My Apple TV won't start. When turned on it shows an Apple TV box with a cord leading to but not connected to an iTunes icon

MMy Apple TV won't start. When turned on it shows an apple TV box with a cord leading to an iTunes icon. I have tried unplugging still get the same message. Our electricity was off a few days ago. Could the HDMI cord be bad?

It's not the HDMI cable.
If you had a power surge, your Apple TV probably just needs to be restored. That logo means you need to plug it into a computer with iTunes installed to restore the device to factory settings. You'll need a micro-USB cable to do so. Plug the usb into the apple tv in the micro-USB slot, then into the computer with iTunes already opened. A screen will appear in iTunes with a button to restore the device.
If you don't have the appropriate cable on hand you can make an appointment at an Apple Store and they'll restore it for you. Just go to locate.apple.com to find the closest location and make an appointment. Keep in mind if you can't or don't go to an Apple Store a private repair place may charge for this service.

ITunes Home Sharing with Apple TV2, works with one Win 7 PC but not with the other

Hopefully someone out there can help with this, I have gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures that Apple provides, and have spoke to thier 'fast track' technical services department and we cannot resolve this.
My probelm is that Apple TV does not recognize my Win7 PC that has itunes running in Home Sharing mode. In order to test my router, network configurationand the Apple TV, I put iTunes on a laptop on my network running Win7 as well, and the Apple TV had no problems sharing with that computer. I have opened all of the ports in my firewall that Apple recommended, and tried to make it work both with and without my anti-virus software, but still no sharing of iTunes with this computer. We are working with the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV, both updated today.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks

Yep - have had the same problem, especially since IOS5 came about and no solution has worked. I've fought this one for a while, I come back to it every once in a while when I see something that might be a new tack but no joy. I've also tried all that stuff, but none of them fix it.
I can tell you a couple of things I have found out along the way:
First off, there is some kind of issue with the Apple Mobile Service that causes it to not stay working. If you stop the service and start it you may be able to make the sharing show up for a bit, but it will eventually disappear.
Secondly, there may be a network routing factor to this too. Apple doesn't like to use the same kind of protocols as many sharing schemes do, instead preferring something known as "Bonjour". Bonjour uses multicast routing, and appears to either be programmed badly or in a non-standard way - or maybe there just is no standard. In any case what you find is that it just doesn't work, and there is no current fix.
Keep trying though, maybe you can figure it out. If you do, please come back and post what you did, I'd be very interested. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy, there are others out there having the same problem with the same bleak outlook. By the way, mine used to work until iOS5.

Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with rendering AE CC , with my new PC computer in Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit
As the title says , my issue is Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled. Actually it starts after 8 -30 seconds depending of project complexity and the rendering is slower and skipping frames !
12 cores with 2 GB ram each.
When I disable the option of multiple frames simultaneously render starts ok.
but it's really very sad that I can't use this beast of CPU in full potential. its an new intel i7 5930K , 32 Ram DDR4 2.4 Ghz
Any advice and options would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vonzar.
Setup:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
CPU : Intel Core i7 5930K 3.5 GHz Six Core Socket 2011-3 140W Box
GPU : nVidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB DDR5 PCI-E
RAM : 32GB DDR4 Non ECC CL16 2400MHz Crucial Ballistix Sport
Mother board : Asrock x99 extreme 6

If you have any render or preview problems just turn off MP because, first, it only works with certain specific effects and codecs, and 2, it causes more problems that it solves most of the time. I only turn on MP rendering when I know for sure that it will speed up my workflow.
You should have a multiple of 4 GB assigned to AE and Other apps and an even number of cores. If you are using MP rendering make sure that the number of actual cores used makes sense and that there are an even number of cores assigned to other applications. Most important of all, don't spend hours trying to tweak MP rendering to save a few seconds in a render. Follow these general guidelines and then run a short test to see if it works. If you project involves any temporal effects at all turn it off.
Here is an example of the MP settings for a 4 year old Mac Mini that actually work for some projects, but most of the time it is turned off.
I should say that I can allocate 3 GB of ram per background CPU and still see 2 as the actual CPU's that will be used but this little Mac Mini works better with 2 selected. Setting the RAM allocation to 4 GB drops Actual CPU's to 0
BTW, I use the mac mini to record most of my tutorials because I figure that if I do a tutorial that will run OK on a Mac Mini, then anyone with an adequate system should be able to follow along without any problems.

You have no chose but to restore your phone. What do you mean "lose everything"? Is your data/iTunes content not on your computer?

I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address. If it is, remove it. Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
If that fails...

what can be wrong?

I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!
