What is the difference between Apple TV 2010 & 2011?

Dear All,
Is there any differences between Apple TV 2010 & 2011?

ohh! you mean I should connect the optical audio to the receiver or the tv.
if the receiver has optical input, i should connect the Apple TV optical audio to it, if no, i should connect it to the TV.
Right?
and this should be for each device connected with the receiver?
So, If the receiver doesn't has optical audio input ports, the HDMI that connects the receiver with the TV set can transmit video only, right?
Is that mean if we have Apple TV, DVD and Blue-Ray, we should have 3 HDMI input ports and 3 Optical Audio input ports????????
The HDMI should transmit Audio Video, so the device should connect with only HDMI cable with the receiver.
Sorry, I get confused. Why do we have Audio output (optical audio)?
Is it only if we want to use Home Theater Speakers?

What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model

What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model # MD788LL/A and Model # MD788LL/B

These models both use the same i7-3820QM processor, so difference(if any) is probably not in CPU(only stepping can be different, but intel site shows only E1). GPU is also the same(again, 'revision' or something may be different). doesn't seem that RAM is different either, it's 1600 DDR3L(only timings and power consumption can differ, but it's unlikely). SSD - cannot say anything from specs. Screen[manufacturer]? Googling shows nothing for me. And only visible difference(apart from model number) for me is price. As I'm considering purchase, I don't want to spend more money to get different number.

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care +

apple care protection plan
That is the extended warranty (total of 3 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any Mac computer.
apple care +
That is the extended warranty (total of 2 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone, etc).
For either, the standard warranty is usually referred to as hardware warranty (not Applecare); see an example for the warranty for an iMac:

HT1600 what's the difference between apple tv and apple tv2?

What is the difference between apple tv and apple tv 2?
How do I get videos on my Ipad to play on my Apple TV? I tried Airplay and only vocal comes over.

Thanks! Yea, I'm leaning that way and from everything I've read the 'biggest' benefit would be Airplay - and the 5:1 surround in my gameroom (or the 7:1 surround in my screening room). I don't stream movies - I'm more of a blu ray collector and watch movies that way - so in all probability I wouldn't use Apple TV in the screening room - but there are several other locations where it could be a nice addition.
I do watch some TV shows on my iPAD, and lots of music videos - so perhaps, with Airplay they'll look/sound even better if I push that content to one of the other big screens.
For the most part - whenever I wanted to watch something from my iPad on the big screen, I just connected it to my A/V receiver - pressed play, and enjoyed. Apple TV would now become that device that's connected to my A/V receiver, and the iPad more of a remote - uncabled.
Again - thanks for the reply; it's proven very helpful.
Cheers.

What is the difference between apple warranty and applecare and applecare plus

I understand that apple warranty covers damage due to manufacture defects and applecare is the extended warranty and insurance. Then what is applecare+? What is the difference between applecare and applecare+?

The AppleCare extended warranty extends the standard one year warranty by two years and includes free telephone support for two years.
The Apple Plus extended warranty does the same and includes some insurance covering accidental damage with a two claim limit with a deductible over the two year period.

What's the difference between MBP mid 2010 and MBP retina?

Hey
can anybody give me the main difference or if it's possible detailed of the difference between macbook pro mid 2010 15 inch and macbook pro 2013 retina display 15 inch?
thanks

Also:
The 15" Retina systems come with SSD storage instead of a hard drive.
The 15" Retina systems do NOT come with an optical (CD/DVD) drive.
The 15: Retina systems have two Thunderbolt ports and two USB3 ports.
Both come with various speed and type processors, partly overlapping. I believe the Retina tops out higher in total processing power.

iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account
When you use Apple services, such as the Apple Online Store or registering your product online, you create an Apple ID. You can use the same Apple ID for iTunes, the Mac App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and more.
It is recommended to use only one Apple ID.
If you have registered your product or used any Apple services, you should follow this article to use an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store.

What's the difference between MBA 13' mid 2011 and 2014 model?

Well so I bought my current MacBook Air 13 inch mid 2011 model about 2+ years ago. Recently the screen got cracked and it's getting slower so I'm tinking of buying a new laptop.
I looked at spects of the current 2014 model and my MBA from About My Mac but I don't quite know what's different. Basically it's faster and longer battery life...?

Cool.
Which means it would be even nicer to play some game. I have no problem running most free to play games available for Mac on my current Macbook Air.
I think I am going to buy the cheapest option of MBA 13' so it will be 128GB SSD as I have now.
Well of course I will notice the difference if I changed from 2+ years old laptop from 2011. I would notice a difference even if I were to change to a brand new 2011 mid model
Anyway thanks for the response though

What's the difference between Apple TV and direct-connecting an iPad?

I'm thinking about getting Apple TV - but what does Apple TV give me that my iPad doesn't? I've got an Apple cable that connects my iPad to my big screen already. What do I gain by getting Apple TV instead? Please advise - thanks!

Apple Diagnostics is better, but no Mac model can use both it and the Apple Hardware Test.

What's the difference between new Apple TV and last one

What's the difference between the last Apple TV model and the new one? Do I need to buy the new one or will the sofware update catch me up to the same standard as the new one?

The bottom line is that the new one will output 1080p, this is achieved by an upgraded processor and reportedly additional RAM.
There are no additional features included in the new model that aren't included the older one other than the higher resolution output.

What is the difference between closing your macbook & pressing apple-sleep?

What is the difference between closing your macbook & pressing apple-sleep? My friend aid that it is better to put your computer to sleep by pressing the apple then hitting sleep. I have been just closing it. Is there a difference? Also, is it better to shut your computer down every once and a while. It seems like it gets slow if I just have it sleep after a couple weeks. ALSO, after it has been on sleep every night for a while, my computer has trrouble turning off. I get the problem that says, the application finder has failed to quit try force quitting and try again

None.
There's no particular need to shut down the computer except when traveling or moving the computer.
Whatever other problems you've described have nothing to do with sleeping or shutdown. More likely you need to do some maintenance and/or check that you haven't installed incompatible third-party software.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
