My TV has one Hdmi output. Can I use a splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR

Can I use an hdmi splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR? If yes, Any suggestions on a good splitter that doesn't cost too much ($40 at most).

I would get an HDMI switcher and plug in the ATV directly
I just posted this as an example, not sure of your location.

We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
Help!

No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

My TV has only 2 HDMI conections that are all ready in use for Directv and the Blueray. Can I use composed cables to conect Apple TV

My TV has only 2 HDMI conections that are all ready in use for Directv and the Blueray. Can I use composed cables to conect Apple TV

I'm going to take a guess and say that if your TV has 2 HDMI ports, it also has a component input (5 wire). I'm also going to guess that either your DirecTv or your Blueray has a component output option. If I had this setup, I would put my DTV on the component option and use the open HDMI port for the ATV2.
I doubt you will be able to tell the difference on your DTV. Most of the stores that demo HD use component wiring on their store models. The only downside is that you may be giving up the highest sound (Dobly 5.1 or whatever they call it.)
Or you could just go to switching the HDMI cords from your BluRay to the ATV2 depending on which one you are watching. I think I use my BluRay about 5% or less of my viewing time. If I "tossed", I wouldn't shed a tear.

How do you hook up apple TV when existing TV has one HDMI already in use for satellite

My TV has one HDMI outlet. Its being used to hook up to my satellite box. When I unplug, I lose picture. I thought I could may be hook Apple TV into satellite box, but that also only has one HDMI outlet. Does anyone know how to hook up Apple TV with this set up? TV is a Sony KDF-50WE655 and I think is about 8 yrs old. Satellite box is DirecTV HD DVR (not sure which model).
Just bought my Apple TV, so think it is Apple TV3.
Appreciate any help anyone can provide, thanks!

My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?

i have the new macbook pro 13 in and i want to connect aguitar as input and output on an amp but i have only one audio port

You can't use the jack as an input and output simultaneously. The solution is to look for a USB or Firewire interface to get your guitar sound into the computer.

There is no Apple presence here.

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Use the same Apple ID for everything.

The computer I use for Itunes only has XP so I can't use ICloud. My desktop has Vista so I can use it. But I don't want to lose all of what I have on my Iphone 4S and my two Ipads. How can I use the desktop and retain the apps, music, podcasts etc. I have

The computer I use for Itunes (my laptop) only has XP so I can't use ICloud:(
I have a desktop that operates using with Vista.
I downloaded 10.5 and sought to sync my two iphones and two ipads with the desktop in order to use ICloud. However I got warning messages that if I synced with this computer that had none of my extensive library of apps, music, podcasts, etc. would be on it, I would lose it all.
I did authorize the computer. I knew enough to do that but am terrified that I will lose everything that I have accumulated and still won't be able to use ICloud.
Isn't there a way to do this? Shift my library FROM my devices to the desktop?
Thanks

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

Yes you can!

If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.
