Apple TV - Power on and off

I do I turn the Apple TV on and off? Or do I just keep it on 24/7?

I don't believe it's meant to be turned on and off. Do you think Apple just forgot to put an on/off switch in the unit? I don't. Neither do I believe you're supposed to put it "standby" mode when you're done for the day. Otherwise Apple would have stated, explicitly, that you should do this. They didn't. As for the case getting hot, yes it does. In fact it's supposed to. The top of the unit is the heatsink. Heatsinks get hot, that's what they do. You don't turn off your cable modem at night or your router for that matter. I'd just plug it in the wall, make sure nothing sits on top of your new toy and enjoy.

Harmony One/ Apple TV Power On and Off

I have my Harmony One working great with my Apple TV 2, except for the Power on/off. All other commands work perfectly. I can't figure out how to get the Harmony One to control this pretty major function, so I need my Apple Remote handy in order to turn the Apple TV on when it's gone to sleep. I know I could just set the Apple TV to never go to sleep, but I'd rather have the Harmony One control this. Any ideas?
Thanks!

If you have the ATV2 defined as a 'Mac Mini' computer in the Logitec software (as I do), then the select button sleeps AND wakes the device.

Is there an App for turning the power on and off with the Iphone 5 as my button has stopped working

No. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. If you're still within the warranty period and a hardware defect is identified, the phone will be replaced without charge.

from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

iPhone apple logo goes on and off and is unresponsive

It needs to be dried out. Stop using it.. don't turn it on. Put it in a zip lock bag with some rice or one of those packets of dessicant for a day or two. That might do it.

Lenovo A328 - Scheduled Power On and Off

I got my A328 recently and I used the scheduled power on and off to have my phone to power off at midnight and turned on at 7am in the morning everyday.
While the power off works perfectly, but I found that power on got problem. Some days it just didn't powered on as scheduled.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advanced!

The button at the top is actually the sleep / wake button. To power the device off completely (something you need not do except maybe during takeoff and landing), press and hold the sleep / wake button for approzimately 5 seconds then follow the on screen directions.
Just pressing and releasing the sleep / wake button turns off the screen and puts the iOS device in sleep mode.

Ipod classic try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.

Ipod classic I try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
I can't reset and it doesn't show it charging. Not recognized by computer.
It was working just fine in my car, I stopped for an hour, and when I came back it just started the flashing thing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset it this way.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If it is still not working.
Then Restore it using iTunes
Good Luck!

Apple Logo turning on and off on screen!!

My screen keeps having a apple logo turning on and off..
My screen is firstly 'non-lit' then 'lit' in bout 10secs.
Is this what u call a backlight?!
If so, how can u turn it off?
I cnt even acess any files.. or listen to music.
I tried resetting my ipod over and over again.. But it did not respond.
I just had my ipod for less than a day.. How unlucky!

Like the other two individual's i too am having this same issue. The only difference is now this is the second faulty iPod Nano i have recieved. I am able to press the select and play button for 6 seconds and force it into disk mode, but if i return to regular status, the nano returns to the same state of blinking.
I've been through the steops of reseting and even restoring to factory, I can see the ipod on my desktop as well as in itunes but once i eject the nano, the screen either stay blank, or goes back to to blinking. How do i get my nano to be like a normal one like everyone else has, without anymore issues, bad enough having issues with apple care to transfer my apple care for the nano to this new one from the old faulty one i had.

How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide. If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

Apple symbol flashing on and off

Phone won't turn on and apple symbol flashing on and off

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. Restore with your backup.
5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it. (Try DFU Mode)
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Doesn't start, Apple logo blinks on and off.

My iPod Classic won't start. There's just a pale image of the Apple logo which blinks on and off. Plugging it into various USB ports has no effect.
Dying battery? (I've had the device for about a year only.)

Okay, here's something I found out: charging it with a power adapter instead of via the USB cable worked.
Question: why would charging it with the USB connection not work?

MacBooKPro, I can switch the power on and off, but booting takes for ever

I am a new Mac user and have had this machine for a couple of months and in the learning stage. Yesterday I had downloaded some mp3 songs and were trying to play them with itunes, individually they would open but i couldnt import them to the music library. I noticed the machine slowly and by this morning, it has crawled to a stop. I can switch it on and off, but when i switch it on, it takes a long while for the apple logo to come on and then it takes ages for the screen to appear and when i click on something it takes many more minutes for it to open. So in fact I am frozen out, since i cannot open anything...but the machine can be powered on and off.
do you think that there is a relationship between this freezing and the mp3 downloading and trying to play it with itunes?
what might this be? Can any one help me with some advice. The apple support is closed for the night so i cant even call them. Thank you so very much...

Hiya Ibncochini,
welcome to Apple discusions, if you can power your book on, can you open "Activity monitor"? (found in applications/utlities).
What may have happened, is that itunes is still trying to import the files. Now, also, whilst the threat of viruses is not as bad as on Windows PC's, I always scan my "new arrivals" (i.e. all files, even music files purchased from the apple store) with clamxav , which is a basic, but free;
But for the moment, I would not suspect anything harmful, other than that an application is trying to run something. (your logs should reveal, found in console )
Hopefully, your activity monitor reveals the offending application that e.g. takes all the processor power and you can click on it and "force quit" (from the Activity monitor menu).
It might also be a good idea to look at +verbose mode+ which will tell you what is happening during the booting up.
Any of the above any good?

Difference between an apple brand power cord and a knockoff power cord?

So I bought a RocketFish branded 30-pin to USB power cord for my iPod Classic because I had to throw out the other one for wear and tear. I went to the store earlier to pick up a new one. I usually shop at Best Buy for all electronics and accessories. However, I came across an Apple branded 30-pin to USB cord and a RocketFish branded 30-pin to USB cord and was confused as I usually am about certain products. I asked an employee what the difference is and she couldn't give me a straight answer. So my question is what is the difference between the two brands? i need one that will charge and SYNC?
I have used the Apple brand power cord before and have no complaints except the wear and tear is very easy to do if you aren't careful with it.

They are basically the same except one is made in a Chinese factory for Apple and is Apple-branded. The other is just a knock-off.
