You can use 1 unified Apple ID for iTunes so you don't have to repurchase apps. That part is fine.
For iCLoud/iMessage/Facetime you should each have a unique ID so the 2 phones will be separate and you won't accidentally erase each other's content and overwrite settings, nor will you get the others messaages by mistake.

Are you using a stereo receiver or surround sound system for the audio by chance. What you are describing sounds like a receiver that is not setup correctly, or does not have the speakers connected to it correctly to support Dolby surround, 5.1 or 7.1. Which is why it is only happening on some content. It would only be on the ones that are encoded to support Dolby audio.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

No settings for Apple Lossless Audio Codec found in Compressor

For archiving reasons I have to convert many audio files to Apple Lossless (ALAC). So I thought it would be easy using Compressor 4 and and a suitable droplet. I was astonished that here are only settings for the following audio formats: AAC, AC3, AIFF, CAF, MP3 and WAV.
No Apple Lossless Codec in the settings?
Does anyone know how to create ALAC files

This setting generates a QuickTime file with the extension .mov
Of course it does. Why would that be a problem? "Apple Lossless" is not a file format, it's a codec.
OK, if I change the extension manually to m4a it seems to be an ALAC file, but I am not sure if it a "correct" one in regard to the specifications.
There is no "ALAC" file format specification. What are you going to use the files for?
ALAC isn't specified at all. The audio codec is called "Apple Lossless", and it is a set of algorithms to encode audio data, and a specification for a bitstream of audio data encoded such. It can be put in various containers, the most common being MPEG-4 and Apple Quicktime, but nothing will stop you from using AVI, .mkv, .ogg or anything else as the container format.
If you're unhappy with Compressor, which only seems to offer the QuickTime container format for Apple Lossless-encoded audio, there might be other tools that will transfer it into another container while leaving the actual encoded data untouched.
Since the Apple Lossless codec is now free, mencoder might work, even for the encoding itself. I haven't checked MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, VLC or others, which might also offer such options.
Quick tests didn't yield any success, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't work.
An alternative for lessless encoding is the "FLAC" (free lossless audio codec), which is usually stored in an ogg container file. I don't think Compressor offers that, although VLC does.
It seems that the exact thing you want is not readily available (i. e. mpeg-4 audio-only with Apple Lossless audio codec.)

Best settings for Apple TV?

Hi gang,
Compressor has a built in preset for Apple TV that produces 1280 x 720 video. This was fine for HDV material, but recently I started to shoot at 1920x1080. Is it possible to convert this type of material for Apple TV? If so, what would be the best settings?
Cheers!

My question is somewhat related to this subject.
I produce HDTV clips with FCP6 cming from XDCAM-EX1 source. After having exported the FCP Sequence into QuickTime movie I go into Compressor and I would like to find the correct setting to be able to read my clip with Sony Play Station PS3. I tried all kinds of settings and the only one which works is the H.264 for Apple TV but its resolution is only 1280x720p.
I am surprised there is so little compatibility between Apple and the Sony PS3.
The PS3 is supposed to read:
MPEG-4 SP (AAC LC)
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile (AAC LC)
AVI
- Motion JPEG (Linear PCM)
- Motion JPEG (μ-Law)
AVCHD (.m2ts)
But only one of the settings provided by Compressor works ! This is terrible.
Can someone suggest a way to convert my Quicktime movie (1920x1080 HDTV) into a file that can be read by the PS3 without loosing so much on the resoltuon?

Gmail exchange settings for Apple Mail?

I would like to use gmail's exchange server settings for quicker mail notifications on the iPhone, but unless I can configure Apple Mail for it as well, read status and such won't sync up. Is there any way to get it to work on the desktop?
Thanks.

Right. Sorry if I wasn't clear initially, but the replied to, etc., status is what I need to sync up. When the iPhone is configured to standard IMAP, that does work. I'll just have to leave it as-is if Apple Mail can't use those Exchange settings.

Optimal HD export settings for Apple TV

I've captured some video from my Canon HV20 and want to view it in the highest quality I can via my Apple TV. If I read the tech specs on the Apple TV it says "H.264 up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
But if I export as 1280x720 with AAC-LC (default, at up to 128kps), iTunes/Apple TV isn't happy with the result (ie. it won't transfer it to the Apple TV) saying it can't be played. If I say "Convert Selection for Apple TV" in iTunes I get a new 960x540 MPEG-4 video file which plays fine, but isn't as sharp on my HDTV as I would like.
So what's the magic to render a video that works on the Apple TV from FCEHD at the highest quality?
Thanks....

Screen settings for Apple TV.

When I use my iPad on Apple TV, the picture does not fill up the screen. I'm using the 3rd generation iPad with iOS 6.1.2. If I'm watching a movie, I get full screen. When I'm just looking at iPad opening screen, it is much smaller.
Is there some setting I can change to go full screen? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Streamclip Settings for Apple 3?

If so, I am curious to what settings you used as I can't find any.
Thanks!

Default Alert Style notification settings for Apple iOS apps (Banners or Alerts)

As I changed the Alert Style notification settings during the time I wonder what the default notifications settings are for:
- Phone
- Messages
- Reminders
- Calendar
- Photos
Probably it is all Bannersis with non-Apple apps
Thx for your feedback

Modem settings for Apple external modem

I'm not certain if my terminology is correct, but is there a way to set the packet size (MTU?) for sent transmissions for an Apple external modem? Specifically, I'd like to see what mine is set for, and change the values to perform some tests. I've seen posts where the MTU cannot exceed 1492 bytes with some ISP's or data is fragmented. My specific problem is that I am unable to send attachments larger than about 50KB from Leopard's Mail app (3.2), although I can send attachments with no problem from Tiger. Text messages are no problem. Thanks in advance for advise.

Thanks a lot for answering.
I believe the modem is working. I can hear it dial, hear the handshake and apparent connection. The modem status display shows "Connecting" then "Authenticating" and eventually "Disconnecting". I get an Internet Connect report that "Authentication Failed". I have verified that my Account Name and Password are correct, by logging on to the Road Runner Web Mail site. I went through that in detail with their tech support.
How can I disable v.92 in OS X 10.5.6? I tried disabling error control and data compression, but that seemed to have no effect. What about these settings:
Send PPP echo packets
Use verbose logging
Use TCP header compression
Would any of those PPP settings have an effect on Authentication?
So far, the only way I have been able to connect and log in by dialup is with a PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet) in OS 9 with a PC card modem. My normal connection is a cable modem and that's no problem, but I wanted to test dialup as a backup. Now, it's a challenge.
Thanks again for your help.
