Want to stream music to TV but would prefer blank screen

I'm successfully streaming music to my TV using AirPlay and ATV2 but would prefer a blank screen, as opposed to the screen saver, etc. I don't see anything in the preferences that would achieve this. Any suggestions?
Thank you

The ATV appears to have no screen blank option - how about making a totally black jpeg file, making it a slide show, and selecting it as your screen saver?

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

  • HT1515 My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?

    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

    If you've forgotten the answers to your security questions and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • To see pay method I tap on View Apple ID but get a blank screen. Why? iOS 8 iPad

    I Tap on Settings, iTunes and Apps store, tap on my Apple ID to show View my Apple ID. I tap on View my Apple ID to bring up payment method but get a blank screen.  How can I correct problem? I have turned iPad off and on With no improvement.

    Not sure what would cause that.  You could try a simple reset to see if that would help (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  If that doesn't work, you can always review and update your payment information from your other device.  If your computer is signed into your account you can also do it from there (see iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information).

    Hi TheMom1999,
    Do you mean that you are unable to open the pdf files via Reader?
    Which OS are you using? Have you updated Reader o v. 11.0.7 and checked?
    Was it working fine for you before?

  • How can I stream music via AirPlay but still have an internet connection?

    Hi guys,
    Ive just bought an Airplay speaker but I seem to be missing something here as I can't figure out how to stream my audio on my iPhone to the AirPlay speaker but still use the internet by either WiFi or 3G at the same time. I stream all my music using iTunes Match or Spotify.
    There are volume buttons, a power button and wifi button on the AirPlay speaker. The instructions state to press the wifi button for a few seconds then it will appear as a wifi connection on other devices. And so it does. It comes up in my wifi list on my iPhone and on my Mac too. So as it suggests, I connect to the speaker's wifi connection, and if I go to the Control Centre, AirPlay gives me the option to choose the speaker and it connects to it fine. It streams music that's locally on my iPhone, but when I try to connect to Spotify, stream something using iTunes Match or just use the internet on my phone, there's absolutely no connection. Of course it seems to be using the speaker as the primary and only connection to the internet.
    If I try to connect back to my home wifi network, I get my internet connection back, but lose connection to the AirPlay speaker! It just disappears altogether. So what am I doing wrong here?
    I've tried the same on my Mac but having the exact same problem. Can anyone please advise me where I'm going wrong?
    Other notes: I am using a Virgin Media Superhub 2 with dual band 2 and 5 GHz connection options, Technika AirPlay Speaker, iPhone 5S and a MacBook Pro.
    Thank you in advance!

    You're not setting things up properly. You need to first connect this speaker to YOUR network, not create a network using the speaker. I suspect there is a setup menu for this speaker to do so. Check the documentation or the maker's web site for instructions.

  • Want to stream music help!

    I have an iMac 17" 1ghz (older ima) with an airport card in it.
    Right now I have the iMac streaming music to our stereo with in
    Airport Express.
    I am currently using my Sawtooth as a music machine, so right now to
    get my iTunes to play to the stereo I have to
    1) Start Sawtooth/itunes
    2) Start iMac/iTunes
    3) Select shared library on the iMac from the Sawtooth, then stream.
    Can I just switch the airport card out?????? Or can I stream via the Netgear wireless router.
    Both computers are connected to the router via ethernet
    Thanks Laura

    Can I just switch the airport card out?
    No. The 1 GHz iMac G4 uses the AirPort Extreme card which is NOT compatible with the Sawtooth Power Mac G4.
    Or can I stream via the Netgear wireless router.
    No
    But you could connect the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet to the Netgear and then stream directly from the Sawtooth to the AX.

  • HT204266 Download to update all apps, but I see blank screen?

    I have five updates on iPad to download, but I see a blank screen. I could not update them.  How do I fix this?

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    Only Apple can fix it now.

  • My nokia 635 switches on but has a blank screen. Any ideas?

    My Nokia 635 has been switching itself off ,but when i switch it back on it worked fine.Now my phone has switched off and when i put it back on it has a blank screen.Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Remove and reinsert the battery.
    This should work.
    It could just be the phone needed to reset after a software update.
    Thank,

    Replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs are available from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    You will need those discs to change the admin user name and password.

  • HT4437 Using airplay, I want to stream music from my Mac to my ipad in a different room

    Like the question, I've connected my ipad to my Mac & my Apple TV but I would like to listen to music from my Mac in a different room and have the sound come from the iPad, I can control itunes and Apple TV from my ipad what is useful if I'm in the same room but what I really want is to know how to control the sound to come from the iPad, I can listen to stuff from cloud but the internet has a nasty habit of cutting out so airplay would be cooler.. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Ok, thanks for letting me know
    Though I find it a bit misleading to say you can stream what you want to any device around the house.. Why would I want to sit in another room playing music in another, I can't exactly carry my mac around the house.
    If you don't want to store loads of music or films on your phone or ipad that couldn't store all what I've got on my mac I'd say that would be the most useful feature, so you can play it on another device.
    I live and work in a bar and sometimes DJ or just like to just pump music round the bar without messing about taking stuff on and off my ipad.
    There just seems to be a lot of needless limitations, like you can't even get all the content you would watch ether... When you can get everything on a laptop and plug it into a TV and watch what you want and have a 500 to 1tb hard drive on it.
    I really like the idea's their coming up with but their not quite there yet.
    I often wonder why they just don't do a Full HD TV with a mac inside it and doubles up as a stereo and you can just stream everything from it.
    Maybe in the future.
    Cheers
