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

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

  • HT5706 trouble staying connected to air play with Apple TV even though my device is still connected to the internet and playing.

    I am having trouble staying connected to air play with Apple TV even though my device is still connected to the internet and playing.

    Troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.
    Power cycling the ATV and router is generally a good place to start.

  • TS3694 My iPhone will not up date.  The update has down loaded by when it says verifying with Apple it comes up with the error message 3014.  I have 52% space left on my computer

    My iPhone will not update.  The update has downloaded but when it says verifying with Apple it comes up with an error 3014. When I checked that error out, it says I need to make space on my hard drive but I have 52% space left.  Any suggestions?

    brad805 just as you messaged me I plugged my phone in one last time to see if it would work now and it has. My advice to others in my position. Try pressing the off and menu buttons at the same time if this doesnt work just leave the phone several hours like I did and go back plug it into your computer again and see if it works. I was patient and left mine plugged it in again and got a result.

  • I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop.   How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility?

    I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop.   How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility?  Does anyone use photoshop on your mac?

    Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
    I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers.

  • HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

    Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

    Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
    However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
    To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well.  If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • I am using an iPad with Apple TV and airplay with a projector in my classroom.  The mirroring cuts out and back on several times during use. Any suggestions on what's causing it and how to fix it?

    I am using My iPad with Apple TV, Airplay and projector in my classroom.  The projector screens blanks out and back on several times during a presentation. It seems like a problem with connection but I'm not sure as it comes back on after a few seconds. Any idea of what is causing this and how it can fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • This problem showed up last year spent 2 months with apple senior supervisor for tech support no solution. When the "new" itunes came out problem fixed its self. Just did an update last week or so and back to the problem. In "get info" missing all rt side

    Last year upon an update some of my itunes media was not working. Then the new version came out and it fixed itself.
    Well another update and we start over with the problem. In the itunes store you can not preview any tv show, music video, or movie.
    In your itunes library none of the purchased movies, tv shows, or music videos play. The element the same is in the get info tab. The information in the right side pane in the middle is gone. The left side information is still present. The right side info is the purchase info. Even an item downloaded today had the missing info and will not play. After dealing with apple support with the first go around last year. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8 or more times, in the proper order. I deleted my itunes library and reinstalled it. We deleted all types of program files and program data. nothing worked. I was trying things on my own and foung nothing. Please help I am so frustrated with this. It seems to be a codec error that I can not solve.

  • Apple Raid Card compatibility with Tiger 10.4.11 ?

    I am considering raiding 4 internal HD in a Mac Pro and I am still using Tiger 10.4.11.
    Is there some compatibility issues with Apple Raid Card ?
    The card specs say it should run 10.5 to work properly.
    Any hints ?
    TIA

    I find mixed results here...

    By putting in MacPro & 10.4, then searching the results for the word raid, though I don't see 10.4.11 specifically, I did notice RAID getting broken at upgrade points, and less than spectacular results... heck, my 10.3.9 SATA I, 2 drive RAID 0 on a QS/2001/G4/DP/1.467 does almost as good as the MacPro results.

  • MSI GX660R with intel motherboard and compatibility with Samsung 840 EVO SSD

    Hi
    Im am new to this forum, so I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong section.
    I am considering to replace the hard drive in my MSI GX660R with a Samsung 840 EVO 250 gb ssd, since it has the best benchmark ratings and are very afordable. My laptop has an Intel motherboard with an i7 core processor.
    My question in relation to the upgrade is, whether the laptop is compatible with that excact ssd. I plan to run it in AHCI mode, since I have bad expirience with loss of data under RAID. If i chose to run the extra HDD as a secondary drive, it will therefore still be under AHCI.
    Can anyone refer me to some sort of compatibility list, or tell me if the above mentioned drive is compatible? I havent been able to find out myself, and MSI is farily difficult to get in contact with.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, your early 2013 Retina model uses 6.0 Gbps SATA but it's not a standard mSATA connection. You could upgrade using Transcend's JetFlash -> http://www.transcend-info.com/apple/jetdrive/ - to space up to 960GB, however.

  • Airplay intermittent with Apple TV, but fine with Airport express

    I have a strange issue with airplay that I can't figure out.
    At home: (Apple TV, Airport Time Capsule, and everything is within 10 feet of each other). Usually just using airplay from iTunes, but the same problem exists when I navigate to the library via apple TV.
    •My MBP will stop playback randomly (A few seconds to a half hour). I assume that this is a buffer / streaming issue. However my iphone streams music without interuption for hours! So it would appear as though the problem is specific to the MBP
    HOWEVER...
    At work: (airport express and computer is within 5 feet)
    •My MBP streams perfectly for hours (no issues)
    I just can't figure out why my MBP is having problems at home. I've ran updates for everything I own (MBP, apple TV, Time capsule), but I still get inconsistent streaming! Frustrating.
    Any insights, guesses, or other airing of grievances would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks,
    Brett

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • With Apple TV can I listen music on my hifi if the TV is switched off?

    one simple question : can I still listen to the music on my hifi if the TV is switched off?
    I explain myself : If I just want to listen to some music on my stereo, do I have to switch ON the TV or it works even with no telly on? (I havent bought it yet...).
    and also : is there any difference between Apple TV and AirPort Express, in terms of music quality, or its exactly the same thing?
    thanks

    You don't need the tv on to listen, navigation though would require either you turn the tv on or use an iphone/ipod touch to control it.
    No difference in audio quality between the tv and the express, can't remember what max bit depths they use but the sample rate is limited to 44 KHz.

  • Issues with macbook and wireless compatibility with netgear router

    my macbook wireless is extremely spotty with my netgear router at home.
    the connection is sometimes very good, but other times, extremely unreliable.
    the wireless connection to the router is perfect, 4 bars. and it is actually within 10ft of the router itself.
    i use my macbook constantly at my college student center, and the connection to the network and internet is perfect...
    is there any way to fix my internet connection in regards to the netgear router?? (all other PC + PC labtops are perfect with it. its just my macbook that has issues)

    I have to agree with you.
    I have a Netgear Cable Router, my iPhone & my wifes iPhone, my Vista PC & my older Vista Laptop connect with out a problem and are rock solid to boot.
    My new MacBook Aluminium seems to be very tempremental at best. Dont get me wrong, i love my new macbook but i am a little unhappy that this is happening. Looking at others on this forum, it seems to be across the board so will happily await a firmware/driver update from apple.
    With any luck, this should be resolved shortly.
