Apple TV needs reboot for every use

My second-gen ATV is connected to a Sony TV via HDMI. Every time I try to use the ATV it requires a hard restart by unplugging/replugging its power cord. How can I avoid this?

I am having the exact same issue, my Apple TV (2) is plugged into my receiver, it won't even turn on without a "hard" reboot.

  • Home Sharing Needs Recreation for every use

    When I attempt to open a connection to my MBP the ATV2 won't "see" the computer until I close Home Sharing and then recreate a Home Share. This has happened repeatedly.
    Annoying waste of time.

    same here. all my shared content is kept on an external drive which goes to sleep after not being used. I'm thinking the ATV isn't able to see the connection when the drive is asleep.

  • E1000 Dies After Streaming from Mac to Apple TV - Needs Reboot Every Time

    Hey everyone:
    I got an Apple TV a few weeks back and we've been using it a lot, especially to stream Netflix.  However, another application that I got it for was for streaming iPhoto slideshows and iMovie stuff to the Apple TV with Airplay's screen sharing.  This event scenario has played out several times.....  Screen sharing is up and going and it'll be working great.  All of a sudden the TV will go back to the main Apple TV menu on its own.  Upon further review at this point, NONE of my WiFi (iPhone, iPad, etc.) devices will connect to the network and I have to power cycle the router.  Router lights are on, but no one's home.  At this point, it'll boot back up and then everything will be fine, at least for a while.
    Tonight, I was showing vacation pictures to some family and this same process happened twice.  Since I can't seem to figure out how to stop playing a slideshow in iPhoto and then start it again in the middle, it's very annoying.  Here are some relevant troubleshooting points to consider:
    1.  This network problem (or something similar to it) has happened in the past, but whatever it is, streaming a slideshow really seems to aggravate it.  This seems to be the only scenario that I can do to actually INDUCE the issue.  Periods of long uploads or downloads are fine.  Streaming audio from one device and similar usage seems to be fine, but this scenario fails pretty much every time, and not necessarily right away.
    2.  After having this issue tonight multiple times, I stopped trying to stream an actual iPhoto slideshow and just went into the album and scrolled through the pics one by one.  I did this for at least an hour with no issue.  But with an actual slideshow, it failed twice in 30 minutes or less.  And it's happened before tonight as well.
    3.  It doesn't appear to make a difference what application I'm streaming from on the Mac.  Whether it's iPhoto, iMovie, or even Facetime.  
    MacBook Pro Specs - OS X 10.8.2 - Late 2011 Model
    Apple TV - MD199LL/A, v5.0.2
    Router - Linksys/Cisci E1000 - Firmware v2.1.02
    Anyone else have similar experiences or advice?  I've got a fair amount of devices in my home that use WiFi, but there was nothing irregular going on in the house to generate an excessive amount of internal network traffic or anything like that.  My gut says the problem is with the router, but it's only a few months old, and I've updated the firmware to no avail. 
    Thanks a bunch for any advice you may have!

    OK, so I've done a couple things here and both point to the above post about having two devices doing AirPlay at once.
    First things first....  I ran the Inssider tool and looked over my network.  My signal seems to always be between 50 and 60.  My router is on Ch 6 which seems to be the best choice.  There's one other network on that channel, but it's a very low signal strength.  The other ends of the spectrum are pretty well covered by other networks.
    Does this shed any light on this problem?
    Second - I hard wired my MacBook to the router, then screen shared to the Apple TV.  It was up for at least 15 minutes.  At some point, I looked over and it was no longer sharing, but the network *WASN'T* trashed like it normally gets.  So it possibly got dropped for some other reason.
    Third - I forgot that I have an Apple Airport Express that I normally use to stream music to a radio in my garage.  However, this device can be used as a router.  So I set it up this way and created a 2nd network.  I only put the Macbook and the Apple TV on it.  I've been streaming continuously for about 35 minutes now with no issues. 
    So it would seem that there's a firmware issue with this router that won't allow one device to Airplay to another device.  Does anyone else have any other conclusions or suggestions?  Otherwise, looks like I'll be treating myself to some new hardware after Christmas.
    Thanks very much for your help!

