Apple TV I have to re-start after every power outage.  Is this normal?  I have gen 3

After all power outages.  I have to re-set my Apple TV.  Is this normal?   I have had this device for 8 months and its become a pain!

Many thanks guys for the response. there are still problems that i didn;t put here: 1: Storage (USB) is really slow; 2: Config restore is not working (I used to think this is not a problem while i changed my mind after reading some of the search results of the product); 3: Device will get back to work after power outage ONLY if you leave everything to be factory default, as long as you changed ANY setting, you lose your connection after power break. I will return this piece, and go back to D-link. I bought this router for my boss and i can not afford losing my job because of it. Sorry for this decision in Linksys forum, but, it leaves me no choice.

  • I have an apple tv and the light blinks continuously after an electrical outage. does this mean my apple tv has been permanently damaged or only resetting is necessary?

  • When choosing to use the Apple wireless keyboard,re-pairing must be done every time. Is this normal?

    I must go through the pairing process every time I use the wireless keyboard with the Apple TV. Is this normal, and to be expected?

    This will most likely help a bunch.....it did a complete fix for me.  Follow it step-by-step.
    1.   Open "System Preferences".   ( computer only), (Windows computer unknown)
    2.   Open "Network".
    3.   Click on the "Sprocket with down arrow".
    4.   Select "Make Service Order"
    5.   Move the connection your using (Wifi, Ethernet, etc.) to the top, and click Apply.
    6.   If you selected Ethernet, then turn OFF Wifi in the top menu.
    7.   Shut DOWN your computer and then restart after completely shutting down.
    7a. Either restart or unplug and plug in the Apple TV (insure your logged into Home Share after restart).
    7b. Start iTunes (insure your logged into Home Share).
    Enjoy life again!

  • After a power outage my usb ports on the back of the tower do not recognise the apple usb keyboard upon start up. How do I fix this issue?

    I have a Mac Pro 5.1 and after a power outage my usb ports on the back of the tower do not recognise the apple usb keyboard upon start up. If I leave the plug out and then insert the keyboard after start up it works fine. The same happens with the front usb ports. How do I fix this issue?

  • After several power outages, there is only a white screen, an apple in the center and a time strip after the strip is complete it turns it self off what is this problem

    I have a 27in Mac desk top, its about a 2009, after several power outages and the computer pluged up and on now when turn it on it shows a white screen, apple in the center and a time strip toward the bottom when the time strip goes to the end of the cycle it shuts its self off.
    The only thing we have tryed which was from a forum which was simular problem was, command-option-p-r, hold them down til the screen was back up, we try several times it did not work, please,please some-one help we use this computer for our job.

    Also the trick you used, is known as resetting the PRAM. Not always the best of ideas for Macs older than 4 years.  But I'm glad it worked for you.  There is a battery which will eventually need replacing inside that would actually make that technique stop your Mac from working until replaced.

    Is this a Windows error?  If so, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.  If you do, try reinstalling iTunes.  If that doesn't work, try manually starting the service.

  • HT202157 Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage here.  But nothing happens.  The wheel just keeps spinning.  What do I do to be able to use my apple tv?

    Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage. But the wheel just spins and nothing happens..  The software is updated and my wifi router is on and working fine and recognized by the Apple TV.  How do I get Apple TV to work again?

    Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately "Restart" did not change the situation.  I then used the "Restore" option.  After about 45 minutes of the unit going through the process, Apple TV was up and running again.

  • I have .app after all my apps, Is this normal? e.g time machine.app, safari.app, stickies.app .

    Hi All,
    I have .app after all my applications, is this normal? e.g safari.app, stickies.app .
    Thanks

    Yes, it's normal - you should have a .docx extension on Word files, etc., as well.
    If you don't want to see the extensions, you can always turn them off in the Finder's Preferences.

  • How to get Mavericks server that is connected to a UPS to restart automatically after a power outage.

    This is driving me crazy. Is there anyone running Mavericks as a mission critical server on Backup Power Supplies that has a way to get the servers to restart automatically after a power outage. The UPS vendors all have software for Windows, but not Macs, and the setting in System Preferences, doesn't work with the UPS's Iv'e tried (2 different APC models (Smart and Back-UPs), one Triplite (Smart) and one CyberPower, (all claiming to be Mac compatible))

    APC do apparently still do a command-line daemon (PowerChute Network Shutdown) which monitors over the network the UPS and will cleanly shutdown the Mac. For lower-end UPS devices these are typically connected via a USB cable and the built-in Apple System Preferences let you control the options - if it is a model supported. There is however a big limitation of using a USB connection which is that you can only connect a single computer to a UPS via USB and of course most companies have multiple servers.
    It maybe that what is happening even if you use APC's software is the following -
    Power failure detected by UPS
    Signal sent to Mac
    Computer does a clean shutdown
    Power restored
    UPS has no way to tell Mac because it is shutdown and Mac does not support 'Wake on LAN' if fully shutdown
    The Mac does have an option to 'Startup automatically after a power failure'. However this might only take place if the Mac is not cleanly shutdown, it could be that if the Mac is cleanly shutdown it does not count this as a power failure. If this is correct then there is nothing that can be done as users to resolve this, the only way it could be resolved would be if Apple provided a way for a tool like APCs software to both do a clean shutdown and set a flag as this being due to a power failure so that when the Mac does detect the power being restored it triggers the Mac in to booting.
    In the dim and distant past when Macs used ADB to connect keyboards and mice the ADB interface did support an external power-on signal. This does not exist for USB.
    Personally I have regarded the APC software (PowerChute Network Shutdown 3.0.1) to be so badly supported and so old as to be too risky to use. It lists 10.7 and 10.8 but not 10.9 and uses Java 1.6 which itself is unsupported. There is a third-party tool you might want to look at called NUT (Network Ups Tools) see http://www.networkupstools.org
    NUT is free and lets you do clever things like -
    Connect a single computer via serial or USB to the UPS
    Act as a 'server' over the network to other computers sharing the UPS
    When power failure is detected the NUT 'server' sends a signal to the NUT 'clients' so all of them know that there is a power failure and can do their own clean shutdowns
    This gets round only being able to connect a single computer via USB.

  • Wrt1900ac (I changed the local ip of the router after a power outage)

    I changed the local ip of the router after a power outage,which brings me a lot of trouble because I have everything set up based on a class C network (192.168.1.x) and I changed it to a ip Type A (10.xxx), someone happens the same there any solution ?

    Hi juanmanuelvazquez. Have you tried to do a hard reset to the unit and reinstall it from scratch?  I suggest that you do so as power interruption normally brings the router back to default settings thereby messing up the network. To do the proper reset, please press down the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds while the device is powered on. Release the button and unplug the device. Reinstall everything from scratch.
    Hope that helps.

  • My printers are missing after a power outage.

    This is now the 4th time this has happened, but this time I have at least what I believe to be a cause. After a power outage of about 30 seconds this past thursday all of my printers attached to my imac have disappeared. Not only this, but when attempting to even press cmd p from any program that I could possibly print from slows down the system to a crawl, and eventually crashes. When going through system preferences the printers menu takes about 10 minutes even come up, and when it does, it's empty. When attempting to add a printer back the system once again slows to a halt eventually not responding. I've tried restarting multiple times, making a new user account (which worked for about 3 months the previous incident happened.) The only thing that has fully fixed this problem in the past was to re image the computer.
    Any help would be great.

    Try resetting the printing system OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    if that doesn't help you may need to reinstall OS X. Consider getting a UPS if power outages are that common in your area.

  • I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

    I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

    Check with your internet provider for help.  Your modem or router could have been damaged if they did not come on after the outage.  If your modem and router look OK all you should have to do is restart your iMac.
