Apple tv - apple icon loop

Hi, 3rd Gen Apple TV.
This morning it was switched on and had the usb cable to itunes screen.
Did that, it came up on itunes. Ejected, back to tv, same screen. Rebooted, tried cable network.
Restored it - now have apple icon screen in a loop.
Light on the front flashes, if I hold down centre button it goes solid. If I hold down any other button the light disappears.
And suggestions?

there are times when the only cure is for people to connect it by usb to the computer and restore the software in the appletv

HT201343 My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found

My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found. So cannot use mirroring.
I have follow trouble shooting , they recommend to go system preference -> display , thus can find out the mirroring icon if no mean it doesnt support. But according to the web, Early 2011 MBP should be able to use, dunno why.

Just realise I havent updated my OS to mountain lion and this is the reason why I cannot use mirroring before ^^
Thanks all

Just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it goes straight into the itunes store and so i can only access the music i have bought from itunes not the music i have stored in itunes on my computer

i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.

The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

I see 10.6.3 in your profile---is tthat what you are trying to load? If so, it won't work. No PowerPC Mac like your G5 can run a Mac OS version higher than 10.5.8

Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)

Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)
-I've already replaced my old 60 GB Ipod in exchange for an 80GB, I bring it home, sync it up with Itunes v7.02 and everything works fine for a while. Not even 24 hours later I go down into my artist/song directory to play a song, and it freezes again. I do the menu center key soft reboot a few times to bypass it and it works for awhile. I've tried looking for current updates for software on it, Restoring it, Resyncing and now It gets to the point everytime I unplug the ipod from charging I get back to the menu and try to play a song or video and it does nothing, it freezes everytime.
There has to be an explanation as to why my first one did it and why my new 80GB is doing it.
I've already ran a diagnosis on all the files in the ipod all of them come back clean.
Help me out.
If you know how to resolve this issue reply and/or email me
[email protected]

My ipod is having a similar problem. The black apple logo has been the only thing I see on my ipod. I went a step farther and held the select and play/pause button to get it into disk mode. Once I am here I cannot proceed. I do not have computer that I hook it up to and have transferred the desired songs from an ex-girlfriends computer which I do not have access. What can I do once I have it in disk mode if I do not have a computer available?

When I switch on, the Apple and progress icons appear but it does not start.

When I switch on, the Apple and progress icons appear but it does not start. I tried resetting PRAM, Utilities, everything. It says the system is OK. I even reinstalled Tiger, but nothing has changed.

Given that you were able to reinstall the OS, you must be able to boot from the install disc.
Have you run Apple Hardware Test?
Tried running on just one RAM module, then switch it to other slot, then repeat with other module?
Safe Boot?
Checked SMART status?
Run Repair Disk:Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down ckey and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at firstscreen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menuin the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on theleft side> click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at leasttwice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If thatdoesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if thedirectory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or youmay have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directorystructure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quitthe installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications >Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Error loading part of Apple and Apple Start webpage

I noticed an error in window activity when loading either Apple or Apple Start page. Anyone else see that?

Try maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Go to ~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If you search using Google try clearing the Google history.
1. Go to the Safari Menu
2. Select Preferences
3. Select Autofill tab
4. Select the Edit button from the Other Forms Line
5. From the AutoFill list of sites select Google.com
6. Select Remove
7. Select Done
Relaunch Safari...
If that doesn't help, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

I just got this message and sent it to [email protected] per instructions on another post. the link leads to a page asking for Apple id and credit card information.

I got a similar email. It's obviously Spam. The double period afetr the first sentence and the otherwise poor grammar are dead giveaways even before I checked out the link embedded. -- I didn't click on it, just hovered over it to get the url. And the return address was [email protected] Very bogus.

You need to grab a micro usb cable and restore via iTunes

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Thanks.

Without the previous user's ID and password, or getting him to remove the phone from his list of devices, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for this and certainly where individuals are concerned Apple cannot help.
I have seen a suggestion that Apple may be willing to do this in a corporate situation like the one you are in, but I've seen no confirmation of this. You have nothing to lose by contacting Apple and asking, but don't be surprised if you are told it can't be done. This is a security device and if it was possible to bypass it there would be no point in having it in the first place.

Strange Issues with Apple TV & Apple iPhone when using iPhoto?

Im not sure if this is the right forum but since iPhoto seems to be the only missing link to my problem - I hope someone can help me out.
First let me explain my situation in great detail so I dont steer anyone in the wrong direction.
Of course everything works perfect if you only use the internal Hard Drive in my iMac. In other words, using iPhoto to create albums and slideshows worked flawless. Apple TV & Apple iPhone synced what I needed perfectly.
I then decided to get a 500G External Hard Drive to hold all my pictures and music. Everything changed!!
I followed the instructions on Apple's Support Web Documents. It appears that everything has moved over nice and smooth. I say that because when I open the Macintosh HD (OEM Internal) there are no movies or photos to be found on that drive any more.
It also appears that iPhoto has no issues itself. In other words, it finds all my photos (on the external 500G drive) displays them perfectly. I can create albums and slide shows as well.
The problem comes from Apple TV and Apple iPhone NOT seeing any more photos or slide shows. I figured that I must have to "point" Apple TV & iPhone (which in reality is iTunes) to a "new" location since its all been moved from the OEM Internal HD.
Now in iTunes, in the "photos" tab, I choose a new folder (instead of iPhoto) and browse the the External 500G HD, select the "iPhoto Library" folder and then iTunes now can see all 2,281 photos!!
Problem is that I dont want to sync ALL my photos just some of the Albums I created. iTunes doesn't see ANY albums or slideshows.
Since I created those albums before I moved the library - I figured I might have to delete all the albums/slide shows and make new ones while the data is all on the External 500G HD.
No such luck. Its like any albums I now create work fine INSIDE iPhoto but Apple TV and iPhone just see ALL my photos and NOT any albums I create inside iPhoto.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
The file structure in the iPhoto Library folder is very confusing. I have a total of 2,281 photos. 1,028 of them are in a folder called "Data" & the other 1,028 photos are in a folder called "Original". Both folders have a bunch of years inside them with my photos scattered all over the place.
I dont see my "Albums" anywhere inside these folders.
Now if I create my own folder inside the "iPhoto Library" folder - iTunes and iPhone will pick up on that folder I created!!
In essence, I have to open up iPhoto - then drag photos to my "new folder" I created in order for iTunes to see them.
Im I on the right track here? I didnt have to do any of this when I just used my Internal OEM HD.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks for your help.
John

Do you have ignore ownership selected for the external drive like this.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My IPod touch got stolen and I can't remember Apple ID/ Apple ID password to be able to track it.

My IPod touch got stolen today while on vacation and I can't remember my Apple ID/Apple ID password, which I need to be able to track it. I know my email associated with my Apple ID so I got the password reset link sent to my email but when I click on it, it sends me to a blank page every time. I've tried this on a computer, iPad, and iPhone, and have even called in and gotten tech support yet no luck...any suggestions on what I should do!?!?!? (I'm on my sister's Apple ID and iPhone right now) thanks!!!

unless you have the find my iphone app enabled and the wifi was enabled when the ipod was stolen there is nothing more you can do i'm sorry that your ipod was stolen while you rwere on vacation but that is all that can be done

Aperture 3: After sending my book for printing to Apple the Apple Store told me that my text and the background have the same color and they couldn't print the book. But I couldn't find any problem in the preview. How could I find the problem pages?

But I couldn't find any problem in the preview. How could I find the pages where the problems are? Or otherwise, why doesn't print Apple the book how it is. Idon't need the text which couldn'be seen.

The forum is for Logic Pro users.. I will ask the moderators to move it to a more appropriate forum for your question/subject
