OK SO does this reconfiguration allow you to “mirror” the computer screen up onto the tv through AppleTV?

Why is Apple such a closed system? Can’t even make the smallest of changes to make it what I want instead of what Mr. Jobs wants.

I got my AppleTV2 and it works fine for netflix and web stuff, but what about my personal owned videos on my network? Unless I convert them to podcast format I can’t get them. How about something as simple as changing the screensaver. Pictures are nice but what if I want an aquarium or heaven forbid…my pictures instead?

has anyone found a solution to the command not found. My documents folder only has Backups/ which is empty, MacOSUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg and nitoInstall.log.

@faroz06
use cyberduck to copy files to your Documents folder on the ATV then ssh into it and do
sudo cp Documents/your_file_name /new/path/with/no/access
it'll ask u to type your password again and it'll copy

Apparently, the 2.1 update no longer has support files for VNC! I'll have to install them myself.
But I can't because for some stupid reason I can't get read/write access to system files! I tried the command to unlock it, but it didn't work. I need to get the thing to be read/write permanently so I can enable it in Terminal then go to Cyberduck and copy the files.

Does anyone know how???

@Zaphod – No, unfortunately, it’s not just a quick copy – looks like the perl frameworks on the appletv aren’t complete. I’m working on this, but I have no idea what it’s going to take to make it work.

It lags like hell. And it won’t react to my mouse or keyboard. How to fix this?

Hmm… for the VNC trick, the RemoteManagement Core Service does not appear on the AppleTV 2.2, is it just a matter of copying the service over? Or does it require tweaking another config file also?