  • Apple TV needs Restart for Airplay especially after resuming from Sleep Mode

    1. I always have to restart my Apple TV for Airplay when I resume it from Sleep Mode. Neither my MAC not my PC nor my iPhone/iPad can connect to Airplay if it's not retsarted. I did a complete Factory Reset of Apple TV thinking it would be the best way of troubleshooting but in vein. Any help/suggestion/tips from anybody please?
    2. Also - Does Apple TV needs internet always for Airplay? I guess that should work on the LAN even if there is no internet connectivity, Correct?

  • Restrictions Really needs improvement for Business use

    Hi
    We have written an app and are replacing our industry standard barcode scanning devices with over 100 iPod Touches worldwide using a third party barcode sled accessory. This is much cheaper (Around $800 vs $1500) and offers a much richer and less confusing user interface to the end-user. However our end-users are often low paid seasonal workers employed by our clients, so when it comes to the restriction settings in iOS we try to lock the devices down as much as possible.
    I think more and more people are treating the iPod/iPhone/iPad in commerical environments and so the ability to secure and maintain these devices really needs to be improved. Our situation aside you can use your iPhone as a point of sale with a credit card swipe, if you have a retail chain with several of these devices for use by employees you don't want them to be messing around on them or making choices that you don't want them to purposfully or accidently.
    For instance:
    iOS6 upgrade seems to download automatically and prompt the user if they want to install. There is no way to turn updates off, and not even a password is required to do it. In my scenario if someone gets the upgrade push and then clicks ok they then can't work for 30 minutes, not good if there is a long line of people waiting to be served.
    WiFi/VPN connections can be changed
    Passcode lock can be turned on/off/changed
    Date/Time / Keyboard / International / Accessibility settings can all be played with
    Weather app always available
    Stocks app always available
    Maps can be used (location can be disabled at least!)
    etc..
    If I (as a developer) tell our deployment manager to tell our client's manager to tell their scanning manager to tell their temporary workers to not mess around with things like the above....someones not going to listen, and our IT department is just going to have to check each device and clean up.
    I know that apple's portable devices are aimed more at consumers, but I personlly think it's about time that we have some more attention to more business scenarios.
    I don't want to come accross negative so i'll finish by saying that a lot of the restrictions in place are very useful. Being able to disable the store, iTunes and safari are very big wins, without those we wouldn't have switched to iOS devices.
    Anyone else have a similar need for more administrative ability?
    Thanks for reading.

    One of these might be good for a POS (assuming you need touch screen), but those are terrible for graphic artists to use.  All-in-ones are to be put bluntly, over-priced pieces of junk with crappy power supplies and worthless integrated video cards.  They will run too hot most likely and need maintenance more often than larger well-ventilated desktop towers.  Your graphic artists staff will hate the small low resolution monitors as well as the lack of decent GPU acceleration.  The only good thing about them is the small form factor,  a sacrifice well worth looking past IMHO.
    Graphic artists should be using high-end monitors, IPS panels for accurate colors and high resolution displays of 2560x1600 pixels.  I strongly recommend looking at Dell's Ultra Sharp models (particularly the 30").  If you end up getting three Dell Ultra Sharps then you might as well get the whole system from them as well and develop some sort of professional relationship and support system like most businesses. 
     *The monitor should be the most expensive component by far and it is the most important for work productivity, do not skimp out here, you run a graphic design firm after all!
    Look for reasonably priced desktops with 4-8GB RAM, Intel or AMD quad core processors.  Stay away from discrete graphics, Photoshop uses GPU acceleration found on higher end video cards and it is useful.  Larger hard drives perform better than smaller ones because of areal density, so buy larger hard drives than needed (1-2TB drives with 500GB or larger platters) and run them in RAID1 for redundancy, because I doubt you have a storage area network.

