Why does my Apple TV on 5.2.1 not send audio through the optical cable to my ONKYO receiver?

So I have my ATV hooked up to my tv through the HDMI cable because when I try do it it through my AV Receiver tx-ar608 from ONKYO then there is no picture nor any audio. The receiver works fine with anything else (e.g. bluray player, wii, playstation, laptop). To answer some questions that might pop up, yes I am very sure I am on the right channel and yes, the audio settings of the AVR are compatible with the ones of ATV. Now I can plug my HDMI cable into my tv and get some sound but as its only the tv speakers its pretty crap and i bought my ATV mainly to listen to music from my library. I tried to connedt my ATV with a digital audio cable and I can see the red light and it is plugged into the right socket and it is on the right setting and channel (games) but there is no audio from the receiver but only from the tv... Please help me with this.
Much appreciated, Neil

Hello Damian!
Thank´s for your helping answer!
Let me ask some more questions for better understanding:
Is there a difference to load the new software with usb / Itunes ? Will Itunes find automatically the new apple TV update 5.0 (we talk about the latest and newest update with the different user surface)
If "my" itunes won´t find the new software update, is the are chance or possibility to install the downloaded version, which i found in the internet. It is the version 1_5.0_9B179b_Restore.ipsw (487 MB size)? How will i get this version into Itunes?
Maybe you can answer my new questions.
Thank you once again for your efforts.

Why does my IPad put I's, which is not a word, for the word "is"?

Why does my IPad put I's, which is not a word, for the word "is"? This I's driving me crazy!

You probably typed an error that got accepted in your keyboard dictionary. To get rid of it, reset your keyboard dictionary. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. This resets all the suggestions you’ve made to the dictionary.
To accept or reject dictionary suggestions:
To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the suggestion to dismiss it before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPad becomes more likely to accept your word.
To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

Is there a way to have audio only come through the optic cable and video come only through HDMI on Apple TV 3rd Gen?

I currently have a digital optic cable hook up from my Apple TV 3 to my receiver and a HDMI hook up from my Apple TV 3to my flat screen. The audio is coming out of my TV speakers and receiver at the same time. I was wonder if there was a way to switch the audio output from the Apple TV 3 to the digital optic cable and only have video come out of the HDMI? I really only plan on using my receiver for the audio for my Apple TV 3. I know that I can just mute the TV but I wanted to know if there was a way to switch the feed. Thanks

There is an option on my TV but if I do that I lose all my audio on the TV. I have 3 HDMI ports on my Flat Screen. One is for my cable, one is for my PS3 (BTW the PS3 has an option to switch the audio feed so it will come out of the digital optic cable and leave video for the HDMI), and the last one is for my Apple TV 3. If I switch to external speakers I will lose my audio for the cable. I was hoping there was a way to switch the audio feed on the Apple TV 3.

Why does my Apple iPod screen go black suddenly and then go to the home screen?

Once in a while, when I'm doing something on my iPod, the screen will go black. Then
it will go to the main app. screen and stay there, until I hit one of my apps.!
Why is this doing this?

Sounds lke a normal glitch. They just happen sometimes. Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my apple ID always disabled when im entering my password in the game center?

how many times i change my password because its always disanled for security reasons??only in game center application...

Go to Appleid.apple.com, then go to manage your account and try to login. If it wont let you go to reset your password and try login again if it works that time go back to the game center and try using your apple id there with the new password.

Why does my Apple Id password work one day then suddenly doesn't the next?

When I try to update an app it says my password is incorrect when I just used it to download an app yesterday? It hasn't changed.

It's not meant to be an answer, it's meant to be a suggestion.
You'll notice I said, "Try"...
You can use the email form here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
Maybe Apple can help you directly.

Known issue: Cortana does not play audio through the default playback device (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

When getting audio feedback from Cortana on a device with multiple playback endpoints (e.g., a device with a headset and an internal speaker), the playback may occur on the incorrect device. For example, Cortana may not send audio to the default device
after the default has been changed in the control panel.

There is no workaround for this issue.

HT202157 Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility. It never said that before. Now my apple tv is not working.

Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility. It never said that before. Now my apple tv is not working.

Hello Rickpoulette,
The following article provides further information and could very well help get your Apple TV and your television cooperating again.
If HDCP authentication does not succeed, you may see one of the following symptoms:
A message may appear on your television stating "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."
You may see periodic bands of static, or full screen static, flashing across your TV screen.
If you are experiencing either of the symptoms above, try playing the same content again for at least another 10 seconds. If the issue persists, try the following steps until the issue is resolved:
Connect your Apple TV (2nd generation) directly to your HDTV using an HDMI cable.
Set your Apple TV and HDTV to off or sleep mode
From the Apple TV interface, select: Settings -> Sleep Now.
Turn off your TV and wait for about 10 seconds.
Turn your TV back on.
Press the Select button on your Apple TV remote to wake your Apple TV.
Some HDTVs may need a firmware update. Consult your TV manufacturer's user manual or online support pages for additional information about how to update your TV's firmware.
If available, try using a different HDMI to HDMI cable, such as an Apple HDMI to HDMI cable, directly between your Apple TV (2nd generation) and 720p HDCP-compatible HDTV.

Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels

Why does my Apple TV have to frequently reactivate some channels, such as HBO Go and PBS and several others that I know were already activated.

Maybe a software update reset something, maybe the broadcasters require this at intervals, could someone have logged/signed out? Sorry don't get those channels in UK, but once Netflix made me log in again, others seem ok.
You could send some feedback if this happens very often:

Why does my Apple Mobile Device Support not uninstall?

Why does my Apple Mobile Device Support not uninstall from the Control Panel? It appears that my unsuccessful iTunes install requires that I clean up ALL Apple software,before trying again.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Why does every Apple update require a restart?

I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.
