Apple tv not working just showing apple icon on tv screen

apple tv not working tv screen just showing the apple icon

Hi spirogro!
I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your Apple TV:
Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
If you can see a picture but Apple TV isn't responding
Note: If the Apple TV status light does not flash white when you press a remote button, the issue may be with the remote. In this case, go to the the "If the remote isn't working" section below.
Press and hold Menu on the Apple Remote to return to the Apple TV main menu.
Reset Apple TV by unplugging it from the power outlet, waiting about five seconds, then plugging it in again or by pressing and holding Menu and down / scroll on your Apple remote.
Power off your TV, wait five seconds, then power it back on.
Make sure your TV is functioning correctly. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • The camera on my phone does not work, just shows the shutter.

    I tried resetting the device and even restored from a backup but no luck.  I've even tried installing another camera app but still can see.  Anyone know if I can just walk into a store and get this sorted?

    Make Genius reservation to avoid long wait and take to Apple Store, this will be resolved under Warranty.

  • Youtube Post comment & Load more videos buttons will not work, just shows vista loading ring and does nothing

    I have been having this problem since last November.
    When attempting to post a comment on a video in youtube when I click on the post button the button turns grey and then I simply see the Vista loading ring. I can wait hours or even leave my computer over night however it never successfully posts the comment.
    I am logged in to my youtube account and was able to post comments prior to November.
    I am currently using Firefox 20.0.1, I have attempted disabling all of my add on's with no effect.
    I have an additional issue which I believe is related due to the similarities.
    When browsing youtube videos from any channel the "Load more videos" button does the same thing.
    for example the following page http://www.youtube.com/user/BdoubleO100/videos?view=0
    if I scroll to the bottom and hit load more nothing will happen, as such I cannot browse to older videos.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I HAVE AN IPHONE 4 I TURNED IT OFF AND NOW I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WILL NOT WORK ONLY SHOW THE APPLE ICO

    Can anyone help me how to make my iphone 4 work I turned it off and now I turned it back on and it does not work it only shows the APPLE icon on the screen it has being like that for past 9 hours.... HELP PLEASE

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. Usually takes less than 15 seconds of holding both buttons.
    If you decide your iPhone is not working properly, and you decide to Restore your iPhone Firmware then do this. Open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • My iMac turns on the start up chime sounds, you see the apple icon on the screen and then it just shuts off.  Any ideas?

    My iMac turns on the start up chime sounds, you see the apple icon on the screen and then it just shuts off.  Any ideas?

    Do these two resets:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    Was it just this one time?  Could be that you, or your mom, were experiencing network problems.  Try again at a later time.

  • I bought my iPhone5 4 months ago and now the camera is not working, it only displays black in the screen. I've tried reset, restore for how many times but still the problem is not being resolve. Any help from you Apple team?

    There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum.  When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
    If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

    Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
    You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi! What should i do??

    My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi!

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hi Jamalzoal,
    Dose your computer have the most recent iTunes on it? When you connect the iPad 2 to your computer what happens? dose iTunes tell you the iPad need to be restored?
    p.s. you post this question in the Apple Remote Desktop community. You would probable have gotten more an fast responses if you posted this in the iPad community.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace
