Apple TV won't stay in standby

Whenever I put Apple TV on standby then exit and go to watch TV or a DVD within minutes the Apple TV has powered up again. It won't stay in standby mode.
Any suggestions?

Having the same issue. Holding play also no longer seems to work in putting ATV into standby mode, and now requires going to the menu selection. But as soon as another button is touched on my remote, ATV lights back up.

Apple tv won't stay connected to wifi

my apple tv won't stay connected to wifi. what's the issue?

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And in this case none were give. What is happening? Error message? Other WiFi devices have issues? It is actually losing the connection or is your streaming content just freezing?
Trying to do streaming video over WiFi is not a great idea. Even if you are using the really high end WiFi hardware it will never be completely solid. You really want to use a wired connection for that.

Lenovo T61 won't stay in Standby mode

Im running windows xp. my computer wont stay in stanby mode when i close the lid or click start, shut down, and then choose the standby option. When i click shut down the computer wont stay shut down. It just restarts. Basically my computer wont stay in standby mode or shutdown.
what could be the problem? and solution...?

Check your system logs in your Console application for clues to what is triggering it to come back on. USB hubs or something connection to the computer via USB or Firewire often cause this issue. Try disconnecting any external devices.

T61 WinXP won't stay in Standby or Hibernate

I have a T61 running WinXP that will not stay in Standby or Hibernate modes. Any time I force the computer to go into Standby or Hibernate, it enters the sleep state then immediately resumes.
Here is a list of things I have attempted:
- Updated drivers for video and network
- Disabled Intel AMT
- Disabled firewall and antivirus
- Disabled network cards to wake on LAN (both in the BIOS and in Device Manager)
- Nothing in the Event Log
- No processes are running when performing standby or hibernate
- Unpugged USB devices
- Disabled wireless (WiFi and Bluetooth)
- Created another local user account and confirmed the problem still exists
- Ran CCleaner for my temp files and registry clean
- No applications running when I attempt sleep mode
Other than reimaging the computer, is there anything else I can do? The symptoms started after I installed the DirecTV2PC software, which I have uninstalled.

I have the same issue. I've tried a number of things which I listed down below and they are in the order that I did them for the most part. The issues that I have are the laptop will not shut down from start menu, it'll shut down for a second then boot back up.
Running XP SP3 possibly downgraded from Vista Basic, I say this because it is a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop I got from work and has a Vista Basic sticker on the palm rest but running xp. Can't standby or hibernate, can only shut down holding power button for 4 sec. When I close the lid it will go into standby, (the indicators will go to the half moon, then will jump back to battery. Same goes for trying hibernate and shutdown from the start menu.
From all the options that I've tried, if I enabled them or changed any settings and the change didn't fix the issue, I reset the settings to what they previously were. I talked a network manager who had the same problem where he claimed to have fixed it with some registry settings that he can't remember which ones there were.
1) Checkdisk
2) Defragmenting HDD
3) Cleaned up Hard Drive of temp files
4) Can't properly shutdown from safe mode.
5) Uninstalled Alternative Input Type from Office 2003 (ctfmon.exe)
6) registry edited “powerdown after shutdown” to enabled
7) Unchecked “automatically restart” in system failure settings of startup and recovery in system properties.
8) msconfig: unchecked LPMGR in startup, unchecked thinkvantage registry monitor service in services.
9) Enabled AMT in bios. Changed thinkvantage power control to all modes, and enabled intel amt while cntrl+p options.
10) Reset all options in #9 to default.
11) Updated ACPI Power Management, Management Engine FW and Power Manager from Lenovo site.
12) Updated Bios, uninstalled power manager, uninstalled power management driver both with revo, used ccleaner to clean registry
13) Restarted and installed power management driver and installed power
Any other suggestions? I also tried shutting down without the battery and the laptop plugged into the wall but same deal. I'm trying to find a solution without 1) having to send the laptop into tech support for them to fix or 2) completely reinstalling the OS.
Thanks in adavnced for any help.

