Apple TV signal drop from TV

Hi, My Apple keeps dropping the signal from the TV. I have the latest Samsung TV using 50Hz1080HD and my Apple TV is connected via HDMI. If I have it on the correct TV input channel and reboot the apple then the TV finds the signal, if I then change channels on my TV then return to the Apple TV channel it just keeps saying searching for signal. I have put other devices on this channel and cables to sensure the TV is working which it is. Can anyone help please?

Welcome to the  Discussions.
This is a typical HDCP over HDMI issue, unfortunately it happens with all sorts of equipment. I've heard here on the forums though that on some samsung tv's with more than one HDMI port that there is one port which doesn't have this problem. (I think it might be port 2, but not sure)

  • Signal dropped from 5GHz to 2.4GHz - Transmit rate: from 210 to 67 ????

    Does anyone knows why Time Capsule would switch to Ch 1 (2.4GHz) all of the sudden?
    I have moved to a different house and here the TC is a little further from the iMac but why is the MBP has the same problem?

    Signals in the 5GHz range drop off faster than 2.4GHz signals when passing through walls, etc.
    You might try forcing your Time Capsule to use channels 149 and up. According to the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n Network, version 1.6" (www.takecontrolbooks.com/airport-n), 2009 versions of the Extreme and Time Capsule use higher power in the "upper 5 GHz band".
    I have no financial relationship with Take Control Books.

  • We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
    I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
    The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

    My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the Apple Store, 73 minutes delay on my appointment the Genius  tech tells me I should leave my device for further checks in the store and come back in a week or two. Not presicely the answer I was looking for, plus he did not have any device to lend me until my iPhone was checked. Quite dissapointed, Apple was standard for quality on customer satisfaction, in the last 10 years I bought 3 MacBooks, 5 iPdas, 7 iPods, 5 iPhones and 2 iMACs... please don't let me down. [email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]

    Dear Ocean, one is a complaint about the quality of the device.
    The second about the quality on response from Customer Service.
    No worries, I'll delete both post since it seems that won't bring anything productive.
    Good bye Apple!

    I have mi new ipad screen broken in one corner, I was really disappointed because it was drop from about 30 cm so I was not expecting the screen to be broken, well I went to apple store in regents street in London  and I was told that I have to pay 250 pounds for the screen replacement, it was a rip off and after many years using apple products I have expend thousands of pounds on them, I just think is  a rip off price. It will be difficult but I won't be buying any apple products anymore, I really feel like I was abuse that was half of the price of a new iPad. I have never complain in my life but this time I think apple is abusing me as a costumer.
    I'm really upset, I'm furious that apple uses his dominance in the market to Rip off costumers like me.

  • Signal range from router to Apple TV

    What is the maximum signal range from the router to the apple tv? My Airport Extreme is about 50 ft from the location where I want to set up the Apple TV with an HDTV.

    I don't think there's a simple figure you can rely on as building layout/construction and other factors will all affect any theoretical maximum distances.
    If wifi doesn't cut it consider some mains powerline networking sockets eg those from Devolo, Netgear etc

  • Signals drop on iPhone 5s iOS 8.1 both wifi and network

    I am having the following problems since i updated to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5s 16GB model A1533 :
    1- My network signals drop to 3 dots and sometimes to 2 and stay there.
    2- Sometimes my wifi disconnects itself on my iphone for almost 4 or 5 seconds
    3- My battery is draining faster that ever. I turned off the use of fingerprint and found it useful but still my iphone consumes a lot of battery. I get my battery percentage dropped to 80% from 100% in just 20minutes of whatsapp usage. My fone's vibration is never on. Location services all off except find my iphone. Background app refresh also off. I tried everything. Erase all settings, hard reset etc. NO USE
    4- Playing games is really difficult. Battery drains very fast.
    I did not have these problems on 7.1.2. Need help
    Regards,
    Ahmad

    I understand that but I hope that people from Apple will be referring to the support groups and may actually think about that last paragraph.

  • Why does my signal drop every time I try to use an application.

