Sync problems with ATV per HDMI and optical out

Have some sync problems with ATV (actual), TV is connected via HDMI, sound goes over optical cable into DAC (Rega) and then to the amplifier, when using only TV-sound everything is fine, switching to the external speakers brings up a little delay, around 1/10 second. Any chance to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I believe this delay is caused by the DAC, I don't think there is anything you can do about this.

HDMI and Optical Out

After the update I can not output audio to hdmi and optical audio at the same time. Anyone having the same issue? Did apple remove this functionality?

Problem with ATV refresh rates and frame rates

I live in Australia and as such I am subject to PAL, so when I set my ATV up I set it to 720P 50Hz, when I purchased a TV season the episodes were running at 25fps and played back flawlessly with no dropped or added frames. My problem occurs when I download movies, all the movies I have bought are running at 24fps and suffer from quite noticeable jitter, almost like the 24th frame is duplicated and added as the 25th frame, I assume it is something like this as the pause happens every second.
So has anyone had a problem similar to this and if so what do you do about it?
Does the ATV playback all sources (24/25) smoothly even if it has to convert?
Could it be caused by my TV?
Any help to any of these questions would be great.
Thanks.
Tim.

With my particular Apple TV setup and TV combination, I find that setting to 1080p (60hZ) gives my the best all-round round results.
This does result in -slightly- jerky motion with 25fps material (especially old British TV shows), but it's bearable. It's particularly noticeable with sideways scrolling text and credits.
The one thing that is peculiar on my setup is if I use 720p (either @60hz or 50hz) and watch an iTunes-purchased HD episode that is encoded at 24fps I get very odd motion effects indeed. Every few seconds the video appears to speed up almost like it is 'catching up' with lost frames - very hard to explain exactly how it looks. Anyway I set to 1080p and this effect is gone completely. It also goes away if I set to 1080i. I think something queer is going on with 720p on the Apple TV (at least with my TV there is). This happens with both HDMI and component outputs.
It may be worth trying 1080i at either 50 or 60Hz if your set can't do 1080p.
I would also suggest that 60hz in theory should give a smoother motion for 24fps playback than 50Hz.
My basic problem with all this is that on even a cheap DVD player if a disk is 50Hz, the player switches to 50Hz output and if it is 60Hz, it will change to 60Hz. The Apple TV stays fixed. It's a shame it can't autoswitch refresh rates.

Sync problems with i-phone 4s and i-pad 2 using IOS 7.1.1

I have been sycning through my PC for years. Where did the "start sync" command go on the IOS update?

Yes, and most just say how to reduce the use on the iPhone to increase battery span. I'm not finding that helpful as I actually use my phone for business so can't reduce the facilities any further. I guess I could just turn the phone off to gain longer battery usage, but that defeats the object of having a mobile phone.
Also with apple ignoring the issue I felt the more complaints the better.

Sync problem with OS 3.0 and original iPhone

Under iPhone OS 2.2.1, at the start of each Sync, the first 10 seconds was devoted to backing up my iPhone which has less than 2.2 GB on it. Now, under the 3.0 OS, it is taking almost 2 MINUTES to backup the same amount of data!
Has anyone found a way to fix this and get the backup speed back to just a few seconds?

After a week of syncing, the speed is faster. Not as fast as under 2.2.1 but faster than it was a week ago. Probably the speed hit is due to the extra overhead that 3.0 added.
So I'm closing this question.

Satellite M45 s3553: Major problems with computer dumping disk and blacking out

My laptop just suddenly started freezing and turning itself off while I was using it. I haven't downloaded any programs or files on it in quiet some time so Im pretty sure that its not any new program causing the trouble. I just reformatted it and installed ONLY MSN messenger.
As I was chatting, a blue screen flashed and then it turned black with the DVD drive just clicking a few times every 5 seconds as thought it was searching for a disc. I am not able to turn it on and it doesn't respond at all.
Can anyone tell me what happened and what I need to do to fix the problem?
All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Well, very strange issue.
But you are not able to turn on the notebook or the CD/DVD drive?
If youre not able to turn on the notebook so you should try to remove the battery and to disconnect the AC adaptor from the notebook. Wait several times (> 15min) and then connect the battery and the AC adaptor. Then you can try to start the notebook again.
But if youre not able to enable the drive so you should check the device manager. Check if the drive appears in the list and remove it from the list.
Then after new notebook reboot the OS should recognize the drive again.
The automatically shut downs could be caused by overheating or software malfunction.
I dont know how old your notebook is but you should check if the CPU and all another devices are properly cooled. Check if the cooling modules run properly.
Sometimes dust and debris is a reason for such shut downs and therefore you could clean careful the fans.
But if you have no experience so you should ask a computer expert for a help.
PS: The vacuum cleaner is a simple tool for the fans cleaning

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process?
You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chuck

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

)Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

Running HDMI and Optical to Denon Receiver for separate zones

I have the AppleTV (generation 2 I think) that I had setup in the following manner:
HDMI direct to Denon receiver for main room (both video and audio) - Zone 1
Optical audio to "Optical to RCA" converter then RCA cable to Denon for audio to patio - Zone 2
This allowed me to AirPlay music from my iPad to the AppleTV and output that audio to both zones at the same time. The added convenience was to carry my iPad around (in or out) to change music as needed. I hadn't used the patio speakers in a while but now notice it won't output to the patio (zone 2) speakers. I have double checked cabling, confirmed speakers work outside by changing to the radio tuner, etc. I have power to the Optical to RCA converter with a red light On. So my guesses are:
1) something has changed on the AppleTV not allowing output to both HDMI and Optical (new update make changes?)
2) possibly the converter isn't working although it is showing power and I have done nothing with that box since setting this up a couple of years ago
When I look into audio settings I see "auto" and 16bit for output, Dolby Digital auto, on, or off, but nothing that specifically calls out optical.
Any ideas?

Well, chalk one up for Alley_Cat. I went back to the drawing board and started playing around with various settings to see what I could find out. After playing around with the various listening modes, I noticed I could not get the receiver to play in "Stereo" mode in Zone 1 at all - everything coming from the center channel. Did some research and found I needed to push a button on the remote D/ST (Direct/Stereo..I think) and that fixed my Zone 1 issue. Thinking that would solve the Zone 2 issue, I checked those speakers and still nothing. After playing with it some more, I took one last look at the back of the receiver and noticed in my frustration earlier I put the RCA plugs in the "out" jacks and not the "in". Switched those and lo and behold worked again.
To be clear, the mis-aligned RCA jacks was not the original problem, and I cant say for sure it was the D/ST button because I tried a number of things before switching the jack locations...but it is fixed for now. Fingers crossed it will stay that way! Thanks.

[SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

Hello good society of Arch
Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
Thanks
