Position of Apple TV

I'm very restricted for space where I want to place an Apple TV
Does anyone know whether it will work on its side rather than being flat?

Should be fine. Just make sure the remote can see the IR reciever which is roughly central on the front edge of the unit.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in my iTunes devices list

    Hey, I tried to post this question an hour ago but apparently my crappy 2.16 GHz intel 2 core duo iMac with 3 GB, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM can't handle anything else while it is pointing out in iMovie '09 that none of my HD video is stable enough to take advantage of the stabilization feature.
    Anyway, here's my second attempt at seeking assistance for the most pressing of the many complications I am faced with as a Mac user.
    I can no longer see my Apple TV in the list of devices in iTunes on my iMac. This happened after I downloaded the most recent software update for my Apple TV, and after my step-father-in-law hooked me up with a home entertainment system. I have noted below with "CHECK!" the tasks I have performed in my attempts to maintain a love affair with Apple:
    Verify that you have the latest version of iTunes installed. CHECK!
    Verify that you have the latest version of Apple TV software installed. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is powered and properly connected to your television and you can navigate the Apple TV interface. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is properly connected to your network and the network is properly configured. When configuring Apple TV, if you do not see your wireless network, exit the selection screen by pressing the Menu button then go back in and the software will rescan. DUMB THIS ONE DOWN, APPLE. HOW DO I VERIFY APPLE TV IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO MY NETWORK? WHY NOT SAY, "CHECK THAT APPLE TV SHOWS UP IN THE iTUNES DEVICES LIST" AS A TROUBLESHOOTING OPTION WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT THEIR PROBLEM IS THAT THEIR APPLE TV DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THEIR iTUNES DEVICES LIST". THAT'D BE HELPFUL.
    Verify network connectivity on Apple TV by playing a movie trailer in Movies > Trailers. CHECK (BUT *** IS THAT "BIG MAN JAPAN" MOVIE TRAILER ABOUT?)
    Verify that the computer you are using can access the iTunes Store. CHECK!
    If you're using Apple TV in a school or office environment, make sure Apple TV is on the same network segment as your computer (check with your network administrator) or else iTunes won't see Apple TV. NOT APPLICABLE
    For more information on how to properly set up your Apple TV, see the Apple TV Users Guide. UH, I BOUGHT THIS THING 1.5 YEARS AGO. DO I NEED TO REALLY GO BACK TO THAT?
    Restart iTunes (Quit or Exit and then reopen iTunes). CHECK!
    Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes OH THANKS. THIS IS GOOD ADVICE. *** DO YOU MEAN BY RECONNECT APPLE TV TO iTunes?
    If that doesn't address the issue, then:
    Reset HOW?
    Restart your computer. CHECK!
    Rejoin network (wireless) and/or Restart your network router ***? HOW? WHERE TO I CLICK?
    Reinstall iTunes OH SNAP! I'LL DO THAT IF NOBODY HAS ANY BETTER ADVICE.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), click here for information on configuring Firewall. SHOOTSKIE, I WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WEBSITE TO CLICK THAT LINK.
    For Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier, make sure UDP port 5353 (Bonjour) is open on your firewall. If you use Windows Firewall, follow the steps here. SHOOTSKIE, AGAIN, NEED TO GO TO WEBSITE TO CLICK LINK, BUT I AM HOOKED UP THROUGH A WIRED CONNECTION DO I STILL NEED THIS STUPID PORT STUFF?
    Otherwise, if you use other firewall software or hardware, check the software documentation on how to open UDP port 5353. IT IS SO COMPLETELY, RIDICULOUSLY LAME THAT "OPEN UP UDP PORT 5353" EVEN NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING MUSIC FROM YOUR COMPUTER ONTO YOUR TV."
    If you use Windows, try disabling services and startup items that may be conflicting. UHH, WHY WOULD I EVER HAVE WINDOWS? I SPEND 10-12 HOURS A DAY ON WINDOWS AT WORK, CRASHING MAYBE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I SPEND 30-60 MINS A DAY ON MY iMAC, CRASHING 1-2 TIMES A DAY. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WINDOWS ***** TOO. TECHNOLOGY *****. PERIOD.

