Movie Storage using AppleTV

I am thinking about an ATV or actually two of them (one in the theater and one in the family room). I have a couple of questions. First a little background, I have an Imac and macbook with a Time Capsule I use just for backing up the computers. I have ethernet at both the locations I am interested in putting an ATV.
First questions is simple, can I have two ATV's on the same network?
Second, while I am probably not interested in ripping old stuff, if I start buying movies via Itunes, I would like to store them on another external hard drive and be able to access to both ATV's, is this practical? I guess I ask about external hard drives because I assume I will eventually fill up the ATV's.
Third, can one ATV access a movie on another ATV?
Finally, I am not interested in a real elaborate setup just something easy to use. Will ATV meet that objective?
Thanks in advance

yes, no problems with that.

the appletv cannot (and should not) be used as a primary storage device. it should only ever have copied of your media (not the only copy). anything you purchase on the appletv will auto sync back to your primary itunes library.
Third, can one ATV access a movie on another ATV?
no, appletv can only take stored content from your itunes library on a pc/mac.
Finally, I am not interested in a real elaborate setup just something easy to use. Will ATV meet that objective?
i'm sure it will assuming that you don't try to use it for something it wasn't designed to be.. ie a storage device or media server. the appletv is a client device and should be looked at as an ipod your tv.

HT3819 how can I use airplay to see a movie on my TV (using AppleTV) from my iPad?

How do I use Airplay to watch a movie stored on my iPad on my TV using appleTV? For example. I downloaded a rental from Amazon onto my iPad and I want to watch it on my TV that has appleTV hooked up to it...
OR can I watch movies from my amazon library on the appleTV directly?

Amazon has blocked the ability to airplay

Movement types used in these activities and also STO

HI SAP GURUS,
Movement types used in these activities and also STO ( PLANT TO DEPO), (DEPO TO PLANT ) WIT AND WITHIN 1 COMPANY CODES
AT PGI
AT BILLING
AT RETURNS
all possible ways OR any short cuts
points are to be rewarded for best relevent answer

hi
for PGI 601
for Returns 651
for Billing - None, because it is either copied from delivery or order.
What is a depo in your language? Is it a storage location,if yes, shop floor to storage location it is 911
for STO
If it is within company code STO, in the STO it is 101, during delivery 641.
it is intra company codes, then it is 101 in STO and delivery it is 645 or 647 (not sure)
goodluck.

Have 5 hd tvs, need to stream audio/video to tvs. Thinking of using AppleTV..

My wife is opening a pediatric dental office. We are placing LCD TVs above each chair for kids to watch TV during their visit.
I will have 5 TVs over 5 chairs. Nothing more than power to the TV is hardwired.
Questions:
Using AppleTV can I use the same Apple Username/ID for all AppleTV units?
Can I use the same Netflix ID on multiple AppleTV units?
Can multiple AppleTV units stream from one Airport?
Is there any other questions I should be asking?
Thanks!!

My thought is to have a wireless N network dedicated to the ATVs. Basically there would be 5 ATVs and one beefy machine with ITunes and Movies purchased to support them. I cant imagine 5 ATVs streaming would put a dent in a dedicated N wireless network.
Should be ok in theory but in practice you''l only know when you try.
I was curious about the need for Internet connectivity, seems that is a must.
If it's copy protected material, then yes.
My thought with the external drive was to download the movie files to 5 drives and connect each to an ATV. This would eliminate the machine and wireless network cost. BUT it seems that this is not supported...
Correct, not supported.

Hyperion 9.2 move storage relational DB

Hi,
Can anyone suggest what is the procedure to move storage relation DB server for Hyperion 9.2 with shared service, essbase and BI components?
Is it feasible as following steps:
1. backup and restore all databases from old server to new server.
2. reconfigure the new IP address, user name and password through configurator.
3. confirm all "reuse existing data.." buttons.
Any risk and checking steps?
Regards,
Kenneth

1) Bi store report in RDB and file system - best way migrate - export reports to xml files and import
2) Shared Service store in OpenLdap with BerkleyDB storage - best way migrate - export to xml :)
3) Essbase work with native database and best way to migrate use export to flat files

Why is there extra storage used?

Firstly, my MacBook Air is showing that I have 44.1 GBs of free memory, however, the math of the used storage does not add up, there is approx 70GB of extra storage used, even summing just Apps and Backups is more than my MacBook's total 251GB Disk.
Secondly, I have no idea where that "212GBs" of apps come from, there are only 25GBs of apps in my Apps folder, System information does not reveal other apps that I might have unknowingly downloaded either. I do have a few apps that are ported from .exe but those don't take more than 10GBs total.
Thirdly, what is "Backups" and where can I find it, I would gladly remove some.
Forth, (I checked) my user home folder only uses about 120GB, where does the rest come from?
Fifth, isn't there supposed to be a column for "available" in the chart.
if anybody has had any similar issues and has found a solution, I'd gladly take advice.
I'm using a Mid-2012 13" 251GB Macbook Air, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5 (Processor), 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (Memory), running OS X Yosemite Ver. 10.10.3.
Model Identifier: MacBookAir5,2
Macintosh HD:

1&2: Rebuild the Spotlight database: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support. Reindex the entire volume.
Thirdly, what is "Backups" and where can I find it, I would gladly remove some.
I recommend you don't. Read why: About Time Machine local snapshots - Apple Support
Forth, (I checked) my user home folder only uses about 120GB, where does the rest come from?
Everything else, for example, Applications, System, and other users' Home folders, if they exist.
Fifth, isn't there supposed to be a column for "available" in the chart.
No. It will just indicate "free" as yours does.
For more information read OS X: What is "other" space in About This Mac? - Apple Support
"Other" includes everything that is not audio, movies, photos, apps, or backups. It includes downloads, work products such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, Mail messages and their attachments, and OS X itself.

