Mp4 movie not compatible with Apple TV

My ATV will not allow me to synch an MP4 movie Chef to the ATV as it says it is not compatible, yet I can watch the same movie in iTunes. It is the 160gb ATV

MP4 is a container, the contents inside also needs to be compatible
Look for video formats

  • Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV

    Apple Support has confirmed that the preview function in Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV.  Don't buy Aperture if you want the same resolution on Apple TV!  Stick with iPhoto!!

    Works fine here, but must note that only a single Aperture Library can be selected, and this is to the exclusion of the iPhoto Library.
    Right-click on the Aperture Library and choose Show Package Contents.  Look for the iPod Photo Cache folder, and open it.  Is it populated by lots of subfolders, which in turn have content?  What is the date that the iPod Photo Cache was last modified.  You may not be able to check this now, having dumped Aperture, as you say.
    This folder is the source of what iTunes will see for sharing.  It probably can be removed, and then rebuilt by selecting what to Share.  Or maybe just removing its contents, and rebuild the selections.  But there is one per Aperture Library, and one in the iPhoto library, which is why only one source can be used to sync.

  • IPhone 3G intermittently not compatible with Apple Dock / Component Video

    I purchased a new Apple Dock and Component Video cable for my 3G. Both original Apple parts.
    On the first day it all worked perfectly. Now it seems I have a 50/50 chance of getting the "this device not compatible with iPhone - switch to airplane mode" dialog when I place the iPhone in the dock. This is about a week old now.
    Anyone else seen this? I haven't noticed any pattern. Frustratingly random.
    Same thing happens with my JBL On Stage IIIP dock (supposed to be compatible) - I just thought it was because it was 3rd-party junk but apparently not.

    bpezza,
    The iPhone Bluetooth Headset packaging has been updated to not include a Dual-dock, and the suggeested retail price updated to $99.
    The travel cable does work with the iPhone 3G and original iPhone.
    Here is more information on the current Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset:

    Hope this helps,

  • IPhone not compatible with Apple camera adapter

    FYI: I tried to use the little white Apple camera adapter with my Olympis and iPhone this morning. Got the "Accessory not compatible" message.

    Does it say "Not Compatible with iPhone" or "Not Made for iPhone?" Because from what I understand, some accessories that come up as "Not Made for iPhone" will still work, they just haven't been designed to specifically work with the phone.
    In any event, the phone may offer to put you into Airplane Mode to avoid any kind of wireless interference but that's just a precaution, and the adapter may still work.
    My iHome comes up with a message that says it's "Not Made for iPhone" but it still works with the phone.

  • Rented movie won't play "not compatible with Apple TV"

    Using my apple tv, i rented a movie from the iTMS. When I try to play it I get an error message saying it can't be played because it's incompatible with Apple TV.
    Troubleshooting: I unplugged the ATV for more than 5 minutes and replugged it. I checked to see whether purchased music still plays (it does) and whether purchased tv shows still play (they do). I can also go to iTMS and view previews of movies.
    So everything seems to be working, except this movie. (I have two other rented movies but they don't expire for a couple weeks; this one expires in 22 hours so it's sort of imperative i view it today or lose it, and i can't do the one final test -- see if the other rented movies play ok -- because then the 24-hour ticker on those would start, and i'd have only enough time to watch one of them, and not the one that's already set to expire in 24 hrs.
    ironically, the only support thread i could find on this particular error message for apple TV-acquired media, involves this same movie, "An American Rhapsody". That question was posted more than a year ago and never was resolved. (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492298)
    It's a little frustrating that the only apple support i could find for this issue is email support, promising me an answer within 24 hrs. So it's unlikely an answer will come in time. Maybe they'll help arrange a credit to my account after the fact. But (and i'm a big fan generally of apple and apple support) it seems like there ought to be customer service to cover the situation where someone buys (in this case, rents) something and can't get the promised product.
    I've spent 90 minutes trying to solve this and the friend who was going to watch it with me just left, but i'm still curious to see if anyone can propose a fix. thanks!

    you should use the "report a problem" link that is on the email invoice you get.
    this will take you to the itunes section to report an issue with a particular purchase.
    or go to "view my account" in itunes and then choose "purchase history"
    if it didn't work you'll most likely get a refund.

