Samsung smart tv

Should I be able to play my itunes via my Samsund D5000 smart tv and if so how?? Can someone help please.
I can see my photos from my ipod touch but cannot play the music. hould this be able to be done via wireless

I have a Samsung Smart TV and love it! BUT... I HATE that it won't play my AAC files, and while it supports DLNA, DLNA does NOT support AAC. So, that kinda *****. Everything else I LOVE about the TV, except the incompatibility with my music. Means I can only play my MP3s on the bugger. And I have the highest bit rate AAC files -- which I am just NOT going to convert to MP3s.
All however is not lost! For $99 add an Apple TV with Air Play, and stream your AAC files through the TV. And if you are using iTunes Match (which I am), you can plan all your music right from the cloud if you so choose. I was looking at a transcoding server -- but now why bother, when for $99 I can get everything I want.

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

How can I watch itunes purchases on my samsung smart tv?

I received a nice Samsung Smart TV as a Christmas gift and I have a couple unwatched movies I purchased on iTunes that I'd like to be able to watch on my TV as I do with the HBO Go, NetFlix, Amazon apps on my Samsung TV, etc. Is there an app I can download to watch iTunes purchases just as I watch Netflix et al? Before I had my smart TV or blu ray players with Netflix and Amazon I used to just connect my MacBook pro to my HDTV, but I feel like this method is quited outmoded now and was hoping for a different solution...
I know people will likely suggest purchasing Apple TV, but I don't see the point when I only own a couple iTunes movies/TV shows and already have a smart TV and two blu ray players with Netflix et al. Also, what else is Apple TV good for that my Smart TV and blu ray players and MacBook pro cannot do?
Would be great if they'd just develop an app that I can install on my smart TV, even if I had to pay a little bit for it... it's much preferable and easier than buying yet another overlapping product.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

There is an amazing FREE server named Plex. Go to the website and install the app on your MacBook. Now open the app and follow the instructions to select your movie folder. You would want to select your iTunes movie folder in this instance. You can select a different folder for TV shows. You can also select more than one folder for each category. Now while plex matches your movies with MetaData and cover art etc, go to your TV app store and install plex. Follow through the instructions and add your IP to Plex on your TV. And there you go, wirelessly streams your contact over your internal network! It works great I have used this for a long time.
Any questions just ask

Apple TV no longer connects to Samsung Smart TV

My ATV (newest version) worked just fine for many months connected to my Samsung Smart TV. Recently, I updated the Samsung Smart TV software. The last update was 6 months back. Now ATV does not work. ATV has been connected to HDMI4 and worked just fine. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
All ideas welcome.
Thanks in advance

I have an ipod nano, and an HP laptop. I've purchased music from the itunes store, as well as down loaded most of my cd's to the library. My question is: how do I get all this music into my Samsung smart phone?

I've spent the last 6 months purchasing from the istore and downloading CD's to my library, in preparation for a 6000km cruiser trip on my motorcycle this summer. Only to find out that I cannot download from itunes to my Samsung smart phone. Does anyone know why, or does anyone know how? I called Mac tech support and they told me it cannot be done, I have to purchase an iphone. Please help, I've got 2000 songs for the trip and a bluetooth headset in my helmet. I own an ipod nano full of the same songs, but of course Mac made it so you cannot blue tooth a nano, so I have to use my phone.
Thanks ahead of time!
PS Keep your instructions rather simple though please, I'm 60 yrs old!

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

How can I connect an External Hard Drive plugged in an Airport Extreme to my Samsung Smart TV?

Hi..
I have an Airport Extreme and an external hard drive in its USB... I could connect it to both my Windows and Mac computers, but I couldn't connect to my Samsung Smart TV... Does anybody know how to do that ?
Thanks,
Felipe

Did you have any luck with this? I have the same issue... my Samsung TV used to connect fine with USB drives connected to other routers, but since I upgraded to Airport Extreme, the TV no longer sees any external drives, although WiFi is working great via Airport Extreme.

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

Connecting iTunes to Samsung smart TV using airport express.

Does anyone have any experience of connecting airport express to a Samsung smart TV to use as powered speakers? I have connected using a standard convertor cable from 3.5mm jack to dual connections but this is not showing up on the TV 'Source'. Samsung support have not been very helpful but I dont think I'm trying to do anything ground-breaking?! This worked perfectly well on the previous TV.
If this is a no-go - has anyone managed to stream iTunes onto the TV using the wireless network?
Any help/hints/warnings would be greatly appreciated.

My TV has RCA-type analog inputs but for some reason they do not recognise the input from the Airport Express. The music is streaming ok because if I connect headphones to the port on the airport I can get music playing.
I'm loathe to buy Apple TV to do what the Airport Express should do for me - however, I might end up down that route. Can I play all content from my iMac - even music which was loaded from CDs onto the machine rather than purchased through iTunes. I really dont want to have to pay £25 a year to mirror content I've already purchased in iCloud so that I can play it in my own house.
Thanks for the advice.

