Question for someone who knows IOS

It is my understanding that Apple TV is an application that is on IOS, which is what Apple TV runs, similiar to what the other mobile apple devices run. This means it will be possible to run apple TV on other IOS devices as I think some have done unauthorized.
My question concerns future add-ons to ATV if ATV is essentially an just an app.
So lets say they wanted to add (Major League Baseball)MLB. Adding MLB (which is on the iphone and ipad now) will not be running a MLB app on ATV, instead it will be a complete change to the ATV app.
Is the above coreect?
In other words, Netflix on the ATV, is that an app running on IOS or is it part of the ATV app?
I hope this makes sense.

I found the answer.
Whenever you have an operating system it is made of 3 components.
1) The graphics user interface (GUI)
2) The core system
3) The thing that connects the two
Apple TV has a different GUI then the iphone, that is what you see when you turn it on, the main menu and how you navigate through your phone.
So what I thought what was the "Apple TV App" is actually the interface.
So....basically the TV can run the same apps if the app writers adjust them a bit so they fit the GUI of ATV. Currently the ATV has a youtube app and a netflix app and an itunes app, similiar to your iphone. You just interact with them through the ATV interface.

  • Quick question(For people who know about video formats and stuff)

    What type of media file is AVI? Because I looked on the list of codecs compatible with iPod and it didn't say if it was compatible or not, maybe it's something else. If you know, please tell me

    For the formats that were not compatible, I converted them, and it then played the video, but with no sound. I want to get South of Nowhere for a friend on my ipod, butt he only format they come in is AVI and MPG. MPG is quicktime, I know that so it won't work. But what is AVI. Of course I could buy it from the iTunes music store, but I am a kid with no credit card, and my parents wouldn't dare trust me with that

  • For someone who know's their stuff! (pls review my pgming?)

    Hello, Thank you for looking at my post! Now lets see if you survive to the end of it... I have about 103 lines of code which I have put together but I am very new to programming and I want to make sure it all makes sense and I'm not missing anything or doing anything wrong! I have gotten help from a bunch of individuals on this forum and it all works now!
    I have a slideshow that loads through XML. The first picture slides on from the right and stops in the middle of the screen. There is a Next button and a Previous button. When the user presses Next, the currently displayed image slides off to the left as the next image slides on from the right and stops in the middle of the screen. If the user presses Previous, the currently displayed picture slides back off to the right and the previous picture slides on from the left. That is the basic concept of what this programming does. Oh and the buttons glow on and off as the user presses them.
    If some kind soul could take the time to review my code and give me any pointers/critiques or comments etc. I would totally appreciate it and you can relax at the end of the day knowing you have done your good deed for the day/week!

  • For someone who knows about Micros

    A friend's lent me his broken Micro to try and fix - apart from what I've already done, obviously - any ideas apart from returning it's
    When turned on not connected to the charger, it starts up to the 'Zen Micro' text and then freezes. Same happens when battery is removed and replaced.
    When charger is connected and it's turned on, it goes to 'Rebuilding Library' and the HD whirs for ten minutes or so, then it seems to freeze. There's no progress bar displayed on the 'Rebuilding' screen.
    Cheers

    All you can do is try the options in Rescue Mode. I suspect Reload Firmware is your last option to try, and obviously don't format it if he has valuable data on there.

  • Personal domain.... easy question for someone who has done it.. easy points

    If i forward my www.vegasablaze.com to mobile me from go daddy and set up the personal domain in my mobile me account will my address bar read http://www.vegasablaze.com or will it read my mobile me site address? ie http://web.me.com/example/Site/Welcome.html? See once i posted my site to godaddy i lost my blog ability. But I dont want people to se my mobile me address. So I would like to forward to personal domain. but am afraid if it goes to my mobile me it would look unprofessional..

    Personal Domain replaces the web.me.com/username part of the URL with the domain name, with the subsequent folder and filenames on the end, so that to take your example of
    http://web.me.com/example/Site/Welcome.html
    people entering http://domainname.com
    would be taken to the welcome page and the URL showing will be
    http://domainname.com/Site/Welcome.html
    However note that when you do this the original web.me.com URL still works and is searchable by Google. Though casual visitors to your domain won't see the real URL, it's not difficult to find it.

  • Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

    Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
    If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

    Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
    Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
    I think you should be fine.
    I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

  • Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their computer to read my messages without me knowing? If so how can I stop that?

    Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their Mac to read all my current messages? And if so how can I stop it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I really doubt it. To do that, that person must have stolen your Apple ID email and password, and then, log in Messages in his/her iPhone with your Apple ID to read your messages. The Apple ID of an iPhone doesn't change when you connect it to your Mac, so don't worry

  • How to shell script for noob? or Cryptography for someone who doesn't need.

    Hi, I've seen the need of automating some tasks in the Terminal and I believe using shell scripts is my solution, although I don't really even understand how they work.
    Instead of posting a full how-to here, I'd like to ask if anyone knows about good comprehensive guide for someone who never used any programming language, yet knows how to work a bit with the Terminal?
    I will figure out the command I will need to input in the Terminal myself, by testing. Once it's figured all I need is to make a shell script out of it, and perhaps make an application out of it. (Automator? ... or more Script Editor? Or?)
    Thanks
    After seing this page...
    http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howcan_i_secure_encrypt_folders_on_my_macs_usb_flashdrive.html
    ... I believed to have found a great solution for some heavy cryptography, to protect some folder and for learning pleasure. What I wanted to do is to automate the openssl task mostly like this:
    Open my flash drive (or a certain folder) containting a disk image (uncompressed, or compressed if necessary, doesn't matter) but uncrypted. Clicking on something I will name 'Lock' for the moment will run the shell script, encrypting the said image with pre-set parameters and a password I will input when prompted by the app.
    Re-running the app will prompt me a password and simply un-encrypt the image, making it useable for me.
    That's all. Perhaps if I can do it, I'll make it prompt me what cipher and all other parameter to use, but I don't understand openssl very well yet. *I just read and understood more or less informations on that page.*
    Who knows, I'll end up with a sweet GUI for encrypting files usable by the common mortals.

  • Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone?

    Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone? My brother knows exactly what I've been doing on my iphone, playing games, listening to music, whatever and he tells my mom. Is there any apps that can do that? He's also not anywhere near me. He's kinda far away from me and he calls my mom and tells her that I've been doing this and that on my iphone. I was just wondering how he could do that.

    Only if your iPhone has been jailbroken or he has access to your
