Is it Apple TV, Netfliz or my cable company that continues to cut out

One message i get is Sorry we could not reach the netflix serbice...bla, blaaaa
once i stare watching a movie it stalls, could be a minute, then starts up again, an other time it keeps the ball spinning,

Just a quick follow up. My cable carrier is Comcast, i had a Motorola SB modem, upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 SB61xx model and all i can say is it made all the difference in the world. I'm able to get uninterrupted streams with pristine audio and video. The ATV2 is now a thing of joy.

  • I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi.  When I try to connect time capsule to the modem via an ethernet cable I am unable to and I also lose my wifi connection

    I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi as well as ethernet ports for internet TV and Sonos.  But when I connect Time Capsule via an ethernet cable to the back of the modem I am unable to get it to work and I lose my wifi connection completely. I added Time Capsule to back up data and also to extend the reach of my wifi with an airport extreme hooked up by another computer.

    Put the TC in bridge before you plug it in.. ie do the setup in isolation to the rest of the network..
    I would also start a new wireless name on the TC so it is different to the cable router..
    If you want to be exacting also set wireless channels so the cable router is set to say channel 1 and the TC set to 11 for 2.4ghz. Then plug it in.. you will have no trouble as the TC will get an ip address as part of the existing networking.. then extend the wireless using the extreme.

  • Will apple change its approach towards flash now that Steve jobs is out of the picture?

    Sparked by the talks around the question of whether Apple is going to integrate the flash technology in its products now that Steve jobs is no longer with us, I decided to get your views on that topic. Personally I think that if they won't integrate they are risking a serious drop in revenue from the sale of their mobile products, since the Android platform does provide full flash support, and Windows mobile is going to move in that direction as soon as they get some traction in the global mobile market. The question is will they risk market share loss and stick to their current philosophy, or will they finally give in to the market forces out there?
    I would love to hear your thoughts on that topic!

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • HT1277 i have an imac and my cable company has stopped my emails because they say i have comp virus.....   thought macs don't get them ***???

    I am told by my cable company that my email has a virus so they stopped my emails.   How do I do a virus scan on a mac thought they didn't get viruses?

    It is entirely possible for an iMac to acquire and host malware; to be infected with what's often called (sometimes technically incorrectly) "a virus".
    This can be due to malware that was explicitly installed and authorized by an administrative user, or can be due to vulnerabilities in existing OS X software.  Recent vulnerabilities that can affect OS X users include those encountered in Safari, in Oracle Java, or in Adobe Flash, among other components.
    One of the most common paths for infection are explicitly-requested downloads, and that have then been authenticated by an administrative user.  Basically, a user that's been convinced to download and install and use an administrative password to authenticate the malware installation.  These have been seen with "video players", for instance, where a user downloads and installs an updated player; claimed to be Adobe Flash Player or some other CODEC or player component.
    There are other malware attacks possible.  Trojan horses have been seen targetting OS X, for instance.
    Depending on the details of the actual infestation here (if there is any infestation here, of course), it is possible for an ISP to spot an infected computer through various available monitoring mechanisms. Your OS X client system could be sending out mail messages directly through protocols that are server-oriented protocols (a rogue SMTP spam engine has been installed on your OS X client, for instance), and that outbound SMTP traffic can be easy to spot at a firewall or network monitor.  It's also possible to spot malware in the attachments in outbound messages that are routed via the ISP's mail servers, as well; various ISPs will scan messages.
    The first step is to determine if your system has unauthoriized malware installed.  Ask your ISP for what evidence they have for this infestation; what evidence they believe they've found.  It's also possible that you'll need to purchase anti-malware tools, or (depending on the particular severity of any infestation found) reinitialization and restoration.
    It's also possible for another system on your local network to be infested.  Windows boxes, Linux and even printers can become infested these days.
    And it's possible that you've received an infected document from somewhere, and have been working on it on OS X; that your system is hosting the malware, but that it's not actually infected.  (OS X, Linux and Unix file services can all host Windows malware easily, for instance, but those systems generally can't be infected by that particular malware.)
    And the ISP could be incorrect in their particular report to you.
    You'll probably need some help determining if this is a real malware infection, and then cleaning up the problem; somebody with some more experience in interpreting what the ISP has found, and in determining whether that indicates a problem with your OS X system, and then (if so) how to resolve it.  That might be somebody at the Apple Genius bar, or a local Apple specialist.

