ATV 1st Gen keeps shutting down - can I swap drives?

Some months back I bought a 160GB ATV 1st Gen to replace my 40GB model. Now, sometimes when I come to use the 'new' one, I often find I can't switch it on and it's dead. When this happens I have to pull out the power lead, re-insert and let it boot up again when all's fine. Until the next time.
Has anyone any idea what could be wrong?
If the problem's terminal for my ATV and it may be a power supply problem or other non-HD problem, can I try salvaging things by 'simply' taking out the 160GB drive and fitting it into the 40GB model which works fine?
Thanks.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?

Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?

The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!

ATV 1st gen use with a DVI monitor?

I am trying to use my old 1st Gen Apple TV as an digital announcements unit at my church. It looks like the ATV only allows 480p, 720p and 1080i resolution. I am trying to use a 17" monitor with DVI & 1280x1024 resolution. Any suggestions on how to make it so that the screen doesn't come through squished? I'd rather not have to buy a new monitor/tv if I can avoid it.

if the monitor is displaying a "squished" picture then it means that the monitor does not support what is being sent to it (which is expected as it not a widescreen monitor).
there will be nothing you can do other than use a display that is widescreen (or a 4:3 display that supports widescreen signals).

Image quality with ATV 3rd gen

Hi. I have a 2nd gen ATV and am very happy with it. I use it to stream movies from my iTunes library on my Mac, and occasionally from Netflix. I recently bought the 3rd gen ATV. Over the weekend I used the 3rd gen ATV to stream portions of some movies from my iTunes library to see if I would notice a difference in image quality on my 47" LDC TV. Some were better (the 1080i HD ones) than with the 2nd gen ATV, most looked about the same, but it surprised me that a few looked worse.
I don't know how to describe the ones that looked worse. It's not an issue of pixelation. I believe Hollywood produces films on 35mm or 70mm format, whereas TV and home movies often are on lower quality 8mm or 16mm format. With the 3rd gen ATV, the movies that I thought looked worse seemed to have the appearance of lower quality 8mm / 16mm movies, rather than of higher quality 35mm / 70 mm movies. The characters and images on the screen looked more plastic somehow, with less depth. Any yes, I am talking about 2D images, not 3D. The movies in question were purchased from the iTunes store in SD format. They look better on my 2nd gen ATV than they do on my 3rd gen ATV.
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there a setting I am missing somewhere on the 3rd gen ATV that might cause this affect? Thank you

SD movies need to be scaled to fill your screen.
If your TV has a 1080 screen and your Apple TV is set to output at 1080, then your Apple TV does all the scaling.
Your Apple TV 2 has a maximum output of 720, therefore your TV had to do some of the scaling.
If your TV is significantly better than the Apple TV at scaling, this may account for what you say.

Home movies on ATV (1st Gen).

Under "movies" on my ATV (and on Front Row app.) I have movies and/or slideshows that I didn't add, and want to remove them. Conversely I recently created a movie of family photos with music on iMovie, moved to iDVD then saved as an img extension. I burned DVDs without problems. I would like to move it to "movies" on my 1st Gen ATV for showing, but haven't been able to do it. Can you advise me of the procedure to accomplish this, both removing unwanted movies and adding wanted movies to the ATV. Thank you.

Hi!
Open your project in iMovie. Click on "share" at the top of the screen. When the menu appears, click on "share to iTunes". You will get a menu asking you to pick what size you want. Go for the large size for the ATV. When it's done sharing, (may take awhile depending on how long the movie is) if your ATV is set to auto synch new content, it will copy over right away. If not, you can manually synch it, or just stream it. Hope that helps!

If I can stream HD on my 1st gen Apple TV can I expect same from 2nd gen?

I just rented Legend of the Guardians in HD on my 1st gen Apple TV and it played instantly at 12pm on Sunday. My connection is 15 mbits according to DSLreports. Can I expect the same performance from Apple TV version 2? When I got the 1st generation Apple TV it sucked for streaming HD and now I never use it for that because the experience was so frustrating. I got an Apple TV 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to decide if I should return it before opening it. Netflix is the main appeal but I can get a bluray player that streams netflix, vudu and more for about the same price. More reliable HD streaming from Apple might be enough for me to keep it.

I have 3 Apple tv's one that is the 1st gen I think 40 gb one that is 160 gb and finally the streaming one. I think that the newer one for me seems to suffer maybe a little more interference than the 1st gen models. My fix with suggestion was to have it run on the 5GHZ side maybe it was interference I don't really know all I know that I can stream movies no problem. I do have cable service at 20 mbps it should have no problems but running at 2.4 I did have problems saying it would take hours before I could watch the movie.I download on Itunes HD movies.

