My Apple TV icon won't appear on 2012 IMac. Both my Macbook Air and my Iphone can find and play on my tv. It is a 2nd gen Apple TV, has worked before, what am I missing?

I've turned on sharing in Itunes.

Hello steppenwiener,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your Apple TV connecting with your iMac. It sounds like you are not seeing the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your iMac. I recommend the following steps:
Resolution
Try these steps first:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
iTunes for Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates
iTunes for Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices' software is up to date.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are connected to the same home network.
Note: Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a guest network that can block certain Internet services from working or seeing other devices on your home network.
If the AirPlay icon doesn’t appear in iTunes
Ensure that you followed these steps to use AirPlay in iTunes.If the AirPlay icon still doesn't appear, try one of the following steps:
If you want to AirPlay to an Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the Apple TV. From the Apple TV main menu, go to Settings > AirPlay. This should be set to On.
If you want to AirPlay to an Airport Express, ensure that AirPlay is enabled in the device settings.
If you want to AirPlay to a 3rd party AirPlay-enabled device, refer to the user guide.

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Soccerdm,
a direct download of Adobe Reader X 10.1.4 (which seems to be the most recent standalone version that runs on Mac OS X 10.5.8) is here.

My new iPod touch won't let me view my pictures. It lets me open the app but then crashes when I try to open an album. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while but nothing has worked. What can I do?

My new 4th generation iPod touch won't let me view my pictures.. It lets me get into the app but when I try to look at an album it crashes. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while and nothing has worked. What do I do?

- Try restoring the iPod from backup
- Next restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

It sounds like you might have accidently copied Chess over from an Intel Mac, or an Intel Mac's installer DVD. The architecture typically means it is designed uniquely for either Intel or PowerPC. Be sure to extract Chess from the 10.5 Retail installer disc that looks like * and not any other disk. http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist lets you extract individual applications from installers without having to reinstall everything.

No sound on windows 7 ultimate, but it has worked before!

Hi, I'm using a macbook air OS X Mountaint Lion (10.X.X <- not sure about those numbers since I'm on the windows 7 atm) and I've tried to install windows 7 ultimate(32-bit) a couple of times, and the very few first times it did work, installing it, and getting the sound and internet, everything working.
But when I realized I didn't have enough space and had to re-do it, I removed windows 7 again and re-installed it, this happend a couple of times because I needed 50gb, but ended up having about 45 everytime I finished installing windows 7.
And for some reason I just couldn't open set-up.exe anymore through my USB with the boot camp support software in it. Note, it did work before, but after a few re-installations, whenever I try to open the set-up.exe this is what shows up : This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.
I mean it has worked before, I did exactly like all the other times, but I did notice one change from the first times and to the times where errors started occuring. It was that when I'm installing windows, I get to choose between windows 7, basic, and all the other ones, including windows 7 ultimate. But the very first times I installed windows it automatically chose Windows 7 Ultimate, I couldn't chose which one I wanted.
I've tried to install boot camp support softwares through apple's website on the download page, I've tried 4 different and only one, almost worked. I could open the set-up halfway and and then somehow I couldn't install anything, so I decided to try and open all the maps and install the softwares manually, which provided me with internet atleast, some worked some did not work such as Nvidia. But I need the sound! Help me?
Sincerely Kenny

You may want to edit your name from screen shots in the future.
On W7, you have a higher version (6.30.223.215) of the 802.11n driver compared to what I have on W8.1 (5.106.199.1).

Can you check the USB that you built with BC Assistant or manually from Bootcamp downloads to see what you have?
For my model, using System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support, I get Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621.

Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

I recently purchased a shutter release remote for my IPAD camera but the cord is only three feet long and I need an extension cord. I purchased a 3 banded AV extension but it doesn't work. I have been told that I need an extension cord that has AV and Mic to enable the remote shutter release to work with the extension cord. Can anyone tell me what the correct extension cable is and where I can find one? Thanks.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

My computer is saying that I am not in the US and so I am unable to view shows, Youtube, etc. I've gone under the location settings and put US several times but nothing has worked. What should I do?

My computer is saying that I am not in the US and so I am unable to view shows, Youtube, etc. I've gone under the location settings and put US several times but nothing has worked. What should I do?

It may not be your computer telling you this, it is probably the company providing the shows to you over the Internet. If that is the case, no setting on your computer can change it because the media company is going by your network address (IP address), which is where your Internet modem (cable or DSL) connects to the outside Internet. If the location of your Internet connection appears to be outside the US (even if it is mistake), media companies that distribute shows under contracts with geographical restrictions may lock you out.
If you use a service like a VPN service, you may have the ability to use IP addresses from other countries so that you can appear to be connecting from there. But it takes some setting up.

iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment
Apple accepts different payment methods in different countries.
follow the steps listed in the link to see, it may not let you use a debit card.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV? Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel. Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!

the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

Hi Swampxiix,
How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

i connected my laptop to the tv and it has worked before. this time only the laptop flashes the blue screen and the tv is saying no signal. when i tried to check the dispaly arrangement it says this:The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer.

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Unable to import from my video camera even though it has worked before

I have used my Sony MiniDV Digital Handycam many times over the past few months to import the footage from my DV tapes into my computer. However, my iMovie HD suddenly decided one day that it didn't want to recognise my camera anymore, no matter how many times I restart the programme and the computer.
It's not a problem with the firewire because I tried it with another camera and it worked. I don't remember changing any settings on my camera. Plus, even though the camera is over 5 years old, it shouldn't be a problem of compatibility since it has worked before.
I have no idea how to fix this problem. Please help!

Welcome to the discussions.
There are a few things to try here:

Does the camera work on another Mac?
