My apple tv box in in german

How do i change the setup language on my Apple Tv box from german to english???

Welcome to the Apple community.
First you need to determine if your Apple TV is running iOS 5 or a previous software version. iOS 5 has an interface with rows of buttons across the screen, previous versions had a more menu like layout.
< iOS 5
Press the menu button on the remote several times to make sure you are on the main screen.
Navigate to the menu on the far right hand side.
Select the first option in that menu.
Scroll down the next menu that appears and choose the 4th option from the bottom.
Select your language from the list available.
iOS 5
Press the menu button on the remote several times to make sure you are on the main screen.
Navigate to the menu on the far right hand side of the top row (not including the row of artwork)
Select the first option in that menu.
Scroll down the next menu that appears and choose the 6th option from the bottom.
Select your language from the list available.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

  • When I am trying to update or download an app, another Apple ID appears in the Apple ID box, and I can't change it.  The cursor is in the password box and I'm unable to move it back into the Apple ID box in order to change it.

    When I try to update or download an app, very often another Apple ID shows up in the Apple ID box and the cursor is in the Password box and I can't move it back to the Apple ID box in order to put my ID in!  Apple ID looks like an email address of a colleague in my school system, however, I don't know the person and that person has never logged into my computer.

    A stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update notice -

  • I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

    I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
    To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
    ?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
    When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
    Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
    Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?
    Full text below.
    Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
    Here is a typical HDMI 3-in 1-Out HDMI Auto Switch

    Hi Erico,
    I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Many many thanks,
    Louise

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Connected Apple TV Box tonight and it said it needed an update.  I ran the update, and it worked for a few minutes.  Then all of a sudden, a screen popped up showing that I needed to connect via USB plug to my MacBook Air to connect to iTunes.  Why??

    I conneced the Apple TV and it worked fine at first.  It has worked well for some time.  We are using them in our school this year, as well as converting to all apple products.  I have been able to pull up my computer screen through Apple TV onto our projectors.  However, tonight when I started apple TV, the mirroring icon came up, and everything seemed fine.  Then a message came up that the Apple TV Box needed an update.  I clicked on the button to run it now, and it seemed fine.  The mirroring worked for about 5 minutes after the update, then I got a screen that had a picture of the Apple TV Box and a USB cord directed toward a picture of the iTunes icon.  The light on the frontof the component flashed, and I couldn't go to the menu at all.  I wouldn't do anything.  I no longer cold see the Airplay/mirroring icon on my computer either.  I tried to shut everything off and reboot the computer and the Apple TV box.  However, none of this worked. 
    Any suggestions???  I'm a high school football coach, and this is how our team will watch film this year.  I really need to get this rectified by the end of the week, as our team will go into camp for the next two weeks. 

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

    My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

    Was the restore done via iTunes?

    If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • Can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, ar there any issues i should be aware of?

    can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?

    I was in a hotel a few month a ago.  The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in.  Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work.  (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
    So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on  my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV.  Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough.  It was very easy.
    (Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

  • My apple desk top is no longer streaming to apple TV box, what can I do?

    my apple desk top is no longer streaming to apple TV box, how can I trouble shoot this issue?

    You can create a new account, but all of the purchases that you did on your existing account will remain tied to that account, so only that account can potentially redownload them, authorise them on a new computer's iTunes and download updates to its apps.
    To reset the account's security questions and/or password, if you don't have access to the email account then contact Support in your country to get them reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then update your primary email address and add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification  : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    You'll need an HDMI cable to hook it to your TV.  Once you have that, you just have to plug in the Apple TV power and then plug it into the television using the HDMI cable.
    EDIT:
    If you don't have wireless you'll also need an ethernet cable to hook the Apple TV up to your router so you can stream content from the internet.
