AppleTV v2 works with one TV but not another... ideas?

I just got a new TV (my girlfriend decided a 27" CRT TV was a bad idea, and got me a 24" Vizio LCD).  I already had an AppleTV hooked up to the LCD TV in the living room (I share a house with two friends).  It worked fine in the living room!
I decided to check things out, took the AppleTV into my bedroom with all the cords, attached it to the new TV, turned it all on... and the AppleTV started up, but was completely unresponsive to the remote.  No flicker from the blue-light, nothing.  I pulled the power cord, counted twenty seconds, plugged back in... nothing.  Still no response to the remote.
Hit the menu and down-arrow, waited ten seconds, the blue-light flickered, I released and it restarted... to give me nothing.  Still no other response to the remote.
Turned off the TV, disconnected the HDMI cord, waited about ten seconds, reconnected the cable and turned on the TV... nothing.
Took the ATV, with the same power cord and HDMI cable, reconnected to the older TV that it was attached to... no problem!  Just fine!
Any ideas?  I may consider getting a second ATV for my bedroom, but if there's going to be weirdness like this I may not do it.
I couldn't check any of the AppleTV's settings on the new TV, due to the lack of any kind of working connection, so I don't know what it was coming up as.

  • Home sharing works with one account but not another?

    My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

    Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

  • Video works with one friend but not another?? please HELP!

    my ichat video isn't connecting with my friend christina. we've taken turns calling each other and my computer keeps saying "no data has been received in 10 seconds" i can hear the ringing and then when we go to connect thats when the message comes up and cancels the call. at the same exact time my other friend sam was online so to test out my video chat i called her. & it worked. christina also connected with sam separately & that worked. then we tried a conference where all 3 of us could chat, and sam started it and invited both of us. it worked and we could all talk & see each other. however for some reason i can't connect to just christina. what's going on?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    iChat can have several messages on a failed chat.
    The "No Data for 10 Secs" one only appears on chats that connect (even if you don't see the Video)
    Basically it point to an issues between iChat at the Internet.
    The same Result can be achieved by pulling the Ethernet cable out or turning the Airport card off or powering down the modem or router.
    So we have to look at what can produce a similar break in the Internet connection without the drastic steps above.
    Some modem and router have "protection" features that will do this.
    Denial of Service (DoS) tries to make sure any data that come to your Computer does so at a rate it can handle.
    It was originally designed to protect Web Servers from "attacks" where too many requests coming to frequently used to bring servers and their Internet connections to halt.
    So Dos is threshold based,. It will cut any port that it thinks there is an "Attack" on.
    Video chats can send lots of data.
    These thresholds that are preset in the device tend to be set at Web page streaming speeds (allowing for multiple requests on popular servers) - but also at older Internet Speeds.
    Modern Speeds and things like iChat Streaming two way Video can mean that certain Buddies can send you data faster than the threshold is set for particularly with iChat 5.
    Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) works differently but can only process a certain amount of data and will cut the port that is causing it to be overloaded making it Threshold based as well.
    There is no way to change the thresholds involved so the best course of action is to Disable the feature.
    So the Speed Sam has to send you Video may be lower than that of Christine and not bump into the threshold.
    If Sam is the Host then it the Speed of that Internet Connection that governs how fast Data is sent to you.
    One solution is to cap iChat in iChat > Preferences > Audio/Video Menu to 500kbps on the all Buddies involved.
    If this solve the issue between you and Christine then you can move on to your Modem or router.

  • Implicit read with assembly module instance working on one computer, but not another

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up an on-site computer to run a VI which uses assembly instances for data communication, but for some reason I'm unable to establish a connection to the PLC.
    I'm running the example vi "CreateAssemblyInstance.vi" to try and get the communication set up before I start using my actual program.
    When I run this code on my development machine, I'm able to establish a connection to the PLC and read data. I then go into RSLogix 5000 and change the IP address to the on-site machine and try to run the test VI there, but I'm unable to make a connection. LabVIEW-side, the program thinks that it's established a connection and is reading/writing data, but PLC-side I'm getting a "Connection Failed" message in RSLogix.
    I find it weird that LabVIEW thinks the connection was established just fine, which the RSLogix says it can't connect to the VI.
    Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. We aren't sure why the same VI runs on one machine but not another. We used RSLogix to change the IP address of the target machine, so we don't think that's the issue. And both computers are on the same network, so we don't think it's a firewall issue either.
    LabVIEW-side, things should be identical. I'm running the same example VI that came with the Ethernet/IP module. PLC-side, we're changing the target IP of the module within RSLogix 5000 (and we're sending the updated information to the PLC) to match the machine we're trying to make a connection with. Are we missing any steps? This is the first time we've tried using an assembly module, so we're having a hard time troubleshooting.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?

