ATV and Sony RM-AX4000 Remote
Has anyone been successful using the Sony RM-AX4000 remote with the Apple TV. When I try to get the Sony Remote to learn the Apple remote, I get an error basically that the sony isn't picking up the signal from the apple remote.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Scott
If you have your ATV connected to your Sony TV by HDMI cable, check the settings on the TV for that input and make sure it is enabled. If the TV has a DVI connector or component inputs you could connect it with component cables or an HDMI to DVI cable to do the setup and run the audio separately.
You need to run the sync setup from the ATV before your iMac will recognize it. Unfortunately, you can't do that if you're not getting ATV video on your TV.

I just purchased a Sony TV KDL-40EX500 and BluRay BDP-S570 last week. Today my Apple TV arrived. I have not been able to have the TV/BluRay recognize the ATV. I have tried everything and have been at it the better part of the day. The light on ATV is white and blinks when I push any button on the remote.
I do not know if my iMac should be recognizing the ATV or not. But it does not seem to. I called Apple and was told that it was a Sony problem. More frustration, Sony seems to fix its problem with online chatting which seems like a pain.
I have connected the ATV via a HDML cable to the #2 input of the TV.

Can anyone tell me how I connect the atv to my denon 3806 avr with an hdmi cable. There are 3 hdmi outlets on my receiver but I can't get it all to work. The atv works connected directly to my sony lcd tv, but the sound is through the tv and not very good. I'd like to listen to my music and watch movies with surround sound.
Thanks. So you have one too (Denon avr). I have fantasies of strangling the tech writer and designer of the remote. I am more than happy not to change anything for a while. Every time I do anything, no matter how simple, I screw it up and spend hours trying to figure out how to get it back again. I will never buy another Denon product. I don't care how many good reviews they get, or how good it sounds when it's finally hooked up, I think they are a bunch of sadists. And the manual is totally useless. And there is no number for tech support that I've ever found. The receiver is a total nightmare, even though it is working fine now. (after 3 days of torture.)

I recently bought a floor model Sony HT-CT100 Remote that did not come with the remote. It works for the most part with my Universal Remote but I'm unable to change the Audio Modes listed on the Sony Website:
Sound Fields : 3 Movie Modes (CINEMA/SPORTS/GAME)
2 Music Modes (MUSIC/PERSONAL AUDIO)
1 A.F.D. Mode (STANDARD)
Any advice on where I can get a replacement remote?Go to Sony's website and type in the model number of your product in the search window and that should bring up the model. Look under parts or repair.

Laptop computer and Sony lcd "Z" tv hookup
I am building a new house and I am buying a Sony 46" Z series tv that will be wall-mounted. I am also going to buy a Sony blue-ray player and a Harmony 890 remote control. I have a desktop pc with a wireless-G Linksys router and want to buy a laptop. How can I connect my computers to the tv so all my mail and the internet showup on the screen?
DVI is one form of video connection. Most new monitors connect to PCs using DVI.
I definately suggest an LCD if connecting to a PC.
Wireless functionality has nothing to do with video.
PC input isn't very specific. There are three ways a monitor or TV can typically connect to a PC:
VGA analog - This uses a D-shaped 15-pin connector
DVI digital - This uses a square-ish connector, I'll try to dig up some pictures tonight
HDMI digital - This uses a very thin connector. It is electrically compatible with DVI, so you can get DVI-to-HDMI cables that allow a computer with a DVI output to connect to a monitor or TV with HDMI input. Note that while HDMI also supports audio in the same cable, few PCs support HDMI audio output. (Most don't even have HDMI outputs, requiring the DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter I mentioned).

