Why doesn't apple tv v3 work with my projecter

I had an older Apple TV in a classroom using a VGA converter to project to the VGA projector. I got a new Apple TV 3 and swapped them out and it doesn't work. The projector says "unsupported". Is there a difference between 3 and one from a few years ago that would cause it to just not project?

What modes does the projector support?
Officially AppleTV 3 only supports 720p and 1080p. It won't do interlaced modes but i have occasionally seen it list various other resolutions.
Was the older AppleTV a black v2 or silver v1 ?
AppleTV2 maxed out at 720p.
AppleTV 1 could do interlaced modes up to 1080i as well as outputting 720p/1080p even though it could only process 720p it upscaled.
I would try connecting the new AppleTv to an HDMI equipped TV and maybe setting the resolution to 720p - my older 800x600 projector worked via an adapter when AppleTV was set to 720p recognising a 720p input over VGA.
It could however be an HDCP issue.

Why doesn't CreatePDF Desktop Printer work with Win 8.1?

I purchased this software because I need to convert Microsoft Office documents into PDF for my job. I did not see any prompt informing me that the program was incompatible with my Windows 8.1 OS until after the download was complete and installation began. When I attempt to print to PDF using the Adobe program, it appears to be the process then nothing else happens. No file created to save, no prompts, no error message, nothing! I need to get a refund or have the finds I used to purchase this program applied to the purchase of a PDF Creator program that works with 8.1.

Looks like the Create PDF forum has been moved to Document Cloud PDF services. You might find that a more useful place to ask questions about that product.

Why doesn't Apple host "support communities" with Apple representatives?

I'm a big Apple fan. I've been using Macs for more than 25 years, and luckily for me I bought Apple stock at a good price. But there are times when it seems to me that Apple has chosen saving moneny over providing good service to its customers.
Case in point: a few days ago, I had a couple of problems with purchases on iTunes. I wanted to give iTunes money, but I was prevented from doing so, and I couldn't get through to iTunes support.
It turns out the support problem was caused by a Safari extension called Ghostery. It was blocking Adobe Analytics, and that stopped the support link from working. Why couldn't I just 800-MY-APPLE and connect to support? iTunes is the world's largest music retailer, and Apple has long been in the top 2 or 3 most profitable companies. It currently has $150 BILLION in cash reserves. Why do they have to save pennies on customer support?
When Ghostery (an approved Safari extension) caused problems with the Apple website, there should have been other ways to get to the support.

This is one of the problems with this kind of support: helpful people being helpful inadvertantly give the wrong information, and then you either have to correct them (which comes across as being negative) or the thread goes down the wrong tracks.
Ghostery makes the link you gave not work
I did not give you the wrong information; that link works both in FF and Safari here.
When you install third party addons you have to expect unexpected behavior. Add ons are not guaranteed. If you will read any SLA, you will note that such things can happen and Apple does not guarantee uninterrupted use. So, instead of telling me that I gave you the wrong information, disable or uninstall Ghostery.
— iTunes is part of Apple selling things and "MY APPLE"—what logical reason is there to make it innaccessible to 800-MY-APPLE?
Sales and support are generally two separate entities in a large corporation. The hardware sales and iTunes stores are two separate entities.
Good luck.

Why Doesn't My BarCode Scanner Work With Mountain Lion?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4 and I have two brand new CipherLab 1500 barcode scanners. When I plug the scanners into a PC, they work fine. When I plug them into either of my iMacs the scanner light comes on when I pull the trigger, but when I point the scanner at a barcode, the light goes out, there is no "beep" to indicate a successful scan, and not data is displyed (I'm testing it with TextEdit). The light will not come back on when I pull the trigger again. I've spoken with CipherLab and they say there's nothing wrong woth the scanners (and I tend to believe them) and that the reason the light doesn't come on when I pull the trigger after attempting to scan a barcode is because the scanner's waiting for a reply from the computer and won't re-scan until it receives one. CipherLab also says they've tested their scanners on OS X (the tech I spoke with didn't know what version they've tested them up to) and they "work fine."
Any thoughts?

