Using Apple TV for the first time: STUMPED

Hi there
I bought an apple tv (with the cords) recently and have tried to set it up.
I basically just plugged it into the tv using the HDMI cable and have put the tv on the correct input but nothing shows.. or happens..
Is there a button i am supposed to turn on perhaps?
Or do I need to set it up with the computer first?
Any guidance is appreciated
Thanks
Saira

I just bought Apple TV today too, same exact problem you have. I plugged everything in, synced up the computer to do home sharing, turned on the television and nothing. It just keeps saying "no signal". The instructions don't say if the television should be turned to a specific channel or if it should be off cable (I turned the cable on and off trying to figure it out). I unplugged and replugged everything in and still nothing. I made sure the connection was as tight as it could since I read that could be an issue. The instructions just say to make sure that the television is on the "correct input" but I have no idea what that means. Usually I can figure anything out within a few minutes, but I'm coming up zero on this one. Seems like the instructions are missing a very crucial piece related to the television itself.

How does one get to use their apple id for the first time?

I registered for an Apple ID, which was successsful, but i can't seem to use it, because everytime i try to use it on iTunes it says I have never used this account before, and directs me to the review option which i select but it does the same thing all over again and I can't upgrade to the latest version, because System Preference is failing to open when I try to open the **** thing

Hi RegoAntony,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you are trying to use your Apple ID for the first time in the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

I am using garage band for the first time. I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures. I can't figure it out. Please help. I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful. It seems like an easy task. Can anyone help?

How do I accept the Terms and Conditions when trying to set up an Apple ID for the first time ( using my iphone)?

I am trying to create an Apple ID by using the Itunes icon on my iphone 5s for the first time. It opens up a screen with the 54 pages of Terms and Conditions and it does not allow me to even accept the Terms and Conditions... no Accept option or place to click!
The only option is to Send the terms and conditions via email... which also does not work...it keeps asking me to "try again"... Has someone else had this problem?

IPhoto nightmare. Tried to import photos using Nikon software for the first time and all my photos disappeared from iPhoto 8.1.2 (and everything from itunes too). Newly reinstalled iPhoto crashes as soon as I import anything now.

Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

Just used my FaceTime for the first time, and my audio kept cutting in and out.? Why is it doing that? Or what's causing it? HELP!

Do you have a Corp. Exchange account on your phone? I ask, because the requirement to encrypt an iPhone backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

I've made the search and found a lot of info.
Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?

Hi Pedro,
Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
As SolMan is a dual stack machine, you can use JSPM to update the kernel. Another way is to extract the Kernel SAR files into the exe\run directory. It is a best practice to update the kernel before the support packages. Take a backup of the existing exe directories before you update the kernel and also pay good attention while downloading the kernel. you need to take care while choosing the correct version of the kernel (either 32 bit or 64 bit and ITANIUM or XEON). If you choose the wrong kernel, then ur SAP system will not come up.
Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
Extract the IGS SAR also along with teh kernel files.
All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
Yes!!! You may have to update the latest SPAM/SAINT (SAPKD700*) before updating the SP's.
How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?
Support Packs can be updated using SPAM and the add-on upgrades has to be done using SAINT.

Flashing Green/Yellow Light & using my iPod for the first time

* Quick solution to my woes, and explanation afterwards*
Follow instructions exactly. Do not attempt to do anything else unless specified. Make sure you have Win XP with SP 2, and verify that your USB ports are working before proceeding. Reboot the machine when prompted after installing any software.
1. Charge the Shuffle overnight. Once charged disconnect it before proceeding. If you've already done certain steps then move to the next step.
2. Install Updater and allow it to update the Shuffle.
3. Once updated, install iTunes.
4. Create a 'Test' Playlist in iTunes and drag about 30 music files into it from a folder on your computer. Do not drag music anywhere else. Try mp3's as a start.
5. Plug in the Shuffle. Do not attempt to drag music in to it. Close any error messages you may see.
6. Click Start, and 'Restart' your computer (do not 'Turn Off' or power down).
7. Start up as usual, allow the computer to fully reboot. Do not rush it. Once everything is started up normally, open up iTunes.
8. You should now see the Shuffle in the side panel. Drag the mp3's from the 'Test' Playlist in to the shuffle. Go to the actual 'Shuffle' in iTunes and verify that you see them in there.
9. Now pull the Shuffle from the USB slot and plug it back in immediately. If your USB mouse stops working, allow step 10 to continue on its own.
10. You will now see the files transferring. Do not interrupt it. Once it says its complete, disconnect the Shuffle, plug in your headphones and enjoy.
11. To update with new tunes, go back to step 4 and follow the steps logically.
This is the only quick workaround. If the above steps don't work, you are not following my steps correctly, or your Shuffle is in fact dead.
* This was the only thing that worked for me. good luck! *
I'm an engineer. I've been programming and working with PC's for 24 years. This issue was frustrating, but I also enjoy a challenge so I hammered away at this issue. I've talked with Apple Tech Support and I did some very basic troubleshooting with them (even though I knew they would fail), and spoke with my computer/electrical engineer buddies but even they were clueless. Now this is a problem that I enjoyed so I rolled up my sleeves for a week and did lots of trial and error when I had the time.
I knew that sending it in for repair or exchanging my Shuffle wouldn't make any difference. I verified that my Shuffle was in fact functioning just fine as a memory card, and that my computer was running smoothly.
I did the usual manual install of USB drivers, tinkering with this and that, and toyed with motherboard drivers, tried different USB cards, compiled drivers, etc. Nothing worked. It didn't make sense that it worked on other XP computers, but it didn't work with others. I've noticed that at on some computers that other USB devices would disconnect. It started to make sense...
The imcompatibility issue could be within the Shuffles firmware and/or iTunes, because other iPods seem to work with no problems when connecting to iTunes. I did many forms of troubleshooting and through deductive reasoning I've learned that the Shuffle firmware/iTunes are the cause of the trouble. Why? Because when iTunes is not installed, the Shuffle works just fine as a memory card and there are no problems with other USB devices. As soon as you install iTunes things start to magically STOP working when the Shuffle is plugged in. This includes other USB devices to no longer work when iTunes and Shuffle are plugged in at the same time (an annoyance if your mouse happens to be USB). All USB devices worked flawlessly up until iTunes is installed, and the Shuffle is plugged in.
I do not work for Apple, but if they're still supporting this product I have provided many valuable leads in this posting. I hope it's helpful.
Athlonx XP Windows XP Pro

Update:
Well I was hoping that the new iPod Updater and new iTunes would fix the glitch, but it hasn't.
I've also completely replaced my motherboard for a newer more modern one, and I assumed that with a different chipset it would have fixed it, but it hasn't.
My work around still works though. At least the updates didn't make things worse.
