4:3 picture, no sound

I had a 1st gen ATV and it worked just fine. I bought a new ATV to get the MLB video. I brought it home, connected it exactly the same as the previous (HDMI to HDMI receiver, optical to optical in receiver, receiver to TV HDMI-->DVI) and no sound and only 4:3 picture.
I had updated to the new software right away, no help. It did bring the flickering, though.
I contacted Apple they said it was bad device so I exchanged it. Same results, but this time I didn't update the software and no flickering.
My receiver is a Sony STR DG510 and the TV is a Sony KP-51WS510. Both are fully HDCP and HD compliant.
Any ideas?

From your original post, I gather that you do NOT have a flickering problem with the replacement ATV. Re your complaint about 4:3 picture, I think that's the default for Extra Innings from MLB.com. At least that's what I see on my computer. Since ATV uses the same MLB feed via the internet, I suspect that's the limit with Apple TV also. I subscribe to the regular MLB internet feed. There is a premium package for $20 more that might include a 5:3 picture, but I doubt it.
I definitely do not understand your sound problem. Routing an HDMI cable through a home theater system as far as I understand is just a pass through. If you didn't do ANYTHING else, I would think you would be able to hear the sound through your stereo speakers.
I'm getting my new ATV later today and after I hook it up, I'll let you know definitely about the 4:3 verses the 5:3 issue.

Connecting a macbook to a tv: correct cables, still no picture or sound

I have the correct cables connected securely and I have no picture or sound displaying on the tv. The mac screen "blinks" once when I unplug the adapter, so it is aware that it is connected to something.
Current setup: 2010 13" Macbook--> Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter --> VGA Display cable --> Toshiba TV.
Also: Macbook--> Stereo Mini to RCA Y Cable --> TV.
If I hit system pref--> displays --> detect displays, nothing happens. The tv is showing its default "I have no dvd in me so I will do nothing" screen. I have tried changing the channel and input on the tv, restarting my computer, turning the TV on/off, unpluging and repluging cables, all to no avail. The tv plays dvds just fine and is otherwise in working order as far as I know. What's wrong here?

Input button already tried. It doesn't do anything.
New thing: a display icon has now appeared on the top of the screen. I selected "turn on mirroring" which my television has blatantly ignored. No progress.
Also: guy at Best Buy seemed pretty sure that the RCA cable mentioned previously would do the job for sound, not that that is working either.

Insert picture and sound without external sources

how can we insert pictures and sound without using external sources??
i mean , i want to make the picture somehow embeded inside the program, not from external source,
can any1 help?/

I sense that what you need to do is create a Jar (java archive) file for your code and images and any other resources. Do a search on the forum for the terms -- jar pictures getresource -- and you'll get a ton of helpful threads. Also check Google. Some useful links:

Yikes, Box is Working but no picture or sound...tv guide is showing current though....

Ok, I checked the tv, it works fine with vcr, so the pic and audio is good. the box is functioning, changing channels and such. the guide comes on to tell you what is on at that time and shows current, but no picture or sound....whats up with this??? I am in FL. Thanks for any help!

You might want to check your Fios TV page on the website to see if it says "Your STB record cannot be found". I started having this problem today. Everything was fine last night. I got forwarded from Verizon to somewhere else where they were supposed to add my boxes back in. The individual said it was done and I should have the picture back momentarily. I waited 1 and a half hours. Called back. gave them the "M" numbers for my 2 boxes. They said it would take up to 24 hours to get the picture back. Unfortunately that doesn't help me when their is boxing on tonight that I want to watch. If it is not fixed in time for football tomorrow I am not going to be happy.

No picture only sound...

Up until 6 hours ago I was able to play youtube videos now I cant in firefox I have no problem playing them in google chrome or IE .But if I am in firefox all I get is a black screen no picture ,no sound, no bar at the bottom. Need suggestion

I am not able to play youtube videos. No picture no sound

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Movie has no picture or sound

I just bought star trek on blueray and it came with a digital copy of the movie.. which i downloaded to itunes.
I havent used this program for years.. but when i play the movie no picture or sound come up, but the timer is running like its playing something.
other than the cover and the chapter pictures i see no movies whatsoever

I've got a similar problem with downloaded movies. The timer runs, the chapters show up and the title of the movies but no audio or video. Contacted iTunes support where I got little to no support. Have done a clean removal and reinstall of iTunes and Quicktime but still nothing. I have a couple of older movies in my library that do play fine so problem seems to be in recent downloading? Corruption? Have tried 3 different downloaded and still nothing! paying for movies I can not watch is getting old fast!

No picture or sound on downloaded video from iTunes

I recently purchased a video from the iTunes store and I searched the forums for nearly an hour and couldn't find anything that helped. The file was rather large (2.18 GB). When it had "finished" it had an error mesage next to it "Network Connection Refused" or something along those lines. After that, it did not automatically load the videos into my "purchased" playlist. I had to manually track down the finished downloaded file on my hard drive. I added the file to my library in iTunes just fine, but if I try to play the video from iTunes (or after I loaded it onto my iPod for that matter)I just get a gray picture and no sound, yet the movie slider is showing the 3:07:55 and is moving as if a movie is playing. I haven't had any trouble with this in the past with music videos or podcasts or anything like that and I have sufficient space on my hard disk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Dell Inspiron 1501 Windows XP Laptop

