Apple TV stopped working

Suddenly my Apple TV (latest one purchased in Sept 2012) won't work. When I try to connect to radio, or play trailers or watch a movie, the little spinner keeps spinning, then tells me what I'm trying to watch is "unavailable. Try again later". It used to start working immediately, playing radio, etc. Now it doesn't seem to work at all. I tried resetting it - no effect. I tried downloading the latest software - downloading software is unavailable, try again later. What can I do?

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.

AirPlay mirror on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google conversation is started (iOS 7)

I thought it would be nice to see Skype contacts on the large screen and realised this should be possible using my Apple TV, but AirPlay (in mirror mode) on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google + conversation is started after showing all right on the TV till that point. I'm using iOS 7 and the problem occurs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. Facetime seems to be OK, and Skype works over Apple TV when using my daughter's MacBook Pro (though I haven't tried Google + on it), so I deduce that the issue is with iOS 7. I have had success one or twice with using Skype in this manner on my iPhone so it is not consistant, but this is rare and hasn't happened in my latest attempts. Unfortunately some of my Skype contacts don't have an Apple device so I often can't use Facetime.
Is there a work around, or has Apple acknowledged this issue and said there will be a fix?

Same problem here.
iPhone 5s + apple TV + Skype all are up to date. Mirroring is working until the video signal starts, after that the Apple TV goes back to the Apple TV starting screen.

My apple password stopped working

My apple password stopped working at iTunes Store -what do I do

Hi baxter@7058,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest signing out of your iTunes Store account from the Settings app on your iPhone. Then go to the My Apple ID website to see if you can log in with your Apple ID and password. You may need to reset it.

My wired Apple mouse stopped working for a short time. Trying to figure out why.

System OSX Version 10.9.5 Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 I was surfing the web & my mouse was stuck on the screen. Could this be some kind of virus- spyware or malware? Never had this happen before. The keyboard the mouse is connected 2 kept working but the mouse stoped working momentarily. I pushed F3 & unplugged my mouse & plugged it back in. this fixed it but I am not sure that had anything to do with what caused my mouse to stop working.

Could be the USB port within the keyboard may have a problem in sustaining
a good connection. Sometimes those extra ports in keyboard fail. You can
see in the hardware portion of the activity monitor software in OS X what is
visible to the system as part of the chained USB items attached to the Mac.
To have a known-good spare mouse, keyboard, and any cable extensions,
is always a fair idea for the sake of troubleshooting and to get past a failure.
I use powered USB hubs with my Macs; but plug the keyboard directly into
the computer so as to have few issues with cold startup keyboard shortcuts.
The mouse does OK plugged into the hub, and a hub positioned so it can
be accessed easier than ports on the back of the computer makes sense.
If there is another hardware issue, or odd software extensions or add-ons
in your main user account, you'd have to test for those possibilities. To
try a second account to see if the same kinds of applications make it fail,
or run the Apple Hardware Test in the main user account, may not take
into the result any software that you'd use when normally at the Mac.
Sometimes the wire to the mouse can get weak and fail near the mouse;
so when that happens, it's best to have a spare on hand, ahead of trouble.
On the other hand, software conflicts could cause a frozen mouse or any
kind of odd pointer activity.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT3180 Apple TV Stopped Working. Blank Screen.

Morning all.
My Apple TV has suddenly stopped working.
The TV is getting an input, but the screen is blank. Hard booting doesn't help. I've tried holding the handset 'menu' and 'down' button simultaneously - that brings the Apple logo onto the screen, but ti just goes blank again.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

I would remote it by connecting it by usb to a computer and restore the firmware using itunes
if that did not help then I would say the appletv had died and would require service or replacement
but of cause it would test with another tv to be sure before doing anything drastic

My apple tv stopped working

My apple stopped working, repowered, light comes on in front when you press remote buttom, nothing on TV

If it's rebooting it can take a LONG TIME of flashing the orange light and the Apple logo before you get a menu (to me it seems significantly longer than the initial setup). The Apple logo may even refresh a few times. When you did the unplugging thing, did you unplug ALL THE CABLES and let the machine rest for a few minutes? I had no problem w/ a blind remote reset and it did seem locked when restarting, but it just took a bit of patience.
I hope it works out for you!
Good Luck,

Apple earpods stopped working...

