My Apple TV 2 is working great but-

I really want to add some radio stations to it. Apparently, the list of stations that comes up is on an Apple server and is static.
But I question this because on my list of stations is an obscure radio station that I had found on my own and that I had never seen on Apple's station list in iTunes before. But it was on the Apple TV station list.
I wonder if that station was harvested from my iMac when I first connected the Apple TV 2 to the network, played some iTunes music, and the other stations were already on the default list?
Also, one of the NPR stations near me does broadcast for Mac in one of the formats. But it does (did) not show up.
Finally, I have to say that the one thing Apple is not succeeding at compared to Roku is variety of content. I wish Apple would open up Apple TV 2 in the way it has for App developers on iPad/iPhone for new content. Basically, this is what Roku has done. A Roku is more like an iPhone (in a way) for new Channels (what Roku calls its apps) and Apple TV 2 is, well, kind of like a Nokia (using the same metaphor in reverse)!
Apple - please add more variety and let people develop more chanels for Apple TV 2! You can police them just like apps and, indeed, I want you too for relibility, interface, and technical compliance.
BTW: Roku has many more channels than in its channel store. There are "private" channels too, which one can subscribe to. But the reliable ones are in the channel store.

The only solution (and the cheapest) for adding unsupported radio stations to an Apple TV 2 is to use a smart phone/iPhone or pad with TuneIn radio or get a Roku with TuneIn radio.
That app has a far larger selection of radio stations.
But I wish Apple would expand the radio stations on the TV 2 and/or let the user load any kind of station on to a list - no matter the format. Or add TuneIn to Apple TV.

    I have tried several ways to transfer my itunes library and Playlists to a new computer. I get the music library but not the playlists. Can you advise?
    2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

    I used the location app to find my daughters ipod with my ipad mini.  App worked great, but now I can't use my ipad, can't get rid of the alerte "ipod located".  Now what do I do

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • I bought a iphone 4s of ebay it works great but i want to use the passcode but can't because he can't remember what he put it as

    i bought an iphone 4s of ebay and it works great but i went to set up a passcode but the person who had it before has put one on there and he can't remember what it is, is there anyway of resetting it

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • My printer works great but I keep getting error messages from HP Solutions Center

    I'm using an HP Officejet J6480 All in One Printer on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine.  The printer works great but I kept getting error messages from the HP Solutions Center every 15 seconds that popped up making it impossible to do work on my laptop so I uninstalled the Solutions Center to try to fix the problem.  Now the printer won't print. Is there a way to re-install the Solutions Center and get rid of the pop up error messages?

    hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
    please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).
    in order to update java, go to java.com (or if you don't need the plugin you can also uninstall it though the windows control panel)

    I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

    "Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
    But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

    My G5 PowerPC still works great, but what is the latest OS that is possible.  I just bought a new HP Printer and it is not compatible with OS 10.4.  Is there any hope?

    A PPC G5 cannot run any version of OS X beyond Leopard 10.5.8.
    You should be able to find a Leopard retail (black) install disk on eBay. A grey update disk is machine specific and won't work.
