Trouble with Apple TV Model A1378

I bought this in late 2011 and it worked fine until the last few months.  Let me also say that I had to get the hard drive for my iMAC replaced recently.  I have a lot of photos in iPhoto - most of these come from the Internet - old, vintage photos.  At first, the photos displayed just fine on the iMAC and on the Apple TV.  However, at some point, a number of the photos that had previously displayed properly on the Apple TV would no longer do so.  The photos were very distorted and stretched to the point of being unrecognizeable.  However, they continued to display correctly on the iMAC. 
I thought this might clear up after replacing the hard drive, but it did not.  I ended up trashing a bunch of the photos after pulling my hair out trying to figure out which ones they were.  I am guessing that the problem was related to the defective hard drive, but I'm not positive.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen?  If so, do you know why it happens?
Thanks

    How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts?  I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

    Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

    Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • Having trouble with apple tv device!!

    Having trouble with my apple tv device. Bought just before Christmas so practically brand new. Only used about 6 times. When I went to turn on today the light on the box is flashing and its asking to connect my hdmi cable to what looks like an itunes icon. Ive checked the hdmi cable in the skybox and its working perfectly. any thoughts????

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    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)

  • Having trouble with apple tv it will not respond to commands

    I cannot get my apple tv to respond to commands. I've turned it off repeatedly and thought maybe it was my harmony remote that controls all of my devices but I tried the apple tv remote and it doesn't respond to that either.  Anybody else having trouble with this?

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Trouble with Apple Mail retrieving Yahoo Mail (OS 10.10-Yosemite)

    I recently installed Yosemite and Apple/Mac Mail will not work or retrieve my yahoo mail. I can receive my gmail just fine. I've checked all of my settings, used the "mail doctor", taken the account offline and then online again, rebuilt the mailbox and tried to synchronize the account. Nothing seems to work. Oddly enough the program seems to work intermittently (it worked for a few days when I first installed Yosemite then stopped retrieving my yahoo mail and again randomly over this past weekend, but is now back to not pulling any yahoo email). I can read my yahoo emails online just fine, fyi. I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
    PS: I've also downloaded another mail client, called Postbox, which retrieves my yahoo mail just fine, but the program is severely limited and very quirky (search function doesn't work well, difficult to view and arrange your email without it having problems, etc.).

    jgallag/Larry:
    I, too, have been having this problem with yahoo mail not loading into mac mail.  It has been a persistent problem that I have had to close my mail program and reopen to get emails to come in - this was way before yosemite.  But after upgrading to yosemite, I've had more troubling issues.  I have 2 yahoo mail accounts, a primary account and a special use account.  Right after loading the new upgrade, the special use account was unable to send emails via mac mail.  I could send them from the yahoo server online, and from my iphone, but not from my laptop (mac air).  Two days ago, emails stopped loading into the mac mail program primary yahoo account.  I could send emails, but I could not receive them.  I tried all of the things you also did and suggested, to no avail.  I have found that shutting the system down and rebooting was enough in the past to "wake up" the yahoo account/mac mail account interface, but not this time.  This time, it took moving the laptop to another state and another server to refresh the connection and permit emails to load (I headed out for a business trip today, and emails came in when I reached the hotel).  I did not turn off my computer, just put it in sleep mode during the flight, but apparently a change of scenery is what it wanted.  It would be nice if Larry or someone could either fix this problem or help us navigate through it more efficiently - two days is too long to not load any emails. 

