Apple TV is working but screen is blank

My Apple TV appears to be working fine, as the led blinks when I use the remote, and I'm able to play songs from iTunes Library, but I can't get anything to appear on the screen.
What I've tried so far:
1.) Connecting with both HDMI and 2 different sets of component cables. (not leaving HDMI plugged in while using component)
          The TV recognizes that there is a signal there, with each different set-up. SO I've ruled this out
2.) Holding down menu + for 6 seconds to cycle through the resolutions.
          This cycles through and the TV recognizes several, but no picture ever appears.
3.) Holding down Menu - for 6 seconds to do a factory re-set.
          This worked, the LED turned amber, and the Apple TV played the initial startup sound, but I never saw a picture.
4.) Unplugging everything for 15 minutes, and then reconnecting it all
Nothing I do seems to work.
The apple TV worked fine last week, before I had internet. I went out of town for a week and had Fios installed, then plugged in the ethernet cable, and went to turn it on and now I've got nothing.
please Help

To be certain you might want to try the Apple TV with another TV, but it may well be that the graphics have failed on the Apple TV.

  • TS3274 Ipad 1 was dropped, screen is intact, can hear it still works but screen is blank, tried to restore but it failed? Help

    Hi,
    My Autistic son dropped his ipad and now the screen is blank? The sound still works and I can hear the apps working but the screen is blank. The screen is not broken or chipped at all. I tried to restore it (as the Apple Store recognises the Ipad when I plug it into the computer) but the restore failed with an unknown error numbered 3194.  Does anyone know if there is a quick fix for this or do I need to send it into an Apple Store for repairs? I live on a small island so taking it into a store isn't an option unfortunately, plus my non verbal Autistic son is VERY distressed, so any quick resolution to enable to screen to be visual again would be a massive help please. Thank you

  • I have 60gb ipod classic.  Music plays, but screen is blank or white.

    I have 60gb ipod classic.  Music plays, but screen is blank or white.  Resetting has not worked.  Lines show when reset, but no Apple logo.  Is display shot?

    Hello Paul,
    I would be concerned too if my display on my iPod classic was not working.  I recommend going through the steps in this tutorial.  If it is a software issue, these steps should resolve the issue:

    Hello waseem.abdul_hadi,
    It may be that your Screen Curtain has been activated. This can be deactivated by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers.
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

    ipad screen is locked.  slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    The model 7,1 is actually the Mid 2010 MacBook and is the only MacBook with a Mini DisplayPort that sends audio along with the video, Here's some Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with audio adapters from Amazon.

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • Screen lights up, music plays, but screen is blank

    I have just recently sent in my first ipod mini to the Apple repair service. They sent me a replacement ipod. The replacement worked fine for a while but is now acting up.
    The screen lights up, and the music plays just fine, but the screen is blank.
    I have tried to plug the ipod into my computer - itunes does recognize it and updates it.
    I have also tried to reset and restore the ipod, but to no avail.
    I have contacted Apple repair services again, but they want me to send in the proof of purchase...but this is the replacement ipod that they had sent me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Just try filling out the online form...
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
    If the bother to call and ask for the proof of purchase through that, then just say that it is an exchanged iPod.
    See when they say this one was purchased. Go to the link below and on the right a few scrolls down the page there is an about your apple product box. Enter your Serial Number. If it is under a year there, you need not send anything in...

  • Apple TV is working but no picture.

    Apple TV not working properly. My iphone remote sees it, so does iTunes. I can even add content to it via iTunes. But no matter how I try to reset it all I get is a big red screen once it boots completely. I get the Apple logo while the amber light is blinking then nothing and then the red screen. What is going on??? I have tried to unplug it and re plug it again with no luck. I have also reset it through the remote control, no luck.
    It has been connected via HDMI since I purchased it and it was working flawlessly before the 3.0 upgrade.

    I suspect you've already tried these steps:
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    * When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    * Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    * Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    * If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    * If HDMI isn't working for you - then try component instead. Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    If your TV screen still appears fuzzy or black, you may need to select a video mode your TV supports.
    To select a video mode:
    1. Press and hold both Menu and Menu up/scroll on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds. Apple TV will cycle through different display resolutions.
    2. When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and "If you can see the Apple logo, select OK" appears on your TV screen, press the Play button on the Remote.

  • Yesterday with help i updated my ipad with apple assistance. Today the screen is blank

    Hi any advice please my screen is blank today after updating and backing it up yesterday with Apple support.
    Thanks
    Jenny

    Thank you for the advice Eric, however I am not very computer literate and have since posted another query, which if I have posted correctly you may have seen.
    I did manage to recover my data except all of my photos, I was left with 5 out of many. I have noted that on I Cloud it says that it may be necessary to update the cloud account to recover photos but I cannot find how to do this.
    I would really appreciate advice.

  • IPod comes on but screen is blank

    I was listening to my iPod, no problems whatsoever, stopped the audiobook I was listening to and now the screen is blank except for the iPod up in the left corner and the battery symbol (full) on the right. I can't even get it to turn off! What's going on? Do I have to take it back, it's still under warranty but I sure hope I can reset it or something?

    try holding down the home button only for about 10 seconds (this is basically a force quit).
    after your try reseting, if it works or not, sync your ipod with itunes and do a restore.
