Vertical placement of apple tv

Is it possible to place the apple tv vertically (bottom of atv on the wall) ?
If so any problems with hard disk, wireless or remote ?

Personally I'd have few concerns over mounting the device vertically, indeed I suspect that fixing it to a wall would generally ensure better air flow around the unit than might possibly be the case on a shelf under the tv, it is also likely to ensure a greater distance (but not necessarily) from other electrical items that generate heat and interference.
I would be concerned though about the possibility of it falling off, which raises the question of how to fix the unit to the wall. Any fixings will need to withstand the possibility that you want to swap cables while in this position and at the same time be minimal enough so as not to interfere with the units ability to dissipate heat.
I think there is a likely assumption that under a tv the unit will not fall into direct sunlight, this may not be the case when positioned on a wall and it would seem prudent to check that this is not the case before proceeding with the relocation.

    Apple does not have an international warranty.  If the phone was purchased in the US, it must be serviced in the US, in warranty or out of warranty.  Also, Apple will not accept international shipments...the phone must be physically returned to an Apple store in the US or mailed from within the US.

  • Help Uploading Apps Ont market place for apple/Android/Blackberry

    So we are currently in the Pre-Release program with adobe and we have a few questions that we need to know ASAP
    With the prerelease we do not have access to the online viewer builder
    But we do have access to the content bundler and viewer builder off the desktop programs.
    Our main question is can we make multiple apps within one Adobe Id?
    Our Magazine needs to have issues that fit different screen sizes. So we have made different stacks that fit each different tablet. We already made different stacks that fit the many aspect rations of the different devices such as: IPAD (1024x768), XOOM (1280X800) and BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK (1024X600).
    We used the Content Bundler to Create the Ipad app for a multi Folio to have a Retail issue as well as a free one.  Then we used the viewer builder to export the zip file to send to Apple. Which is currently waiting for approval. Our next step was to create the multi folio to fit android devices. So we put all the stacks together and eventually made a free issue and a retail issue. Now in the main tab it shows 4 different Issues; 2 for the ipad (1024X768) and 2 for the xoom (1280X800).
    So we then tried making a viewer for an android device through our account in the viewer builder. After linking all the certificates and filling everything out we eventually made an .apk file. The thing is now it shows all 4 issues instead of just the 2 that fit the android xoom device.
    Our main question is if we delete the 2 Ipad versions in the Content bundler under the manage tab, will that effect the App that we sent to apple? or should that be fine because we exported it as a zip file?
    We also want to create other applications for other Android devices (With different screen sizes). So would we just have to continually delete things off the content builder through the manage tab or is there another way to do this?
    If any of you know any information about this let me know
    On another question.
    Now if we want to upload to Blackberry's market place they said we need to have a .bar file. so how do we make that in the viewer builder on the desktop (the prerelease version) because it only lets us make .apk files or .zip????

    If you're still using prerelease software, go over to the prerelease forum. Search for "renditions" in the user guide PDF, and read about how you can create various folio renditions. When you create folio renditions of different sizes, the viewer picks the right rendition based on the viewer dimensions. If you're using the current tools to create renditions, the information is here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c-2337961812e35738f56-8 000.html
    One important note. When you create folios for the Xoom, account for the 48-pixel navigation bar that's part of the Honeycomb interface. For a dual-orientation folio, create a custom 1232x752 folio and document size.

  • Is it possible to disable "View in Place" in Apple Mail?

    Trying to type an email with a massive pdf or jpg blocking my view is a bit annoying, as is needing to right click and hit "View as Icon" every time I add an attachment. Is it possible to completely disable "View in Place"?

    Yes, I know it. I replaced the default transferhandler
    with my own. I have two JLists, I need to disable the
    drop component in the first JList and the the drag
    component in the second one, so I can only drag items
    from the first list to the second one, and not the
    other way around. Is it possible?Of course it is... if you had read the tutorial you wouldn't ask for it, but here are useful links:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JList.html#setDragEnabled(boolean)
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)
    I hope it will make sense now,
    Regards.

