Annoying Buzz from Apple TV. Ground loop?

I recently installed a surround sound system. When I use my Apple TV (2), I get this annoying buzz. My TV (Samsung Plasma) is not plugged into cable. I've tried plugging my subwoofer and Apple TV into different outlets with no luck. How can I fix this?

OK. It only does it as long as the info is flashed along the bottom of the screen. As soon as the info dissapears, the humming stops. Its also does it when I bring up menu or guide.

Received a notice that could not use photo stream unless I updated my software. Went to apple preferences/icloud to disable photo stream. Not allowed to do so. What do I do to disable so I won't continue to receive annoying messages from apple/icl

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

[OT] Annoying Messages from Apple Concerning Updates

See Subject. Every few weeks, I get some message on my Win XP machine about an Apple software update is available. They've mentioned Safari, among others. There is no way to prevent these messages. That is, they don't have an unsubscribe.
I don't even have any of their products. A few Adobe for Windows, but that's it.
Interestingly, I can post here but not in Safari. I have an Apple account--just for this purpose of complaining.
How do I stop this nonsense?

In Windows, go to your Control Panel and select Programs. Uninstall Apple Software Update and your problem should go away.
However, you will miss out on updates like the one recently announced by US-CERT: Apple has released QuickTime 7.6 to correct multiplevulnerabilities affecting QuickTime for Mac OS X and Windows. These
vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to take control of your computer.

The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

Where is the link for LogicPro loops from Apple? Where did it go? Are loops still available from Apple?

Where is the link for Logic Pro loops from Apple? Where did it go? Are sound loops still available from Apple? The web site says they have thousands of sounds available but I cannot find the link. IT worked in the past. IS this still available?

Video captured with ground loop hum (analog interference)

A client brought me this clip on showsite last week. Before I had this video imported in my system, I only saw it in a 5-inch capture window and thought it was an interlacing issue. Turns out it is actually analog interference, caused by the composite feed from the MOTU HDX-SDI. The feed was sent out over a VGA-to-5-wire fanout cable on GREEN and must have picked up some interference along the way. When captured, it was assumed that was just the preview and that the video lookeed fine...
I am wondering if there is any way to remove a diagonal (herringbone) ground-loop hum from video. There seems to be a pattern to it, as it slowly rools up, then down a bit then back up and off the screen - only to start all over again... I will attach some a video of what it looks like.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nesri9s7ngg5mq3/BChil%20Interference%20Sample%20-%20saved%20as%2 0DV%20codec.avi
This was recorded at 720x486, 29.97i in Apple Pro Res initially, but this uploaded clip is a 720x480,29.97i DV codec file. Should I de-interlace it first, or try to do something with it interlaced? Seems it would be easier to deal with frames than fieldsx2 when trying to isolate this interference, but not sure... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a still (with logo blacked out)

Well, after very limited playing with the settings in Neat Video and this clip, I am already here - without losing really any of the detail. I am thinking of working with luminance mostly after this, as it now seems to be a "pulsing" in the highs and possibly mid-tones... Any suggestions?!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/thr505xogdlfrdb/AVID_Orlando_AFTER_first-pass.mpeg
This a huge sigh of relief for my client already. I showed him this and it is now acceptable. Less than ideal, but acceptable. Being a perfectionist, I still want to make it better - i.e. some of the diagonol lines still rear their ugly head in the flesh tones and lectern...
Thanks again Charles for making me second-guess myself. Jim, any thoughts?
Please keep in mind that THIS is where we started! - https://www.dropbox.com/s/bt8ev7c2xcpb3zq/AVID_Orlando_BEFORE.mpeg

Humming sound like a ground loop with added hard drives

I get a humming low freq Hum from my MacPro from adding or added hard drives. I am using Seagates 320's ( 3 - non raid ). The MP is under my desk and I think some may not hear what I do if sitting on a desktop.
I can't figure out if it's a ground loop issue, more than one drive spinning at the same speed or some mechanical isssue, like metal to metal contact.
Just one drive with the OS. The Hum if still there is not something I am aware of or bothers me. But your room must be quiet to hear ir best.

As I mentioned before, some people will not hear the "hum" if the MP is sitting on your desk ( or one hard drive ) . Mine is under a large desk that is 6' long, which kinda amplifies the sound and creates a sound box for the low freq hum. Some what like adding a subwoofer. But when you add one or more drives it will Hum and I think I know the cause.
One is there is no isolation ( ie rubber ) between the hard drive mounting system, the (metal) inside frame and outer (metal) case. This causes the MP to become or act like a tuning fork.
For those who do hear the hum sound, you can take both hands on either side of the MP and "squeeze" the sides and hear the sound get lower. Take your hands off and hear it louder. So the whole MP is vibrating or creating "noise" or low freq Hum ( tuning fork) .
The problem is some what resolved with using 2 drives if you mount one in bay 1 and the second in bay 4. ( not side by side ) In other words, the sound is amplified to a higher degree if you have matching drives ( non raid ) next to eachother.
This issue will drive you nuts if you have it or can hear it. The MP stock 2.66 thats a month old is what I have. Maybe some other Macs don't show this same sound.
Whats interesting is the metal case, both outer and inter being connected as a "rigid unit" is causing or lets say, making matters worse. The other of which I have not plotted the freq, I think is around 60hz which just so happens to be the same as your " AC power". So the humming could sound like a ground loop, when in fact the sound originates from the hard drive and is being magnfied by the rigid non insulated MP that might be inhancing it's own "resonate frequency"and acting like a tuning fork.
Now if I am right and the MP is reacting as a tuning fork. What is the solution? I don't really know. And I have not tried any so called fixes other than switching bays. I have some ideas. But only those that would not cause a warrenty issue.
I hope Apple will take a look at the issue and see if a real engineer can first identify the issue and come up with a solution.

