Have Sony HDTV bought in 2003;the video in/out thingy doesn't fit the apple tv prong.  What can I buy and where to modify so I can plug in Apple HDMI cable?

I have a 2002 Sony HDTV "ready" tv and am trying to hook up Apple TV2.  On the back of the tv, the connection point where the HDMI cable goes in does not match the Apple connection HDMI cable.  I'm guessing that I need some sort of connector that goes into the tv at one end and that will accept the Apple tv 30-pin HDMI cable  Is there such a thing?  What's it called and where can I buy it?  Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV specifications state clearly that a TV with HDMI connection is required. DVI is not necessarily going to work as a number of people have found out, although many others have been able to get it to work.
A DVI cable may perform the same function as an HDMI cable for passing video signals but the hardware cards that it plugs into at each end may not.

  • Code to derive the Work Week (ISO IW doesn't fit the requirement)

    I could use some assistance with my pl/sql code to derive the work week from the current date.
    If January 1st lands on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, the work week for January 1st is '53'. If January 1st lands on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the work week for January 1st is '1'.
    I think I have the logic down, but my pl/sql is admittedly weak.
    This is what I have thus far:
    create or replace procedure work_week_fn (work_week DATE) IS
    first_year_day INTEGER;
    my_work_week INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    SELECT '01-JAN-'||to_char(to_date(sysdate, 'DD-MON-RR'), 'YY') into first_year_day from dual;
    SELECT to_char(to_date(sysdate, 'DD-MON-RR'), 'WW') into my_work_week from dual;
    IF first_year_day IN ('SUNDAY','MONDAY','TUESDAY','WEDNESDAY') THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(my_work_week);
    ELSE dbms_output.put_line(my_work_week + 1);
    END IF;
    END;
    It's compiling, but I'm not getting the result I need. Any suggestions?

    Hi tk,
    I'm not able to reproduce.

    Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

  • We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.  If it's already unlocked skip to step 2.  This works and will work even if you update the phone. 
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point.  If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can.  I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

    When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

    If you are using the Creative cloud app to do the install in the upper right hand corner there is a Gear looking icon. Click on that and select preferences then go to the Apps tab and you can select which drive any and all Adobe software installs to. I suggest you included the folder also. Mine look like this.
    D:\Programs Files\Adobe
    All the creative Cloud Apps then get installed to the D drive in the Program Files folder in a Sub-folder called Adobe. They are then installed to another Sub-folder for whichever program they are, IE Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom and so on.
    If you are installing the Stand Alone versions then at one point during the initial install system you are given a choice to do a Custom or Advanced install and you have to choose that option then you can select which drive and folders to install to.

  • When I export to QT movie, the video on a slide doesn't play and no playbac

    I have a .mov file as content on one of my slides. when i play the file within keynote it works beautifully. the video plays as directed (either on click or automatically, depending how i set it up), and when the mouse hovers over the movie you get playback controls. When i export the presentation to QT, it no longer works. HELP!! i need to send thsi file out and now it looks like i'll have to spend all night recreating it in with a different application!
    I have checked the box for embedding teh movie files. not sure what else to do.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks much

    ok -- i think i get it now:
    it can't be set to Hyperlinks only (as that disabled the automatic playing of hte video, and it didn't recognize the 'click to play' option either).
    and there's no controls for playback at all.
    looks like if i want to give it the look of a still image that will play on click, i actually need one page with only the image and a link to 'play video' which actually takes you to a different page with the video that automatically begins to play (at least i'll try that next.)
    thank you very much

    Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

  • HT4108 What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4.  Left and right audio works ok

    What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4   The left and right audio works ok

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

    Even so, there is no way to "save" a file anyway. The only way to keep it is to keep the email with it attached. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there is a way to add a video this way into the Videos app.