  • Stuck on white screen with 5 pink vertical bars and apple logo

    Hi all,  mid 2011 I bought my first IMAC which operated great until a couple of hours ago.
    All of a sudden the screen started to flicker
    I tried pushing the on/off button which did not help.
    Then I pulled the plug out of the socket.
    Put the computer back on.
    I got a white screen with 5 pink bars and apple logo.
    Then a white screen.
    Nothing more.
    Started the computers several times but no luck.
    So, I called the shop where I bought it and just went there. Only thing they can do is send for repairments and reset the whole system.
    And since my computerknowledge goes only so far I do not have a back up...And they can not get my files from the computer.
    Therefore i was advised to go an Apple store, which I did. But I was told they also cannot help me with getting backups.
    So my question is : how do i get an backup from this iMAC if I cannot get past a white screen with 5 pink bars?
    And furthermore, how could this is happen?
    Anyone any advice and ideas regarding this matter?
    Thanks very much!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This is not a good sign, because the GPU is damaged. Unfortunately, you can't do anything to recover your data, but here's the good part: the GPU isn't soldered to the logic board in your Mac, so only the GPU will be replacing and you won't lose anything more.
    You can take it without a backup before the hard drive won't be modified. However, when you get your computer after being repaired, buy an external drive and start making backups using Time Machine or a clone app like Carbon Copy Cloner. All hard drives fail and you don't know when your hard drive will fail, so it's better to make backup of your files

  • I can't get rid of icons in Places -- according to the manual, you're supposed to be able to just drag them off and they go "Pouf!" and disappear. But no...

    I can't get rid of icons in Places -- according to the manual, you're supposed to be able to just drag them off and they go "Pouf!” and disappear. But no...

    Just "ctrl" and mouseclick the desired icon and select "Remove from Sidebar" from the little pop up window.. That should do the trick (in your vertical "PLACES" column)
    NB: if you want to get rid of icons on the top (horizontal) bar of your finder window, then you need to go to the item with the mouse, press "cmd" ("apple" key) and drag the icon off the finder window onto your desktop and let go (if you want the "Pouf!" effect

  • Macbook Air Already Registered To Someone Else, Apple's Problem or JB HI-FI's Problem?

    Hi every,
    I purchased a Ex Demo Macbook Air from JB Hi-FI 2 weeks ago which is a 2011 model, ( salesmen said it was mid 2012 ) but anyways that's another matter. I was using my Air today and i experienced a fault with the sound, I was on the desktop and went to open an app and then a sound started (like a static ticking) which was loud and i was unable to close the app as it never opened and i couldnt restart or shut down.
    After holding the power button down to restart it, i thought, i should register this new Macbook Air under my account, incase something is wrong with it.
    So i went to the apple site and logged in and entered my serial to register it for the 1 year warranty cover and low and behold, it's already been registered! Also the service repairs is valid for another 4 days, Phone Tech Support is expired, Applecare extention option expires in 4 days also.
    So moving forward, This product i have bought is registered to someone else. Am i in my rights to request a brand new unit, and if they don't make mid 2011 models anymore and I entitled to a lastest model? Under the retail purchasing laws i am entitled to 1 year warrenty and the services provided when purchasing IE: phone support etc.
    On Apple's website it says the following:
    If you believe the information shown for your product is incorrect, you can submit your proof of purchase online or by fax. Your sales receipt is needed for Apple's 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan validation, so be sure to keep it in a safe place. Apple's 1-year limited warranty is the same whether or not you register.
    My problem now is, after experiencing the sound fault i experienced, should i try and talk to JB HI-FI or fill out the proof of purchase for Apple and subit to them and see what happens?
    Thanks in advance for your advise, and i hope this makes sence.

    should i try and talk to JB HI-FI
    Yes. You should take the computer the place you bought it from and talk to them.

  • How can I go back to google maps instead of apple maps?

    Apple maps are very very very bad. Is it possible to go back to google maps. I come from Spain and maps doesn't work. Always finds what you are not looking for and what you want does not exist in 75% of searches. You find places and apple maps is not able to give a route. Says that no route available and that's all
    The app that comes with the operating system is a disaster.
    Any way to go back to google maps???

