What can I actually do with the Apple TV2 in the UK?
Sounds like a silly question, but im quite serious!
I know that the services differ from country to country, but im just wondering what the apple TV can do by its self.
I'm guessing that we CANT watch NetFlix as they havent launched in the UK?
We CAN watch Youtube and Vimo?
Can we stream content directly from Apples servers (ie, if I rent a movie, do I have to download it onto my mac first?)
what about TV shows?
Again, sorry for sounding a little silly, but I just want to know
Thanks for all your help

Hi Neil.
Winston, Chenks and I are all from UK and have used AppleTVs for many years - I always found it strange that UK posters were more prolific than US posters here, but I think that may have been down to better availability of streaming services in US generally until recently compared to UK and AppleTv may have had a niche market here - may be wrong.
AppleTv1 was originally an 'iTunes extender' for compatible media (see specs).
You could sync media from iTunes to it to play with computer off or stream additional media from itunes when computer was on.
Later SD/HD Rentals and TV/Movie/Music/Music Video purchases came to AppleTV1, syncing back to iTunes.
It allowed access to mobileMe, Flickr, youtube media, podcasts and internet radio.
AppleTV 1 had some benefits over 2 but was also underpowered hardware wise compared to the newer unit (which some would argue is still the case due to lack of 1080p support).
AppleTV2 has been repositioned less as a vehicle to play itunes content, but more of an online rental device, with some internet services supported and in my view a strong emphasis as an accessory for iPhones/iPad/iPod tocuhes using Airplay.
You can still play compatible content from iTunes (again see specs on Apple's pages).
Netflix not available in UK but apparently Netflix coming in next 12 months - no idea if AppleTV will support.
There are some premium subscription US sports intrenet feeds - personally I have no interest, some are US only, some are worldwide with a valid subscription.
YouTube still available, Vimeo, Flickr and MobileMe remain as do Apple's Radio Stations and Podcasts.
US had Movie and Tv Rentals we only had Movie rentals. US dropped the TV Rentals.
US it seems can purchase content not just rent. We can't currently in UK outside of iTunes.
Airplay from an iDevice (newer models on the whole) will allow apps enabled for Airplay to stream the display to AppleTV. iPad2 and iPhone 4S also support video mirroring on TV. Macs currently don't support mirroring but do support iTunes Airplay.
So Netflix - not currently.
YouTube/Vimeo - yes.
Stream content from Apple - yes - if you have a slow (<6 Mbps) connection HD wil have to prebuffer for minutes to hours depending on speed of connection (4 Mbps takes 30-40 mins for movie to prebuffer). If you have a slow connection you can rent in SD near instantly if you have 2.5 Mbps or so. You can also rent in iTunes and play on AppleTV but choice is different (less HD).
TV Shows - no rentals anymore anywhere but purchased shows in itunes can be streamed over LAN.
Also iCloud support will emerge eg Photostream and who knows what else in the future (US ahead of us with streaming content from Apple's servers of purchases previously made and 'available').

What can I actually to with database connections?
This may sound like an odd question, but once I define a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, what can I actually do with it? Let me clarify what I'm doing:
I've only just found out that we can define MySQL connections when a PHP/MySQL site is defined. I'm used to administering my databases via MySequel or phpMyAdmin. Accessing databases in Dreamweaver would rock!
So now I've got a connection, I can read all my tables... but I can't seem to do anything with them. I can't add data, I can't modify data - all I can do is look at what's already there. I can click the "insert code" or the "view data" option, but they don't seem to do anything useful: The first option only pastes whatever is highlighted in my code, and the second brings up a window displaying the data.
What am I missing? Can I change the data somehow and just haven't found the option yet? Or what else can I use my database for?
For example, exporting or importing data, synchronising with another database/database host, etc?Database connections are used to develop data driven web sites. So if you are familiar with server side scripting you can write code to make your site dynamic. In the past, DW had server behaviors that streamlined the process of creating web forms and display areas to insert, update and select from database tables, but these have been removed as the code was never quite up to current standards.

