Why isn't Apple TV recognizing my account sign in

Can't get Apple TV to recognize my user name and password. Yet in order to get it connected I need an its account with I store

This is (starting with the main menu in Apple TV)
Computers>My Library>Photos
Meanwhile, I quit iPhoto, restarted the Apple TV, and everything refreshed. The Album now has all the photos. I'm thinking that one or the other of these actions, or both, solved the issue.
Thanks for checking in though!

Come on Apple.....get this issue sorted out!

Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

Why isn't Apple selling the 2GB iPod Shuffles?

???
I had a 1GB one (it's a bit old now) and it finally started breaking down (it will randomly shut off during the middle of a song and then turn back on)
I don't want to buy the new one, and I would prefer a 2GB over the 1GB, but why isn't Apple selling it on their website?
(Hope this was the right place to ask this. I checked the other categories before coming here)

They're still selling refurbished 2GB shuffles in pink, green and blue...

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Birthdays in iCal, Address Book, iPhone. Why isn't Apple listening?

I have seen this complaint over and over again. I have sent countless feedback emails. Why is it that Apple just doesn't care about these VERY BASIC things? Their attention to detail is amazing, yet they choose to ignore things that scream incompetence....
Why is it that I can sync birthdays from my Address Book in to iCal. (Awesome feature by the way) Yet I cannot set a reminder of any kind. Does Apple just think this isn't important to people? Do they just not care? I run into these types of problems with almost every application they have. There will be those one or two little things in each that begs the questions: What are they thinking? How could they have missed this? Why aren't they listening to people? Another upgrade I paid for, and it's still not fixed?
Are any of you feeling this frustration?

That's great, thanks! Worked like a charm, and all my birthdays now have a reminder. Even tells me their age...
Frustrates me that I have to pay $6, when it should already have this functionality. However, it's otherwise a useless feature, unless I am reminded of the birthdays, so I'll pay the $6. It's more important to me to know when these birthdays occur.

Why isn't Apple adding new episodes?

There was a new episode of Disorderly Conduct - Video On Patrol, that aired several days ago (on February 20th). Apple still doesn't have it on the store yet. Why would this happen? The episode before that, the one from 2/13, Apple added right away. Have they lost the rights to this show or something? If so, then why do they have the already-aired episodes? If not, why aren't they adding the new one? I am beginning to feel ripped off, paying good money for that Season Pass and then Apple doesn't have the episodes? :confused:

Episodes are provided by the show's owners. If they don't provide an episode, or deliver a bad copy that needs to be replaced, all the iTunes Store can do is wait, which is all we can do as well. Amazon doesn't have it yet either, so I'm guessing that Viacom is behind in providing the episode.

HT201336 Why isn't Apple time-stamping these updates?

Time-stamping during code signing ensures that the signed files are still verifiable after certificate expiration.
Apple is doing this with software distributed for Windows (e.g., QuickTime, iTunes, etc.), so why not for updates for the Mac OS?
Of course, for its Windows software, Apple seems to be using a code-signing certificate issued by Verisign.
This is a really lame problem to have that can be avoided entirely by following basic best practices for code-signing.

To clarify. IANA is a part of ICAN which has the TZ Atlas. That last update was in November 2011, which did include the Samoan time change. The problem is that Apple has not incorporated that update into their regular system updates, which is the foundation of this question and the problem that most users will have. I don't mind accessing the database myself, but it should not be the responsibility of the user to do so. Wouldn' t you agree?

Why hasn't Apple updated it's accounts management system to include account merging?

Is there a solid reason for not being allowed to merge accounts together? It seems odd Apple, a company that strives on simplicity, would disregard people having one account that handles everything form Mail to the App stores, instead of many different accounts.
I hope this is something that Apple will be working on in the near future.

Nobody here can tell you since we are users like yourself.

Why Won't Apple Mail 4.1 Accounts with Folders on the Mac Take in Email?

Tuesday, October 6, 2009
3:11 PM -0800
I cloned my first generation MacBook Pro to a new and very hot 3.06 dual core.
I have three mail accounts on Apple Mail 4.1 running on OS 10.6.1. I changed port 25 on SMTP to port 587 as required.
The two accounts with mailboxes on the Mac, Verizon and Yahoo! Plus, can't receive mail. They turn grey and show that little dinky sign. Connection doctor doesn't specifically tell me what's going on, either.
I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
I've taken out and re-created both accounts. I have a lot of email filters and don't want to lose them. I suppose the next thing to do is trash the ~Mail folder bug hold on to the filters. The geniuses at the local Apple outlet say it's something which must be fixed here at my home address.
Verizon is my major account, by far. I have made the required changes on the SMTP port from 25 to 587. I sure wish I could check the POP ports and their numbers on Apple Mail.

