Re: Apple TV connected to a Denon Receiver

Ok.  I've answered my own question.  For anyone else with difficultites with a receiver, please read.
1. HDMI connection has sound, so despite the manual's dirction that you need an optical cable for sound, this is incorrect.
2. When connecting an HDMI cable from Apple TV to a receiver, you often need to "assign" the input on the receiver.  On my Denon AVR-590, I need to o under the menu settings, then assign the input to Apple TV.
Example:  I have run the HDMI cable from Apple Tv to my receiver, HDMI input #2.  I then go the the menu option on the reciever and assin the HDMI #2 to being active.
That's all I needed.  Hope this may help someone out there!  danny

    I want to hook up Apple TV but my One HDMI Jack on my TV is already connected to my HD cable box. My TV has jacks for s video, component, and PC in jacks.
    Can I use one of them to connect to Apple TV with some type of cable to my newer I-pad ?

    Here are the Apple TV outputs.
    What other outputs does your HD cable box have?

  • HT1420 I Have been unable to authorize this computer, I only have one other computer authorized.

    I am trying to authorize my laptop for itunes but have been unable, I only have one other computer authorized.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How can I set up my Apple TV if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.

    how do I hook up my apple tv if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.

    How many different devices (DVD player, cable box, etc.) do you have besides the Apple TV to connect to your TV? If you aren't going to use any of these others, you won't need a switcher.
    Also, depending on the device & what other kinds of inputs your TV might have, you may be able to hook them up to other inputs besides your only HDMI one. The quality might be lower for them, & you might have to use several cables for sound & video, but that might end up being acceptable if you use your ATV much more often than the others.

    i just purchased the apple tv, i have an older tv that does not have an HDMI input.   is there a converter i can get because the itv only have an HDMI output ?  help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

  • One hdmi input on my TV

    my tv only has 1 hdmi input which i use between the cable box and the tv.  i now have apple TV and don't want to have to disconnect the cable box and attach the apple tv each time i want to use it.  can i use a hdmi spliter?

    I would use a switcher. With a splitter you will have to turn one off. A switcher gives you the choice to go to either device without going back and forth. Hard to believe but a good splitter costs around that of a switcher. I'm not pushing any brand but FYI Rocketfish at BestBuy is surprisingly good and comes with a remote. It costs around $70.00 and a splitter is a few dollars less.

  • How do I transfer files from my PC to mini Mac if I only have one monitor?

    I'm going to be purchasing a Mac mini. I have a Windows PC running XP. I only have one display monitor, so I was wondering how do I transfer files from my XP to my mini Mac with only one monitor?
    Thanks

    You'd have to give us some more information in regard to the inputs of your display.
    Generally, you should be able to plug your current PC into one input (DVI most likely) and then the Mac mini into another (HDMI) then flip between the inputs on the monitor via the on-screen menu.

  • My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

    My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
    Help!

    No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

  • So, i have an HDMI input in.

    I have my HDMI input in my comptuter and in my tv. but the only thing thats showing is the desktop and nothing else. what do i do?

    You have an extended desktop, what you see on the TV is a continuation of your MacBook's screen.  At the moment your MacBook's screen is the primary display.  To make the TV your primary display, go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement and you will see an image of two screens.  The smaller of the two screens has a small bar at the top of it.  This represents the menu bar.  Drag this small bar to the top of the bigger screen in the picture, and the menu bar and dock will appear on your TV.
    You could also select 'mirror displays' but then you will not be making full use of the resolution of the TV as the image will be at the lower resolution of the MacBook's screen.

  • I have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers

    i have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

  • My phone is telling me there is a billing problem with a precious purchase and won't let me download or update anything even though the apps in trying to download are free and updates are free. And I only have one card so I can't update my payment info

    My phone is telling me that I have a billing problem with a precious purchase but I only have one card so I can't update my payment information so I can't update anything or download anything. What should I do?

    Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?
