My Favorite Thing About the New Apple TV

....is that it only streams movies from your computer, so you can't watch them because it takes 20 mins to start a 45 minute kids show. That's plenty of time for the child to have a fit and move on to something else. I don't have to watch Elmo anymore. It's great!
Your favorite thing?

ah thank you. it seems to work fine networking 2 laptops and a desktop and backing up all 3 on the the time capsule. we also have 2 iphones and an ipad using the same network without issues. the only thing that doesn't work properly (as i have found out in this thread) is the apple tv.
Are the other devices using the network continually the same time potentially reducing streaming bandwidth?
Can you run an ethernet cable between the streaming computer and AppleTV to see if that solves it for testing purposes?
What signal strength do you have for wi-fi on AppleTV (Settings menus)?
What kind of wireless network is it? b,g,n? single/dual band?
Have you rebooted AppleTV?
If wireless range is the issue and you can't run ethernet consider some powerline networking units like these:

  • What is your favorite thing about your new MacBook?

    I have yet to receive my MacBook and was wondering what everyones favorite thing about the system was? The screen? A specific software title included? The overall design of the system? What do you think, be as specific as you' like...
    Apple Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Sony Vaio - Windows XP Media Center

    The macbook is my 6th mac laptop. I like the magnetic power supply and magnetic closing. The built-in cam is great and it's wonderful to have a remote to use with music or presentations. I thought I would be unhappy with the glossy screen but I ordered anyway. I was totally wrong, the screen is very bright, unlike other gloss laptop screens I've sceen on Dell models. I was suprised when I was able to use it outside and still see everything clearly. My powerbook 17s' screen disappered when you stepped outside.
    What I don't like is that the keyboard isn't illuminated. Especially since my model is black.. And no firewire 800 port, come on! Would it hurt to put a 128mb graphics card in too? The only other thing I don't like is the fact that I had to send mine back for a replacement. Weird harware issues DOA..

  • I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

    I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

    The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
    For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
    I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
    I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

  • About The New Apple iTunes 11

    I Updated Apple iTunes to Apple iTunes 11 & I Have 1 Small Problem Every time I Open Apple iTunes it goes to My Music Library instead of the Apple iTunes Store, is there a way where I Can Open up Apple iTunes & it can open up to the Apple iTunes Store ?
    whenever someone finds out about how to Fix that problem then you can Reply here, No Rush i can wait & also i tried going into the settings but still no luck just let me know if anyone has a sulotion to that problem or maybe Apple iTunes needs to be Updated 1 more time maybe?
    I also Find Apple iTunes 11 iTunes Store Page cut in half, it only shows half the iTunes Store Page but i'm sure Apple will fix it, have some patience.
    other then that The New Apple iTunes 11 is Fantastic Awesome just 2 things need to be fixed then it will be Perfect.
    Have a Happy Holiday's & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

    Hi Byron,
    I just updated myself and it seems that the library is the default behavior. I checked all the preference settings and couldn't find anything on that. But it's not that difficult - all you need to do is click on the store button in the far right corner of the little toolbar/upper window bar. I didn't have only half a page in the store - have you tried to just enlarge the window by dragging in the corner - then quit iTunes and launch it again to see if it shows a whole page now.

  • Two questions about the new Apple TVs optical output

    Question #1: Does the new Apple TV output audio out of BOTH the HDMI and optical outputs at the same time? I have my Apple TV connected to my TV by HDMI, but I'd also like to connect it to my stereo separately for times when I only want to use Apple TV as airplay speakers.
    Question #2: Is this the best option for converting Apple TV's optical output to a stereo that lacks an optical input? All I want is a stereo signal.
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2

    I'm posting a follow-up here, in case anyone else is considering this optical to analog converter. I bought the one from monoprice I linked to above. I've only had it for a day, but it's exactly what I was looking for.
    I've now got two simultaneous outputs from my Apple TV:
    - HDMI audio/video connected to my TV, which feeds one input in my stereo.
    - Optical audio output connected to the monoprice converter, which feeds another input in my stereo.
    This makes for a great setup, giving me the ability to listen to streaming audio without using my TV.
    So... to answer my own questions:
    #1 - yes, Apple TV feeds both outputs at the same time (HDMI audio/video and optical audio). There is nothing to 'switch' or set up.
    #2 - yes, that monoprice converter is probably the best option for converting optical to analog. It's relatively cheap (under $30). It's very small. And it works perfectly.

  • Question about the new apple ipod headphones

    Apple is selling a new set of apple branded earbud headphones on their website, which are supposed to replace the old ipod headphones.
    I want to know if the jacks on the new headphones are shaped the same as the jacks on the old headphones.
    I have an ipod case that will only accept headphone jacks that are the same shape as the original ipod headphones, and I want to buy new headphones.
    So does anyone have the new headphones? Can you tell me if the jack is straight like the old headphones?

    The Apple TV 2 can be programmed to turn itself off after 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 5 hours, 10 hours or even never.
    Prior to writing this e-mail I tested Airplay from iTunes to the Apple TV*. I played a single song (3 minutes) through Airplay and after 15 minutes of inactivity the Apple TV turned itself off.
    *Prior to streaming music or accessing other content you have to turn Apple TV on with the provided bluetooth remote. This is a major inconvenience when your Apple TV is several rooms away. Apple needs to enable wake-on-lan support.

    No, once you install iOS 7 that is it.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • The very best thing about the retina display

    Do you know what is the best thing about the retina display? the answer is they've solved the issue of the dead and stuck pixels thing you know how because the pixels are very very small so u can't see if it's working or not some day you will walking around holding your new ipad and you don't even know the plenty pixels that are dead and you can't notice them HAHAHA that was a good one LOVE YA APPLE.

    I doubt that's the reason Apple spent the money on retina displays, but a good observation. 

  • My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID

    My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID   Just got an iPad air 2 so my iCloud and family sharing is with the one that's disabled. Which I don't know how to switch to my new one, so I trying to erase my apps that won't load and just re download them with my new ID that is being used with the iTunes n app store but I can't even find most in purchased plus it's saying that I can't get it cuz that ID is not with family sharing but I donT know why it would not be. Please someone help.

    OOk so I have my new Apple id in my iTunes account but my old Apple ID is the one that is in the iCloud account which is the Apple ID have been using for years and the reason I cannot get it on this abled is because somebody was using my credit card or debit card that was on file for family sharing and it was a stolen iPhone from my account so they had to disable my Apple ID and I could not use my debit card anymore on any Apple ID ever again they said because of it so I can't get it not to be disabled and I can't sign into iTunes with it I already have signed out and signed in with my new Apple ID for iTunes it's just iCloud is not letting me load anything so pretty much what I've been doing is I have to erase every app and then re-dumb going to iTunes and re-download the apps again but the only issue is that I still have a disabled Apple ID as my iCloud settings and my iCloud family sharing in all of that so I'm wondering how or is it possible to change my Apple ID for iCloud specifically because when I go into Icloud and settings and go into my name where my Apple ID is the one that's disabled it doesn't say anything about log out or sign out or anything like that it just says to put the password for it so is there a way to change the Apple ID for my iCloud so that my iTunes in my iCloud is the same Apple ID?
