Interference using Apple TV to Freeview Digital reception

Recently found that when leaving Apple TV on standby and Recording Digital Freeview the sound on the programme and recording of that programme are distorted, yet when Apple TV switched Off at mains the sound is OK. Anyone suffered the same, Recorder Panasonic DMR -EX77

What frequency do the headphones work on - they may well be causing the issue affecting the wi-fi. Try changing the wi-fi channel.
Other things like cordless landline phones or microwave ovens can have a similar effect.

I tried to use Apple Pay at the 1280 Lexington Ave store in NY but was asked for the last 4 digits of my cardnumber and it never worked.

I tried to use Apple Pay at the 1280 Lexington Ave store in NY but was asked for the last 4 digits of my cardnumber and it never worked. The question itself made no sense but I tried in vain by supplying it as well as the security code. I didn't know the last 4 of my proxy card number.

Open Passbook, select the credit card you are using, touch the Info icon on the lower right. This will display the last four digits of the ‘Device Account Number’. These four digits are what your retailer wants to complete the transaction, NOT the last four digits of your card number. Some retailers require this, others do not.

How can I connect Apple tv to a digital projector that does not have an HDMI connection?

I work in an elementary school library where we have 6 macs and 11 iPads. I want to be able to share the output of each of these machines with Apple TV on a digital projector which does not have HDMI capability. How can I do this? I had been using an app called Refector with limited success.

Open a program and drag the window over to the tv. You are using extended display mode.

Has anyone experienced the loss of audio when using Apple TV when it has been working fine?

I can't get any audio through my reciever when using Apple TV. It's been working fine until a week ago. I've check my reciever, unplug the TV, and Apple TV as described but nothing. I switch to my Direct TV input and I can get audio when not using ATV. I've tried most everything I've read on blogs but nothing. One of those "pull your hair out" issues. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince

Hi there Vfall!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
If you can see video but can't hear sound
If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
If possible, try using different audio cables.

Can you use Apple TV for a second monitor to a TV (Not mirroring)

I'm thinking about buying an Apple TV so I can have a wireless second display for my MacBook Pro. Am I able to do this or can I only mirror the one display? Am also what is the minimum Internet speed needed for AirPlay

OK - I now have the bits and have set up the system...
Airparrot is great. It allows you to select which display to mirror on the Apple TV. It also allows you to send audio to the Apple TV. I have EyeTV and Front Row set up to use the second dispaly and Airparrot successfully sends this to the Apple TV. However my audio synce problems remain. Whenever I use digital (toslink) sound from the iMac the audio is out by several frames. Unfortunately this even happns if I send both the video and audio to the Apple TV. It is unwatchable. This means I will need to switch to the RCA audio output on the iMac (which is AUX in on the hifi) whenever I want to send video to the AppleTV.
If I play video from the Apple TV (using home sharing) then the audio sync is much better. But this means that Eye TV wont be accessible from the Apple TV menu (now there is an opportunity for a clever programmer).
I have used QT Sync to adjust the sync when sending video to the Apple TV via quicktime. In speech the lips sync at a difference of 8 frames. However QT Sync is no good for playing video from Front Row or EyeTV. There is another programming opportunity...(adjusting sync for all types of output - it would be a good addition to Airparrot).
So in short, I cannot use Apple TV to play TV from the iMac. And the Apple TV menu is much more limited, in many ways, than Front Row.
(the iMac is still running Snow Leopard - which may be partly causing the problems - but there are several reasons why I dont want to upgrade it to Mountain Lion)

Clock freezes after using Apple DVD Player

I am having a small and annoying issue with the Apple DVD Player (v 4.6.5). This just started happening recently. Everytime I run a DVD (or video TS file, etc) on the software player-it performs as usual. After quitting the application and choosing to eject the disc, I notice there is a longer lag from when I first used the computer, then the little colored wheel of death spins, and eventually Apple DVD Player closes.
The problem, however, is after the application is closed out, my time freezes in the status bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (As I write this it says 1:16 and the time in the apple "date and time" preferences panel of OSX says it's 2:14-which is the real time) If I drag the cursor up to the time status bar in the upper right hand corner, it turns into the spinning color wheel, and back again once dragged out.
Once the computer restarts, the time in the upper right goes back to normal with no spinning wheel (until I open Apple DVD Player and quit out of it again). I know this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is fairly annoying and abnormal. If anyone has suggestions, please help.

