Location Free Vs Apple TV - A product for Mac?

Hi,
Can someone eexplain to me what Location Free is? - Apparently it's a sony product, and I am wondering if there is a comparable product for Macs.

Sling TV is the closest match. Basically, Sony's location TV allows you to hook up two video sources to the access point (the location free is a wired/wireless access point) and broadcasts the video over the internet. Within your intranet (you wireless inside your home) you get full speed access, but if you try to access outside of your home (on some other wireless hotspot) you are limited by the upload speed of your internet provider.
Also, location free comes with only 1 license. If you have multiple laptops you have to buy additional licenses. The exception to this is if you own a psp, you can register as many psps as you want. A limitation of the system is that only one device can use it at a time. There is a mac client for Location Free, but you have to buy the software, it does't come with it.
By the way, it is a bit$$ to set up. I set one up for a friend a couple of weeks ago.

  • Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    I doubt it since that type of damage is caused by the user, not a defect. You can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99.

  • Convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011

    Hello, 
    need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?
    thanks.

    Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)
    add account to Apple mail and Outlook 2011
    Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails
    are there.
    There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail
    that you want to convert and your mails are transferred within no time.

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

  • Apple releases Java update for Mac OS X Tiger

    Apple released J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on Tuesday, an update for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger users. According to notes provided with the update the release delivers improved reliability and compatibility for the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. With today's release J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Apple notes that Java 1.4.2 is still installed on the machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2. The update is available as a download from Apple's Web site
    or via the Software Update mechanism in Mac OS X.

    When I go to the DOWNLOADS Section of the Apple Support page and find the Java update, I see "(PPC)" next to it. Does that mean anything?

  • Is the apple TV the product for me?

    I think what I want to get is an Apple TV - However, I am not sure, and I would be looking for different features than the norm (including what is on the info pages)
    I want something to play music and videos.  I have Bose Speakers hooked up to my airport express, but when I watch netflix on my iPhone or iPad, there is a delay in time when streaming - they aren't synced.  Also, when I play music from my iPad or iPhone, it CONSTANTLY cuts out and stops playing every few minutes and I have to start it again.  Will the Apple TV stream the sound in sync with the netflix videos? Or any other videos for that matter.  And will it stream music fluently?
    Next, I have a macbook pro and an LED display.  My HDMI cord is plugged in from my LED display to my computer.  Would I have to switch the cord every time I wanted to use it?  Or is there an integration between the few.
    Related to the question above - if I wanted to stream music through it, would I have to have it be using my LED Display? Is there a way to stream music through it without using itunes on my computer (takes up too much ram to use photoshop and illustrator AND itunes) and without having it use my Display? (if you need clerification, can I use my computer normally and play music without running another program)
    Also, I would love to be able to log onto remote on my phone, or with the apple remote, and be able to start playing music without having to log onto my computer and open up itunes.  Just be in the other room and hit 'play'
    Anyways, I know these are idealistic and demanding tasks, but after thinking about it it is completely possible that the Apple TV could solve all these issues for me.  At the same time, it might not be able to solve any.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hey, sorry for the late reply.  I guess what I was saying was that I wanted something to stream music and something I could start from the other room.
    When I play music on my computer in iTunes, then the music is fine, but when I play it through my phone, it is choppy and always stops. I figured that was just normal because it wasn't a well integrated feature in the iPhone and iPad...  Does that sound like a network problem or a phone problem...?  I've tried restoring my phone and it is up to date.  But again... it works flawlessly when I use iTunes on my computer.
    Secondly, I wanted something that I wouldn't have to log on to start playing, but with Apple Lion's interactive screensavers, that will soon be fixed
    Thirdly, I wanted something that I could run music through without running another app on my computer... until I get a new one.  To tmartine, I'm saving up for a mac pro eventually, hopefully they come out with a thunderbolt one to match the new iMac's speed.  However, student salary as a graphic designer... not exactly the best
    I figured that the Apple TV might be able to do all this, which is why I posted here.  I guess it can't/won't help/fixing my other stuff will work better and cheaper.  So thanks!

  • How can i set the location of my pictures in photos app for mac osx?

    Not every photo I import into my MacBook have all the metadata in them. iPhoto allowed for setting the location, but in Photos I cannot manage to do so. Is there another way to do it or perhaps it's coming with an update?
    Thanks
    MacBook Mid-2010
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
    Photos 1.0

    Adding location data is not yet supported in Photos.
    And we do not know, if future updates will  support this feature. It might help, if you send back feedback to Apple with a feature request. You can use this form:  Apple - Photos - Feedback
    As a work-around, use third party apps to add location data before you import the photos to Photos.
    You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
    Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
    See:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
    To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
    Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
    I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.

  • Are there any Good File Managers Like iFile for Jailbroken Devices that are Free or Cost LESS then $34 for Mac?

    I'm looking for something that i can use to tranfser Video's to my Mac Mini. I have iFile for my iPhone but it's jailbroken so I'm looking for something that is Close to this that's free or something that's not Costing $34. 

    Transfer videos from where to your Mac?
    The Mac already has a file manager for transferring all kinds of files from virtually anywhere.
    It's called the Finder.
    You don't need third-party software to transfer videos from an iPad to your Mac either. Everything you need is built-in. Use iPhoto, iMovie, or Image Capture.

  • What are the Best Recommended Products for Mac OS X Server (Apache and ???)

    I investigated Oracle and PHP combo for robust database services to be able to create forms, store employee applications, resumes, do financial requests, invoices, ecommerce stuff, document and lists collaboration like Microsoft Sharepoint using Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server, etc. What are recommended products that I can easily develop in to code and do the requested stuff using Mac current (Apache and ????) technologies?

    Of course it depends on your needs, but the OS X server already comes with Apache, Ruby On Rails, Python, Perl and SQL.

  • Can anyone recommend apple extreme vs express for Mac pro and 2x iPads in home setting?

    Looking for advice on use of express vs extreme for home use

    The Extreme is dual band, so faster devices will connect to the faster band while slower devices connect at their own pace. The slower devices will not slow down the faster devices, as would be the case with the single band AirPort Expess.
    The USB port on the Extreme will support a hard drive and/or a printer. The USB port on the AirPort Express will support only a printer.
    The Extreme uses a new antenna array that will result in better coverage and deeper penetration of the signal. The Express uses a simple antenna arrangement.
    If you plan to connect any wired devices to the the router, the Exteme has 3 Ethernet ports.  The single Ethernet port on the Express will be used to connect to the modem, so any other wired devices will not be able to connect to the Express.
    The Express will handle a total of 10 wireless connections, while the Extreme will handle up to 50.
    For an $80 premium the Extreme probably provides 3 times the performance capabilty of an Express. That makes it a no brainer for me,  but you and others may disagree.

  • How to locate photos in finder through the Photos for Mac app?

    Hi, is there an option to locate where the photos are saved in finder through the Photos app. This feature was available in iPhoto but I am unable to locate it in Photos.

    I am also curious about this. What's the point of using a photo management app that will not produce changes in the finder? People are already complaining that they've had problems with the upgrade from iPhoto to Photos. If Photos becomes obsolete again, I want to make sure that I have all my pictures properly organized in folders. Is there any way to make this happen in Photos?

    You would probably have to ask Word, both in the literal since with VBA, and in the conceptual sense on the Microsoft forums.
