HT202157 my apple tv won't activate with sony kdl-40hx701

i cant activate apple tv with the sony kdl-40hx701

Does it start up ok or do you mean you get no video at all?
If just black screen then
Check these troubleshooting steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Specifically I wonder if the AppleTV may be trying to connect with an unsupported resolution giving a black screen. Try cycling display resolutions using these remote commands in step 6:
If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Select button will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

Apple keyboard won't pair with any devices

I just cleaned my niece's apple wireless keyboard using the mister clean magic eraser. I did not removed the batteries in doing so. What happened was the keyboard did not interact properly with the mac that it was connected to. Now I've tried replacing the battery with a new one. I tried pairing this keyboard to my iPad air and macbook pro. It won't pair with both devices. When I tried putting in the numbers that the computer gives me there's a delayed response. Is they keyboard broke. Apple should've placed a reset button on the keyboard. I don't know what to do.

i just used the mr. clean magic eraser. it's a sponge that you use to wipe out the dirt. it did a good. I just didn't remove the batteries or the KB was on at that time so the LED indicator was blinking. When I was done cleaning my niece notice that it wouldn't funciton properly. I tried pairing it again. I followed that step were you had to hold the power button for 6 seconds to reset it. It still did not pair. I tried pairing it to my mac and ipad air. It won't pair at all. Whenever I type in the code to pair it. It would stop pairing at the first number that I typed. So I don't know what to do next. Apple should've placed a small reset button to reset the whole KB.

HT202157 our apple tv won't recogonize our itunes id

We have had our Apple TV for a year and had no problems until tonight. All of a sudden our Apple TV won't recogonize our itunes id and keeps saying to imput a different apple id. We only have one itunes id even though we have several apple ids on various devices. I discovered that our credit card that we had on file had expired but we corrected that and still can't get it to take our itunes id. We keep trying to input the itunes id and password on the apple TV but it won't take it. Please give us some ideas on what might be the problem and what we need to do to correct it. We have purchased the entire season of Modern Family, etc. and can't watch it!

We reset and restored our Apple TV and our router. We logged in to several other devices with our itunes account and no problem. We are going to try again tonight and maybe Apple will have updated the cc info. etc. But I have noticed other posts that have had several similar issues over the years. It is very frustrating though to have it work and then all of a sudden not work when we haven't done anything!

Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but the apple tv just continues to search. After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement. I've tried several times. I have rebooted both. Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure. Any help would be welcome. Thanks

As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this. He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard. I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB. I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV. Still no success. And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code? So the mystery continues.

Apple TV doesn't connect with sony bravia KDL-40NX720 TV

I'd like to connect my apple TV (bought yesterday) to my Sony bravia KDL-40NX720.
I connect the Apple TV with the HDMI cable but it doesn't connect to the Sony.
What can I try?

Do you have a 2nd or third gen Apple TV? The problem may be you have 3rd Gen which requires a 1080i supporting TV and I am assuming the 720 at the end of your model number means it is a 720i TV. That would support 2 Gen apple TV but not 3rd. Is that possibly the problem?
Check which ATV you have and the tech spec of the TV. If I am wrong please post again so we can look at other issues.
Hope I am wrong by the way!

E4200 connect with Sony KDL-46EX701 at 2.4 Only

My E4200 does not connect with my Sony KDL-46EX701 at 5 GHz. The set sees the 5 GHz at medium strength or highter, but won't connect. Password is correct and verified. The Sony's UWA -BR100 adapter should work at 5 GHz, and it did work with my E3200 at 5GHz (unfortunately, it also caused the tv to recycle off and on whether connected at 2.4 or 5GHz).
2.4 works fine with the E4200 and the Sony.
Problem occurs with 1.0.0.1 firmware and 1.0.0.2 firmware.

As my first post mentioned, I've been there and done that to no avail.
I also tried a Netgear WNDR4000, with the same result.
I've noticed that the 5 GHz reception on the Sony looks weak/unstable. I think the problem is that Sony's UWA-BR100 stick has poor reception, particulary at 5 GHz. Worked ok in winter and spring, but even indoors w/AC and good ventilation, my usable wireless range has always dropped significantly in summer when it's hot and humid.
Anyway, I gave up. I took and Linksys E3000 that I was going to return, installed TomatoUSB on it, set it up to be a wireless ethernet bridge, disabled the 2.4 GHz radio, and then wired it to the Sony. Then I manually configured the IP settings on my Sony TV. With the E3000 as a wireless bridge, the E4200 and the Sony connect perfectly at 5 GHz. Expensive fix, unfortunatly.

