No Sound between LG tv and Apple TV

I have tried almost everything! Just purchased AppleTv3, set it up and have perfect picture but no sound. Read many forums and tried many things eg: new hdmi cable, all hdmi ports, different TV And when I did this all works perfectly! Bring it back to my TV no sound. Tested another device, Boxee and all works ok, picture and sound good. Turned off Dolby in both Apple TV and TV, I am using AirVideo and can't find many settings there but looked anyway. Tried all settings ion TV just don't know what else to do!
In short by setting up on another TV I believe I have prove AppleTv and cables are ok, so it's something to do with TV? Does anyone know if there is a comparability problem with LG and AppleTv? Any other help, any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

I have an LG 42PG60UD. I just bought an appletv3 recently and I had exactly the same issue. I live in Australia.
PROBLEM:
Plugged the appletv directly to TV via HDMI. Video worked well but no sound. I don't have a receiver.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
I tried the following:
1. Changed HDMI cable, even bought an Apple HDMI cable: Still no sound
2. Turned off dolby digital: Still no sound
3. Reset Apple TV to factory default: Still no sound
4. Tried AppleTV on my crappy LCD TV in the back room: (Sound & Video) worked perfectly.
This wasn't a solution for me because I wanted the AppleTV to work on my LG TV at the front. So I went to drastic measures and bought a converter for HDMI to RCA (composite). BIG MISTAKE! DO NOT TRY THIS! because quality was terrible, luckily I was able to return it.
SOLUTION:
I was just about to give up, when I thought I'd play with the settings one more time.
Kept everything as default but changed the Screen Resolution via the settings menu
Audio & Video> TV Resolution> Auto (changed to 1080p 50hz)
Looked like it was picking up 1080p 60hz which my TV didn't like. I don't know how it affects the audio but right after changing that setting the sound worked right away.
SOLVED!!!!!!!! Well for me. I hope this fixes your issues too. Might even solve it for issues with your receiver too.

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

How to set up a home network between an iMac and Apple TV

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard connected by Ethernet cable to the internet via a wireless-capable modem running at 5mbps.
I want to network it to an Apple TV connected to my HDTV by an HDMI cable so I can run Netflix. The TV is on the first floor at the back of the house. The modem is on the third floor at the front of the house. I estimate the distance between them to be about 65ft. The set-up is such that it would be difficult to bring the two closer together.
Could you please advise me the best way to set this up? My concern is the distance from the modem to the Apple TV. Would Airport Express used as an extender be needed and/or enough to link the two (this could be positioned approximately half-way)? Or is there some other way to achieve the desired hook-up?
I'm elderly and digitally challenged, so will need rather explicit step-by-step help !!!
Many thanks.

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard connected by Ethernet cable to the internet via a wireless-capable modem running at 5mbps.
What is the make & model of this wireless-capable modem? If it is not an Apple product, then extending it with an AirPort Express (at least not by wireless) will not work.
Assuming that it is not an Apple product, then the only other choice would be to connect the Apple TV by Ethernet. However, I can certainly understand if Ethernet is not desireable or practical ... so an alternative to that would be to use Powerline adapters. These adapters take advantage of your home's electrical circuit to create a pseudo Ethernet one. You would then need at least two of these adapters to be placed at the locations of the wireless modem and the Apple TV. Each adapter would be connected to an electrical wall outlet and a short Ethernet cable would run between the adapter and the device (modem & Apple TV) to complete the circuit.

Loose connection between Mac Mini and Apple TV 2

Help! I have a new Mac Mini 2.5 ghz running Lion and Apple TV2 hooked up to my 32 inch LG TV.
Before I got the Mac Mini, Apple TV was running just fine on the same network with my Win 7 machine.
Ever since I got the Mac Mini and I run the Apple Tv at the same time. I loose connection on both. My cable provider replaced the router and all my other Win 7 machines run just fine on a wireless network. I might also add that when the apple tv and mac mini goes down, my ipad 2 goes down too. Of course, air play doesn't work . It comes and goes.
I have a 2nd Apple TV 2 and hooked that up to the same tv with the same results. I have called Apple many times. They are helpful but not been able to solve my problem. The cable provider and I have traced down to a conflict between the Apple TV, Mac Mini and the IPAD 2 .
Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?

I have had multiple ATV's, desktops, laptops, and i Devices all running at the same time without a problem. Typically on a network when you start 2 devices and the connection crashes it is an IP problem. Check the IP address on both devices and see. It is usually easiest to have the router assign IPs automatically using DHCP. The router, computers, and ATVs should also be set to DHCP.
If everything is set to DHCP try disabling DHCP and assign fixed IPs to each device.

How can i get sound on BOTH imac and apple tv

Apple devices will either go to iTunes or a designated location. Media browser will go into the project folder and accessible by other applications such as iDVD and GarageBand.

