APPle TV HDCP and switches don't function

Hello all, perhaps someone has this figured out.
I connected my new ATV via HDMI to DVI on my Samsung 42" DLP. The TV has one DVI input that up to now was occupied by a Directv HD receiver using a DVI to HDMI cable.
With ATV I figured I need an HDMI switch. I purchased a switch from monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=4088&x=0&y=0
The switch claims to be HDCP compliant. The switch works great except when trying to rent a movie from iTunes the dreaded message "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. Use component video conection to veiw content."
When I have checked the settings with the HDMI through the switch it says HDMI (HDCP off)
When I connect directly to the TV with HDMI the setting indicates HDMI
So, obviously the switch is not "talking or handshaking" the HDCP from the source to the TV.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
Monoprice replied to me with this:
Hey Steve,
The issue you are dealing with is known as HDCP compatibility errors. Often solutions for this type of problem exists in trying a different type of splitter, such as 3x1 or the 5x1 switchers. I will inform the returns department regarding your request. Please be patient.

Funny thing is I had the exact same problem last week. I run a Macbook Pro 2.2 intel. The laptop is alway in a studio, on a stand and connected to an external keyboard and Wacom tablet. I'll use the laptop keypad and trackpad maybe 1% of the time out of the day. The day I updated to 10.5.6 is when the keypad and trackpad stopped working.
I had updated to 10.5 about 2-3 weeks previous, after running 10.4 for over a year with no problems. The original Archive and Instal had so many issues that I was forced to do the new instal and wipe the hard drive. After a few calls to Apple regarding the 10.5 install issues, I was offered an additional 90 days warranty.
When I took it into Apple last weekend for the keypad and trackpad issues I was told that the warranty that was offered as a goodwill gesture didn't cover any hardware issues, only software. Apple ran through a few things on the laptop and also tried booting off a bootable startup disk and couldn't figure out the problem.
I did check the cable issue as described below and also went thought other resets that I have read about in other posts. All to no avail.
Apple has quoted a new top case assembly and a new keyboard. With labor I'm looking at a total of £205 to fix the issue.
Seems a bit funny for it to all happen so soon after my 10.5 purchase and also on the day of the 10.5.6 update. I'm aware of how may others may have done the same update with no issues but this laptop has been treated with kid gloves over the past year and a half. If I was rough with it, then I could except it but when it's been treated as it has been then I just can't understand it.
Any others with the same problems, it would be good to hear from you.

  • I set up a new apple I'd and I don't want to use my credit card. What do I do?

    I set up a new apple I'd and it's asking me for my credit card and I dont want to use it

    You will need to put the credit card information in to establish the account.  A $1.00 charge will be made to make sure the account is valid, and the $1.00 will be returned.  You can then change your payment method to "NONE", and choose "DONE" to remove the card.
    There is only one way to create an AppleID without a credit card, and you have to follow the steps exactly in HT2534.  You can't use the steps for an AppleID that has already been created.

  • Macbook pro trackpad and keyboard don't function

    I was working on my photography coursework monday night, and my keyboard froze, but the mouse worked. then I restarted it (losing all my unsaved editing, by the way) and neither the trackpad or internal keyboard worked. after that, for a few days, they both worked on and off, before completely ceasing to function.
    I'm running 10.5.6, and I had to buy an external mouse and keyboard this evening.
    my warranty has run out, I don't have apple care, and I cant go for more than 24 hours without my computer because we don't have another one in the house.
    does anyone know what the problem may be, and how to fix it without being without a computer for the next god only knows how long? (the place I got my mbp from doesn't allow loaned computers etc.)
    (I do not have the money to buy a new laptop either)

  • I can not get to verified my Apple ID account, and I don't know what to do now.  Please help..

    I am trying to get a game from the APP store, but every time I try to down load it; it keep telling me to verified my account. But I don't know how to do it, because I didn't get anything in my email address to do so.

  • I'm buy iPhone second hand. And I look on iPhone not iCloud activated. And I enter my Apple ID on iCloud and find my iPhone is on. But I'm upgrade my iPhone use my Mac mini. And than activated required old Apple ID. And I don't know ? How this

    How to fix ?

    Welcome to the Apple community Leedanwu.

  • My widgets and dock don't function like it used to - no  ⊗

    My dock no longer has a ⊗ next to it and I cannot access my widgets unless I goto home/library/widgets and click on the only widget listed there (business.wdgt).
    Once I click on that, all of my widgets show as does the ⊗ but once I click back on another application the widgets disappear and I am back to having to goto finder to restart them and my ⊗ is gone again.
    I am very new to the Mac so I am sure it is something that I did but cannot seem to figure out - any advice most appreciated.

    The F12 key gets you to "Dashboard" -- when F12 is pressed, the display becomes grey and the widgets swoop in -- and the + (in a circle) becomes visible in the lower right.
    The + icon allows you to manage your widgets.
    The "Dock" is another and entirely different crop of icons, typically at the bottom of the main display.
    You can use System Preferences from the Dock to set up Expose and Widgets in hot corners; when you move the mouse to one of the corners of the main display, you can set actins such as making Dashboard visible.

