HT4381 Help I'm Stuck with my Apple TV

Hi Anyone! I purchased an Apple TV to mainly be able to stream from my Iphone, it was recommended when I asked for assistance. Anyway I was told that I needed a HDMI cord, which I have and to connect the cord from the Apple TV to my TV. Well I do not have a port on my TV but I do have the port on my cable box that's connected to my TV. Once I connected everything I do not get a connection, I turned to every setting and still no connection. Do you think the problem is the connection set up because it's plugged to my cable box? Does this mean I need a new TV?

Moe,
I don't think you can route through your cable box.  You can get an HDMI splitter that will plug into one HDMI port but allow two cables to plg into it, I have used one and it worked well.  You can also get an adapter for HDMI to another type of port but lose the HDMI HD.
This is an example http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/300591909127?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&v ar=sbar&adtype=pla

    1. Try forcing reboot by holding down the home button and power/sleep button at the same time until the screen restarts.
    -- IF THAT FAILS --
    Let the phone battery drain.

  • My iPad is stuck with the apple logo!!! Please help me

    My iPad is stuck with the apple logo. it just shut off, and I turned it on, and the apple logo won't go away. sometimes the screen goes black, and then the apple logo shows back up. Help!!!!!!

    Have you tried rebooting your iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that does not work, you can try restoring your iPad iOS Software.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
    Make sure that you read the article all the way through and pay attention to the last part that talks about using recovery mode.

  • I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

  • My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it , Help!

    My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it and i have tried holding the home button and power button down for 20 seconds but nothing is happining , meaning the phone isnt loading up has anyone got any idea what the problem could be ?

    Plug the phone into your computer via the USB cable and open iTunes.
    Once you have connected the phone to your computer and opened iTunes, hold the home and sleep buttons down until it goes blank.  You are now in DFU mode.  Click the restore button in iTunes.
    Note: You will lose all data.  You can restore from a backup if you previously saved one.

  • Stuck with the Apple and nothing else

    It seems many are having problems with the recent software update. Me too - can anyone help?
    Following the update I am now stuck with the Apple sign. When I do a restore (Menu/Play) the apple sign dissaperars, then comes back and I am back where I started.
    My computer no longer recognises my iPod either!
    Any ideas?

    The most likely solution, Angel, is to restore your iPod then re-sync with iTunes to load your songs on. See this:

  • Brand new IPhone stuck with the Apple logo

    My phone is brand-new, bought it yesterday together with two more for my sisters, and it asked for an update. After it finished updating, it told me to connect to Itunes, which I did. As soon as I connected it to Itunes, the only option left was to restore. I waited 10 minutes for it to restore until it came to the finishing point, but in the end, there was an error, and since then, my phone has been stuck with the apple logo on it. I tried turning it off by pressing the sleep button and the home
    button at the same time until it turns off, but when I turn it on, the apple logo comes back and stays. I left the apple logo on the entire night to see if it would go off, but the apple logo only came off when the battery ran out. When I started charging it this morning, the only thing that happened was the apple logo coming on again and staying. I tried restoring it twice yesterday and in those two times there was an error. My sister also had an update and her phone didnt ask to be connected to Itunes, it just turned on and had a start up as if it was the first time she was turning it on. I don't know whether the problem is my computer or the phone... Can anyone help me?

    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 iPhone fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Connect to iTunes and restore. If you have difficulty, you may have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

    i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

    Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

  • Stuck with the apple and the scrolling gear while booting

    Hi there
    i am using my mac for more than 2 years , i did not format it or even fix any thing into it but now something bad happend...
    accdentaly my genius friend preesed the power putton for more than 5 seconds to start up the computer and i heared a sound and a the normal flashing light under the track pad and suddenly i was stuck with the apple gray booting screen and the scrooling gear and the computer does not go further .. i left for 2 hours and it still stuck with the same screen ... try to restart do any thing no results also ...
    NOTE: THE BIG PROPLEM IS THAT I PUT A PASSWORD FOR THE FRIMWARE AND I FORGOOT IT SO I CAN NOT USE THE FOLLWOING:
    1-the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
    2-the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
    3-the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
    4-Diagnostic volume of the Install DVD.
    5-mode by pressing the Command-S key combination during startup.
    6- a reset of Parameter RAM (PRAM) by pressing the Command-Option-P-R key combination during startup.
    Requires the password to use the Startup Manager, accessed by pressing the Option key during startup (see below).
    7- Safe mood.
    8-Single mode acsses and the other one i forrgot its name.
    SO I FIGURED THERE IS NO WAY BETER THAN THE PRIVIOUS WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROPLEM
    IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR ANY THING SO I CAN FIX THIS THING ?
    Thanks in advance >>>

    I was mistaken about the PMU..with a little more digging I found that Open Firmware password can be removed if you change the amount of memory installed.
    I found this info here: http://archive.macosxlabs.org/documentation/firmwaresecurity/faqs/faqs.html#remove_passwordprotection
    The following is a link from Apple's site to download the user's manual for your iBook:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG4(Mid2005)_UsersGuide.pdf
    It provides the instructions to add or remove memory from the machine. If you do have additional memory installed then you'll be able to remove the memory, and reset the PRAM, that way your password is gone. Hopefully from there we can figure out and fix your startup issue.
