Apple TV 1rst Generation video output

If I do connect HDMI output then component video output goes down? I Can't view both at the same time? How can I watch both outputs?

HDMI takes precedence, so you cannot use both HDMI and component at the same time.

  • Apple TV 1st Generation Video problems/questions

    I have synced a number of movies to my Apple TV (1st generation) but can't figure out how to watch them from the ATV-1 hard drive rather than wirelessly from iTunes - also I cannot watch them wirelessly from iTunes because the video freezes and it takes a rest to get APT running again.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Video that is synced to the Apple TV won't look any different to video that is streamed, it will all appear in the same menu's, however anything that is synced will play from the hard drive, you don't need to do anything special to make it do so.
    If you are having trouble with wifi you may have interference.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Apple component cable - no video output

    I purchased an Apple component cable thinking I would be able to display video on my HDTV, but all I can get is audio. I know the TV is working properly as I can get component video from a WII console. The phone is a 3GS with the latest software (4.01). I get no video with the IPOD app or the photo app. I have the TV settings configured for widescreen and NTSC in the IPOD setup section.
    What am I missing?
    Bob

    I would love to know this too. I can't get photos or video to display on my TV

  • Video Output for Musical on new Macbook Air

    Doing first production of a musical.
    I'm thinking of buying Logic Pro 9 to control the output of recorded audio and video for the show (as well as to compose a few extra pieces).
    The features page on the Apple site says: Logic can let you view synchronized QuickTime movies on a separate monitor using output options like Digital Cinema Desktop.
    http://www.apple.com/logicpro/top-features/
    The Tech Specs page on the Apple site says: External video output via FireWire or DVCPRO HD.
    http://www.apple.com/se/logicpro/specs/
    I've bought a brand spanking new Macbook Air which has a Thunderbolt and two USB ports. 
    Would I be able to use Logic on my Macbook Air to output my video?  (I was thinking I would do it to a projector either through WiFi or a (yellow) composite cable.)
    (The alternative I was thinking of was to use MuseScore to enter the notation for the extra pieces.  Garageband for the audio output (it's missing a few instruments [e.g. clarinet, xylophone]) and plain old Quicktime for the video output.
    Thanks!

  • HT1551 My iTunes music library disappear from my AppleTv 1rst generation, and would not accept it back. The Video part works find, but the Music part does not. I reseted to Original factory settings, but still has same problem. Any body has any suggestion

    I have a 1rst generation Apple TV and My Music disappear; after trying several times trying to get My Music back, I opted by resetting it back to Original settings with no avail. The video part is find, all my movies are there, but when it comes to the Music nothing shows up.
    Does anybody know what could be happening here and have any suggestions how fix it ?

    So, when you go to Devices->AppleTVname->Music in the left panel of iTuens, you have:
    1. "Sync music" checked
    2. Either "All songs and playlists" or "Selected playlists" plus actual playlists selected
    Correct?
    And of course, in those actual playlists, there is music?
    Is htis iTMS purchased music, or mp3's?

  • No video output to 23" Apple from Windows XP

    I just built a new computer with; Intel E6400 CPU, Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and an EVGA 8800GTS video card. This setup will not give me any video output to my 23" Apple display that was working fine before. It will not post into the BIOS. I have not installed Windows yet. I hooked the computer up to a 19" Samsung LCD and it posted right into the BIOS with no problem. I talked to EVGA support and they think I may need a firmware update. Any idea where I could find out about this problem? The Apple is the second generation with the aluminum frame.

    Let's be constructive:
    BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
    my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
    Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

  • I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD  my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

    I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD?
      my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

    No, second generation AppleTV outputs 720p HD only, the 3rd generation outputs 1080p.
    2nd gen can decode 1080p in theory but the output resolution maxes out at 720p.
    If it's any consolation AppleTV 2's can fetch good 2nd hand values compared to ATV 3's.

  • Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)

    Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)?

    If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter.  Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
    When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

  • ITouch 1G software current. Video output

    I have read several posts regarding video output. Some seem to be directed to 2G and some to software updates. I want to purchase the correct cable/dock whatever to make this work. I have the first Generation iPod Touch and software is up to date. If I purchase the latest apple products to connect to monitor or tv will I avoid any problems. Are both a dock and a cable required or are outputs on dock generic. I assume iPod cable attaches to dock. If not please advise. I really did not think I was quite this dense but apparently I need help. I would go to store but it is 2.5 hours away. Thank you.

    Hi,
    To get video output to a TV you can use either of these depending on the input connections on your TV.
    [Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAz OA]
    or
    [Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4Njcw Mw] I use this one, it's fine.
    You can then put one of these inbetween if you wish but it is not necessary.
    [Apple Universal Dock|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4NzcxOA ] The remote has limited functionality with the Touch.
    Other manufacturer's cables are now available with the required "Apple" chip but I am not familiar with them.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Why Block Video Output?

    I have just purchase a brand new shiny Yamaha AV amp and Yamaha iPod dock (which was supposed to be video compatible) with the hope of using the on-screen facility to select music tracks. But oh no, thanks to someone in Apples ludicrous decision to block video output unless you're using Apple's own dock and cables I can’t!
    Apple - please unblock this ridiculous restriction!

