Apple TV unresponsive after 15 minutes in screen saver
Hi,
I have a 1 week old Apple TV. It works great until you leave the room. Then, after the screen saver kicks in for about 10 minutes, it will no longer accept commands from the remote.
The remote is unpaired, and I also tried my macbook remote on it, and that doesn't work either.
I have swapped batteries in the remotes, this didn't work.
The one intersesting thing is although I cannot get out of screen saver mode with the remote, I can hit Menu and - and reboot the apple TV.
The other issue is upon reset, it hangs on the Apple screen. The only way to succesfully reset is to unplug and leave it for at least 15 minutes.
What I have not yet tried:
1) Disabling the screen saver completely
2) factory reset
It was bought online through a third party retailer, so its not exactly as convenient as driving to the store. I'd rather exhaust my options before having to send it back.

When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".
Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

Computer Freezes After iPhoto Album Mosaic Screen Saver
After using the Mosaic screen saver, my Mac will freeze, therefore resulting in me having to perform a hard shutdown, and reboot my Mac. When my Mac turns back on and I log in, Crash Reporter reports that AdobeResourceSychronizer crashed. The log is found with in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ This occurs approximately once every 3-5 days. The only Adobe software I should have installed is:
Reader
Flash
Shockwave
I switched my screen saver about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I switched it to Spectrum today. Should this solve the issue, or should I check for Adobe junk installed on my computer, or both?After using the Mosaic screen saver, my Mac will freeze, therefore resulting in me having to perform a hard shutdown, and reboot my Mac.

Why does apple tv play my photos randomly in screen saver mode when random is not selected
why does apple tv2 play my photos randomly in screen saver mode when random is not selected?
Thanks for that.
Random is not selected in transition or anywhere else. Unless I am missing something in the settings.
So why is it playing my photos ramdomly in screen saver mode ? -
I thought that this was caused by the Energy Saving setting in Preferences, but I reset the shut down time to "Never" and it continues to happen. Is there some other setting that I need to change?
Go to;
-System Preferences
-Security & Privacy
-Firewall-Unlock to Make Changes
-Advanced
-Untick 'Log Out After XXX Minutes of Activity or Enter a Figure of Maximum Minutes You Think You Will Use Your Apple TV
-Click OK
-Relock

IMac to Apple TV 2nd gen music distortion with screen saver on.
I have an ATV2, mid 2010 iMac dual core i3, Airport Extreme 3rd generation router.
After Wednesday's update to Apple TV to implement the new user interface, I get distorted playback when initiating music playback from iTunes on the iMac as soon as the screen saver starts. It sounds like the old vinyl records when the needle skips. It isn't, oddly enough, timed with the screen changes. It occurs at ever increasing frequency, from 24 to 19 to 16 seconds.
If however, you access the iMac through the Apple TV interface, the screen saver start up does not create any interference. It doesn't matter whether the music is started using the Apple remote control or the iPhone 4S interface. Both work fine.
So it's a one way situation. When you start playing music from iTunes on the iMac, interference and distortion start with the screen saver, but if you start playing music from the Apple TV, there is no distortion or interference from the screen saver.
Any one else have this problem and a solution?Based on an Apple Care suggestion, the solution to this problem is to reset the Apple TV completely. This is under Settings- General- Reset-Restore.
Restore will erase previous versions of the Apple TV software and will download and install a current clean version. You do have to re-enter all your configuration settings, such as wireless network password and your iTunes Account.
A little bit time consuming but it eliminated the problem. -
When the screen saver is on appears an message where ask me to choose between my wi fi network or my Apple Tv in order to get the signal from my PC. There is something I must do to set up the Airplay, if so, what I have to do and where?
If you are talking about the header bar of the Message Pane the only way to get rid of it completely is to close the message pane by pressing F8.
There is a add on called Compact Header that will let you make it smaller.

I do not think this forum lets you post an image on the original post. I have not tried it but lots of people have trouble doing it. -
I set a specific screen saver in the preferences file, after a reboot, random savers box is always checked. Also when I move items to the side bar they stay there until a start-up after which they have disappeared.
Thx ALI think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
IdleActionSec=9min
IdleAction=suspend
Will check it and report back. -
