HT4366 Will appletv work if connected to the DirecTV cable box instead of the TV?

My tv is mounted on the wall so I don't want to have the hdmi cable hanging down the wall to the appletv.  Will it work if I plug it into my cable box?

The Apple TV connects to a spare HDMI port on your TV. It has nothing to do with your DVR.

  • HT201401 MY NEW PHONE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE

    My iphone 4 has been faulty since getting it on contract with 3mobile in jan.  The phone will work when plugged into a power source but not otherwise.  I have contacted apple and followed their inistructions but still not working.  Some one has told me it sounds like the charger connection within the phone does anyone else have this problem ??? i am losing patience with both apple and 3 now

    1. Try doing a hard reset while connected to the adapter:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • My ipod nano will not work unless connected to the internet - what can I do

    I have just downloaded music, pictures, etc., charged the battery and safely disconnected, but my ipod does not respond after the eject from I-tunes. What can I do to find out how to get it to work?

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

  • HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

    My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

    My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON?  From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
    Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
    If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly.  It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.  If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
    If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • My iPhone will only operate when connected to the PC, 2 minutes max after I disconnect it, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo and then completely black.  Restoring makes no difference; any ideas anyone? en

    my iPhone fell on the floor yesterday;  now it will ony operate when connected to the PC - then it works fine.  If I disconnect it from the PC, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo, eventually completely black;  iPhone is unresponsive until reconnected to PC.  Any ideas anyone?

    You broke it.
    It's time to find yourself a competent 3rd party repair shop or just buy a new phone. I believe you can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149 (not absolutely positive they still offer them for the 3G), but given the age of the phone and the cost, a new one might make more sense.

  • My DVR security sofware that I access remotely uses a "dvr .ocx" file....when I try it in Firefox , either the latest non beta (3.6.1.5) or the new beta version (4.0 rc) it will NOT work as it says the plugin is missing... it works in IE 8,but not IE9...

    My machine is Top of the range (my Company builds them so it had better be :) )
    Amd 1100t , 8gb ram , Windows 7 64 bit etc, etc...
    The is not a hardware problem , but a software problem with FF...Any help would be appreciated as I hate using IE 8 for anything at all :( but I have to keep it on my machines just to run my remote security cameras at my Computer shop ???
    Original question...as question length is limited ...not very bright that limit by the way :(

    As I own a Computer company I am fairly computer literate but cannot find a plugin that allows this to work in Firefox.... but I would have expected it to work in the new Firefox :(
    All the best, Brett :)

    The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
    I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

    - Do other devices successfully connect to the network?

    Sorry I would not know how to score a copy of the Program disc. I would not even trust it if I did.
    Photoshop is one of the most pirated software out there and in cases loaded with malware.
    Ok then, create a admin account on XP, log in and try running the cd there.

    If purchased from Apple, it will be officially unlocked & will work in India. Be aware, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will only support LTE in North America.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
