Apple tv connectivity issues.  No signal

I looked around here, so forgive me in advance if I missed it.
Apple tv is awesome, but now its not working.  I think someone in my house clicked OK when ATV required us to update, but I seem to remember it working after that.
We have a Sharp Aquos 40".  We use the Harmony remote.  The light on the ATV box is lit, all of the connections are the same as before, but we are not getting a signal.  The tv is set to HDMI output 4 and the dpi is 1080.  The reciever is a Yamaha RX-V671, and its set to "HDMI 2". 
I'm a bit reticent to start changing settings before I check here as this is a bit beyond my scope of knowledge.  (we call the geek squad now and then when things go haywire).
Also, its an gen 1.  I looked at the serial # when checking into support, and i was told that this product is no longer supported.  eesh.  Again before I get someone on the phone, I'm checking here...
Thanks
Al

  • Apple TV connectivity issues

    Hi, I have just purchased one of the third generation Apple TV's and connected it to my home netowork, I have a new Macbook Air running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8. As soon as I connected my laptop to my home network via wi-fi I will get a prompt to enter my Apple TV password, if I cancel this the prompt will continue to pop up every so often. If I do enter the password and then open the display preferences tab I cannot change the Apple TV mirroring tab to indicate that Apple TV is selected - the laptop screen is however mirrored on a network connected TV.
    Another issue is that when both the Apple TV and laptop are connected to the network any audio from the laptop is directed towards Apple TV - whether or not the password has been entered. To over come this I have to enter the display preferences and toggle Airplay mirroring between Apple TV and Off (as explained, Off always remained checked whether Apple TV isactually working or not).
    The Appe TV and the Network connection appear to be fine as both my iPhone and iPod will connect as disconnect as they should. Has anyone else had similar problems with Mountain Lion, if so any suggestions as to how to fix this issue would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jason,
    I have been beating my head against a wall for some time now on Apple TV issues.  After replacements, swapping ATVs between rooms, I finally deduced it was NOT my Apple TV, Router, or iMac.... my wireless sound bar is to blame. 
    I only came to this conclusion last night (late at night).  I had just gotten the ATV replaced by Apple.  Worked great for a day and then would not work at all. I would browse the library, and it would attempt to playback, but would endless buffer some movies, while it would eventually play others.  MOvies from iCloud were very erratic and the really odd thing is Netflix and Hulu would work every time, HD or SD. 
    My Router is an AirPort Extreme and I tried setting up a 5GHZ network and that didnt eliminate the issue.  I am somewhat thinking its wireless interference because the Apple TV that was in my living room would stream fine over WiFi and Ethernet, but would not stream in my bedroom.  Also both AppleTVs (the one I bought and the replacement I got) for the bedroom would play back just fine over ethernet.  It just would not over WiFi.  So I am fairly certain it is wireless interference of some sort from the soundbar/sub. 
    I still have a ways to go.  BUt you may look around the room and consider other devices that may be causing you a similar issue.  It was a stroke of luck that I decided to shut off my soundbar and see if that was the cause.  Turns out it is.  I just dont know what to do about it, aside from running another ethernet line into my bedroom.  Which also means I need to add a switch to my network to add the ethernet ports, which ***** as it may cause me other network issues such as routing, NATing, IP conflicts, etc.... 

  • Airport Extreme / Apple TV Connectivity issue -HELP!!

    I am able to enter my WEP password on the Apple TV, and it connects to my wireless network. But, the next day, it doesn't show up in my list of devices on iTunes. I look at the setings on the apple TV, and it says I am not connected to network, and I have to enter password again. What setting do I need to adjust on the Airport Extreme or the Apple TV?

    I have the same issue. Wish I could help.... It is ridiculously annoying to have to put in the password every day, yet it is all I can do!
    I dont understand... even if it drops the connection to the TC, why cant it reconnect on its own like computers do?

  • Wierd Apple TV Connection issue.....

    AppleTV will connect to iTunes wirelessly via airport extreme, but will not connect via ethernet. Have disabled firewalls, updated everything, disabled/renabled search for appletv in itunes, rebooted everything - no sign of appletv when ethernet plugged in - but appletv will show up when unplug ethernet cable. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Thanks for quick response. I should have mentioned that Appletv shows up on my tv when ethernet cable is connected and I can then see movies, videos, etc, so I don't think it is a cable issue. In other words, when I use can ethernet cable I can to connect to the Internet, but not to my computer that hosts itunes.