I have all the drivers updated for Vista Business (I have switched from XP Pro to Vista Business since I posted). When I had XP Pro all my drivers were up to date as well. I have had several videos work from before. What was interesting though was that because the file was so large (2.17 GB) I had to let the computer sit overnight. When it finished though, there was a network error of some sorts, though it showed that the download had completed. I said "OK" and thought that it would put it into my purchases playlist, but it did not. I had to track down the file manually and imported myself, but what I get is a gray screen when trying to play in iTunes 7 and a black screen when on the iPod. The interesting thing though is that the slidebar for the time is moving with no picture or sound. I think there may be something I need to do to the file, but not quite sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

I suffer from the problem of cutting picture and sound when Link Mac Pro with the TV via the Apple TV Is there a solution to the problem

Have trouble cutting (the delay) picture and sound when Link Mac Book Pro with the TV via the Apple TV Is there a solution to the problem.
(this problem is when I follow films in the sites and forums or watch the live broadcast of certain programs by using the browser Safari)
I want a solution TV Apple made meI feel disappointed

Has anyone else encountered or solved this problem? Same thing is happening for me with a new MacBook Pro, 13" i7 and an Echo Audiofire 4. It's not even clear to me from searching if this is the processor idling or the firewire port hardware. Only thing clear to me from testing is that it does have something to do with using an audio interface - I don't get this noise plugging in my external hard drive, but I still hear it if I daisy-chain the hd through my interface. Any help or recommendations appreciated - do pc firewire ports have this issue too?

NX: Makes picture taking sound, but photo screen is completely black.

I've got awesome lighting in this room. And even if that wasn't true, I literally took a picture of the light, and it was still completely black. I mean.. It makes the picture taking sound, but the square the remains black. What in the world.. The light is constant green on the webcam. It's plugged in correctly, or so as far as know. I'm usually good with computer things.. But I think I'm going to take the dumb 6 year old blonde excuse for this one. Any ideas..

I have the same problem with NX Pro. After finallygetting it to work with my ancient Pentium 2, all programs (Creative software that came with the camera and also other 3rd party software, such as Watcher). All of the programs only show only complete black. I tried the camera on another machine and it worked just fine so it's a computer issue.
I've updated video card drivers, ann Windows 2000 updates from MS (currently have SP4). What I found out was that if the camera was plugged into the other USB port of my computer, Windows would crash to BSOD when starting any of the camera software. When moving it to another port, I no longer get crashes, but this annoying black screen. Could it be related to USB?

Equium A110 - DVD picture and sound appear to choppy & scratchy

Hey guys, for the last couple of days when i insert a dvd/cd into my laptop and try to play it, the picture and sound both appear to choppy and scratchy. also when i try to copy and burn a dvd, it takes an eternity(2-3 hrs) whereas before it barely took 15 minutes.
Is there any way to correct such a problem?
And another question, I may want to try and restore the laptop to its "factory settings".
Anyone know how to do it?
Regards m1lz

> I may want to try and restore the laptop to its "factory settings". Anyone knows how to do it?
If you want to set the notebook to factory settings you have to recover the OS from the delivered Toshiba Recovery CD!!!! But be careful, the recovery procedure erases the whole HDD. Create a backup before start the installation from the recovery CD
Now something about the sound and video issue:
Maybe the ODD malfunctions, this is not impossible but improbably.
You notebook supports acoustic silencer application try to remove it.
But after recovery installation everything should run correctly... hopefully ;)

Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

Itunes video appears to be playing, but no picture no sound

Help...new to Mac. Just purchased this from a friend who didn't use it for anything but business. Macbook Air. Loaded iTunes, Authorized the computer on my account. Then tried to watch videos in itunes. It launhes to a widescreen view which is grey where the picture should be....no video or sounds. But when you move the cursor to the area to press play of pause or other actions...it shows it as playing. When I click on the chapter area, it shows the pictures of the chapters as it should. Though clicking on them does not bring video to the main screeen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have the same problem. I have a 30gb Video Ipod. Was lying in bed listening, started changing songs, next thing I know it is no longer playing. Everything appears normal, makes clicking sound, you can change the volume and the white noise gets louder but no sound. Hooked up to many earphones as well as a fm transmitter, same thing. Tried resetting didn't work. I let the battery run out, than I hooked it up to my computer and fully charged it. Music played through itunes. Disconnected from my computer and it actually played. The next day I tried playing it again, and no longer worked. Haven't been able to get it to work since. Tried erasing all the music and resetting to normal factory settings, didn't work. Any help would be great!.

Airplay on AppleTV: no picture only sound

I can get AirPlay on my iPad to play only one type of video on AppleTV, YouTube. But nothing else works. Any other video, for example from New York Times app, the WSJ app, Netfix or from the iPad PBS app, even though they give me the option to select AppleTV, I get only sound and no video on AppleTV. The Airplay icon does appear on the ATV screen but says Unknown/Untitled and only provide sound but no picture. I've updated everything, ATV (just last night), my iMac (last week) and my iPad and iPhone (both yesterday afternoon). Each component has the latest software updates. Still the only video I can view using AirPlay from my iPad is YouTube, which is already an option of the ATV menu. So what's the point of Airplay? Am I missing something?

So what you're saying is that Airplay supports only one video app and that's YouTube.
2 video apps. youtube and the ipod app.
That's not quite how Apple promoted its capability. Besides, the Airplay option appears as a choice in the drop-down menu of all videos I play on my iPad, but again all the appears on the TV screen is an Unknown icon and sound. I'd think that if it could play on the iPad, it would play on the Apple TV.
as already stated, the airplay icon will show as it is able to stream the audio to an appeltv.
individual apps will need to build in support for video airplay, and at present this option it not available to developers in the SDK.
