Apple TV loses picture output and status light flashes rapidly after 5 minutes hooked up via HDMI - DVI cable

Apple TV connected to a 2005 50" plasma monitor with DVI input via belekin HDMI to DVI cable.  Unit worked perfectly long enough to get it connected to the wireless network and begin the itunes registration process when there was a loss of signal message on the screen from the monitor and the Apple TV status light flashed rapidly and continuously. Reset and reboot yeilded flashing rapid status light and no output detected from the monitor.  I contacted support online and was told to return the unit to the apple store.  I returned home with another brand new apple tv and connected it in the same manner with exactly the same results.  Is there something with the HDMI - DVI interface that is causing this?  Are there known issues with the HDMI - DVI connection to Apple TV with older plasma monitors?

The Apple TV doesn't actually support DVI. Some have managed to get it to work others have had varying issues with it.

  • 3 status lights flash rapidly only after unplugging it stop

    Whenever I use ‘Airport setup assistant’ to make changes to my existing setting, and when the base station should be restarted it stops sending a signal and then all three status lights flash rapidly and also simultaneously. This is a replacement base station as the previous had its wan port fried. When it was first plugged in it gave this same problem. Only after plugging out the power chord and waiting for say 1 minute, then plugging it back in did the flashing stop and the base station started sending a signal again. This also occurred during the first set up using airport admin utility. It hasn’t happened since (when using admin utility)…but continues to happen when I use airport setup assistant. Is it sumthing I should be worried about?

    Sounds like your Airport Base Station is operating just fine - I wouldn't worry about it.

  • HT204492 If you're using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn't with the remote.

    If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
    Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

    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)

  • 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?

  • My airport time capsule did not set up successfully, and then status light flash amber

    Hi, Guys
      I am the first time user of the time capsule, please help how to proceed?
      I have set up the first time and my airport time capsule does not set successfully, then I try to reset to factory setting. After this, although I use the ethenet cable to connect the router to the airport, the status light flash amber, always, even after the reset.
      Also, I can see that airport time capsule base station from the wireless network when airport is plugged in. However, when I want to access to it.

    Thanks for your guidance, but the product is really anoying. First, I am sure that the airpor utilities is 6.3.
    and I also follow your instruction that to set the IPv6 as local link mode. But still get the same error as mentioned in my first post.
    Therefore, I have tried to use the bridge mode but could not find it, and therefore still can not set it up successfully, even though I reset the factory again(press the reset button 5 secconds at least).

    I was checking another thing, usually the switches we use here in my work supports a maximum of 14W per port or 15.4w, this wap is consuming 15.2w
    Is this the problem??
    the strange to me is that,in this same sw I have several WAP and they all use 12.2w
    The device type in sw for WAP usually appears as LAP1131AG-AIR-E-K9 ... but this WAP appears as Ieee PD ...
    What problems do you think is it?

  • AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine

    AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine, any ideas?

    It flashes amber when there is some kind of conflict. If the internet is working but the amber light bothers you, airport utility ahould tell you why your airport is reporting a problem.
    If airport utility thinks your airport is normal and the amber light bothers you, do a hard reset on the device

    Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Or at least recover the lost data?
    Thanks!

    How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
    How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
    You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.

  • Dv4-1365dx Caps and scroll lights flash 4 times.

    When I turn on my computer, the hard drive starts but then stops. The lights on the touchbar (next to the power button) come on, but the screen does not. Then, the caps lock and scroll lights flash 4 times in sequence. My warranty expired last year, what do I need to do to fix my problem?

    If the hard reset suggested by Erico does not resolve the problem,

  • Desktop Computer dc5750 shuts down and red light flashes on front of computer and won't start at all

    I have a DC5750 HP Compaq Computer it is 6 years old, but I have 4GB Ram, Nvidia GS8400 Graphics Card, two one TB Hard Drives. While I tried to re-installed my operating systems it all of a sudden shut down not once but twice, I opened up the side of the computer and found that it was hotter then normal. I let it sit for a while thinking it maybe over heating after hooking it back up I turned it on again nothing happened except a beeping noise and red lights flashing on the front. Can this be fixed as money is an issue.

    How do you switch output sounds   set to my external monitor that is connected via HDMI. 

    Hello gail from Ajijic,
    If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
    Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
    Choose a sound output device
    From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
    For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.

  • P2015 Ready Light flashes 4.5 minutes

    I wrote a file printing program using CodeGear (previously Borland) Delphi that prints Delphi source code files on both sides of half sheets (5.5 x 8.5 ); I manually refeed the pages for printing on the reverse.  The program bypasses the Windows printer canvas by using Windows API printer functions to send PCL 5 escape-sequences directly to a HP P2015dn printer connected to the USB port using the PCL 5e driver (The same results are obtained using the PCL 6 driver).  The program changes the font to 16.67 char/in, changes the lines/in, changes the margins, and repositions the cursor several times.
        The program performs exactly as planned but after the last page is printed, the printer reset command is sent, and the printer is closed, the printer's Ready Light will continuously flash for 4 minutes and 40 seconds then turn steady-on as is normal.  But even while the Ready Light is flashing (implying that the printer is receiving data), the above program can be run again and it will immediately print whatever file is requested.
    Does anyone have any idea why the Ready Light flashes for 4 minutes and 40 seconds after the print-job is complete?
