Just bought AppleTV and I'm getting 'No Signal' from Sony KDL TV

So I got an AppleTV (new) for Christmas and I'm attempting to hook it up to my Sony KDL tv using this cable (http://www.amazon.com/Aurum-Flat-Ethernet-Certified-Available/dp/B004LTQS1G/ref= sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362340327&sr=1-1&keywords=Aurum+Flat+Series+-+ High+Speed+90+Degree+%28Right+Angle%29+Flat+HDMI+Cable+with+Ethernet+%2825+FT%29)
I'm getting a 'No Signal' screen from the Sony TV even though the TV recognizes there's something in the port.
I've tried:
Hard setting the AppleTV
Switching HDMI ports
and still nothing.
What do I do?

Check this guide:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Specifically:
If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

Thanks for your reply I have set up home sharing for music but on appletv now they want me to subscribe to iTunes match for an annual fee. I cannot find an 'advaced' option on any menu. Perhaps ihad it all wrong with appletv I thought I would be able to have the same apps on my appletv as I had on my iPad bt is it really just for renting videos off iTunes?

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The only option the is to quit. What is

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

Hi,
not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
Good luck!

Just bought iphone4 and trying to access app store but message reads "cannot connect to the app store"?

Hey William,
It sounds as though you are having difficulty with your Mac being unable to connect to the Mac App Store. This article has some steps that may help you troubleshoot -

Note that the title is for the iTunes Store, the steps are still relevant.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Just bought iworks and the serial number is not working. help!

just bought iworks and the serial number is not working. help

How did you buy iWork (no 's', capital 'W')?
If you downloaded the trial version earlier, and have since purchased a serial number, iWork will ask you for the number the first time you launch one of the iWork applications after the trial period ends.
If you bought a retail box, or bought the individual applications through the Mac app store, no serial number is needed, but if any part of the trial version is still installed on your computer, you'll get a request to enter a serial number before proceeding.
In the last case, you must delete all traces of iWork and it's applications (but not the documents that you have created and saved), then reinstall the purchased versions from the DVD or from the app store.
For the simplest and most efficient means of deleting the trial version, go to Yvan Koenig's iDisk, then to:
for_iWork > iWork 09 > uninstall iWork 09.zip
Unzip the file, open with Script Editor and run.

Barry

How to initiate numbers? I have iwork 08 screen coming each time and asking for the serial number even if I just bought Numbers and no serial number have been sent to me

I have just bought Numbers and while initiating, a iWork 08 screen is appearing asking for a serial number. I did not get a serial number and I can't work on it... Somebody knows how to go ahead?

Are you planning to continue to use Pages and Keynote from iWork '08 trial ?
If you don't,
Go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Unpack it and run the script to uninstall completely iWork components (it don't delete the documents which you created).
It would also be a good idea to use a maintenance tool like the free Onyx to to clean the LaunchService databases.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
Take care to download the stable version dedicated to Lion ( it's Onyx 2.4.2)
Then, reinstall Numbers '09 from the MAS. You will not have to pay. The protocol is described in :

I just bought my iphone 4 a few weeks ago from a friend, they used it for like a month, and now my lock button/ power off button wont work at all. what do i do?

I just bought my iphone 4 a few weeks ago from a friend and now the lock button/power button is unresponsive. It worked fine when i bought it, and i havent dropped the phone or gotten it wet at all! what do i do?

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I have a feeling the switch is broken and you will have to get it serviced.

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2. I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first? They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS... Thanks,

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You may have a hard drive problem. When I installed Lion, the installer told me that it couldn't complete because the hard drive was failing (or broken, the exact words escape me). Since the HD had been functioning just fine, I took it to the Genius Bar, and found out that yes, the hard drive was slowly dying (bad sectors). I couldn't reboot into Snow Leopard, the installer wouldn't let me and then the drive just wouldn't work at all.
I had to replace my drive and restore from Time Machine. Thankfully, I had Time Machine, and had just done a backup 5 minutes before the crash.
Best of luck.