  • Apple Configurator Connection Issues with iPad 2s

    I work at a public library that checks out iPad 2s. We have ten of them and use Apple Configurator 1.2.1 to keep them all on the same page. For some reason, though, we're now having some trouble with it.
    All ten iPads lose their connection after being put into the Supervisor Mode. Sometimes the error is "internet error" and sometimes it's that the apps won't install. We've scaled back on the apps to the ones that are known good.
    We're using iOS 6.1.2. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Have you tried a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds. This can often help wireless connections. When the Homehub is resetting, "forget" the connection to the homehub on your ipad then restart the ipad and once it has restarted, remake the connection to the homehub.

  • Apple TV connection issue

    I have an older TV and want to connect an AppleTV box to it, however there isn't an HDMI connection on the television.  Is there a convertor that I can use or a different type of cable?

    HDMI is the only method supported. There are converters but there is no guarantee it will work.

  • We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
    I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
    The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

  • Apple TV and Drop Outs, Connection Issues

    I use AppleTV to mirror my ipad 2. it's great. Love it Then I'll try it again and it may work but often the icon disappears. I then clear the password then re-enter it and that will bring it back or if that doesn't work I may have to shut down my ipad 2 at least once.
    This happens almost every second or third time I try to use it.
    I currently have an iphone 4s, ipad2, ipod touch and as someone has said before, this is the first time I've been deeply disappointed in an Apple product. I expect glitches every now and then but this continual drop out and connection issues I have is beyond the joke.
    Does anyone have any solutions. Yes I have done all the updates, yes I am on the same network, yes airplay is turned on, yes home sharing is enabled.
    As you can see I am peeved!

    I too am having the same problem. I have a MB Pro running OS X 10.9.4 cannot see AirPlay option. Any solutions out there? Tried AirParrot but it is spotty at best.

  • I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router.  The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?

  • Apple TV 2nd Wifi Connectivity issues

    My apple TV keeps loosing it internet connection. Everyday when it turn it on I have to re connect to my network, its like it forgets it, but at the same time it say's its already connect. It gets a 169 IP address, and I have to go through the wifi setup again. Sometime this happens after watching pod casts, youtube, or netflix. If I am watching it, it will still show it has a 192 address and connected to my netgear router, but will not connect until I re do the network setup. I have 6 other wireless devices connected to my wifi and and 3 wired devices. I have rest my router to factory defaults once all ready, reset the apple tv also,  tried only letting the apple tv connect by it self, tried changing the channels, tried basic encryption, currently its on wpa2. my router is a dual band wireless n router. Any help with this problem would be greately appreciated as I am out of ideas to try.

    Interference can come from various sources and yes cordless phones are a common source of interference, interference can also come from neighbouring networks.
    Generally speaking moving channels can help avoid conflicts caused by neighbouring networks, but may be less effective against interference from cordless phones and microwaves etc which may cover more channels than a wifi network.
    If your AP supports it you could also try the 5 Ghz wifi channels which are less prone to that sort of interference.
    Interference is not going to be the source of everyones problems but it seems to be a very significant factor for many, so I feel it's probably a good starting point and at least in cases where it isn't a problem it does eliminate it.
    There is free software available that can help you look for neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but such software won't detect non network originated interference.

  • IPhone 4 voice/data connection issues?

    I've had my iPhone 4 for around 6 months now. Lately I've been dropping a lot of out-going calls and have had some issues receiving calls in the last few days. Today I've had 3 voice mail notifications from people who have tried to call me and could not get through. It rings through to voicemail and sends me a notification after they're done recording. I have anywhere from 2 to 4 service bars, usually averaging at 3 in this location.
    On top of the voice and call issues, I've been having problems with GPS and location services lately, too. I use the Waze app for directions. My phone will register 3G data signal, but none of the apps that use GPS can find any location. I have Location Service turned on in settings and have no problem starting my routes when I have wifi signal at home before I leave.
    Phone details:
    iPhone 4 8GB
    Sprint Network

  • I cannot get my IPad air to connect to wireless in home. Two other iPad 2's connect as well as laptops. I have already exchanged one iPad air and none want to connect. Husband has taken iPad air to the apple store, connects here but not here. Who can help

    Can someone please help???  I received am IPad air in November for my birthday and have not been able to use yet,  I could not get it to connect so I returned it for another iPad air. And cannot get it to connect to wireless either. I have three other iPad 2's and laptops in home and everything connects with no problem. What is the deal with these iPad airs? My husband took the iPad to Apple store, it works there but didn't change anything so it won't work at home. Do I need to step down to old IPad since that's all that will connect in home.  This is crazy,!!! How can I get my IPad air working in my home.???

