ATV's USB port

Hi all,
If I connect a regular Apple Universal Dock to the ATV’s USB port (in order to charge my iPod Touch):
- Will the Dock receive power ?
- Will inserting the Touch for charging interfere in any way with the ATV or
vice versa ?
Thanks for your insight.

i believe you may get power from the USB to charge your ipod.
it will not affect anything as the USB port has no end-user function at all.

Can i upload photos directly to ATV via USB port

Hello,
Can I upload photos directly onto ATV via the USB port on the back of the ATV. In other words is it possible to bypass the computer and iTunes? I've been trying but can't figure it out.
Thanks

The short answer is no. All ATV content has to come from either an iTunes library or directly from the iTunes store on the ATV. The USB port on the ATV is essentially useless to the end user. About the only thing it's good for is to connect a USB fan if your equipment cabinet is too hot.

What are the usb ports for

Why does atv have usb ports does it suport an external hard drive?If not what are they on the unit for. Thanks

The USB port is for servicing and maintenance only.

USB port on atv

Instead of using a hack, and voiding warranty. Does anyone know if Apple intends on developing a patch to allow a external HD to be connected via the USB port. My 160gb atv is almost maxed.

No one here will have any idea of what Apple has up their sleeves.
It is quite feasible to enable it, and seems an obvious, useful thing to do, but in terms of AppleTV's media listings would add another layer of complexity with regard to where things are stored and whether or not synced items are on the internal or an external HD. So while on the face of it, it would be easy, it might add more complexity.
Make an enhancement request here:

There's no harm trying.
With regard to running out of space, is there any reason you couldn't stream new stuff to AppleTV?

With the original ATV is there a way to use the usb port with external hard drive?

Is there a way to use the usb with ATV1 and external hard drive?

I have the same question and refuse to beleive that Apple would put the USB port there for a HD and not be able to use it for that purpose.

Can USB port be used for USB fan power?

I’m considering helping with the heat issue by getting a Targus 2 fan laptop chill pad. On sale at walmart.com for about $16 + shpg.
Problem is that it is powered by USB and I don’t know if the USB port on the ATV will supply the minimal power that it requires.
Anyone have a clue about this?
24” iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2.33/2GB RAM/256MBV/500/WIKM

Please forgive my impatience with this question.
I remembered that I have a Kensington light. Fly light I think it is called. Anyway, I hooked it to the ATV and it worked.
So the answer to my post, yes it does supply power. Sorry that I didn’t think to check it before posting.

On Apple TV. Can the USB port be used for a keyboard and mouse interface

A bluetooth keyboard can be used with the Apple TV.
There is no need for a mouse with an ATV.

My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

Hi everyone,
     I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

Syncing music with USB port 1.1

I just got an iPod classic 160GB, but it doesn't communicate with my computer properly.
I tried to put some songs to the new iPod, but after syncing 20 songs I got the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "(iPod name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I called AppleCare to solve the problem, and the guy told me that I need to upgrade the USB port from 1.1 to 2.0.
Does anybody know if I really need to upgrade my USB port to 2.0?
I read some of the topics on this discussion page and some people were saying that the USB 1.1 works with iPod classics.
I also want to know if any of the transfer cables which convert FireWire to USB2.0 works with iPods.
I don't want to spend any more money to upgrade my computer to make it work with my iPod.
(I had to upgrade OS)
Please help me to get my iPod work!!

The USB port on your Cinema is a port on the built-in hub in the display. It can't supply the power needed by the iPhone.

My new 8th gen iPod nano is 'not recognized' by my computer. My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting...

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
Thanks

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

IPod is not recognized by my computer's usb port and itunes

Remove my ipod from the computer without ejecting it and now the ipod want turn on, it is not being recognized by my computer's usb port or itune. I have reinstalled itune and still have the same problems.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Non grounded HP Laptop have electrical feeling on usb ports

I am living here in the Philippines now and have brought my Hp laptop dv9000. Whenever I turn on the laptop with the AC I get this electrical feeling in the usb ports. When I run with the battery I feel no electricity. Since the AC can take a 100-240V input, the outlets here in the Philippines are 240V, it shouldnt have any problems. But the charger has a 3rd prong that is used as a ground, but the wall outlet only has 2.
To better understand by setup: 1. the electrical outlet has 2 prongs that lets out 240V, 2. I have and AVR (automatic voltage regulator) so I can lower the voltage for my, 3. UPS (uninterrupted power supply) that only takes in 110V. I plug in my AC charger to the UPS to power my computer.
So my question is what can I do now to stop the the electricity coming out of the usb ports? Do I need to install a grounded socket?

Have you tried restarting the laptop? Many times we get simply put the machine to sleep or hibernate- a full shutdown/restart can help with usb problems.
You might also try disabling "USB Selective suspend" in your Power Options plan.

How do I get rid of error code 2001/2006? My phone is in recovery mode. I have tried several different cords, all USB ports, my macbook, and a friends PC. This is the second time my phone has done this, the first time it was an easy fix.

I have an iPhone 4. It is in great condition, always protected. A couple months ago, it randomly went black and wouldn't turn on. I put it in recovery mode, plugged it in to my MacBook Pro and would get error code 2001 then I'd get error code 2006. I read some different forums and many people said to try using a different USB port and different cords. The last cord I tried, worked and my phone was back. Last night, my phone did the same exact thing. So I used the same method I used last time, however nothing has worked. I tried plugging it in to a PC and that didn't work either. This seems like a hopeless problem that's going to continue to happen. Any advice?

Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
Hope this helps!!

Problems with USB port and song transferring;

Hi! I just got an iPod and I am having problems with it. My computer doesn't have a Hi-Speed USB port, even if it's 9 months old. Some of my friends don't have it either but they still are able to transfer songs onto their iPod. For mine, it keeps saying "Do Not Disconnect." I waited for 5 hours last time I got it and it still isn't working.
I also updated my iPod software today and the iPod icon isn't appearing on the bar to the left in iTunes. I'd really appreciate any help on this! As well as if I really need to do something about the ports or if it could function like this normally.