  • Trouble with Apple Wireless networks

    I have aan extended wireless network in our house, across four apple wireless devices: Time Capsule (which is the lead device), an airport extreme (dual-band), an airport extreme (dual band II) and an Airport Express 802.11n.
    The dual-band II is a new device and since I have incorporated it i have had issues with the wireless network that only seem to be solved if we turn the Express off.  The Express is in a Kitchen, which is beneath a study where the Extreme dual band II is.
    Does anyone have any idea why there might be a problem (seems like some kind of wave interference) and how i solve it.  I put the express in the kitchen so I could connect it to a Sonos device, which then allows me to use airplay with the Sonos.
    Regards
    Edward

    Since all of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, you can only have one base station that will be extended. You can have more than one to extend it. So, in this case, the two 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn) & the AXn would be attempting to extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC).
    Think of it as the TC is at the hub of a wheel and each of the extending base station would be on individual spokes of that wheel. The issue here would be the farther away an extending base station is, the less bandwidth that will be available at that part of the extended network ... and possibly why you are getting the results that you are.
    By default, the AXn (or any AirPort will not be set to extend a network. You would have to set this as an option within the AirPort Utility. If you didn't already do this for the AXn, then it would be in its default configuration of a wireless router that would be broadcasting its own wireless network ... and NOT extending the TC's network.

  • Trouble with Apple ID and iCloud's "Back to My Mac"

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. The first time I turn my Mac on, the System Preferences window opens on iCloud preferences. Everything seems sormal, except that the "Back to My Mac" option can't be activated because it asks me my password.
    The problem is that it asks me to enter the Apple ID password for an older Apple ID email instead of my current Apple ID email
    Some background: I used to have ([email protected]) as my Apple ID, but changed it to ([email protected]) some time ago. Back to My Mac is asking me the password for the oldemail@email Apple ID, which should not exist anymore
    I tried the "forgot" option, but no email is sent to neither [email protected] nor [email protected] and if i try the "answer security question", I enter my birth date, but it says its doesnt match te records...
    Thanks for your help!

    iCloud is not what I was hoping it would be.
    Disappointed is an understatement.

  • Trouble with Apple ID verification e-mail

    I am wanting to set up the "Track my IPhone" app and add a second Mac to my devices in Icloud, but it keeps telling me to verify my account. I have sent the verifcation e-mail about 10 times now and each time when it says "Verify Now>" there is no link for me to click on. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

    There's a way to retrieve your email verification link if this happens to you:
    1. Open the the blank email
    2. Hit ctrl+U- this will bring up the source code for the original email. Even though you cant see it showing up its still there.
    3. Scroll down towards the bottom of the source code to line 524-
    4. Slowly scroll to right and you will see the "Dear *Your Name*
    5. On line 525 a bit to the left of that you will see : "You recently initiated a password reset for your Apple ID. To complete the process, click the link below. "
    6. The link is on line 526 and begins with <a href="https://iforgot.apple.com/verify/ema- etc.
    7. Copy that link into a new internet window and hit enter- *Do Not Click the Link*
    This should allow you to get to the reset password screen and finish the process. As long as it is still in the time frame from when the email was sent. I think 1hour.  This worked for me, I was using a pc at the time though, didn't try it on a mac. Let me know if this helps you. Apple let me know if I can have a job!

  • Troubles with Apple ID's

    Hi
    The following happens after migrating to iCoud with my Apple ID (former @mac)
    On my MacBook iCoud first Apple ID is @me, (all required Synch services are available)
    On my i OS 5 iPhone 4 I cant set my Apple ID to @me, the unit always reset to my secondary Apple ID @mac. Funny wise, all the possibilities to synch are presented, which should only be possible when the account is started with the first Apple ID. I nearly tried everything, logged off from the APP Store, restart the phone and entered serval time in different sequence the Appel ID. Nothing helps.
    Anybody has a idea, pleas?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Just did it, signed off @mac and signed in with @me. Unfortunately after sign in process the App Store or iTunes show the @mac account not the @me account.

  • Trouble with Apple Repair Service

    Hi All,
    Anyone know how to get in touch with customer service at Apple? I had to bring my iMac in for service related to the power problem recall (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/). Was told it woulod take 2-3 days. Now a week later I still have not gotten it back and the Apple Store has been zero help. I kinda get the feeling that they haven't even started it yet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I need my mac back for Monday,when graduate school resumes.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    All Apple phone numbers are listed at the bottom of every page under Contact Us.
    Keep in mind that the store might not have the parts to fix your Mac, so that could be the delay. When my iMac went in for the PSU and midplane replacement, it took 3 days.
