My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
Reset the power on the device
- issue continue?
Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
- issue continue?
Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
- issue continue?
You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

HT4059 Can books be shared with other family members devices?

Can books be shared with other family members devices?

If you mean books purchased through iBooks, no. I beleive B&N offers that feature, but only on a VERY limited number of titles.

Why has Apple moved Dock controls from the Apple menu?

So I took the plunge and installed Yosemite. And then hunted for the oh-so-simple control to move the dock from one location to another, as I connected my MBP to a monitor. But where's it gone!! No "Dock" in the Apple menu - panic!! Then I find it in preferences. But why oh why Apple? It was a mouse-hold and single click to move or resize the Dock; now it's Open Prefs, select the dock prefs, then select the position, size etc I want. That's 3 clicks, with lots of mouse movement, instead of one. And this is meant to be progress!
Why?
And can I revert to having this control in the Apple menu?
Thanks

tbirdvet, surely that's an intrusive and irrelevant question! It's what I want to do, the system should allow me to do it quickly and easily, as it has done in the past.
But if you really must know, it's because sometimes I'm on my laptop, sometimes I'm on laptop + monitor and they look different, are differently configured and so on.

TS4006 Can I use find my phone to find other family members devices if they have separate Apple ID

Can I use my find my phone on my iphone or iPad to find other family members I phones if they have their own apple id's etc?

If they have Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone enabled on their phones and you know the id that it's linked to and the account's password then you can use the Find My iPhone app on another device to try and locate them.

Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible. The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time. If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
Can somebody else confirm this could be done?
My case # with Apple is: 668372718

Good day,

Just tested this. You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase. You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

I have an iPad mini iphone 5 and have just bought an Apple TV can I get the Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa have been trying with no success my phone and iPad connect fine please help.

Can't get my Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa but it connects fine with iPhone iPad mini etc

Bluetooth in the AppleTV is for connecting to Bluetooth keyboards, and also for Airplay device discovery only.
Unless your sofa supports Airplay (unlikely) or has a bluetooth keyboard, your AppleTV won't be able to connect to it.

Bought iworks family via download. Apple told me to copy onto usb and then i could transfer to other family members. However, when gragged off usb onto desktop it will not work. Checked system requirments and everything fine. anyone know what the problem

Hi. Bought iwork family as a download rather than on DVD. Want to transfer to other macs in household. Apple told me to transfer to USB stick and then put on other macs. Doesn't work and get message saying "keynote cannot be opened due to a problem". Same problem for .pages and .numbers. I have reinstallled but same problem. Have checked system requirements and everything seems fine.Any one have any ideas how to solve this. Thanks

I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

Can't access the "Apple" icon in upper main menu to shutdown my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8! Also can't open a new finder window and main menus such as File and Edit are sluggish to open or don't open at all. Doesn't happen each time I attempt to shutdow

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

A lost my remote control for apple tv. I want to use my phone as a remote but the applications can' pair with the Apple TV device , how can I pair them without remote?

A lost my remote control for apple tv. I want to use my phone as a remote but the applications can' pair with the Apple TV device , how can I pair them without remote?

Setup for remote app: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1947
Specifically:
Set up Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation)
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu.
Select General > Remotes > Remote App. If Home Sharing isn't set up on your Apple TV, you should turn it on.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) uses Home Sharing to stream content from your iTunes library on your computer to your HDTV. If you connect your Apple TV to your iTunes library using Home Sharing, you can use Remote to browse and play content from any iTunes library in the Computers section of your Apple TV. You can also use Remote to select between available speakers to enhance your audio and video experience.

. You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

Unfortunately, since an unauthorized party opened it, Apple won't have anything to do with it at all. It's not eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?
