TV screen issues with Apple TV

Apple TV is great device! However if I use an HDMI cord (tried two different ones) then I get a constant small green line (vertical) on the right side of my TV screen (42" plasma). If I use component video then the green line goes away but the horizontal aspect of the screen is off. The picture appears to be shifted towards the bottom. More space on top of the screen and less on the bottom. In the old days one could reach behind the TV and adjust v-hold or h-hold (I think that was what it was called) to make that correction. I don't have problems with my VCR (yes I still use one but not very often) and xbox.
I have messed with the TV screen options but that doesn't help. I think it is the Apple TV since all my other components work great.

We had this same problem on our Philips flat screen LCD but not if we connected to our Vizio or Mitsubishi TVs. Found the solution on the Philips web site, on the remote for the TV, press and hold the arrow key for the direction you want to shift the screen to get rid of the green line. If the line is on the right, press and hold the right arrow key until the screen shifts over a bit.

  • Sound issues with Apple TV show rentals/"choppy" sound quality

    I have been renting "Lost" episodes from the iTunes store on my new Apple TV. There is something wrong with the sound quality. It's very choppy. Almost like a fan is cutting up the sound. Anyone else experience this problem? What's the fix?

    So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
    Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Jeremy.Laurin,
    have you tried agb76’s approach here?

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

    What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

    I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
    If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
    Thank yoyu

  • IPad air 2 not downloading or updating apps. Is this an issue with apple?

    I Just got the iPad Air 2 Wifi 2 weeks ago. I was able to only update a few apps which was very slow, then nothing all together. Can't download or update my apps. Keeps turning in a circle and not loading. Is this an issue with apple? This problem started with my iPad 2 before I upgraded thinking there might be little or no support for it by now. I cannot be going to iTunes every time I need to download an app. Doesn't make any sense.

    Thanks Brian. Did that already severally. Didn't resolve it. Had to had reset and reset settings before it started working. It's good now. Thanks once more.

  • Mac has white screen, sometimes with apple in middle, sometimes not.  Besides bringing it in for hands on what can I do?

    On start I get a white screen, sometimes with apple in middle.  Besides bringing it in for a hand on what might I do?
    thanks

    The Gray Apple appears only when it has been loaded from the boot device. Its failure to appear suggests the Boot device may be the problem.

  • Is anyone having any uneven or discoloured screen issues with iPad mini or iPad 4th Gen?

    Hello, in view of the fact that many users had screen discolouration issues and uneven backlight issues with the iPad 3rd Gen, I wonder if those issues have been sorted out. Has anyone here had any screen issues with the iPad mini, or the iPad 4th Gen?

    No.

  • Strange issue with Apple ID in iTunes and Safari

    I have a client who recently has had a very odd issue with his Apple ID.  He is unable to purchase any music from the iTunes store on his MacBook Pro running 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.  When he tries to purchase a song from the iTunes store, he enters in his correct apple id and password but itunes just returns right back to the login window with blank fields.  There is no error message about using an incorrect password or apple id.  When we try to log in to the Manage Apple ID page using Safari, we get the exact same thing.  No error, just goes right back to the login screen like nothing happened.  We can, however, log in to the site using another browser like Firefox or Chrome without issue.
    I have done some extensive troubleshooting and isolated it to the user library since itunes and safari work fine in a test account we created.  I've tried pulling all seemingly related pref files, application support files, caches, keychain items, the safari folder, etc.  Basically if it was in the user library and had safari, apple id or itunes in the file name, I pulled it.  This didn't fix the issue.  I was able to temporarily fix the issue by pulling pretty much everything from the user library folder's application support and preferences folders.  Everything worked for a little while but then the issue returned.
    Does anyone have an idea what file could be going corrupt so quickly that is causing both safari and iTunes to no longer log in with his Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sometimes resetting an Apple ID password can help >  Apple - My Apple ID
    If that doesn't help, from the iTunes menu bar click Store > Sign Out
    Restart the Mac, launch iTunes then sign in again.

  • White screen issue with DVC Pro HD

    I have a G5, have Final Cut HD and have upgraded to QT 7 Pro. I am trying to open an HD file I shot last year, which was edited on another system. When I try to open the clip, it is a white screen with audio. The movie info is as follows.
    DVCPRO HD (720p60), 1280 x 720, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    Any ideas on why it is not playing? Thanks!
    John M

    ok... i just got this on mine. yesterday i was just getting ready to log subclips from fcp5, and when i opened the project file, i noticed that all my subclips i created and orignal clip where all red / out. so i closed fcp5 and went to the location of the file. i double clicked it, and behold, white screen, audio only.. so i had to completely redo the convertion of the orginal file.
    next day
    I was looking for a subclip that i had already extracted from the main file, and when i double clicked it showed the video. after that closed the window, and someone asked me to reopen the quicktime file again, i double clicked it, and all of a sudden the video was white, and only audio.
    ive spent about 4 to 5 hours researching with someone else on this issue and have yet to find anything such as a fix, or work around, but my video keeps disappearing which is disturbing. from what we have come down to the issue is deals within quicktime are below...
    we believe that quicktime is somehow changing the codecs DVC PRO and changing it to "Integer (Big Endian), Timecode, Video.." that is what it says.. and comepletely removing the codec for the video, and deleting the video footage, but keeping the audio in place perfectly. now, we also used metadatahootenanny to inspect a copy of the file and low and behold severe corrupt of the meta data in the quicktime file. the issue be with quicktime interaction with storage, or a bug quicktime behalf. we need to find a solution to this issue. we are currently in contact with apple tech support and hopefully we will be posting a answer soon.

