AppleTV not recognized by TV

When I connect my new Apple TV to my Hitachi TV (about 5 years old) it is not recognized on any input. I have tried 3 different HDMI input ports with nothing coming up except a black screen. I took the AppleTV unit back to Best Buy to see if the unit or cables were OK and they tested fine. Other things work fine when connected to the same terminals (e.g. the PVR, Chromecast) .. Any ideas??

Hi Rudegar
The TV specs 1080/720 on all three HDMI ports. This seems to match what AppleTV says it outputs.
I am not sure how to change either.

My AppleTV stopped working after power outage. Light is on and I rebooted and reset w remote but it keeps giving me a pic of the Hdmi cord like it is not recognizing the hdmi as being plugged in. I've unplugged it several times.

It is in recovery mode. The picture is telling you to connect to iTunes via micro usb cable in order to restore.

Appletv (3 rd Gen) not recognized by itunes

Hello,
I have a AppleTV 3rd generation and iTunes 12.1.1.4. On the previous version of iTunes, AppleTV was recognized by iTunes and I used Home Sharing.
From the assitance page of Apple.com, I followed the steps to restaure the AppleTV with the microUSB cable (Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV - Apple Support), I successfully passed all the steps and the AppleTV was recognized by iTunes. However, when I plugged the AppleTV to the TV, I lost again the AppleTV.
I verified the network, everything is OK, I removed the password in AppleTV. The AppleID is also good!
Someone have a solution?

Hello valvrins,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Apple TV is not able to communicate with iTunes on your computer. Restoring the device is a good step, which usually rules out software issues. Checking your network is also a good step.
If your Apple TV and iTunes are not communicating when using Home Sharing, there are some more steps in this article that can help:

If your Apple TV does not appear in the AirPlay menu in iTunes, the troubleshooting tips in this article may be more helpful:

MetaX rating tags not recognized by appleTV

i used metaX to add meta data some movies... all the info (actors, directors, chapter names etc) and the rating show up in iTunes and in FrontRow. but only some of the info appears on appleTV.
parental controls which are based on ratings don't seem be recognized by the appleTV... i set the parental controls to ask for a password for anything over a G rating, but R rated movies were not recognized and no password was asked for.. the movie just played. i have one iTunes purchased movie that is an 18A that gets screened properly and a password is asked for when it it clicked on.
has anyone had any luck with getting parental controls to work properly with rating added with metaX.

looks like the ratings tag is made up of different elements as you suggest...
in frontRow the metaX tagged ratings display beside the title name when you scroll over a movie and wait... along with all the other stuff... artwork, title, actors, producer etc... and in iTunes
but for iTunes music store purchased movies, iTunes 8.0 displays the rating beside the name in the movies list but frontRow does NOT display the rating as it did for the metaX tagged movie
so there is more than one element that make the rating appear...
summary of tags that show up...
iTunes: Artwork, Title, Rating, Description, Actors, --Director, Producers--, Genre, Release, Length(not a tag), Chapter Names
FrontRow Artwork, Title, Rating( *doesn't show up for iTunes store purchases?* ), Description, Actors, Director, Producers, Genre, Release, Length(not a tag), Chapter Names
appleTV
metaX taged --> Artwork, Title, --Rating--, Description, --Actors, Director, Producers--, Genre, --Release--, Length(not a tag), Chapter Names, --Chapter Pictures-- (haven't tested)
iTunes Store purchased --> Artwork, Title, --Rating--, Description, Actors, Director, Producers, Genre, Release, Length(not a tag), Chapter Names, Chapter Pictures

MobileMe account not recognized on AppleTv.

Hi All Expert's.
I have just received my new AppleTv, but when I try to log into my MobileMe account, I get the message, that my account is not recognized! How can that be? My account is very much in function (and paid for), so why does my AppleTv not recognize my MobileMe account?

My AppleTv are not recognized in my iTunes. It does not show. Why? I can steam my iTunes and it's working, but shouldn't it be seen in my iTunes?
Kind regards from
Steen Pihl

the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes, as it connects via HomeSharing.

AppleTV - Video Format Not Recognized

I know this question is out there, but I can't find the answer that helps. I have one of the Apple TVs that you sync to, not stream, and I've downloaded a bunch of digital workouts that I purchased online. I've never had a problem playing them before and now I'm getting the message that the format is not recognized on some of them. They're all the very same format (Mpeg-4). I've tried rebooting, resyncing, deleting them and adding them again.... I just don't get it! All of my software is up-to-date too.
It's REALLY ticking me off! These workouts weren't cheap, so I'm quite displeased that I can't use them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What resolution and frame rate are these videos, where did you purchase them from.

Some data DVD's and External Hard Drives not recognized by Leopard only.

1] Some data DVDs that were burned under Tiger do not show up in Leopard. Only a dialog box asking what I want to do with the blank DVD comes up when I insert the disk. On my Tiger computer, the disk shows up perfectly fine. It is a DVD+R being used on a MBP 2ghz... and was burned on that very machine in Tiger and would load fine in Tiger. Now nothing on the same computer in Leopard. I'm going to reburn the disk on my Mac Mini on a DVD-R, but still wanted to know any ideas or input as to why it won't recognize the disk.
2] I also have an external USB2.0 HD. I formatted the disk using my G4 Mac Mini (which has Tiger) and it is not recognized on my MBP. In Disk Utility I try to reformat the drive, but it says that it cannot do so because the "resource is busy". I plug the drive back into the mac mini and it works perfectly fine. Why would this be and how do I correct it?
Full updates on both OS's. No other problems with either computer that I know of.

