My apple tv software 5.1 is 720p not 1080p 'as advertised'

I have loaded version 5.1 it is showing resolution as 720p however it is connected to a 1080p HD tv via a HDMI lead.
What is missing?

What generation Apple TV do you have? 1080p output is only available with the 3rd generation Apple TV. The 2nd generation Apple TV only support 720p. Hope that helps.

  • Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6 not functioning as advertised

    Just saw there's an updated (A)RD Widget.
    I've downloaded it but seems exactly the same as previous versions.
    I can't view widget of MacMini Server. Instead has yellow triangle with exclamation point.
    Can't interact/launch ARD by clicking on widget of any individual compter, SL or Lion.
    Grey screen with or without spinning wheel for Lion clients.
    Anyone getting the 3.6 widget to funcrtion as described?
    From Apple:
    About Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6
    The Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard widget* gives you an instant, at-a-glance view of the remote computers in your network.
    It’s fully integrated with the Apple Remote Desktop administrative application, so a click on a particular computer will allow you to select and start working with any computer in the system.
    * Requires a licensed copy of Apple Remote Desktop to be installed on your Mac.

    Same thing here.
    I have 3 macs.
    2 iMacs and a MacBok Pro.
    MacBook Pro and iMac 1 (the newer) works fine with the widget. But both can't see the iMac 2, only the exclamation mark

  • YouTube on imac only allowing 720p not 1080p setting

    Hi, I've got a new imac, and am trying to play a video in 1080p on YouTube to show off my screen (to myself lol) But when the video starts, and I go to select my preferred quality, the options only go up to 720p. The video is supposed to be for looking at 1080p quality. It's by nvidia, the graphics people. Anybody know why this is? Thanks.

    Hi there,
    Here's the first 1080p video I found on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p74VWuBJSS0
    Check if that one lets you play in 1080 as I know that to work on my system.
    Remember that you will be limited to the original quality - if someone hasnt uploaded a video at 1080p, you wont be able to view it at 1080p
    Cheers.

  • HT202157 need to download apple tv software

    Is there a link to a site where I can download Apple Tv software?

    No, there is not.  Read the article from which the thread was posted and follow the instructions to restore the ATV or update directly on the ATV via the menu.

    My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi.  The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
    My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1.  The TV displays the Apple Menu.  The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
    Apple software:          7.1 (7003)
    Apple TV:                   Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
    Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
    It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video.  I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2.  Can you help please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

    I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

  • Unable to update Apple TV software

    Over the last two days I have tried unsuccesfully many time to update my Apple TV software. I purchased the product in 2012 so either have version 2 or 3. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google

    Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google, an error message comes up saying safari cannot connect to the server.  Can anyone help me with this please?

    Hi Joshua ..
    Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that wasn't the issue, try using OpenDNS.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, prevents the, "can't connect to server" issue, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser re directs, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

    I have downloaded all the Epson Printer Software but I cannot make the final step.

    Reset the printing system and then try adding the printer again.

  • HT1338 Trying to reinstall hp LaserJet P2035n fails even though Apple says software available.

    When I upgraded my Mac Pro to Lion a feature of my LaserJet P2035n went away. The feature was the ability to do manual double sided printing. The feature showed on the printer page but was always greyed out. I have noticed that a recent Mac OS software update included new software for HP printers so I thought I would remove my printer and reinstall hopefully bringing back the lost feature via a new driver.
    The printer setup page sees the printer and says Apple has software for it saying "Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?" to which I sayd "Download & Install". A new popup window says "Finding Software" then gives me an alert popup saying "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
    I researched the problem a bit and do find a directory "/Library/Printers/hp/laserjet/P2030Series" there but apparently the installation process won't use it.
    BTW I'm running OS 10.7.5 and there are no software updates pending.
    Further info: I had similar problems when switching to Lion on our three Macs. We have a Lexmark and Brother printer that wouldn't install under Lion. At the time we called Lexmark and Brother and they each provided a script to completely delete all their software after which I could re-install the printers. HP has not been so helpful.
    I'm assuming that the install is failing either due to a permissions problem or something else blocking the installation. Has anyone on this list dealt with the problem and have a solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Futher information: I moved the directory /Library/Printers/hp to Unknown and tried a re-install. It took longer to fail but did fail the same way. Looking in the directory it looks like the driver package is incomplete. To me it means that Apple does have the driver package, it just won't completely install because something is blocking it. The question seems to be, what is that something?

  • Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

    I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
    Lg

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

  • Updating my Apple TV Software

    I am frustrated. Unable to update the software on my Apple TV. The progress bar never moves and the little circle goes round and round. I have tried restart several times and it doesn't make a difference.

    Hi stephenef,
    If your Apple TV didn't finish the update, try the restore option.
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
    Restoring your Apple TV to factory settings
    On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
    Your Apple TV will restore to factory settings and will download and install the latest Apple TV software. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
    If you cannot use this process, and you have a micro-USB cable, try the steps in the next section.

  • How do I reset apple tv software pre 5.1?

    I upgraded my Apple TV to 5.1 but now I cannot use it because of T&C problem. My iPad 1 cannot run iOS 6 (crazy!) and I have a MacBookPro running 10.7.4 (which I need to test some apps).
    How do I reset the Apple TV to a previous compatible version?

    Thanks for the tip. I had not tried that because the Apple documentation says (quote)
    Restoring your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) to factory settings
    On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
    Your Apple TV will restore to its factory settings, and will also download and install the latest Apple TV software update. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
    If you cannot use this process, and you have a micro USB cable, try the steps in the next section.
    (endquote) and I do not want "the latest Apple software".
    In the meantime I've solved the Apple TV problem by udating my mac mini to OS X 10.8 and agreeing to T&Cs. Then PhotoStream appears on Apple TV.  I'm steering clear of iOS 6 as no iPad 1 support (seriously ****** off).
    Thanks anyway.
