Need help with Apple TV connected to a Bose system

I have a new Apple TV that I have installed with a Bose Lifestyle 28 home theater system connected by an optical cable. The TV is also connected to a Directv box with the Directv box being connected to the Bose system via an Optical cable. I get Dolby 5.1 when watching the Directv but when I put a movie from Netflix on the Apple TV, I get a message on the Bose: PCM 2.0. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I don't get Dolby 5.1 on this setup?

DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

Hi
I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long. In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
and any emails I compose dont work. I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
Look forward to a solution soon
Thanks

Hi Angela
Thanks for your message
To answer your questions, please note the following
a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
b) I am the only other user on the account
c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows connection as "established"
e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment? Can you pls explain
Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account. So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions. The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results. I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
been resolved.
Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
Thanks
Mahesh

Need help with Apple TV + Airport Express setup

I am newbie to this whole Apple thing. Just switched from Windows world (20+ years of torture) to MacBook Pro about 6 months ago. Loving every minute of it.
Here's what I currently have...
I have a 4000+ sq.ft. home with 3 levels on a 1-acre lot. I have 5 zones for music/movies - 7.1 dedicated Home Theater (lower level), 5.1 HT system for casual TV watching in Family Room, 2.1 system (music only) in my Home Office, 2.1 system (music only) in my Master Bedroom, 5.1 HTiB in Kids Bedroom. All systems have dedicated AVRs/Speakers/Subs (Denon, Harmon Kardon, Yamaha, Polk, Energy, Klipsch etc.).
I have 2 MacBook Pros and 2 Windows Laptops. I have AirportExtreme running a wireless network throughout the house. I have NAS attached to AE. I use iTunes to manage all my media content. I also have a iPhone 3G.
I have ripped all my CDs in Apple Lossless format into iTunes. I listen to free internet radio stations (NO Napster, Raphsody or other subscription-based services). Sometimes watch/listen free video/audio podcasts. I do NOT rent or buy movies/music via iTunes or any other source (just buy old-fashioned CDs/DVDs when neeeded).
Here's what I want to accomplish...
1. Ability to "wirelessly" stream media to any or all zones.
2. Central, easy to use controller for all systems.
3. Should be able to accomplish this functionality without having to keep PC/Mac running.
Ques 1: I have considered Sonos option, but it can't do video content. So, I guess my options are Apple TV + 5 Airport Expresses. Is that correct? Will I be able to accomplish my goal with this setup? Anything I need to be aware of, e.g, network connectivity/slowdown issues, system reliability issues, ease-of-use etc.?
Ques 2: One of the major benefits of Sonos system is the ability to play different music in different zones. From what I understand, this is NOT possible with AppleTV + AirportExpress + iTunes setup. Is that correct?
What if I have iTunes running on 2 separate laptops. Can one laptop play it's own playlist via AirExp-1 and the other laptop play a different playlist via AirExp-2 & AirExp-3? Is this possible? If yes, then I guess this may "simulate" the zoning effect of Sonos (albeit thru 2 separate controllers; but it works for my needs).
Ques 3: I have a MobileMe account to keep my MBP and iPhone in sync. I have lot of Photo Albums in MobileMe Gallery and also in iPhoto on my MBP. How can this me viewed via AppleTV? Would I have to move my iPhoto from MBP to AppleTV HDD?
Ques 4: Currently my iTunes library resides on my MBP. Is there any benefit of putting it on AppleTV HDD?
Ques 5: Can AppleTV HDD be used as backup drive for Time Machine. Currently, I have no choice but to buy Apple Time Capsule to use as wireless backup drive for my MBP; I can't use my NAS for this purpose (From what I've read on forums, I think Apple removed this functionality).
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

>and Verizon Fios w/ 50mg upload and 25 mg download.
Your internet connection is not relevant this is all runnig across your home network.
>- I want to be able to backup all of my photos, movies and music
Time Machine on MacOS will will already take care of this for you.
>- I want to store all of my movies on a separate devise that wont clog up my mac book pro
So put then do that. You said you have two external drives. (As long as they both have network support) Put the content on one of them and make the other one the back up.
> (ideally I would like a wireless connection)
While technically possible not a great idea. Streaming video over WiFi is usally problemattic and so are large scale data set backups.
>- I want to be able to watch those stored movies through ATV (via itunes)
Only going to work when your Mac is on with iTunes running, but can be done.