    Does enyone know a perofesional touch screen monitor that i can use for my apple laptop???Thanks. monitor that

    I still cannot figure out why it doesn't always work.  All parameters were met and my bluetooth keyboard is set correctly to wake the computer.  My keyboard becomes backlit, but my LG monitor does not pick up a video signal and is black and my laptop monitor is off.  The only way I can get out is to hold on button on laptop until it shuts down and I can start up again.  This happens on an intermittent basis.  Sometimes it works and other times I get black screens.   I need to know if I can use command F1 to get the laptop to detect the display or is their another key combination to send the signal to the external monitor when I can't see anything because I hate to do a hard shut down to get out of this mode!  Please advise!

  • Apple mini displayport to vga cable. ...doesn't work. help.

    Tried hooking up my mac mini using the apple mini displayport to vga cable to my 22" acer monitor but im getting nothing. At the same time I hooked my tv to the hdmi connection and could see in the display settings on the mini that a dialogue box for the settings for the acer had appeared but no signal on the monitor itself.....any ideas?

    Try resetting the PRAM.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

  • Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Sorry it won't work.  It will fit but the laptop can't communicate with it.  Please see many of the other threads here, specifically this one just above your post, that is discussing this exact question.
    Apple's specs for the ThunderBolt display state that it needs a ThunderBolt-enabled computer.  Your laptop has a mini-display port connection so it is not compatible with the new displays.

  • HT3924 Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

    Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

    To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for.  I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box.  You can look at the models here:

  • Video Output on iPod Classic using Apple Universal Dock and Camcorder Cable

    So, after a little experimentation and research, I've found a way to use Apple's Universal iPod Dock (Apple®-iPod™ Universal Dock-MA045G/A) and my camcorder's AV cable. That's right, no need to purchase Apple's expensive and proprietary AV cables. Of course, if resolution is a concern for you, this post is not for you. Note: if you don't already have a camcorder AV cable, they can be had cheaply online or in retail stores.
    Here's what my output is like:
    Composite Video
    Analog Audio
    Here's how to do it:
    Step 1:
    Get an Apple Universal iPod dock (if you are fortunate enough to already own one, your cost investment is $0). If not, you can order them online, just do a google search for the model # above.
    Step 2:
    Go here (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2005/11/18/video-ipod.html) and follow the details of the article precisely to allow you to output video and audio. Yes, I know it's an old article for the 5G video iPod, but it still applies if you are using the Universal iPod dock.
    I just tested this all, so I know it works beautifully!
    Best of luck to all!
    David

    For anyone else with similar issues - Apple removed that functionality in the iPod classic and you can simply buy Apple's cables to make it work.
    Sadly, I cannot use it at my gym anymore, but at least there is a solution for the rest of you!
    Here is the necessary cable in the Apple store:

  • Apple TV 2 & optical Audio Cable

    Hi, i got a problem with my Apple TV 2. I just bought the Monster Apple TV Fibre Optic Cable on the Apple Store to connect my Apple TV to my Monster Beatbox (only AUX, but with Adapter no problem to connect) - the Apple TV is connctet to my SAMSUNG UE32D6300 via Monster HDMI Cable. Everything works fine exept that Apple TV only plays the music on the TV and not on my Monster Beatbox... So what can I do now??
    Thanks for your help folks!

    The manual says :
         Optical digital audio port
         Connect Apple TV to a home theater receiver that has an optical digital audio port,using an optical digital audio (also called S/PDIF or TOSLINK) cable
    You use an adapter to connect the optical digital audio port to your Beatbox? How does that work? What does the manufacturer say about digital to analog conversion?

  • I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

    I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought? Can any one help

    You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated.  It's better to be specific.  And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site.  The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
    For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.

    I send my iPhone to apple because my standby button doesn´t fit, what exactly should i send to apple? earphones and charging cable too?

    No! All Apple needs is your actual phone. Do not send the box or anything else as they will throw it away and you won't get anything back except for a phone! Do not send the sim card either and make sure you backed it up!
