New Apple TV - No Picture

Hi, unpacked and plugged my Apple TV in just now and there is no picture being displayed on my TV. HDMI Cable works, unit is powered on (steady light) but no Picture.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I just bought mine today and had the same issue ... try the following
1. Switch off everything ( TV, Apple TV and the ethernet or wireless)
2. Wait 30 secs
3. Connect the TV and Apple TV
4. Turn on everything
5. Check if you have selected the correct input on TV screen.
6. In case you get no signal or a blank screen even when the light on apple tv is solid white then here is are two options
A) press and hold both menu and down button until the light on apple tv flashes quickly, then release and wait for the light to go solid ( this would reset and solve), if still having issue
B) press the menu and up button for 6 sec and the light would blink exactly as it blinked when starting up .... this would reset the screen resolution in alingment to the one required. setting up frequency etc.
Would solve the issue. Let me know if this helped.

You can use a wireless flash drive.

Can i transfer my old pictures from my old apple id to my new apple id?

hi, i recently made a new apple id because my old one i forgot the security questions to, and i contacted apple and they said the best thing to do was make a new id. well stupidly i forgot to back everything up onto the pre made account, and i lost 3,000 pictures. is there a way to access them without screwing with my new account? (loosing all new pics, apps ,ect)

Photos are not associated with any Apple ID.
Where are the photos now?
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I am a new Apple/ipad user and trying to sync photos from pc to ipad. Picture moved to ipad in one giant folder instead of the many specific folders that are on my pc. How do I sync multipule folders so that the photos show up in seperate folders on my

I am a new apple/ipad user and trying to transfer photos to my new ipad2 from my windows pc using itunes. The pictures all transfered to my ipad in one very large folder (My Pictures) on the ipad2 instead of the multipule folders that were on my pc. Do I have to re sort all of them into folders on the ipad2 or is it possible to sync the seperate folders to the ipad2?

Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

If this is becuase you cannot access your old account I would try everything first before making a new account.
expresslane.apple.com or http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/ or 1-800-APL-CARE.
If you delete the icloud account from your device it will remove the photostream and documents stored in the cloud from the device (if you're using iwork or another app that uses icloud to sync documents).
Photos from the camera roll will still be there.
It will ask if you want to keep the contacts, calendars, reminders, and bookmarks.
If you want to save your contacts choose "Keep on my iphone"
If you create a new apple ID you won't lose anything except your previous purchases, meaning if you wanted to redownload that app you paid for before, you will have to pay for it again with the new ID.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Whilst the remote app can be used once the Apple TV has been set up, you still need the original remote to set it up first.

HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number 215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart. At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

How do i change my icloud name i already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i will loose all my pictures..

how do i change my icloud email? I already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i have now I will loose all my pictures and I want to keep them

To change the iCloud ID on your devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any synced data from your device, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. However if you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone (iPad) when prompted, then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you turn on iCloud syncing again.
Prior to deleting the account, if you have an photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

No AirPlay icon on mid 2011 macbook air with a new Apple TV

Hi. I just bought a brand new Apple TV. I own a mid 2011 macbook air on which I've installed mountain lion OS X. both the apple TV and my macbook air are connected to the same wireless network, yet i dont have the AirPlay icon on my macbook. I'm able to play music from my mac's iTunes library, and even tough the homesharing on iTunes is on, I dont have the airplay icon so I can't stream movies\videos\pictures which are not in my iTunes library.

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

I created a new apple id account so that I didnt have to share my icloud with my brother, if i plug my phone into my computer onto my new account and sync it, then delete my old icloud from my phone will my new icloud be backed up and have all my pics ect

I've just created this new apple ID account and i need to know that if i plug my phone into my computer and sync my phone onto my new account, then delete my old icloud and apple account from my phone will my things be backed up onto my new icloud? such as my pictures notes contacts music ect... ?

Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

Can I sync my new Apple ID account to a shared Itunes

Basically I used to share an Itunes and Icloud account with my dad. I got a new Iphone 4S and after some problems regarding music syncing (solved) everything seemed to be fine. My dad now has got a new Iphone 4S (Only a couple of days after me) and when he synced his phone to Itunes itunes recognised his phone as mine. He then got all my pictures, contacts - his phone was basically a replica of mine. His phone is in the process of restoring though we have not chosen an Icloud account to connect his phone to because we believe that is were the problems have come from, so we have left it for now, not restored just yet.
I created a new Apple ID and made my phone have this different Apple ID, so now our phones have different Apple IDs.
What I am asking is: can I connect my phone (with a new apple ID) to the Itunes that my dad and I shared with the other Apple Id that he still has?
If you need more details do ask as it is a bit of a strange situation. What I am wary of is me connecting my Iphone to Itunes and because my Iphone now has a different ID it will mess Itunes up or something.
Thanks for your time.

No you do not have to sign in/out every time.
Sign in with the account you want to use. Store > Sign In.
Then authorize the computer for both accounts. Store > Authorize Computer.
You will still have complete access to the content purchased under both accounts but will only be acquiring content going forward with the account that is signed in.
All of this is done in iTunes on the computer and has nothing to do with the iPhone.
On the iPhone, you simply sign in with the account you want to use. Settings > Store > Sign In.

My apple id attached to my itunes account has expired and i have forgotten the password that was attached to it! I have created a new apple id but cannot transfer it to my itunes which all my apple products connect up to on my mac?! HELP!

My apple id attached to my itunes account has expired
They don't expire. As far as anyone knows Apple IDs live on forever - if you forgot its password use https://iforgot.apple.com. Good luck with the answers to whatever security questions it asks.
... I have created a new apple id but cannot transfer it to my itunes which all my apple products connect up to on my mac with all my pictures etc on!?!
Right! That's the reason you do not create a new Apple ID.
As far as Apple is concerned a new Apple ID is a completely different user, with absolutely, positively no access to anything available to any other Apple ID.
Concentrate your efforts on resetting the password to your old Apple ID. It has not expired, and is the only way to use all your existing iTunes purchases, App Store purchases, computer authorizations... etc. Forget about the new Apple ID you just created.

Apple TV worked until today. Message says unsupported signal check your output device. I have checked hdmi cable with another device and it's fine. Put on a different tv and same message. Went out yesterday and bought a new Apple TV and same problem.

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.