    Hi, 
    I'm not condoning it, but in my estimation this will not change. Apple implemented this to secure the video so that they could reach the agreements they have with the film companies regarding online purchasing and rentals. If the limit is ever officially removed I'm sure Apple would lose the iTunes Store content overnight. It's for this reason that the first video iPod (the fifth generation) can accept rental films.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

    I have just purhased a new Macbook. My first mac ever
    My question is regardng the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter.
    Do I read that correctly that I can hook my macbook up via rca and s-video but not composite? Does Apple make one cable that will do both?
    I would like the ability to hook up to a projector which will likely be composite. As well RCA/S-video via t.v or DVD inputs.
    Thanks
    Tig

    For VGA you will need the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. For composite video you will need the Mini-DVI to video adapter. If you want sound while using the video adapter you will need a 3.5mm to rca stereo cable. This is a y cable like this Example of 3.5mm to RCA Y cable
    FYI the RCA output on the video adapter is composite video.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter Question

    I want to hook up my macbook (late 2008 model) to my tv. Will the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter
    work? If it will work on my tv then what else do I need to get? It looks like you need other wires to hook up to your tv? Thanks in advance for your help!

    The new MacBooks that use the NVIDIA 9400M video chip do _not_ support output to analog TVs. Thus, with the current MacBooks the only way to get output to an analog TV is with a third-party VGA-to-analog TV converter box -- you can't just use one of Apple's cables (although you'll need the mini display port to VGA adapter cable to connect to a third-party VGA-to-TV converter box).
    More specifically, you can _not_ use one of Apple's $19, DVI to Video (composite/S-Video) adapters on the new MacBooks.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter Questions

    I'm in the processing of producing an instructional video using an Intel Core Duo iMac and iMovie. This content will be distributed primarily via broadcast over cable TV. Considering this, I'd like to be able to edit and view my dv footage on a TV monitor as I work.
    I was told by the Apple Store person that the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6314001/wo/jY18n ncCp3Nx2tYjws52iCaPkH1/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3) will enable me to
    1. Mirror my desktop to simultaneously show me what my iMovie edits will look like on a TV; and
    2. Enable me to edit in iMovie using the TV as my desktop.
    Am I understanding the capabilities of the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter correctly?
    Regarding Cables
    1. I currently use an RCA composite cable to view dv footage from my camcorder directly on the TV. Is this the same cable I'd attach to the Mini-DVI to Video Adapter?
    2. The DVD recorder/player my TV signal is routed through has an s-video port. Is there a benefit to using an s-video connection in addition to/or instead of the RCA connections?
    Thanks for helping me understand this setup scenario!

    Ditto to Karsten's post:
    "Mirroring" a Mac's output to a TV, or plugging in an adaptor to provide a display on a Mac's screen and simultaneously on a TV ruins the Mac's display while this is happening by lowering its resolution. Ugghhh! (..I've tried this several times, in order to get a 'TV' signal out, showing the Mac's desktop, but it's hopeless..)
    Karsten's method is the best - output to camcorder via the normal FireWire cable, and plug a TV or monitor into the camcorder's A/V Out socket!
    [..Note, though, that Matti has pointed out that - what was it..? - during editing, some updating of the TV-thro-camcorder display doesn't work correctly. I can't remember exactly what the problem was, and I don't see it mentioned on Matti's Bugs Page, but there was some slight oddity. Nevertheless, this is still the best way of viewing on a TV or monitor..]

  • Will Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter device work on HD TV's?

    I have a Macbook. Will using just the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter work for me if I have and HD TV so that I can watch movies from the Internet on the HD TV screen? How good will the quality be compared to watching on the Macbook itself? And I've noticed how short the chord is for the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter. Will I have to buy another chord to make it reach the back of the HD TV? Thanks.

    As it happens, I just bought the mini-DVI to video connector for my wife's Macbook (C2D) yesterday. I am in Australia (which is a PAL country), but I didn't see anything on the device or the packaging which indicated it as being PAL-specific. In fact, in Display Preferences when it is connected to the Mac and TV and in use, the panel relating to the TV output (which is shown by the Mac on the TV screen) is where you select between PAL-50Hz and NTSC-60Hz, so I'd guess it is a single worldwide device, rather than their being separately-manufactured PAL and NTSC variants of the connector.
    Anyway, on the back of the top cardboard part of the packaging is a picture of the connectors (because you cannot really see the pins in the Mini-DVI connector itself when packaged, due to an opaque plastic "keeper" over the end of the plug).
    To reconfirm what is said above, the pin configuration on the mini-DVI port on the MacBook and what you need on the Mini-DVI connector is a horseshoe or "U" shape. I don't remember if any specific model of Mac is listed, but I believe as long as it is that U-shaped connector you'll be fine with the same connector kit.
    The "mini-VGA to video" connector is not what you want for a MacBook; mini-VGA is not "U"-shaped inside, but rather two rows of pins in "II" configuration (even though the outside dimensions of mini-VGA and mini-DVI look very similar).
