Why does apple tv always connect to itunes even when I own the movie and it is on my computer?
So I have my entire itunes library on a HD that I bring with my laptop back and forth. My problem is not at my house where I have an internet connection, but it is at my cabin in the woods where I do not have an internet connection. Why is my apple tv always trying to connect to the itunes store whenever the movie I am trying to play is on my computer and on the network? I have an airport express setup creating my network, but like I said I do not have an internet connection. I am just using the AX to give me a wifi network. It is constantly looking for the itunes store. Is there a way to bypass this, or is this a Apple security feature? Thanks
I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8
Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?
The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised -

Why does Apple not allow me to Change "Siri's" name on the I5 (NOT how, but WHY)?
No one here can address a question as to "why" Apple does anything.

I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?
Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

Whenever i open itunes on my iphone it shows "Cannot connect to iTunes" even when my internet connection is fine.
Try restarting the iPhone.
If that doesn't do it, one thing that others have done to fix this is manually set the date and time a few months out (Settings > General > Date & Time), test it again, and then set it back to the correct time.
You can also take a look at this Apple doc for other ideas -> Can't connect to the iTunes Store -
my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?
Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?
I haven't missed any point, but you don't get it.
If people take "Send as SMS" being turned off as the iPhone shoiuld not be sending SMS messages without reading this text that is included below the option:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
They are idiots.
But you're saying you have this other piece of information that tells you that this option only applies to two iphones exchanging txt. Where did you obtain such information?
Copied from my previous post.
Under the Send as SMS option, the following is available:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
You should check available text below an option such as this so you know what it does. -
I've tried the suggestions on this website. Ive upgraded to iOS 7.0.4
I've gone to my yahoo email account's inbox, not the all mailboxes inbox.
I've download my emails and hit the edit button. Ive selected an individual email, hit the move button and kept my finger on the move button and deselected the email I initially selected.
A new window is supposed to open so that I can hit the trash button, but the new window does not open. The blue dot next to my originally selected email disappears. The move and trash links at the bottom grey out and the message "select messages to trash or move" stays visible over the preview area. The only link that isn't greyed out is "cancel". I've let the screen sit this way until my ipad goes to sleep, but the new window never opens. I keep trying it over and over, but it doesn't work. I have 1000's of emails I need to delete because they are taking up too much memoryHello there, loupar.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up just how to change your Apple ID for the App Store on your iOS device:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

My ipad is disabled, I dont know the passcode and I dont have a computer to connect to itunes... is there anyway of reactivating ipad without connecting to itunes?
Sorry but no. You will need to get access to a computer with iTunes somewhere to restore the iPad. You can get help with this at an Apple Store if you have them in your area. Note that if you haven't backed up your iPad to iCloud, you'll lose all your data. Apps and other purchases from the iTunes Store can probably be re-downloaded.

I have already tried to recover my ipad but it still keeps coming up that it is disabled and to connect to itunes. When i go to itunes it says that I require to put my passcode in on my ipad but i cant because its still disabled. Please help, I have no clue where to go from here. I though by recovering it that it would work but it didn't. Help! Thanks in advance.
Did you do this?
Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -
My ipad is disabled and it tells me to connect to itunes. However, once I've connected to iTUNES, it ask me for my passcode and of course, I can't put that in because my ipad is disabled. I am ready to throw this iPad out the window. Wll never buy another one.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER

Why does app say to connect to itunes for alerts?
after installing ios7 various apps are saying "connect to itunes for alerts". previously, alerts were working fine. alerts are active in the settings.
What about this:
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled. -
Why does it keep saying connect to itunes
i cannot use most of my apps as it keeps saying connect to itunes to get push notifications. my notifications are of and i have connected to itunes but t still says that and nothing else happens. how can i stop this?
Well you're just a problem there John!
1. If you already downloaded and paid for a game, you can't be charged for it again, so you can delete it from your iPad and redownload it. OR
2. Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and in iTunes, sync your iPad, then open it by clicking on it from the left side of your screen. Once open, click on the apps button above and make sure you sync the game over.
Again, once you've paid for something you can't be charged again.......you'll get this sorted.