  • Built-in iSight requires reboot before every use

    It seems that I can use my iSight immediately after a reboot, but once I sleep & rewake my computer or run other applications (vmware, imovie - pretty much anything) the iSight stops working.
    Now, I get that rebooting seems to be a solid fix for this...but seriously...most of the time I want to use my iSight it is just SO not worth closing out all my apps and restarting - it's faster to go dig up my digital camera, take a pic, and upload it. Half the reason I bought a mac was so I wouldn't have to restart all the time.
    The iSight disfunctionality is a HUGE disappointment that would have seriously made me question whether I wanted to invest in a mac or not, had I known upfront. Oddly, I took it for granted because camera's really aren't complex or cutting edge devices...how has Apple failed to fix this so far?
    Is there ANY way I can "unplug" and "replug" (eg, restart) my built-in iSight WITHOUT rebooting my MBP?
    Please advise
    Thanks

    I have reset the PMU twice and have reset PRAM (holding down apple-option-p-r at startup),I have also repaired disk permissions on my startup disk.
    I can get access to the built-in isight for photobooth and other apple applications but as soon as I try to enable it in VMWare Fusion it stops the VMWare machine (Windows Vista) from booting until I disconnect the iSight from VMWare.
    The iSight then disappears from the available hardware in VMWare Fusion (so I cannot reconnect it in Fusion) and I cannot access the iSight in any Apple application.
    I have Applecare... I think I'll see if I can get any help there.

  • SeqContextCVI - do I need it for every test?

    Assum there are 5 tests in the TS sequence.
    Assume that each of the test requires access to the TS.
    Question: Does every test has a different handle? and if so, I guess I must "handle" it to the CVI via a parameter like:
    void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall testNumLimit(CAObjHandle seqContextCVI, double *measurement,
    char reportText[1024], short *errorOccurred, long *errorCode, char errorMsg[1024])
    Will it work if I only do it in the first test, store the seqContextCVI as a global veriable and use it in the other 4 tests?
    Thanks
    Rafi

    Rafi -
    ActiveX/COM objects are reference counted, i.e. when the last reference to the object is released, the object is destoyed (memory deallocated).
    In CVI, an CAObjHandle represents a reference to an object. When TestStand creates a CAObjHandle parameter to pass to a code module, CVI adds a COM reference to the object. When TestStand releases the CAObjHandle using CA_DiscardObjHandle, CVI releases the reference.
    In a code module, if you want to maintain a handle that is passed to you and the caller releases what they pass, you must get your own CAObjHandle using the CVI function CA_DuplicateObjHandle. You are also expected to properly and timely call CA_DiscardObjHandle on the new CAObjHandle when it is no longer needed so the
    object can be destroyed correctly, otherwise you have the potential for a memory leak because objects are no being released.
    The problem with placing the object in a global is that you need to make sure that the release is done. If you are expecting a step later in the sequence to do it, what happens if the step is not called because of a error or a termination in the sequence?

  • How can I set a passcode that is only required at certain times of the day. Ie: my child needs access for school use, but don't want her playing iPad in the middle of the night. I cannot identify a way to have the iPad turn off or require a password

    I cannot find a way to enable my child's iPad to require a passcode only at certain times of the day.
    Yes I have used the clock/timer/ countdown - great to restrict how many minutes of iPad usage they get a day.
    But as my child requires the iPad in school for class lessons the usage at school varies maybe 30 mins 1 day and a few hrs on other days
    I want the ability to say set the iPad to not work between say 7pm and 7am, ( unless a passcode is entered) so my child isn't playing games on it in the middle of the night...
    Apple I cannot see anything in the settings that performs this function
    Help

    You can Remote Lock his iPad with Find My iPad using a computer at whatever time you like.

    Note: The iPad may be disabled if he tries the passcode too many times.

