No Audio on Apple TV (3rd Generation)

Audio suddenly went out on Apple TV while watching a movie...now it was there and next minute its gone.
Not able to bring it back tried everything

You might want to look at the file in comparison to say one that plays properly in a couple of applications to see if you can spot any differences. The Apple TV identifies some elements of a file in a different way to iTunes.
You might try examining the files in iTunes, Quicktime Pro or Videospec, amongst others.

  • Apple TV 3rd generation

    Hi
    I have a question regarding Apple TV 3rd generation. Is there any information about the things of which the new product will be built? For example what kind of audio chip will be inside etc.
    I'm sorry for the level of my language but I'm not a native speaker.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here.

  • HT1586 Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    AppleTV has no analogue connections.
    It has HDMI which can go to your TV or in theory to an AV receiver equipped with HDMI inputs.
    Some HDMI amps/receivers and HDMI switches can cause glitches with AppleTV but it really depends on the particular device.
    AppleTV also has optical out, so if you only wanted a connection for Dolby Digital or stereo feeds from the AppleTV you could connect AppleTV to teh TV via HDMI and also run optical to the amp.
    Audio is output over HDMI and optical simultaneously.

  • My apple TV 3rd generation is not playing video Music from my iTunes PC

    I have video music that can run in iTunes in my PC, but when trying to play them in My apple TV 3rd Generation the system report an error. As well my Apple TV is not showing my video music I have store in my PC, them appears in iTunes at my PC but not in the Apple TV. What I can do to solve those issues?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Are you sure that the video you are trying to play is compatible with the Apple TV, simply because it will play in iTunes does not ensure it is.

  • I have purchased an Apple TV 3rd generation and successfully installed it. I have enjoyed using this device. However, I don't see other devices other than iTunes on one of my Computers

    I bought the Apple TV as I have an iPAD 1st Generation, thinking I could pipe my iPAD to the TV. After messing around with it, and searching on-line, I find that I need an iPAD 2nd Generation as there is no app for mirroring for the 1st Generation.
    My other issue is; dDoes the Apple TV 3rd Generation allow access to other computers? I have a Media Storage device but the Apple TV does not "see" it, only one of my computers that has iTunes on it...I have almost all my media in Apple formats, but cannot access the device. It only allows me to see the iTunes app on one of my computers...why can't I connect to other computers on my network with this device?

    1, you can't mirror on the iPad 1 per se. However, some (not many!) apps do support explicit mirroring of the app's content. Note that the fact that an app supports TV out via the wired(!) HDMI / VGA doesn't necessarily mean it'll also work over the wireless AirPlay. (An example of them is ArtStudio for iPad. See the dedicated discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18841572?ac_cid=ha123456#18841572 )
    2, the ATV can only access iTunes Home Sharing. No UPnP (see e.g. http://forum.maccast.com/index.php?/topic/18215-does-appletv-work-withe-upnp-med ia-servers/ ), no Samba, no AFP, no nothing. This is why you only see the desktop iTunes' shared videos.

  • Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

    Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

  • No "AirPlay" in Apple TV 3rd Generation menu

    I have an Apple TV 3rd Generation  (Model A1469) and I am trying to set a password for my airplay so that I don't have random people in my vicinity connecting to my TV. I know that there should be a setting available if you go to Settings>AirPlay, but I don't have that option in my menu! I have already checked for software updates and I have restarted the Apple TV as well and the option is still missing. Any suggestions?

    Hi DBTechnology,
    To make sure we are on the same page, when you go on your Apple TV and go to Settings > AirPlay > Security you are not seeing an option for a password or onscreen code. If you are not, then you may need to restore your Apple TV. Take a look at the articles below for more information on how to set up the password or onscreen code as well as restoring your Apple TV.

  • Unsuccessful Apple TV (3rd generation) SW update

    Hi
    I already bought an apple TV (3rd generation),after connected it I checked it's current SW version and founded it's running an older IOS version 6.1.1
    and when i an the update process over wireless, it downloaded the latest SW but it failed to complete the update process
    I ran the above process more than 7 times and always I was getting the same failures
    can anyone help in this ?
    Note: I've also tried to restore it (wireless connection) and the same failure message appeared too

    You can connect it to a computer with iTunes on it (You need a micro-USB cable for that). Then you can restore/update the firmware through iTunes.

  • HT1600 Apple TV (3rd generation) cannot update

    Recently, my Apple TV (3rd generation) showed that I can update it.
    But while updating, it showed, "update was not successful". I have tried restart and restore it, but it did not work as well
    Do you guys have any ideas about how can I fix it ?

    I´ve got the same problem, tried several times to update my ATV3 to 5.1.1 but the installation process stops always at 95% of the 1st (out of 2) step displaying the message "update was not successful, try to restart ATV and then update again".
    I did so 5-6 times including latest time after disconnecting my ethernet cable and using wifi connection instead (as "pinette" suggested) but with no success.
    I´m a bit surprised of this malfunctioning behavior of an Apple application update process as these usually are smooth, trustful and successful.
    Can anyone please help me in giving a hint how to solve this issue? I´ve updated both ATV 2nd gen and ATV 3rd gen several times earlier with no problem whatsoever. My computer is a Mac Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (can´t run Mountain Lion OS 10.8 on this MacPro) and latest iTunes 11 (which runs without problem on the constellation MacPro/MacOS X 10.7.5). Do I maybe need a Mac computer running Mountain Lion on my home network for being able to update Apple TV 3rd gen to it´s latest software 5.1.1?
    If there is no forum member/guest having an answer to this question maybe some representative of Apple support can help me? Is there a working solution or stands this update problem for an application bug?
    Best regards,
    Stefan

  • Apple TV (3rd Generation Retail Demo Mode

    Hey guys!
    I'm kinda stuck here. I've been trying to activate the retail demo mode on Apple TV (3rd Generation) using the Right, Right, Left, Center button combination for our store demo model. That part worked, but from what i've read, there is supposed to be a retail demo reel that plays and I cannot get that part to work. It shows up in the screensaver section but when it activates, it starts up the normal floating photos from National Geographic. Does anyone know?! Please help
    Baz

    Not at all unfortunately. Must only be available for Official Apple Stores. Kept trying all the time, to no avail. Never mind

  • Apple TV 3rd generation tv compatibility

    Is it possible to make Apple TV 3rd generation work for a tv which only supports 480i/p or 576i/p resolution?

    Yes, the Apple TV can output at a number of resolutions, including 480p and 576p, however the TV needs to support them for them to show up as options on the Apple TV.
    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to recreate the issue of the Apple TV not displaying on a TV and therefore haven't been able to test solutions, so the suggestion to set it up elsewhere is more of a try it and see.
