Apple TV flashed off and on

Yesterday, when I set up my new out of the box Apple TV, it seemed to work fine. Seemless set up, I was able to stream my itunes from my conputer. Now tonight, the unit flashes off and on when I started it up. What should I do?

I have 2 Apple TV's one works fine on 4.1.1 software. The other I updated and now any of my video files that have 6 channels of audio, play no sound. And All the movie categories are appearing all wrong. In comparison the other apple tv still plays the audio fine and the categories appear normal.
Is anyone having this issue, if your not streaming video files from you peronal library with multi channel audio, you might not know you have a problem. My simple 2 channel audio files play fine.

I have basically dropped my iphone so many times that it is now not working
I bought it in the UK but I am now living in the US - It is our of warrenty

I am happy to repair all of this myself however my phone wont start
It does power but only has tthe flashing apple logo (as it wont start I also cant sync it)
any help would be good
I would take it to an apple store but not sure how it works with being a UK phone

While the Apple warranty for the iPhone is not international, you mention the phone is out of warranty. There is always the chance they will take it and allow you to make an Out of Warranty replacement. That is $149US for all but the 4S which is $199. They will do the OOW swap for the same model, color and size of iPhone that you bring in. It is worth a shot!

When i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. how can i stop it and turn on my ipod??????

when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple symbol flashing on and off

Phone won't turn on and apple symbol flashing on and off

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. Restore with your backup.
5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it. (Try DFU Mode)
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Ipod classic try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.

Ipod classic I try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
I can't reset and it doesn't show it charging. Not recognized by computer.
It was working just fine in my car, I stopped for an hour, and when I came back it just started the flashing thing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset it this way.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If it is still not working.
Then Restore it using iTunes
Good Luck!

Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start. Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help,

Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start. Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!

I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

Hard Drive icon won't open and menu bar flashes off and on

All of a sudden, in the middle of the day, my eMac went haywire. I can launch apps and docs are one the desktop. But I cannot open the Hard Drive icon. If I double-click on it (or used Command-O from keyboard), the icon won't open. And when I attempt to open it, the Finder Menu Bar begins flashing off and on (vanishing, reappearing, vanishing) across the top of the screen. I haver rebooted, run disk utility to repair permissions, even booted from TechTools to run its diagnostics. But still no access to the Hard Drive icon. I logged out and logged in as a TEST user, and same thing happens even when logged in that way. Literally, this happened in an instant. One minute the eMac was fine, then this started. Anyone else seen this? -- david

If the problem exists in both your regular account and your Test account odds are that it is at the system level. You can try a Safe boot (hold down the shift key at startup) to see if there is a third party startup item or one of the optional Apple functions that is causing the problem. You could also boot from the installer disk and use the Disk Utility->Repair Disk function. If you have a utility such as Tiger Cache Cleaner which will do a deep cache clean you can also try that.

Monitor is flashing off and on

I just started up my computer this morning and my monitor (30"cinema) was flashing off and on. I have my Cinema preference setting to "turn the display on and off". I managed to keep it on long enough to change to "does nothing" so it stays on, but I really need that functionality for rendering overnight and not leaving the display on.
I checked the button and nothing is blocking it. Could it really just burn out if I never actually use it more than maybe 10 times? Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
thanks,
Dave

Sometimes just unplugging the display from power and the computer for a few minutes will fix things.

HT1481 Ipod nano flashes off and on and will not reset.

This has been such a mess. This was a Christmas present and I can't get it to work. How do I get this to work?!!! This is my first Apple product and I am not happy. The Ipod nano just flashes off and on. I have downloaded itunes but nothing has happened; it just flashes off and on with the Apple symbol on the screen. How do I fix this?!!

Hello janicon,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano. I would be concerned and frustrated with this as well.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Will not turn on or screen remains dark" and "Screen is unresponsive and displays Apple logo or white screen" in the following article. If you are also not seeing your iPod in iTunes when your have your iPod connected, I recommend the section titled "iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer."

Why are my icons flashing off and on?

My I icons flash off and come back is about a second. This repeats about every minute as if it is stuck in a loop.

Well, I too had a case of the "flashing icons" beginning a week after downloading Maverick. Flashed about every 1-2 minutes. I asked Mac support about this through a "chat" and received about 2 pages of tutorial info from them that was so loaded with "geek speak" and tech terms, I was about to throw myself over the railing of my 2 story apartment. At 63, there was no way I could follow this "stuff" without probably destroying my MAC and tearing out what little hair I have left.
None of it mentioned playing with Google by the way.
One option was simple however: Re-download Maverick and see if that does it. Frankly, I like the practical ideas. So I went back to the App Store and re-downloaded Maverick last night, and all is fine. No sluggishness, not that I had any to begin with, no loss of data, no nothin'! Just smooth sailing. Give it a try.....there's nothing to lose.

HELP! Mac G4 Finder flashes off and on, files close

My sturdy mac G4 running OSX 10.4.11 has developed a weird thing where the finder flashes off and on, the files flash off all together as if someone was resetting the finder. I ran disk warrior and utilities but still doing the same thing. Any suggestions? Never had virus. Whaats up?

Hi greenteam, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It's likely some 3rd Party APP that got broken by the recent QT or Security update.
Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
