Apple TV and Av cables

I have a denon receiver with hdmi, but it only supports sound thru av cables, is there an av adapter for Apple TV? Any other options on how I connect my apple tv to my receiver to get sound? Thnaks

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was just trying to view some music videos I have on the unit. Pretty straightforward stuff. Actually got them at the Apple Store! LOL.

IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Having problems connecting iPad 4S to monitor with Apple adapter and HDMI cable.

Purchased an Apple adapter to connect to an HDMI cable. The connections were secure and the image on the iPad was duplicated on the monitor; however, there was a lot of "snow" on the monitor. I tried turning off the power to the iPad and then starting back up, but that didn't work. Once when checking the connections the image cleared for a few seconds, but then the "snow" came back. Any ideas?

sounds like either an issue with the HDMi cable, or the connection at the TV possibly.
Try another HDMI port on your TV if there is one, or a different cable.

So I paid for the Apple dock and component cables to watch videos, BUT

I can only play one video at a time and cannot use the remote to forward to the next video? What?! I have to get up and go the the TV to select and play each and every single music video? Why did I need the proprietary dock to play the videos in the first place if you can't even use the remote?
This wouldn't be an issue if I could organize my music videos into playlists like I am able to with music, but can't do that either. For the cost of the dock, component cables, Touch, and the videos themselves, you'd think they'd have covered their bases on the simplest of conveniences.
Apple, please allow me to remotely forward through my videos, and
2, let me organize my music videos into playlists just like songs, and then be able to actually play the music video from the playlist.
Thank you.

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work on my Touch. Maybe I am mising something. But after creating music playlists with just music videos in them, when I connect to the dock and hit the video button, it just displays all of my music videos in list form. There is no option at the bottom of the screen to choose a playlist, like what you see when you are in music mode. There is also no shuffle option at the top of the screen to select. The only thing I can do is select a specific video and play it, then when it is done it goes back to the music video list where I have to get up and select another video to play. This all has to be done one at a time, and directly from the Touch. Conversely, when I select the playlist while in music mode, it will play the songs, but just displays the album art - no video.
My Touch is at the latest software version. There is an upgrade available to iTunes I haven't done yet, but I didn't think that would matter. Based on my scenario, is there something simple I am overlooking? It sounds like you've been able to accomplish some semblance of playing back multiple videos at once on your TV without having to get up and manually select each one.
Thanks.

My original Apple charger and lightning cable doesn't charge my iphone 5 and ipad 3rd generation.

Both my devices are low in batt and i need to to use it tomorrow for work. Who would compensate my losses???
Pardon me i'm not trying to create a scene here. When i first gotten my iphone 5 (new and sealed) and before upgrading to ios 7, everything works fine. After i upgraded to ios 7, the phone main camera lost its focus after a few days usage. Fortunately the phone is under warranty and was replaced at an authorised lab BUT unfortunately i lost a fair deal of data (sms, whatsapp chat history) along the way, although most of the things have been backed up. Since there is no turning back, there is nothing i could do but to face it. And that's not all...
After a good usage of just 3 weeks, with the exact same charger and cable (both original from that came with the phone), it suddenly failed to charge. I have tried plugging it in and out and still to no avail. By the way i have not mention, the ORIGINAL lightning cable sleeve gave way after just a few weeks use. And do mind that it was HOME USE. Havent been brought out to use roughly.
And guess what, I JUST TRIED PLUGGED THE ORIGINAL LIGHTNING CABLE TO A SAMSUNG CHARGER AND IT WORKED.
I hereby swear to God that every word i said here is nothing but the truth. Not spamming. It has already caused me countless inconvenience but still i will bring the charger and the phone to the authorised lab once again to have it checked, and looking forward to get an explanation.

Both charger and cable are covered under warranty as well. Get them replaced.
Who would compensate my losses???
Nobody

Old Apple dock and composite AV cables

My old iPod with Color display (circa 2005) recently died, so I'm getting a new iPod Touch 4G.
the old iPod could display pictures on the TV as well as play music. I had it in an old style genuine Apple dock and used a genuine Apple Composite AV cable to connect the dock and my home entertainment system so I could show the pictures on the TV and play music through my surround sound system. That old Apple AV cable did not connect through the dock connector but is connected to the dock through a headphone like 3.5mm plug. That old Dock also has an S-Video out
All the original stuff was bought years ago when I made good money... but I lost my job over a year and half ago and just got another after being out of work that long that pays significantly less than I used to make ...
As my old iPod died, after living on shoestring budget so long with NO frills, even though money is still tight, I decided to give myself a gift for the holidays and replace it with a Touch.
I knew i would have to replace my old Apple Firewire chargers (I have 2) and my old 3rd party firewire car charger (in the car I had a line out cable from dock connector as well which I connected to a cassette adaptor for my 9 year old car)..
But figured I could find USB chargers cheaply and could still use the old dock and AV cables (as those were - and still are- outrageously expensive)...
But I've started reading things which I think are saying is that I might not be use my old Apple Dock, and Apple Composite AV cables which is making me nervous.
So ... can I use the old Apple Dock and AV cables for video with the 4g Touch????
There should be no TECHNICAL reason for it not to work... but maybe Apple has gotten a bit more greedy...
If it does not work for video, will at least the audio part of the cable connected to that dock and the s-video out work? I can make that work with what I already have to get audio and video.
If not then I need a lot more new stuff I can't really afford... and will be very very disappointed and angry with Apple... There is no good reason those things should stop working other than purposely sabotaging them to make me have to buy new over priced accessories! I PAYED my apple tax on those already!
Thanks for any info...
A worried karen

