Why won't my Apple TV turn off (for long)

I turn off my apple tv's (one 720p and one 1080p, but at some point for an unknown reason they turn back on. The power lights seem to always be on .  To the  est of my knowledge I don't have any other remotes that control them.
Can someone tell me why this is happening and whether there is a solution.  Will it hurt anything if I just forget about them and let them run, or should they be kept off when not in use?
Thank you

They turn back on (from sleeping) for brief periods to advertise their availability on the network - bonjour services. This then allows you to select them as a device even if they are sleeping... in which case they'll then wake up.

  • HT201401 why won't my 4S phone turn off.

    after going through the shutdown process the screen on my phone blacks out as usual but then restarts, why???

    Try this...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Why does javascript need to be turned off for site to work?

    When javascript is enabled I cannot add items to my cart. The mouse pointer changes to a hand, button changes color, clicking does nothing. When it is disabled, I can add items that do not require a color or size choice. Cookies are enabled. This site works fine with a previous version of Firefox

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

    Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

    I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.

  • Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have

    Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have to click on OK EVERY TIME I open the program when I'm away from wifi.

    That is how it works in general, not just for Numbers. It irritates me on other apps at times, although I can see an argument that if it didn't do that then people would complain about missing functionality after they forgot they had turned data off for an app. At any rate, this is a user to user support forum and we can't do anything about it. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, following is a place to do that: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT1222 Why won't my apple password word on iOS update

    Why won' t my apple password work to sign in iOS update

    The passcode you need to enter is not your Apple password. It is the four digit passcode you enter when turning on your iPad or waking it from sleep after an AutoLock. If you forgot your passcode you'll have to restore the iPad in iTunes.

  • My Apple Tv turn off automaticaly... how to turn the apple tv?

    My Apple Tv turn off automaticaly after up grade the version... how to turn on or restart the apple tv?

    I think you are referring to "sleep". Apparently upgrade "knows better" what you want and overwrites your settings. This common with arrogant programmers who do not test their software properly.
    If you ar referring to "sleep" then please go to Settings->General->Sleep After and change to "Never" or any number of hours available.
