How to connect my apple tv

Hello-
I recently purchased a blue ray player with a surround sound system. The problem is, my tv only has 2 hdmi outputs. So, can I connect my apple tv to either my cable box or blue ray player? Or does it have to connect to the tv. Thanks!

Hdmi is one way only most devices only have hdmi out

    Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.

  • How to Connect My Apple TV to My Panasonic SC-PT760 Home Theater

    Hello;
    I currently use the Panasonic SC-PT760 as the Home Theater DVD Player which only has 1 HMDI output and connects directly to the HD TV, also I have the Direct TV connected to the Home Theather via AUX.
    I am wondering how should I connect my apple TV, if I would like to connect ut via HMDI. Is a HMDI switch an option or what should I do ?
    Please advise.

    You can purchase HDMI switches but don't expect them to work perfectly in _every_ configuration. What I mean is that your mileage may vary, it may work, or it may not. However, chances are good that it will but I'd make certain that you can return the HDMI switch if it doesn't work correctly when paired with you DVD player and the Apple TV and your HDTV.
    By the way, does your TV have component inputs? If so you can use the Apple TV's component outputs to get HD but then you'll have to route the audio from the Apple TV either over standard RCA stereo plugs or via the digital audio optical connection on the Apple TV (assuming again that your HDTV has optical audio inputs, but I see that you receiver has an optical input so that should work too).

  • How to connect to apple remote

    How do I connect my Apple Remote-USA to my Nano IPod?  I bought the remote a year ago, recently found it after misplacing it, and tried to pair it with my Nano IPod but it is not working.  The battery is working.  I tried the simple directions of holding down the right and Menu for 5 seconds while pointing the remote to my IPod but nothing happens.  I want to control my IPod from the remote a few feet away so that I do not have to always go to the IPod itself and make my selections.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi
    Launch ARD, select Scanner. ARD presents Bonjour as the default discovery protocol. Click on this tab and select Network Address. Key in the IP addresses of the two you're interested in. Clearly you would have to know their IP addresses first so I would make a note of these if you're able.
    The rest is fairly obvious from there.
    HTH?

  • How to connect my apple TV to an analogue ampli / hifi system

      Hello, i have been looking for an answer to this question for quite some time.
    I would like to stream my music on my hifi system using apple TV as an airport express.
    I found out that this was possible by connecting the apple TV through the optical port to my hifi system.
    My ampli has only analague RCA ports. Is there a way to link these two with a good quality? I found "Digital to analogue converter" on the web but will it work? which brand should i choose to get a good quality?
    thank you very much

    You can use the remote app on iPhone but that would require home sharing to be setup and both on the same network. If that's not the case you will need a new remote.

  • How to connect imac-apple tv

    I'm trying to connect my new apple TV to my imac wirelessly (directly, without a separate wireless router), but I can't figure out how to set up my imac so the apple TV will detect it.
    Any info on how to set up my imac so that it will appear when I search for wireless networks on the apple TV?

    Thanks - that worked, and it is syncing with no problem now.
    As a side note, my imac only has a "g" airport card, not an "n" but video streaming seems to be working fine, even with most 720p Quicktime trailers that I downloaded and transferred to my iTunes library (most played with no problem, but some required conversion, possibly a bit rate issue?)

  • How to connect non-Apple wireless networks?

    Hello
    Before I start, I know very little about networking, so could do with some assistance please!
    In my office, I have a MacPro, fitted with an airport extreme. I also have a TL-WR1043ND Wireless N Gigabit Router, which I have connected to a ReadyNas NV+.
    In my house, I use my MacBook Pro connected wirelessly. The internet is accessed via a TP-Link TD-W8961ND 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router.
    Both the MacPro and the MacBook Pro connect to the internet cia the TD-W8961ND. The TL-WR1043ND resides on a separate wireless network. The idea is that I can access and store data wirelessly using the ReadyNas (which incidentally has become an issue since upgrading to Lion).
    The NAS needs to be kept in my office so it is secure and there is no direct telephone link to the office.
    Cutting a long story short, I'd like to make the two networks into one, so I was wondering if I could use the TL-WR1043ND as some sort of wireless access point (connected to the NAS) and joining it to the wireless network of the W8961 ADSL2 router.
    I don't know how to do this, so was wondering if somebody could help and perhaps guide me through some of the settings? I've searched the interweb abyss, without any joy.
    All the best

    As you can imagine, this forum is primarily for assistance with Apple networking so it may be a bit difficult to really be able to provide you with a step-by-step on how to configure both of these routers for Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    I did a bit of research and found the following TP-Link Support article that describes how to do this with a pair of their TD-W8960N routers and it may be worth reviewing to see if it can help you with yours.

  • How to connect to Apple TV via wifi

    How can I connect my OS 10.6.8 MacBook to Apple TV via wifi

    Hello nikmark74
    You would need to setup Home Sharing to get media that is on your computer to your Apple TV. To get connect to the internet, go to Settings > General > Network and select your Wi-Fi network. The article below will assist you further.

  • How to connect my apple tv to my 27 inch iMac?

    I have all the cables connected to my iMac, but I can't bring up apple tv. Please help!

    Apple TV doesn't connect to an iMac or any computer, it is a media streaming device and meant for an HDTV. Since you would be able to stream the content using an iMac i'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by connecting them.

  • HOW TO CONNECT MY APPLE TV 1ST GENERATION TO ITUNES

    i just got an Apple Tv 1st Generation without cables. i want to connect it to my Mac and sync it with Itunes. Which cable should i get to be able to do that

    If you want to transfer something off AppleTV to iTunes you can only do that for iTunes store purchases made on AppleTV, and only if they've never synced back to itunes before - when AppleTV appears in iTunes if you right click on the icon there may be a transfer purchases option.
    Annoyingly there has never been a way to use AppleTV 1 as storage like an external drive to salvage video/music/photos by manually copying them to the computer - doing so would entail hacking or dismantling AppleTV to access the drive directly and even then might be less than straightforward.
    The USB port on AppleTV1 is not for connecting/transfer of data but for 'diagnostic purposes'.

  • How to connect my apple devices to each other

    My apple gadgets has problem connecting each other, i am upset in my iphone 5 and ipod nano 7th gen connecting to each other in macbook pro..
    can you give me an advice to solve this problem...

    Exactly what do you want to gain by connecting them to each other?
    Apple has never used Bluetooth except to connect to peripherals. So if you want to move data via Bluetooth between them it is not going to happen.