Apparently there are at least 3 different Dock model numbers.
The Model number is the most important and can be found on the bottom of the dock.
The part numbers may change due to several things like boxing an AV cable with or without a wall charger. You would probably get the same cable but the part number on the box would be different due to possible other contents inside the box.
1. *iPod Photo Dock* Part# M9868G/A, Model# ?????
with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
2. *iPod Universal Dock* Part# MA045G/A, *Model# A1153*
with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
3. *Apple Universal Dock* Part# MC746LL/A, Model# ?????
with Apple Composite AV Cable Part# MC748AM/A
or Apple Component AV Cable Part# MC917ZM/A
I had both items in #2 above. I still have the iPod Universal Dock and it came in its own box.
No remote, No cable(s), but did come with 5 dock adapters.
I never tried my iPod Touch through the Dock to the TV. I did try the iPod Touch using the older iPod AV Cable to the TV but that did not work and the link above tells us it doesn't. That's why I bought the newer Composite Cable which does work when directly connected to the TV and the iPod Touch.
I gave my older cable away to a friend so I can't test if it would work like the document says or not but like you said, in theory, it should work.
According to the document given above and below, the iPod Touch should work with your Dock you have now even though it doesn't list the 4th generation. (I don't think they have updated this yet)

If you buy a new iPod Touch 4th generation, then I guess the only way you will know for sure is to try it out and let us know here.

Apple TV v5 - optical cable question

If I already have HDMI cable going from the apple tv into my TV, is there any point to getting any optical cable?I know nothing about audio systems, etc, and was wondering if also putting the Optical audio cable from the apple tv into the flat tv or a sound receive will be better for sound?
Right now, I have no sound system...just a sony bravia KDL with an optical port
HDMI Cable going into the tv from the Apple TV, and optical cable plugged into the Apple TV, but was wondering if i should plug it into the bravia as well.

Your TV optical might be an output rather than an input - check the manual.
There will be no appreciable difference between HDMI and optical for audio when connected to the same hardware - some older surround kit (like mine) only has optical not HDMI. Either can handle surround sound or stereo. In my case I have HDMI to TV and optical to amp which has no HDMI.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

Hello. My 1st Generation Apple TV with HDMI cable does not turn on. Its a used model purchased on eBay. I've checked and ensured that the electrical plug works. Is there anyway to manually check to see if the unit turns on or do I have a defective uni

Hope I'm using this forum right. I purchased a 1st Generation Apple TV on eBay. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to turn on. I have another Apple TV (1st Generation) that works flawlessly on another TV. So I tried to use the new unit on this TV with same electrical cord and HDMI cable. No luck. It would not turn on. So I do not know if I have a defective unit or if there's another method of turning on the Apple TV. Again:
1. I double checked and it was on the correct HDMI setting (the other Apple TV worked on it) and used the same cable
2. I double checked that the electrical was correct - again, the other Apple TV worked correct.
Any suggestions on fixing this would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A good indication would be the status light to begin with, it should flash rapidly on start up and then settle down (assuming the status light is working-they have a habit of fading)
The other thing you could try is cycling the resolutions in case the previous user has left it on a setting that your TV doesn't support.
Press and hold both the 'menu' and '+' on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
Press '+'or '-' on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
Pause a couple of seconds after each press for the Apple TV to accept your selection.
When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and “If you can see the Apple logo, select OK” appears on your TV screen, press 'select' .
If that doesn't help, I fear the Apple TV is defective.

How do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system prefer

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

How can i use apple tv and iTunes movies with component video cables for an older receiver and projector?

i have an older yamaha receiver and projector both without hdmi inputs but component video instead. I would like to get apple tv and start renting movies through iTunes but apple tv only supports hdmi and ive read that iTunes has codes to prevent the use ot analog cables with movies. Is there a way to adapt hdmi to component video for both apple tv and iTunes easily?

Yes, HDMI is the only supported method. Also, with converters you will run into issues with HDCP (which will prevent you from streaming DRM content from iTunes etc) as well as resolution.

I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

Apple TV worked until today. Message says unsupported signal check your output device. I have checked hdmi cable with another device and it's fine. Put on a different tv and same message. Went out yesterday and bought a new Apple TV and same problem.

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
Thanks for any help! Regards

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

My Apple TV is locked on a screen with iTune icon and USB cable and is not let me move to any other screen

I bought Apple TV 3rd generation a couple days ago. It was no problem in the first day.
I freshly installed iTunes on my computer and tried to learn about Home Share. Next day,it was locked this screen and I cannot move any other screen. The LED light on the front is glitting in fast. I've tried,
1. Holding 'Menu' and 'down' butten for reset.
2. Disconnecting power cable
3. Turning off the router
After that if I reconnect to TV, it shows same.
Please help me...

Welcome to the Apple Community Dongchun.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