I need help with Apple iCloud verification. I don't have the email and I can't figure out how to get Apple to send me a new one.

So, in order to back up my music and stuff to the cloud I need to verify my Apple ID and I don't have the verification e-mail. If someone out there could help me out by telling me how to get Apple to send another one, or if they can, I would appreciate it alot. Thank you!!!!!

Need help with Apple Store stock

Hi there!!
I'll be on a business travel to NY in one month and i'm planning to buy a 15" MBP 2.0 with the Anti-Glare display.
Probably i'll be buying it on the 5th avenue store, and now i have two choices.
I'm travelling from Spain, so getting the Western Spanish keyboard is almost mandatory.
The two choices i've got are:
1.- I've read the store can swap the keyboard in 1-2 days if needed. So, this would be a great choice not to have any problems with the credit card and the billing address. But i'd need to know if they have computers in the store with the specs (anti-glare) so i can go and buy it on the fly (asking them for a keyboard swapping)
Does anyone know (or has the chance to know) if they stock the 15" MBP with the Anti-Glare option in any apple store?
2.- I'll be staying 4-5 days in Florida prior to flying to NY, so i thought of customizing and ordering it throught the Online Apple Store, paying with an apple gift card and have it shipped to my hotel. The apple store states that it will take 6-7 days to have it delivered, so i guess i would be in time before i come back (the trip will take 11 days).
What do you suggest?
Is anyone able to help me and check if i could find it with the anti-glare option in the apple store in the 5th avenue?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!!!

Thanks " a brody". I know about the spanish customs and about the sales tax in different states.
The only thing that makes me "nervous" is that i get there and they don't have an anti-glare computer in stock. I've read on several threads that they usually have the anti-glare option in stock in the stores, but just wanted to double check.
I'm travelling a lot lately from one country to another, so calling is a bit difficult because of time differences.
Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Need help with Thin JDBC connecting Oracle to SQL server.

I am fairly new to JAVA. We have ORACLE 8.1.7 running on Solaris 8. I have a need to
periodically extract data from ORACLE DB and transfer it to SQL Server. I am limited to
moving data from the ORACLE/UNIX environment to SQL Server side.
From what I have read, Server-side Thin driver should work.
1) Are there any issues in trying to achieve this with ORACLE running on the UNIX platform?
2) Will the Server-side Thin driver talk to both the DBs ?
3) Is it possible to provide some sample code ?
Thanks in advance,
Solomon

Quattro,
I had complete success in reading from Oracle and writing to SQL Server. First of all let me thank you for all your help. I do have one last request. Its more on optimization than any thing else.
I was trying to optimize my code by grouping both the connections in one place and to keep my reads and inserts together so that I don't commit at the end of each insert etc. I don't seem to have the scope rules under control yet. Could you suggest how to improve this:
import java.sql.*;
public class Test_Combined2 {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Connect to the database
// You must put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
// You can use either the fully specified SQL*net syntax or a short cut
// syntax as <host>:<port>:<sid>. The example uses the short cut syntax.
Connection con2 = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Test:1521:PSDEVElOP",
"SOLOMON","SOL1");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt2 = con2.createStatement ();
String url = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://INTRADEV:1433;DatabaseName=Measure";
Connection con;
String query = "select dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate from tblYield " ;
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.print(e.getMessage());
// Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
ResultSet rset = stmt2.executeQuery ("select year_start, monthofyear, percent_comp " +
" from ps_usm_ytd_yield ");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ()) {
System.out.println (rset.getFloat (3));
int ps_dataYear = rset.getInt(1);
int ps_dataMonth = rset.getInt(2);
float ps_yieldRate = rset.getFloat(3);
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "tmpuser","tmppush");
stmt = con.createStatement();
PreparedStatement insertTblYield;
String insertString = "insert into tblYield " +
" values(?, ?, ?)";
//con.setAutoCommit(false);
insertTblYield = con.prepareStatement(insertString);
insertTblYield.setInt(1, ps_dataYear);
insertTblYield.setInt(2, ps_dataMonth);
insertTblYield.setFloat(3, ps_yieldRate);
insertTblYield.executeUpdate();
con.commit();
//con.setAutoCommit(false);
/*ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
System.out.println("dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate");
while (rs.next()) {
int dataYear = rs.getInt(1);
int dataMonth = rs.getInt(2);

Need help with Apple ID login for iCloud/MobileMe to move Calendar.

