AppleTV with a 480p/1080i (non 720p friendly) TV

I have an older HDTV -- 480i/480p/1080i component input only. How will an AppleTV handle 720p files since I cannot use 720p as an input option?

So it upscales 540p and 720p to 1080i via component? If so, is the upscaler very good?
Additionally, if I view JPGs (mostly 6-8mp), do they display as 1920x1080? 704×480 upscaled even on a 46" TV looks pretty bad.

Can I use AppleTV with a monitor only?

I no longer have cable TV access (not enough value for its cost).
Can I use AppleTV with just a wide screen monitor?

Personally I'd go for a TV rather than a monitor as the monitor resolutions will not necessarily tie in with the expected AppleTv output resolutions 480p/576p/720p/1080i or 1080p. An HD ready TV with a lower than fullHD panel is still likely to work better than a monitor not suite designed for 16:9 signals, though the boundaries are becoming blurred.
Take a look at the AppleTV specs as content playback is more limited for video than you might realise without files in the appropriate format, and a MacMini might be worth considering with Front Row.

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2) and my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.1.2). Then for several hours last nothing was deliverable unless to another iPhone or iPad. Today, once again, I can text to non-Apple friends from my iPhone but not my iPad. On the iPhone there are buttons for MMS & SMS messaging, but not on the iPad. What happened?
Thank you,
bobbi

I was having this problem today with my 6 plus and my air 2. Additionally, I kept getting the message that iMessage needed to be turned on to send my messages. It was turned on in both devices. I wonder if there was a problem at Apple. My carrier is t-mobile, perhaps there could be a problem there.

1080i and 720p footage going to 576i DVD?

Hi.
Just getting my head around the best way to attack this.
I have a pile of 1080i and 720p footage which needs to be edited together with the final destination being a 576i DVD.
Now, being a country that uses interlacing and as at least half of my footage is interlaced, it seems a bit of a waste to
convert the 1080i to 720p and then convert it all back to interlaced again with the DVD encoding. So wondering about the merits of an intermediate 720i timeline? So the same settings as the 1080i but 1280x720 dimensions.
Is this a good/bad/stupid idea? Any better way to do this?
Thanks a lot

1.) They will be the same aspect ratio (16:9, square pixels), but each will take up more or less room within the frame than the other.
2.) If you start a 720p sequence, then yes, anything larger than 1280x720 will need to be reduced to fit entirely within the frame.
3.) You can select "Scale to Frame Size" by right clicking on the video clip, or manually resize the video through the source video's Effect Controls box. In addition, with the advent of CS4, Adobe has added a nifty little feature that was absent from earlier editions of Premiere, including CS3, and that is "Maximize Render Quality." This feature is checked from within the sequence settings dialog box, or selected from your export settings, and ensures that any footage that is scaled to fit the native resolution of the sequence will be handled appropriately so that it maintains maximum visual sharpness and resolution.
Keep in mind that there are different flavors of 720p and 1080i, so in future posts it would be helpful to designate which one you are referring to. For example, HD is defined as having a resolution of 1920x1080, and 1280x720 with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a pixel aspect ratio of 1.0, or 1:1. Panasonic DVCPROHD, through the use of line doubling, is actually 1280x1080 (1.5 pixel aspect ratio), and 960x720 (1.33 pixel aspect ratio), and Sony's HDCAM/XDCAM HD is 1440x1080 (1.33 pixel aspect ratio). Knowing exactly what format you are shooting in and what the native resolution you will be editing in will help maximize your results within the editing software and ensure that your video is not visually distorted. It will also offer you realtime playback direct from the timeline without the need to render, presuming you have a system that is up to spec.

I have been trying to send messages from my Non Apple friends/family from my I Pad. How do I get this to work??

I have been trying to send my Non Apple friends/family messages from my I Pad. How do I get this to work??

It won't. iMessage isn't an SMS service. It's for Apple-to-Apple and uses cellular data. SMS uses a cellular SMS plan, which does not come with your iPad. You'd have to have a cell phone to send texts like that. Alternatively, you can find an instant messaging app like Skype (they do messaging, not just video chat) or MSN Messenger that goes across platforms. You install it, they install it, you can chat with them.

Convert 1080i to 720p

I´ve got some 1080i movies (even self recorded) and would like to play them on my AppleTV.
Can I use Compressor to convert the 1080i to 720p? Should I use FCP? What should be the correct settings in Compressor?
Thanks to everybody trying to help me!!

Compressor is best for this. The easiest thing to do is use the Apple TV preset located in the Apple > Apple Devices section of the Settings window.
The default settings should give you decent results but if you are looking for a high quality conversion, try switching on Frame Controls in the Inspector window.
Set Resize Filter to Better, Output Fields to Progressive and Deinterlace to Better.
It is tempting to just put everything on "Best" but this will take a long time to encode. "Better" will be sufficient for most cases.

My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

My IMAC OSX 10.6.8 2.8 GHz intelcore 2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

Homesharing only works with computers. If your using an ipad you want to use Airplay instead.

How do I use AppleTV with Airpla with wirless speakers in multiple rooms

I like to think this should be simple but I cannot find out how to do it reasonably. I have a family room with a flat screen and have successfuly connected Apple TV to it. I have successfully connected my various devices (iPad and iPhones) to the AppleTV with Airplay.
The TV speaker ***** and I want to add a better speaker system to it in the family room; so far so good. My wife likes to also be able to hear the music in the living room without cranking the volume up to deafening.
Is there a way I can connect my airplay devices to the speakers through my AppleTV and to another (wireless) set in another room.
In an ideal world I could hook up wireless speakers (surround preferrable) with my AppleTV in the family room and a nother set in the living room. I could even have separte zones so i could watch TV on one set and she could lissten to music (wirless/airplay)_ in the other room. The speakers in the family room with the TV could be wired through the TV if that was necessary.
Obviously I would like to avoid latency between speakers so the ones in the family room and the ones in the living room are in sync if we are playing to all speakers through one source at the same time.
Thanks for any help.

Whilst the Apple TV is able to receive AirPlay signals it cannot send them, your best option is a hard wired receiver with second zone.

We have an iMac OSX Lion.I received a CD with photos on it by a friend of mine. She scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disk to me . I installed it yesterday. I can hear the disk spinning but no pictures come up. What would be the problem?

We have an iMac OSX Lion. I received a CD with photos on it from a friend of mine. My friend scanned the photos to her computer and gave the disc to me. I can hear the disc spinning but the pictures aren't coming up to view. Before having the iMac I had a Dell computer. I was able to view the photos at that time. Is there something I can do so I can view them on my iMac? Thank you.

The information I see in disk utility is the following: MacIntosh HD superdrive. 1TBST31000528A S Media

HT204291 Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
Thanks

1080i to 720p

Is it possible to convert a video from 1080i to 720p using FCP?

Convert it internally? Or upon export? What exactly are you trying to do?
If you want to convert a 1080i clip to 720p, the Compressor ADVANCE CONVERSION options are the best way...

Sync AppleTV with a second computer

I set up AppleTV with an iBook and everything worked beautifully. I bought a second laptop, which I'd now like to be the computer that syncs with ATV. Unfortunately, I can only make it stream to ATV at this point. What do I have to do to make my newer laptop the main syncing computer to my ATV? Thanks!

Not sure if I read your question right. But, once you remove the sync from the 1st computer, the TV will take off any content that was synced to it (does this as way to maintain copyright and all that in case you were going to give it to another person, etc).
Then when you tell it to sync to your other computer, the other computer will get the extra tabs for sync options in it's iTunes (not sure if you noticed, but only the one that syncs has options for all that...others on network can just share/stream).
So when you go to your other laptop (new one) you choose what you want to sync and it will all copy back down to the AppleTV. Could very well be all the same stuff if you copied your content all over or if you are using a common share on yoru network. But yes, first the AppleTv will drop all previously synced content, then with new synced computer, it will send back whatever that computer has set to sync.

Group messaging not working with groups that contain non iphone users

I have an Iphone 5 and for some reason I can't send/receive group messages with groups that contain non Iphone users. Basically I recieve single text messages/imessage from each person who responds to the group message. This is incredibly annoying.

Hello, megbu36.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Check to make sure that group messaging is enabled. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.