Greetings,
I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
Says who? Of course you can check this; if you couldn't then you also couldn't enter those port numbers, which would make no sense at all.
*For Incoming Verizon:*
POP server name is incoming.verizon.net
POP port number is: 110
Verizon does not support SSL, but does require Password Authentication.
You can see both of these in the Advanced tab of Preferences > Accounts
*For Outgoing Verizon:*
SMTP server name is outgoing.verizon.net
SMTP port number is 25
No SSL, but Password Authentication is required.
You can view these in the Account Information tab in Preferences > Accounts
*Incoming Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
POP server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
POP Port number is 995
Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
*Outgoing Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
SMTP server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Port number is 465
Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
Test it by sending email from each account to the other.

Why isn't Apple publicizing its ownership of CUPS?

Hello. I am well aware that Apple now owns Common Unix Printing System. I'd like to know why Apple hasn't put any of that information up on apple.com (you have to get that info from CUPS' maker, now an Apple employee)? Thanks.

What would this gain them?
Most users have no idea of what's involved in interfacing printers with computers. Even fewer have any idea what CUPS stands for.
People just expect printers to work out of the box. It's sometimes hard getting them to install a printer driver. The fact that CUPS does much of the hard work for you just brings the reality closer to the user's preconceived expectations. They don't know or care whether the technology behind it is open source, built by Apple or bought in.

Ios 7 bugs and why isn't Apple fixing them?

I am getting really annoyed by some of the glaring bugs ever since ios 7's release, and the fact Apple has released a few updates yet still won't fix some of these bugs......Just some of the bugs I've easily noted:
1. When composing text messages, after you hit send, your message won't appear in the chat windows sometimes until you pull down and release the screen.
2. Spell check will red underline a word, but if you keep typing, the red underline will dissapear so you can't go back and review possible mispelled words.
3. Prior to ios 7, I used to easily be able to copy/paste pictures from the web into a chat window, and the pictures would resize themselves to fit and look properly......now the pictures are usually too large to even tell what they were, or sometimes when you try to do a copy/paste on a picture, it will just copy the URL link and not the picture itself.
These bugs are really annoying, and I'm just really baffled why Apple hasn't fixed this stuff yet!

Yeah, mine is working fine, too, an iPhone 4s with 7.0.4. Sounds like your update did not go well, don't you hate that? I do. And I know it's a hassle but I'd do a restore to factory settings and let it update again to 7.0.4. That will probably fix things nicely. I wasn't keen on updating at all but when Apple stole 3GB of space on both my phone and iPad with an unwanted pushed update file, I eventually gave in and updated them - I at least waited until 7.0.4. Anyway, 7 seems pretty decent and it works well enough.
Before I updated mine, I removed all added apps and other data so it started with a very empty phone. Then after the OS update I re-synced everything back to the phone. Also, I did the update using iTunes and not the pushed update file. It way my only way of rebelling! lol
Do the restore and you should be good to go.

Why isn't my computer recognizing my iphone when it's plugged in via USB cord?

I have tried using multiple USBs and, while they're charging my phone, it's not recognizing my iPhone on iTunes. My computer is making the noise that the phone was plugged in but then a message pops up on my iPhone asking me if I trust the computer I am using, either Trust or Don't Trust. When I press Trust, my computer makes the noise that the USB cord has been unplugged and my phone continues to charge. I really want to sync my iPhone up with my iTunes, but because of this, I am not able to. I would really appreciate some assistance.

Why isn't apple fixing anything -

security doesn't store your settings - safari does the same thing, if you set your home page it always goes elsewhere ! I've been through every setting there is for this operating system. What really ****** me off is that you can't get your money back.

Last reply. This is not a place for flaming.
If my syntax or punctuation was bad, sorry; I meant to point out a couple of examples of current, familiar software creations that evolve rapidly and work fresh-out-of-the-box even when there are major version changes.
Then, I suggested that Apple's "quality control" folks might be paying more attention to making sure that iOS is bug-free and app-integrated than they are to insuring that OS X runs without tripping. That's a good decision on Apple's part, by the way; Apple's profits -- the ones that make the evolution (and survival!) of the Mac and OS X possible -- come from the iPhone / iPad / iPod world and not from Mac sales. Maybe, someday, Mac will have a large market share, again -- but not yet, not now, and it will require time, dollars and Jobs.
Anyway, I'll put up with some temporary wobbling from an evolving OS X in return for near-perfect iPhones and iPads and those big cash reserves that they bring to Apple, because the Mac will benefit. I know what I like; I know which computer system makes me smile while I work and supports me in producing better results faster, and its name starts with an "M," but doesn't continue "icrosoft." And if my writing doesn't please ya, well, golly, your 2,165 points indicates clearly that you contribute a lot more around here than I do.
