Sony Bravia Z5500 will not recognise HDMI output from Apple TV 2nd Gen

After a frustrating time trying every connection possibility - various HDMI cables, all 4 slots, I still had no picture or sound. A week later (living so far from the shop) - I( angrily confronted stafff and told them I had a dud Apple TV. I had spent hours on the phone, firefox, apple and sony sites.
They took it from me and plugged it into a samsung 3d tv and - hey presto - instant picture. I feel like an idiot - and I thought I knew all about technical issues. But this is just annoying me. They looked at this old man and just shook their heads. I am resorting to the hope that someone out there knows the answer ... ??

got a bravia KDL-40WE5W and my appletv 1g never had any problems but if you messed with hdmi settings if thats possible and forced it to use various overscan only accept 1080p or something that could cause problems I guess

  • Can not access iTunes Match from Apple TV (2nd Gen)

    I select In the Main Menu => Music => Turn on iTunes Match. I select this option and the iTunes Match screen displays indicating that I must subscribe to this service using iTunes on my computer. I click OK and takes me back to the previous menu.
    Under the Computers menu, my computer is recognized and I'm able to stream music and photos.
    I had already subscribed and uploaded all my music to iCloud's iTunes Match.
    Has any one experienced this problem? If yes, how it was resolved?

    Are you logged into the Apple TV for the iTunes store using the same account as you used for iTunes Match.

  • Sony Bravia 2006 will not recognize AppleTV

    I cannot seem to successfully connect my Apple TV to my Sony Bravia KDL40S2000. I've followed all the suggestions I can find online:
    I have connected the AppleTV to the Sony Bravia with multiple HDMI cables.
    The HDMI port is active, and works with other devices (there is only one)
    The Apple TV is connected directly to the TV.
    The Apple TV works fine on other TV's
    I know which video channel to look for.
    There is no sound or video.
    The resolution on the Apple TV is set to auto. I have tried them all.
    I have contacted Sony, they simple gave me the user manual, very unhelpful.
    When connected there is simply no signal.  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
    Thank!

    Since it is working on other TV's the issue would reside with the Sony display. Best to persist with them.

  • Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

    Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
    Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
    I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
    The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
    Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
    Thank you,

    None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
    I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

  • Video output from iPod Touch (2nd gen) via AV Component Cable (no audio)

    Hi, I'm trying to output a video from my iPod Touch (2nd gen) to my TV via a AV Component Cable.
    Unfortunately the audio doesn't work, I'm sure they are all connected into the right places.
    The video works, but I get no audio. (And no subtitles when closed caption is on)
    Here is a link to an image of the TV connections from ImageShack:
    http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7280/img0204y.jpg
    At the top left of the image, are what I assume to be the red and white audio ports, highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the red and white audio connectors into those ports.
    And towards the bottom are three ports, green, blue and red, also highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the green, blue and red connectors into those ports.
    I changed the input of the TV to Input 2, I see the video for the movie I'm watching on the TV but no audio. I tried multiple movies.
    I've also tried changing the video output from PAL to NTSC and back again, turning Widescreen on and off and turning Closed Captions on and off. I also tried plugging in the red and white audio connectors into the row of ports just below the green/blue/red row, to see if that made any difference, and it didn't.
    I tapped the bottom left button of the iPod Touch when plugged in to the TV and playing video and it came up with an option that was selected called ~"Audio Source: English (Stereo)"
    Any idea's? Thanks.

    Resolved... ThankYou

  • Lightroom 4.4 will not recognise ARW files from Sony RX10

    I have tried reinstalling LR - still doesn't work. It says all products uptodate as well. Any ideas?
    My Mac can read the files fine and displays them correctly in iPhoto

    The Sony RX10 is not yet supported in Lightroom.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    It will never be supported in Lightroom 4. Adobe never retrospectively adds support to superseded software.
    It'll probably be supported in the next version of Lightroom, say 5.4 due sometime in the next couple of months.

  • Upgraded (6.0.6) iPhoto will not recognise music purchased from ITune

    I downloaded the iPhoto 6.0.6 update and the iTunes 7.1.1 update, and now when I try to add any of the songs from my iTunes library which I have purchased from the iTunes store to one of my Iphoto slideshows, it says that my computer is not authorised to play the song (even though it is - i.e. the songs still play on iTunes). The same problem does not occur with songs in my library not purchased from iTunes.
    I also had no such problems before I downloaded the updates. Very annoying. Any answers?

