Apple TV on non-HD television???

Hi,
does Apple TV work on a TV that is not HD ?? can it be connect via a scart or AV port ??
or in the case of a non-HD TV is it just as good to connect the iPod to the TV?
cheers

Quite possibly, as using any converters will be expensive and offer poorer quality than AppleTV is capable of, though the iPod won't be as versatile.
You'd be making compromises at several levels to run AppleTV on a non-HD set, especially if it's a 4:3 set.
Yes, it can be done but you have to have the right converters which may not be cheap.
There was a 'hack' of sorts to get composite output - I can't remember the details but it sounded like a real chore and not something you'd want to do often, and certainly not if other non-techie users used the machine.
Is a TV upgrade prohibitive at present - there seem to be very good value sets out there these days if you go for a less mainstream brand (sorry, I can't recommend any but some UK sites I look at often have rave reviews for such items).

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card. I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card. However, iMacs did. Any suggestions?

A no-contract sales price does not mean unlocked.
Apple is now selling an officially unlocked iPhone in the U.S. which has nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T unlocking iPhones. It is up to the carrier and the carrier only to officially unlock an iPhone that was sold as carrier locked with the carrier - in this case sold as carrier locked with AT&T. This may change one day, but at the present time AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason or under any circumstances.

You need to follow, exactly, the instructions on this page when creating a new account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
If you don't use those instructions then credit card details will need to be entered - after entering them you should get the 'none' option and be able to remove the card's details.

Video out from MBA to non-HDMI television?

Hello, I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but . . . Is there anyway to get video that is streamed over Wifi to my MBA 13" late 2011 to connect to my circa 2003 Hitachi plasma TV without HDMI?
The TV is cabable of showing 780 HD video (I have an HD cable box), but right now I use component video cables from my cable box. Options would be some sort of Thunderbolt to component cable converter (if this even exists) or some way to connected a non-Wifi enabled TV to the Web. The TV has componet and composite inputs
Someone told me that the Wii will output to composite. True?

Hi there.
Glad you are enjoying the wide variety of apps available on the App Store.
To connect your non-HDMI compatible television to your iPad, you may try using a component cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC917ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE) or a composite cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE).
While the VGA adapter will work if your television supports VGA, I am not certain of (and would not recommend) using an adapter.
Hope this helps, and good luck getting your problem solved. Let us know if you need any additional help.

Connecting ipad2 to non-HDMI television

To be very specific, HBO go is fantastic. But I want to watch on my old toshiba big butt TV. Because HBO go is much better than just having HBO on Directv.
Is there any way to connect? I was thinking I could use the VGA adapter and then find a way to adapt from VGA to component. But I have a feeling that won't be so great.
Does a HD->SD conversion need to take place?
Anyone?

How can I access Apple TV from a second television?

We have two televisions and would like to have Apple TV on both.

Yes, with music you would use iTunes on the computer to send the tunes to both at the same time. It works perfectly.
You can't send video to two Apple TV's that way, although you can use each Apple TV to start the same film (or different) on each, they just won't be in sync.

Splitting Apple TV hdmi to multiple televisions.

Was wondering if anyone has tried this or has had issues trying this. I want to send my appletv to 2 televisions. One in my living room and the other right on the other side of the wall in my bedroom. I just ordered a pro series HDMI splitter to do the job. I can return the product but just curious ahead of time if anyone has tried this yet. Can't justify another apple tv when in reality there should be no reason why I cant split the signal.

Unfortunately your situation is different, you are using a tv via DVI and the OP is asking about using a monitor with DVI. Personally I think there may be inherent issues with this set up, apart from the fact that DVI doesn't support HDCP and a computer monitor has an AR of 16:10 and not 16:9, I have to wonder where you would put that software that comes with a monitor which you would ordinarily load onto your computer to make the monitor work with it.
I haven't actually tried using a monitor so I can't be all that sure, but I'd certainly be cautious about whether this works or not until I'd received information from someone who actually has this set up.

Apple TV on non HDMI TV, Apple TV on non HDMI TV

Can I operate an Apple TV device with a non HDMI TV (has Composite, VGA, Scart).
Do I need an adapter (cable) or a converter?

I found a solution on a help-site called Macmanus.nl, it's an even more elegant solution that a regular converter :
- a cable with an integrated DAC-converter
- HDCP-compliant
- tested to work for Apple TV 3
Google for "fixed : using the AppleTV on an HD-ready TV without HDMI-input"
