AppleTV and Toshiba LED Smart TV (42SL417UC)

Hi,
I just bought a Toshiba 42" 1080p 120Hz LED Smart TV (42SL417UC) tonight but it seems to have a problem with my AppleTV 2.
When I plugged the two devices via an HDMI cable, the AppleTV only shows 720p HD - 60 Hz as the maximum resolution possible, while the TV is a full HD 1080p.
I tried changing HDMI cable, trying all the HDMI ports on the TV, I restored the AppleTV firmware, played with the (very few) HDMI options in the TV config, but nothing.... any idea?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rick

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is it just that you think the Apple TV should output at a higher resolution or do you have a problem. The Apple TV output is 720p, so what you are seeing reported is correct.

Samsung LED smart TV WiFi connection problems (router MI424WR)

I am able to connect my Samsung C9000 55" LED smart TV to my home internet router (MI424WR) and am able to use the apps on the TV. Then, out of nowhere the connection is lost. The router is on the second floor of my home, and the TV is located in my basement, hanging on a wall. The signal strength on the TV only shows 2 bars (out of 5), yet the playstation 3 that is also hooked up to that TV has 100% signal strength. I've tried resetting the TV to factory default settings and started over. Same thing happened. Is a "booster" of some kind needed, even though the playstation gets 100% wireless connection? Very confused and frustrated. I would greatly appreciate advice. Thank you!

Well it is obvious that the Playstation has better receive capabilities than the Samsung. A possible cheap & easy solution might be replacing the antenna on the MI-424WR (it has a replaceable antenna). You could pick up a high-gain antenna with greater range at Radio Shack which might add just enough to solve your TV reception problem.

Mac mini shut down when i power off my samsumg led smart tv

I'm new to mac mini. In fact Mac at all. I use my samsumg led smart tv as display using hdmi port # 4 in my tv. I have also other devices connect to my tv like my apple tv in hdmi also. I don't know why but when i power off my tv, my mac mini stop to work (like a shut down) and when i power on again my tv i must press the power button on my mac mini in order to use it again, it is no longer list in my listed sources on my tv. My apple tv don't have the same behavior, when my tv is back, I just have to select it again in my source list and it will be back there. Is there something I should change or know in order to have my mac mini always available. I'd like to be able to connect to it from other places using vnc, but right now it's always shutting down and even if I try to power on it after my tv close, it wont when my tv is power off. Somebody can help me? Thank you!

Hi Linda,
Unplugging it from AC power will drain the PRAM Battery in short order, thereby losing setting, like Monitor resolution.
You can test the Pram Battery by disconnecting from the Internet so Date/Time doesn't update before you see it, shutdown, unplug AC for a bit, startup & check Time.
In Sys Pefs>Displays, can you set the resolution?

Sky+ Remote Code for Bush LED40127FHDCNTD 40" Full HD LED Smart TV (Rev 9 Remote) [Working]

Hi, I wanted to pass on a code that I found that worked with the Bush 40" Full HD LED Smart TV (LED40127FHDCNTD) (Argos item number 128/1684). I tried a few codes from a round the web but found 0065 to work with this model with a Rev.9 Sky+ remote. For the sake of completeness here are some of the other codes that I tried without success: 2060, 1354, 2155 (from the Sky Remote page) , 2242,1613 and 2153. Hopefully this might help someone out there!

I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
So does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad, I cannot get home sharing.

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad. I cannot get home sharing working, all settings are correct but nothing happens. I returned to the apple store who connected TV box directly to network with cable and home sharing worked between the 2 devices.
I went home and switched on, it worked (both on wifi). Next day tried again, thinking it was all there and nothing.
I tried the tips on the community pages without success. I called Apple helpline, they ran through all my settings which were correct, but still nothing, after 2/3 days they called me back to tell me to wait for Apple software update to solve this problem !!
is something happening on this issue, please can someone tell me. On my old Ipad I just used a Component cable, but this will not work with the new pad, I got the adaptor plug and nothing happens, no output.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd have to Agree, You checked on iTunes to make sure it was Turned on? Check your Router make sure it's working incase, cause sometimes it's the little Things that make it not work.

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

Just updated my AppleTV and now it won't Sign in to my iTunes Account

So, in Apple's infinite wisdom, they decided that I needed to upgrade my Apple TV (2) device.
Not only did it take bloody ages to do, it now won't let me sign into my iTunes Store account so I can't view any of my purchased items or buy new stuff!
The password is correct and the only error message that actually shows is "Could Not Sign In". That's it. The WiFi is connected and it appears to be working.
Anyone got any ideas as to how to solve this so I can actually give Apple more $$$?

There seems to have been a store glitch preventing you logging in or buying things - it seems to be fixed - restart AppleTv and try again.

After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.

How do I increase image of iPad when projecting through AppleTV and projector?

I have several AppleTVs hooked to either NEC or Mitshbishi projectors. From iPads I connect to the AppleTVs via AirPlay and mirror. The problem is that the iPad projected image is small and cannot be increased that much. I have messed with resolution on both the AppleTVs and the projectors but the image size doesn't increase that much, even when I hit the Magnify button on the projector's remote. It's especially small when holding the iPad in portrait, but increases somewhat while in landscape, but never completely fills the projector screen like the AppleTV homescreen or while projecting a laptop image. Is there a way to increase the size of the projected iPad image?

I have this same issue.
Is there an app that would work better for this?
I'd much rather use a text app in portrait mode, but if needed I can make snapshots of the screen and use images. But I also need the image or document scaled as large as possible on the projector screen.
Does anyone know of an app I should be using or solution?
I am a worship leader at a small church. I want to mirror my ipad from the platform so the other musicians can see the lyrics and chords. My ipad needs to be in portrait mode. Again, I'd much rather use a text app, but can work around using a image if I must.
Thank you for your time,
Dave

HT5706 I just purchased an AppleTV and am trying to connect AirPlay with my mac (2012 model) In 'system preferences displays' an airplay menu is listed but it says 'no device detected'. My AppleTV and macbook are connected to the same network. Any help?

Troubleshoot the network as that is likely what is causing the issue.
Also, temporarily disable the firewall on the Mac and disable IPV6 on the computer.

Connect AppleTV and iMac to same pair of speakers

Hi all,
I have an AppleTV which I would like to use to AirPlay audio over from my iDevice to a pair of wired speakers.
i have an iMac that's currently connected to this pair of speakers.
Is there any inexpensive way I can use the AppleTV and iMac to play audio through the same pair of wired speakers? Thank u!

You can only output from Apple TV to connected speakers or ones that are airplay capable. Connecting speakers to an Airport Express will make non-enabled speakers airplay compatible.
You can output from a Mac to multiple speakers using airplay.
