HDMI Cable Doesn't Fit

I have been wrestling with my Apple TV and the HDMI cable now for about 3 hours and I can't get the HDMI Cable to insert all the way into the port on the Apple TV.
Am I doing something wrong? I feel kinda dumb right now because I can't figure this out!

I had the same problem when I purchased an Apple TV from Amazon. There is definitely a batch of defective ones manufactured. Return your unit to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. I recommend purchasing direct through Apple, which is what I did and the new Apple TV HDMI fit in fine. I'm still learning how to use it but so far it work great. No complaints.

  • Hdmi cable doesn't fit, upgraded from old 21 imac...5yrs old to new 27 imac..the hdmi plug doesn't fit. any suggestions?

    Not sure what adapter cable you have but if your new machine is a mid 2011 iMac you need this cable. Not a replica of the cable you need the adapter cable Apple sells:

  • PCIE power cable doesn't fit!

    I didn't get a convertor with my MSI6800GT, as it was a demo sample, but my PSU supports 6 pin output, I did however get a cable thrown into the box at a last minute, which doesn't produce enough power.
    Cable 1:
    Normal ATI X800 pcie power cable, only fills two of the 6 pins in the 6 pin output, so doesn't produce enough power.
    PSU 6pin cable:
    doesn't fit!  The pin right under the attachment thing is square, on the other cable (which fits but doesn't have enough power) that's rounded and that fits fine.

    neuron,
    How about listing your specs and post some pix of the hardware in question.
    Take Care,

  • Dr. Bott Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable doesn't work.

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook (mid 2010) with my tv and I can't get it working properly. I have the HDMI cable, and the mini display port to the HDMI cable. When I connect the computer to the tv, the computer screen turns light blue like it is about to synchronize, but the tv screen remains black. After a moment, 2 boxes appear on my tv screen. One says "HDMI1: and  the other "no signal detected".
    I've tried with "detect displays", I've tried connecting to all the HDMI ports I have on my TV, I've tried basically everything but it still doesn't work.
    This is the adapter - http://www.drbott.net/product/7395-MDPA/
    My TV is a fairly new Samsung, and everything else is working fine, I don't know why this won't function. It's frustrating me.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    When I have this problem, it is because my Macbook Pro is using "Integrated" graphics vs the "Descrete" graphics.  I control this via the gfxCardStatus menubar utility.
    You could also try reseting the smc controller

    and/or resetting the PRAM

    That exhausts my ideas.

  • Cable doesn't fit into back USB ports

    My front USB port isn't working...everytime I plug a cable into it I get a message that reads "Power Surge on Hub Port" and it won't connect. My ports in the back are functioning, but I cannot connect my iPOd into them because the cord doesn't fit. Is there something I can buy (like a mini extension cord) that will connect them?
    Please help I am so frustrated. thanks!

    thanks so much for your help...
    I'm using a Dell Computer (it has Optiplex GX270 written on it) with Windows XP. If you need more info just tell me where to find it.
    Even when I plug in a USB cable (one that isn't connected to a device), the message still appears. The iPod connector does fit in the front, but not the back ones. I know the back ones work because I plugged a camera into one in the back and it worked, (it didn't in the front).
    I would just use the back ports for my iPod too but the cable is a little different and won't work. I think there is excessive plastic on the connector?

  • T510i eSATA/USB3.0 combo port: eSATA cable doesn't fit

    Hello,
    my T510i has a eSATA/USB3 combo port. I assume that an eSATA plug should fit in there. But the eSATA cable I bought doesn't fit. (It fits into my external hard drives eSATA port, though.)
    Can you help me with this, please?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

  • IPhone 3G stock and first gen charging cable doesn't fit cleanly.

    Has anyone else noticed that the charging cord that came from apple doesn't fit cleanly into their iPhone 3G? Mine fits crooked. It still charges and everything but it just doesn't fit right. This is true for the cord that came with the phone and the old cord from my own phone.

    It should fit flush and straight. I use multiple cables (the one that came with the iPhone, a BT Travel Cable, an old Griffin cable in the car (the one with the pinch-to-release clasp) - they all fit flush and straight in the iPhone 3G.
    You might want to have yours checked out at an Apple Store.