    Hi everyone. I am typing here on my brand new 24-inch iMac. So far it's great! However, the issue I had with the Apple TV is unrelated to the iMac itself, and I wanted to let everyone know what the solution was to my Apple TV issue.
    Until early this Sunday morning when I discovered this solution, my iMac would not sync with the Apple TV. This problem began after the most recent Apple TV software update. I neglected to mention in my previous posts that my Apple TV was connected to the Internet via an Ethernet connection.
    Prior to the most recent software update, I believe that my Apple TV communicated wirelessly with my iMac and via an Ethernet connection to the iTunes store. With the latest Apple TV update, the sync between the iMac and the Apple TV does not work if the Apple TV is connected to the Ethernet. My solution was as follows:
    1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Do not reconnect.
    2. Restore Apple TV to the factory settings. I'm not in front of my Apple TV at the moment but navigating through the Apple TV menu to reset the settings was fairly straightforward for me.
    3. After resetting the factory settings and following the instructions, I was able to see the Apple TV in my computer's iTunes, but I was stuck with the super old software version from summer '07 when I bought this thing (i.e. before you could rent movies or watch anything in HD on the Apple TV).
    4. Look for the software update on the Apple TV (again, fairly intuitive by navigating the menu on your TV) and download/install the latest update.
    5. If your problem was due to having your Apple TV connected to the Ethernet, I think this should do the trick! It should now show up on your computer's iMac and it should automatically start syncing your iTunes content although I did have to direct it to sync my photos.
    p.s. Does anyone know how I can let Apple know that this issue exists with the latest Apple TV update? The guys at the Genius Bar at the mall I went to in Pleasanton, CA couldn't find any notes in their knowledge database about issues with the latest Apple TV software update and I think it's important that Apple knows about this.
    p.s.s. I think Apple should make all of us, their consumers, more aware of how to let Apple know about these issues because this issue was so frustrating and throughout the whole troubleshooting process I felt very helpless and would have felt so much more positive about Apple if I just had a forum in which I could let Apple know I was having this issue (above and beyond this user forum through which I ended up losing much of my iTunes album artwork after following one person’s advice).
    So if that forum exists, please let me know and let's brainstorm as to how to get more people like me to be aware of that forum so other people don't experience the same frustrations I have experienced.
    p.s.s.s. I haven't tried reconnecting my Apple TV to the Ethernet in my home. While it will probably be slower to rent and download movies wirelessly, I don't care that much as I'm thinking I will start renting movies through Netflix instead and just use the Apple TV to watch my homemade videos on my TV.
    But I am curious, why does Apple charge so frickin' much to rent a movie on the Apple TV? $4.99 for an HD movie? Everyone who has NetFlix tells me it is sooooo much cheaper and very easy to use. And to be honest, this makes me mad. Not that there is a cheaper option for renting movies/TV shows. That makes me happy. What makes me mad is that Apple charges so much to rent a movie when it doesn’t benefit them and it doesn’t benefit me. I think Apple does a lot of good things, but I think being able to rent (or even better, to subscribe to) media that you can watch (almost) instantaneously in your home is the wave of the future and still relatively new. If Apple wants to make money off of this service in the long term, they need to start by offering movies for super cheap, even taking a loss off the price they pay the production companies if they have to, because right now it's still all about adoption (i.e. getting as many people as Apple possibly can to think about renting a movie or *please please* a TV show through Apple ).
    So I guess I feel like it's a lose-lose for Apple and me. Through Apple, to rent a movie (or *please please* a TV show) I will pay much more than I would with Netflix. But if Apple can walk away with an untarnished reputation after creating a special headphone input into their original iPhone device to make extra money out of nothing, then maybe they can do no wrong and we just need to keep blindly giving them our moolah? Can somebody please let me know how I could get a better job or at least a raise so that I can give Apple all of the money they are trying to squeeze out of me?
    p.s.s.s.s. I am soooo sorry Apple, but the other day when I was at your store looking for the Firewire adaptor I needed to transfer files from my Firewire 400 on my old iMac to my new iMac via the Firewire 800 adaptor, I just couldn’t stomach the huge markup. I imagine you guys make a ton of money by ridiculously marking up your accessories over what one could pay elsewhere.
    I know the rest of your consumers are happy to pay $50 for buying the cable in your store and I would like to apologize right now for using your in-store computers to search for the alternative pricing which I found for $19.99. I don’t believe any of your other customers saw me doing this, but if they did, please accept my sincere apologies. In the current economic environment, reputation is everything and it would be unfortunate for all of us if the Apple masses felt they were being taken advantage of.
    Wow, I think I’ve got some issues with Apple that I need to work out. Anyone know a good therapist?

