On my apple tv it says "to access iTunes library, turn on home sharing. I've done this and my home sharing is turned on my computer, but there are no computers being listed under the computer option on my apple tv? How do I connect them?
Does anyone know how to get homesharing working right? I have it on my computer and it shows that it is sharing, but on my apple tv it says that it is not working when I look under the computer tabs...?
You mention doing all of the above, what would that be exactly?
The article linked above is for airplay, have you checked home sharing tips?

I just bought an imac in september 2012. And i just find out that my microphone is not working. So i did an apple hardware test and with no problems found? I have sound but no one can hear me, not even the computer. Should i bring it back to the store
Before you go through that trouble open About this Mac > More Info... > System Report > Audio and see if the system actually knows it has a microphone. Then you can look into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and see if the microphone is there, select it and make sure the sliders are set to full. Then in System Preferences look for Sound > Input and make sure it shows up there and the sliders are at least half way up. If none of that works do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
then go through the process of looking for the microphone again as the reset may reenable the mic. -
Hello! I use the VSCO preset that was easy to download and use right away a few months ago. This morning I did the same thing and it downloaded successfully but none of the presets are listed under the new VSCO folder I bought. How can I fix this? Does Lightroom have a limit on presets?

When using my iMac the screen turned blue and so I turned the compute off. When I turn on again power does get to the computer but there are no chimes and the screen remains black. Any advise please. David
Hello DJJOC,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where your iMac's screen will not illuminate, please reset your SMC by following the information outlined below.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

my phone has been losing calls and according to the apple store i need to reset it due to a software fault - i have done this and still have the same problems. how do i reset the phone without reinstalling the soft ware fault by way of icloud backup
Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

I purchased my MacBook Air from US in December 2013, my company paid for it, so it got listed under their account earlier. So I asked them to remove it from there account and then I added it back to my profile in January 2014. Then it was listed under My Products tab in the My Support Profile page. Later I bought Apple Care Protection Plan for this MBA, and registered that plan with my MBA's serial number and soon after that, MBA vanished from My Products. I thought it might take some time for it to get listed back again after adding the protection plan, but it didn't appeared for quite a long time and so now I am opening this support ticket.
Now whenever I try to add my MBA again by clicking Register New Product, I am getting "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID?" How can I get my MBA back into my profile?AppleCare does not cover accidental damage, but try taking it to an Apple Store and see what they say!

FF3 used to have a drop down list of the most recent pages that a tab had displayed under the back arrow button. FF4 does not appear to have this. How can I see history of what's been displayed in the tab say four or five pages back?
You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker -
I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
What do I do now?Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
# plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
# plugin.blocklisted.java: True
# plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
You will have to update Flash to make it work.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

I followed the instructions to import my favorites from Explorer, but there is no Explorer file under the Bookmarks tab. How do I get my favorites imported?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

PLEASE HELP - I have stupidly deleted the apple application support off my computer, and I am unable to launch my Itunes..It advises me to download itunes again, however i am TERRIFIED to do so because I have over 5,000 songs in my Library and no doubt my entire collection will inevitably be wiped.PLEASE HELP..I am almost in tears. I have attempted searching google for "Apple Application" Support downloads however it directs me to the apple website, and to no avail I cannot find anything to aid me...any responses would be greatly appreciated..!!!!!!!!!!
Reinstall iTunes from Apple's website. Reinstalling iTunes does not wipe your library, but you should have a backup regardless.

I'm having a tough time working within mail... it slows as I type in contacts...The letters appear as if I am typing really slowly! When I look at the accounts listed in iCloud it appears the accounts are perserverating (listing additional accounts without my involvement!!) The iMac I am using has Mountain Lion with the most recent updates. I welcome any suggestions! Thanks
Thanks so very much... it took a while to delete all of the iCloud account duplicates. And I had to go through the process a couple of times but it seems to be working much better. One of the problems was while I was connected to the WiFi it kept trying to process all of the data for all of the accounts. So I disconnected the WiFi and deleted many that way! Thanks again!

What should I do?
Those instructions are somewhat out of date. There is no WPFe.plugin. Even these instructions are out of date.
There seems to be two of these "how do I remove and update silverlight" threads going on at the same time. Here's a link to the other one.
I was recommending the same thing over there as here with the same lack of results. So I'll repeat here my last post in that thread not knowing at the time I am writing this whether that suggestion will work:
I only have one idea left. After that you need to do some google searching on "uninstalling os x silverlight". Apparently this has caused problems for a number of folks.
Remove the following two installer receipts:
/private/var/db/receipts/com.microsoft.installSilverlightPlugin.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.microsoft.installSilverlightPlugin.plist
/private/var may be invisible on your system so use the Finder's Go To Folder and type (or copy/paste) /private/var/db/receipts/ and click the Go button.