Hi Kingofmacs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro and TV both have HDMI ports, you can use an HDMI cable to connect the two.
This article can help confirm that your MacBook Pro has the necessary HDMI port:

You may need to use an adapter to connect your iMac to your TV. This article has more information about Apple video adapters:

No recognition connecting w530 to Samsung Smart TV

Hello Everybody,
Im having issues trying to connect my computer to my smart tv. I have a new samsung smart tv and a thinkpad w530. I also have a 15ft mini displayport to HDMI cable (NOT converter just cable) from monoprice I just got in the mail today. Set windows 8 up to duplicate the screen. Neither the computer or the monitor can recognize that they are connected to something else... very frustrating. I am trying suggestions in other threads to no avail.... I feel like im using my left hand here too because I used linux for like 3 years before I got this new computer. I don't think I really know my way aroun windows 8 enough so I might be missing some very useful settings.
EDIT: want to add specifically what I have tried. I tried changing graphics mode to discrete in BIOS. Have set up screen to duplicate, not extend or anything. Fixed resolution of separate screens back to normal (when I set to multiple monitors it shoots me down to the lowest one). I also checked (via the control panel) for new NVIDIA drivers. It said i already had the latest. Im having a hard time finding the specific driver I need for the displayport for thr w530. If you can provide this link, please do! I can't find it and it may end up helping me.
I think what I have tried to far will make sure it works once I get it to recognize the TV. But it hasn't done anything to make me recognize the tv. I want this to work very badly!
Thanks for any help,
Caitlin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Works perfectly. Tested in both clone mode (both laptop screen and TV) and TV-only (laptop disabled). Did not try extend mode double-wide desktop), as I wouldn't normally want to operate that way with a laptop, but since all other modes operated perfectly I'm confident that extend mode would also have done so.
NOTE: Win7 Pro x64, nVidia 333.11 driver, "discrete graphics" enabled in BIOS.
With the W530 and 65VT50 powered off, I connected the miniDP->HDMI cable from W530 to HDMI4 on my 65VT50. Then I powered on the TV.
Then I powered on the W530 (configured for boot screen to laptop LCD as always). Once the boot process completed, the Windows Welcome screen was present on both the laptop and the VT50. Obviously the external TV had been recognized, and nVidia control panel (333.11) had automatically gone into "clone mode", with monitor 1 (laptop) being duplicated onto monitor 2 (TV). I run with "discrete graphics" in the BIOS, and latest 333.11 nVidia driver installed.
After signing in to Windows, I noticed that "overscan" setting on the TV (for HDMI4) was wrong, and that the outer edge of the Windows desktop was not visible. A quick visit to Setup on the TV, to change this from 95% to 100% solved that one, and the entire Windows desktop was now 100% visible.
I then visited nVidia Control panel and disabled the laptop, using only the TV.
I also visited the speaker icon in System Tray -> playback devices, and selected the TV's speakers rather than the laptop speakers.
I had to enable the TV's speakers with its audio setup, as I normally use an external sound system. But this worked perfectly and I was able to get sound from the TV when playing video, system sounds, etc, exactly as expected.
Finally, just to confirm that the laptop was sending out 1080p to the TV, I double-checked in nVidia Control Panel:
I also confirmed on the TV itself (with the "info" button) and sure enough the TV was receiving 1080p from the laptop.
So... works perfectly for me, with my Panny 65VT50. Now I did have to enable HDMI4 of course (as I normally have all HDMI inputs other than HDMI1 disabled, since that's all I ever use in my home theater setup).
Not one single hiccup or issue. W530 (243852U) + K1000M.

Samsung Smart TV Remote and Standby Mode

Hi All - A few months ago I got a Samsung Smart TV that came with a pretty nice remote. It really can control almost all aspects of the FiOS service, but there are a few commands I cannot figure out how to get it to send to the FiOS STB.
First off, when I power on the TV, the STB is still in Stanby mode. It asks for me to "Press Menu to Watch ...". I cannot figure out how to get the Samsung remote to send that command or to disable standby mode on the STB. There is no menu button on this remote that's not TV-specific.
Second, I can't figure out how to bring up the full guide using the remote. By pressing the "up" direction on the four-way button, I get some smaller version of a guide, but I would prefer to see the standard full screen guide.
Finally, is there a way to get to the On Demand and DVR menus using the Samsung remote?
Anway, that's the the scoop. Most other featuers (DVR, etc) work pretty well.
The remote I'm using is a RMCTPF1AP1 and the STB is running version 1.9.7 and build 19.45. It's a QIP7232.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on getting this working.
Dave

I'm not sure if you are turning the STB off or if the idle timer is doing it.
No reason to turn the STB off as it doesn't save any energy.
So leaving it on would alleviate one issue.
