Apple TV third gen. without connection (neither Wi-Fi nor Ethernet)

Well my issue is fixed, turns out the update with which cause my issue must have locked somthing up in the settings.
I spent some time with one of the support people which is level two or higher and we found that the ATV3 had IP address etc setting for ethernet even with no ethernet/wifi available. We restored the ATV3 several times and even went to earlier versions of firmware to try to undo this, sadly this failed and my ATV had to be replaced, Apple sent out a new one now all is good again.
I suggest you contact them and if you are able to get them to replace it for you.
I did also notice that the iTunes update that came out at the same time had a problem which may have cause this to happen in the first place.
Restore did not work unless you help option key while hitting the Restore.

Laptop and apple tv 2nd gen without wifi network

Hi experts, I need your help.
How can I share pictures and music without a wifi or wired network?
I have a laptop with wifi and apple tv 2 gen. I would like to connect apple tv and pc but I don't have a wifi or wired network.
I created a wifi network in "network and sharing center" in windows 7 (I see it on my cellphone), but I do not see it on the apple tv and I cannot connect.
Thanks a lot for your answers!

You need a local network setup to use home-sharing. You won't be able to access any of the other features without internet access.

How to pair a new remote for Apple TV First Gen Without the Old Remote?

We bought the first generation apple tv when it first came out. When we got it, it came with the old small plastic remote. A few years back we lost the plastic remote and decided to one of the new metal remotes but 1 problem. We can pair the new remote with the old apple tv without the old remote.
If anyone knows a work around to this problem... that would be great. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
There are no updates available for the AirPort

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Apple TV 1st Gen can no longer connect to wireless networks

My Apple TV (1st Gen) has recently lost the ability to connect to either of our wireless networks at home. I rean the diagnostics at the reset screen and the Apple TV says it is performing normally. In the settings, whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless network, I am now only offered "Other..." as a choice. Proceeding to the next screen, I enter the name of the network closest to the Apple TV -- an Airport Extreme set up for 5 GHz that this Apple TV connected with daily up until 2 days ago. The Airport base station is perfoming normally, as my MacBook Pro can see it and establish a network connection without any difficulty. The issue is limited to the Apple TV. I did a Factory Restore, and now when I go to Wireless Network > "Other..." > Enter the name of the wireless network" the resuit is always the same, and error message stating: "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)".
This message comes up almost immediately, without requesting a WiFi password -- suggesting to me that this Apple TV has lost the ability to connect to ANY wireless network due to a hardware failure.
Q: Has anyone else in the Support Community had a similar experience with their 1st Gen Apple TV, and if so, did you find a solution to it?
Note: When I first noticed the connction to this Apple TV had gone stale (greyed out in the iTunes Airplay Speakers list), and prior to doing the Factory Restore, I could play back iTunes content stored on the hard drive, but could not connect to the local wireless networks. I noticed that the Apple TV was running very hot -- it has alwasy run pretty hot to the touch.
If this Apple TV has died, I will get a 3rd Gen Apple TV, but wiill then have to work through the HDMI to Composite video + Audio issues, as this Apple TV is connected to our older (non-HDMI) TV.

Follow-up: Able to connect with ethernet cable, downloaded software updates, connected to iTunes, and synchec content.
Next, disconnected the ethernet cable. ATV1 froze and was restarted using the Menu + ( - ) combo on the remote. Re-ran diagnostics yeilds: Apple TV is working fine.
Restarted, then went to configure the Wirelss settings. Apple TV once again does not show either of the two wireless networks. Selecting "Other..." and entering the SSID yields the same immediate response:
"There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)"
No change on the wireless front :-( Bummer.
Looks like an ethernet connection is the only option left to continue using this Apple TV 1st Gen.
Thanks for your help. -- Paul

HT3199 connect iTunes on new macbook to apple tv 1st gen. library

On my formar macbook I had iTunes to synch with Apple TV 1st generation.
After upgrading to a new macbook pro with iTunes 11.0.3 I observe following problem:
1. on apple tv 1st gen. the library from my old macbook is there but in light gray, i.e. not connected to new macbook
2. when connecting new computer to apple tv 1st gen. it will create a new library (instead of connecting with existing library).
3. in iTunes, Devices Apple TV, only buttons "Settings" and "Photos" appear on top of window. "Music", "TV-shows" are missing.
How do I connect the two libraries, i.e. iTunes library on my new macbook with library on my apple tv 1st gen (last synched with my old macbook)?

AppleTV 1 was designed to sync with a single computer, but apart from untransferred purchases made on AppleTV, the sync was to AppleTv only.
You cannot make the new computer sync with AppleTV without removing the old sync connection on AppleTV under Settings>Computers. Doing this wipes the AppleTV of content tomprepare tobsync with a new iTunes library.
AppleTV1 also allowed streaming only from several computers other than the synced one - content will appear under My Shared Movies and so forth when the computer is on.
you really need to remove both computer entries from the Computers settings screen then re-add the new iTunes as a sync library.
Hopefully you have still got the old computer to allow you to copy media to the new one, or have copies of he media somewhere.
If most of your stuff was from iTunes Store then you should be able to redownload in iTunes.

I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking". Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.
Get help using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a good one,