    I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
    I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
    We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
    Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period    Possible reason(s):  Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
    I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

  • Enterprise Mgr works with one db but not the other

    Hi
    We have two Oracle 10g databases installed. Enterprise Manager works with the second, but not the first. I believe the problem started when we migrated the host server to another network domain. Everything else works fine, but I'm getting a page load failure when attempting to access enterprise mgr.
    The second db was installed after the migration and EM works fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to reconfigure this?
    Thank you

    by any change hostname or ip was changed during migration
    also can u paste the emoms.trc ?

  • Why does new Skype work with one user, and not another?

    Running 19.4.5, I installed the latest version of Skype. (I do not activate it on login) This opens, but crshes/unexspectedly quits on "sign in". I tried the same with a "new user", and the app opened fine. I compared the two users to make sure that Skype was correctly featured in my usual user. No difference. Still crashes.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be conflicting with Skype?

    Right, problem solved! . Am posting this as it may help in future. I use a useful little app called Window Dragon,(a haxie) which helps resize windows with the mouse. This was causing the conflict, but had not with earlier versions of Skype. All I had to do was exclude Window Dragon from working with the new updated version of Skype and everything back to normal.
    Solutions to apps that "quit unexpectedly" or crash often mention that haxies can often come into conflict with apps. So best to start with any haxies one has installed, disable, test etc..

  • Downloading a file via a procedure works in one app but not another

    Obviously I've overlooked something. I have this procedure (following). It works in one application that has been running for a couple years. It is called from Column Link with this value #OWNER#.DOWNLOAD_ATTACHED_FILES?p_file=#DOWNLOAD_LINK#

  • Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

    MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
    Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

    HI Bob,
    You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
    Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

  • Identical actionscript works in one frame but not another...?

    Hi all,
    I'm working on this electronic sheep creator for my Masters
    degree (don't ask haha..) which is online at
    [url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/[/url] . The problem I'm having
    is that a piece of actionscript I'm using for saving the sheep as a
    jpg using BitmapData works in one frame with one movie clip but not
    in another frame..
    In frame 1 I create two movie clips - mc_modifysheep and
    mc_dna:
    [CODE]on(release) {
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_modifysheep", 1)
    mc_modifysheep._x = 150;
    mc_modifysheep._y = 70;
    mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_body", "body", 1, {_x:42,
    _y:65});
    mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_head", "head", 2, {_x:0,
    _y:0});
    mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_legs", "legs", 3, {_x:77,
    _y:215});
    _global.bodycolour = "default";
    _global.headcolour = "default";
    _global.legscolour = "default";
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_dna", 2)
    mc_dna._x = 0;
    mc_dna._y = 0;
    mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_DNA_empty", "DNA empty", 1, {_x:8,
    _y:360});
    mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_top", "top", 2,
    {_x:45, _y:374});
    mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_right", "right",
    3, {_x:65, _y:400});
    mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_left", "left", 4,
    {_x:32, _y:401});
    gotoandstop(2);
    }[/CODE]
    the sheep in 'mc_modifysheep' and the dna in 'mc_dna' are
    built up over frames 2 and 3 and then in frame 4 the user decides
    whether the sheep is given freedom or captivity. If freedom is
    chosen then the user is prompted to name their sheep and the movie
    clip mc_modifysheep is saved as a jpg on the server using
    BitmapData and PHP. If captivity is chosen then the user is
    prompted to name the dna and the movie clip mc_dna is meant to be
    saved as a jpg on the server but only a white blank jpg is
    produced, not what is contained in mc_dna.. I've tried all sorts
    but I can't figure out why it's doing this..
    Here's the code I'm using, that works, to save the
    mc_modifysheep:
    [CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
    btn_freedom.onPress = function() {
    freedom();
    function freedom() {
    snap_sheep = new BitmapData(305, 290);
    snap_sheep.draw(mc_modifysheep);
    var pixels:Array = new Array();
    var w:Number = snap_sheep.width;
    var h:Number = snap_sheep.height;
    var a:Number = 0;
    var sn:String = txt_Freedom.text;
    high = 99999;
    low = 00000;
    ran =
    Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
    var rn:Number = ran
    var filename:String = dn+sn;
    for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
    for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
    var tmp = snap_sheep.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
    pixels.push(tmp);
    var freedomoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    freedomoutput.img = pixels.toString();
    freedomoutput.height = h;
    freedomoutput.width = w;
    freedomoutput.filename_sheep = filename;
    freedomoutput.send("save_sheep.php", "_self", "POST");
    stop();[/CODE]
    and here's the near identical code apart from different
    variable/movieclip names I'm using to try and save (but failing)
    mc_dna:
    [CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
    btn_capt.onPress = function() {
    capt();
    function capt() {
    snap_dna = new BitmapData(305, 290);
    snap_dna.draw(mc_dna);
    var pixels:Array = new Array();
    var w:Number = snap_dna.width;
    var h:Number = snap_dna.height;
    var a:Number = 0;
    var dn:String = txt_Capt.text;
    high = 99999;
    low = 00000;
    ran =
    Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
    var rn:Number = ran
    var filename:String = dn+rn;
    for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
    for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
    var tmp = snap_dna.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
    pixels.push(tmp);
    var captoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    captoutput.img = pixels.toString();
    captoutput.height = h;
    captoutput.width = w;
    captoutput.filename_dna = filename;
    captoutput.send("save_dna.php", "_self", "POST");
    stop();[/CODE]
    I know it's a problem with the flash and not the PHP as I've
    tested for that, definately in the flash. I just don't understand
    how the same code can capture mc_modifysheep, but not mc_dna.
    argh!!!
    If you need to take a look at the FLA file it's up at
    [url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/dohumansdream.fla[/url]
    Thanks everyone!!

