New apple tv worth upgrade

I own the original Apple TV and am wondering if there is anything about the new one that makes it worth upgrading?

You have to look at them as different products with different purposes. If you fully used all the features of ATV1, then you would miss some things. If you only used the streaming functions of ATV1, then ATV2 is a very positive upgrade.
I have both. Had the ATV1 for a couple of years. I liked the ATV1 except for lacking Netflix and the VERY slow interface speed.
ATV2 is very quick, small, silent, and runs cool.
Having both an ATV1 and ATV2, I must admit that I am disappointed that the ATV2 cannot access the library on the ATV1, nor can the ATV1 stream to the ATV2 as an AirPlay Speaker. Seems like an oversight.
So the only way to play your iTunes library or photos over ATV2 is you MUST have a Mac/PC turned on at all times. When I pack up my Laptop and head to the office, my house, spouse and kids have no access to our family music library. Unless I hook up the ATV1 to the same main stereo system as the ATV2. Need both. ;-(

Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud? In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id. I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe!

New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

HT3209 I got a new apple tv 3 how do upgrade my video content to 1080p

I got a new apple tv 3 how do upgrade my video content to 1080p for the orginal purchased version at 720p?
Cheers,
Michael

Yopu can stream it on the AppleTV from the internet under Movies > Purchased (or Purchases? I can never remember which!) which will bypass what's in iTunes provided AppleTV is configured in Settings for iTunes store for 1080p.
If you want a copy in iTunes, then go to Preferences and change download preference to 1080p. Then delete the 720p copy and redownload from the cloud (iTunes home page icon > Purchased link on the right). If you delete the 720p copy and it goes to trash or recycle bin, you can fish it out of there and add to iTunes later if you need a 720p version too (or SD if that gets trashed with the 720p copy).
Note - currently you cannot upgrade SD purchases to HD. Even for an upgarde fee.

Transfer Mountain Lion upgrade, purchase to new Apple ID

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro using my old Apple ID. Now I have a new Apple ID and want to transfer my purchase. Is this possible, and if so, how?

The license for any OS purchased at the app store is tied forever to the Apple ID used to purchase it - if you want to download it on another computer, you will need to use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it. That cannot be changed.
You can also purchase it again with a new Apple ID......

HT2513 After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

Before you panic, try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

If you want 1080, you will need to purchase the new Apple TV.

My pro notebook was stolen. i have CS3, can i upgrade this to new new apple notebook?

my pro notebook was stolen. i have CS3, can i upgrade this to CS6 on a new new apple notebook?

Please refer : http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgradeinfo.html
and selct the product you wish to upgrade and check.

I understand there may be a new Apple TV coming out in 2014. Hopefully this could be a game changer in our lives and not just a product upgrade. I also understand that Apple does not except unsolicited ideas and suggestions for new products.

This is totally reasonable. That being said, understanding this is neither a "suggestion" nor an "idea", I was wondering how great it would be if the new Apple TV would have built in Radio Frequency control capability for all HT products. Comcast has RF control with it's new x1 box but it does not work with other components like a DVR, AV Receiver or other HT devices. Logitech offers remotes that one has to program with all the codes per individual manufacturer but this still requires an RF base station and external blasters.
                If the Apple had a relationship with the different audio/video manufacturers so that one could simply use an Apple TV remote ( or optionally use ipad, iPhone, MAC ) to control everything HT, then this simplicity would capture a huge audience in a big way!! Of course..........this is not a suggestion or an idea :-).

You can submit feature requests to Apple customer service.

No idea what you mean by HT devices, but it is unlikely Apple would release a product to support 3rd party devices. On top of which changing the ATV remote to be RF instead of IR would break all the existing remotes that are able to work with ATV. And would be MUCH more expensitve.
Comcast has RF control with it's new x1
Only becasue they HAVE to because they only provide one actual cable box, with other dumb box termtinals.   So remotes have to be able to work in other rooms since they all have to connect to the real cable box.
but it does not work with other components like a DVR, AV Receiver or other HT devices.
Right, since once you switch to RF you break compatablity with all the other IR devices out there which is pretty much 99% of them.
                If the Apple had a relationship with the different audio/video manufacturers so
Apples whole business model is locking out other manufatures.

ICloud is putting my mom's contacts on my phone since we have the same apple id. Should I make a new apple id just for Icloud?

I want to be able to update all my stuff to icloud, but I don't want my mom's stuff constantly syncing with my phone too. If i make a new account, will that change what account i use in itunes and the apple store?? would I be able to have two accounts? or can you have two different users per icloud?
because what are they supposed to do if a family shares an apple id?

We upgraded my Mom's iPhone 3Gs (New Bootroom) to iOS 5 and connected My dad's Apple iD to my Mom's iPhone. My Mom and Dad's contact lists merged. Then today, when my mom was at work. She started deleting my Dad's business contacts from her phone, thinking that it would just be deleted off her phone. But, they were deleted off of my Mom's iPhone 3gs. My dad's iPad 2, iPhone 4, Intel iMac and his Windows Work computer. My dad is very frustrated. I am wondering if there is any way to do the stuff below, Please help we lost 100 contacts that are very important business contacts.
I am wanting to get the missing contacts back and then seperate the contacts list and then creating my mom another Apple id and add her contacts to her new apple ID and then have so my Dad's Apple iD has his iPad 2, iPhone 4, iMac and his Windows Work Computer and my mom's Apple iD have her iPhone 3Gs (New Bootroom) with both contacts lists seperated.