    Download the Google Maps app from the App Store.

    Did you create a new Apple ID or rename the old one?
    Either way, since the Apple ID can be used in many places, check out this article for help changing it in all the right places.

  • There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

    Hi, Everyone,
    I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
    I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
    I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
    If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
    If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of  the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
    Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
    Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
    My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
    Thanks ,Myron

    if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

  • Has anyone at apple ever heard of regression testing? ATV audio still doesn't work on 4.3.3

    I really don't think that there are any software validation principles in place at apple because my Apple TV has now been unusable for over a month due to all of these failed software updates.  Upgraded to 4.3.3 yesterday and it didn't resolve any of my audio issues.  I am using a DVI connection with optical audio out.  No audio on every 4.3 update.  I can get broken audio on the latest update (4.3.3) if I crank my receiver up to 50.  Used to get loud audio on my receiver set to 20.
    If anyone is actually testing this software using any known software validation principles, it would amaze me.  Someone needs to give me my money back for this black boat anchor.

     this support note indirectly suggests it should work with HDCP enabled DVI adapters:

    Specifically, the last section:
    Additional Information
    Even if your HDTV supports HDCP, you may still experience HDCP related issues when connecting your Apple TV (2nd generation) to your HDTV if:
    You have connected your Apple TV to a HDMI-to-DVI adapter that does not support HDCP
    You have connected your Apple TV to your TV using a HDMI cable that does not support HDCP
    You have connected your Apple TV to your TV via an AV receiver that does not support HDCP
    You have connected your Apple TV to a HDMI hub, switch, scaler, or extender that does not support HDCP
    None of that is surprising at all. It's what I meant when I said it would be "unfathomable" to assume DVI wouldn't work when HDCP is supported. It would actually require extreme negligence or malice to create a device where DVI doesn't work, hence "unfathomable".
    I don't even know where to buy an HDMI<->DVI adapter or cable that doesn't support HDCP. The straight-through $2 adapters and $5 cables from places like Monoprice.com work perfectly and "support" HDCP. I know this because I've used both. ETA: I put "support" in quotes because it's wrong to emphasize this as some special quality that might be hard to find or expensive. You'd have to actively seek out an adapter or cable that does not "support" HDCP.

  • Ask your question.APPLE WEB SITE IS SLOW

    I'm on apple support page,I ask a question,10sec later the page comes up. I click on a question and 5 sec later the tiny circular spins letting me know it's looking for the page and then 5 sec later the page opens. Anything and every thing I do the apple web site takes about 10sec or longer every time I click go.
    A lot of times if I click twice and some times just once I get a pop up telling me Apple is not responding. 
    I thought it was verizon service but I just got charter and it's the same way. Any Ideas?? 
    I just went down this page to find out where the best place on apple is to put my question and I clicked the box WiFi and 5 sec later the check mark showed up.

    I actualy had Verizon shut off and removed there security from my p/c and I'm in awe. My p/c is fast and I no longer have trouble with turning pages. I was wrong about charter.com it's who I have now and I'm not haveing trouble with slow int and clicking on the next web page is fast.
    At first it was the same thing w/charter but I still had verizon. I wanted to see if charter was better before I got rid of Verizon but I got speed only after I called Verizon and had them shut me off and then I got rid of there security. 
    I HOPE THIS HELPS.

  • Apple Macbook Pro Touchpad Problem

    Hi, everyone.
    I bought my mac about 6 months ago, and I am really happy with it. It is fast, fun, and is incredibbly functional.
    I have one issue though. I think the tochpad "click" function is not working the way it used to. I am not sure how to explain it, but when I click the left side of the tochpad it feels different than when I click the right side of it. It is as if the click on the left side is not going as deep. It just barely moves. It does function, however.
    My question is whether anyone else encountered this issue. Is this something I should contact Apple about? I travel a lot to places where Apple customer service is not available, so I am a bit worried the button might stop functioning while I am outside the US.
    Thank you!

    This is not normal.
    It is better to take the MBP to Genius Bar at Apple Store for  hardware related issues.
    Best.