Apple tv won't stay connected after yosemite upgrade

After upgrading to yosemite non of my apple tvs (3 of) will stay connected.
I have upgraded everything as of the 1/12/14 and still no joy.
I have a good wifi connection so its not that!
I have try connecting by playing through the computer to the apple tv and that also drops out!
I have restarted everything and that didn't help!
I have even setup the apple tv as new to see if that would help, nothing!
I have installed the latest upgrade for yosemite which is supposed to be for connection improvement, which doesn't work either as my mouse still keeps cutting out.
I have even tried changing computers and going through my macbook pro ( also running the latest yosemite) and that doesn't work!
Does any body have any other ideas on what i could try?
Please help
Dave

Not sure what instructions you are referring to, regardless wifi is susceptible to interference. If your neighbour's network is using the same channel or if yours is not encrypted that will of course cause issues, which is a result of the network not the Apple TV. There are also many other factors that can cause interference.
It is working just fine for me and most users, and if you took it to another network you would see similar results. If you wish to resolve then proper troubleshooting needs to occur

IPod won't stay in standby mode

When I turn off the iPod by holding down the play button, it does go into standby mode, but only for a very short time.
But if it's off for more than a few minutes, it always restarts whenever I turn it back on, meaning it shows that apple logo for quite a while, and starts at the main menu.
It's not a huge problem, but I think it's very annoying, and I really miss the standby mode from my previous iPod (also an iPod Classic, it was sent to repairs and I got a new one back - if this one is faulty as well, I'm gonna be really ****** off with the quality of these products)

The alarm-clock might be turned on, try to turn this off.

S205 XP won't stay on standby, can't adjust screen timeout

A couple of weeks ago I bought an S205 without OS and installed my own copy of XP on it (SP3). I spent a long time trying to dual boot with Linux but the UEFI system seems to prevent this... I'm not tech enough to understand why, but I gave up trying after a week tearing my hair out.
Anyway, XP runs nice and quick now but I have 2 problems with it.
1 - When I put the computer in standby mode it wakes itself up sometimes for no reason. This happens even when there are no applications open.
2 - The screen turns itself off after 1 minute. I have installed Lenovo Power Management, and no matter what the settings are in this, the screen ALWAYS turns itself off after 1 minute. Checked in Windows Power settings, but the Lenovo software seems to override these.
Any help or advice much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, this detailed decription of settings LEM for XP ...
seems that something gave a wakeup order...
be sure that nothing unusual is hidden in startup msconfig ...

6th Gen iPod won't stay in standby

I have a 6th gen iPod classic that I recently resurrected by installing a new battery. I also restored the firmware via iTunes after replacing the battery. I can pause playback and the backlight times out OK but it "wakes up" about 30 seconds to a minute later. This continues to repeat and drain the battery. I have tried forcing it into standby (holding play/pause) and engaging the hold switch to no avail. It seems that if I keep it docked to one of my speaker units it sits and charges and behaves. What could cause this?
Thanks,
Joe

Hello jfusco,
It sounds like something may have been misseated when you replaced the battery putting extra pressure somewhere on the inside of the iPod causing it to come out of sleep. Double check to make sure everything is as exactly as it should be. Not really much else for suggestions at this point.

Apple TV won't stay on file sharing, can anyone explain how to keep it connected ??

Having problems keeping Applet TV connected for file sharing, Will disconnect in the middle of watching a movie. Can anyone help
and tell me how to keep the two devises communicating??

Is it just when streaming photos or using home-sharing in general? Check istumbler (netstumbler for windows) to check interference. Also check firewall and anti-virus (if applicable), restart router/make sure it's up to date.

Apple Time Capsule Won't Stay Connected

After Verizon upgraded my router to the 9100EM my Apple Time Capsule Connects to the router but won't stay connected all the time. I have to go into router management console a couple of times a day and reboot it the restore connection. Time Capsule is connected to router by lan cable into port 1 of router. Time capsule set in bridge mode I believe. Just from time to time when I run Air Port Utility Time Capsule has green light but internet goes orange once i reboot I'm good for several hours then loses connection and have to reboot again. Tried looking for other settings to adjust but haven't found anything to help. If any body has any suggestions please help, it just gets old having to reset all the time

If you are using a Mac, which OS is installed?
Use Software Update to make sure you have all the latest updates.
Repair permissions.
Change your router (Airport) channel. Most times this all you have to do!

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