Converting Movie for use on iPod

I bought a movie on iTunes the other day. The movie plays fine on my computer and on the AppleTV. But it will not sync to my iPod Touch or iPhone.
When I tried to convert the Movie by using File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version. I only got an error message: Error occured while converting the file "<Movie Name>". an unknown error occurred (-4).
Any suggestion on the meaning of the error and how to correct it?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

Photostream storage use

I am a bit confused about Photostream and storage use. Have search the communities, just to find out that there are a lot of different answers. I have also search Apple Support without any success, so here I go:
Photostream on OS X:
The photos i Photostream are stored in iCloud. I have to save them or transfer them into iPhoto, before they use any storage?
Photostream on AppleTV:
Just stream, they will never be downloaded or use any storage? They still be in iCloud?
iOS:
Photos in Photostream use storage on my device, if I choose to look at them or using others shared Photostream?
If this i true, why the difference between storage use on the different devices?
(I am aware of, that photos taken on my iOS use storage in the Camera Roll, but if the pictures are transferred from another camera into my OS X, they still be appering in Photostream on my iOS)
I really appriciate an answer, preferably with a source.
Best Regards

Hi randers4
thank you for your replay
1. "OS X: Photo stream photos are streamed to iPhoto. They can automatically be imported to your iPhoto library by checking Automatic Import in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream."
Demands that you choose to do so.
2. "Apple TV: Photo stream photos only stream to your Apple TV as it lacks internal storage to store photos. They remain in iCloud for 30 days."
Yes, I understand that, but why can you stream from Apple TV, without downloading, and are forced to download on your iOS-device?
I´m sorry if I wasn´t clear in my question:
Why does Photostream on a iOS-device use storage automaticly, if OS X and Apple TV doesn't?
Best Regards

HT3951 I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards. Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits? I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well. I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

Thank you. So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card. Is that correct?
It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up. Is that also correct?
You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

Sharepoint 2013 copy/move operation using Content and Structure fails

Hi,
We had a recent upgrade from SP2010 to SP2013 environment. After the migration, we realized that the
copy/move operations using Manage content and structure(sitemanager.aspx) is not working as expected, neither does this give any error nor is it stuck. In fact if I check the content and structure log I find the message as
succeeded but file/item is not copied to the target.
The strange thing is that if I am performing this operation with Full Control permission level it
does not work but if I do the operation as Site collection admin it works without problem. I know if sub-sites are to moved then one should be site col admin but in this case I am trying to move just documents or pages.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Vineet,
According to your description, my understanding is that copy/move operation using Content and Structure cannot work in SharePoint.
I recommend to check if there are any custom fields in the source list/library and target list/library. If yes, delete the custom fields to see if the issue still occurs.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/56d803d7-8573-4c29-9f6b-c63023941f44/manage-content-and-structure-cannot-move-or-copy-items?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
To copy or move files/items between sites, we need to have
appropriate permissions on both sites.
I recommend to check if the user has full control on both sites.
Best regards.
Thanks

How Do I Add 2nd Monitor using AppleTV?

I use a mid - 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5.
1. I would like to know how to connect my SONY TV as a second monitor wirelessly using AppleTV.
2. Once 2nd monitor is connected:
3. What do I do to use the cursor and keyboard on the 2nd monitor?
4. How do I reply to an answered question for more info, or to thank someone?

Hey again Angel,
It is the latter:
If your Mac supports AirPlay Mirroring, an AirPlay Mirroring status icon appears in the menu bar when an Apple TV is on the same network as your Mac.
OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
So the AirPlay icon will only be seen on your Mac when an Apple TV is present on the same network as your Mac. You may also be interested in more information about AirPlay, which can be found here:

Trying to delete my Contacts Storage using Clear Data button however it's Unavailable

Just recently upgraded to a Droid Razr (been a long time blackberry user) and really just beginning to understand some of the features. During the initial setup I didn't handle my contacts the way I would have preferred and would like to start over. From what I can decipher, I should be able to go to Settings>Applications>Storage Use> and then chose "Contacts Storage" to completely delete my contacts via the "Clear Data" button.
However, the "Clear Data" button is grayed out and unavailable. I've tried using "Force Stop" thinking that if this application currently had the data in an open state then that might be why is was unavailable. However, it doesn't appear that "Force Stop" ever actually stops the application and it certainly doesn't allow me to chose "Clear Data" afterwards.
Does anyone know how I could either make the "Clear Data" button available or another method to completely remove my contacts?
Some other info that might be helpful:
Hardware: Droid Razr
Android Version: 2.3.6
Data Size: 31.29MB
I do not want to "root" my phone at this time. If I were going to make a wild guess, I think it could be related to Backup Assistant (same idea that if an application has locked the data, it's not read/writable). However, I don't see any way in the phone to disable Backup Assistant to test this theory. Furthermore, I have disabled sync with all other contact services (facebook, linkedin, etc.) so if I can ever delete my contacts... the deletion won't propogate to my original sources.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Take a look at these instructions i Found And you might be able to Get Rid of them by Tapping on the Contacts up on Top then hitting your settings and Tap Manage Contacts that might give you the option there to get Rid of them. You could Export them to your SD CARD Then once in there Format the Card. But a word of Caution if you have an Pictures or Songs in there they will be Wiped as Well..
