Apple TV attached to an Onkyo receiver

I have my Apple TV attached to an Onkyo receiver and my Samsung tv is attached as well. The Samsung has a dvi port and I use a dvi hdmi adapter. My problem is I have audio from the Apple TV but no video feed. Any ideas what might be the problem?

only some versions of DVI support hdcp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
that would likely be your problem try connecting the Apple TV by optical to the receiver and with hdmi to the tv
if the tv does not have a hdmi port then you likely need a new tv

Optical Audio Is Not Working with Onkyo Receiver TX-SR501

Hello,
I can't seem to make the optical audio from Apple TV work with my Onkyo Receiver TX-SR501. The Onkyo has 2 optical audio lines in in the back. When I hit the "digital input" button on the front of receiver, I can select from OPT1, OPT2, or COAX. I currently have the optical audio line going into OPT2, but if I select OPT2, I hear no sound. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Holly

I have the exact same receiver (Onkyo TX SR-501) and tgibbs is correct...you must (during a setup process) link each function (DVD, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, CD, etc.) with its audio source. The Optical cable doesn't connect to a "function" in the back, it connects to an "input". The receiver gives you the freedom to use different inputs with different functions. It's your job, durng the "setup" to map each of these inputs to each function...that way the receiver knows where to go looking for the audio that you are feeding into it for each function you choose. The owners manual has a pretty clear setup process outlined in it.
Not clear to me that you understood this, so forgive me if I am explaining what is already clear to you.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Playing Apple TV through my Onkyo receiver requires the TV to be powered on, can this be avoided?

My Apple tv is connected to an HDMI input on my Onkyo receiver and plays perfrctly but requires the TV connected to the HDMI output to be powered on to play music thtough the received, is there a way to play music through the receiver without having the TV powered on?

According to the following thread, it looks like the TV has to be on in order to play music:

My wild guess is they were trying to close some kind of security (DRM) hole and ended up making the AppleTV less useful for streaming music than an AirPort Express. Sigh.
Edit: Ignore me. Jon8979's response is much better than mine. He posted it while I was composing mine.

Apple TV - Onkyo Receiver - HD TV = FAIL

Is this particular setup supposed to work? We just moved into our new home (brand new construction) and we got hardwired surround sound with an Onkyo receiver and since all signals these days are digital everything runs through the Onkyo. The cable box and the DVD player plug directly into the Onkyo and only a single HDMI cable runs into the TV. No other cables plug into the TV.
The Apple TV doesn't even show up but when we plug it directly into the HDMI port on our bedroom TV it works just fine.
Anyone else successfully set this up in their house?

Shaneisaac,
I had strange flickering image with my ATV 3 connected to a Sharp LCD via an HDMI switch box - same idea as the switch in a receiver...
The solution for me was to go into the ATV settings and change the resolution from "Auto" to 1080p 60 Hz.
Seems that there was some challenge handshaking with the TV to determine what resolutions it really accepted; forcing the ATV to output a specific resolution did the trick.
(Connecting the ATV 3 directly into an HDMI port on the Sharp TV worked fine in Auto ... but I need the HDMI switch as the older rmodel TV doesn't have enough HDMI inputs.)
HTH,
Karl

What model receiver?
I have an Onkyo TX-SR313 and have the HDMI from the Apple TV going to one of the HDMi ports on the receiver and the HDMI out from the receiver to the TV and it all works OK. In addition I have a DVD player and a ROKU stick connected to two other HDMI ports on the receiver and they all work as expected.
How do you have the laptop connected to the receiver?

They don't expire. As far as anyone knows Apple IDs live on forever - if you forgot its password use https://iforgot.apple.com. Good luck with the answers to whatever security questions it asks.
... I have created a new apple id but cannot transfer it to my itunes which all my apple products connect up to on my mac with all my pictures etc on!?!
Right! That's the reason you do not create a new Apple ID.
As far as Apple is concerned a new Apple ID is a completely different user, with absolutely, positively no access to anything available to any other Apple ID.
Concentrate your efforts on resetting the password to your old Apple ID. It has not expired, and is the only way to use all your existing iTunes purchases, App Store purchases, computer authorizations... etc. Forget about the new Apple ID you just created.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

View menu.
Uncheck "Organize by Conversation."

Apple TV changing inputs on my receiver?!

I have a new 2nd Generation Apple TV running into my Sony receiver via HDMI. When using the Apple TV, everything works great, but when watching Television or any other device on a different input setting on my receiver, every so often it switches automatically to a different input. This only happens when the Apple TV is connected.
Any ideas on how to stop that?

If it only happens when you sleep the ATV2 and awaken it..... just set the ATV2 to never sleep.
My ATV1 didn't sleep for over 2 years without problems.... I expect fewer problems from the ATV2 since there are no moving parts.
This should be a painless workaround

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

Using a non-Apple network attached storage device in lieu of Time Capsule

Can anyone suggest the steps one would need to take to have a non-Apple network attached storage device (HPMediavault) recognised by the Airport Utility so that it may be employed for file storage via Time Machine in lieu of a Time Capsule?

Sorry, but TM will not work with third-party NAS - only Time Capsule.
Requirements to use Time Machine
Time Machine is only available with Leopard (10.5.x)
1. External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
2. Time Capsule
3. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
4. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server
5. SAN volume managed by Apple's Xsan file system
A TM drive must be partitioned with either APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
An Airport Extreme Base Station with a USB drive connected to it can be used with TM but it is not supported by Apple.

Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It depends on which password you are referring to, but generally speaking you can always restore the Apple TV.
