Apple TV Turning TV Screen Black and Freezing

My 40GB Apple TV has been relatively trouble-free until a month ago. My TV is connected to Onkyo 705, which is connected to Apple TV via HDMI. The receiver output to my TV via a HDMI cable.
I've since rebooted Apple TV to no avail.
Issue 1) My TV will screen to turn black without any sound for a few seconds, either during movie playing or menu browsing. Apple TV will normally resume after the "flashing".
Issue 2) Freezing. Sometime the silver Apple logo will be showing when I turn on TV, and the screen is stuck there with the logo. I had to power down and power up to regain control of Apple TV.
I can't really take my Apple TV to Apple Store. My 3-year old son will go nuts, besides the problems seem to be intermittent and no guarantee that Apple TV will behave the same in the store.
Any one has any suggestion?

I think I may have found the cause for my Apple TV's "pausing" problem. Overheating!!!
I had my Apple TV stacked on top of set-top box for my TV, and last night I accidentally touched the Apple TV and it is HOT like a toaster. I have since move it side-by-side with other component, and it hasn't "paused" yet.
I hope this solves the "pausing" issue, and hope this helps other users.

- Try a reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.

MBP 13" Screen Flickers and Freezes After Upgrading HDD

Hi There,
I have seen on here and a few other forums that people are having issues with graphics cards or overheating that is making the MBP screen flicker and freeze.
Mine has been fine until yesterday when I installed a new Seagte 1tb HDD. It works ok, but every now and then the screen starts to flicker, half of it goes black and the system freezes. Sometimes it's just for a few minutes, but sometimes I need to do a hard reset by holden the power button down for 5 seconds.
Here are the details:
MBP 5,5 13" (2008 I think - Can't remember)
Boot ROM Version:
MBP55.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system):
1.47f2
Version 10.6.8
2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8gb 1067 Mhz DDR3 (Just upgraded, but before the hard drive and no issues)
1TB Seagate Momentus SATA HDD
As mentioned, I upgraded the RAM a week or so ago and it has been running fine. I put the new hard drive in last night and after a few hours, the flickering started.
I cloned the hard drive using SuperDuper and it all started up fine.
So far, I have verified and repaired permissions, checked SMART status and run a SMART Utility diagnostic. All comes back ok.
I cleared the PRAM and installed smcfan control as another forum with similar issues said it was a overheating problem and running the fan control program should fix it. I did that at 8am this morning and it has run great all day. Come 5.30pm, the flickering started and then it froze.. GREAT!!!!
It's so frustrating, I was really looking forward to having my MBP upgraded and running fast again.
Any ideas or tips would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

set old HD. If problem will gone - you have weakened power supply or internal power converters. Yours new HD draw more power during spinup or something - so voltage on internal bus lowers and memory or videocard freaks.
5.30 PM looks like a time when there begins a lot of load on city energy grid - so voltage in wall socket goes a bit unstable, it may also add to problem.
if problem is gone when you are on battery power - its power supply. If it persists or get worse when on battery - its internal power convertors.

Try these steps as needed:

2. Restore to factory settings:

3. Get warranty service from Apple in the country where the phone was purchased

Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

I've seen that happen sometimes. For me, pressing the lock button to lock it, and then pressing the home button to get to the lock screen reverts it back. If that doesn't work, just move your brightness slider lower and then higher again.

How do your turn off the "black and White" setting for the visually impaired?

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

Screen turns black and freezes up on my nano.

I have a 2nd gen nano. When I turn it on at first everything is okay. Then if I turn it off and turn it back on again the screen flickers and then turns black (still illuminated though). I have to hold the menu and center button at the same time until it resets. I've done all of the troubleshooting including restoring it back to factory settings and it still is doing this. Anybody know how to fix this? TIA!

Which OS X is installed?
