Apple TV won't turn on.

I just got the apple tv and I hooked it up as said but all im getting is a black screen. I thought it was the remote so I got new batteries, didn't help. I hit the center button numerous times and i got a little white light once but it did nothing so I figured it wasn't the power. So then I tried to reset it, didn't work. I tried numerous HDMI cables, didn't help. I tried different HDTV's, didn't help. I think I have done everything that apple support has told me, but maybe someone can help me fix this please!?

Try connecting to iTunes and doing a restore

If that doesn't work I would suspect the unit and take it in.

  • Apple TV won't turn on, respond, or appear in iTunes after update-Help!

    The update didn't fully finish, I believe, and eventually I think the Apple TV turned off.  Now it won't turn on on respond in any way.
    I've tried plugging it into iTunes with micro USB, several times. Never shows up.  It doesn't light up at all no matter waht i do...  Whattt should I do?
    Thanks!

    Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
    If not already, try using a powered USB port.
    Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
    Repeat the process with another cable.
    Try restoring the Apple TV on another computer in another location.

  • Apple TV won't turn off

    Yesterday I did the latest update for Apple TV and know it won't turn off.

    I am at a loss for why this was done. I have never accidentally turned off my Apple TV. I use mine a lot for playing music through my stereo. After selecting my playlist, I press play and turn the TV off. I do not turn the TV back on before trying to turn the unit off. With this new 'feature', I have taken to just hitting pause and pulling the plug. The unit generates too much heat to leave in standby.
    it has been done as pressing and holding play/pause whilst playing media will bring up the playlist sub-menu.
    pulling the plug all the time will most likely result in your appletv having a shorter life-span, and may even trash your HDD if it doing something at the time when you pull the plug.

  • All of a sudden my apple tv won't turn on !!!

    Do you see a status light, have you checked the power source.

  • My Apple TV won't turn on after a problem with the power bar.  I've unplugged both cords and left an hour before plugging back in.  Any suggestions?

    you should definitely get a decent UPS to protect your investment.
    something like the APC Back-UPS ES 700 should suffice.

  • IPhone 6 plus stuck with apple logo, won't turn off!

    I got my new iPhone 6 plus today. I set it up as a new phone I couldn't restore from backup as I needed iOS 8.1 to restore the backup of my 5s.
    So after upgrading to 8.1 I reset my 6 plus to restore the backup and now its stuck on the apple logo.
    I can't turn it off to get it into recovery mode, I've tried holding the home and power buttons, the device appears to restart, after a few minutes it flashes on a red screen for a split second then its back to the apple logo. I've restarted multiple times and same thing keeps happening.
    iTunes won't recognise the device so I'm really at a loss to what I can do from here. Can't get into my local Apple genius bar until Wednesday and I'd really like it sorted before that.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Hi there thatgurlwho,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device isn't booting past the Apple Logo.

  • 24" apple display won't turn on

    I have a new Mac Pro with one GT 120 video card. I have a 30" apple cinema display hooked up to the dvi port and working fine, but when I connect my 24" cinema display to the mini display port it doesn't turn on. Doing 'detect displays' doesn't find anything, and nothing seems to show up in the display control panel. I've tried restarting. I know the 24" display works fine because Ive used it with my macbook. Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Just unplugging the 30" and plugging in the 24" doesn't seem to work. The 24" stays blank even if I plug in it's USB cable (the speakers on the 24" work when the USB is plugged in though!).
    Is it possible the mini video connector on my gt120 is bad? That seems unlikely since the rest of the card is working fine.
    Thanks

  • Blinking Apple Icon - Won't Turn On

    My iPhone 4 will not do anything except display a blinking apple screen. 
    When I connect it to the computer, iTunes does not even see it.  Please help!

    Hey aubiegal,
    Thanks for the question. The following resources provide information about the symptom you are experiencing:

    Make sure your iOS device is up to date. If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Resolution
    1. If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    2. If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    3. If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    4. If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
              1. If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
              2. Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
              3. If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
              4. If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
              1. Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
              2. If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
              3. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks,

  • Apple TV won't turn off after 2.2 update

    I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem after the new update.
    After updating to the new 2.2 software......I am now unable to turn the device off. I used to just hold the center button down for 5-6 seconds and it would turn off. I didn't want to leave it on all the time since I only use it once or twice a week. But now.......doing the same thing has no effect on it at all. Is this happening to anyone else ? I know a lot of people just leave it on all the time, and I guess I could do that as well. Hahaha.......... seems I don't have any choice now. Is this a new feature that comes with the 2.2 software ?

    Because of Genius and another feature, the ability to put the AppleTV into standby has changed. Either you can go to the main menu and press Play/Pause for 6 seconds (like you used to, but only works from main menu), or you can go into Settings where there is a new StandBy option that can be selected.

    Hello CournteyGould3,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV.  I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
    I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
    The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
    I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
    Thanks

    Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
    Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
    See if it will charge after this.

  • My iphone5s was accidentally disconnected while updating OS8.2 in my MacBook Pro and now it's stuck with an apple logo on its screen and won't turn on or off. What should I do?

    Connect to iTunes and restore. If you have difficulty, you may have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

    So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

    - I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod.  try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible
