Apple TV 2.2 Finally Works

Okay I've done it Everyone. I just did the factory restore. updated, and it appeared it was back in the infinite loop. Luckily my TV has Picture in Picture so I just let it do its thing for 15 or so minutes. I noticed it was up and running afterwards. Works like a champ with verision 2.2
Best of luck. Apple is the Sh*t. Okay maybe not but they're cooler than microsoft butts&*t

My atv bricked on the upgrade. I did the factory restore back to 1.0 and upgraded to 2.2. By accident, I hit the menu key during the mosaic and the 2.2 menu came up. Seems to be working now. I do not plan on rebooting or trying standby until the real problem is resolved.

  • New external hard drive froze while transferring info to new computer. Laptop does not read external hard drive. Went to Apple store and didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Day 1. Went to Apple store because iMovie was not working. It kept shutting down. Prior to going to the store, I called Apple Support and deleted and reinstalled iMovie. Still did not work. Then I went to the Apple Store. After an hour it finally worked but when I got home, it didn't work AND my iPhoto application was missing. Tried to back up on external hard drive but it didnt work.
    Day 2. Explained the situation again to Apple employee at Apple Store. I bought an external hard drive that employee recommended and picked out. I went home and backed up my computer on the external HD.
    Day 3 (morning). Went back to Apple. Employee verified that my hard drive was backed up successfully. All my photos, music, and documents were successfully backed up. He was going to reinstall the operating system. He did that successfully. He showed me how to install the external HD info to the laptop. I went home and followed the directions. It was going to take about 2 hours. I kept monitoring the progress and everything looked good until....30 minutes remained. 30 minutes remained for a good 20 minutes. The ext hard drive stopped responding. I tried to canel but there were no buttons to push. I exited the program. I called apple support and they tried to walk me through it. My computer still was not recognizing that the exteranl HD was plugged in. I mad another trip to the Apple store and the emplyee confirmed that the extranal HD was not reading. He tried plugging it in to his computer and it still wasnt reading.
    He did give me a data recovery number to call. I asked if Apple would cover the cost and he said no. I called then and was quoted $700-$2000 to recover the data.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? When frustrates me more is that I followed every instruction and I did exactly what Apple told me to do. Now, ALL of my data is lost and Apple does not want to help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I need help. =*(

    Hi rkaufmann--
    Thanks for the response.  I can say with confidence that that is not the issue.  I have at least 8 of these same WD external portable drives that are powered through their USB 3.0 cables, and I have never had problems with any of them.  Sometimes I connect them directly to my computer, and sometimes I use a powered hub.  Either way they work fine.  The drives with their own power source do not suit my needs.
    My question is specifically whether anyone has seen an issue where sometimes they plug a drive in and it is not recognized but then it continues to work.  In other words, the question I'm posing to other users is whether it sometimes happens that they connect a drive and it simply doesn't show up, but then they disconnect and reconnect and it goes on working fine as it should.

  • Need help: Apple TV / iPad airplay did work, but now does only partially.

    Until today, my iPad and iPod Touch have worked flawlessly with my Apple TV.  I've made no changes to any device or network settings, but now my iPad won't mirror or even play sound through my TV setup.   Strangely, my iPod still can.  Also, both devices can still control the Apple TV itself using the remote app.
    What happens is that the toggle. Switch flips back from Apple TV to IPad almost instantly.  A couple times I was able to get the mirroring toggle to stick and actually show up on the TV for a few seconds, but it never lasts and it will not accept the audio even for that second (whatever is playing pauses).
    I've rebooted the iPad and that hasn't helped.
    Ideas?

    Update:  the iPod WAS working with AirPlay, but it turns out to be intermittent.  Three consecutive attempts now when trying it the same thing happens:  for a moment the airplay icon will display blue, then it hangs a few seconds, the icon turns white again and the audio pauses.  Wile typing this it finally worked on the fourth attempt.

  • Getting Apple's "Midi Network" to work

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro computer to work as a wonderful "slave computer". Basically, because I extensively use the "CPU & Memory hog" Kontakt/Kontakt Player programs, I purchased the new MacBook Pro to divide the work load. So far, it's proven to do this nicely! The MacBook Pro is a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB's of SDRAM running on Leopard 10.5.4. I have an external hard disk drive which houses all of the instrumental sound libraries. The external hard disk drive is connected to the MacBook Pro using an eSATA connector. The audio device used is a new MOTU 828 MK3.
    My older Mac Pro workstation is noted below. Please note that I have not upgraded the older Mac Pro workstation to Leopard YET. Although I do plan on upgrading the operating system, things are working quite fine using 10.4.11. I use M-Audio's Keystation Pro 88, connected to the older Mac Pro workstation, as the midi controller.
    The issue. . .
    I can't get the Apple Midi Network to work between the two Apple computers. They both seem to see each other, but midi information does not seem to be transferred between the two computers.
    At present, I have both networked via a NETGEAR 8 Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch. This is so that I can have access to the Internet. Now, I am able to transfer files between the two computers. Both computers seem to "see" each other using this network method.
    For the MacBook Pro, I am using a CAT6 ethernet cable. I think that this is also true for the older Mac Pro workstation.
    I believe that I am configuring the "Midi Network" function correctly. I can see it via the Logic Pro 8.02 program (in the Environment).
    Finally. . . I am able to use Music Lab's MidiOverLan CP3 between the two Apple computers!! This is solid! Why, though, am I NOT able to get Apple's "Midi Network" to work?? Am I misunderstanding its function?? Does it not work when one computer is operating under Leopard and the other (older) computer is using the older version?? Could it be the CAT 6 cables?? The NETGEAR switch??
    At present, I am happy using the MidiOverLan CP3 program to communicate midi information between the two computers. It would be nice to be able to correctly use Apple's own software, though. (Maybe it's user error??)
    Thank you in advance.

    Several months ago, I DID get this feature to work...And I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what I did. It took several attempts. I linked my intel and PPC mactogether.
    The problem was, there was too much of delay to make this a useful feature for realtime recording. I was trying to play a virtual instrument, that was a PPC plug-in while recording on a newer macpro..
    If you were willing to create 'scratch' tracks one computer, using native Logic plugins, until you had all the midi data right. and then wanted to port midi over to the 2nd computer, and create a more detailed sound to port back into your 2nd computer, it CAN be done. but like I said the delay was too much..(I couldn't get it to be a realtime feature)
    There was a 'delay adjustment' feature, in the midi, but I couldn't get that to be useful. If you have plug-ins that you absolutely can't live without, you can try this, but I found it to be too much trouble, and there were some computer lockups involved.

  • Yahoo Business Mail finally working again after 11 months

    Thanks to Safari 4.0.4 Yahoo Business Mail is finally working after breaking over 11 months ago because of an Apple update. I'm glad I don't have to switch to a different browser just to check my email anymore but having to wait a year for a bugfix that Apple themselves caused and refused to fix was really annoying.
    Original thread where this was reported last December

    There's no question in there, so why is this marked as a question? Further, not only in this message, but in many of your posts, you seem to be awfully fond of all caps. You need to be aware that this is a great way to ensure that people don't read your posts. Also, think a little more carefully about what you're going to write before posting... flow-of-consciousness is not the easiest to read, and thus is also a great way to get people to ignore your posts. Try to organize your writing better.
    I'm not trying to be insulting, but you do need to know that a post like this one gives a negative impression to the reader, and if you actually were asking a question, it reduces the chances of getting that question answered.

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

  • I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • Changing my apple ID name doesn't work

    Hi all,
    I have following problem which is quite annoying ... So, when I log in on the developer site, my first name is: ezfzsd (which I can't seem to find anywhere on my account)
    When I go to my my apple ID account my first and last name are filled in correctly. If I change both, my last name is edited (as it should be) but my
    the word 'ezfzsd' doesn't change at all. Whatever I do, it keeps displaying the wrong name.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be? Or how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    No idea what  "My apple ID account doesn't work on my itunes but it does on the web" means.
    Please explain

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • TS4268 what apple write here is now work for me. If anyone know how to activate imessage on iPhone 5 ios 7.1.1 please kindly share how?

    Since i upgarde my iPhone 5 to the latest ios 7.1.1, it doesn't work on iMessage. I've tried to follow the instruction posted by Apple but it still not work for me. It appear " iMessage unsuccessful activation" after i waiting for activation for a while. If anyone know how to get it successful please kindly share, HOW ?

    I should also add: There's no pending downloads in the iTunes store on my device or App store. There are some pending downloads linked to my account, but they have been there for quite a while and have never been a problem before. Additionally, if these apps WERE the issue, I figure they would've begun to download on my device after I succesfully typed my password in.

  • Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • Apple TV / Homeshare no longer working

    I've got a 2nd generation Apple TV which has been working perfectly well for nearly a year. It's got the 5.1.1. update.  iTunes has the 11.0 update and is on an iMac running OS X 10.7.5
    Since yesterday, whenever I go to the Computer menu, Apple TV keeps telling me that I need to switch Homeshare on in iTunes and won't progress beyond that. However Homeshare IS turned on in both iTunes and Apple TV. I cannot see my libraries for music/tv/film at all and it also says it cannot find my photostream. 
    I have all the latest software updates. I've tried switching homeshare off and back on again in both iTunes and Apple TV. I've tried rebooting both the Apple TV and my iMac and also rebooted my router for good measure. Nothing has worked.
    The only thing I can think of that has changed between Apple TV working perfectly and now not working at all is the upgrade of iTunes to 11.0 and looking over on the iTunes board there seems to be one **** of a lot of issues with homeshare.
    Where's Apple to comment on/fix this?  As it stands, my Apple TV is an ususable chunk of plastic.

    Thanks for the quick responses.
    I have pinged with speedtest several times when the download gets hung up. The results for my lowest result so far are download: 4.96 Mbps and upload 5.25 mbps
    I Have not checked signal strength and noise, I will look into that in a little bit.
    THis is problem has developed in the last few days. I have never experienced a problem before.
    I Have not experienced the same issue with movies I have purchased as I have with movies I have rented.
    thanks again for any assistance you can provide