  • WRT120N connection issues with Apple devices

    my family has a plethora of devices we connect to the internet wirlessly through our relatively new WRT120N router, including a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3. 
    The wireless on the laptops and desktop (all are PCs) is fine, but the wireless on the Apple devices is terrible. every 5 seconds or so the signal will drop and the devices will lose the connection with the wifi. You have to go to settings and wireless to reconnect, but that will only last you another 15 seconds (if you're lucky). I have updated the firmware on the router, but it didn't do anything.
    Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this problem? It's ridiculously annoying, and I have a feeling can be fixed with relative ease, especially since it's just the Apple products that are affected. 
    Thanks! 

    @ jimmypat1221,
    Same here and I did some research and here’s what I found.  I accessed the router settings by typing the 192.168.1.1 (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=856544c9d38d4e7a870493667aac568b_20603.xml&pid=80&...) and I found out that the firmware is not updated, so I upgraded the firmware my self. I downloaded first the firmware (http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/routers/WRT120N) and saved it to my desktop screen. Going back to the router settings and I just follow this link on how to upgrade (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=96&vw=1&articleid=4030) and it was successfully upgraded.  I set my set settings on the router with channel 11 and the security was wpa2 personal. From then on I don’t have issue with any of my apple devices.

  • Stuck at grey screen issue: with an Afghanistan twist

    First time post, so please go easy. I apologize for loading so much into the first post, but I believe it's better to give you all the information about my situation so I don't waste your time having to ask me questions about it, that I could have already provided.
    Background: I bought my 17" MBP from a friend in late 2007 after he convinced me how superb it was in comparison to a PC. Since then I've been on a mission to convert everyone I can, as I personally view Windows as a self sustaining virus and will never use one for personal use again.
    I'm in the Army, and my MBP has survived three long deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and has not once ever had any kind of problems...until now. I'm currently in Afghanistan with my MBP and do not have any of my systems disks. A week ago, the CD drive stopped reading disks of any kind and ejects them after attempting to read them. Additionally, I can now hear the right side fan sounding like a lawn mower.
    Today, my biggest nightmare came to fruition. I restarted my MBP after making some folder organizational changes, and it now refuses to start. It sticks at the grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel. The wheel does spin. (I say that since in other threads I've noticed most people say their wheel does not spin).
    I've already read countless blogs and discussion boards, and have tried many recommended solutions. I have particularly enjoyed Kappy's help to others. But I feel as if I'm in an near Apollo 13 situation, in that I do not have my installation CD and it wouldn't help anyway with my CD drive not responding and having nothing else to use to get my MBP to start up.
    I've tried the single user startup using command "s" and attempted some solutions suggested by Kappy with the following results:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    This ends by telling me "The volume MAC HD appears to be OK"
    AWESOME
    So then I tried this:
    :/ root# /sbin/mount -uw /
    :/ root# cd /Library/Preferences
    :Preferences rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    and could not go any further because it responded with: "No such file or directory"
    When I tried using command "V" it kept repeating the following:
    chad-squires-macbook-pro-32 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.mDNSResponder[31]): posix_spawnp("/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder', ...): No such file or directory
    So at this point, I have no idea what to do. I have internet access through a friends MBP (thought it's about as fast as dial up), but that's the extent of my problem and availability of resources to fix.
    Please tell me that there is something I can do to get my baby working again, and most importantly get some irreplaceable family photos off and other documents back.

    Oh boy, you've gotten some all-over-the-board responses.
    Let's start here.
    Someone mentioned above that it sounds like the NVIDIA issue. Rest assured, unless you have no video, graphics artifacting (lines, distortion, etc.), or kernel panics (messages that tell you you have to power off/restart), you don't have the NVIDIA issue. People love to toss that out when you have a model that may be affected, your symptoms don't sound anything like this.
    You're not necessarily SOL without your install discs per se, but if it does look like you need to reinstall, there's not much that can be done without...well...some kind of installer. You can install from a USB drive but you'd need a working machine and an operating system disc of some kind to clone it.
    That said:
    :/ root# /sbin/mount -uw /
    :/ root# cd /Library/Preferences
    :Preferences rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    Unless I'm reading this wrong, you've got a typo.
    Should be:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    I saw the line
    :Preferences rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    Was expecting you to have root# in front, that makes me think you typed 'preferences rm', you don't need to type 'preferences' first.
    Also: is your account set to automatically log you in (take you to the desktop) or does it have you type your username/password first? That might be important.
    Have you tried a safe boot?
    Safe boot: this can be helpful if the issue is with your account, a font cache, or a third party kernel extension/driver. Boot this way by holding Shift when you hear the chime, let go when you see the spinning gear. If all goes well, this should take you to the login window. If you can't boot in safe mode or if it does the exact same thing, again, let us know.
    The results you saw in verbose mode make me think it's hanging because something got moved. mDNSresponder is important and you can't start without it.
    There are other preference files that we can troubleshoot, I find verbose mode to be the most helpful in diagnosing the spinning wheel that goes on forever, a lot of times it's a corrupt driver and there's not much that can be done except reinstall.
    Lastly: you mentioned you restarted after organizational changes and that's when the problem started...what did you move? Anything in the System folder or Library folder(s)?
    You mentioned you have a friend with a MBP. Any chance either of you has a firewire cable? Does he have his discs? You can use another computer's superdrive in target disk mode hooked up to your computer, that's always one way to reinstall if your own superdrive doesn't work.

  • Update to iOS8.1 on iPhone 6, getting a flashing red screen alternating with Apple screen. Can't power off or do anything else.

    While updating to iOS, it appeared that the download was progressing so I laid my phone down. Checked about a half hour later and I now have a continuously flashing red screen that alternates with the Apple screen. I can't power the device off nor use the home button. iTunes doesn't recognize the phone so can't sync or reload.

    Hello rwax,
    The troulbeshooting steps detailed below can help get your iPhone to successfully power on.
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
