Apple TV

2011-10-09 Thread Jonathan Rowson
I've had a thought, and was wondering if it was possible, or even needed. If I were traveling with my Apple TV 2 (for the sake of this question), and I wanted to connect to my home network from outside the home to watch stuff from my iTunes, would that be possible? I know I can tunnel back to my

Hello all. I've got a newish iMac Core 2 Duo machine that I brought last summer which has recently stopped seeing the internet via Airport. I've tried deleting and then reinstalling through the System PreferencesNetwork. I've tried resetting my Airport Extreme Base Station (all other computers

Hold 'T' while booting to enter Target mode. If I remember this only works with Macs with native FW 400/800 ports. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 27, 2009, at 3:00 PM, Christian Wacker pizzaboy...@gmail.com wrote: Boot the Macbook in target disk mode (Firewire disk mode) by pressing some key

I thought about that, but my situation was a bad power surge, which Apple said wasn't a failure under 'normal' conditions and therefore would be a routine repair (my iMac was almost 4 yrs old and out of warranty at the time) On Sun, Dec 6, 2009 at 2:31 AM, Dennis Faulkner

I've just run into a problem, my iMac won't boot. It's a late 2008 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo. When I press the power button, I hear a 'whirr' like the HD or SuperDrive is spinning up and it stops and makes a short click. It won't get past that. I can't get into target mode, I can't hold the option key

I've done this successfully at home quite well. I've got an Airport Extreme (not the dual band one) with 3 Airport Express base stations (got them NEW from eBay for about $45 bucks each) I've got 2 of them acting as a bridge for my DIrecTV HDDVR units. DirecTV will allow you free on-demand

Why would you categorize it as a ripoff? It's a ripoff if the product being sold is totally overpriced for what you get, NOT if it's not what you want. Remember, value for money is the key. Don't forget that the Boxed Set is NOT a requirement for upgrading. The Boxed Set is ONLY if you NEED iLife,
