DBMS_OUTPUT to show the output:
    - create a table with a LONG column;
    - insert the text into this LONG column;
    - query the table.
    Example:
    SQL> create table mytable (l long);
    Then, modify your stored procedure to insert the value into this table:
    INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (myvalue);

  • How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    I am a 'newby' to the discussion world.  Hope I am doing this right.  How best to save photos?  I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.  Is it better to export them all, dragthe Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

    Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

  • Is there a good apple based alternative to the personal. finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    Is there a good apple based alternative to the persona finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    I switched from Quicken on a Windows computer to iBank on a Mac. It is a very good program, has very good free download connections to financial institutions (optional), and very good reports. The only negative is that it is just different enough from Quicken that there is a learning curve and the first month or two were frustrating -- but that is likely true of anything that you might change to. http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/

    I know you can do better you have before.

    lov2bugu, you said things the exact way I wanted to express them! It was like watching me talking to a SONY’s CEO.
    I don’t really think they are not aware of the problems. SONY used to be the 27th largest company in the world, according to Forbes. They are now at the 456th place!!
    They are aware of their problems and I think, the move to buy the remaining stocks from Ericsson, is a move to bounce back into the market. They found the right time, where the stock is too low and the economics around the globe don’t  look promising enough. I have to recognize them, all the bad phases they went into this year … hacking attack, loss of their factory in London, global economic climate etc.
    But these are not excuses good enough not to produce quality, reliable and technologically advanced goods. I think that SONY is not to blame for the bad course SE has had. I think this is what SONY wants to revert. They want to “embody” all their technology … BRAVIA engines (TV Tech), Walkman and Cybershot tech (using Carl Zeiss lenses), VAIO (Comp tech) and finally PS3. Ericsson tried to integrate them, unsuccessfully.
    Overall, I thing SONY, did not have or did not attempt to have the control of SE, hence, the answer you got back from SONY “… anything related to SE must be posted on the website of SE”. I think they will bounce. Just give ‘em some time. I’m willing to give them time, but not too much though. Just because I’ve always loved this brand!

  • Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

    Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

    Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
    Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
    Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
    Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
    Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
    It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
    Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
    http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
    It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
    If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
    Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
    Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
    If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
    For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
    ""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
    I just changed it to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
    This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
    If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,
    If you want to get rid of the Portable Apps splash screen, click here:
    http://www.ghacks.net/2011/06/06/getting-rid-of-portableapps-splash-screens/
    Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
    Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
    Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
    Here is a screenshot:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
    Here is the download link:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
    Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
    "C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
    I just changed it to:
    "C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