  • Unable to Sign In to iTunes from apple tv (1st Gen). GRRRRR!!!!

    Two days ago I was searching for movies to rent. So I casually went on to the Apple TV to browse all the HD movies. The #1 movie was Iron Man 2 (I watched the preview), #2 was Get Him to The Greek. I decided to opt for the comedy and rented Get Him to The Greek right from my Apple TV. I watched it and all was right with the world.
    The next night I decided that I'd rent Iron Man 2 (wife's out of town). So I go into the Apple TV to get it since I knew that it was the #1 top rental the previous night was Iron Man 2. Much to my surprise, Iron Man 2 was nowhere to be found in the iTunes store on the Apple TV. Not further down the top rentals list. Not in the alphabetical listing of all movies, not even in the search. "Well that's bizarre," I said to myself. "I wonder if I can find it in the regular iTunes store on my Mac Pro?" Well sure enough, iRon Man 2 was there. So I rented it on the Mac Pro. Curiously, it didn't show up on my Apple TV. I waited and waited. So I went back to iTunes and, oh silly me, I have to put it there in the iTunes sync dialog and then sync the Apple TV. I did that, and since it was late, I went to bed.
    Today, I finally got the kids to bed and cleaned up and decided to watch my rented Iron Man 2. Fire up the Apple TV, see that Iron Man 2 is right there at the front of the listed movies on my Apple TV. Sweet. Select, select play, settle in with a nice drink and ....
    Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.
    What the?!?!
    Hrm. That's weird. Well let me double check that I can play Toy Story (a movie I had downloaded and watched with my boy a while back). Yup, Toy Story works all right. So I decided to futz around a bit to see if I could figure out *** is wrong. Over to the settings list, hmm, maybe I should try the "Downloads" option? Click. Okay it says "Check for Downloads." Sure why not. Click. Enter your Apple ID. Yeah okay. Now enter your password. Done. And...
    Unable to Sign In.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.
    What? Oh silly me, I must have made a mistake and entered the wrong email address or password. I'll just do it again, I'm sure it'll work this time. And...
    Unable to Sign In.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.
    Um. Okay, third time's the charm. First let's go into iTunes on my Mac to make sure that I really am entering the right information. Yup, exactly what I thought I entered on the Apple TV. So back to the Apple TV to enter the username (and triple checking it) and the password (carefully inspecting each character as I do it). Still no luck.
    Well I guess I'll look up this error online. I found an Apple Support document that indicates there is a problem with aol.com email addresses to log onto iTunes from the Apple TV. That shouldn't be it, I'm using a gmail.com address. Then I found an Apple Discussions link from 2008 where people were flustered by this issue. A few had gotten their Apple TVs to work again by unplugging the Apple TV and deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer the Apple TV is sync'd to, plugging the apple TV back in and syncing the Apple TV back to the computer.
    I gave that the old college try. I came back to try the Apple TV and still got that Iron Man 2 was not authorized on the Apple TV. I thought I'd try Toy Story just to make sure that it still worked. Now that movie said the Apple TV was not authorized to play that movie.
    I'm going backwards! Things that were working now aren't and I've spent my entire night trying to figure this crap out. Someone please help me make this "just work" so I don't have to go and smash it to pieces with a baseball bat. My stats as of right now:
    1) I can't log into my iTunes account from anywhere it asks for it on the Apple TV. I've tried settings>downloads, settings>general>itunes store, settings>general>network>test network.
    2) I can't log into my YouTube account. I've triple checked that my information is correct.
    3) I can't play any movies purchased through iTunes even if they were purchased from my Apple TV.
    4) I CAN play music and a music video that I purchased on my Apple TV and music I purchased from my Mac.
    5) I can play a TV season that I purchased some time ago on the Apple TV.
    6) I can log into my account in iTunes from both of my Macs.
    Oh also to get the easy questions out of the way: 1) Yes I'm 100% certain that I entered my username and password correctly. 2) I am completely up to date with my iTunes software on the Mac and my Apple TV software (as far as I can tell).
    I'm trying to stay calm and keep things light. But holy crap this is frustrating. I spent good money on the movies that I can't watch. I wasted hours and hours of my time troubleshooting and researching only to find myself going backwards and losing the ability to play things that I once had no problems playing. This just isn't working and I wasted my whole night on it. Someone please help!