Apple Talk won't activate

I have an iMac G3, 400 MHz, 192 MB, running 10.2.8. My printer is a LaserWriter 4/600PS. It is connected to the computer by an AsanteTalk switch which allows me to use the ethernet port for Apple Talk. I have a G5 with an HP printer which I usually use; however, when I want to use my laser printer for a project, I use the G3.
The last time I used it, the printer worked. Today, the G3 will not recognize a printer. When it gives me the opportunity to add a printer, it tells me that I have to activate AppleTalk. When I go to network preferences, the AppleTalk box is already checked. I have checked it and unchecked it several times; however, I still cannot add a printer. I have even gone into the Classic 9 environment and tried to add it via the chooser, and when I click the activate Apple Talk button, it tells me Apple Talk is not available.

Donna,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried what you suggested. I first went to the Classic chooser and tried to activate AppleTalk from there. Once again, it would not allow me to choose a printer, and it told me to activate AppleTalk in the network preferences. I went to what I think is the Classic network preferences and checked for it to turn AppleTalk on and received this message: That application or control panel is not supported by Classic. In the process, I discovered that my extensions panel for Classic was turned off. I turned it back on and tried your suggestion again with the same result.
Before doing this, I ran Norton Disk Doctor on the hard drive, and it came up with one major problem and some minor ones. Only one of them mentioned AppleTalk, and it said it was fixed.

Apple Remote won't work with Non-admin account :-(

Hi all,
i have a Macbook (OS version 10.5.4). Earlier there was only one account on this laptop, and i was using it as an administrator. A few days ago i decided to convert that account to a regular (non-admin) one, and created a separate admin-only account. When i tried using my Apple Remote in the non-admin account, it wouldn't work at all ! So i tried it in the admin account, and i was able to use it and paired it with this macbook.
But on logging back into the regular account, it has stopped working again (even though System Preferences>Security says the macbook is paired with a remote). Please help!! It would be especially helpful if this could be fixed without having to create & migrate to a whole new account, etc... i'm open to command-line solutions [ that won't crash the machine ]
Thanks a million !
..meghana

Never mind. i logged out of the non-admin account and into the admin account, unpaired and re-paired the remote. Then logged back into the non-admin account, and voilà! Its magic i tell you! hope this helps any other people who have the same problem.

My Apple TV won't connect with my itunes store, even though I am connected on my computer and have my home sharing on- what do I do?? :(

We have recently moved and have a new television and internet system. My Apple TV screen goes to the option of 'computers' and 'settings'. I really want to watch Netflix and it no longer takes me to that screen. It says that it can't connect to the iTunes store when I try to test the network.
Any suggestions of what I should do?
I've restarted it multiple times. At one time I could get to the option screen that had Netflix and HBO GO and it told me that it was unable to open them and to try later. Why won't this work?!?

Hello jhunn1819,
The next step would be to restore your Apple TV.

The mouse is a Apple Magic Mouse a1296-3vdc (Not the mighty mouse with wheel, the sensor one). I don't think I can live without the scroll function..

There do seem to be known issues with the 7300. I'm temped to get an upgrade just for Photoshop performance.
In the meantime, I'm ready to do a complete reinstall on the new drive.
Hatter, what steps would you recommend for the most reliable results?

Full Screen Button won't activate with JAWS screen reader

Hi,
I use a JAWS screen reader for testing compliance issues. On some videos I'm testing, when I activate the Full Screen button, the video goes to full screen mode for a second and then returns to normal screen mode. Please, can anyone offer me a solution?
Thanks,
Rosemary

You should consult the JAWS forum. There's absolutely no issue with fullscreen on Flash itself. The issue lies with the JAWS text synth functionality.

Apple TV Won't Sync With All My Movies In iTunes

Hello,
I have been having various issues with iTunes on my iMac (kept getting damaged files, etc). AppleCare, The Apple Store and myself seem to finally have it resolved. However, each of my devices have to be synced once again with my "new" iTunes Library. Everything has been going well except for the AppleTV.
I have about 30 movies that I had on my AppleTV before the problem arose. These are all my own productions made with iMovie, etc. When I try to sync them now I am only able to download about 15 of them onto my ATV harddrive. No explanations given. I try to select and deselect the movies and sync over and over but still no luck.
I am up to date with all software.
Any suggestions?
Tom

could the missing content be corrupt or not in the correct format for appletv?
play one of the offending files in quicktime and open "movie inspector". post the results and we can advise if it is the file causing the problem or not.
