maltloaf Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 you will need a standard TV for this (with a composite connection) I have been battling with a black screen for a little while now when i boot into osx, sometimes it'll wake after 20 mins, sometimes not at all, but I have found a way to wake it immediately and I just thought id share. Connect a single RCA cable from the Green component output to your tv sets composite input (usually yellow) Boot osx as normal and you should see a poor monochrome image on your tv. Click the blue apple and select 'Sleep' The machine and display will go to sleep Now, disconnect your rca and connect your hdmi / dvi / whatever Press a key on your keyboard to wake the system. Your dvi should now wake and display perfectly. I have a standard TV right next to my DVI monitor so this is no problem for me, but would be a pain for those of you without such a setup, but i thought i'd share anyway. Now we just need analogue sound from the RCA's working cheers, malty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xShad0w Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I haven't tried this yet but I'm going to give it a shot, my composite always gives a low resolution monochrome color, but when i connected it to hdmi it does become black exactly as you have stated, Do you think you can write a script so that the appletv wakes up holding the menu button on the remote or something much appreciated though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