    I cannot help you other than to say I have exactly the same problem and have been trying to resolve it for over an hour now with no luck.
    Besides unplugging and replugging in my ATV I have also tried:
    - resetting my password to the same thing
    - resetting my password to something else
    - creating a new Apple ID and trying to use it
    None of this works.
    At this point I am guessing that Apple's servers are hosed and the error message is just incorrect. Hopefully they will fix the problem at their end over the weekend.
    And yes. Holy crap this is frustrating is putting it mildly.
    It amazes me that just a few hours ago I was playing with FaceTime and thinking very positively of Apple, but now I'm just ****** at what is clearly a screw up on their part.

  • Apple mail OS 10.9

    After buying a new 2014 27in iMac with OS 10.9.1 and migrating data from the old iMac,5.running OS 10.6.
    After waking, Mail will not connect and WiFi although connected is 'looking for networks'. Close Mail or close WiFi and reopen usually works. Not great.
    Haven't tried other email apps but may have to check. Is it because of the migrated data or are new iMacs with no old data on them having the same problem.
    Migration does not work according to the apple guides - it took over an hour with an advvanced support guy trying usb, firewire, wireless etc to finally get a working link up - instructions should be re-written to save apple staff time. Case: 185089398.  Also have 'remote disc' under 'shared' ever since.
    The new iMac with the fastest chip and much cleaner, with less data etc., is slower to open apps, respond etc., than my wife's 2009 iMac now also upgraded to 10.9.1, any ideas?
    P.S. New swipe mouse will be replaced a.s.a.p.for general use and for graphics, great idea but is a horror for L and R clicks, naturally at an angle under the hand so gestures that work on a tablet don't work with a mouse in this position. Apple still the best but could do with a good quality assurance system.

    Hello Jessvech,
    It sounds like you are not seeing emails that were downloaded before the Mavericks upgrade. I suggest reindexing the emails in your Inbox with the following article:
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If Mail detects problems with information in your mailboxes, it may need to repair the mailboxes by reindexing your messages.
    At other times, you may want to reindex messages yourself—for example, when searching mailboxes using Subject, To, or From doesn’t return the correct results.
    Quit Mail if it’s open.
    In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Can I set the position of the new mail window?

    Each time I compose a new message, the new message window seems to appear at a different place, usually obscuring the main window. I would like to have it always appear to the side of the main window. Can I set this, perhaps in the property list?

