How do I get Apple TV to work with my receiver?

I have a new home theater. If I plug in my AppleTV to my TV, it works but the sound comes out of the TV. If I plug AppleTV into an HDMI port on my receiver, the TV doesn't know it exists. I want it to come out of my sound system thru my receiver. How do I get this working?

Cant get Apple TV to work with 5200ES receiver.

I'm hoping someone can help me understand what isn't working correctly here. I have a 5200ES receiver which is connected to an (old but nice) Fujitsu panel with a DVI input via an HDMI to DVI cable. I have other devices - Xbox360, Wii - connected via component video, and a Sky HD box connected via HDMI1. My 5200ES is curently set up with two front speakers connected in bi-amp mode (i.e. rear channels used to drive the bass/mid, front channels the treble), a centre channel and a sub. I have no problems with picture and sound from existing devices; although, in some circumstances, notably with the Xbox 360 playing movie trailers and some movies using the Amazon Prime app, I have had a 'tinny' sound that only seems to come from the treble of the left and right channel. But some other movies worked fine and I don't know why. I bought an Apple TV and plugged that in via HDMI2. I got no picture or sound. I used the Apple TV remote to cycle through available screen resolutions and couldn't get any picture, although occasionally got the message 'out of range' and occasionally got a flash of a screen with an Apple message on it, before either getting screen noise, or a black screen. Still no sound though. Eventually I went into the 5200ES menu and changed the screen output to 720p and managed to cycle the Apple TV to a 720p resolution and I got something on screen (having said that, next time the Apple TV went to sleep I was then unable to get back to any screen at all). But no sound so I attached an optical cable to the back of the Apple TV and to the OPT 3 input at the front of the receiver (as the only digital input I could share with HDMI2). I then got sound, but again this was only tinny and came from the tweeters of the bi-amped front speakers. Basically unusable. As a test, I connected the Apple TV to the HDMI-DVI cable into my Fujitsu plasma panel and it immediately dislayed a screen. No sound, of course, but that should be handled by the receiver anyway. I also took the Apple TV into our kitchen to plug it into a small Samsung LCD TV we have there that has an HDMI input. It worked faultlessly and displayed content with full sound immediately as you would expect. So, in summary I am not able to reliably switch the HDMI input of the Apple TV into my panel and see its output, nor hear sound from HDMI or usable sound from optical (which I shouldn't need of course, and looks unsightly with the extra cable draped over the front of the receiver). However, another HDMI device, being my Sky HD box, works perfectly. As it stands I can't use the Apple TV through my Sony 5200ES, so I'd appreciate any advice and guidance on what to do. I can only assume I will solve the sound problem by switching off the BI-AMP option as that doesn't work with all material or sources, and may allow me to get rid of the optical cable, but still have an unreliable screen display and can't easily switch between video sources until I know what to do.

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud?

How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud? It says that I have a valid ID, but that I can't use it with iCloud...
How do I fix this?
Thanks!!

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

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?

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 MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

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.

HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?

how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

How do i get my sim to work with this phone?

I just bought a used iphone, when i put my sim card in, it says it is lock. I have done this before and been able to use instantly, but this time it wont come on. HOw do i get my sim to work with this phone?

If your iPhone was unlocked and has relocked after an update to iOS, then the iPhone was hacked to unlock it and has now been locked back to the original carrier. You'll need to contact the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and request unlocking. They may refuse to do so since you're not the person with whom they had the contract.

How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7

How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7. It worked with the previous operating system

Not sure if this is the same problem others are having, but I used to play music on my Philips Fidelio by opening the Music app on my ipad and clicking on the box with the triangle (which has now disappeared in the new OS). However, if you have the philips dockstudio app, the box still appears there and I was able to get my speakers working again.
