Apple TV RCA plug
Can Apple TV be used with older TV's with RCA or 75 ohm cable video input plugs? My TV does not have an HDMI type socket.
HDMI is the only supported method, there won't be any guarantee. You would also be unable to play content that requires HDCP (ie iTunes, Netflix)

I have an old TV with RCA plugs, can I still use apple tv?
HDMI is the only supported method, there won't be any guarantee with a converter. If it does work, you will be unable to watch protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix), and will have issues with resolution/aspect ratio.

I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box. What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT? Is it a switch or a splitter? And where is it best to buy one? Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need an HDMI switch. -

I have a new Apple TV, I plugged it in last night and it worked fine, I then, I was mirroring with my iPad and everything. It then prompted me to to the update so I hit update and went to bed. Today I can't turn the Apple TV on!
It just says no signal on my tv.
I've tried pressing menu and down arrow for 6 seconds, an apple appears on my tv screen but then it goes back to saying no signal!
Is it broken?Check these troubleshooting steps:

Specifically I wonder if the AppleTV may be trying to connect with an unsupported resolution giving a black screen. Try cycling display resolutions using these remote commands in step 6:
If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Select button will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

Hi, so.....just found I can bypass the computer to listen to our 1st iPod by plugging directly into the computer speakers. Now, does that also mean I can use 3 wired RCA plugs (2 for L+R channel into home stereo and video directly to the tellie)? This would enable slideshows with music for us.
Also, anyone got experience with w/less adaptors for the nano to use with a car stereo? Atm we have a cheapo 'Logic3' FM transmitter but there seems to be a lot of background hiss in-between songs with this unit and placement seems a priority. Here in OZ, a 'Belkin' unit for an extra Aud$100, boasts being powered via cigarette lighter. I do understand the wireless unit not achieving a great range to the aerial at the back of the car, will a powered unit achieve that much better reception? We currently have selected the 'best' FM frequency available, with the hiss present.
Thanks for the advice.I don't believe that the new Vdieo Nanos support video out through the headphone jack like the old 5th Generation Video iPods do. However you can buy a cable that plugs into the DOCK connector of the iPod and gives you the three RCA jacks which is used for showing video on a TV.
Does the slideshow option of Photos allow for outputting to a TV? It may not so when displaying a slideshow, it may not output to the dock connector anyway.

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?
The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

I had my iTunes set up to play music through my receiver & speakers upstairs. I have airport with RCA plug ins to my receiver auxiliary jacks. Homesharing is on & everything checks out but it no longer works. Any suggestions? I have no firewall & I have removed Smith clean program to fix this issue. I am running OS 10.8.2
I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

Try restarting all devices including portable iOS ones and your router.
Check Airplay is not disabled in AppleTVs settings.

MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.

My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?
By a reset, I assume you meaning pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
What happens if you try to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode? If you can do that, I would recommend connecting the iPod to iTunes and restoring it.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode

I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)
Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better -
Does Apple offer RCA cables for their Universal dock?
Does Apple offer RCA cables for their Universal dock?
Illass,
Thanks for the helpful information. The price of the Belkin is right. Is there a docking station with RCA cables that can also charge my I-Pod while it plays through my stereo? Apple has an universal dock but it does not provide RCA cables. -
My Fall 2009 model Macbook Pro DVI output apparently doesn't include audion. Adapting DVI to HDMI works with new LG TV, but doesn't provide sound. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA jacks give sound with the TV in AV (PC) mode, but no video. Is there a fix for this? Search for a DVI to HDMI adapter that includes a plug for the headphone jack comes up empty, so far.
DVI has never included audio, sorry.
There is also no DVI->HDMI adapter including a plug for audio; such thing cannot work without quite a bit of electronic extra effort.
Instead of much bla-bla, why don't you tell the exact TV model, and we'll try to come up with a solution?
BTW, no home theater AV receiver present, correct? Sound to come from the TV, correct?