i have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small. like the display down the bottom where al the applications are, is n the middle of the page and not spread down the bottom. this is seriously annoying! all the writing is every small and the tabs are small and its hard to read. the air display link has disappeared from my computer. but the laptop screen is still very small. i want to know how do i get rid of this and return my macbook screen to its normal size. thank you

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

"invalid address"--solution from Apple support that worked for me

I have been among the throng who have been frustrated for the past couple of days by not being able to get even free Apps and songs from the iTunes store,let alone purchase anything,since all attempts at downloading/purchasing or even updating Apps on the iPad are met with a message "invalid address" and a link to update billing info in the store. I have called AppleCare once, and have been in an email correspondence with an iTunes support rep since May 10. After assuring her that this was not a personal credit card problem, she started to work this with me as a system problem.
First she had me correct my billing info to include Zip+4 zip codes instead of the 5 digit zip code I had entered. She had me contact the issuer of my credit card to be sure they were using zip+4 (they were not). I corrected the address by phone with the credit card company and then corrected it in my iTunes billing account,but I still was not able to get anything from the store since all attempts were met with an "invalid address" message loop.
At that point I emailed the support rep back to report no joy with her zip code+4 fix.
I changed my city name to all caps, changed my payor source to none and was able to download a free song, so I knew progress was possible,but still could not buy anything with a credit card or PayPal, both of which had had address corrections to the zip codes.
Then I got this email fix from Apple support:
"Please look over your address in the following link:
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/
Then we will make sure that address matches in the Apple Store and iTunes. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store ..."
I followed this to the letter--my address was correct in the USPS zip4 site,although they use all caps for everything and I did not capitalize the street name.
When I logged into the Apple ID site I found they had 1 addresses,one perfectly correct per USPS and another with obvious errors in the street address.
I deleted the erroneous one,saved the correct one and logged out.
When I went back to the iTunes store I was able to purchase and download an App for my iPad using my original credit card.
So making sure my address matched the USPS database, then checking the address in the Apple ID site,then going back to the iTunes store worked for me.
YMMV--I am posting this because several people indicated they had not even had a (useful) reply from Apple support.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

I just got an iPod touch 5th generation back in November and while I was out in my garage trying to find something on a shelf while standing on a stool, I dropped my iPod touch the screen cracked a bit- anyone know repair prices from Apple?

So I dropped it... And the screen cracked a bit. It's fairly new (got it in November) but I noticed Apple doesn't cover accidents like mine. Anyone know the prices for getting a replacement/ repair? It's not that bad of a crack, but it's annoying and new so..Yah. Any help with prices for a replacement/warranty would be helpful and on how I should do it. Maybe I can get a replacement for cheap or free cuz I got it recently and I've never complained to Apple before? I know it's my mistake but I'd be thankful if you guys could help! Thanks!

Sorry, but the warranty does not cover accidental damage no matter how recently you got your iPod. As to servicing, Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.

Did anyone get a reservation ID from Apple?

Hi, I ordered the iPhone 6 Plus in Gray with 64GB. I was able to complete the order and received a confirmation for my reservation stating "we received your order and have reserved this iPhone for you, we aren't able to contact the carrier as of yet but rest assured" So I received an email from Apple with the reservation ID about 30-45 minutes later, when I click on the link buyiphone.apple.com/status it asks for the reservation number, zip code, and last 4 of social/account PIN (your carrier). After entering the information it just comes back stating "I'm sorry we cannot find your reservation, make sure you enter the information accurately", yet I copied and pasted most of it.

Boy were you lucky. I stayed up until 12:30 am Mountain DL time, then stated trying to get on the Apple Store site. After 2 hours of trying to get to the site, I went to Plan B and went to the AT&T site and ordered the 6 Plus 64G. No estimate at that time as to delivery date.
This morning, because I delayed an hour and a half trying to get on the Apple site, may delivery date is Oct 31 to Nov 20! I will be trading my phone in Oct 3, so I wonder if they will just not charge me for the month that I will be without a phone?
One thing I did learn was to NOT to trust Apple in critical situations. They obviously knew of the problems with their systems and still failed miserably in keeping people in the loop when there was a problem.

How to eliminate a ground loop with SCXI units

I am using a SCXI chasis, the SCXI-1102 and 1303 and a 1602 USB interface. these are connected to grounded thermocouples fixed to an experimental apparatus. How do I eliminate the ground loop that forms when I power up my laptop (w/ 120V power) and to get accurate TC data? things work find when the laptop is running on batteries, but I don't have that much battery power!

Hi Gogden,
I have you tried hooking up the thermocouples differentially? This might eliminate the problem. Also, if you could give me some more information about the noise it might help me troubleshoot the problem better. Sometimes theres some noise due to lower quality power connectors on some laptops. This is typically associated with a 60Hz noise. Most of this is seen through a small audio hum when trying to amplify audio coming from laptops but it might be affecting the grounding of your USB DAQ card. You might try one of these audio hum eliminators around which may solve the problem. If you search google for "audio hum eliminator", you will find a variety of products for it. In conclusion, I would first recommend trying differentially and if that doesn't fix the problem you might look into the ground loop eliminator products out there.

Can't download updates using software update or from apple's site

I just got my mac about a week ago. i am trying to download the updates using software update, but they only partially download. After awhile, I get an error message (-1001) that says to check the network connection and try again later. I have tried several times and I still get the same thing. Also, when i try to download the updates from Apple's site, they only partially download as well and then it says they "timed out". This is happening with all downloads i have attempted. The download speeds start out around 150 kb/s but then just start to drop and the download times out. I have to keep stopping and restarting the downloads to get them to finish which gets annoying when the file is large. Any suggestions???
Thanks

I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.
