Apple TV changed battery screen shows setting time etc now it will not start

I had to change battery in remote (2nd gen apple TV) now it starts setting time etc screen is blank. I swithced it off waited 30 secs, no luck!!!!
I cannot go to menu as it does not allow me. Has anyone got any suggestions??

Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before (a reboot of the router maybe required).
I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
2. OS updates.
3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

HT4528 I have an IPhone5. The screen goes blue, then B & W snow, then makes a short hissing sound and shuts off. It did it 3-4 times and now it will not turn on. Should I try to have it serviced or replace it?

Get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider. If you can't, contact Apple Support to get it serviced.

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

HT5654 Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Printed photos on my HP Photosmart Plus B210 from my iphone a few times, but now it will not respond

Printed photos on my HP Photosmart Plus B210 from my iphone a few times, but now it will not respond. My phone still recognizes the computer, but nothing happens.

Hi @maka4868
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are no longer able to print to your Photosmart Plus B210 printer from Microsoft Word.
I am presuming that you are using a Mac Operating System as indicated at the top of your post. I have done some research and found Microsoft’s document titled Troubleshooting damaged documents in Word for Mac. It has the steps when printing from Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac.
Please let me know the outcome.

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have been using firefox successfully for some time but now it will not open. I deleted firefox and re installed it but it still will not open. What happened??????

I have been using firefox for over a year with no problems. All of a sudden it has quit opening. I thought it might be something in my computer so I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it from your web site. It still will not open. What do I do now???????

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

HT2480 just updated to ios 7 and had to change my password on my exchange account, now it will not recognize my new password

Just updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.01 and had to change my password on my exchange account. My exchange account will not verify the new password even though they are the same for both laptop and iphone

Hi,
It should allow you to change the password in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your account > Account > Password > Done
Or you can try to remove your account and add it again in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Exchange
Hope it helps

After full Time Machine restore, Aperture will not start

Aperture is the only application that won't run after a full restore from Time Machine. Any suggested fix?
I don't remember every using any Aperture CD's. It came installed on the machine and I've upgraded with downloads ever since. If re-installation is the answer, where do I get the download files?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi, you are not the only one to have this problem it happened to me the same thing. It was easy for me to fix because i had the disks i just installed over the top that was it. Without the cd key you are stuck you can try downloading the demo version again but i dont think that will work it may find your key and just install, download at http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial/ . Apart from that you say it was installed what on a new Mac ? if so contact apple and see they should have records of your purchase and help you out.

Firefox will no longer run on my computer. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. Installed the updates and now nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3) edit. I'm no techie so I have no clue what is causing this or what to do. I love firefox and miss it greatly. Anyone know what I can do to get it back?

Can you install a new profile? See [[Managing Profiles]] for me details and let us know if you need additional assistance.

Had my battery replaced in my Tungsten E2 now it will not turn on.

Charged the battery. Tried soft reset. Will only work while plugged in. Tried hard reset it does not respond. I deleted my password. It is unlocked. My info is saved on my computer. Now what do I do?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

If someone else replaced the battery for you and it does not stay powered on without being plugged in, send it back and have them replace it again. Or do it yourself...see www.directfix.com for parts and video instructions.

Have used Firefox for a long time and now it will not boot up and I get message saying cannot initialize security component. Have uninstalled and re-installed Yahoo optimized 5 version and still the same.

The only thing I have done different in the past few days is to install trial version of Bitdefender Total Security and I used the PC tune-up feature for PC clean-up and registry cleaner. That seems to be the point I could not loner use Firefox.

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

sonjadg,
you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.