    I've got a UFO style 802.11g, which I unfortunately kept up to date with the updates.
    For well over a year now I've had my gear set up like this, airport in the den, my wife's older Imac in the den with it, the printer in the den as well and my Imac across the house. Now, everything in the den connects like cake. Always up, always a great signal.
    My Imac across the house has always had it's ups and downs, we've got a stone fireplace and out kitchen in between. Basically, it's 3 rooms away. A whole bunch of walls and corners for the signal to bounce off of. So, I know, not an ideal set up. But it's worked ok for a good long time.
    So, a few months ago I performed the recommended update. It said that it would increase connection quality. So I thought, hey, this might help me out! At first glance my connection seemed great! I never lost a bar, not while I was looking anyway. Then I started noticing that occasionally I switch a webpage or some such and it would tell me that I wasn't connected to the internet. What? I look up and I've got all the bars, so I try again and get through... then I notice the bars just flat out go dead. Now I can't connect again. Odd.
    Ok, so I start paying attention and it just drops out at random... now, the signal used to fluctuate up and down fairly regularly before the update. I'd researched the problem and found out all the things that can interrupt my signal, and basically I've got em all in between my Airport and my Imac. I could live with that, because it would slow down, but it stayed connected for the most part. This was something new.
    Ok, back to the problem at hand. Now I see the signal is either all bars or none. No 2 bars, no 3 bars. Here or gone. And while I'm paying attention, I notice that practically every time I click on something, from my mail app to a preview image the signal drops to nothing. Seemed a coincidence at first, but know I'm certain that it isn't.
    So, random complete signal loss and complete signal loss when I use and app. Really not pleased.
    Ok, so I figured maybe there's a fix on the way, but I've heard nothing of it. I installed the most recent update, absolutely no effect. Oh, and this one too was supposed to provide better connectivity. Where? I'm not seeing it! Everything in the den works just as well as it ever has. That's one of the things I've loved about Mac for more than 10 years. Easy to use and reliable. But this, this is just a big old pain.
    I've tried to extend the network unsuccessfully with the Express. I've got another option to try with that, so my fingers are crossed. But I just don't get why my network is now worse than when I set it up when the only change that's been made have been the updates that I installed at Apple's insistence that my signal would actually be better.
    Sorry for being so long winded, and for anyone who made it this far... is there anything that I can do? I really do prefer to have my office in the room that it's in, but it doesn't help me at all when I have to move my Imac to use it online.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Airplay video signal drops

    We have 7 Apple TV's throughout our company and all of them exhibit the same behaviour, on many different laptops.
    All laptops are running minimum of OS 10.9.2.
    We have a Cisco Clean Air WiFi network with excellent signal coverage in all areas surrounding each of the AirPlay devices.
    Here's exactly what happens:
    User will enter conference room with Apple TV connected to an LED Flat Panel TV.  Power it up, then select the appropriate Airplay device from their Airplay menu and begin streaming mirroring their desktop to the television set.  Within 2 minutes, the signal drops, forcing the user to re-select the airplay device once again.  Usually it will drop again within 2 minutes.
    If the user reboots the Apple TV, the issue will go away for the rest of the session.  Perhaps something about the Apple TV's keeping a sustained connection to our WiFi network. 
    We've been working with Cisco to pour over our WiFi network but they cannot find anything from the WiFi gear that is contributing to the signal loss.
    Anyone have any ideas here?  I'd like to try an Apple TV alternative to see if a different device would have the same issue but the options seem extremely limited.
    Thank you.

    I have two laptops each with their video out adapter connected and then cabled to a switch box where the big monitors project the signal of the laptop that the swtich box is set to. Like channel selection. Previous versions of Keynote were never a problem and I mean never. The signal came right through but now with Keynote 4 the signal drops out even tho the laptop is still active and apparently sending a signal through its video out connection. I have to hit escape and get out of keynote and then go back to PLAY for keynote to once again send that signal.

  • Toslink Signal Dropping Out Occasionally

    Hi
    I have my Mac Pro (Early 2009 with OS 10.8.2) connected to a DAC using the toslink connection however when listening to music with iTunes the music drops out approximately every ten minutes or so. This happens just for a very tiny moment, but it is rather annoying.
    Using my MacBook Pro (Early 2011 with OS 10.8.2) connected to the same DAC with toslink does not have this problem.
    I have tried using a couple of different toslink cables with my Mac Pro but the problem is still there.
    All the music files I listen to in iTunes are Apple Lossless is burned from CDs I've purchased so they are 16 bit / 44 kHz resolution. It is not high resolution.
    I've tried shutting down all the applications on the Mac and using only iTunes, but the problem persists.
    It occured to me that maybe there is disc fragmentation, however the hard drive is 1.36 TB free on the 2 TB disc, so I think that it would be unlikely to be fragmented.
    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    ayam,
    Your PC may be passively listening on a particular channel for the signal different than what your iMac may be listening to. You may want to consider testing various channels using the steps noted in knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirPortUtility/5.0/en/ap2085.html

  • 3Gs Wifi cuts out when cell signal drops out

    I recently received a new 3Gs from Applecare with firmware 3.1.3. My previous 3Gs was running 3.1.2. I have terrible cell signal in my basement. It usually bounces between 1 bar and no signal. Since receiving my new 3Gs, the wifi signal would drop and come back when the cell signal goes from 1 bar to no signal. It also does this when it goes from no signal to 1 bar. I never noticed this on my previous phone with 3.1.2 firmware. I only noticed this since it interrupts my pod cast streams. I also noticed that when the wifi signal cuts out, the iphone locks up momentarily (can't do anything on the touchscreen). Has anyone else noticed this? Hardware or firmware issue? BTW, restoring to a fresh setup doesn't seem to help.

    In case someone ends up having the same problem, I suspected a faulty cell radio in my iPhone. The local Apple store swapped out the phone. They also suspected it having the same problem.
    This is now my FOURTH iPhone 3GS. (#1 bad accelerometer, #2 scratched LCD & bad cell radio / GPS chip, #3 bad cell radio). I hope this one does better.
    What's happened to the quality of these phones? My 1st gen iPhone had Zero problems. It was chipped and banged up quite a bit, but still worked like a champ.