Unfortunately, commercial DVDs that you have bought 99.9% of the time will be copy protected and Apple's forum terms prohibit discussion of circumventing the copy protection. In various places circumventing digital copy protection is potentially illegal even if you own and intend to keep the DVD. Hence Apple do not wish DVD rippers etc discussed here.
Another problem is that AppleTv cannot play back DVDs copied to an external drive as it does not understand the format. So even if you can 'copy' your DVDs you then need to convert to h264 format to play on AppleTV.
Video formats for AppleTv are limited. They also do not support DVD like menu structures (thogh AppleTV 1 did with itunes Extras movies).
If you have unprotected video you wish to convert eg home video on DVD, then something like Handbrake or MPEGStreamclip with Apple's MPEG2 component might do the job. These programs are not DVD rippers but can process unprotected MPEG2 video.

My Apple tv is not recognizing my Apple ID, what can i do?

My Apple tv is not recognizing my Apple ID, what can i do??

yeh me too. Everything seems to be working with my Thomson TG782T modem, it recognises the appletv on the wireless network, I can communicate with my itunes on my computer from the appletv menu system, my itunes library comes up on the appletv menu, but when trying to rent a movie it says that my password is not being recognised. Yet I can buy books from the itunes store using the same password from my ipad. I am at complete loss...my telecommunications company (Telstra) has no idea.
Do you think these little checks and changes to my password will help?

AppleTV Not playing .Mov files that will play in iTunes

After Major Hard Disc issues I had to use a Data Rescue II to retrieve the files.
All seems fine now except Data Recover II converted all of the m4v to mov files?
They play fine from iTunes, but apple tv does is giving me an error that file format is not recognized or it just does not load...
File Details are as follows:
Kind: QuickTime Movie File
Profile: Low Complexity
Bit Rate: 158 kbps
Video Dimesions:1280x720
Video Codec: h.264
Thanks in advance peeps!

what's the framrate?
bear in mind that just because something is in itunes, does not mean it is appletv compatible.
also, have you tried simply changing the extension back to .m4v ?

AppleTV not appearing/syncing in Itunes since the UK film roll out...

I know there are post on this already, but I've never had any problems at all with my AppleTV being recognized or syncing with Itunes since before now... I'd got a bit giddy with excitement over the roll out of the films on iTunes, so I decide to download a rented one from iTunes (no menu option to do this on the AppleTV at this point. The download went pretty smoothly taking an hour or so, and I was able to move it over to the AppleTv.
Interestingly enough the new Movie menu options had now appeared after being received. I had made sure that the AppleTV was up to date before this I may add and didn't have any further upgrades, so how did it get the new menu options?? So after that I noticed I was able to browse and buy films directly from the AppleTV ( but I have not tried this yet) Anyway...
I watched the rented film, and it was fine, all went smoothly, told me I had one more day to before I'd lose it... Shortly after watching it the iTunes I sync with on my MAC lost connection. Not a sign of it. Factory reset the AppleTV, re-installed iTunes. Nothing... Then I tried connecting from the AppleTV by syncing a new computer with the 'four digit code' And hey presto invoking that procedure brought up the AppleTV back in my devices on iTunes.
So.... Now all have to do is sync everything over again, fine, take a few hours I know. After three hours and more the sync freezes, so I cancel it. And guess what folks! No AppleTV in my devices as before.
Now as I say at the beginning of this post, I've never had a problem with syncing with AppleTV, I believe the introduction the films to iTunes has introduce a software bug, or maybe made an existing one worse!

Yeah ,this only worked temporarily. I don't know what's going on with my router and my AppleTV but it's proving impossible to reliably sync to the AppleTV when both the AppleTV and my iBook (the syncing computer) are connected to my router wirelessly. Sometimes, fiddling with the router fixes it, sometimes rebooting the AppleTV fixes it, but invariably, the time comes when I can ping and see the AppleTV from my desktop (connected to the router via ethernet) and not from the iBook (connected wirelessly)

USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

Aio Remote: PDFs not recognized by Google drive.

Aio Remote on iPad Air2 iOS 8.1.1 - I created a PDF on my iPad from my HP Envy 7640 using Aio remote app. In the files/document section it's there (3 pages) as a PDF. But when I upload a copy from Aio Remote to Google Drive it's not recognized by Google Drive as a PDF even though it has a PDF extention. I have other PDF files stored in Google drive that are perfectly fine. It must be something in your app that is the problem.

More info: if I send it from Aio remote as an email attachment to myself I get a PDF that I can upload to Google drive and Google drive reconizes it as a PDF. again proving it is Aio remote that is doing some thing wrong when uploading to Google Drive.

I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

I am having several problems. I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone. 1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes." How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data? What do they mean by passcode? I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated. In fact, I've never had a passcode.
2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone. In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder).
3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com). But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
Why is this happening? It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return. But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating. I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

No problem!
This will make it easy for you:

However if i run a small part of the above code...
SELECT *

It returns a lot of rows with a status of 2
Now i presume what I am going to do is to ensure that all the fields provide satisfactory requirements, with regards to the above code. Although I have many records in all the stated tables already.
