Apple TV only supports HDMI. It doesn't sound like it is an HDTV, even if you use an adapter there is no guarantee it would work and even then you would not be able to watch HDCP content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix etc).
If the TV is not widescreen and/or doesn't support at least 720P you will also have issues around that.

the Apple id on my iPad was signed out. we don't remeber the password. I was going to create a new Id for it but the sign in box won't go away. Even if you hit cancel it immediately pops back up. You can't do anything in the iPad because the box won't go away.
If you can't remember its password then you should be able to get it reset (either via email or by answering its security questions) via http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't get it reset via that page then contact Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -
i just bought apple tv and would like to set it up so it works right away. i have samsung tv and yamaha receiver. do i plug hdmi into receiver? i assume plugs are in back of machined so i have to get behind all electronic equipment? does that make sense?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your receiver is connected to your TV by HDMI and has a spare HDMI input port, then yes plug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV into your receiver.
If that's not possible the HDMI lead from the Apple TV can go straight to the TV and you can connect the receiver to the Apple TV with an optical audio cable. -

I just bought Apple TV 2 weeks ago. I have a brand new Samsung LED TV. Everything works fine. I rented a movie from iTunes and it took 4 hours to download. My friend said this is wrong, his movies play instantly, so what's wrong?

I have just bought Apple TV 2 and have followed all of the steps as directed. I have set up home sharing so I can watch the files from my MAC on the TV but I cannot get the airplay to stream my Ipad2 to the TV.
I cannot even get my Apple TV to recognise that my Ipad is even on the same network as it as it gives me no options or recognition that it is trying to send the data.
What have I missed to make my Ipad2 stream the screen image onto my TV...?
Frustrated am i with it...!!I took a very quick look at the Owner's Manual for that Router.
Much of this you will already know....but:
1. Its a combination DSL modem/WiFi Router
2. It does not have ariel antennas. My experience, the WiFi tends to perform poorly compared to standalone WiFi units and the WiFi range is also limited thus slower the farther away you get (or Apple TV gets)
3. If you don't have a DSL filter infront of it I recommend using one, even if you don't use phones. DSL comes in the pair as a different frequency and its "probably" best to filter it out anyway.....even though it comes in on a dial tone and a dial tone often exists
4. Let me know who you ISP is and I will find out what other Routers they offer.
5. You can buy pretty much any DSL modem / Router online assuming it supports PPOe which most DSL ISPs use
6. If you have not in fact tried running an Ethernet Cable.....try it.....you can get a 100 footer locally for just a few bucks. It could solve a heart ache -
I just bought apple tv......trying to use homeshare-computer won't cooperate.....have 2 i pads, 2 iphones and can not get my macbook pro-(10.5.8) to update to snow leopard (10.6) which is what seems will make homesharing work between all these apple products. It looks like I have to buy some software to update the computer. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions or even know what I am talking about?? try to update software to snow leopard and it won't allow me to...this is an old macbook pro but I paid almost $3000 for this computer a long time ago...find it hard to believe that I can't update without spending a million dollars??? thanks. Mary
Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm not entirely sure I follow you here, home sharing comes with iTunes 10.2, so far as I am aware even iTunes 10.6.1 only requires OS X 10.5.8 or better. On that basis I'm not sure why you think you have a problem. -

I just bought Apple TV 2 can I still use apple tv on the same network?
I just bought Apple TV 2 can I still use apple tv on the same network?
Yes, no problem at all.
AppleTV 1 should still appear in the same itunes it syncs/streams from.
For AppleTV2 you must enable Home Sharing on it and in iTunes, but you dio not see it as a device in itunes.

I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?
No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

I just bought apple tv. I have an ipad mini with ios 6.1.3. I want to do the mirroring but the airplay doesn't seem to be on my ipad. Can someone help?
Yes they are both connected to the same wifi network. Do you know when you double click on the home button and swipe right? The airplay button isn't there beside the play/pause and forward and backward button. It should be there.

I have an iPad and have rent several movies from iTunes, I have just bought apple tv, why can't I watch my rented movies on the tv, my home share is activated ? Have I just wasted £99 ?
Hi,
Yes, start the movie on your iPad and tap on the AirPlay icon and chose AppleTV from the list.
You can't "transfert" your rental to your AppleTV but you can stream it using AirPlay. -
I have just bought apple TV tp use with my Mac book pro This has now ben upgraded tp mavericks 10.9.1 but i cannot get an airplay simble on my info bar? What am i doing incorrectly?
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MBP forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