    If you dont find anything specific, a lot of the problems i
    encounter like this are because one little thing is spelled wrong.
    like it doesnt match whats in your php file, ect. my suggestion,
    though a long one, if you know its supposed to work, and theres no
    syntax error, re type it, not copy and paste, and just be careful.
    keep tripple checking. you might not even find what was spelled
    wrong, but it might fix the situation,

  • Magic Trackpad works with one iMac ..not another?

    I have both an earlier Intel iMac and a 27", i5 iMac .. the Magic trackpad is a wonder. I love it, but I have lost contact with my 27" ... there seems to be nothing I can do for it to make contact?!   I've done all sorts of fixes, but neither Bluetooth nor the trackpad window in the Sys. Prefs will see it.
    I have read references to people saying; "Make it a favorite."  I do not know what that means, nor how to do it.   I was just going to buy another Trackpad, but this works fine with my intel iMac.  As soon as I walk in the other room - I can use it. 
    I'd appreciate a little advice.  Thanks.
    Jim

    Jim,
    The trackpad can be paired with multiple machines but Connected to only one.  When it's connected the other machine will ignore it and even refuse to pair.
    If the macs are in seperate rooms at least 33 ft way you can do it by powering off the trackpad (this will disconnect from mac1), walk to the other room and power on. Mac2 should grab it.  If your too close it's possible Mac 1 will grab it again.

  • Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

    Hi,
    For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
    I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
    Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
    thanks,
    Steve

    HI,
    For user A on my computer
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install the most recent version of Flash here.
    Now repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
    If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

  • Application works for one user but not another......Please help

    Hi just wondering if anyone can help.
    We have an app (get i_player automator) that we have been successfully using for the last year or so.  The other day our internet connection died mid download and the app stopped responding. 
    Rather than force quit darling hubby did something fancy with the terminal window (not entirely sure what but I remember kill, bash and gerlp??). 
    Anyway since then the app will start appear in the doc (bouncing happily up and down) but no window will open.  This happens just on my log in.  If I ctrl click the application is listed as not responding.
    The app works correctly for other users on the same machine.
    I have tried the following to no avail
    Turning off and on again
    Deleting the app and re installing
    Any ideas?

    Most applications work user-per-user, maybe your darling has to do some more of that magic in the Terminal on your account?

  • WDTHEMEROOT works in one client but not another

    I'm looking at using the WDTHEMEROOT application parameter to set a theme. I've set it to 'sap-chrome' in our development client and that works fine when I test the application. When I log into another client on the same system, however, the WDTHEMEROOT  parameter has no effect. I'm guessing there is a setting in the first client but not in the second but I don't know what that might be. Any ideas ?
    thanks,
    Malcolm.

    Well,
    I guess my excitement was shortlived. I changed the theme and did whatever the note suggested. It worked!
    But then I changed it back to 'sap_chrome' and did all that the note suggested - it did not work. I am now stuck with the new incomplete theme and am  not able to change it back to what it was earlier.
    Any Help?
    Thanks,

  • Have had crashes with one computer but not another. one that crashes has adobe flash payer 15 active x installed. should I uninstall it

    I have two dell computers - one with 7 and one with 8. have numerous crashes on 7 but not 8. noticed Adobe flash player 15 active x is installed on 7 but not 8. is this the problem. should I uninstall it?

    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
    into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
    You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
    installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
    you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
    '''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
    '''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
    everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

  • Script works for one frame but not another

    I set up 2 keyframes, each one loads a different text file
    into a dynamic text box. The text box for the first keyframe is
    named "session" and the text box for the second keyframe is named
    "oneptq". The text file for the first text box is named Titles.txt
    and the text file for the second keyframe is 100Q.txt. The code I'm
    using is identical (except for the respective names of the text
    boxes and text files) but for some reason the text will load in the
    first text box but not the second.
    Here's my AS for the first keyframe:
    lvLoader = new LoadVars();
    lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
    if(success)
    session.text = lvLoader.textbody;
    lvLoader.load("Titles.txt");
    And my AS for the second keyframe:
    lvLoader = new LoadVars();
    lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
    if(success)
    oneptq.text = lvLoader.textbody;
    lvLoader.load("100Q.txt");
    I can't figure this thing out. Please help. Thanks.

    Have you double checked that it's a DYNAMIC text box? Maybe
    it was accidentally swapped by to static at some point...
