Apple TV3 turns off and on when using remote, already reset and restarted.

Apple TV just started acting up yesterday. When using remote, light on Apple TV would turn off and on so it would somewhat work when the light was on and would not when light when off. When light is off and in a menu selection, cursor would just move to the end of the list and stop. Already restored back to factory and reset it. Difficult to program after reset when remote only works part of the time when the light goes on so stuck in out of the box condition. Any help on this? Thanks!

How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

Hi Guys and Girls
I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
captivate movie...
on(release){
stopAllSounds();
_root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
problem?
How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
the captivate navigation bar?
(The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
within the flash file)
Cheers

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

How to totally turn off data traffic when using ma...

Nokia N8-00:
I only use the integrated gps and have turned off the assisted gps, net based gps and Wi-Fi/Network but when accessing maps it still generates data traffic.
Normally this is´nt a problem but when traveling abroad data traffic costs a small fortune.
In my old N95 when I downloaded offline maps and turned everything but integrated gps off there was no data traffic at all but even after the latest maps updates (i.e. yesterday) it appears that the maps still needs downloading when accessed...
Any suggestions how to completely avoid data traffic when using maps?

Set all destinations to always ask and select no whenever the phone gives you a request, set Maps to offline, and set location to just use intergrated GPS. By the way, just been to Portugal using Vodafone and data charges only about £5 for week, and they've just improved allowances, may be worth checking your service providers web site and see if it's necessary to bother about data roaming, they all tend to follow each other, and Data roaming charges in europe seem to be coming down !

Models that turn off integrated antenna when using antenna jack.

I am looking for a cell phone that has an external antenna jack AND will turn off the integrated antenna when the external jack is inserted. Lets define the term " integrated" as being an internal antenna or the permanent attached external or nub style. This can be on the market now or on the used market. The Treo line, even the old ones, is my primary interest but only because i have tried them and I could check email. Any HP/Palm model cell phone would be fine even if it is only available on the used ebay market. Knowing what models DO and DO NOT have an external jack and knowing what ones WILL and WILL NOT turn off the antenna next to my head will help me narrow down my options. So knowing a model will not do as I want is just as valuable. Thanks for the help. Pete I try to buy local. With cell phones that is hard for obvious reasons. HP has many workers in my hometown so i will support them first. If you can think of a non-HP or PALM company that offers this option please let me know and I will add it to the backup list.

Turn off LCD display when using second monitor WITHOUT closing lid

I am wondering if there is a way to turn off my macbook's LCD monitor when using a secondary display without closing the lid. I end up having to close the lid, wait for it to sleep, moving moues, and then reopening the lid so it doesnt overheat, and that's alot of work when most windows machines just offer a display setting to accomplish the same thing.
Does anyone know of a terminal command that would disable the primary monitor?

It is designed to work with the lid closed and it will not overheat. I do it all the time and have not noticed a rise in temperature because the lid is closed.

HT201317 I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted photos and turned off. It's using my data minutes and I'm over my usage because its always downloading mode

I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted all photos and turned off. It is always in downloading mode. It's using my data minutes

Okay, I figured it out.
I would clear the cache while the page was still being viewed in a window, and for some reason that didn't actually clear the cache. So that's the browser's being a good little browser, but it's annoying because it should clear everything.
iWeb also has a problem in that is tells pages to cache forever, so the browsers are only doing what they're told.
Close the window, clear the cache, good to go.

Do you turn off wi-fi when using Thunderbolt ethernet adapter?

I set-up the Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter for my Mac Book Pro Retina. Easy set-up.
It shows wi-fi and thunderbolt both on under Network. Do I need to turn off the Wi-Fi connection if using the Thunderbolt adapter? My internet didn't connect on my Windows laptop this morning wireless and I reset the Cable and router so it may not have had anything to do with it.
Thanks.

I turned wi-fi off on my Mac Book Pro and left just thunderbolt ethernet connected and it is working fine. It must have been a glitch in the router or modem that messed it up this morning on my Windows laptop as that is running wireless.

How do I turn off the trackpad when using a mouse?

Often, while using a mouse on my MacBook Air, the cursor will jump to a strange location, thus I am typing in an inappropriate place causing confusion as to where I am in an email, document, or other application. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It is very annoying. I think it's caused by a Trackpad issue.

Hope the info from this thread helps.

I have windows 7 and I can't sign into ITunes. Message says to turn off compatibility mode to use. How and why do I need to do this?

I have Windows 7. I was previously using Windows 98 when I set up ITunes and developed a library of music and movies. When I try to log in I keep getting a message stating that am using an older version of Windows and that I need to turn off "compatability mode to use ITunes. Where and why do I need to do this?

I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

HT201401 My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a ubs pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. meltdown

My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent. So I turned my iphone off. My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over. If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ? meltdown? Please help.

Hello Raja,
Thank you so much for your response. I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested. Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution. Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded). This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-) Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s. Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone. Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received. Thank you kindly.

Have you held the menu and left arrow together for 6 secs ? (I think you have from what you say).
Also try unpowering and restarting AppleTV.
