What is the cheapest way to be able to watch NETFLIX on my TV through my computer?

I am wanting to cancel some of my cable programs, so that my bill wasn't so high and I thought about streaming to my TV from my iMac, but wasn't sure on the most inexpensive way?  Can anyone help?

if the iMac is in another room, the Apple TV is cheapest and easiest ($100).
Depending on the age of the iMac and if it's close, you can buy a Moshi HDMI adapter ($35) and an HDMI cable (varies by length) and basically turn the TV into another monitor. New HDMI can carry both video and audio. If it's older, you will need a 3.5mm split Y RCA cable to carry audio.
But honestly after buying those wires, you're close enough to the Apple TV price, you might as well buy that. it's easier and an advantage of that is now you can watch netflix and use your iMac simultaneously.

    i dropped my ipod in the pool and put it in rice for three days and the screen just stays white now. what is the cheapest way to fix thiss?

    There are companies that specialize in data retrieval but it's costly (probably cheaper to buy a new iPod) and more than likely as Allan said, your circuits are probably damaged beyond all hope of retrieving anything. It's worth calling Apple you maybe able to get a discount or a refurbished iPod. Can't hurt to ask, Good luck. (And in the future... no texting in the john.) Sorry, couldn't resist it.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.
    Out-of-warranty repair service
    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

    I have dial up connection for my internet  What equipment do I need to be able to watch Netflix on my TV?

    First need would be a high speed Internet connection, such as Cable, DSL or Fibre service. Dial-up has nowhere near the capacity to provide Netflix service.

  • What is the best way to be able to run certain websites that aren't supported by safari, firefox, and chrome, in other words only internet explorer?

    I really need to do a class online but it wont save progress because it is not supported by safari and only works with internet explorer. What is the best way around this?

    Try this with Safari ...
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:   Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar again click Develop > User Agent
    Try IE 9, 8, or 7.
    An alternative is to create a  partition on the Mac hard drive and install Windows using Boot Camp  but that is a long and drawn out process and you would need to purchase an Window install disc.

  • What is the best way to move multiple formats of songs/photos/podcasts to a new computer?

    For most of my life, I have used my family's home Windows desktop to establish my iTunes account with my iPod Classic (5th gen). On this computer I have:
    iTunes store purchases
    CD imports
    Other MP3 files
    Podcasts
    Photos downloaded from online
    Now I am in college in another city, and I won't be able to come home much, so I'm setting up iTunes on my laptop as my new "home base", as it were. I've already authorized it under the same account that I use on my desktop. What is the best way to move all of this stuff from my old computer to my new one? I'm thinking an external hard drive is the best decision, but I want the input of the Apple community. You guys are much more knowledgable than I am! Thanks!

    Hey Alayna,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! I'm not really in a position to recommend a "best" option, as there are several different ways to go. You can read over your options in the following document and decide which one works best for you:

  • What is the best way to copy 700 local folders full of email to a new computer?

    I am moving my wife from and old computer (Thunderbird, Win XP) to a new one (Thunderbird Win 7). She has about 700 local folders with thousands of email messages in them. What is the best way to copy them to the new computer?

    The easiest way is just copy the whole profile.
    Help menu > troubleshooting information
    Close Thunderbird
    In windows explorer select all and copy.
    paste everything onto a thumb or other read/write portable media (not CD or DVD)
    on the new Machine repeat the troubleshooting and close steps to get the current profile folder
    This time paste everything from the portable media into the profile replacing what is there
    Open Thunderbird, your done mail contacts add-ons everything

  • What is the cheapest way to end service and change to Tmobile?

    I currently have a family plan with 5 phones and 1 tablet and am paying way too much. I would like to switch to Tmobile. 4 of the phones have contracts up in a month but the other phone and tablet have another year. However we do not use those lines, they were added in order to get a premature phone upgrade (I now see the mistake I made there..). What ETFs am I looking at for those two lines? What would be the best way to change to Tmobile?

    Actually you can port all the numbers over as Lizdance stated on the 4 lines. Do this when the lines are free from contract. Otherwise T-Mobile will pay $120 per line if you leave one month early. However you have to pay the etfs first.
    The other two lines can also be ported out but again you will be paying the fees first.
    Please be aware if you read up on the reimbursement of the T-Mobile program many complaints about not getting the money from them (actually gift cards) they are denying many submission's for a number of reasons, some they claim were not submitted on time, some have missing information etc. So be very careful.
    Also you will need to purchase all new devices, pay activation fees and may have to pay deposits. The service may not be all that great coverage wise so be certain all works before you switch.
    Good Luck

  • What is the cheapest way to get wifi in a home for Ipad mini - if we already have internet (but no wifi setup)

    Trying to get my sister set up with wifi.  She is getting an ipad mini for Christmas and has internet, but no wifi.  Is there any restriction on the Airport version that this ipad mini will/won't work with?
    I have found many 'used' Airport Express units on Amazon, but just need to make sure that these older models will work with this new ipad mini for her.

    I don't use Facetime, but if it is available on the Internet, she will be able to access it by entering the Web address for the site in the browser of the iPad.
    I just need something inexpensive since we are having to 'add that' for her.
    Since you are familiar with Apple products, the Express would make sense.
    The setup of the Express will very easy from the iPad. Look for the info in this link about Easy Setup:

    It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number).  I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
    The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number.  Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800).  After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
    Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
    Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
    That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
    Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
    AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
    KVR = bad
    KTA = good

  • What's the best way to be able to access and work on files between new iMacs?

    One is used in office downstairs and other is for personal. We want to be able access office documents and work on them upstairs.

    There really is no best way, without knowing what you want to do more in-depth it's difficult to recommend.  You can turn on iCloud on both machines, you can use Sharing on both and/or  you can use a Dropbox account. Please explain in-depth what kind of files you will be sharing and what you are thinking of.

    Define 'too expensive'.  Originally the iPhone 4S 16GB retailed for about $649 USD + tax, IIRC.  And that was when it was released in October 2011.
    So, three and a half years later, what prices are you seeing, and for what capacities?
