Apple tv not working

apple tv not working - message NO SIGNAL  for this plasma. Was working before. Major difference a download from itunes 4 g movie yesterday. I have tried rebooting the apple device more than once. Switched off all plugs,checked all plug positions.  Can anybody help please? Australia. Maggie.APple tv oroblem

Good morning Winston.
thanks.
i eventually  found a one-liner in THE APPLE MANUAL which fixed it.
i.e.  Resetting the APPLE TV.   The instruction was to use the silver small operating APPLE device,
HOLD DOWN THE MENU BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AS THE  BLACK DOWN BUTTON UNTIL THE WHITE LIGHT ON THE  APPLE TV STARTED BLINKING RAPID  WHICH IT DID. I then released the pressure ON THE BUTTONS and  within a few moments, the TV screen cleared and it started working again.
The interesting part is that I had thought a reset of the APPLE TV may have taken place when it was unplugged. BUT NO IT DID NOT.
Also, there was much helpful comment in the forums but not this simple solution which I found ON the WEBSITE APPLE MANUAL.
HOPE THE  ABOVE IS CLEAR ENOUGH TO HELP OTHERS. Maggie 3/1/2015

  • Apple remote not working

    My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

    Hi Focus,
    I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
    I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
    While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
    I hope help somebody.

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

    Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

    Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

  • Why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

    why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

    When is it asking for it ?
    If you are updating from iOS 7+ to 7.0.4 then did you have Find My iPod enabled on it ? If you did then it might be asking for the password for your account when you set that 'on'.

    Why is my Apple ID not working after I've reset it? After I change it the password icon pops up and I type the new password in and it says it's wrong? What's happening

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My apple ID not working in Apple Store.

    My apple ID not working in Apple Store, in iTunes work fine and with my iPhone work fine too but in my iMac only works in iTunes, App Store and iCloud say "Incorrect password or username", I reset my keychain with the same result. My OS is 10.7.4
    In my iPhone I can acces to App Store, Itunes and iCloud but in my iMac only work in iTunes and online iCloud (icloud.com), the App Store and iCloud system say "Incorrect password or username" and never can loging.
    My Apple ID its confirmed and I buy in iTunes perfect...
    Please help, I have this problem for a long time...

    This is quite strange, as MAS is really the same store as iTS. It's the same account.
    This issue has to be something else going on with your system, and not at the Store's end.
    How about make a new user account for testing. And see what happens when you try to use your Apple ID through there.

  • Apple TV not working with new softwear iOS 7, Apple TV not working with new softwear iOS 7

    Since updated softwear on iPad to 7.0 Apple TV not working?

    I had a similar issue, without the actual error message. If you can't get it running at all, you will be forced to do what I, and many others have done over the past 24 hours. You can restore your Apple TV to factory settings (you will then have to enter your ID, passwords, etc., to connect everything again--sigh--) by obtianing a Micro-USB cable (found one today at Best Buy for 5 bucks, available other places that sell electronics, etc.) disconnect your Apple TV, and connect it via the micro usb cable (which attaches in the back of the ATV) to your computer, plug the ATV power cord into the wall and open iTUnes. You can click the Apple TV on the left side of iTunes and click restore--it will not take too long on a decent internet connection, and it will automatically install the software update (you have no choice on this, BTW, you can't go back to the previous software, as Apple only supplies the new software online (sadly).  Your ATV 3 should work and you can put it back to your TV and re-enter all your info and enjoy the new features. But if you are like me, you won't enjoy AirPlay, something seems to be wrong with that if you use an iPhone or iPad and have updated to IOS7--not sure which is the problem, or both, but be prepared for a little more frustration, but at least your ATV 3 will "work" mostly as it did before.
    I hope this helps, it is frustrating, but it is resolveable with a little bit of time--not that I'm happy about it, either.

  • Apple maps not working on iMac

    apple maps not working on iMac the little thing just keeps turning

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Maps.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

    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.

  • Apple verify not working?

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to reset the password for my wifes Apple ID, but the verification link in the email sent out by Apple is not working. I've tried all the different browsers and even on an old PC without any Apple software installed, but sadly no success.
    The link when followed looks like this:
    http://%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20https://iforgot.apple.com/verify/email?key=267071 4ab0834f935fb3dfbafadf2d3430f42d4fd4b4d77baceef56e1d2f2f0bf34ebc33ccc6e1e42b8cab 701d54ed0190581234c3dec7375671e765e4257ac282d403e19e1f6d14f2b22c0e18407cc1f34ebc 33ccc6e1e42b8cab701d54ed01&language=SE-SV
    Chrome tells me it's a dead end.
    Can anybody help?

    Ok, so here's the deal: it worked for me using the Reset Password function on the iPhone. So instead of trying to do it on your Mac, try your iPhone (in the settings for iTunes and App Store).
    Regarding the problems on the Mac, the Apple support suggested to clear all cashe and cookies in the browser and order the Reset Password email again. Don't know if that will work though.
    Thanks randers4 for directing me to the right support page

  • Apple tv not working asking to hook up to usb

    apple tv not working. asking to hook up usb.

    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)
