Appletx and hdmi to RCA cable?

I don't have an HD TV and my input to my TV is an RCA three connector type. Can I connect my Appletv to my tv with a HD to RCA cable?

there are likely to be converters which will make a hdmi signal into a composite one (if you by 3 rca mean red white and yellow) but it will look like **** and it will not play DRM material as things rented or gotten from netflix or that sports thingy

easier to buy a new tv if you really want a atv

  • Apple TV Setup - HDMI to RCA jacks

    I need some help setting up my Apple TV. I have a Apple TV Gen. 2 and a Emerson TV with RCA jacks.  I have a HDMI to RCA cable.  I connected the cables in every way I know how and no picture comes up.  What am I doing wrong?

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • Touch5 @ ios7 no longer works w/ Apple's Lightning-(nor 30 pin)-to-RCA-cable adapter BUT older ios5 Touch and ios7 ipads2

    I'm a high school teacher and routinely project TED talk/podcast & other videos from my assorted Apple devices: Touch3 (ios 5), Touch5 (ios7) and iPads2&3 (ios7). I've successfully used Apple's 30pin-to-RCA, and 30pin-to-VGA, and 30-pin-to-Lightning-to-RCA cables/adapters. However, at ios7 upgrade to my Touch 5, projecting no longer works, at all, no sound, no video to projector. My 2 ipads (2 & 3 both at ios 7.0.2 continue to work fine as does my older Touch3 with ios 5.1.1. Prior to ios 7 upgrade to my Touch5, it also worked fine to my projector.
    Please forward this info to Apple Education Tech Support folks for their eval and, hopefully, a specific fix to re-enable Touch5 usage of the Apple projector adapter cables. Thank you.

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor

    Can the iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor? It works on the latest iPod nano but it doesn't on iPhone 6. I have spoken to the apple reseller sales personnel but he has no clue.

    If it works on the 7G Nano and does not on the iPhone 6 I would not expect it to work on the 5G iPod..
    Just what adopter are you talking about? Can you provide a link?

  • My macbook air won't detect display when trying to hook up with mini port and hdmi cable

    The screen turns blue and all it just won't show arrangments and then mirro display.. help!

    Try it, a complete power off/on!
    MacBook Air using Sony TV as monitor via Thunderbolt and HDMI.
    I could not get my 32inch Sony Bravia to "see" my 2102 MBAir using the Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter and a known good HDMI cable.
    So I took my MBAir to my local Apple Store,Encinitas California, along with the TBolt Adapter and a known good HDMI cable.
    The salesman tried the same connection from my Air to their 40inch Sony Bravia using my cables.  It worked perfectly. The Apple salesman advised  I return home and make the same connections to my 32" Sony, turning it off and back on.  I realized I had already done that test several times.  Then, it occurred to me that _Sony "off "using the Sony Remote Control is not the same as _Sony off completely. So I returned home and disconnected the AC power from the 32" for over 30 seconds then turned it back on with the Air &Sony connected via the Thunderbolt-to-HDMI connection and  with the MBA turned on. The image came right up on screen and is still working.  So, is this yet another case of " when in doubt re-boot" ?

  • Audio through RCA and HDMI not in sync

    Hi,
    Is this a common problem?
    Recently got a tv with hdmi so the appletv is now connected with hdmi to the tv. But it is also still connected to my stereo though the rca connection (for music or movies with soundtracks that I really want to enjoy).
    Problem with both music and movies is that the audio is not in sync between hdmi and rca. Hdmi is a bit delayed.
    Now for music this is not that much of and issue as I usually have the tv off and use the iphone remote to select music on the appletv which plays then through the sereo. But for movies it is, I have to turn off the tv volume completely. It was much better to have the sound of the tv also on for dialogue, gave a more natural impression if it did not only come from the stereo. But with the delay it is just not good anymore.
    Any ideas, known problem? Fixable?
    Thanks,
    S.

    Most modern TV's have an input lag during which various processing is applied to the video signal, and the TV audio will be delayed accordingly - the longer this delay the more you're likely to notice a discrepancy between RCA/optical and HDMI.
    This is not the AppleTV's problem.
    While you might want both audio outputs playing together it invariably causes problems.
    Only if your amp has some kind of delay function on the input could you compensate by slowing teh audio from the amp.

  • IPad and RCA cable connection problem

    Have been using iPad with RCA cables to show pictures on tv. Last week, all of a sudden my iPad is saying that the accessory is not compatible with iPad. Any suggestions or feedback is welcome.

    Have you tried restarting the iPad? (Hold down the power button until you get the red "slide to power off", do so, and then press the power button again to start the iPad back up.)

    I have an ATV 1 which is connected to my Bose Lifestyle System.  I just expanded the system outdoors using a second Bose System Amp.  Does anyone know if I'm able to connect my ATV 1 to the Bose expansion module in addition to keeping it connected to my main Lifestyle System using RCA cables?  The new amp has RCA input jacks for auxiliary inputs.  Thank you.

  • Difference if connecting to external digital receicer via mono to RCA cable and coaxial ca

    Please tell the difference if connecting from Audigy 2 ZS to external digital receicer via (/8 inch) mono to RCA cable and coaxial cable (from front panel with SPDIF out/in).
    Where can i get this /8 inch mono to RCA cable? I dont find it listed in the accessories of creative website.
    Thanks

    There is absolutely no difference as far as sound quality goes, as both are digital connections. You can buy a minijack-to-RCA cable at radio shack or any similar store. Just ask for a cable to connect an iPod to a home stereo; this is the same adaptor that you need.

  • Connecting Micro USB and HDMI cables at the same time

    I need to be able to use a Micro USB and HDMI cable at the same time to configure ATV to connect to WPA2-Enterprise secure WiFi network.  I'm using Apple Configurator to do this.  Because of the poor hardware design, it isn't possible to connect both the Micro USB and HDMI cables at the same time.  Does anyone have a worrkaround to resolving this issue? 
    I saw a similar post about this problem in the forums dating back to April 2013 with no real solution.  It's been over a year now and I'm hoping someone has found a workaround to this problem.  I have a bunch of ATVs that I need to configure for our classrooms. 
    Thanks!
