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.

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?
