Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels

Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels, such as HBO Go and PBS and several others that I know were already activated.

Maybe a software update reset something, maybe the broadcasters require this at intervals, could someone have logged/signed out? Sorry don't get those channels in UK, but once Netflix made me log in again, others seem ok.
You could send some feedback if this happens very often:

HT4972 Why does my apple Ipad have the message ipad not backed up, this ipad hasn't been backed up, backup happenwhen this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to wifi

my ipad is locked up and message says ipad not backed up, this ipad hasn't been backed up. Backups happenwhen this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to WIFI. How do I back up

If you are stuck on that screen and can't get out of it, reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Assuming that you have iCloud backups turned on .... go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now.

Why does my apple TV want to recognize my internet password? and what does -39092 mean?

Hi MLFO!
I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Appl

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Apple?
I noticed while in my local Apple store today that their iPhone 4's have a higher Model # in their Settings --> About screen. When I compare mine vs. theirs, why is my Model # lower?
My biggest fear is that Apple will secretly correct the hardware issues on the iPhone 4 & screw over everyone who bought it early by not doing a recall since it would cost them an arm & a leg.
See screenshots of both units compared:

They are basically batch numbers as posted by several forums other than Apple. One forum in Canada listed 8 batch numbers of iPhones residing in their country with the last code of "C/A". Mine is "LL" for some reason in the USA. I would have thought it would be "US" but there is probably a more detailed thread on this code choice by Apple.

Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content on the TV programmes... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content, surely it will cost nothing to release both?

Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content?
It would be just as easy to release both a dubbed version and then a subtitled version.
I am a native english speaker but live in France. My father has just moved over to live with me in France and speaks very little French.
The price for a television series is very often more than a dvd box set but does not offer language options.
My French is passable but I would still prefer to hear the programme in English.
Using itunes uk is not an option as my cards are french or english with a french postal address.
The content has been adapted for the french site all i want is to access the original.
The series i have been trying to buy is HBOs 'boardwalk empire'.
The stupid thing is to please my father i would buy up most the HBO, BBC and Channel 4 content a cost of a couple of thousand euros.

Try giving Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback and also contact the Apple headquarters at http://www.apple.com/contact We are all fellow users and not Apple employees and often raise questions like yours ourselves. If enough make Apple aware of a market/need then something may be done about it.
France has come a very long way with regard to other languages. When I lived in France, mid-880s, there was an entire Ministry devoted to the purity of the French language...that was the time the PC came out. A TV news person was cashiered for using the term 'computer' on-air instead of the French created word 'ordinateur'. They took the language extremely seriously at that time. At least today there is recognition and even use of English by the masses

Why does front row not have simple organization?

I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

Why does not Apple allows iPhone to be sync by two different computers ?

I have a pc at home and one in office. But I can only sync it with my home pc. Why does not apple allow iPhones to be sync by atleats two pcs as having different pc for work and home is very general.

It is possible to sync from multiple libraries manually on other devices (iPads & iPods) so blanket statements that 'it's DRM' don't really make sense to me.
If it is the only reason why can't non DRM'd content be copied?
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
See step 6, iPods & iPads have fewer restrictions compared to iPhones.
Perhaps we would have a better idea if it wasn't all wrapped up in thousands of words spread between the multiple terms & conditions agreements.
https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/

You will need to read those terms & get legal help if you can't work it out titan_sifu, good luck.

Why does every Apple update require a restart?

I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store

Why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it. I never get the email. I have reset my password 4 times. My email address is good. My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad. I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?

Why does the Apple store carry iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.
