Apple TV to my regular home TV help

Just installed Apple TV. Now I don't get how to go back to watching my regular TV.
What do I press to get back to normal TV ?
Cheers, Penni

At the top of my TV remote it says Aux - TV - Cable - Power - Setup
I have pressed the Input button but the TV set doesn't turn back to regular programing. Stays on Apple TV.
Then I pressed the word TV and input. Nothing happened.
Then I pressed Cable and input and still nothing happened.
It stays on Apple TV.
Confusing yes ?

I used to update my iPhone 4S applications whenever a new update is available, but at this time, "unknown error" displays after entering my apple id password. Anyone who could help, whom they might have experienced? Thanks

Hi Christianjr,
When you say you reset your network settings, what do you mean, exactly?
I saw another post on this issue, and the poster indicated that they resolved the problem by turning off their cellular date option and wifi options in Settings, and then turned them back on.
Also, resetting your phone may help - press the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once it is back up, click on the update option and see if it fixes the problem.
If none of those things work, then need to have details on what you did to reset your network settings....

Home sharing is not working in apple tv after upgrading apple tv to 4.2.2. I've had apple tv working just fine for some time now and after upgrading, it stop working and prompts me in Apple tv to turn on home sharing in Itunes. It's on.

It asks me, in apple tv when I go to my "Library" to turn on home sharing. It's on. When I turn it off and back on I can access my itunes stuff fine for a day or two and then it doesn't work again. I've tried unplugging appletv, reboot the router (att uverse), and then plug in apple tv again and it doesn't help. it's still give me the message. the only thing that works, temporarily, is to turn off home sharing and turn it back on.
I'm using itunes version 10.5.0 on windows 7. can someone help me with this? I can't run up and down the stairs all the time. I have bad knees and other conditions that stop me from doing that. Please help.
Thanks.
Jim.

Hey all,
I've been having similar problems so I put a packet analyzer on the network to see what's really happening. (Apologies in advance if this post is too techno-babbly...)
Some background:
How do Apple devices find each other over the network?
iTunes with home shaing turned on sends out a message to a special IP address called a multicast (224.0.0.251, in this case.) All your Apple devices listen to this multicast address and respond over that same address. This process applies to iTunes, AppleTV and Apple Remote at least (those are the things I've been testing with.)
How do Apple devices communicate with each other once they're found?
Once they find each other, they establish a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication session. This connection is only between two devices. In this case, iTunes and AppleTV or Apple Remote and AppleTV. The TCP session is how data gets transferred between devices.
The problem:
I captured the protocol traffic between my PC and AppleTV first with the firewall software turned off. In my case, I use Norton 360. What I see is iTunes and AppleTV communicating over the multicast address every 100 seconds. My iTunes usually 'disappears' from AppleTV and the Apple Remotes within about 5 minutes so I left the firewall off for half an hour and everything worked fine. I turned the firewall software back on and then restarted everything. iTunes then did the device discovery and all the devices found each other. Then, after a period of about five minutes of inactivity, the multicast discovery protocol stopped being sent by my PC. Why? I really don't know. From watching the apple protocol's timing, contents and behavior, I see nothing wrong with the implementation. I've done troubleshooting on other location-based multicast protocols for work and have seen some dumb things but Apple's protocol is done correctly and behaves exactly as I would expect.
The solution:
I put a rule into my firewall software explicitly allowing the multicast IP address and also the local subnet that my devices use. I then moved the new firewall rules to the top of the list to ensure that they will be 'hit' before any of the other rules in the list. After that, I left the firewall on and tested for a while then left everything idle for an hour. When I came back, everything still worked. I would suggest that replacing your firewall software won't necessarily help you here. You just need to make sure that the rules for the Apple stuff are put in manually and are at the very top so that another deny rule in the list doesn't trigger before the new permit rules. Hopefully it goes without saying but doing the above leaves your PC completely wide open on the local network so, if you use wireless, please be sure to use encryption on it.
Hope that helps...

Hi richardwilliams51,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet using your Apple TV, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps in this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If that does not completely fix your Apple TV, you may need to restore it, using this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Unknown "source"? Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

Follow the instructions in the article. When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

My iPad mini has recently begun to restart itself at random intervals, like on the lock screen or while in YouTube. Before it reboots itself a few faded lines jut across he screen, then it goes black, and the apple logo appears, and it resets. Help?

It is severely frustrating

Hello, Crazyrz1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue. These steps are labeled for the iPhone, but they will apply to your iPad as well.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
If the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush
