NEW APP-TV Out controll Widget

Set the aspect ratio and scaling of the N900's TV out.
This desktop applet allows you to control different parameters of the N900's TV out (enable/disable, PAL/NTSC, aspect ratio and scaling factor) that are not available in the Control Panel.
Features of the plugin that are not available in the control panel:
Aspect ratio control - switch between 4:3 and 16:9
Scale control - scale the display to fill the TV screen area, or make it smaller.
to install:
open xterm
sudo gainroot
apt-get install maemo-tvout-control

From what I understand one thing that this little device can do is push video and audio from other devices such as iPod touch, iPhone and iPad running a later version of iOS (4.2?). This is called AirPlay and was originally called AirTunes. I am assuming it can also be done from iTunes 10. If this is the case then I don't have to have a computer connected to the TV. With the new AppleTV I could just sit with my MacBook Pro and tell iTunes to display a movie or TV show on the TV, or I could do it from my iPhone.
This is the feature that is seriously different from the previous Apple TV. It only allowed you to push audio.
You can also pull by getting the AppleTV to stream from a computer. This functionality was in the original AppleTV. I don't know if the new device will pull from iOS devices, probably not.
If someone already has a computer, a $99 device that has these features is quite an interesting option. A Mac Mini setup is great, but it is a lot more expensive.

  • Repeat of January Upgrade Problems coming with new apps?

    hey everyone,
    i have been talking to a few of you about losing the january upgrade after an OS restore and an ipod restore, if you are unsure about this there are a few threads in this forum that talk about it. do you guys think that the same thing will happen when the new apps come out (fingers crossed). If we have to pay for them, will they be stored on our hard drives in a hidden file somewhere waiting to be wiped with an OS restore like the january upgrade?? what do you guys think??

    The apps are easy to locate:
    The file is located here:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

  • How do I install a new app from my PC w/out sync'g other apps on my Touch?

    Problem: How do I manually control what gets sync'd from PC to iPod Touch?
    Bkgrnd: I do NOT autosync becuz I have a lot of music files on the iPod that aren't on this computer and I don't want the music overwritten by the empty PC music library.
    Detail: I downloaded an app to iTunes Library on my PC and it shows up on the Apps Tab in the iPod Touch Device Folder. The "Apps" tab screen is divided into 2 areas: on the left is a gray'd out section with the words *"Sync Apps"* at the top along with and an UNCHECKED box. The new app is listed below that with another box that is UNCHECKED. The area to the right shows all the current apps are mail and note apps with data I don't want to lose.
    When I click the *"Sync Apps"* I get a warning: *_"+Are u sure you want to sync apps? All existing app and their data on the iPod Touch will be replaced with apps from this iTunes Library."_*+ I'm afraid if I click "Sync Apps" that I'll lose my music. Soooo... how do I control what gets sync'd? Is there a way to back up my music on to this PC just to make sure I won't lose it?

    You can, and should, back up your data to your PC.
    1)Connect your ipod, select it, and right click. Select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer over any Apps or Music you purchased from the iTunes store.
    2)Also, while right clicked, select Back up. You will want this back up when you sync your ipod with your new computer so you can restore from your backup. See [About Backups|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766] to learn what's included in a backup, but note that it does not include the items in step 2. Note: *Any music not purchased from the iTunes store will not be backed up* It is assumed that since you were able to sync and put this on your ipod, it resides on your computer already. Again, check the link above to see what is backed up.
    3)To sync, select your device in iTunes. If you want to exclude music from you sync, on the Summary tab check Manually manage music and videos under Options. The go to the Apps tab and select the Apps you want to sync.
    If you have never sync'd with this computer before it will warn you that it's going to wipe out your data. That's because an ipod can only be synced to one library. No way around that. It sounds like that's what's happening.
    If you have all the iTune store purchases made on your touch transferred to your computer (step 1), your ipod backed up (step 2) and all other data such as music from CD's, photos, etc in your iTunes library you should be fine. It will want to remove your data to sync with this library but you can [restore from the backup|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414] (see link for more info on how) you made in step 2 and then sync your music etc after that. But if this is the last computer you've sync'd with you shouldn't have to do that.
    Hope that helps.

  • New App store interface tabs greyed out sometimes..

    Since the new app store look came out, often I see the tabs but they are unresponsive and I have to close app store and reopen it to be able to click on Updates for instance. Anyone else see this?

    I think that it might be related to DNS and having multiple network connections...
    I encountered the problem for the first time yesterday on a new 2013 iMac whilst I was having problems with Xcode not being able to connect to a version control server (which has worked fine until yesterday).
    The only things that have changed recently are that I have switched off a local DNS server (using OSX server) and that I enabled wifi to perform an air drop.
    Yesterday the suggestion to disable/re-enable wifi didn't solve the problem, and today now that the icons are back working again and switching wifi on/off has no effect.

  • When I download a new app from the App Store it does not show up on my home screen but I can find it in my settings but out from it says no data

    When I download a new app from App Store and press open when it's complete, it won't do anything, and when I look on my home screens it's nowhere to be found but if I go to settings and look under icloud and usage, I can find them but out from it says no data. I have tried deleting them and reinstalling but that's no working either... Please help me.. Thank you very much:)

    Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
    Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again.

  • Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

    I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

    I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5.  All still work just fine.
    You may be the exception.

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

  • When is the new photo app coming out

    when is the new photo app coming out? I have iPhoto, will it be wise to quit using it?

    Apple did not yet state a release date, only "early this year". 
    I have iPhoto, will it be wise to quit using it?
    Why should you? Both, Photos and iPhoto, also Aperture can coexist peacefully.
    Keep organizing your photos in iPhoto, while giving Photos a trial run. And when you are sure that Photos is what you want migrate your iphoto Libraries. But you may still want to use iPhoto for editing or adding Places to photos and similar.
    So keep it installed.

  • ??? Regarding new apps that will be coming out

    I've read on here several times that the release for new apps. will be coming out in Feb. I was checking out the apple website under download, I noticed a link for new apps for iphone/touch. There is a bunch of things that are avble. But since I have never checked out the download section before, I'm not sure if any of this is new or worth putting on my touch. Just looking for opinions. Thanks

    Yes, but it all depends on what you like. I think that the Weather Bug app. is the best out there because I think it is is necessary to always know the weather(http://www.apple.com/webapps/weather/weatherbug.html).
