New 1080 apple tv .. Dark picture. Rgb PC levels only

The new apple tv isn't allowing me to change the HDMI video level (hdmi high / low in the settings menu)
Pretty sure it's only outputting PC levels.. which is creating a dark picture.
Tv settings are calibrated to HDMI Video levels as they should be.
Bluray and Roku box are displaying properly, but new Apple tv 2 is not.
Tried different resolutions.
-Panasonic Plasma through Hdmi/dvi cable .

I have the Apple TV 1080p with a panasonic plasma - G10 series. I have 4 choices of HDMI output - Auto, YBrCr (or something like that), RGB high and RGB low. I could barely tell the difference when I selected each of these. I thought the color and brightness were off a bit so I ended up toning down the brightness and contrast on the TV and choosing a cool color setting. The THX setting on the TV made the picture from the Apple TV pretty dim. I've left the Apple TV HDMI output as Auto.

HDMI only showing 720 on my TV with a new 1080 Apple TV?

My tv says it supports 1080

You say new 1080p AppleTV but in your initial question you have AppleTV2 listed at the bottom.
You may have both and I assume you know AppleTV 2 only does 720p ? AppleTV 3 does 1080p.
May be worth testing another HDMI input or lead if you can.
Do you have another TV to test with?
Could be some kind of compatibility issue in which case send feedback to Apple here:

I am new to apple software having worked with microsoft all these years. The switch was mainly for my photographs. Iphotos seemed to have changed all digital albums from jpeg to tiff format hence the very small resolution. Can anyone out there please help me recover these photos to origianal format???
Thanks

Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated.
You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right. Have you finished creating the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as PDF in the contextual menu?
Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems. If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it. That's all you need to do. There's no use of the Finder required.

Connecting a new 1080p Apple TV to Component TV

Just purchased a new 1080p Apple TV and want to connect it to my older plasma TV with component inputs. I purchased one of these, http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011410 &p_id=8125&seq=1&format=2, to do the conversion, but I'm not able to get a clear picture. All of the lines are slanted down to the left, like it can't sync. Audio seems to be working OK. I also tried connecting an HDMI DVD player, and that works fine, so the converter is apparently working correctly. Any idea why the Apple TV isn't playing nice with the converter?

it's hit and miss with such "magic" converters
most would also result in no hdcp meaning you would not
be able to view DRM material

How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
others.

None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
there just as enlightening.
Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
then certainly you should employ it.
I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
(too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
equivelant in the fullsize file.

Dark picture on projector but okay on the lap top?

I have problems with dark pictures when using Air Mac and a projector. Everything is okay on the lap top, but the pictures shown by the projector are very dark. Have anyone out there a solution for this problem.
I have talked to Apple support without getting any help.

Helge-
Most projectors by default are set for PCs, which have a different gamma output from their monitors. You can do one of two things to fix the situation: 1) Change the gamma settings on your Mac by going to the Displays preference pane in System Preferences, choose the Color button near the top, and then either pick one of the pre-calibration settings that works best for your situation, or you can manually calibrate your laptop. 2) You can change the brightness and contrast of your projector (and if possible save the settings on there). The second method is probably best if you don't need to frequently share the projector.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by scanned, which app do you usually view them in.

Potential connection problems with the new 27" Apple displays

I'm thinking about purchasing the new 27" Apple displays and I would like to be able to run two of them at once with full 2560 x 1440 resolution. I know that the mac mini display port can output the resolution but does the HDMI port output that rate? I thought HDMI is capped out at 1080? So, if it is possible, does anyone manufacture the adapters needed? And lastly, would it be possible to also run an older (see my specs) Mac Pro with two of these screens? What kind of adapters would be needed for that? Has Apple just decided that one monitor is all anyone will ever need and that they are no longer going to support the older DVI connectors? Thanks.

To steer us back to my original post: I was asking specifically about the mac mini and the new 27" display. If you have any of the older mac models most of them support dual dvi. The newer mac mini only supports one display port and one HDMI port. I believe that the highest resolution that HDMI 1.3 supports is 1980 x 1200. My understanding is (after some research) that there is HDMI 1.4 protocol already developed that supports higher resolution but this has not been widely implemented yet. Also, my other concern was the connectors on the new display. Only the mini display port with a male end. This almost guarantees that you will need some sort of cable/connector to anything except the newer macbooks. Just some observations - that's all.

I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

New to Apple. Any suggestions for a contact mgmt. app for Mac similar to ACT?

I am totally new on Apple products. Can anyone suggest if there is a comparable product such as ACT or Goldmine for Customer Contact Management purpose? I am excited about the simplicity of "Contacts" on Mac compared to ACT or some of the more complex programs where we never use all those fancy features. I am not fully aware of Apple's "Contacts" program capabilities yet.
I run a small business and need some basic features such as being able to sort contacts based on City, type of client, or any other fields, so I can create reports and use the list for marketing purposes, etc.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone has suggestions on the following two items:
How to migrate my ACT contacts easity into either iCloud or on my new Mac?
Any tutorials that I can look at how small businesses are using the Mac contacts database?
Thank you so much for your help!

Daylite from Marketcircle is probaby the best bet: It's a full-fledged CRM solution. It will work for a single person, though it's most targeted at small workgroups (5-50 people).

New to apple script...

Hi I am new to apple script; I was using Automator but it became too dumb to it's surroundings after a while. Can you please tell me why these don't do what I think they should; Safari has 2 windows open one with four tabs (window 1 as I have used exists to be sure of) and one with 9 (window 2).
tell application "Safari"
activate tab 6 of window 2
end tell
all it does is bring the frontmost safari window up
Please help

There are a couple of reasons behind this, mostly because you're using the wrong command.
The main thing is that the 'activate' command is used to activate the application. Any other parameters (such as 'tab 6 of window 2') are discarded.
Instead, the appropriate syntax is to set the current tab property of the window:
tell application "Safari"
  set current tab of window 2 to (tab 6 of window 2)
end tell
It's a little verbose, but it works.
If you also want to bring that window frontmost you need to change its index:
tell application "Safari"
  tell window 2
    set current tab to (tab 6 of window 2)
    set index to 1
  end tell
end tell
Note though that changing the window index will now also change this window to 'window 1' instead of 'window 2'. Something to bear in mind if you're taking further actions.

New To Apple -MacBookPro-Safari v IE

I am new to Apple. I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and am having trouble migrating from the Windows Internet Explorer environment.
I did multiple "searches" on my questions and found nothing.
In IE's set up you had "Favorites" where you could place, organize and delete websites.
In Safari Browser, it came loaded with sites I never ues and I want to eliminate them but cannot find out how. I have reviewed the tutorialsd on Apples website and those imbedded in the MacBookPro.
Can someone "coach" me on where I might find the info? Or maybe give me a hand?
Thanks!
Dan

Well I tried your link and did not find anything relevant to my questions about bookmarks. Did I miss something?

His link was to the Safari for Mac forums. As I read it, he provided that as a place to repost your question, as there are some real Safari gurus there who are quite helpful regardless of one's experience level. It would probably get you more exposure to knowing eyes, as yours is specifically an application issue and not a MacBook Pro hardware issue. CMCSK was trying to get you the most targeted help for your question.