  • Can't watch TVshow/movie on mac(itunes) and switch video output to Apple TV

    I just got my 2nd gen Apple TV, great product. From the website and the announcement I was to believe that you could be watching a movie/tv show on your mac (using itunes) and have the video automatically "pushed" to your TV by selecting the Apple TV within itunes (continuous play), like music does. I know you can go through the Computers Menu directly on the Apple TV to gain entry to the same content but I thought you could continually watch the show and switch the output to the Apple TV.
    Maybe this only be applicable for iPod/iTouch/iPad devices when the new iOS is released with airplay? Or maybe this will become an available function for itunes on macs when they enhance airplay with the new ios? Or maybe I am missing something really basic.
    Let me know ....thanks

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • Apple and ATT Don't Care...3 days and still haven't gotten a person to help

    My original iphone since upgrading the firmware to 2.0 has sporatically but for many many hours at a time has stopped allowing incoming or outgoing calls. I have attempted to reach both ATT and Apple to get support. Here is cronology of my attemps to get help to fix my phone. I don't think apple or att care about their customers at this point. After being an att customer for 10 years i am now considering the new sprint service with the new samsung device since I can't get anyone to help me fix my iphone so i can actually make or receive a call.
    July 16th, 2008
    11:30pm called att support 888 327 2610 and chose the option for "not able to send or receive calls"
    spoke to an agent who said i would need to call back in when i got my bill.
    Jason Poersch - Supervisor
    VRU...is routing to billing, not even to tech support
    Tried to tell me to call apple support..but i asked if this was an att issue or apple he said it could be either..well i called att so why does att check it out before telling me to call apple
    Said that I would need to call back when i got my bill to have it adjusted b/c they couldn't adjust it at the moment.
    Asked for corporate phone number to log a complaint....Said to look it up on-line...when my phone isn't working.
    Jason agreed to send the email for me to the corp complaints. I find it very odd that a phone company will not handle complaints via phone, but force you to send them in an email.
    11:50pm...transferred to att support...message experience unusually high call volumes due to networking issues. (what time of the day is good to call when you cant get thru even at midnight???)
    11:59pm David Hamrick in tech support answered
    * unaware of problems ...just normal call volumes ...even though they had a message on phone line
    * we cannot do any trouble shooting here at att at all..you have to call apple
    * David did a warm transfer at 12:01
    Then however ..he said he would have to put me in the queue..as he was transferring me in..the vru said apple was closed and that i would need to call back during normal business hours!!!!
    12:07 am I asked for a manager and David said a manager would tell me the same thing..I said I would still like to speak to a manager. He put me on mute and came back saying a manager would not be available but he can put me thru to voice mail. I said that after being on the phone for over a half an hour..that i would wait until at&t decide to help me. i needed my phone tonight..not another day. He said ok..and put me on hold.
    12:15 am Jerry Henry (mngr)...
    He said that i would need to go to att for any troubleshooting on the phone...i said what about the network..had we ruled that out? after all u had a message on your vru indicating that you were having networking issues. I would think i deserve the courtesy of having someone rule that out before sending me to apple so i don't have to come back again if it does happen to be the network.
    He called as well and was told to call back during normal business hours
    12:30 am *earlier today...outage in this area
    creating a ticket and will call me back in 1/2 hour..
    12:46 am called me back..he has opened a ticket..they should text me and call me when working. Jerry to research apple hours. Jerry to call me at 6:30am with status.
    July 17th, 2008
    6:30am ..no call from Jerry Henry on either phone number. My cell is again not able to send or receive calls.
    9:22am...called 800 331 0500 again..chose options for support...they said they were transferring me to apple support.
    *VRU..experience high call volumes and that they recommend calling back later....but I could hold and did...since it doesn't seem to matter what time of day I call..they are always experiencing high call volumes. .
    9:40 am ..hung up as couldn't hold any longer
    11:55am called support again.
    * *VRU..experience high call volumes and that they recommend calling back later....but I could hold and did...since it doesn't seem to matter what time of day I call..they are always experiencing high call volumes. .
    12:12 pm ...Shawna in Canada ..would not give any additional information to be able to identify her in the event of a follow-up or concern.
    * Also asked for her managers name so i had an additional reference for follow-up. She put me on hold ot go ask her manager if she could give me her managers name. Shawna returned to indicate that her manager said she could not give her manager's name.
    * I then asked to speak to the manager directly...and she indicated it would be a long wait but that she would get a manager and would check back with me while I waited.
    12:18 pm ..put on hold while waiting for a manager
    12:25 pm ...still holding ..no one has checked back with me yet
    12: 41 pm still holding..no one has checked back with me yet
    12:: 57 pm ..still holding..no one has checked back with me yet
    1:06pm ..still holding..no one has checked back with me yet
    If they cared..do you think they would respond at some point?

    Based only on that, stop bugging Att. It's highly unlikely to be their issue.
    Phone was working fine. You didn't change the sim, your plan, or any Att-related apparatus.
    You update the phone's software. That's Apple's purview.
    You've had sporadic functionality with the network, and there aren't widespread posts about Att's network dropping away from many people, so that points to the fault being on your individual unit.
    You haven't mentioned if you've done a full software restore. If you haven't yet, you should try it. Then test it out before loading it back up with applications. Especially if you've jailbroken it.
    If you have jailbroken it, it's all too easy to imagine one of the wild applications isn't compatible with 2.0...
    If it works after the restore, re-install your apps one at a time, checking each time to see which one might be wrecking up your phone.
    Good luck.
