Apple TV won't use ethernet

I am currently using wireless to connect the ATV but I want to change to ethernet to improve the speed.
ATV general network settings say to use Ethernet just plug in a cable. I have the cable plugged in but it is still using wireless.
I have rebooted both the router and atv.
any clues?

Have you tried another cable or ensured the current one is correctly seated.

New iMac 5k won't connect using ethernet

I was in the process of transferring VMWare/Windows from my MacPro to my new 5k iMac. With VMWare help I started transferring a 25 GB file and noticed it was going to take quite a while wirelessly, so I connected both macs to my Actiontec modem/ router. The MacPro connected effortlessly, but the new iMac won't properly connect. In the Network box it says "Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet". The connection shows a yellow dot. I tried manually assigning 192.168.1.6 (from the Actiontec log on page) and the Network page says connected (dot turns green), yet when I turn off wifi there is no connection. I've tried other options such as "using DCHP with manual address", but am unable to connect via ethernet cable.
A few days ago, when working with Apple support, I believe we did use ethernet successfully. Thoughts?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

Try this:
Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one. Good luck!
And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you getting any messages about date and time.
Have you tried restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Are you connected to the network correctly.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

HT4262 Is there any way to extend my Apple Extreme Base Station using an Apple Express by via ethernet or does it only work via wifi and being in range?

From what I read, the only way to extend my Apple Wifi Network is via another Apple Airport Extreme or Express using overlapping wifi zones. If I try to connect my Apple Express to my Apple Extreme via Ethernet, then this is guaranteed to fail regardless of how I configure the Express. Is that correct?

It is certainly possible and better....in terms of performance.....to connect the AiPort Express to your AirPort Extreme using Ethernet to extend the network that way.
If you are having problems with this, then your setup is not correct....or....if your setup is correct, you may have a defective AirPort.
We can walk you through the steps to get things set up correctly if we can get some basic information to provide the correct settings.
What is the model number of the AirPort Extreme?
What is the model number of the AirPort Express?
if you are not sure, look on the bottom of the Extreme and side or bottom of the Expess. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
We also need to know what operating system you are using on your computer. If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
We will likely have more questions about your current setup to understand things a bit better, so please be patient.

Itunes Does Not Recognize Apple tv - using ethernet

I was having trouble syncing with iTunes using wireless; so I began using ethernet. The first time I connected with ethernet, everything sync'd right up; well I did have to update the firewall settings on NetBarrier to allow iTunes to connect to my iMac. Note: all of the firewall settings were working for wireless access - it was just unstable - probably interference. So I go to ethernet
1 week later and iTunes cannot see the Apple tv. Things I have tried so far:
validated firewall settings in Preferences>Security
validated firewall settings in NetBarrier
Restarted Apple tv
Restarted iTunes
Unauthorized and Reauthorized computer with iTunes Store
Restarted iMac
Powered off/on my router
Factory reset of Apple TV
Re-installed iTunes
The Apple Tv can access iTunes store but iTunes is blissfully unaware that it exists.
Any ideas what to try next?

While iTunes Music Sharing was "on" in NetBarrier, when I looked at the log I could see that the udp packets from the Apple Tv were being blocked; it indicated that the ip address was in the Stop List. When I set a rule to ignore traffic from the Apple TV ip address, it immediately connected with iTunes and sync'd up.
NebBarrier apparently thought the Apple Tv was flooding the network and put it in the Stop List.
Much better now.

Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?

The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.
