    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.

    This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • Just upgraded to lion and now my iTunes says the store is temporarily unavailable and it is unable to check for downloads

    I only upgraded to Lion because of iCloud. I have an AppleTV, an iPhone 4S and my MacBook Pro so it just made sense.  But now, I was in the process of downloading a season of a TV show that I purchased earlier today and it still had about 15 episodes left to go and it now says "iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable, iTunes is unable to check for downloads" Any help would be appreciated!

    maybe they are doing maintenance?  I would wait awhile and check back later.

  • Apple TV: unable to check for downloads

    I have rented movies on my Apple TV before, but when I tried to rent a movie recently on Apple TV I couldn't get it to work. I went through all the steps but it didn't start downloading. And when I went to check for downloads, this message came up, "unable to check for downloads". Everything else works perfect, so I have no idea why this is happening. Anyone have any thought on this?

    Ha! That must be a popular movie, because we're trying to rent Shaun of the Dead over here as well. Same symptoms as everyone else is reporting, D.C. Metro area. I've rebooted the device, disconnected and reconfigured the WLAN settings, logged out and back into iTunes Store, and nothing fixes it. Still getting "Unable to check for downloads" when I do what the device tells me to do.
    Argh. How's about a bit of that famous "Customer Service," Apple?

  • HT1600 why does the apple TV say theres no connection when I have it?

    Why does my apple TV want to recognize my internet password? and what does -39092 mean?

    Hi MLFO!
    I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:

    Why will my Apple TV (1st gen) not allow me to play some movies even though they were purchased in the iTunes store?  I have sync'd the movies to my Apple TV and there is plenty of room on the drive.  I get the error message that says this movie is not authoriezed for play on the Apple TV.  Thanks.  Ron

    Have you purchased anything on the Apple TV recently, next time you make a purchase, try making it on the Apple TV.

    You should have received a code and a link to where to download it from. If you haven't then contact Apple Custoer Support. Lion does not come on a disk.

  • Why does my apple id say I can not download an app downloaded by an family member?

    Today I tried to download an app one of my family members on family share has but leaves this message "This re-download is not avaliable for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." One of my family got the Zedge app, and it was free...   Can someone please explain what to do so I can get the app?  Otherwise I can not get it at all.  Thanks :)

    You will need to take this up with Apple - we are just users here, so we cannot help with such questions. If this is your iTunes account, then I'd start here:

  • Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

    I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

    hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
    there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

  • Why does the Apple password banner pop up all the time for me now? It happens every 2 or 3 minutes.

    For the past couple weeks whenever I am using my phone the banner that pops up for you to type in your password pops up on the screen. It happens everytime I am using the phone, many times a day. Not sure if this is a bug or possible a hack.? I was thinking of resetting the phone but don't want to deal with the hassle and my mind worrying about losing information and media. Thoughts?
    Thanks

    I looked into both these ideas. I was signed in and then signe out and signed back in, didn't fix it. All apps are looking like they are not updating, and all apps are said to be up to date when visiting the app store.
