[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1780459, member: 54225"] Hello. Time for report. Downloading the file went perfectly. I used Handbrake to convert it into what they call Fast720p30 (720 px, 30 frames/sec) to make it as good as I could. Then I was stuck. I could load it on my iTunes library on the mac, but the path stopped cold there. I could view the film from the mac to the TV set with a minidisplay port cable to HDMI, but I do not have such a cable. On the Discussions.apple.com, it was said that Apple had abandoned (means "removed") support to the Apple TV 1st generation in iTunes in its High Sierra update. This statement was contradicted by the Apple paper dated 13 december which Jake and Slydude had found and suggested. So I called Apple assistance, always helpful from their Dublin location. She confirmed that the forum is essentially correct and the Apple page dated 13 december is a probable Apple mistake on which she will report. She confirming receiving many phone calls similar to mine. Her information cannot be doubted. The old iTunes recognized the Apple TV 1st generation. The associated block of software has been removed by Apple from the iTunes software, which no longer recognises the Apple TV 1st generation. Summing up, the Apple TV 1st generation has been silently abandoned by Apple in its most recent release of iTunes, without telling anybody.
