How do you hook up apple TV when existing TV has one HDMI already in use for satellite

My TV has one HDMI outlet.  Its being used to hook up to my satellite box.  When I unplug, I lose picture.  I thought I could may be hook Apple TV into satellite box, but that also only has one HDMI outlet.  Does anyone know how to hook up Apple TV with this set up?  TV is a Sony KDF-50WE655 and I think is about 8 yrs old.  Satellite box is DirecTV HD DVR (not sure which model).
Just bought my Apple TV, so think it is Apple TV3.
Appreciate any help anyone can provide, thanks!

  • How do you remove an apple id when you can not contact the previous user?

    I am working with a local Pawn shop that purchased an ipad from an indavidual. They restored the ipad and apparently, the contact info from the user is bogus. So, is there any way to get the apple id removed when you can not contact the previous owner? I have the serial number and any other info that may be needed.

    No, there is no way to remove the previous user ID. If the previous owners information was bogus the iPad is likely stolen.

  • How do you put new apple ID in instead of old one in the window for signing in or making purchases?

    When I sign in or make a purchase, a window pops up with old Apple ID instead new one that I recently changed.

    You cannot transfer items to a different iTunes account.
    Stick with your original account.
    Go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com
    Answer the security questions instead of email.
    If you can't get it sorted this way,  contact -> iTunes support. (iTunes > iTunes Store > Account management).
    If after this, you still cannot get it sorted, use any other email you may have and change the new account to that email address and remove any CC info there.. (you could create an account at gmail and just quit using it after you are done).
    Then you can use the current email address for your old iTunes account.

  • How do you passivate/remove a bean when the client has crashed ?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to deal with a 'hanging' stateful bean. The problem arises when a client is killed abruptly, while the bean is in the middle of a transaction. The result is that the bean stays active in cache, and doesn't get removed or passivated. I've tried changing various timeout settings, but none of them seem to do the trick.
    Using stuckthreadmaxtime works (sometimes) in reporting the event, but I don't see how to make it do anything useful after that.
    How can I get weblogic to remove beans that have been in memory over a certain amount of time, regardless of their state of activity ? And is there some way of doing this that would call the bean's passivate/remove function so I can include a call to roll transactions back ?
    Thanks,
    Leif

    Well, I believe SFSB are pinned in the cache while they actively in a transaction.
    I believe the default tx timeout is 30 seconds. Did you increase that value?

  • How to create an Apple ID when it says my email is already used

    HHow to create an Apple ID when it says my email is already in use?

    Hey nancyfromsanford,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are having issues creating an Apple ID. Is there a reason you are attempting to create a new ID? Since you are able to post on these forums, you already have an Apple ID account. Your email address may be associated with this account - which would cause this error message you are receiving.

  • This is so basic: How do you turn off Apple TV, or do you just exit by changing the Input back to regular TV? When I put Apple TV to sleep, I had to log in again, a very tedious process with that awful "announcer" for the hearing impaired (how to remove?)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will put itself to sleep. I'm not sure what you needed to log into again, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a little more detail about what happens.

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

  • How do you change your apple id on your iphone 5

    how do you change your apple id on your iphone 5. I also increased storage and cannot update to latest software upgrade! ANNOYING!!!!
    Yes, I logged in and out of the Ap Store and it is correct on that end. I have signed in on my PC too and connected cell. I am out of tactics to resolve! Please help!

    If your phone is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it to an updated version of the old ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
