Apple TV 2.0.1 Update Unable to watch HD Rentals 0:00 to 0:00 shows in bar

Hello
I updated my Apple TV to 2.0.1 last night. I tried to play previews of HD movies and noticed they would not play. Only a black screen with the time bar at the bottom showing 0:00 to 0:00. I made the mistake of renting a movie anyway in HD and that plays the same way. Black screen 0:00 to 0:00 on the time bar.
It does register with Apple that I tried to watch it because my counter is going down for my 24 hours. I have rented HD movies in the past and they are awesome. I am using the component output to a Panasonic EDTV 42" but it has always worked. I did try movies already on the ATV and they played fine as did my podcasts and music.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I have tried another HDMI 1.2 cable and the problem persists. I can not use an HDMI 1.3 cable because the Denon AVR is not HDMI 1.3 compatible.

After installing Adobe Flash Player latest update unable to watch iplayer due to "plug-in failure"

the Adobe Flash player update instruction showed on screen. I followed the simple install instructions. It stated everything had installed successfully, but when I tried to watch iplayer programme the message: plug-in failure appeared, and I was unable to watch any programmes and unable to even listen to radio programmes. This has never happened before. What should I do please? ;(

Adobe is working on a bug fix. This article documents the workaround (which is to use the earlier version for now):

HT1657 unable to watch movie rental as it freezes and skips

I purchased snow white and the huntsman but unable to watch it because it freezes then it skips. How do I fix this so I can watch it before the time frame expires?

I just went into my account in itunes and clicked on purchased history, clicked on report problem, then i selected "reported problem" by the movie rental. I guess I'll see if iTunes responds to me by either fixing it, or reimbursing me the $5

TS1398 Very weak WIFI on my new iPad MD511LL. Tried Apple suggestion, but they didn't work. Signal is variable from zero to two - never shows three 'bars' even on stronger wifi system. Could this unit be defective?

Just bought it last week. Have synced it with my main computer. It gets WIFI most of the time, but the signal never goes above two bars (curves) even when I'm in a strong WIFI area. Rest of the time it varies between zero bars (no service) to two bars - slow, slow, slow.
Already did the recommended shutdown and the WIFI on and off suggestions made by Apple. Already compared to other equipment, which receive a solid, strong three bars at all the same locations. Since this is the WIFI only model,quite alarmed at the problem. I need the WIFI to be able to pick up the signals better.
Could this be an antenna problem?? Behaves this way even when not in any case.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Unable to watch a rental movie

I'm trying to watch a rented movie through the iTunes store and it gives me an iTunes Store error (-42110) and will not allow me to watch the movie. Is there anything I can do?

I get the same error on my MacBook Pro 2.66 Intel Core i7.
It says to try again later, but, the error appears now for two weeks.

I am unable to update devices with Apple Configurator because of this message - unable to send ClearPasscode command to device - I am running Configurator 1.5 and ios 7.1.1. I am unable to rename/number devices. How can I get rid of this error message.

I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.

I Installed the Apple Software Installer 1.0 Update Tonight

Hello-
I am not sure if this latest Software Update messed things up, but there are a lot of problems with my MBP now that I just noticed tonight after I installed this Apple Software Installer Update 1.0.
First off I am unable to watch any of the online videos like CBS nightly News, some of the BBC News Videos, as far as I can tell anything that shows its content on a video screen from the companies website. I updated Flash Player about 2 weeks ago to the current version because I started keepng Flash updated to the current version, someting I wish I would have never started. when I went to CBSnews.com, clicked on CBS Evening News, nothing (not even a video screen) shoes up but in small letters it says Please Upgrade Your Adobe Flash Player. According to adobe Flash (current versions for MacOS-Safari) I have the correct Flash version and I have watched these news broadcasts seveeral nights on ABC, CBS, and many other videos on mostly news websites. On ABC I noticed it tonight since I installed this Apple Software Installer 1.0 Update, it shows a blank video screen but in the middle it says, "This content requires Adobe Flash Player - Ver 10.1. (on top) and on the bottom is a link that says " Click here to get the latest version of Flash."
The latest version of Flash for a Mac using Safari is what I installed about 2 weeks ago and is 11.1.102.64. I am not sure what ABC means by 10.1. The versions confuse me, especially if I look in Safari under "Help"--> "Installed Plug-Ins", it usually just gives the first couple of numbers, but now I cannot even bring up "Installed Plug Ins" under Safari---Help---Installed Plug-Ins. it just gives me a blank screen.
Is it possible to uninstall an installed update? it is a major deal. any suggestions on what I should try? I know people who hate Adobe Flash (seems like there are a lot) will say get rid of Adone Flash. But whay would it stop showing me what is on the Installed Plug-Ins Page? Before, I just did this the other night, I open a new tab, go to Help on Safari's Menu bar to Help, then Installed Plug-Ins and it usually fills up the blank New Tab page with all the Installed Plug-ins. Down toward the end it will show me that Shockwave Player, I think Mac calls it is installed, and it just gives the first few numbers of the current version that is installed. Now I get no Installed Plug-Ins.
thanks for any assistance. I looked up in the suppot articles how to uninstall an installed Update. I was going to repair permissions, but I have only ever done that using the Operating Disk. that is how I was taught by a genius bar person several years ago, and I just kept up with it. when I repair permissions using Disk Utility from the dock, let's say I do a test run and 20 permissions come up, I repair them and nothing changes, but if I use the OS disk and repair the permissions, if there are a lot it will get rid of them all but it usually takes 2 runs at it. I know this is different from what most others say,

I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

I purchased original software with another apple id. how can i access the old apple id in order to update software

I purchased my macbook air and pre-installed software under my work apple id number. i have been unable to update software on this computer with my home apple id. how can i switch to my work id so that i can install upgrades to original software?
Thanks

You can only update software using the same Apple ID it was purchased from.
And just so you are aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

Yje apps show that I have 1 update. I try to update but it shows mt wrong ID and will not allow me to correct it.. I get into apple fine but not the update???

My system is, OS Yosmite. iMac 21.5. 2.7 GHz. intel core 15. 4GB 1333 MHz.
It is showing that I have one update; I click on update and I get the ID/password drop down. that is showing my wrong ID. I have logged into apple without problems but the app store will not recognise my new Apple ID and password. I am unable to change it in the dropdown.
I have had this problem since I updated to Yosmite??
Is there something I can do to rectify this problem. I have changed my ID and password but still nothing happens.
<Email Edited By Host>

Hey Chandrafromgbr,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines a potential resolution to this issue:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

For all Users...I just fixed mine and am now able to log on.
Yesterday there was a Quick Time update to 7.3.1 that fixed a security issue that was allowing access to your computers. I thought that my auto update would install this and it didn't. I had to manually download from apple and install the update.

I used the "with iTunes" version and now I can log into my account with out the "null" error appearing.
This was pointed out to my by QuickDraw so he gets all of the credit.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you plea

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I have two phones on one apple ID. After one updated yesterday on icloud it automatically took my contacts off and put the other ones on there. They still show up if I actually type them in when texting but not in the list.

I have two phones on one apple ID. My son updated to icloud last night and when he did it took my contacs off of my phone and put his in there. When I go to text the numbers I can still find but when I click on the contacts they do not show. Is there a way to change this without restoring the last back up?

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

I need to delete my Apple ID on my iPhone 4. I forgot my psw for my account. When I answer the security question, the system responds incorrect answer. I created a new Apple iTunes account but I still unable to delete the old iTunes account.
