Apple tv light keeps flashing quickly even after restore

Hi,
i wanted to update my apple tv software - but after it was apparently all set, the apple tv stopped working and started flashing quickly.
I restored it, though itunes - as i read on line.
unfortunately it didn't sort out my problem because once i put it back on tv it still kept flashing and the screen still send me to itunes to restore it.
( i did it twice, but still flashing).
does anybody know what i should do now?
do i need to call the apple support?!
many thanks in advance.
xx

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Having restored it, try it with another TV and HDMI cable and see if the problem re-occurs.

    If you restored from a backup, the backup may be corrupted.

  • What happens when the status light keeps flashing quickly?

    My status light on the front keeps flashing quickly.  Is there a fix for this?

    If it's within the warranty period, then return and exchange it. If not, then you have to do a restore with a USB Mini cable.

  • My Time Capsule doesn't want to (hard nor soft) reset, and the status light keeps flashing quickly.

    About two weeks ago, my Time Capsule's status light was flashing rapidly orange/green simultaneously.
    Unplugging the power supply worked.
    However, now this trick doesn't work anymore, and a soft nor hard reset of the Time Capsule doesn't work either.
    The Time Capsule can't reset anymore, doesn't send out WiFi-signals, and its status light keeps flashing rapidly green/orange simultaneously.
    Thanks for your support.

    What model is the TC? Please give the number from the base, A1xxx.
    It sounds like the reset has been forced in and is not releasing. I think whatever the problem is you will have a hard time fixing it.. it will need replacement .. it is just a question of what is possible and that depends on its age and model.

  • Why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me

    why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me.

    No idea.  What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?

  • My AE just keep blinking orange even after factory reset. Does this means the thing is pass its useful life,

    My AE just keep blinking orange even after several resets. Ths thing is about 4 years old. Is it pass its usefullife?

    Actually, a flashing amber (blinking orange) status light is normal for just after performing a reset. It just indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

  • Amber Light keeps flashing - can't configure my AirPort Express

    Here is my setup: Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista. I have my cable modem directly plugged into my AirPort Express. I have no other wireless network or router.
    I'm able to connect to the AirPort Express through my wireless card and establish a connection and surf the net but the Airport Utility Software won't let me configure the device and the light keeps flashing amber. It never turns to green. I've tried every combination of resetting my AirPort Express, cable modem and computer.
    I can see the AirPort Express Base Station icon on the left hand side of the AirPort utility software , when I click "manual setup" or "continue" it try to detect a wireless device but it always comes back with a the message: "An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. error -4"
    Am I missing something?

    Temporarily, disconnect the ethernet cable from the Express that is coming from the modem.
    Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express, turn off wireless on the computer, and see if AirPort Utility can access the settings that way. If so, go ahead and set it up.
    If you are able to configure the device, then you will get an error message that you do not have an internet connection...because the Express is not connected to the modem.
    When you re-connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the Express and restart both the modem and Express, you should get the green light.
    Depending on the type of modem you have, some additional configuration may be needed. The important thing at this point is to get AirPort Utility to access the settings on the Express so that you can configure it.
    You may need to do the factory reset again on the Express. If AirPort Utility still cannot access the settings on the Express after this, try another computer, Mac if possible, to see if that might be the issue.
    Sometimes, an internal component fails within the Express. When this occurs, AirPort Utility cannot access the device no matter what, and there are really no other options except to replace the device.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

    Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

    When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

  • Actiontec GT701C DSL light keeps flashing please help

    I use to have the WIFI router from verizon but the wifi range was not strong enough for certain items in my home... in addition the items could not even find the network on wifi. i replaced it with a Actiontec GT701C so i could use my old wireless router that was strong enough to support my whole home .. But know when i connect my DSL line to the New modem the GT701c i can not access the internet .. i Could get to the configure screen but other than that the DSL Light keeps flashing any suggestions.. i have rebooted the modem and tryed diffrent phone line and phone jacks in my home please help !!!

    Does your older modem connect still? If so, could you tell us which modem it is so that we could help you obtain the Transceiver Statistics from it? It's possible the ActionTec could either be defective or it could be sensitive to noise on the line if the signal isn't the greatest.

  • Light keeps flashing and cannot connect to ipad

    The front light keeps flashing and there is no connection to my ipad - advice seems to be to restore but do I restore on the ipad - general settings and restore

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support

    InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support so I can get this fix.

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

    A window will open with details about why the Express is complaining.

  • Officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing

    I have an officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing. I initially had the problem when I put a new black ink cartridge in. Lately there was an error message on the computer saying pump stall error, which then culminated in a print head error. I have replaced the print head at an extra £40 I have replaced all the ink cartridges which say they are low even though I haven't been printing. Basically spent the cost of the printer again  AND I STILL CANT PRINT! I'm using a Mac with snow leopard and I have reset the printer list and installed the new software and drivers. I have tried connecting with USB and Ethernet. I have filled up the paper. I have taken out the duplex and given it all a blow through. reset the print heads - basically everything the support web pages told me to do.
    I have to say this is the worse printer I have ever had from HP. I always buy HP because of the quality. I have to say I feel unless this problem is solved with out me spending more money on it I will have to buy something else - and not HP ever! oh and the warranty is out by less than 2 months!

    Welcome back burtf,
    I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Officejet 8500 showing a message for you to turn the printer off and on. I would recommend following the guide below for this issue.
    I hope it helps!
