Mavericks Apple TV, Sound but NO display

I updated all my devices and they are all up-to-date. Whenever I try and use AirPort to my Apple TV from ANY device (Phone, Mac, IPad) my TV is able to play the audio but there is no picture (with either 'mirror' or 'extend' my desktop)
When I first start it up, sometimes, and only sometimes, it displays my inital screen, but then freezes.
Othertimes, it doesnt even allow me to select 'mirror my desktop'
This is very frusterating. I believe it is an issue with the AppleTV update, it worked before the update.
If there is no solution, is there a way I can downgrade my AppleTV?

If you are using Airplay to send something to AppleTV, many iOS apps only transmit sound due to restrictions.
Alternatively are you not seeing anything on teh TV (menus etc) with AppleTV connected?

  • 22CV1000 Toshiba LCD TV/DVD combo: Sound but no display

    I am having problems with my 22CV1000 Toshiba LCD TV/DVD combo!
    When I turn the tv on, it sounds like it is trying to read a DVD. The display appears for second, but then goes black. I still have sound, just no display. 
    The Toshiba help line told me to unplug and replug the tv - but that did not help.
    I would really appreciate your advice!

    At this point, I think you should call support back. It sounds like it might need a repair.

  • Personal videos on Apple TV  sound but no picture

    Hi,
    I'm an experienced Mac user but brand new to Apple TV, just arrived yesterday. I have some personal videos not purchased through iTunes that I keep in the iTunes library as "TV shows". They all play fine when I click on them in iTunes at the iMac. When I synched the Apple TV to the iTunes library, many of these videos did not play properly--the audio was fine, but no video. Again, they play normally on iTunes, but something apparently got lost in translation to the Apple TV. The video codec for these is MPEG-4 and I have gone under "Get Info" and labeled them as "TV Shows", so that they appear under the appropriate list on the Apple TV menu, but the video is simply absent. Other videos work fine, so it doesn't appear to be the unit itself. Any thoughts on what might be done to these personal videos to make them compatible with the Apple TV? Thanks.

    Winston,
    Thanks for being willing to help me. I discovered a common thread in all of the videos that failed to make the jump to Apple TV. Turns out that they were all converted using iSquint, and the version used apparently had a flaw that made Apple TV transfers screw up like mine. I went to the iSquint website, downloaded the new version that specifically addresses this issue, and everything works fine now. Thanks though!

  • Bought movie on iTunes can't AirPlay to Apple tv Sound but no picture

    Hi
    I have bought an apple tv today for the main use of buying movies.  I have it all connected and soon find out I can only rent not buy from the tv.  So I decided to buy from iTunes on my new iPad - the HD movie, with the intention of air playing it to my tv. This works with utube so shouldn't be an issue.
    Unfortunately I only get the sound no pictures come up at all.  How do I fix this?

    This seemed odd, since I rented the movie from the itunes store. And, in fact, once the downloading finished (it takes a long time on this old ipad( I tried again and the movie -audio and video - both appeared on my tv.

    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.

  • Adobe "Shapes" destroyed my display. No reset, no reboot. iTunes sees phone but no display. Off to Apple store.

    I attempted using the new Adobe "Shapes" app and my screen went white. I tried shutting app with home button. Screen went black. Siri worked but no display. Tried reset with both buttons - screen totally dead and iTunes reload firmware, sees phone, still no display.

    Hi ronrabun,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the screen on the iPhone is blank. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • I am locked out of my computer (macbook air) I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it. I put in a new password, and now it doesnt let me log in anymore. Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.

    I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it (becuase it kept shutting down and not turning back on).
    I put in a new password because i needed to start over from factory settings, but now it doesnt let me log in anymore. (I don't know if this is because it doesnt accpet my password, or I forgot my password in less than 5 minutes, or because when i typed in my new password, i typed it in wrong twice)
    Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.

    What I don't understand is why it is rejecting a password I am creating.
    Perhaps the password you are creating is too short, or has characters that are not allowed, or is not secure enough because it is a word in a dictionary.
    FileVault may have standards for what it considers an acceptable password. If the password is part of the 128-bit encryption scheme, it might have to be 16 characters, for example. (Don't know if that is true, but it's a possibility.) Check your documentation for password requirements.

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

  • HT4437 I have sound but no picture using my Apple TV

    I am trying to watch sky sports from my iPad using the Apple TV, I have sound but no picture?

    When I first turn it on I have sound and picture. After a couple min screen goes black but there is sound. Doesn't matter what I'm watching, Netflix, Hulu, movies from iTunes. We have unplugged, rebooted and prayed to the Aplle TV. Sometimes it works, sometimes no. I see people are having trouble since update.

  • Though I have connected my receiver using thunderbolt cable/hdmi it does not emit sound, but i can see the display

    My imac does not detect the thunderbolt. so cannot select external speakers though I have connected the mac using thunderbolt to hdmi. cannot receive sound but video is seen.

    I have one thunderbolt port and one mini display port.
    No Mac has both Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort.  They are both Thunderbolt.  A Mini Disp;layPort cable or adapter will work in a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port.
    A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter can handle both audio and video, but some older ones are video only.
    You may have a broken audio wire in your cable.  Try a new cable or Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.  Make sure it says it will handle both audio and video.
