Just connected Apple TV and all I have is a green screen.
I just connected Apple TV, and the screen is green. The remote doesn't seem to be working either. The light flashes when I press buttons, but that's it.
Can you clarify things - Snow Leopard is not downloadable, OS X 10.7 Lion is - from the Mac App Store.
Your profile says you are running 10.6.3 - that is Snow Leopard, although it's been updated to 10.6.8 now.
If you've got a disk stuck in the drive try restarting and holding the mouse down - hopefully it'll spit it out. You'll probably need to do hard shutdown and restart using the button on the back.

I cannot get iPhoto to open. It "opens" in Slideshow which shows that it is "working" but no pictures show, I cannot get out of slideshow. I cannot see my pictures although if I tell Picasa to import photos from iPhoto it does so I assume they are there...
1. Back up your Library now. You don't use iPhoto to back it up, you can do it simply by dragging the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk
2.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

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 have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page. -
Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
ThanksMake sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

I bought my Macbook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 in january 2012 brand new from my local apple store and i am sure they said that it would run AIRPLAY. Having just purchased apple TV and set it all up correctly I still can't connect - no AIRPLAY symbol ? pls help
Mark
You need OS X 10.8 mountain lion, mirror is a feature of that OS and you need to buy it from the app store, OS X 10.7.5 does not do it.
If you don't want to change visit www.airparrot.com a third party app that can do it.

I just purchased Apple TV AND AIRPORT EXPRESS. I am questioning if I need it when I already have a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2001. Does the Airport Express do the same thing?
Thank you so much. Any specifics I should know about prior to connecting? The goal is to watch Netflix from my iPad or iPhone 5 on my tv (located in different room from where Comcast internet modem is hard wired to main computer in house). Movies would depend on wireless transmission to a smart tv not connected to modem.

I just installed iTunes 10 and all it does when I open it up is show me the software license agreement, and if I click either "accept" or "decline" it closes up and does nothing else. It does the same thing when I try to play mp3 files, just opens up the license agreement and nothing else. It also doesn't recognise my iPod touch when I plug it in, thinks it's a digital camera. Please help! (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)
Refer steps here to delete SC file.:

Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START / CONTROL PANEL / ADD n REMOVE PROGRAMS / highlight QUICKTIME and click CHANGE then REPAIR. -
Just updated my Apple TV and all it shows now Is a picture of it needing to be plugged into iTunes, do I really need to buy a micro USB cord? This seems absurd!
This indicates the device is in recovery mode.
Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it.
