Unlike earlier when iPods worked only with Macs, nowadays, they can function even in Windows versions and they can play various audio file formats like WAP, AIFF, MP3, Audible audiobook etc. The iPod nano can play Quick Time video formats and MPEG 4 files with suitable limitations while the iPod photo allows the viewing of PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF files. It is possible to transfer the files to the storage compartment of the iPods. The Fire Wire and USB wall chargers accompany the iPods which are used to charge the iPods without the computer.

As is evident, the final aim of the device is to attach itself to a television for the projection of digital content. For that purpose it requires component video connections and High Definition Multimedia Interface or HDMI with the help of cables. The analog and digital optical audio ports enable audio facilities. While a USB port is supplied with the Apple TV, it is usually preserved for other purposes and it attains connection with the personal computers via Ethernet or through defined wireless protocols. A significant associate supplied with Apple TV is the Apple remote though it is stated that Apple TV can function via other remote controls.
Apple TV can also stream contents from iTunes online store libraries with the help of the peer-to-peer digital media receiver and it also allows the streaming of 720p High-Definition video content. The main features of the Apple TV include TV shows, Movies, Music, Podcast, YouTube and Photos. For the functioning of these components, certain guidelines have to be followed.

JPEG, PNG, TIFF and BMP formatted files are supported for the viewing of photos or images on Apple TV.