  • External HD Firewire Cable Doesn't Fit?

    Just got a new (well, refurbished) 24" iMac this week to replace my Powerbook G4. I had a Lacie 250GB external HD connected to my powerbook by 6-pin firewire cable, and planned to use this HD with my iMac as well. However, the cable won't fit in my iMac... it's the right shape, but won't go all the way into the port. If I reverse the cable (i.e. try the end usually in the HD), it will fit in the iMac, but not the hard drive. What's the difference between my Powerbook's port and that on the iMac? Has something changed? Do I need a new cable? Please help!

    Ok, get this... in order to figure out what was different about the two ends of the 6-pin cable (which is supposed to be symmetrical), I looked directly into each end and saw that one looked "deeper". It appeared the gap between the pins went back farther in the end that easily connected with the HD and the iMac, while the other end had a plastic part between the pins... curious as I am at 12:30AM, I got a pushpin and was able to pry this plastic piece out (it fit perfectly around the contours of the pins, so I'm assuming it was supposed to be there or was a manufacturing element that should have been removed in assembly). Anyway, with this removed it works fine. Doubt anyone else will ever run into this same thing, but if so, hope this post helps.

  • Dented ipod, USB cable doesn't fit :S

    HELP! I dropped my ipod and the bottom has a dent in it and the USB cable won't fit in, will cost money to have it fixed at the apple store? Or will I have to get a new back??? please reply thanks.

    If the store can "bend" the iPod case back, they will only exchange the iPod for refurbished one. The price will be:

  • IPad 3 USB cable doesn't fit flush in back...normal?

    I notice when I plug the USB cord into my new iPad 3, it's flush in the front but not in the back. In the back, you can see part of the metal sticking out. Is this normal?
    Hard to believe Apple would not create a better-fitting cord for the iPad's sloped design...so I figured I'd ask. Worried I might harm my iPad with a defective cord.

    No, it is perfectly fine.  The iPad 2 is the same way, along with almost all the iPod Touchs, and the first 3 iPhones if I remember correctly.  The reason is so that you can have one cable for the iPad, iPhone, and iPods.  Trust me, if you use the cable from your iPad box, it will look the exact same.  Nothing to worry about.

  • Using the optical input/ output on Audigy 2 zs: cable doesn't

    So I've searched and can't find an answer on this forum
    The optical cable that I have that fits into the back of my Playstation 2 does not fit into the mic in (which I thought is optical in as well)
    So is it possible to have an optical cable go from a ps2 to the audigy 2 zs? Do I need a special optical cable?
    Thanks, this may be a stupid question, but I am lost cause on the card it does say "optical in" but the optical cable doesn't fit it.
    Thanks
    DD

    DD,
    There isn't any optical I/O jack on the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard at all so you won't be able to use your optical cable with the soundcard unless you have the I/O dri've bay like those from the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum or Platinum Pro. Do you have those I/O dri've bay instead of just the soundcard?

  • What HDMI cable for sony mhs-ts20

    I recently received a Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20 camcorder. What type of HDMI cable do I need so I can view the video on my High-Def TV? A regular HDMI cable does not fit this camcorder.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    The only Physical Connections to the MHS-TS20 are
    HD Output : HDMI (mini) and USB Port(s) : Flip-out USB

  • Have Sony HDTV bought in 2003;the video in/out thingy doesn't fit the apple tv prong.  What can I buy and where to modify so I can plug in Apple HDMI cable?

    I have a 2002 Sony HDTV "ready" tv and am trying to hook up Apple TV2.  On the back of the tv, the connection point where the HDMI cable goes in does not match the Apple connection HDMI cable.  I'm guessing that I need some sort of connector that goes into the tv at one end and that will accept the Apple tv 30-pin HDMI cable  Is there such a thing?  What's it called and where can I buy it?  Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV specifications state clearly that a TV with HDMI connection is required. DVI is not necessarily going to work as a number of people have found out, although many others have been able to get it to work.
    A DVI cable may perform the same function as an HDMI cable for passing video signals but the hardware cards that it plugs into at each end may not.

    The model 7,1 is actually the Mid 2010 MacBook and is the only MacBook with a Mini DisplayPort that sends audio along with the video, Here's some Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with audio adapters from Amazon.
