HT200197 my apple tv indicator light is blinking rapidly.

I have disconnected and reconnected everything.  Still no change.  Any ideas?
My Wifi is working.  My Apple TV is updated (last one available)
The TV screen shows an image of a USB cable pointing to an iTunes image .. but I can't DO anything!

I was finally able to determine my generation and do a restore.  Hoping that solves it.

  • My Apple tv status light is blinking fast - how do I troubleshoot?

    my Apple TV gen 2 status light is blinking fast and I am not able to see anything from my Apple TV - how do I troubleshoot?  What I read on the Apple site is that my Apple TV has issues.  My Apple TV is hard wired to my Ethernet network.  It is connected to my TV using an HDMI cable.  It worked in the past but when I turned it on today it did not work.  I have not used it in several months and we had a bad thunderstorm here a couple weeks ago.

    I'm having the same problems as you. Any solutions? This is what i'm facing
    1. No video signal at all
    2. Plugged in power cable only, there is no light
    3. Plugged in micro usb, there is flashing light
    4. Restore via iTunes is sucessful but problem still persists

  • I have Apple TV, the light is blinking slowly and the screen doesn't move past the apple symbol. How do I fix this?

    I've tried shutting it off, unplugging the device but nothing works.

    I miswrote. I meant "how do you connect it to the computer?" Sorry. In any event, the posts here indicate that it will for now be a waste of my time to try the time-consuming fixes that have fixed things for nobody.

  • Apple TV status light blinking white

    My apple TV status light is blinking white and the TV gets no signal.  I have re-booted the apple tv and it gives me the sign to plug it into iTunes.  I cannot do that as it has no USB connection so I am bit lost.  I also have no idea how to tell which  generation Apple TV I have.  I have had it for a few years and finally had a reason to use it.  I am pretty sure it is a 2G, but I am not sure.  It worked when I initially set it up for a few minutes then required a software upgrade and everything went downhill after that.  Any suggestions?  Is it garbage?

    I cannot do that as it has no USB connection     
    Yes it does.  Its on the back.
    The upgrade process failed for some reason.  It just needs to be connected to iTunes via a USB cable so iTunes can manually install the firmware.

  • When I plug in apple tv the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen

    When I plug in my apple tv (first gen) the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen.  The status light never turns white and won't stops blinking amber.  I've tried to over ride this with the remote, resetting it and trying to revert it to the factory settings.  Is there a way to wake it up or is it a lost cause?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The system looks like it's unable to start up, this could be software but more likely hardware, either way unless it will start up there is nothing a user can do to resolve this.

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

  • HT1551 Apple TV Box light blinks rapidly and continously.  What's the problem?

    TThe light on my Apple TV blinks rapidly and continously and does not respond to the remote. What's the problem?

    You'll need to use a micro USB cable. If you don't have one you can get one at most electronics store. If you have a gen 2 you'll need to disconnect everything from the Apple TV then hook up the cable and connect to iTunes.

  • HT5706 my apple tv light is blinking fast and telling me to hook it up to itunes

    apple tv light is blinking fast and telling me to hook it up to itunes. is there any other way to fix this?

    No.
    You could take it to an Apple store for them to do it.

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

  • Why won't my Apple keyboard pair with my Macbook Pro?  Everything's discoverable...the light is blinking...the Macbook pro picks up other bluetooth...It's not paired with anything else?

    Hello,
    My wireless keyboard was paired with my iPad for a while, with no problem. Today I've unpaired it and tried to add it to my MBP (which I've done plenty of times in the past with sucess) but it's just not discovering it today.
    Bluetooth is on, my laptop is discoverable
    The MBP is picking up my phone, the iPad can see the MBP
    The keyboard is turned on and blinking
    Whether I try to 'set up new bluetooth keyboard' from Sys Preferences or 'set up bluetooth device' from Bluetooth menu, nothing happens.
    Any ideas?
    I've tried removing batteries, retarting the laptop..... Why should I try next?
    Thanks in advance everyone

    1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth on the device.
    2. Hold Power button of your keyboard until the light stops blinking.
    3. On the Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard.
    4. Turn on the keyboard. If it doesn't connect to the Mac, press any key of the wireless keyboard.
    5. When the keyboard appears on your Mac, choose Continue
