Apple TV hookup problem

I just purchased a 2nd-generation Apple TV, and I'm trying to hook it up.  I have a TV with two HDMI ports in back.  One HDMI cable goes from the TV to my DVR/receiver, the other goes to my Bluray DVD player.  How do I hook up the Apple TV with both HDMI ports taken?  Is there a way to run the Apple TV through one of my components?  Any help is much appreciated...

If your DVR is also a receiver it should have inputs as well as outputs, if it has an HDMI input you can connect your Apple TV to that, indeed if it has two HDMI inputs you might want to connect your BR to that and let the receiver switch all the inputs to TV.
If not you will need to get an HDMI switch.

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • I bougth Time machine 2GB 4th generation, Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?

    I have two questions...
    1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
    2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
    thanks for you answer...

    1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
    Each new generation of Time Capsules has run cooler than the last. Solved? Hard to know in advance. Plan to give the Time  Capsule plenty of free airspace on all sides.
    2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
    No, but the Time Capsule's light will blink amber to signal that temperatures may be too high.

  • How to send a feedback to apple about safari problem?

    how to send a feedback to apple about safari problem?
    the problem is with a site of mobile phones, www.190.it
    impossible to log in with safari browser.
    with firefox or others no problem

    Hi Ginada
    Feedback to Apple can be made via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple selection, or here. Apple doesn't respond to either; rather, uses the information for internal purposes.
    Your alternative, if in the US and machine is under warranty including telephone support, would be to call Apple Care. 800-275-2273

  • Apple tv connection problems connection manager :: invoke:: failed to find service

    Check over on the right side of the thread here under More Like This. Look for one that has a green checkmark which means it is answered. I have read of this however, I do not know how to solve it. It seems as though it is one particular carrier this happens to.

  • Apple TV streaming problems with itunes

    Apple TV streaming problems. Since recent last update to AppleTV when I try to streams movie or tv show from iTunes sometimes it is fine sometimes it takes hours (Hd or Sd). No problem with netflix. Wifi is not super strong in location but this was not a problem at all before update. Any suggestions?
    Paul

    ok.
    this is not a solution to your problem, but you didn't need to do that just to remove it from appletv. you could have simply unticked the item in your library and that would have made it not available to appletv. you could also have amended your sync options. you don't need to delete something from your library just to remove it from appletv.
    however back to your problem. it sounds like the appletv is not syncing the changes to your library. you should restart your appletv and see if that forces the change.

  • Do i need a new drive or should apple fix the problem!

  • Ho comprato il 20 dicembre l'iPhone 5 in offerta dalla TIM. Da allora sono alle prese con il continuo passaggio dal 3G ad Edge. Fatto ripristino e reset di rete più volte, ma né la TIM né Apple riconoscono il problema, ma si rimpallano la responsabilità.

    Ho comprato il 20 dicembre l'iPhone 5 in offerta dalla TIM. Da allora sono alle prese con il continuo passaggio dal 3G ad Edge. Per ritornare al 3G devo attivare e disattivare l'opzione "aereo" o "3G". Ho fatto il ripristino dell'iphone e il reset di rete della nano sim più volte senza concludere nulla, ma né la TIM né Apple riconoscono il problema, anzi si rimpallano la responsabilità. Che fare?

    Facendo varie prove (come l'inserimento della nano sim in un cellulare Nokia) e confrontando il comportamento dell'iPhone 5 con un altro iPhone 5  - sempre con nano sim TIM - in zone diverse della città in cui abito (Palermo), sono pervenuto alla seguente conclusione: c'è un problema del dispositivo, ma c'è anche un problema di regolazione del segnale dal parte del gestore TIM.
    Non sono un tecnico e non so spiegare perchè ciò avvenga, anzi mi piacerebbe saperlo sia dalla Apple che da TIM, ma dubito che dichiarino apertamente il problema. Se non si capisce perchè ciò avvenga, è inutile sostituire telefono e nano sim.
    Io ho cambiato nano sim e il problema è rimasto. Ho avviato on line con un operatore Apple la pratica di sotituzione dell'iPhone: mi mandano un corriere a ritirarlo e me lo riportano in una settimana. Ma qui mi sono fermato e non ho proceduto ancora alla sostituzione, perchè mi è stato detto che mi sarebbe stato sostituito con un "rigenerato".
    Come nuovo non è la stessa cosa di nuovo e in rete leggo di clienti che dopo la sostituzione continuano ad avere lo stesso problema.
    Chiediamo a Apple di dirci con chiarezza se c'è una partita di iPhone 5 con qualche elemento difettoso o non adatto al mercato italiano o se è un problema di software (e in quel caso aspetteremo pazientemente un aggiornamento) e a TIM chiediamo di non blindare il 119. Infatti da alcuni giorni è impossibile contattare un operatore. Come mai? Subissata dalle lamentele dei clienti?
    Ho molta voglia di rescindere il contratto di trenta mesi...

  • IOS6 and iphoto, iPad, Apple TV sync problem still unresolved. Turning on and off a few times have not helped. What should I do now? wait for an upgrade fix?

    iOS6 and iphoto, iPad, Apple TV sync problem still unresolved. Turning on and off a few times per community advice have not helped. What should I do now? wait for an upgrade fix?
    "&" is not the obvious bug/answer. Not sure what went wrong as I cannot select albums and events for sync. Situation is worse for iPad and Apple TV when error 1140 message popped up even before backup get completed.

    Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1598
    Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.

  • Apple Admits Screen Problems

    From appleinsider.com
    Apple this week confirmed reports that some of its new iPod touch players left its manufacturing facilities with defective screens and said the company is actively working to remedy the issue.
    Several iPod touch customers have reported that their 16GB players exhibit an issue where playback of dark video scenes is almost unwatchable, and have further suggested that Apple may have equipped the new players with screens that are inferior in quality to those used in the iPhone.
    "[S]some early iPod Touch units have had defective screens, where images appeared too dark," the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg revealed in his own review of the player published Thursday. "Apple says this problem affected a small number of units and is being remedied."
    Like AppleInsider's review unit, which appears to be one of the unaffected units, Mossberg said his two iPod touch test units "displayed beautiful images." He did, however, take issue with the player's battery life, which failed to meet Apple's claims in his own tests.
    It's presently unclear how widespread the iPod touch display issue may be or what remedial action Apple will offer to customers who own affected units. Such information will be published once it becomes available.
    I'm hopeing the next shipment is a good one since I'm getting it soon.

    Many of the major Apple news sites are reporting this (e.g. Engadget.com, Macrumors.com, Appleinsider.com, etc). However, Apple has yet to step forward with a resolution.  I have an iPod touch that is affected by this issue and so I called the 2 Apple retail stores in my area today to find out if they were accepting returns/offering an exchange. Both locations that I spoke with said that I need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar.  I purchased my iPod touch on Monday and so I'm planning to wait this out to see how Apple decides to respond/resolve to this.
