Cables and Docks
A dock provides a convenient and elegant home base for charging and syncing. And with the right cables, you can connect your iPod to your home stereo so you can share your music or to your home theater so you can watch videos on the big screen. iPod nano Armband
Armbands
An armband turns your iPod into a workout companion. Find the armband that fits your iPod and your taste. Then just strap it on, press Play and hit the road or gym. Apple iPod Socks
Cases
An iPod case doesn’t just offer protection from dust and fingerprints, it also lets you outfit your iPod with your own sense of style. Choose from just about every possible colour, material and design. USB Power Adapter
Power and Car Accessories
Keep your iPod juiced up with power accessories for your home or auto. If your car doesn’t include a built-in iPod connection, you can listen to your tunes from your car’s stereo with some simple accessories. Speakers
Wherever you like to listen to your tunes — living room or back garden, office or beach party, anywhere — there’s an iPod speaker for you. Most include docks that charge your iPod as they play and many come with remote controls.apple TV
What is Apple TV
Apple TV gives you access to an easy-to-navigate world of entertainment. Listen to your iTunes music library. Show off your photos in HD. Even watch free podcasts. Connect one HDMI cable and, just like that, Apple TV turns your TV into so much more.
Play your music through your home theatre system.
iTunes syncs wirelessly to your TV, so all the music you’ve collected can now be played on the best speakers in your house. Browse through your library. Sort through songsand videos by artist, year, rating — all while viewing the album art.
Now appearing on HDTV: Your photos. YouTube videos. And podcasts, too.
Your photos deserve a bigger stage. And Apple TV puts them on your widescreen TV, where everybody can see them in stunning high definition. Select My Photos to browse photos that are on your Mac or PC. You can also access your Flickr or MobileMe galleries. And you no longer have to gather around a computer screen to see YouTube videos and podcasts — Apple TV plays them big and bold on your TV’s spectacular screen.music
Now you can play your entire iTunes music library on your TV — through your home theatre sound system.
Give your music the hearing it deserves.
You have the music. You have the speakers. Apple TV puts them together without missing a beat.
Your iTunes music library syncs to Apple TV. So you can sit on your sofa, pick your music with the Apple TV remote, and sit back and enjoy the concertControl it all with Remote.
Remote, a free application for your iPhone and iPod touch, lets you wirelessly control your Apple TV with a tap or flick of a finger. Genius playlists.
The new Genius feature creates perfect playlists. When you play a song, Genius studies your iTunes library to automatically create a playlist of songs that go great together. Genius on Apple TV lets you
discover songs you never knew you had and rediscover forgotten favourites. Or use On-the-Go to create your own custom playlists right on Apple TV.Photos
Big. Sharp. Life-size and lifelike. Your photos have never looked as good as they do in high definition on your widescreen TV.
Change the way you look at photos.
Scroll through thumbnails. Blow up to view full screen. Play slideshows with your music as a soundtrack. Or let your photos play randomly across your TV screen.Flickr and MobileMe.
Apple TV can access your own or your friend’s Flickr photos or MobileMe Gallery. Skim albums to see what’s inside, select an album, and check out your favourite photos.
Podcasts
There are over 130,000 podcasts on iTunes, including great ones in HD. And Apple TV brings them all to your widescreen TV.
What’s a podcast?
A podcast is a free video or audio series, like a TV or radio show. You can download podcasts to play on your TV, computer, iPod or iPhone. There are more than 130,000 audio and video podcasts on iTunes, from independents to big names including the BBC, The Guardian, HBO, NPR, The Onion and the New York Times. And they’re all free.
The wide world of interests.
Catch up on current events with shows such as CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° Daily. Energise your run with Podrunner music mixes. Keep the kids engaged with shows from Sesame Street. From well-known radio and TV shows in more than 50 languages to speciality indie shows exclusively available as podcasts, chances are there’s a podcast for you.
How would you like your podcast?
Browse by video or audio broadcasts, or by categories such as news, comedy or TV network. Once you find a podcast, watch or listen to it immediately, save it for later, or subscribe to get the most recent episode — and all future episodes — delivered directly to your Apple TV. You can even sync it to your computer and iPod or iPhone to watch when you want, where you want.
If you think waterskiing squirrels are great on your computer, wait until you see them on your widescreen TV. Apple TV brings YouTube videos to life.
Millions of videos. More fun with friends.
The only thing better than YouTube on the computer screen is YouTube on the big screen. Apple TV makes YouTube a movie-like experience. With the sound coming through your home theatre speakers, the wonderful weirdness of YouTube is amplified to a whole new level.
Watch what you want from your favourite sofa.
Explore Featured, Most Viewed, Most Recent and Top Rated videos directly on your TV. Once you find what you’re looking for, you can watch it right away or bookmark it for later.Parental controls.
Apple TV includes parental controls so you can restrict the content your kids see on YouTube. Click
Parental Controls in Preferences to establish your restrictions. Then secure your settings with your administrator password.ipod touch