    Perhaps something is corrupt that is causing bad behavior for some users and so my comments are unhelpful, but here's some more data to add to this discussion: My Mail.app behaves as George Coghill described above, subsequent message windows open where the previous window was open.
    For example- Close all Mail.app windows so that only the main "Message Viewer" window is open (basically, don't have any emails that you're in the middle of drafting open).  Open a new message, adjust the position as you wish, then close it.  When you open another new message, does it have the same position as the one you just adjusted?  It should.
    However, for me, sometimes it would be off by a few pixels as Thomas A Reed described above.  I realized that this was because I had another compose window open in the background.  So as you troubleshoot, make sure no other compose windows are open, to remove one complication and help isolate the issue.
    Side note: in cases where the original window's height fully extended across the display, the new window would be shifted over to the right only, but not down at all as some apps do (like Mac Word, annoyingly).  Another note: if you maximize the original window, subsequent windows also open maximized and unshifted.
    A corollary to the paragraph immediately above is that if you open say 3 new windows, the second one will be shifted and the third one will be even more shifted.  Let's say you send all 3, and now open a new window, it has the position of the 3rd window.  Annoying.  Yes, it would be nice if it always opened new windows in the exact same position, but Apple likely won't do this since people will get confused and think they lost the window if it doesn't do the shifting.  I guess the take-away is draft one message at a time or maximize your composition windows, otherwise it's going to move :/
    A band-aid solution: When a window isn't positioned how you like it, a quick/simple way to reposition it is with apps like Moom (my favorite), Cinch, Divvy, SizeUp, etc.  While I'm at it I should mention RightZoom, which makes the green zoom button behave like the Windows maximize button, and Cordless Dog Stay, which is great if you connect/disconnect your laptop to a screen causing the window positions to always get disturbed between displays.

  • Can't pair Apple Remote and MacBook Pro + Answer

    I had an issue pairing my Apple Remote with my MacBook Pro.
    The Apple manual says (on page 36):
    To pair your Apple Remote with your MacBook Pro:
    1 Position the Apple Remote 3 to 4 inches from the IR receiver on your MacBook Pro.
    2 Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the Apple Remote for 5 seconds.
    After trying and failing several times to pair my remote using these instructions I gave up. While it could be a bit annoying not to have the remote paired it was not a significant enough issue to prompt me to send the notebook in for repair.
    After a few days I decided that there must be a software conflict causing this problem since the remote works fine otherwise.
    I scoured the net for a solution and found nothing. It seemed I was the only one with this problem.
    Based on the premise that you should push all of the buttons and see what happens I tried several other button combinations on the remote. To my surprise holding the Menu + Play/Pause buttons together for five seconds paired the remote with my MacBook Pro.
    I have unpaired and then re-paired the remote several times with this alternate button combination and it works every time.

    My MacBook Pro didn't seem to work with the Apple Remote either, but it turned out that I needed to logout and back in before the system preferences recognised the pairing. This might be something to try if there doesn't seem to be any response from the computer .

  • Printing labels with Apple Address Book

    I like to print Avery labels ( J8160-J8151 ) from my Apple Address Book.
    A single label works perfect but I like to print 65 of the same labels on one sheet. How can I do this ?
    How can I tell Address Book the printing-position on a sheet of labels when the first five labels are used ?
    Where can I find a manual of Address Book ?
    Please I like to have some suggestions,

    Daan,
    There isn't a manaul for Address Book really, just the Help info.
    You can't print a page of the same label. You also cannot choose the printing position. Apple has left it up to third party developers really to design products to take advantage of the Address Book database. The real power of Address Book lies in that it works seamlessly throughout the system and acts as a centralized contact database with which other software products can make use of the data.
    Here are some programs that might help you:

  • How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

    I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
    Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
    You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is  set back.
    Additional comments:
    Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
    Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
    The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
    The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

    I had the sam problem this weekend and I contacted my bank and Apple.  My bank's response was professional and positive, but Apple's response was very very shoddy.  I had to weave through automated menus and referrals to multiple apple web sites.  This treatment continued for two days until I was finally forwarded to Maria.  She took this seriously and helped as best she could. 
    Unfortunately I think Apple is taking a very cavalier approah to a potentially serious security breach.  After loyally purchasing 3 I-Phone 4s, 3 I-Pod touches, 2 I-pods, 1 Nano, 3 Apple TVs, 2 macbook pros, 1 mac, and  Ipad over the last 5 years apple is on the verge of losing my business.

