  • How to connect Apple TV when I have run out of HDMI Ports?

    I have a Sony Bravia TV with 3 HDMI Ports - in those I have connected:
    - Sony Home Theater Surround Sound
    - Playstation
    - Sky Digital TV HD Box
    Is there a way to connect Apple TV without disconnecting any of the above? (and without buying a new TV with 4 HDMI ports!)

    lkrupp is correct, the only soution is to add what's called an HDMI switch to your setup.  The HDMI switch normally has 2, 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs and one output.  The output goes to your display.  You then select which input you want to choose.In your case, you can do one of two things:
    Connect all your sources to the HDMI switch.  You then select sources via the HDMI switch and you no longer need to change HDMI inputs on your TV.
    Disconnect one of the HDMI sources you have (let's say it's the Playstation) and plug both the Playstation and the APPLE TV into the switch.  In this setup you need to change the input on both the TV and the HDMI switcher.
    The simplest setup in your case is to buy a 4 or 8 port HDMI switch and put all your devices on the switch.  If you are looking for inexpensive HDMI switches, you need to look at Monoprice.  The stuff is all manufactured overseas and can be hit or miss but it's the cheapest that you'll find.  If you feel like you need some guidance and help, then try www.hdtvsupply.com.  They have a good selection and great support.

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • How to connect Apple TV with AT&T Uverse

    Need help pls.  Not sure how to connect Apple TV2 to AT&T Uverse.  I know I need to connect one cable to my wireless router, and another cable from the HDMI port to my TV.  That part is clear.  But my Uverse router is in an upstairs closet, and my TV is downstairs in the living room - too far apart to connect cables to both devices from my ATV2.   Do I need to somehow put a bridge router next to my TV, so that I can connect my ATV2 to both my bridge router and to my TV?  Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with air play

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

  • My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please.

    My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please?

    It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
    You can try an SMC Reset.
    So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface).

  • Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor

    Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor.
    On SOUND preferences, I don't have the option for chosing HDMI on the OUTPUT sound.

    Do you have another HDMI port that you can switch to on the TV? Is the tv source on the matching HDMI port with the volume up? After checking those try the following:

  • "Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?"

    “Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?”

    To connect both iMacs, you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter, and a FireWire 400 cable, so you will be able to connect both Macs

  • How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

    Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
    How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
    I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
    Thank you in advance.
    ddrasko

    You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
    You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
    Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
    That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

  • How to connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp s35

    How do I connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp.s35 tv? I connected to one of my pioneer receiver's hdmi ports but when I cycle through the inputs I can't find apple tv.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't have or indeed know anything about your receiver, but unless the Apple TV can see an active device and connect via HDMI it won't turn on. You will need to set your receiver to use the correct input and then turn on the Apple TV.

  • How to connect apple tv when the hdmi port on my tv is connected to the hdmi modem

    I just got at&t uverse tv service.  The modem is connected to the hdmi port on my tv.  I bought a 4 in 1 out hdmi connector box, but don't know if this will work.  I've tried plugging the apple tv into one of the in ports, but I can't get it to work.  I've tried plugging both the modem and the tv into the out box and other components into the in ports, but it hasn't worked.
    Has anyone ever run into this problem where the tv hdmi port is used and apple tv requires an hdmi port?
    thanks,
    Joan