MacBookPro8,2 (AKA Early 2011) will not Sync with AppleTV 1st gen

I have a MBP (MacBookPro6,2) purchase Dec 2010 and a new Thunderbolt MBP (MacBookPro8,2). My plan is to give the "Older" MBP to my daughter who has a PowerBook G4.
Upon receiving the new machine, I used Apple's Migration Utility to transfer all my data and settings from the 2010 MBP to the 2011 MBP. All my iTunes Media is on an External Hard Drive that I connect as needed via FireWire 800. iTunes is version 10.2.1 on both machines.
A problem arose when I tried to sync new iTunes content from the 2011 MBP to my 1st gen AppleTV. The 2011 MBP will not sync, giving the Error Message: "Apple TV "My Apple TV" is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
I "Uninstalled 'Little Snitch' and turned off the Apple firewall on the 2011 MBP; (i left them alone on the 2010 MBP as there were no problems with that set up on that machine.) No joy. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Defaults and then tried to SetUp and sync from the 2011 MBP again; but again no joy.
From the 2010 MBP, I "Restored" the Apple TV to factory setting, updated the ATV software and then was able to sync all my data with no problem.
Now, the 2011 MBP is running a special version of MacOS 10.6.6 (10J3210). The 2010 MBP is running the Release Version of MacOS 10.6.6 which is Build 10J567. Other than that, the two machines are clones of each other.
Any ideas why the 2011 MBP shows this error and refuses to sync? I did call Apple Support. They had no clue and referred me to a Genius Appointment.

I got the same problem Driving me nuts!! And of course, no help from apple...

HD videos on ATV 1st Gen?

I have the 1st Gen ATV downstairs and the 2nd Gen ATV upstairs. I have been succesfully streaming video from my PC to both my ATV's without a problem for well over a year. Just recently I purchase a GoPro Camera which shoots video in 1080p as an MPEG-4 Movie. My 2nd Gen ATV plays the content just fine but my 1st Gen cannot seem to reconize the video at all. The videos definetely exist in the iTunes library but the 1st gen won't even show them as an available movie to play. It's simply not there.
All other videos from my iTunes library are streaming just fine to both ATV's - it's only these new videos from my GoPro camera that are the issue. The only difference, from what I can gather, is that these videos are shot at 1080p.

Hi!

Unable to set up dual band with my 1st Gen Airport Extreme

Not sure if my 1st Gen Airport extreme supports this but I unable to figure out how to setup dual band networking. I have certain devices that work on 2.4 Ghz and some that work on 5ghz. I trying to improve my network speed by separating the devices that can use 5ghz. Any advise please?

1st Gen AirPort Extreme will do either 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
Simultaneous dual band was introduced in the 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme.
Simplest solution.....the current AirPort Express will do simultaneous dual band. You could then reconfigure the AirPort Extreme to extend the 2.4 GHz network for increased coverage.
Be careful with 5 GHz as this is pretty much a "same room" or "line-of-sight" deal since 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals....they won't penetrate through walls or other obstructions nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals.

Please help me with this 1st gen ipod Nano question!

Unfortunately, my 1st gen Nano just died, most likely due to the heat in my car since I played it in there all the time. Now I have inherited an old 2nd gen Nano and would love to be able to transfer all the music from my dead 1st gen to this one. Is it possible without the computer that had all the music from my 1st gen? (the computer died long ago as well!) Is there a way to transfer the music from nano to nano without a computer? Or am I just out of luck...? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Just so I understand, your Nano is dead, the computer you used to sync it is dead, and I assume you have no backup.
Is that right?
Anyway, you can't copy music directly from one Nano to another, dead or alive.
See if this helps: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
I believe you will need to download all your iTunes purchases to a computer and sync it with the replacement Nano. You do not have to pay for previous iTunes Store purchases again.
Launch iTunes on a computer.
Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
To play what you download, you will need to "Authorize this Computer" for each computer you wish to authorize. This only has to be done once. There is a limit of five computers that you may authorize.

I can't stream netflix with an extra apple display ...

...on a MBP11,3 i7 late 2013 with Yosemite.
I just switched from 10.9 to 10.10 and my apple display 2006 isn't supported anymore for streaming Netflix, probably due to some HDCP issues.
Netflix only works with the display unhooked, yesterday (10.9) it all worked fine ...
Sorry Apple, I don't like this.
How can we solve this issue?
Tx

Already found a solution.
Apparently it is the HTML5/DHCP in Yosemite which causes the problem.
In Netflix preferences I unchecked HTML5, so it plays now on Silverlight.
That did the trick, I can use both my MBP screen and the Apple display again while streaming Netflix.
Easy fix.

IPad 1 will it stream Netflix with the HDMI adaptor?

Will IPad 1stream Netflix with HDMI adaptor? In HD.

i believe it will play with the hdmi cable and all the out put cables
but not 100 % sure about HD video, i would imagine so, its so hard to find real hd video on netflix, computer hd content can be different from set top box hd content.
the one thing that netfix won't do is play over airplay they won't support it

Stream netflix on iPad 3rd gen to TV without HDMI

Is it possible to stream netflix video content from my iPad 3 on iOS 6.1.2 to my TV using Apple COMPONENT cable? My TV has composite and component inputs but no HDMI. I know apple TV isn't an option. I have the latest version of Netflix app.