    What/ Why My credit card statement have (Apple iTunes Store usus luxembourg )amount is usd 9.99

    I had the sam problem this weekend and I contacted my bank and Apple.  My bank's response was professional and positive, but Apple's response was very very shoddy.  I had to weave through automated menus and referrals to multiple apple web sites.  This treatment continued for two days until I was finally forwarded to Maria.  She took this seriously and helped as best she could.

  • Time capsule does not recognise my printer

    Followed all the instructions and all appears to be working fine but cant get TC to recognise my epson r200 printer. Am I doing something wrong?
    Sheps

    I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
    I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
    My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
    Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

  • Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

    Hello,
    When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers.  I am therefore unable to print anything.  This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine.  The printer is connected via wifi.
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader.  I have restarted my computer.  The issue still persists.
    My system information is as follows:
    Windows 8 64 bit pc
    Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
    Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
    Any solutions are much appreciated
    Regards

  • I dont see the iDVD icon on my iMac? It is not in my Finder.

    Where can I finder the iDVD? It is't in my Finder?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:

    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.

  • I dont see the setDataRetriever method on the TableColumn in b42

    Hi there,
    I have few tables in the our application where we want textfield/checkbox and also some times images with textbox.
    Since we are not able to indent table column fields like dollar fields for right aligned, date fields or any fixed length fields to be center aligned...we used dataRetriever to return node.
    But in the current b42 I dont see any method on the table column. Any insight would be helpful.
        TableColumn caseCol = new TableColumn<String>("Case#");
                caseCol.setMinWidth(50);
                caseCol.setPrefWidth(100);           
                caseCol.setDataRetriever(new Callback<CellDataFeatures<String>, HBox>() {
                    public HBox call(CellDataFeatures<String> p) {
                        HBox box = new HBox(2);
                        TextField caseNo = new TextField();
                        caseNo.setPrefColumnCount(14);
                        caseNo.setText(((Links) p.getValue()).getCaseNo());
                        ImageView caseImg = new ImageView();
                        caseImg.setImage(new Image("images/retrieve.gif"));
                        box.getChildren().addAll(caseNo, caseImg);
                        return box;
                });Edited by: Venkat on Sep 8, 2011 6:20 AM

  • Iris Pro 5200 or similar in 13'' rMBPs

    Hi,
    To my understanding the very reason why Apple opted to employ Iris 5100 instead of Iris Pro 5200 in its late 2013 and mid 2014 13'' models is because of the energy (28 vs 47 watt TDP) they drain. In other words, if Apple had employed Iris Pro 5200 in 13'' rMBPs, then the battery life would have decreased compared to earlier 13'' rMBP iterations, which would be a wrong step for Apple and something unacceptable to consumers.
    In this regard I was wondering:
    1) approx. how much the battery would decrease if Iris Pro 5200 were employed in Haswell rMBPs?
    2) From the Wikipedia article on Broadwell and its "expected variants" section, I gather that one of the Broadwell CPUs will be a 37 Watt TDP dual-core CPU with an embedded GPU that has an integrated eDRAM. 37 watts is still quite not near to 28 watt but considering the fact that Broadwell is said to be that it will be significatly more power efficient compared to Haswell, do you think such CPU would be employed in the Braodwell iteration of 13'' rMBP without negatively affecting its 9 hours battery life?

    Apple doesn't release hardware specs of upcoming models, and such discussion is forbidden on this forum.  Apple has a very tight non-disclosure agreement for those who do test its products.
    I am not asking for insider information nor a position at Apple but rather opinions from tech-savvy users who might have insight due to their knowledge and/or using Macs for some time. Just as Oglethorpe who provided a different perspective based on info on previous Apple products. I am sure there must be some forumites who would know technical details and may deduce, at least approx.,  what current 13'' models battery life would be if they were employed with Iris Pro 5200 and whether the Broadwell update may see an integrated GPU with eDRAM similar to Iris Pro 5200. For instance guys at Anandtech make some projections based on their technical knowledge. Are they working at or for Apple? Are they testing for them and violating a disclosure agreement? Of course not! In short, I am really surprised how you could interpret my query this way.