  • Certain Movies not compatible with iMovie.

    I've tried everything with iMovie, and there's nothing wrong with that-in fact, it seems to be a problem with certain movies. And there doesn't seem to be any pattern.
    I can use a movie that I've taken from the beginning of a roll, and not use one near the end, however, all of my movies in my iPhoto library can be seen in quicktime.
    I can import some movies into iMovie, just not all of them.
    I'm rebuilding my thumbnail cache right now. Doesn't seem to be working.

    MilaUno:
    Maybe you should post your question in the iMovie forum where you're more likely to get a potential solution.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • WRE54G not compatible with Apple Laptop

    Took forever to install this thing and get it working--only somewhat, with my set-up: Belkin Wireless Pre-N router with cable modem Apple iMac desktop Dell PC laptop -- it works fine Apple laptop -- not working at all After hours on the phone with tech support, had it working with only the PC, not on the MAC. At certain times, was able to ping the router, and although the airport status icon showed a connection, I couldn't on the Internet--kept getting "Not connected to Internet" messages on the browser. So more hours with tech support and finally went to the Apple Store==they told me to change my WEP security to WPAPersonal, it worked for all of a New York second and now back to the same old story. I also changed my TCP/IP settings on the Apple laptop to match what was done to the PC laptop, no luck. I am going to return this thing on Monday (today is Saturday) if I can't get it to work on the MAC--which is why I bought this thing to begin with. Any thoughts out there?

    Everyone has the same problem. See my posting as follows: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Range_Expanders&message.id=1592&query.id=72978#M1592 If you configure your Mac with a manual IP address, router and DNS, it works. To my knowledge, there's no solution (or at least no one has replied with one to my posting).

  • Google Chat/Video Chat not compatible with Apple PPC

    I have a G3 B/W Mac upgraded with a G4 Sonnet Processor. My unit operates on OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. Google states that the minimum Mac operating system for their Chat/Video Chat plugin is 10.4. But when I try to install their plugin, it states that the plugin does not support a Mac PPC even though it is operating on the minimum operating system. Does anyone know why?

    For the "YayWho" on the Gmail Discussion who implied that the only reason we are complaining is because we want something for Nothing and Google is putting a lot of effort behind this venture. I am a Stroke Survivor on a limited income. My B/W G3 PPC is fully functional and I could not afford to dump my Mac and replace it. I would be OK with just having the Chat feature. But there are a lot of US, PPC Users. If the minimum Operating System requirement is Mac OS X 10.4, Google should support any and all hardware that use the OS X 10.4.x platform. It is too bad Google takes this position. I thought they were better

  • Are all tv's with hdmi inputs compatible with Apple TV2?

    I am considering purchasing a new TV.  My older model Sony TV, even though it has an HDMI input, is not compatible with Apple TV.  Do I have to take my Apple TV to Best Buy and plug it into every TV I look at to determine if they are compatible? Does Apple publish a list of compatible TV's?

    I receive an errror message telling me that my HDMI connection is not HDCP compatible.  I contacted Apple Support, visited my local Apple Store (with my Apple TV2), and bought new cables...nothing works.  I cannot watch Netflix or stream movies I have purchased from my iMac onto my TV.  Very frustrating.

  • This movie requires QuickTieme, that is not compatible with this version of iTunes

    I have a problem to play a movie, in some titles. 
    Error: this movie requires QuickTieme, that is not compatible with this version of iTunes (version installed on my iMac 11.0.1).

    Make sure your iTunes software is up to date.
    Launch iTunes. Then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen, click iTunes > Check for Updates ...
    Apple just released the 11.0.5 update yesterday which includes bug fixes.

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.
