I am having difficulty connecting apple tv to our network via ethernet cable.

I am trying to connect to an apple tv on our office network. It seems to pick up the network configuration but doesnt connect when I turn on home sharing. We have a proxy server for connections to the internet so I dont know whether this is the show stopper or something else like incorrect setting of date and time.  I thought I could set up and use the apple tv without a connection to the internet. Any advice would be appreciated. If an internet connection is absolutely necessary may be I could set up an Airport that talks to our proxy server.

COMPUTERS  SETTINGS means AppleTV is not accessing the Internet network.
By "changing the lead" I assume you mean you've made certain you are using a proven / known working Ethernet cable and you've also attempted, unsucessfully, to connect via WiFi ?
If those things are true it sounds like you need to consult the school network administrator for onsite assistance.
I ran into this problem once but did not have time to work through it. I will duplicate portions of your problem today to see if I can better resolve your question

  • I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

    Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable???  My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
    You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.

  • Having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video

    II'm having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video or it won't stay connected. Help!

    Is it naive of me to think that Apple should simply provide a portal on their Apple TV menu for me to access my Amazon Instant Video movies?
    Maybe a little.  Amazon is a direct competitor, so it is not really in Apple's best interest to go out of its way to add support for a competing service that will cause Apple to lose money.  The bigger problem though is all of these video services using DRM to encrypt their content and lock it away from consumers so we can only watch content we pay for on certain devices.  Compaired to before when you could buy a DVD and watch it on any TV.  Now when you buy content you can only using it on a few specific devices.
    Is their failure to do so about an Amazon/Apple rivalry, or because the two have to make some kind of deal before this can happen
    They are competitors, but a bigger issue is that it is an incredibility complex legal agreement they would have to work out.  First there are legal agreements that would have to be worked out with literally thousands of copyright holders to distribute their content.  Then there is the software licenncing since Apple and Amazon would have to disclose how their DRM encrption works, then there are pateint agreements that can be worth billions that have to be worked out.  And all of that work would be so that they support a competator.  So there is not a lot motivating them to do something that would cost a lot of money and time.
    If watching Amazon content is really your major priority you might want to return your ATV and get a Roku.

    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • Connecting a Laptop to Airport Express via Ethernet Cable

    I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
    My question is can I make this work? After buying the Ethernet cord, all my reading of the AirPort Express manual seems to suggest that the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express is to only be used as an input port, not as an output. Is this correct?
    If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?

    Hello Brian Hunt1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
    Unfortunately, the network configuration your describing, where you would use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share the Mac Mini's wired Internet connection wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), won't work.
    If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?
    Only the "Pismo" PowerBook G3 is capable of using the original AirPort card. If you have this model, then the following DIY instructions will show you how to install it.
    If this isn't your model, then check out the following vendor offerings:
    o QuickerTek

  • Connecting TC directly to my macbook via ethernet cable

    Folks,
    I've looked at a number of posts on this topic but I must be missing a step because it is not working. Simply want to do file transfer via ethernet.
    so... I connect a ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook - what do I do next?

    dpm,
    This works for me when I have to temporarily connect the TC to my Mac via ethernet.
    *Create An “Ethernet Only” Location*
    While you are physically connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet you may still be experiencing slow data transfer speeds because your Airport network is still active and taking priority.
    Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
    Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
    At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
    Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
    Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
    Click “Done”.
    In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
    Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
    Click "Apply" in the lower right.
    You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
    Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
    You should still have internet access during this period.
    Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • Connecting aiport extreme and airport express via ethernet cable ?

    Is it possible to connect an airport extreme to an airport express via ethernet cable, I ask because I want to expand the range of my wifi network to the basement of my house, the floors are really thick concrete so I installed some ethernet cable runs, I hope somebody can help me, thank you.

    +How do I do it ? Do I connect the modem to the airport extreme and then run the ethernet cable from one of the extreme's ethernet ports to the express ethernet on the basememt and a second cable from another of the extreme's ethernet connectors to the express on the second floor+
    Yes, this is exactly correct.
    To configure each AirPort Express (AX)
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab below the icons to name your device, assign a device password and adjust time zone settings. Give each Express a separate name so you can identify then easily.
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode...Create a Wireless Network
    Wireless Network Name...Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme network
    Radio Mode 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) if you want to use 2.4 GHz
    Channel...Automatic
    Wireless Security...Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Password....Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
    Click the Internet icon
    Change the Connection Sharing setting at the bottom to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update at the lower right and the AirPort Express will restart in 20-30 seconds
    I think it is easier to configure each AirPort Express with AirPort Utility by temporarily connecting it to your computer with a short ethernet cable. Once you have saved the configuration, you can move the Express to the location that you need.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • How do I connect a printer to my TimeCapsule via ethernet cable?

    My printer doesn't have a USB connection, nor does it have built in wireless.  Just ethernet.  How would I connect it?  Just plugging it in doesn't seem to work.

