Cable TV Remote to connect to Apple TV

I am trying to use my SHAW Cable TV Remote to connect to Apple TV. Have been able to "learn" the up, down, etc buttons but then it asks for the MENU button...the menu button beside the Settings button on the remote doesn't connect. Any other suggestions as to what Cable Button they are asking for?

I set the Audio button on my Shaw remote to a device I don't have, in my case I used the code for JBL audio 1306. I then went into the Apple TV and learned the up down left right & select, menu was set to menu. All works well, I don't have any strange things happening when I use my Apple TV (controller cross talk) but if you are a higher end user than me, and have JBL hardware, then just search for a brand you don't own. That should do it.

HT2822 Network Cable not overriding WiFi connection on Apple TV

I prefer to use the network cable so when I plug in the cable, the Apple TV continues to uses the WiFi radio. I would simply disable WiFi on the Apple TV but that's not possible. I guess I can erase the WiFi settings and password.
Am i doing something wrong

If you have stable wifi with good connectivity it should work fine - in reality many people struggle with wifi.
I was plagued by interference issues with wifi whenever the microwave was used and would always use ethernet now as my first preference for stability.
As the house is not wired for ethernet several years ago I tried mains powerline network adapters that are made by many companies.
I use these from Devolo currently:

They are excellent and you can create a wired network in minutes without running long lengths of cable.
As with wifi they never achieve the highest rated speeds and are dependent on the wiring quality but are more than adequate for HD streaming to multiple AppleTVs.
Many other manufacturers produce these eg Belkin, Netgear etc as well as lesser known brands.

I moved to a new place I am trying to connect my Apple TV to a new tv, I connected to power and hdmi but my tv is not reading the Apple TV and my Apple TV light is on all time and can't turn it off by remote

how to connect my apple tv

It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?

Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
Here is a typical HDMI 3-in 1-Out HDMI Auto Switch

Thanks for any help. Sincerely,
HDMI auto switch?

Hi Erico,
I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
Do you have any other ideas?
Many many thanks,

IPhone or iPad won't connect to Apple TV via Remote App

I am trying to connect to my ATV2 via the remote app on my iPad2 iOS 5.1.1 and a 3Gs with 5.1.1 and I can not get it to see my ATV2 at all. I have rebooted it and rebooted both the phone and iPad multiple times and it still won't connect. Funny thing is, I have a Galaxy S 3 and can use the AppleTVMedia app from the Play store and can connect to my ATV2 just fine!! Wouldn't it be eaiser for the Apple products to connect to Apple Products??? Anyone have any idea on what I can do to get my iOS devices to connect to my ATV2?

Figured out my Apple TV issue. It had to do with how I had it networked. I guess it doesn't like Ethernet over Power line anymore. When I have WiFi on the remote app works fine on my iOS devices. But when I plug in the Ethernet cable it doesn't see it on the remote app. I know its not my Ethernet over power line adapter because other things attached to it work just fine.
Gonna try and do a firmware update to see if that will help.

I want to hook up Apple TV but my One HDMI Jack on my TV is already connected to my HD cable box. My TV has jacks for s video, component, and PC in jacks.
Can I use one of them to connect to Apple TV with some type of cable to my newer I-pad ?

Here are the Apple TV outputs.
What other outputs does your HD cable box have?

I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

I am trying to connect my Apple TV to an older Panasonic projection TV using an HDMI to a DVI cable to the Digital IN. I cannot get any sound. Can you help?

DVI interface does't allow audio. Is there optical IN from your Panasonic TV? By then you can connect your ATV to Panasonic using optical together. It will work.

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
Help!

No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

Remote Desktop Connection with single Ethernet cable

Hi,
I'd like to be able to use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection app to connect to one of my XP machines with my PowerBook. I can do this when everything is running on my home LAN, but I'd like to be able to connect with just a single Ethernet cable connected from my PowerBook's network port to the network card of the XP machine. This would allow me to use the PowerBook as a monitor when I bring the XP machine offsite to run tests (I'm a computer technician). I've played with the Network settings in the System Preferences, but things that would seem to me to work don't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

When you're on the road, and these are the only machines connected to each other, you will either need to configure them to have static IP's in the same subnet
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3
255.255.255.0
no gateway/router IP required.
THey'll need to be in the same workgroup (but you probably have that already)
...or...
Configure the XP machine to be the DHCP server, and the mac to get IP from XP.
(first option is probably better.)
Might need a crossover cable. Might not.

How to connect to apple remote

How do I connect my Apple Remote-USA to my Nano IPod? I bought the remote a year ago, recently found it after misplacing it, and tried to pair it with my Nano IPod but it is not working. The battery is working. I tried the simple directions of holding down the right and Menu for 5 seconds while pointing the remote to my IPod but nothing happens. I want to control my IPod from the remote a few feet away so that I do not have to always go to the IPod itself and make my selections. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
Launch ARD, select Scanner. ARD presents Bonjour as the default discovery protocol. Click on this tab and select Network Address. Key in the IP addresses of the two you're interested in. Clearly you would have to know their IP addresses first so I would make a note of these if you're able.
The rest is fairly obvious from there.
HTH?

Apple remote to connect to my 'Air'

I tried to connect my Apple remote control to my Apple 'Air' by following the Apple instructions. It doesn't work; checked with 2 remote controls and battery. Any thoughts? Thanks, Rainer

THe apple remote uses infrared signals if I am not mistaken.
there is a red lens on the end.i
I don't think the MacBook Air has an infrared port.
you need to look for a radio frequency type of controller such as a bluetooth controller or a wifi controller.
there may be an iPhone app for what you want to do.