Why doesn't my linksys router work with my airport express? I can't print!

I can't print to my hp photosmart 1315 with my airport connected to my linksys router. I can only print directly with USB. I had the airport express tested at the apple store and it worked fine with my printer, but now at home, on hte linksys wireless network, the green light is on but the printer doesn't print. I called the help line but they were no help...don't support linksys...
Please help me!
dabasman

In this configuration, you just need to set up the AX as a bridge to allow you Linksys router to continue to provide the NAT & DHCP services for the entire network.
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.

Why doesn't "safe mode" startup work with my iMac G5

I wanted to start up in "safe mode" but could get no further than the revolving gears under the Apple logo. My procedure: I pushed the power button, and as soon as I heard the startup chime I depressed the shift key on my keyboard and held it down. Instead of getting a blue screen I got nothing but the continuously revolving gears. Releasing the shift key at that point didn't do anything. I held the power button until the computer shut down and then restarted, this time without depressing the shift key. This resulted in a successful startup. But why couldn't I start in safe mode?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.5G of RAM

Hi bruckner,
How long did you wait for? Safe Mode startups can take quite a while because the process checks and repairs the directories. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394
Think about how long it can take to run DiskUtility to run "repair Disk" when booted from your OS DVD, especially if there are any problems or you have a lot of files on the disk. The process is essentially the same. It could easily take ten minutes or more in some circumstances if it has to do any repair work.
If you are confident that you waited long enough, then make sure that you have all peripherals except for your keyboard and mouse disconnected. They may be interfering with the boot process when their drivers are not present.
(You can release the "Shift" key as soon as the gears appear)
Cheers
Rod

Why doesn't Apple put the problems with ILife 2006 in their promos

Why did I spend 80 bucks upgrading to 2006.
Now I read here that people who do it are having the same problem I am that I cannot access my photos at all now.
I get a message that my files have to be updated and when I do that an error says to go to all related files and make sure the permissions are for read and write. I have gone not only to the Iphoto Library folder which the instructions tell you to correct, but to every folder I can imagine any of my images are in and changed to read and write permissions.
Still I have the same problem. Perhaps if you only have 53 photos in your database ILife 2006 will work, but apparently with two or three thousand it won't work.
And the Apple ads scream that you can now have a quarter million photos in the data base.
For heavens sake don't believe it and don't buy until they can fix it. I am going to try to reinstall 2005 and forget the stupidity of paying to upgrade.
If there is an answer out there, I will appreciate hearing how you solve it.

John, I have over 10,000 photos and it works. A friend of mine has over 40,000, and iPhoto works faster than iPhoto 5 did with 5000.
There is one problem though, and from your post it looks like you're encountering it - since iPhoto 6 is required to move your photos to a better organization (debatable for some but I like it) structure, it needs to move all your photo files. Usually if it can't move them, it assumes there is a permissions problem. Sometimes, there is another problem - if any file is "locked", iPhoto will still put up the same error. So here's how to correct both problems.
First: Go to your iPhoto library folder in the Finder and Get Info (Cmd-I). In the Ownership and Permissions, expand the Details section. Make sure you are the owner, and set the access to Read and Write. Then click "Apply to enclosed items" and authenticate. This should address any permissions problem throughout your library. If this fixes your problem, you don't need step two.
Second: From your /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Console. Click Clear to clear the screen. Launch iPhoto 6, click Upgrade and get that error. If you look in Console, it may give you a list of files that are locked. I'm not sure how this happens, but some files get that way. You have to go to the specified locations of those files in the Finder, and Get Info on them. Uncheck the Locked checkbox for all of them.
You will be able to access and upgrade your library in iPhoto 6 easily after this. If not, post back here. iPhoto 6, in my opinion, is one of the best upgrades, not worth missing out on.

Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards

Why doesn't our SCN account work with SuccessFactors

Hi,
We are quite new to SAP and I would like to get more documentation (for example setting up Learning or Talent Management) on SuccessFactors products. We have a SCN account and was wondering why with these credentials I cannot get Access to SF. Thanks for your help.

You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?
(Please do not post your email address when answering.)

Why doesn't my Airport Extreme Work with my powerline adapter

I recently moved rooms and wanted to move my airport extreme with me. My previous setup involved my ISP DSL modem (virgin media) connected directly to the airport extreme, this worked fine and had no wifi issues, so i bought a set if D-link powerline adapters, which when connected to the modem in one room & connecting via ethernet in the other room provides excellent speeds, but when I plug the ethernet cable into the airport I get an amber flashing light and tells me theres no internet connection & that theres no DNS servers. I manually input them but that doesn't seem to fix it. Someone said setting it to bridge may solve this issue but I don't have a clue how i'd do that on Mountaun Lion.
If anyone could help i'd be greatful, thanks.

Nevermind fixed it.

Why doesn't my ipod touch work with my new Honda f6b motorcycle?

So, when I try to play music through the (new, unaltered, factory) stereo, the Ipod will randomly freeze. Sometimes it will resume, sometimes not. Sometimes I get an "unplayable" message or a "incompatible usb" message. Sometimes not.
Latest software up to date, etc. Android devices and old Ipods work fine. Also I purchased a brand new lightning-to-usb cable, thinking that would help. It did not.
Is there a patch/upgrade/app that can help this? It's VERY frustrating that Apple's "best" Ipod is the only one that does NOT seem to work!

No update from Apple. Have you contacted Honda/went to their support site?
Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes it just is not compatible with specific model iOS devices/iOS version. Sometimes and iOS update breaks compatibility.

Whys doesn't iMac internal mic work with FaceTime?

Anyone else having this problem? Intel iMac running Lion 10.7.2, The system preferences are set to 'internal microphone' and the FaceTime Video settings are set to 'internal microphone'. The problem is that the mic is not picking up so the perso at the other end cannot hear a word that's being said. We have tried it here at home between the iMac in question and our other iMac. It's only a problem on the one iMac. What's even stranger is that the mic is fine when we use Skype.
Any ideas???

No problem.
If the troubleshooting webpage does not help, and Gino's suggestion does not either, then you may like to contact AppleCare, although they may not know more than we do!
In the mean time, try resetting your PRAM and SMC. Links with details on how to do this are below.

Why doesn't Apple include server.app with upgrade?

I Received my "free" upgrade for my mac mini server only to realize (after completing the upgrade) that my Lion Server had been DOWNGRADED to a Mountain Lion workstation.
Apple support informed me that the server app was not included in the free upgrade. I feel that they should have at least informed me that I would have to purchase additional software after the "free" upgrade in order to mantain the funcutionality of my server. I had no need to upgrade, the existing software on my server provided everything I needed and worked flawlessly. Now I have the choice of reverting the server back to the old OS and hopefully getting everything working as it was, or pay the $20 ransome and get the server app for Mountain Lion.

My guess is that you clicked the wrong blue button. There were two when I went out to the Up To Date page. One said Mountian Lion, the other said OS X Server. If you had clicked the Server button you would have recieved four emails, the two for Mountian Lion and two more for server. I got my codes this afternoon. Email customer service and tell them what happened. They will probably send you out the extra code and password.

Why doesn't the Map module work with Lightroom 5.6 on OSX Yosemite?

Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the Map module won't display the roads or satellite images with Lightroom 5.6. Sometimes it will download a small portion of the imagery but then it just displays the message "No imagery available". If I try and zoom in all I get is a blank view.
It's nothing to do with my internet connection as Google Maps in Safari comes up instantly.

Adobe acknowledged this problem some months ago in the official Adobe feedback forum, but it still hasn't been addressed:
Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
Please add your vote and opinion to that topic.
