Apple TV stuck on What's New or Verification Required screen after v5.1 update

After updating my 2 Apple TV 3 to v5.1, my Apple TVs no longer respond to remote commands though I do get a blink response from the boxes when selecting. The atvs periodically blink, the screens go black and return me to the screen that was up when it went black. In one case, it's the What's New screen. In the other, the Verification Required screen. I only got to the Verification screen by a lucky remote recognition after unplugging the atv and plugging it back in.
I have not tried restoring from iTunes. Cannot locate any of my microUSB cables. Any suggestions or solutions?

I have this problem too.  It actually seems like the "What's New" screen is in front of the regular menu/navigation.
My original remote broke, and I've been using the Remote app.  If I swipe left and right, i can hear the clicks.  If I press to select, it sounds like I might be choosing an item from the menu... which I can't see because the "What's New" screen is in front and won't go away!

  • My Apple TV after latest upgrade is stuck on "what's new".. Help

    I have already posted on other forums and apple has not yet fixed... What is taking so long!  My Apple TV is constantly crashing and when it boots up is stuck on what's new..... Apple.... What's the hold up.. This product not important enough?

    EXACT same problem.
    Netflix, usually, will kick out after about 30 45 minutes, then will get stuck on "Accessing Netflix" for as long as you want to wait. We have to unplug the AppleTV 2, plug it back in. When it comes back up, we sit and stare at the "What's New" screen until the time we set for screen saver (5 minutes), kicks in, then we can control with the Remote App (lost the controller 2 years ago). If we use the Remote app, you can hear it clicking on things behind the "What's New" app until the the screen save kicks in, then you can "wake" it up and you will see the normal front browse page.
    Wait another 30-45 minutes, "Accessing Netflix", restart, wait at "What's New", etc... It is absolutely not our internet. Solid 24/7. I work at home connected to multiple VPNetworks throughout the day, lots of data moving back and forth, Never an issue.
    Beyond annoying. Agreed!

    No.  purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them.  Delete them and buy your own copies.

  • What is new for the Lumia 620 in the black update

    What is new for the Lumia 620 in the black update ?

    It seems Lumia 620 doesn't benefit the "double tap to wake", other than that all announced apps and features will be available. I advise to check also some great beta apps from Nokia Beta Labs, kudos to the guys developing these.

  • HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen stuck on apple screen after trying to update ios 6

    iPod 4th gen stuck on apple screen after I tried updating to IOS 6. It won't turn off or reset even after updating iTunes to latest version. My iPod doesn't show up when I connect to iTunes. HELP PLEASE!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I re-access the Mavericks "what's new" tour that popped up after installation?

    After Mavericks was installed I saw a notification inviting me to take a tour of "what's new." I couldn't do it immediately and can't find it now, but it looked more thorough than what can be found on the Apple website. Did I miss

  • When I start Firefox the Firefox "what's new" page pops up -- even after I answered the question and viewed the video

    Whenever I start Firefox I get my homepage and the Mozilla "what's new" page in tabs. It is annoying.

    Hi jhmalik,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Apple needs to see what is happening to the powerbook screens! A VIDEO!

    Go to this you tube address and watch what people have to deal with Apple because of the screens you placed in our powerbooks before you shipped them off to honest buyers!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ocjgk2SEQ
    and by the way Apple! Now the whole entire screen is gone! I hope that all the people suffering from this can bring this little problem out into the open.

    These are user-to-user discussions, which are only sometimes monitored by Apple. If you have a product concern, you should contact Apple directly.

    Hi jandroantonio,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

  • I updated Pages, and I can't get the "What's New in Pages" splash screen to go away.

    The "Continue" at the bottom is useless. *** Apple?

    Just close the app and relaunch it or close the app and reboot if closing alone doesn't work,
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Pages app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4972 my iphone is stuck at the activation screen after i've updated it, what do i need to do to get it to activate?

    Hi guys need help activating my phine it keeps telling me to try again as it could not contact server.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
    Then when you updated the phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it.

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen" after trying to update to iOS 7.0.4! Help!

    I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
    I have:
    -Restarted my computer
    -Updated iTunes to most current version
    -Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
    -Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
    -My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
    I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?

    I was able to restore my phone!!!
    I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
    Solution:
    After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
    I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

  • Iphone 4 is stuck in a power turning off and on cycle after trying to update to ios 6 (not on ios 6 yet) and Itunes wont recognise it =/ help's appreciated ;)

    I was trying to update my iphone 4 to ios 6 yesterday, and it got stuck on the apple screen as you turn it on. What's happening is that the phone is turning on, showing the apple symbol, staying on for around 8 seconds, turning off for about 1 or 2 seconds, then repeating. Itunes won't recognise it either. Any suggestions?

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iphone restarts. If still problem, open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore Button of iTunes.

If the little things matter I left "lauch iTunes" box unchecked after reinstallation. Any help apriciated guys, im desperet here.
