Apple TV Screen Flashing and Sound going out

I just bought an Apple TV 3rd Generation from a friend and just set it up. I open Netflix and start to browsing movies and playing them, the thing is that sometimes the screen starts flashing and the sounds goes off, or sometimes the screen keeps palying but the sounds goes off. I don't know if this has to do with my HDMI or with my WiFi network. Does anyone have any clue?

I have the exact same issue. Have also unplugged the unit - both HDMI and power. This seems to resolve the issue temporarily, but it comes back after time. The unit worked flawlessly for about the first 45 days. Not sure why it started to act up now. Nothing changed in terms of settings or equipment.

  • Screen flashes and then goes black after CPU load

    Yesterday morning I upgraded my MacBook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010) to OS X Lion. Since then I've been having issues while performing CPU-not-too-intensive tasks. Every once in a while my screen flashes for a split second and then turns completely black. The MBP is unresponsive so I'm forced to shut it down using the power button.
    At first i though this was a Lion issue. However, it has happened again just now while I was on Windows through BootCamp. I was checking my e-mail and performing some other mundane tasks for about an hour, and then while trying to copy some files to an external Hard Drive my screen flashed and went black.
    Hardware issue then??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's already happened 4-5 times right when I pressed Cmd+D to bookmark a site on Safari. What the heck? That isn't even a CPU load.
    Here's the error report:

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

    Reinstall OS X;
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Sound goes out on my iPhone

    SOund goes out on my iPhone 6, and it effects the Alarm as well.  Playing Solitary...there's no sound
    until I re-boot my phone.  Why?

    Hi there Wade,
    From what I gather, your iPhone 6 has an intermittent sound issue which you’re able to temporarily resolve by restarting your iPhone. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most sound issues like the one that you've described.
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • Ipod screen flashes and chirps ???

    I have a 20GB click wheel Ipod. Last night it just started to make a high pitch sound and then changed to a screen flashing and chirping sound simultaneously? The flashing and chirping continued and I could not do anything. It was basically frozen, then I connected it to the fire wire port and the apple logo appeared and it seemed to fix itself. The battery was dead, I don't know if that was a symptom. I restored the Ipod and I'm waiting to see if it happens again when the battery is dead. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Derek Skaalen!
    I'd get a replacement ASAP. That doesn't sound good.

    1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

    hi suman,
    i too faced this problem afetr updating it to new firmware,when i checked my application manager there was an application which opens only with the ZIP manager
    it was troubling me a lot when i switch off and ON the phone time and again
    Finally i did a RESET *#7370# the application was not reflecting in the App manager and the problem got resolved
    Hope this works out for u

    Yes, that will solve all problems and as well as your data. There are alternatives which I already mentioned here. You can search to find the answer, since it to complicate to do it again.

  • Sound going out rando

    I have a Xfi Fatalty card with Windows Xp pro sp2 and recently i keep getting my sound going out, sometimes i am watching a movie sometimes playing a game or just listening to music. I have the most recent driver and have even tried the one before it but it ends the same. I am getting tired of this happening cause the only way i have found to fix it is to restart my pc and just go on till it does it again. If anyone has had this problem and got it fixed pls tell me cause this is getting very annoying.

    I am still having the same problem even after upgrading to Vista 64 bit, does anyone know if the new drivers don't work for some cards.

  • Sound goes out of sync in playback, why???

    I have just bought the new MacBook Pro 13" with the i7 dual core 2.8
    and bought Final Cut X from the app store - Im playing around with some footage shot on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7
    Ive put in a few edits with transitions, some titles and added sound effects.
    In playback, the sound slowly goes out of sync!  After only about 10 seconds...
    The vision lags while the sound keeps going, there is some flickering, then its worse.
    If I pause playback, then resume it resets...
    Any ideas?
    cheers, David

    I have also experienced this.  Not on every video.  But on some videos.
    The sync slowly drifts.  Then hit pause and then play, and sure enough, the picture and sound are back in sync again.
    This tells me that if you export ("share") the movie, the sound will be fine (it was for me).  But it is unnerving to preview your work and see and hear the picture and sound drift out of sync like that.
    I don't know the answer of why it happens (or how to remedy it), but my hunch is it has something to do with either not enough memory (or processing power), or a slightly underpowered video card.  Just a guess.
    I guess in any of those cases, the remedy would be to upgrade to a more powerful computer.  :-(