Despite the multiple warnings from Apple that MobileMe would be shutting down on June 30 & that I needed to migrate my "stuff," I didn't realize that my iCal calendar on my Mac & iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) was through my MobileMe account (@me.com login) and not my "main" Apple ID account (which is a Gmail login), so I didn't bother doing anything to migrate my "stuff" because I hardly ever used my MobileMe account, or so I thought. That said, my life revolves around my iCal calendar-- can't live without it! Two days ago I started getting a pop-up message on my Mac that says "iCal can’t log in to your “[email protected]” account because your password may be incorrect." It was while I went through Preferences to fix this that I realized my MobileMe account was the master one for iCal! I know that my password was correct, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that MobileMe is now shut down that caused the pop-up in the first place. Meanwhile, my calendars are not syncing between my devices, which is something I'd like to resolve ASAP!
I'd like to push everything over to iCloud, but I noticed that for some (dumb) reason, I used my MobileMe account login for iCloud as well! Is there any way to merge or replace my MobileMe account with my Gmail Apple ID account so that my iCloud is no longer tied to MobileMe, since that program is now defunct? If not, at the very least, any help you could provide on how to transfer my calendar to the Cloud would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Nevermind. Figured out the answer myself! Just had to dig a little deeper into the Apple Support Community than I had before I posted!

Need help with foscam cameras connecting to AirPort Extreme N

Greetings,
I could really use some help from the AirPort gurus! I have an AirPort Extreme N base station, with firmware 7.4.2. I purchased a couple of Foscam FI8908W pan and tilt cameras. I am trying to get them to work on my home network, but cannot figure it out. Personally I think it might have something to do with port forwarding, but hec I just don't know. I have tried searching for answers, but came up empty. Here is a copy of the manual for anyone if interested <http://idisk.mac.com/wheelchairguy-Public>. I have been using VMware with XP to try and setup the camera, but the camera is not found with the IP Cam setup software. I thought I might be able to directly connect to my computer with an Ethernet cable, but no go there either. Also no go with an ethernet cable plugged to the camera into the base station. I just have no idea where or what I am doing wrong. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi OneCog,
We're also have broadband connected to TimeWarner. When I first got the camera I tried the same thing and had the same problem. I never read the docs and assume plug and play.

Need Help with apple Id pop ups

How can i stop apple id from popping up with others people email addresses? It's showing three others emails. Idk how or why, Please Help.

Need help with Apple Mail POP Google App Settings

I am using Google Apps Account for the domain name xyz.travel
I have set-up POP Account on Apple Mail for my Email address [email protected] with the Google Mail settings of POP and SMTP correctly. No Problem.
However, in my Email Address [email protected] there are 3000+ Emails which is more than 3 years old. I do not want all these Emails to be uploaded on my Apple Mailbox. It will take ages for all these 3000+ Emails to be uploaded in my Apple Mailbox. I only want to be able to send Emails from the Apple Mailbox and receive the Emails that I received on [email protected] henceforth.
Can someone please help me ?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Need help with Apple Display 20" going black

There support and mac comrades,
I was wondering if anyone has this following problem and had it fixed.
I am currently using double 20" Apple display on a Mac Pro, and suddenly one of the screen start to turn black and get back to normal after few seconds. A week later, the screen goes totally black and won't turn on anymore. However, after shutting down the computer and removing and re-pluging all cables, the screen comes back alive for couple hours. In the beginning I taught that it was the cables so I swap the cable of the two screens around but the same screen is having the same problem. Then I start to think that it is because of the graphic cards, so I tried on another Power G5 and same problem occur after couple hours.
Now I know, that this screen is defect and not caused by cables or graphic cards, is there any troubleshooting for this kind of problem?
Please help!
Sincerly,
Jean

The display is brighter in the upper half then the lower one.
This indicates the lower back light is out, or a component called an inverter has failed, or a connector to these things has failed, and the short/short/long flashing power button is a signal telling you that. There is no way to stop the flashing unless you fix the failed component.
I do not recommend attempting fixing this problem yourself. Inverters can have relatively high voltage and could be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
