New AppleTV is announced today

"You'll be able to re-download movies you've purchased on any device, and movies and TV shows now support 1080p."
"Supports 1080p with a "streamlined new user interface."
movies now from iTunes in the cloud - great!

According to a blog site I just read:
"Owners of the second-generation Apple TV will be able to access the new user interface with a free software update scheduled to become available today. 1080p video playback will remain exclusive to the new Apple TV."
I would not be surprised.
May or may not be a good thing.
The A4 is powerful enough to handle a slightly different GUI arrangement, let's just hope it doesn't bring a size overhead that will diminish memory resources used for other things.
I couldn't see anything obvious on the new AppleTV page earlier, but they do tend to mention software updates there if there's one available when a big interface change takes place.
Both run iOS and should be able to support the new software unlike the old AppleTV 1.

Bought 17" Macbook Pro 2.8 Core 2 Duo on Monday, new MBP's out today!!

Hi
Hoping for some consumer advice here... I am a mac user for over 15 years but on Monday, I had a day off work and after looking at getting a new 17" Macbook Pro for well over a year to replace my dieing 15" version, I bit the bullet, and was at first happy with my purchase.
Then, obviously the i5 version is announced today - I am not pleased and contacting 'Cancom' Apple reseller here in Edinburgh and they said 'they didn't know new ones were due' and that 'that's just the nature of buying computers'. No Sorry, no sympathy, nothing. I can't return it as I opened the packaging and booted up the machine, which breaks the license agreement.
Ironically, Cancom's company strapline is 'The Apple Mac Specialists'.
I am really unhappy about this whole thing... the staff member was a patronising so and so when I called earlier which didn't help. I've contacted Cancom Customer Services about the matter but I wondered if anyone had any good advice or had been through any similar situations?
Cheers in advance

Thanks guys, yeah I normally use Apple.com/uk site to buy but it was handy for me on Monday during a day off and wasn't necessarily 'rash' as I have been considering it for almost two years! (my 15" MBP is running on one fan, at 90degrees!)
As far as not knowing about the cycle of upgrading the MBP's - I'm normally pretty clever with my research but for some reason I had in the back of my head, that Apple had brought out 3 new MPB's (all sizes) around 2 months ago!! I swear I'd seen them announced in a newsletter because I remember clicking through from my email client and looking at the specs online!
hmm, bit of a nightmare all this all in all. ta for the words though.

The "New" AppleTV?

When Steve Jobs announced the "new" AppleTV last Tuesday, is it just a new update to the software for the AppleTV or is it a completely different model from the older ones? I'm just wondering since the Apple Store states that it is "new", I just notice that it has "802.11n Wi-Fi wireless". Is all the AppleTV 802.11n?

I meant to say that the current version uses 802.11n as will the update.

I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread. Yet I have read all the emails. Still the iPhone thinks they are unread. Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

How to make 3rd gen ipod touch a remote for new appleTV

I have a 3rd generation ipod touch that is updated to iOS 5.1.1 and want to know if I can use that as a remote for my new appleTV?

Yes. you need this app
https://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8
Since the app now requires iOS 7, try downloading a compatible version by:
If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

How can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
This is the cable I see at Amazon

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...

I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxesleft column ( I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail

I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxes in the far left column. I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail. Any suggestions for steps I can take short of going to genius bar?

However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

Netflix Streaming Problem with new AppleTV 1080

Hi there,
I have had a AppleTV 2 720 for two years. It has been working perfectly with Netflix. I have a new AppleTV 1080 and the streaming from Netflix is awful. The picture drops definition and the audio goes out of sync and sometimes it just comes up with an error message. I have BT Infinity (30+mbps) and never have any issues streaming from Netflix via two or three devices at any one time. I have searched forums with no solution. I have tried lowering from 1080 to 720 on AppleTV, (kind of negates the purchase of a 1080 device though, eh), restarted and restored the AppleTV, logged out and into Netflix. The super HD picture when working is great but not sure if AppleTV 1080 is suited to Netflix. Surely I can't be the only sufferer here, please help! Thank you....

I found this hidden away on the forum:
This is what worked for me. It was posted by BenFinklea so he deserves the credit. Since I've done these steps I've had no streaming issues. I agree that it's an Apple issue and not a Netfix one. All my other devices on and off the same network stream just fine. To test this I even bought a Roku LT which I love, especially for the money and it streamed flawlessly. I perfer the format of my Apple TV so I was glad to have it operational again! Good luck.
Use Google’s Public DNS Server To Fix Apple TV Streaming Problems
1. Navigate to Settings >> General >> Network and select Configure TCP/IP.
2. Select “Manually” next to Configure IP.
3. Dont change the IP address or the Subnet Mask and Router Address. Just click "Done".
4. Set the DNS Address screen with the following: 008.008.008.008 and click “Done.”
You should now be able to stream Netflix on your Apple TV.
I moved the Apple TV unit away from other electronics and rebooted the router/BT Hub and restarted Apple TV. I did the fix as above and it seems to be ok. Will update soon! Thanks Winston....

Any problem leaving my MacBook on all the time for the new AppleTV?

I now have two new AppleTVs, both of which Home Share with my one MacBook.
Home Sharing only works when my MacBook is powered up and iTunes is running.
Questions are...
Is there a problem with leaving my MacBook plugged in and turned on all the time? Battery health?
Is there any way to make iTunes Home Sharing work with the cover closed?
Suggestions?

I'll clarify my questions. I am using my MacBook the same way you would use a home computer, like a MacPro or a MacMini. I have it hooked to a home TV and I use a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad to operate it. It just sits next to the TV like cable box does.
Issue #1) My MacBook is plugged in and turned on all the time, 24/7. This is not a problem for a MacPro or MacMini since neither one has a battery, so my first questions are: Will this destroy the battery's ability to maintain a charge when I do occasionally use my MacBook as a portable? Also, could this be a fire hazard since laptop batteries tend to get warm?
Issue #2) With the cover closed, the MacBook continues to operate as long as it is receiving periodic input from the keyboard or trackpad. However, once the TV that it is connected to is turned off, the MacBook goes to sleep since it's no longer hooked to a display, either it's own (cover closed) or the TV monitor (turned off). Next question is: Is there any way to keep this MacBook and iTunes operating in this condition (turned on, but cover closed and TV monitor off) so that I can continue to HomeShare with the other AppleTVs in the house?