    Actually, Apple does list the QuickTime requirement, but you have to look for it. Updates do not usually require other updates (although lately some of them have). However, when you upgraded from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7, you caused your Mac to need the system requirements for the upgrade. They are listed here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ on the Apple Download iTunes 7 page. Notice under "Additional video requirements" where it says QuickTime 7.1.5 or later, which links to the update page for QuickTime.
    I agree it would be nice if they made it more obvious. It is a good idea to get into the habit of checking system requirements before upgrading any software, to avoid exactly this kind of surprise.

  • FCE will not recognise or capture from AC-DVC30E camera!

    Hello,
    I am trying to capture footage (DV-PAL 48k anamorphic) from a Pan AC-DVC30E camera into Final Cut Express, but a message appears unable to locate device. I have tried every DV setting available and bought a new firewire cable to check it wasn't the firewire connection. Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    thank you for the quick response David. It is set to VCR and AV in/out settings in the camera are set to DV Out - 'On'.
    I have attempted to capture with the camera plugged into a power source - unfortunately this hasn't helped.
    I must be missing something, just cannot work it out!

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

  • Connecting my macbook pro 13" to Sony bravia via mini Displayport to HDMI

    Hi,
    yesterday I bought a new LCD TV Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 (Full-HD LED) that has 4 x HDMI inputs.
    I also bought a mini Displayport to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI cable.
    When I connect it to my computer, the screen goes blue for a second and it doesn't recognise any additional displays. There's also no video or sound in the TV, on the right HDMI channel. (I've tried every HDMI input and every channel)
    I've tested the TV with another laptop that has straight HDMI output from the gfx card and it works perfectly.
    I have up-to-date MacOS and I also upgraded my TV's firmware to the latest.
    I thought that maybe the miniDisplayport to HDMI connector is broken but why does the computer try to do something when I turn on the correct channel on the TV?
    I'm out of ideas..

    Hi madhenry,
    I know it's a month on from your post, but I thought I'd add that I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to connect my new MacBook Pro (15" core i7) to my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX600 using a mini displayport to HDMI adapter. When I plug the cable in, the MBP screen goes blue for one second then goes back to normal, but the system just doesn't detect the external display.
    I've tried the MBP on other monitors and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the adapter or cable.
    I've also tried plugging two other Macs into the TV (a 2008 15" MacBook Pro and a 2008 MacBook) and the TV works great with both of them.
    So, it seems there's something specific to the new MacBook Pros that makes them incompatible with the Sony EX600 TVs.
    I just talked to AppleCare about it and after trying a few things (resetting the PRAM, etc.) I was simply told that there's nothing wrong at all with the Mac and that this is simply a "compatibility" issue that I have to put up with. So, it looks like we're out of luck until (hopefully) a new Mac OS update fixes the issue.

    I was given an ebook as a gift. I found that i can down load books from calibre however when i purchase a book i can get it to appear in ADE but ADE will not recognise my ebook.

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • Equium M50 will not recognise the LAN port - error: Network Cable unplugged

    I own a Toshiba Equium M50 and have problems with the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
    I used to connect via an 'ADDON' Modem/ADSL Switch and had no problems. I then replaced the ADDON with a 'NETGEAR' DG834G ADSL Modem/Router to gain the wireless port, and since then my machine will not recognise the LAN port. <error: Network Cable unplugged>.
    I know that the cables are OK as I used them with other laptops and had no trouble. I can also plug in a PCI card to connect without any problems. It looks to me as if the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller has a problem with the netgear Modem/Router.
    Anyone out there with a similar experience and some advice/suggestions?
    PLEASE

    Hi
    For me it doesnt show like a LAN card problem but your router is a problem.
    Check the device manager if the LAN card was properly recognized. If there are no yellow exclamation marks so everything is ok!
    You can try to delete the LAN card from the device manager and after new reboot install the LAN driver again.
    The issue has stared after installing or connecting the new Netgear modem router.
    Therefore I would recommend to checking firstly the settings or to update the firmware on this router.
