Amber and white blink - no screen

I experienced today a white and amber blink on my apple tv. I cant get any signal on my tv, or connection via the remote.
Tried to hold down - and menu for reboot + << and menu for pairing the remote but no connection.
How do I go aobout restore factory settings now?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Restore is achieved by holding down menu & - until the amber light starts blinking and then selecting 'restore'. You say you have tried this to no avail.
menu & + are for the video mode, is there any chance you have changed the video mode by mistake. (you need to use + & - to navigate the video modes once you have held down menu & + for 6 seconds.
If you are still unable to progress try pulling every cord out of the tv and leaving it 30 seconds before powering up again.
If non of these things work, take it back to .

That's hard to say.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Horizontal black and white lines on screen

I accidentally dropped my iPhone on my macbook track pad. It was about a 6" drop, nothing huge. But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv. The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself.
Should I be checking the hard drive or anything?

" But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv. The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself."
How's it been running since then? Possibly you hit it hard enough to put a voltage transient through the machine.
Hopefully the logic board wasn't damaged but do what Oglethorpe says and have Apple run an ASD on it.

Webdynpro on loading shows a black and white type of screen

Hi Gurus.
Don't know if anyone had this problem before.
Some of your webdynpros on running show a black & white type of screen with no background colors. Buttons are visible, but clicking on them nothing will happen. I don't know if you all understood what I am saying. Unfortunately I cannot attach screen shot
Basically the background becomes all white. No groups in blue color. No table lines.
It happens only intermittently, user refreshes, and it gets okay.
Anyone faced this problem before? If so, any solutions found for it?
Thanks in adv.

Hi Aishi,
the only other time I've seen something like this, has been when I've been messing around with the portal theme (in that particular case I was trying to apply the portal theme to a BSP which had been called dynamically in the app and was not therefore correctly picking up the theme .)
That said - the problem was never intermittent for me then - either it worked or it didn't!
I'd be trying to find a way in which you could replicate the issue, (potentially clear all the cookies local files etc from a user's machine) and then putting a program like HTTPWatch on to check if there were issues picking up any particular files in the user's request.
Cheers,
Chris

Iphone 4s less than year old att, want work, blue and white lines black screen

I have a iphone 4s with ATT, not even a year old. I dropped phone and now the screen is black with blue and white lines. I have attempted to reset the phone with no success. Is this a matter I can resolve with ATT or do I have to drive to genuis bar to get resolved?

It's probable that the iPhone has suffered hardware damage, and I don't believe an AT&T Store can do anything for you on such issues. You'll need to take or send your iPhone to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty service charge to get the iPhone replaced.
Regards.

Black spot and white stripe across screen

Okay well it's my brothers ipod, and I have no idea what the heck he did to it. But he left it on his dresser and woke up with the black spot and white stripe across the screen. After reading one of the posts, is it possibily moisture or water? But I have no idea how the black blotch thingy got there. Any ideas on what it is? And how I can fix it?

Computer boots to black and white Darwin/BSD Screen

My iMac is running 10.4.11. While trying to edit user permissions for local networking, I made a huge mistake. I started changing a permission and realized in the middle that I had messed up. I quickly reset the launcher, and then reset the computer. when the computer was rebooting, It went directly to the darwin screen (black background white letters). I found a thread that gave me hope but ultimately did not solve the problem.
Booting to Darwin/BSD Screen (this is the like to the entire thread)
every thing worked as the article said it would until the end...
"Start up in Single User Mode and type carefully:
/sbin/fsck -y
Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb/ local.nidb.bad
ls -ln /Users
This last command will give you one line for each user, plus one for the "Shared" directory, which doesn't interest us. Each user will have a line like one of these:
<pre>
drwxr-xr-x 20 501 501 680 Jul 16 14:32 D. A. Hankerson
drwx------ 8 501 80 272 Jul 17 19:18 D.A. Hankerson
</pre>The second numeric field (501, 500) is the user ID (UID) and you need to list the uids against the shortname s given in the final column. Make sure you get the name right for UID 501! Then continue with
reboot
When you restart, you should get the Setup Assistant, just as if it was a new machine. You will be prompted for all of your user information. Be careful to use the same short name as previously for user 501." kind of confusing where to retype the user short name... in darwin or setup assistant
I followed all the steps then completed the Setup Assistant and just when it looked like problem solved, I was still sent back to the darwin screen.
Following the setup assistant only made more user accounts. the setup also would not allow me to input "." and " " (periods and spaces) as the article says.
Please help!
*Green text represents information specific to my machine.

While in the B/W desktop go to the System/Accessability preference pane and check to see if this checkbox is selected:
If it isn't toggle it on and then off again and see if there's any change.

White blinking startup screen

When I shut down my iMac and restarted it gets past the apple logo then turns white and starts dimming and then getting brighter but will not go any further.
I tried to reboot in safe mode and it done the same thing.
I power cycled by unplugging the holding down the power button.
What is the problem? I've never had this happen before. Please help
I have nothing plugged into it but the power cord.

Can you boot into Recovery mode by holding down ⌘R? What had you been using to make backups? Time Machine or some other program?

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.

Dear all,suddenly my readerstarted to blink black and white pages for 2 hours. Hints to stop it?

I was reading the book. Suddenly the screen went black. After I tried all the buttons it started to blink black and white screed and it is doing it already for a couple of hours.
No reaction from any button.
Any hints how to stop it? Is it out of order forever?
Type Sony eReader PRS-T1.
Thank you in advance for any support.
N.

Don’t forget to recharge ebook reader device after.
The issue is due to:
-low battery
-and/or a problem with the ebook’s file (not perfectly compatible)
-and/or many “orders” (tap on screen, press buttons and probably low battery) while reader prepares a new page.
Nothing serious!!!

Black screen with white blinking cursor

White blinking screen X2-01

My nokia X2-01 suddenly flashed a white screen and started to blink. The phone would continue blinking until the battery is dead. I tried bringing it to a local repair shop (not nokia care) and they said that the phone needs to be formatted. After I got it, the phone was working again. After one week, the white blinking screen continued. We brought it to the same local repair shop. They said that the phone's software needed to be updated and said it costs 500 pesos. I hesitated because I know that it is free to update the phone. What I don't know is how they managed to update the phone's software if it is not turning on properly and the computer can't detect it.
I also tried removing the battery, memory card and sim card. Now the phone would not turn on at all. Please help.
Is this the real problem of my phone? How can I fix it. Thank you for answering.

Hi pleaseeeheeelp,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
We would strongly advise you to take your phone to an authorised Nokia Care point and let them have a look. This is because if you get your phone flashed at a random repair shop, they may install wrong or faulty firmware on it, causing further damage to the phone and voiding any existing warranty. Flashing and blinking screen may indicate that there is a hardware issue, one more reason to visit your local Nokia Care point.
Let us know how you get on,

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