Hey
My earpods stopped working. Bought them on july and this morning the right earpiece didn't work properly. The sound was just so quiet that
i thought the whole earpiece was broken, but there still was some sound but still extremely quiet.
These are my third pair of headsets by apple and everytime it's the same problem. Im just confused cause they havent had any moisture or
damage.
It's not about the money but when i do happend to buy "quality" headsets i dont think that they will last forever but even for a year?!
Im just so ****** off and want to know what should i do in this case? The warranty in these are 12 months right? Bought these from the
apple online store so what's the next step that i should do to get these things working or a pair of new ones?
Thanks!

Make an appointment at any Apple store. See what the genius bar says/does.

Apple Push stopped working

Immediately on launching itunes I get the message Apple Push has stopped working and then itunes crashes. I've tried all the suggested fixes in the help file, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, no luck. What on earth is apple push and how can I remove or fix it?
I didn't even plug a device in or make any changes to itunes, it was working great until it just crashed out the blue. So frustrating, thanks for nayone who can help me!

I renamed C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\ASPDaemon.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\ASPDaemon.bak and the problem went away, it's probably because I had data in my User folder that conflicted, but I don't actually use an ipod, just like iTunes to manage my music and purchase new music, so air sync seems a bit redundant.
Hope this helps anyone who doesn't need to wifi sync.

Most of Apple apps stopped working!!!! HELP!

after I upgraded lion ro maverick, most of apple apps such as app store, terminal, calendar, etc stopped working, it is freaking me out, any one can help please?

I had this problem too (and with Mail).
Restart computer, then immediately hold down OPTION so you can start from the 10.9 RECOVERY DISK.
Run DISK UTILITY, then run REPAIR DISK, then run REPAIR DISK PERMISIONS.
After this, RESTART, then hold COMMAND OPTION P R at the same time until your computer restarts three times.
After it boots up, attempt to run your apps.

My apple password stopped working this morning and I had to reset it. Why did this happen?

When I got up this morning my apple password no longer worked and I had to reset it. Why did this happen? Do I need to be worried about my account being compromised?

Only other users here. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. We have no idea about why the password stopped working.

My apple tv stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote I see the signal gets to the Apple TV because the little light flicks but nothing else happens. Anyone know how to fix this??

My Apple TV suddenly stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote the light on the apple tv flickers but nothing else happens. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I had the same problem; Apple TV was working proper then for no reason I got the continuous blinking front LED. The Apple TV has no sound or video output at all. I tried reseting the Apple TV via my Apple remote controller but that didn't do anything for me. I finally called Apple and they told me that the way to fix my box is to reset the Apple TV to factory default. So I had to attach the Apple TV to one of my Apple computers and launch iTunes. Once iTunes was running it recognized my Apple TV and I clicked on the option to restore to factory default. After the restore my Apple TV now works properly. My final action on the Apple TV was to sign into my account and enter my password.

Apple Remote stopped working with Lion on iMac

My white Apple Remote does not work with Lion on my iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo anymore.
I'm sure it was working recently as I was able to control the volume on my RadioShark application. Now that doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get the remote to work with anything.
I've tried restarting my iMac, swapping the remote's battery, and using another remote but still no success. The only response I get is from the remote's 'Menu' button which, when pressed, toggles between two graphics on screen - one a four-way arrow indicator with a centre button, and the other what appears to be a Forward/Back, Centre button with corner indications for Expand/Shrink.
I've tried the 'Pair' option but pressing 'Menu' and 'Fast Forward' does nothing on screen - no sign of the chain-link 'Paired' symbol. Neither of the white remotes I tried is 'Paired' with the iMac.
It seems I must have done something to cause this but can't think of any change I made that could be responsible. I know Front Row is no longer accessible in Lion, but is there any other app I could test my remote on? Any kind of hardware reset needed? (unlikely, I know, with two separate remotes showing the problem).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm replying to my own question because my remotes are working again.
I'm not sure what I did to fix the issue, but I tried shutting down all open applications (I remembered that by default Lion re-opens with everything as it was). And shortly afterwards I got full functionality back for my Apple Remote.
I'm not sure what caused the issue. I did install Easy Timeline, which I'd downloaded today from the Mac App Store. It has Apple Remote functionality, so I'm not sure if it was in some way implicated. It's working now with my remote, as is iTunes, and RadioShark.
Weird!