The difference between regular ram and "apple ram" from 3rd parties

So I made a previous post on the Macrumors forums regarding whether the RAM issues in the Unibody MacBook have been resolved or not: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=692653
It seems that most people who bought OCZ ram have had no issues what so ever. I am located in Canada so a store like CanadaComputers is great for me because I can go pick it up instead of having it delivered and pay shipping costs (as opposed to Newegg.ca). On their website, they have two modules with similar specs expect one is found in the Apple ram section and the other is in the regular ram.
Apple Ram (OCZ)
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...80&cid=RAM.188
Regular Ram (OCZ)
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...id=RAM.187.778
When comparing the specs, the only difference I can see is that the CL on the Apple ram is 7-7-7-20. The CL on the regular ram is CL 8-8-8-27.
The price difference between the two is $57! OCZ's website confirms that one is made specifically for Apple Notebooks and the other is just regular.
Can anyone explain what CL is and whether it is something that needs to be taken into consideration. Thanks.

That only needs to be taken into consideration if you're using applications which are very demanding about performance, which aren't intended for usage by home users. Click here for more information.

Communication between Best Buy and Apple

Where is the communication between these two companies? It's frustrating to have NO CLUE if a phone will come in a day or in 5 weeks. Who at Apple is deciding what they end to what stores? Obviously, Best Buy has to pay for the phones. There has to be some sort of communication.
Would it really be that hard for someone high up in Best Buy to communicate with Apple? Maybe a list from each store of their orders and what they are waiting on. Give that to Apple. Apple can give some sort of answer. Exepect this much in this time frame... expect this much later. I mean, something. Instead of leaving everyone in the dark, completely.
Someone at Best Buy corporate has to have SOME clue how Apple is shipping and to what stores. To say no one has no clue at all, is nuts. And if it's true... Best Buy needs to get a clue. DO SOME WORK FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS. At least get some truth, so if we need to go elsewhere, we can. It would be better for both sides.

Apparently since they come on UPS, they don't know when the shipments are coming in or how much. Which I think is bull.
If that's the case, what I want to know is HOW do they know they received the amount they were expecting? If they don't know how much they're getting or when they're getting a shipment, then what's stopping the delivery man from stealing a box, and they wouldn't know any better? Maybe the higher up manager's know, and they aren't allowed to reveal that info, but there has to be a checks system in there somewhere verifying the stock received.

Airplay not working between MLB app and Apple TV

Hello
I'm having Airplay problems, specifically between the MLB at bat app for 2012 and my AppleTV's with the most recent software update. Here's the details:
-I'm using an ipod touch and and ipad, both with all updates
-the two appletv's with the most recent software update don't receive the airplay from the mlb app, but...
-an appletv that hasn't been updated (still has the text menus and not the 'tile' icons) works
-all other streaming apps from either iOS device (pandora, radio, etc.) work with ALL the appletv's
So, it's just the combination of the mlb app and the most up to date (software wise) appletv 2's
Other potentially relevant info:
-all three appletv's mentioned above are the black appletv 2 versions, but they are 2010 models, not the recently updated ones
-I do have an older apple tv 1 (silver, hard drive), that has been hacked with the remote HD installation, and it doesn't work either...it worked fine with last years mlb app, but not this years...and it at least gives an error message saying that there's an 'error loading this content'
-the appletv 2's that aren't working don't give any kind of error message, they just have the perpetually spinning gear icon
-the iOS mlb app does give some indication that it isn't happy, but I can't remember the exact verbage...may be as simple as 'stopped', that is you keep hitting play, it trys to play, then displays 'stopped'...something like that
-I'm hoping that whatever fixes the mlb stream to the appletv 2's will also magically fix the stream to the older apple tv 1, though I completely understand that that function isn't at all supported.
thanks for help!

The 4s will work with the MLB app and AirPlay if you turn on MIRROR mode. It doesn't actually mirror the display, it projects the video as you would expect it to with AirPlay. Unfortunately there are three 4's in my family and they don't work at all!

I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV. Has anyone yet found a solution? One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers? One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared. I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working. Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Flickering between password screen and apple logo?

my ipad 2 keeps flickering between the password entry screen and the apple logo on a black screen every second, bleeping as it switches between the two screens. This will go on indefinitely and no individual button is receptive, for example you can not alter the beeping volume.
I have left the ipad until the battery drained, but when placed on charge it starts going through the same process, flickering between the two screens. I have tried holding the home and power down buttons in as suggested on these forums but although it reboots as such it starts to beep and flicker between the two screens.
Has anyone any clues, the beeping is getting a little annoying.

Yes, it concerns me a little as well. Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes and you could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. That may be the issue causing iTunes to think that the iPad is an iPhone.
Before you try that, try different USB ports on your computer. Don't use a hub. Make sure you connect directly to the computer. You could try rebooting your computer as well.
Here are instructions to remove iTunes.

I know you feel this way too, but I don't want your situation to get any worse with trying too many things. I know you are "dead in the water" anyway with the iPad but still - you don't want to exacerbate the problem.

Stuck between spinning circle and Apple logo...

I realise everyone is having issues, but they seemed to be related to issues once the phone actually connects to iTunes. About 4 hours ago my phone did connect and try to upgrade etc, and I got the 3200 error. HOWEVER now all my phone is doing is switching between the Apple logo and spinning wheel of death... ANYONE know what the **** I do? None of my 3 computers will even recognise it's plugged in...

Iphone is flipping between blue screen and apple screen

My iPhone just went black and dead and has done this almost daily for the last 3 weeks.
I was told to reboot and did so each time. Now, after the last black screen...after the reboot, the iPhone is just flipping between the "apple" screen and a blue screen. ???