Exactly what can you manage centrally with the Management Appliance?
So, we're thinking of getting a pair of M1070 Management Appliances to work with our cluster of C360 mail appliances (AsyncOS 7.6).
It is not completely clear (a) which things can be centrally handled, and (b) which things can be handled in a redundant manner. It is also not clear how the redundancy works - are things copied to both all the time? If the primary management appliance goes down for a while, are the missed logs copied over from the secondary when it comes back? When the primary is down, does the secondary take over a virtual IP so that users will still go to the same URL for quarantines?
Logging, reporting, and message tracking all seem to be easily done centrally, and are duplicated to the redundant.
As far as I can tell, the spam quarantine can be centralised, and it seems that it is replicated to the secondary if you have AsyncOS>7.2. I can't tell if the safelist/blocklist is replicted between the two, though, and what happens in a failover situation, although it seems it is held centrally. I've seen conflicting information about this, one saying that secondaryconfig can duplicate spam quarantines, the other saying you need to do some sleight-of-hand with content filters to duplicate messages to both management quarantines.
Is there a way to make other quarantines on the management servers? We'd like to have our policy quarantine held centrally, and redundant, so that if we lose a datacentre we can still release policy-quarantined messages. I can't tell how you can set thisup.
Finally, we currently route our emails via the cluster of C360 mail appliances. Would we continue to do this (and they send logs, quarantines etc to the management appliances), or would we have to instead route our emails via the new managment appliances, which then forward them on to the C360s?
If anyone there has successfully set up a redundant management appliance setup I'd be keen to hear the details.I haven't set up redundant SMA's so I can't help much there... I'm reasonably sure that one acts as a backup destination for the other, but I may have that all wrong.
As far as what can be centralized, as of ESA 8.0.0 and SMA 8.1 (might still be FCS, you can request it from TAC), you can centralize Policy, Virus and Outbreak quarentines, along with the already available spam quarentine and message tracking... Set up the policies and quarentines on the ESAs, point the SMA at the two ESAs, and tell it to import the quarentines, and will bring over the data that's there and reconfig the ESA's to send the policy quarentined mail over, just like it does for the spam quarentine.
You would continue to route mail through the C360s. The M boxes don't do mail flow, other than centralizing the quarentines, and dealing with quarentine releases... -
What can I legally do with old Apple software?
Hi -
I've been going through closets and found packages of Apple software that I have purchased, installed and used - but haven't used in years and don't intend to again. I'm talking about Logic Studio V2.0 Final Cut Studio HD V7.0 and Final Cut Express HD.
Can I sell these used packages legally?
Will the new owner be "blocked" from using the same registration number I used even though I've uninstalled the software?
Thanks for any insight on the issue.
JoshHere's part of the SLA from FCS 2 (other versions are virtually the same): http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf

I just upgraded to yellowstone and now my apple tv is telling me it is not compatible with HDCP. What can I do to resolve the problem?
Hi billzundel17,
If you are having an issue with your Apple TV telling you it can not play HDCP content, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

I have an older Macbook with OS/X. Tried to download iTunes 10 a few times now, but when installing I always get the same error message: Run Preinstall Script for Apple Mobile Device Support. What can I do to finalise the installation?
Thanks. Short of the sort of "generic" suggestions of restaring your system, if you haven't, and repairing disk permissions and verifying the disk, I don't have any advice right now. I'll do some research and see if I can come across anything. Meanwhile, someone else may have an idea.

What is the main benefit of buying an ipad ? what can you actually do in 16, 32 0r 64 gb when you have 510 gb laptop with you ?
For me? the advantage of an ipad over a laptop....instant on, instant off, thin and portable. Check your e-mail and put it down, not wait 5 minutes to boot, check your mail, shut it down.
Is it as fully functional as a laptop? no. Not meant to be. What it lacks in functionality it makes up for in portability.
Is a necessity? no. But quite handy. -
I can't make purchases with my Apple ID becuase I don't know the security questions and the reset password is old and doesn't exist anymore. What should I do?
Per the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
contact: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If you can't reset your security questions
Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have a rescue address.
You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address. -
during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right???? -

It is beginning to shutdown with no warning more frequently. What can I do to locate the exact issue? My warranty has expired so I would like to get to the bottom of it without taking it in to an apple store.
I am currently learning how to do diagnostics on mac hardware but I am not a native mac user. It is unlikely that this is a software issue. Please, any input will be helpful.Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
