HDMI or Component: both are flaky

OK, here's my story:
I have a 32 Sony LCD TV hooked to a Sony HDMI Receiver (DG-1000). I have many components hooked up to the receiver (HD cable box, PS3, Wii) through various connections (Component, HDMI) and all of them work fine. I tried hooking up the Apple TV via HDMI and everything works great... until I switch the input or turn anything off. Then, when I attempt to use the AppleTV again I get the dreaded HDMI handshake problem... Apple TV blinks amber for 5 minutes or so, then it resets itself, I choose a language and screen resolution again, and it works again. Annoying as ****. Eventually I learned if I just unplug the ATV immediately it will "fix" itself faster.
I finally got tired of dealing with this and I decided I'd just use component. So I hooked it up (optical cable for sound) and everything works at first, but eventually the receiver will stop receiving a picture signal from the AppleTV. The sound still plays and I can hear the menu working so I know the ATV is still working fine, but the picture either "freezes" (showing a static frame of whatever the last thing it was showing was) or just completely cuts out (the TV acts like it stopped receiving a signal completely). If I unhook the component cable from the Apple TV and hook them back in it will work, but the problem will eventually happen again. I tried 2 different sets of cables.
So, I can't use HDMI because of the ATV's horrible HDMI handshaking and I can't use component for some unknown reason. What exactly am I suppossed to do? Again, for the record, all other components work fine with this receiver/TV combo, over both HDMI and component.
Thanks.

Try connecting directly to your tv with hdmi or component and only connect ?tv sound to your receiver.

Will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are in use

will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are being used .
If splitter will work any recomendations as to best type to use

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

What cables are best when connecting apple tv, my HD tv has 2 HDMI slots but they are both in use, one for Sky and one for cinema. There are no hdmi slots spare on the cinema either ...

Mine has four Seriously shauntana the splitter is easy, a simple click to changre feed and eventually you will damage the HDMI port or cable by taking it in and out. True you can only use one feed at a time nut you can only use one port on the telly at one time too. I used it on my old one port telly for PS3 and Sky and it worked a treat.

Video out settings HDMI and Component out run at the same time?

Does anyone know if I can get video out of both the HDMI port and component video connections at the same time. Trying to distribute video throught the house on component, and still get HD on the flat panel in the living room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple says when both HDMI and component are connected, HDMI will take precedence over component. Short answer: no.

HDMI to Component

I have a pretty nice rear projection HD TV (Mitsubishi 1080i) but it only has component connections!!! I know I need a HDMI to Component converter but there are not many out there for sale and I was hoping someone with some experience can point me in the right direction!
Thanks!

No sure which model Mitsubishi you have but my Mitsubishi model # WS65813 has a DVI connection that Im using. So it's HDMI from ATV to DVI to your TV for video and Optical audio out from ATV to Audio receiver for audio. Here's the cable you need for video (much cheaper than a converter).

AppleTV only gets clear picture on HDMI 1, HDMI 2 and 3 are dull pictures

My new AppleTV works fine but only in HDMI 1. Both HDMI 2 and 3 are a very dull picture. I've got a Panasonic 42" plasma. TV looks dull when plugged into HDMI 2 and 3 also. What am I missing?
I couldn't have 2 bad inputs could I?
Your help is appreciated.
Cheers
mrjazz

Does the Panasonic support different Picture Settings for each input - a desirable feature but which could cause confusion.
Are HDMI 2 and 3 inputs set for Cinema or Eco mode or similar, rather than Normal or Dynamic (I think these are the names)?
Brightnes/colour/contrast may all be independently adjustable too, if settings are adjustable for each input ensure they're identical before making comparisons.
Cinema mode will look washed out comapred to normal/dynamic but is often regarded as mre faithful and less saturated but it all boild down to personal preference.

HDMI and Component on Media Live not working - configurable?

I have a new Media Live and a Vizio VO42L TV. I plugged the PC into the TV via HDMI and component (not at the same time of course) but it does not display. Yes, I had it the TV on the correct inputs when testing. The only way I can get anything on the TV is to use the RGB connection. I certainly did not buy this PC to use RGB!!!
Anyone have any advice on what to do here? Is there any way to configure the outputs on the PC, to maybe turn the HDMI or component outputs "on"?

I have tried two TVs now and two HDMI cables - no go. The HDMI out on this Media Live PC appears to be broken. My test consisted of turning off the PC, disconnecting all cables, turning it on and letting it boot up then turning it off by quickly depressing the power button (so Vista initiates a shutdown). I then attached the HDMI cable(s) to the PC and plugged it into the TVs. Results:
Vizo LCD: I can see the MSI BIOS screen but it is flickery, green and has snow and lines all over it. As the boot progresses into Vista the TV switches off the display all together and displays "Not Support!"
Pani Plamsa: Same green screen on boot followed by the TV seemingly turning off the display all togehter (default Pani blue screen you get when nothing is connected to the line in).
I have tried all the HDMI inputs on both TVs with two HDMI cables in this manner - no go.
Is this something MSI support can help me with or do I need to RMA this back to Newegg? I have to postmark the RMA to Newegg by 12-16, so a reply from someone at MSI before then would be really great!!

What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

hi nagaraju
sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
id Name
198 XYZ
475 ABC
545 PQR.
loop at itab where id > 300.
write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
endloop.
My output will be :
475 ABC 2 1
545 PQR 3 2
Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

HT3819 how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad didnt help.

My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad did not help.

I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message. I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message. Is there some trick to this? Very frustrating!

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.
