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

HT2304 IR Receiver firmware update Apple released an update that essentially changes how the IR receiver communicates with the OS

remote no longer works the likely culprit is a missed IR Receiver firmware update. Back around version 2.1 or 2.2 of the Apple TV operating system Apple released an update that essentially changes how the IR receiver communicates with the OS. If your Apple TV missed that update and then later gets updated to the newer 3.0.X firmware your Apple TV will no longer respond to input from your remote, though the light on the front of the AppleTV will blink. The solution is to load the update manually, but unfortunately that requires ssh access on the AppleTV.

Thanks Dave,
You are a genius. I can't tell you how much I appreciate being benifit of your knowledge and willingness to share it with others. A thousand times over, thank you!! I burned the little utility to a CD on another machine/setup, ran the little sucker and restarted in OS X like a hoot!!! About 8 minutes later I had the processor upgrade installed and see quite an improvment. Again, thanks and kudos be upon you,
James

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). :-)

Are iTouch 1st gen users blocked by Apple from Microphone input:

I have wanted to get a microphone to use my trusty iTouch 1st gen for voice memos. Since the 1st gen never came with a mic in the plug spot, McAlly and a few others made an adapter to input through the dock connector.
However Apple quickly changed the firmware from 2.0 to 3.0 and blocked this feature. Is there a work around for this issue. My 1st gen is a reliable unit and I would like to not have to buy another.
Thanks, GB

answer is they don't Gen1 iTouch never had microphone inputs.

Apple TV not recognised by AV receiver

I have a Pioneer SCLX56 AV receiver, Oppo DVD player, sky, Epson projector and Apple TV 2. I cannot get any output from Apple TV on any HDMI input through my receiver but it works perfectly on a tv in another room. any ideas why this should be? All kit is brand new and everything works fine, except the Apple TV. Thanks!

You should try to find an online forum that discusses your Pioneer gear. See if others are having the same issue. The Apple TV 2 puts out 720P only. See if your Pioneer has a setting to auto-dectect the HDMI resolution or if an input can be optioned for 720P.

Why Does Apple Keep Changing the Charging Protocols?

I bought an iPhone 3G yesterday, and after having a 1st-Gen iPhone for about 5 months, I'd have to say I'm not altogether impressed with the new one. Non-recessed headphone jack, check; faster downloads over 3G, check. The rest of it.. I dunno.
The most irksome detail I've encountered so far is that something has changed in the -- what is it called, the docking mechanism at the bottom of the phone that connects to the dock -- that makes all my previous docks (and I have quite a few around the house) obsolete. Worse, this iPhone will not charge from the adapter I have in my car, the Dension ICE>Link which originally integrated all my iPod controls directly into my car stereo.
When I got my first iPhone back in February, the first thing I noticed was that when I plugged it into an older "universal dock," I'd get an error message, "this accessory is not made to work with iPhone." I managed to work around it. I bought a new dock that is compatible, and I discovered that so long as I was using the iPhone as an iPod in my car, it would charge that way. So I wasn't losing battery charge if I listened to my iPhone/Pod in the car. That was good enough.
Now, with 3G, first, I discover that the Universal dock that I purchased with the old iPhone generates the same stupid 'will not work with iPhone' message that the OLD iPhone generated with an older dock. So this iPhone 3G does not work with a dock that I purchased for the original iPhone, which did not work with the dock I had purchased for my iPods. Sheesh.
But, again, it gets worse: now, when I slip the 3G unit into the cradle/adapter in my car, it will not charge ever, not even when I'm using the iPhone 3G as an iPod. The audio connects, I can still use the iPhone as an iPod and listen to it and control it through the car stereo, but I'm draining the battery when I do.
So, from iPod, to iPhone, to iPhone 3G, it appears to me that Apple has changed something in the protocols for each new generation so that all the docks and accessories from the previous generation are no longer viable. Why are they doing that? What is the UPSIDE of this very obvious and irritating downside, other than the upside for Apple that gets to sell me ever more accessories.
Are other iPhone 3G users encountering irritations like this? What sort of work around are there? Anything?
The GPS and the faster data speeds of 3G are nice features, it's also nice to have a flush headphone mount (I can use this one with a bluetooth stereo headset transmitter). But there are other ways that this unit is just not integrating into the way want to use it, and I may be very tempted to go back to the original iPhone.
Anybody want to chime in with their experience?
Thanks,
--PS

There are two messages you might see. The one you allude to, "will not work with iPhone" is merely a warning that the accessory is not shielded against the electronic emissions of the iPhone, i.e. you may get a little static on the audio. You can ignore that error and use the accessory. The other error is a "will not charge" and that's because the iPhone 3G no longer draws power from the FireWire pins in the dock connector. Apple has been phasing out FW support - the ability to sync via FW was dropeed a couple of years ago. 3rd party manufacturers have known about this for some time, but seemingly chose to maximize profit by not changing their design (especially for car chargers, since the power input is 12 V, which FW can handle, but for USB the voltage must be stepped down to 5 V). There are dongles available to drop the voltage and move the power to the correct pins.

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

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

Can you connect the Apple TV to a Harmon Kardon receiver?

I have all my sound running through the harmon kardon receiver. I just don't know how I would connect it. would I put it through the input or output?

Optical input or analogue jack input inputs on the receiver.
If it accepts HDMI in you could try that too.
Audio is output simultaneously on all AppleTV outputs.

TV keeps changing input please help

I have a LCD tv it's about four years old the problem is it keeps changing input by itself and will stop on random ones for a few seconds then continue to scan through again. I removed the batteries from remote and still does it I also unplugged the tv still same problem last I held the power button down for five seconds( I was told this is how you reset tv not sure if true) please gelp

You could attempt to install a firmware update:
TV Firmware Update File: XV645U_Model_Se... DOWNLOAD Version: 6.1.46.0 Posted Date: 2011-07-28 Relea...
If that doesn't work properly or doesn't it fix it, it could require servicing.

Apple ID: changing password by email?

When I created my apple ID, I made up a cool but bogus email address. I later forgot my password and went to the "reset password options" page. I chose "reset by email authentication" (or something along these lines) BUT the email is bogus, what did apple do? Did they send it? I checked on the web whether there were any websites with the url I used for my fake address and there is one! I couldn't believe it but it exists and it's Russian. Now, I'm afraid that if apple sent the reset password email to my bogus email address, it might have been a real email address and might have gone to Russia somewhere :O
Can this happen or am I just being paranoid? I read about this girl on facebook whose private messages were being sent to strangers because she didn't verify her email address and it kind got me paranoid lol http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/02/05/a-teen-girls-facebook-typo-le d-horrified-stranger-to-get-thousands-of-her-messages/