  • Need TCL for the "Use Global Names" checkbox when creating Location(s)

    We have a TCL script that creates OWB locations as part of our automated install and build process. Recently we switched to using GLOBAL NAME = TRUE on our databases (to implement Oracle Streams). In order to create a location and successfully register the location in the GUI, we need to manually check the "Use Global Names" checkbox and then enter the fully qualified name to successfully connect and register. We need to be able to code this into our TCL scripts to get this location creation and registration done programmatically, but we've reviewed the API coding guide and found nothing. So far, our SR on Oracle support hasn't turned up much either.
    Just wondering if anyone else out there has had any success with locations with Global Names enabled, using TCL...?
    And it's: OWB 10gR2.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    From my installation script which deals with databases with both global names settings:
           if [string match TRUE $dbGlobalNames] {
               OMBCREATE LOCATION '$DATA_LOCATION_NAME' SET PROPERTIES (TYPE, VERSION, DESCRIPTION, BUSINESS_NAME, HOST, PORT, SERVICE, CONNECT_AS_USER, PASSWORD, DATABASE_NAME) VALUES ('ORACLE_DATABASE','$DATA_LOCATION_VERS','ERS Datamart Code User','$DATA_LOCATION_NAME', '$DATA_LOCATION_HOST','$DATA_LOCATION_PORT','$DATA_LOCATION_SRVC', '$DATA_LOCATION_USER','$DATA_LOCATION_PASS','$DATA_LOCATION_SRVC' )
           } else {
               OMBCREATE LOCATION '$DATA_LOCATION_NAME' SET PROPERTIES (TYPE, VERSION, DESCRIPTION, BUSINESS_NAME, HOST, PORT, SERVICE, CONNECT_AS_USER, PASSWORD) VALUES ('ORACLE_DATABASE','$DATA_LOCATION_VERS','ERS Datamart Code User','$DATA_LOCATION_NAME', '$DATA_LOCATION_HOST','$DATA_LOCATION_PORT','$DATA_LOCATION_SRVC', '$DATA_LOCATION_USER','$DATA_LOCATION_PASS')
           }Addding a value to the DATABASE_NAME property lets OWB know that this a case where GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE as you wouldn't populate that value otherwise. OWB then will check that checkbox for you.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Sat 3000-601: Needs BIOS for Linux using

    hi
    I`m searching for a newer or older BIOS for my notebook.
    With the 2.30 TRAD Version, I don`t get the nvidia card to work properly with linux, and with the original BIOS it did.
    Perhaps there is a diffent solution for this problem, but I like to test it with an old version.
    So can anybody tell me where to download it!?
    Thanks, Florian

    hi Richard
    the problem is that, that when the x-server starts the display goes totally black (including the backlight of the display) and that the notebook freezes when I exit the server in any kind (console switching, or when I shutdown) and with certain GLX funktions, used by 3D applications ( I haven't investigated which exactly, because I can't, becouse of a lack of knowledge and becouse the notebook is dead at this point.
    So I first tried some tipps from the Nvidia installatoin guide like not using a rivafb-fram-budder-device, or trying some boot options to disable ACPI or to force that the IRQ's are not allocated by the BIOS (which didn't work at all, there where still 5 devices, which shared IRQ 10 and at last I tried so force the Nvidia-module to use its own AGP-device instead the AGPgart-driver in the original kernel.
    But nothing helped.
    Bye Florian
    P.S. I thing ACPI is still buggy within the new BIOS Version

    First, that question is really not clearly asked. Second how could it be urgent ? You even did not tell us your Oracle version, did not show any tables descr, output sample nor any effort on your side to work on.

  • I purchased the 5s yesterday and wanted to dock the phone into my Bose Sound Dock that I use for my IPOD and used for my previous Apple smart phone.  What steps do I need to take to use the feature of Pandora on this IPOD dock

    I purchased a Apple 5s yesterday replacing my two year old Apple 3G.  With my old phone I used it to dock into a Bose Sound Dock to listen to Pandora and other music outlets.  The Bose dock also is used to play my IPOD.  What steps do I need to take to use my new phone on this dock to continue playing Pandora

    This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

    I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
    1) Installing iBooks on your iPhone via iTunes on PC/MAC
    2) Adjust the time of your iPhone to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
    3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
    4) Open iBooks on your iPhone, download any 1 book
    5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
    6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
    7) Done!
    I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.
