Apple TV Menu Icons Show Up Over Video PLaying

Menu icons keep showing up over video I am playing. I have restarted and that will fix it for a while, but it keeps coming back.

I’ve been having the same issue’s [AirPlay / HomeSharing notworking or working intermittently] after some digging and testing I found that this worked…please note I made the change 1 hour ago and things are still working.
Steps to Fix:
Login to the Router
Select Wireless settings
Change the “Wireless Mode” change it to 11G only. [Default is mixed mode]
Power off your computer[s], Apple TV and all other connecteddevices [wireless/wired].
Unplug the power on your router and wait 20 seconds…then plug itback in.
Once the router is full started up [5 min]…now turn on all youconnected devices such as computer[s], Apple TV and all other connected devices[wireless/wired]
You should now be able to access Airplay as well as HomeSharing.

Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

Apple TV menu showing over now playing screen

My Apple TV menu stays showing over the top of the movie/TV show/music video etc that is selected to play? I can't work out how to make it disappear and can't find any other similar issues in the community - thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Cannot get to Apple TV menu

WWhen I turn on Apple TV, my television blinks "no signal". I have checked my connections and I am connected to my wireless signal. I've unplugged Apple TV and plugged in again. Now the television screen goes "no signal" to Apple picture" to no signal, and keeps doing this. Yet I cannot get the Apple TV menu to show up. What do I try next?

Sounds like it's run into a firmware problem.

I have tried to download bust a marble. the icon shows up but the game won't run.

I have downloaded "bust a marble" from the apple apps; the icon shows up but the game will not load or play.

You should try restarting your iPod by holding the lock button until a "slide to power off" bar appears at the top, slide then trun it back on by holding the lock button until the apple logo appears. If this doesn't work then try to download it on iTunes and then sync it to your iPod.
Hope this helps

Buttons over video is crashing Apple DVD player!

I have 4 menus (tracks) that use buttons over video. The first one plays just fine- the buttons come up after a second & disappear 30 seconds later(then the menu continues into a film). The other 3 menus crash 1-2 seconds before the buttons over video forces the subtitle to become visible. here's what i've done to troubleshoot:
-set a different menu to be first play
-swapped out the m2v/ac3 files to see if that was causing the issue
-moved my menus/tracks to different VTSs (using dvdsp 4)
-shifted the hi-lite markers forward and back to various times
-swapped out the overlay file
All my tracks were created exactly the same- using the same BOV structure (13 buttons in all)... I'm completely baffled. One works fine and the rest don't work at all!!
p.s. i burned the disc and tested it on a regular dvd player.. seems to work fine, but it still crashes on the computer.
PowermacG4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) DVD Studio Pro 4

I figured out the problem so I'll wrap up the thread in case someone else runs into this problem...
I was using dvdSP's ability to "offset" the overlay file in order to make my highlights match up perfectly. For some reason if the offset differs from one overlay to the next in the same subtitle stream, it causes apple dvd player to crash.
example:
(all motion menus were created on one track with BOV & then separated into stories for easy targeting)
subtile(BOV) 1 had an overlay file offset to 0x & -4y & subtitle(BOV)2, my second menu, had an overlay file offset to 3x & -1y.
The first one would play fine, but as soon as apple dvd player detected the next subtitle it would crash. I solved the problem by editing my overlay files in photoshop to compensate for the offsets & leaving the offset in DVDSP untouched. weird... but it works now.

Apple TV Menu missing TV Shows & Music options

Just set up my new Apple TV which I'm using in conjunction with OSX 10.6.8 / iTunes 10.5, and the menu screen only shows the Movie, Internet, Computers & Settings options, no sign of TV Shows or Music. I have Home Sharing selected in iTunes and can stream music and video from both my Mac and iPhone, but can't seem to access my library from the Apple TV menu. Why? Thanks.

Like DougMcLean, same thing happened to me. With every other version of iOS in my AppleTV 2, I had YouTube, Radio etc items in the menu. Now after updating to the latest version everything is gone except for Computers and Settings. FYI, I am in Malaysia where the AppleTV is not sold. I got mine in Oz.
I tried Settings to see if this is simply a setup issue, but there is nothing that I can see that relates to this problem.
I have not tried studiogalatea's solution. By pulling the plug, do you mean that I simply remove power?
Still I wonder what Apple is doing? Even if I am not able to buy movies in Malaysia (I guess its because of IP rights and piracy) I don't see why Apple has to cripple the device and only allow me to share my computer's content and nothing else! This is quite ridiculous. I can view anything on YouTube, Internet Radio etc on my computer anyway, since these sites do not prevent anyone in the world from viewing. So has Apple become everyone's conscience?

No TV Shows Option In Video Menu plz help

Hi, so I just got my first Apple product today. (30gig Black Video)
I love it so far.
Only thing I'm having trouble with the TV Shows option.
It does not show up after Syncing my IPOD
I have set a couple videos to be marked as TV Shows but when I do so I cannot see them due to TV Shows not being an option in my video menu section.
When I mark the videos as movies they show up fine in that section.
Also, even though they don't show up when marked as TV Shows they due show up in Video Playlists->Recently Added.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks

I really had a feeling it was something along those lines.
A few quick questions to clear the rest up:
If I use a metatag editor, will that allow my private videos to display under the TV shows Area?
If I purchase a TV Show from itunes and it allows the TV Shows menu to show up, will other videos AT THAT POINT be viewable under TV shows if marked as such?

"Music Videos" under "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu is missing.

I no longer seem to have "Music Videos" under the "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu. This occurred about a month ago now (early October). Does anyone know why? I have worked with Apple Support and I have reset my device to factory settings to no avail...
I actually used this menu option often but I might have been the only person who did since I cannot find any information on it nor does anyone seem to know it even existed:)... I am more curious to find out what has happended now than expecting a fix for it.
I have had a rough couple months with my Apple products actually...:(
Thanks for taking the time to review.
Regards,
Roger Delorme.

Having the same issues.....I have two 1st Gen Apple TVs and neither are showing on the Remote App on any of my devices as of Dec 24th. Everything is connected to the same network, have most recent updates to Remote App, software of devices, itunes. Rebooted router, computer, apple tvs....deleted the app, reinstalled...turned off wifi and homesharing, then turned back on and the Remote App will only find my itunes library and not the Apple TVs. Any help would be appreciated.

Youtube suggested videos are showing over the video playing??

When i go to youtube, i can't see the video playing properly and can't see the quality settings icon for the youtube suggested videos are showing over the video playing. Really annoying, i have to double click to fullscreen to change the quality settings. How do i fix this?

These installations and settings work for me:
How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Apple TV menu shows only "Computers" app and "Settings" app?

We have ATV 2nd generation and it has worked very well until recently. We didn't use it for about a month or so and when we went to use it the other day, it turns on fine but our menu screen shows only 2 apps "Computers" and "Settings". No movies, tv shows, Netflix, MLB, nothing. When we click on the "Computers" app it asks to turn on Home Sharing. When I try to enter apple id and password through ATV it tells me that the id and/or password are incorrect. They aren't! Home Sharing is on when I check iTunes on the computer. In the "Settings" app I have tried restarting and resetting the ATV. It doesn't work. We are also unable to connect to iTunes from ATV. I enter the id and password and I get a message the iTunes is unavailable and to try again later. VERY FRUSTRATED! Has anyone had these issues??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    4.    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

Hi..
Make sure you are signed into the App Store before updating. And yes, updates are free.
From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In
Then click Updates at the top of the App Store window.
