  • 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 camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

    Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

    If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

  • Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
    So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests.

  • Why does a specific website say validating and doesn't open the site for me?

    why does a specific website say validating and doesnt open the site?

    My Safari also has a hiccup. My ISP (comcast) helped me by suggesting I try the same task using a different browser (firefox). I had both installed, and firefox completed the task smoothly with no issues. I was told the problem was on my end and my safari browser was most likely flawed. I cannot find the procedure to uninstall & reinstall the Safari app. My iMac came with 2 discs (os & bundled apps) But the ability to choose Safari only, for this task remains illusive. Any suggestions or fixes to repair a glitch infected Safari will be appreciated.