  • Airport signal drops randomly

    I use Airport Express to connect to wireless Internet. Recently I've had this problem where the signal just randomly drops every few hours - if not every hour. Airport Express is showing a green light.
    When I re-start my computer then it still won't show the signal bar at the top. So I basically have to turn-off the computer and unplug the Airport Express to get it work.
    I don't have this problem when I use wireless at other places.
    Any advice on this problem?

    I think my problem is fixed. You see I was using my airport express as a booster to my linksys, which worked for over a year until recent OS X update.
    The Fix:
    Instead of just setting up my express to join an "existing wireless network" , which was my original set up....I opted to use the option "Creat a wireless network" and I gave it another name, and under WDS tap I enabled it as a remote base station and under the "main airport ID" I selected my linksys router. Using the airport express this way, now I have two network names, the name of my main linksys router, and the name of my air express. Of course you get a better signal from one versus the other one depending how close you are. You also need to manually switch to the one with stronger signal, but at least both of them work through out the house, and my airport express has not dropped of for 3 days now. It works. Not sure why, but I am glad it works. If you are using your airport express a signal booster or as a remote base, and you are having your signal drops off, try to set it up this way, and see if it works for you.
    I hope apple can shed some light to this issue, and I hope this works out for you

  • Wireless Signal Drops Every Few Minutes; Impossible to Load/Use Chat Client

    Hi,
    I have an iBook G4 laptop with an Airport Card installed under the keyboard (I guess it's Express? Not sure). At home, my roomates have a Windoze PC desktop using Verizon DSL connected with a Westell Modem and a Linksys Router for wireless access. This connection seems stable and is always on, as their AIM client is always running and shows no connection disruption. She also has an IBM laptop, which connects wirelessly through a Linksys card, and while I'm not sure whether she has any connection disruption or not, I don't think so or else I probably would have been asked to take a look at it by now Although, it isn't "always on" like the desktop, so I'm not sure.
    I am accessing her DSL connection wirelessly, as I've mentioned, through my iBook. When I am browsing the Web however, I sometimes try to link to a page just when the connection is resetting, so I receive the "page cannot be displayed because you are not connected to the internet" warning. If I immediately refresh the page, it usually loads right away. Sometimes I have to reload 2-3 times, but it always works without having to tweak any configurations in Network at all.
    This is a little aggravating, but liveable. Except for the fact that I am unable to run a chat client at all, since the signal drops intermittently and the client has to constantly resign on, and holding a chat conversation with constant disconnects would be impossible.
    If I had to guess, I'd say the connection resets itself at least every 15 mins or so, maybe more.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has any problem of this sort? Do I need to tweak some sort of settings? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I am having a similar problem. I am using a Powerbook G4, with three airport expresses (one per floor on the house). Often, I get a messages saying that I am not connected to the internet and sometimes if I wait it will reconnect and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, I check the settings on the Airport Express (AE). It seems that the password to get me on the network had duplicated itself so it's now 26 characters long instead of 13. I have two other computers on the network, a PC on Windows XP and a new iMac (when I say new, I mean two weeks old, already out of date PowerPC). ANYWAY, they work fine. I am thinking that they other computers are using signal from the two remaining AEs that are working closest to the base/internet connection.
    I put a call into Apple three times and we basically just keep throwing out my system configuration files in my user, and then starting from scratch. So far that has not helped the problem.
    I think the most important thing to note is that I have upgraded all three of my AEs to v6.3 and this is when the trouble started.
    Has anyone any solutions?
    Also, what happened to the spell check feature that used to be here for posting messages?

  • IPhone 6 freezing after WiFi signal drops

    Anyone else having recurring OS freezing and hanging problems after a sudden WiFi signal drop?
    The phone seems fine on WiFi for a period of time, sometime hours, sometimes days but then all of a sudden the signal strength drops to one and everything goes crazy.  Trying to turnoff WiFi from the control center doesn't have any effect (it looks like it's off but the wifi indicator remains on).  If I try an go into the settings app, it comes up as a blank white page and hangs.  Sometimes I can go back to the home screen, sometimes not but the phone will freeze up solid or eventually reboot.  If it reboots or I do a hard reset the wifi switch is grayed out and can not be enabled.
    If I perform another hard reset the wifi switch will sometimes be accessible again but the phone seem unstable.  It will reboot randomly or simply freeze up.  The last time it froze on the apple boot screen and I had to put the phone into recovery mode to restore it. 
    I have iOS 8.1.1 installed and have done a dozen hard resets and restored as a new phone from iTunes twice in the past week.  It's driving me nuts because the phone just seems unstable.

    I have reset the modem everytime this happened. That is why I believe this could be a software problem between iOS 8 or iPhone 6 wifi and the band in which the airport express communicates.
    Today I have disabled the airport express and began using the wifi from the HUB of my internet provider. So far no drops on wifi signal no freezing, no crashing. Connectivity seems much faster and clean now. Lets hope it keeps this way.