You View and Sony Bravia HDMI connection issues
For what it is worth I though I would post a solution that has worked which solved compatability issues between some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView boxes.
I have used a YouView box with no problem via a SCART on an old TV
I invested in a Sony Bravia - installed today by John Lewis
The YouView was only recognised by the Bravia if it was switched on by the power switch - once on it bringing it out of standby via the remote and selecting the input on the Bravia would only lead to a Blank Screen on the Sony (it would also not swiitch automatically to the input the YouView was on).
Long discussion with Sony followed and Sony said "most" of their TV's would recognise YouView via HDMI - but some had "unexplained" compatability issues - when asked what I should do the Sony man said if this was important I should ask John Lewis to change the set.......
Helpful discussion with John Lewis support - I did not want to change the set and JL suggeted connecting the YouView to the Sony HDMI via an HDMI "switch" box - only connecting the YouView to the switch box. (It seems that the Sony will recognise the switch - but not the YouView directly....)
Bought a Switch from Maplin (HSW0501BN) - connected YouView to the switch and the switch to Sony Bravia TV via HDMI - and it works brilliantly.....
Turning the YouView on/off via the remote from standby changes the input source to the YouView on the Sony - and it has always been recognise by the Sony - no more blank screens.
A pain in the neck for a new TV - clearly a problem with some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView - it would be nice if both YouView (Humax) and Sony could talk together to fix it....
But for now it seems the intermediate switch gets over the issue.
I thought this was worth sharing in case anyone else has the same issue - I cannot say it will work for every-one - but it worked for me - thanks to John Lewis support.............
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi
It's a SONY KD-55X-8505BBU -- It's the "lo-spec" 4K model and works brilliantly.
The SONY man said "most" of their TV's work with YouView HDMI - but they have had some instances of incompatability and could do nothing about it.............
The YouView worked with the SONY - but it needed to be switched on and off for the HDMI to recognise it - I temporarily ran it through the SCART - which worked OK (to which the SONY man asked why I was concerned if it worked with a SCART!!!)
The advice from John Lewis was great - just connected the YouView HDMI to a HDMI switch box - and connected the swirch box to the SONY - it all works fine now.
It just seems that SONY are not aware (or are not prepared to tell you) the solution - and only higher level John Lewis staff are aware of this (the John Lewis installer was stumped).
Not sure anyone else will have the problem (although I have seen several reports of this on the web) - and I am happy with the solution - just wish the (paid for) installers knew - and that SONY knew/or were prepared to tell you (guess they did not want to be asked for the price of the HDMI to cure the "incompatability" problem).
I was so amazed at the poor response from SONY and I asked them to confirm that the call was recorded and took the recording number - needless to say John Lewis was not impressed with Sony telling me that the only solution was to send the set back to John Lewis -- Sony have suffered a big drop in my estimation - although the TV is brilliant...... -
Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem. -
Replicating clobs and blobs in a remote database across dblink
9iR2
When creating a materialized view in a warehouse pointing to a remote table in an OLTP environment, I got this error when trying to replicate a table with 3 clobs.
ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
So, how does Oracle recommend replicating Blobs and Clobs in a remote database/warehouse? Evidently using materialized views doesnt work.MV replication is obsolete.
Move to 10gR2 and use Streams. -
I have 3rd party software wirelessly injected and used on my iphone with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford and apple security is not updated for this technology) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail breaking my phone, adding and removing software, changing settings all from a remotely controled device from different location (I have a Mac address I'd of this device to know for sure). Almost undetectable. When I look at the legal section of my phone it shows a list of all the unauthorized 3rd party software "as is" copyright encrypted on the phone. This is the most basic way to legally steal software of any kind. Because of this legalality 3rd party ownership have total control of certain software correlated with hardware use including visualization technology, etc. most people luckily will never have this happen to them so it's unlikely many readers have not a clue of what I'm saying currently. Either way, without needing to obtain specific warranty of any kind "as is" copyright control makes system restores not a solution because the source code is not directly encrypted on the actual hardware device only a copy right notice must appear on the specific device 3rd party software validation making it extremely difficult for me to take control of the situation. Apple claims their iOS technology prevents this type copyright obstruction from being possible, however, according to my phone a new form of technology was used developed by Tom wu of Stanford university called the STANFORD SRP AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY which uses Some form of cryptographic authentication system and uses quote "secure remote password" which seems to suceed in hacking iOS apple technology apple claims is not possible to jailbreak an unstolen phone or without the owners consent As well as loading the device with 3rd party copyright Notices to make all of this legalized. My phone shows atleast 30 pages worth of legalized 3rd party copyright permissions! Yesterday my apple care provider labeled me a jailbreaker and refused to look at my legal documented proof which completely blew my mind because it voides my apple care contract I spent 100 on. This employee did not take all factors into consideration and made quick assumptions as well as verbally speaking to me as I'm an automatic criminal. I left the store yesterday with no payed insurance help on a problem I had no control over and couldn't prevent, leaving with voided contracts. This is an apple users worst nightmare and I have spent days researching all of this like i am some kind of lawyer only to be able to use my phone the way it should and spent alot of money on. I can legally backup any claim I have just wrote above currently and have a large source of data collected to prove apple is wrong in voiding insurance support on this issue. The problem lies in apple avoiding and not wanting to believe their software can legally be obtained ot "hacked". Yet still labeled a jailbreaker basically.. What should I do????? Been to local apple store 3 times and rebooted my phone as well sprint service restore 4 times and spoke with reps twiice on the phone. Spoke with my phone provider who said apple has full control over these matters so they can't help me. My case is according to apple "still open"...Anyone else heard of this or of Stanford's office of technology licensing? Maybe I need to buy a blackberry again or just use a landline so I can stop being my own lawyer and focus on other productive areas in life instead of this horrible mess. I shouldn't have to prove to apple I not a jailbreaker they should have to prove I'm one before voiding support I desperately need!!

I assume u guys don't understand what open source software is
Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data. -
My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon. It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN. Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens. Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!
This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900). This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock. You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
Hope this helps; worked for me. -
I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen. -
Purchased movie on ATV and it will not transfer to iTunes computer
A few days ago I purchased "The Blind Side" on my ATV. Watched it no problems. Recently I did however notice that my itunes was downloading the extras content. When I went to look for the movie in the library the only thing there was the extras. I looked on the ATV and the movie is still there. It is only listed on the ATV and not my iTunes computer.
After looking closer I discovered that several shows that I have subscriptions too were also ONLY on my ATV and were not transferring over to my iTunes library. Currently there are now 5 episodes of 2 TV shows on my ATV that are not in my iTunes library. I have tried to sync the ATV on several occasions. I have cycled the power on and off on all machines. Reconnected it to the router and more.
I am concerned about trying other options as I do not want the content to be erased from my ATV. Are there any recommendations?The same thing has happened to me. I am making purchases only via itunes until this issue is resolved. I had to contact Apple Support to have them "reset" the downloads so I could download them directly into itunes. Please submit a feedback report to Apple so their engineers will become aware of this issue and fix it.

iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done? The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad. We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.

I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID and PW?
Thank you so muchIf you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.