It sounds like you found your answer but I also wanted to mention that this is a known BUG when using DVD Player and the Digital Optical Out of a G5. If you look at activity monitor when the Clock is dead and you get the Beach Ball the SystemUIServer will be listed as not responding. If you Force quit this process everything should start working again. As long as the LoginWindow Process is running the SystemUIServer will restart when needed after the force quit.
HOWEVER, The other part of this bug with Digital Optical Out is that sometimes the LoginWindow Process will also stop responding. In this case a Log-Out is the only way to correct the problem. The third part of this bug is sometimes the Finder also stops responding but a Relaunch will fix that.
As I said it sounds like you found your problem but I wanted to post this incase others out there using the Digital Optical Out read this and don't correct their problem.
Also, If you were using the "DOO" by deleting the .plist will set the DVD player back to SYSTEM falsely making one think the problem is fixed.
Last I know this is a known bug because I submitted it as a bug to Apple and received an e-mail stating they know of this problem already.

Using Apple TV on an Analogye TV

I use a set top digital box to watch TV on an analogue TV.
Is there a way to Use Apple TV by some type of converting?

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.

HT4437 how do i mirror without using apple TV .....like the old OS platform where I just plug in the HDMI cable and it recognizes the i pad and then projects it onto the TV.

I do NOT want to use Apple TV only a cable.
I spent 59 minutes with APPLE tonight and they were useless.

Using Apple TV bought in the U.S. in England

Any issues using Apple TV bought in the U.S. in England ?

I once plugged 240Volts UK power into a US 110V Xbox development kit.
It went bang!
But if your Apple TV is the same as my UK model. It says (on the grey rubber base) 110-240V
So no problems with power.
There should be no problems with the video output either. Analog TVs had NTSC and PAL - but HDMI is a digital standard. So your Apple TV should work fine.
In the UK we don't have Movie Rentals yet. Or movies of any kind - but that's because we have UK iTunes accounts. A US account should still work.

HT4437 can video from ipad be played to sony hdtv without using apple tv?

Can video be played from ipad to sony hdtv without using apple tv

You can use a Apple Digital AV Adapter+HDMI cable.

Can I use apple tv on a standard definition tv?

I have a standard definition TV at my home and would love to use Apple TV to play movies, music, etc. on this TV in my room via my WIFI connection
but was not sure if I could do that since my TV is not a HD TV.
Can I still use Apple TV and have all of the functions work properly on my standard definition TV?

No.
AppleTV2 only has HDMI video output - while you might find some convoluted method of using adapters to produce a lower quality image on an SD set over analogue it won't be cheap.
AppleTv has always ben designed for 16:9 TV sets, you may have an SD one but it won't have the necessary digital connections.

I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library. If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this favorite feature? I have just under 4000 photos in that file. What is the total # of photos it can utilize?

I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library. I believe it is first generation or second Apple TV - not the newest one.
If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this, my favorite feature? I have just under 4000 photos in that file.
And, what is the total # of photos it can utilize? If I keep adding photos - is there a limit to the # it will utilize?

Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

Useful list of the Freeview channels as of 1st OCt

A useful list of the Freeview channels as of 1st OCt is at
http://www.freeview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Freeview-Channel-Guide_1-Oct.pdf
Of course it gets quickly outdated ... eg when ITV Be starts on channel 26 on 8th OCt.
However it does list the various regional and local variants fairly clearly.

Sadly as I am on a Relay transmitter that is more like a wishlist! I get 24 channels and that includes SD/HD duplicates. Luckily I still have my old Sky box for the likes of ITV3&4, 5USA etc. could have sworn when the digital switchover took place I read somewhere that Relays would be upgraded too but no sign of that ever happening.

I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transfert it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

If you are adding the photos yourself, then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. in the same format as if your digital camera had written them.