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Multiple Internet Connection Issues

    Hi there, long time reader first time poster.
    I figured I should post this as, while having read through hundreds of similar posts I still can't figure out how to solve my connectivity issues.
    I just bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 3.2Ghz i3 model and while I am happy with the machine overall, it is the second one in a month - the first had a faulty ethernet port and refused to connect to the internet out of the box. Apple replaced it without question - almost as if they knew.
    The replacement has now seemingly developed the same issue.
    Some background info. The computer was connected both through ethernet and through the TC I bought to back it up until yesterday. So I was getting both a wireless signal from the TC and one through ethernet.
    I have a hub that has 5 devices connected to it ( Printer, Cable TV, iMac and TC - now a PS3 ) That hub is served a signal by a simple NTT modem connected to a phone line. That modem is now nearly 5 years old but has always given great net speeds so I don't believe the problem to be the modem - I could be wrong though.
    I just bought a PS3 and tried connecting it yesterday but had multiple problems. Despite me entering the correct PPPoE information to the letter, the PS3 refused to connect, saying the password and username was incorrect. I could connect it via a Bluetooth signal but no hard wired connection would work.
    So I unplugged everything from the hub, shut down all the machines, turned off the modem and let it sit for 10 minutes and then plugged the ethernet cable from the PS3 straight into the modem, giving it a direct line. Switched on modem, rebooted PS3 and tried again - this time it connected through ethernet. I still don't know how or why. I can guess but I'm sure you guys know much more about this than I do.
    So then I tried connecting the iMac back to the net, reconnected all the hub, followed the same procedure. Off, sit for a bit, on etc. This time the PS3 has no connection and now the iMac has no connection either!
    The TC gave a green light though so I was able to get wireless. I tried removing all net locations from the iMac, installing new ones, renewed the DHCP lease, but no matter what I did (PPPoE info 100% correct) it just refused to establish a connection.
    The the bloody TC light flashed amber and I couldn't get wireless either despite being plugged into the hub and getting a signal! The PS3 is now working and the cable is fine so I am starting to think either I have cluster ****** the whole setup or something is wrong with the iMac.
    I go away for an hour then come back and the stupid TC has somehow picked up a connection! The light is green again?! But now the time connected display is scrolling repeatedly. I've got net but what the **** is wrong with all this?
    Bottom line - not ethernet connection for the iMac but TC seems to be working and all other devices have a connection.
    Please help me if you can! I just can't figure any of this out.

    Your description is a bit confusing, but I use English as a second language, so it may be just me.
    1. How is the hub connecting to your modem, by ethernet cable or wirelessly?
    2. Which device is negotiating the internet connection with your ISP, the modem?
    3. Does the device that negotiates the connection use PPPoE?
    4. How are the other devices being handed their internet connection? DHCP only?
    Only one device should be connecting directly to your ISP using the PPPoE protocol and configured with your account username and password. This device is preferably the modem. This device should be configured to hand out internal IP addresses to the other devices on your LAN using DHCP. All of the other devices should be configured to request an IP from that device, whether by ethernet or wi-fi, just with DHCP.

  • Iphone 6 connectivity issue

    I have a new iPhone 6. Had a 5s before. Still have it. Had the same issue with both. I work in an office that does not get an ATT signal in my office. When I leave the office and go to where there is a good signal, I have an issue with both iPhones where it could connect to the carrier signal quickly or take up to 8 minutes to finally get a signal. I also have a blackberry that when I do the same thing, the blackberry connects to the signal immediately. I've called apple about the issue and they said it's a carrier issue and reset network settings or do a restore. I've reset network setting several times to not avail. Don't believe it's a carrier issue as the blackberry does not exhibit this behavior.
    Anyone else see anything like this? Any ideas on what might be happening or anything to fix this? Thanks.

    Ya, airplane mode is an option but it shuts all the radios down including WiFi. I need WiFi for imessage and email. I have used airplane on and off to regain signal and it works immediately. Just not something I should have to do or think about to regain signal quickly.