    I have the feeling TC is not prepared for such an action, those eth ports are for connecting other macs / PCs via eth cable, i.e. those not having wl. Printing is via USB, as long as I correctly remember the instructions. I have a similar Apple device, the Airport Extreme, which is identical to TC, just it has no disk inside.
    It is not clear why you purchased such a printer before clarifying connection method.
    Perhaps others may jump in for help.

  • Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

    My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
    I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
    I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, great, I have a much better understanding now.  Thanks.
    Do you have an antivirus program?  Does it have a firewall?  If so, disable it to test.
    Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address.  Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.

  • Help connecting 2TB Time Capsule to iMac via ethernet cable only

    I have an iMac running OS X Version 10.9.3, and a 2 TB Time Capsule, which at our last residence I used both as my wireless router and Time Machine backup (via wi-fi).  We recently moved and got Comcast, which provided us with a very, very fast router.  As a result, I would like to start using the Time Capsule only as a Time Machine backup, preferably via an ethernet cable connection.  I tried connecting the Time Capsule to the iMac via an ethernet cable with no joy.  When I did, it seemed to bring back my old wireless network, which I don't want.  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Is it something specific about the Comcast modem/router that makes it so I have to plug an ethernet cable into it too (as opposed to just running an ethernet cable directly from my iMac to the Time Capsule, which is what I assumed was possible and was hoping to do)?
    Nothing specific about the Comcast modem/router, but definitely something specific about the Time Capsule in that it needs to connect to the Comcast modem/router over a wired connection to allow backups to occur over the Comcast wireless network. As we have said, the Time Capsule must connect to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet cable, as you see illustrated in the TC Setup Guide.
    This solution doesn't really work, as our computer/TC is upstairs and the Comcast modem/router is downstairs.
    Ethernet cabling can be run 300+ feet, or about 100 meters with virtually no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere that you want. My Time Capsule is located in a closet, about 60-70 feet away from the main router.
    is there a way that I can use the TC as an upstairs wifi extender and still do my Time Machine back-ups wirelessly?
    Yes. When the TC connects to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet connection, you could use the wireless capability of the TC to create a wireless network with the same wireless network name and password as the Comcast network. Then, you will have the same network upstairs and downstairs with much greater range.
    You will be able to backup to the TC using wireless....or, if you prefer a much faster connection....connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <--> ports on the TC.
    For example, let's say that you are making the first backup from your Mac to the TC when everything on the Mac is copied over to the TC. Typically, this might take 8-10 hours on average using wireless, but Ethernet would require only about 2-3 hours.
    Once you have the first complete backup done, you could then perform subsequent backups over wireless, since these will only take a few minutes each time that the Mac backs up with only the changes that have occurred since the last backup.

  • Connecting apple tv to a receiver via optical cable

    I connected my apple TV via a digital optical cable to the yamaha receiver RX-V477,but I have not figure out how to hear the music that is coming from the apple tv. Can you help me with the set-up in the yamaha receiver. Thanks

    Hey mgrossi,
    The Apple TV's optical digital-audio port, also known as as TOSLINK, carries both audio and video signal when used with the proper cable. See this article for reference -

  • Connecting iMac to Network via Ethernet Cable and Airport Express

    I've tried reading through the various posts to solve this and haven't had any luck. Any help is deeply appreciated.
    I have an Airport Extreme as my main 'base' for our wireless network. I purchased an Airport Express today with the notion of using it to extend my network in the following way: I want to connect an iMac and a printer to the Express (using Ethernet and USB cables respectively) and have the Express serve as a remote for the Extreme base. I have found a number of websites saying this is possible, but none explain how to. I tried the WDS option, which failed to work. I later saw posts here saying that was not the optimal scenario. I'm afraid the 5Ghz/2.4Ghz settings combined with Airport ID addresses has pushed me past my competency!
    Thanks in advance for your help and a festive St. Patrick's Day!

    Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and concentrate on the AirPort Extreme to make sure that it is functioning correctly, can get an Internet connection, etc.
    A complete power cycle of the network is often useful when you have been making changes. Power everything off, order is not important.
    Wait a moment, (or wait 5-10 minutes if you have cable modem), then power up the modem first and let it run a moment by itself. Then power up the AirPort Extreme the same way.
    Check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    If the Wireless Mode setting is "Create a wireless network", make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Note the exact setting for Security that is being used
    Update to save any changes
    Post back when the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly as above and we'll tackle the AirPort Express

    We cannot answer your questions.. and the method looks wrong.. why are you doing it manually.. just use dhcp and see if it works.
    There is hardly a modem or router out there that doesn't have dhcp setup for automatic setups.
    If it is manual then there is no way we can give you the values..
    They are determined 100% by the network you plug the computer into.. and the setting of that network.
    Tell us more if you supply modem router.. and ISP info and why it is not working with dhcp we might be able to help further.
