AppleTV: Anyone else's rebooting/freezing more often lately?

I have an AppleTV from when they were first released and it's always run just fine. In fact, I actually use it every day I'm home. Recently, say within the last 3 weeks, I've been switch from TV to HDMI on my TV's remote and being greeted with the Apple Logo and a reboot. The other variation is I see frozen photos from my previous session's screen saver just hanging there. I press the AppleTV remote "Menu" button and the disappear to reveal different photos which have apparently been cascading "behind" the frozen photos. Anyone else have either of there showing up on their's? I am running the current AppleTV firmware (2.2 or whatever) and have never installed any hacks to the system.

Well, after creating my 97th user id for this site,
I would agree that freezing in a MAJOR problem. ATV worked so great for my music up until about a month ago. I got rid of my cd player right before this happened as I had not used it since I got the ATV. I have had to reboot several times when the remote did not connect any longer (amber light when menu button pushed). Now the problem is a VERY slow response to the remote, up to a couple of minutes before the menu button is responded to.
The other problem right now is a lot of skipping. Songs play like scratched CDs. Could be from so many times having to turn the darn thing around while it is running to unplug it to reboot it. I am thinking it is skipping mainly when iTunes is booted (there has always been a slight skip when iTunes first boots). This has been very upsetting.
I am also upset about the fact that Apple is taking so long to enable the USB so that I can increase capacity. I do not like the sound of MPGs so I only use AIFF files to get a better quality sound. Also SACDs. I want to hook up a 1TB drive so I can have the thing shuffle all of my 9000 plus songs. 40gb is not enough! I don't want to do a physical HD change out, it would be so much easier to plug in a bigger drive in the back.
Have not watched any TV shows on this since I am already paying DishNetwork for that. Can't beat $15 per month. Waiting to stream those onto ATV from the internet since they are free there.
Some day, ATV will be awakened to be the main multimedia machine that it was intended to be. Apple seems to be trying to kill it by keeping it crippled. I visualize the day that I look at my rack and see just the ATV with a two Macintosh amps and a LCD. No need for a DVD player, cable or sat box, or CD player, turntable or any other stuff.
Apple, Wake UP!

  • Is anyone else seeing reboots when taking screenshots?

    When taking screenshots under firmware 2.2 (holding down home button, then sleep button), I'm seeing frequent reboots. Anyone else? The iPhone isn't confusing this with a reset, which requires that both be held down for a considerably longer time, is it?

    This anomalous behavior seems to have disappeared.

  • Has anyone else noticed firefox using more RAM in windows 7?

    I've noticed this lately and firefox has been using more RAM lately. I only have 1 tab open and it doesn't matter what page I would be on when it happens. It wouldn't bother me if I still had 6GB of RAM but I am going on 3.5 now. Can you guys fix this please? Just being on this page alone it's at 2.15GB when it would usually be at 1.78 and in processes it says 260,000k. I don't have any other windows or tabs open.

    All is good now :D

  • Is anyone else's itunes freezing as soon as you click the mouse?

    Ive been opening and closing my itunes for the last hour. it opens and i go to select something and it freezes... GETTING SOOOOOO ANNOYED. ive restart my computer twice and still nothing. i go to itunes support and that freezes too!

    Hello olddjjim,
    It would be impossible to use iTunes if it froze after just one click, so I would be concerned about that too.  I found an article that has steps for isolating and troubleshooting issues with iTunes freezing on Windows Vista:

    Hi Barbara
    I've always been a little wary of "third party utilities" as I've always been of the opinion that the manufacturers software will probably be the best for the job, but your story has piqued my interest, would you highly recommend diskwarrior? is it significantly better at the job than the standard apple utility?
    Thanks
    Not Barbara but....
    Let's put it this way about Disk Warrior, chances are if disk utility can't fix your problem DW most likely can. If DW can't fix your problem your best bet would be to back up your data and do a clean install.
    I've been using DW for many years and depend on it. Actually about once a month or when I think I need too, I run DW just to make sure everything stays perfect.

  • Anyone else having application freezes with the latest Patch update for Version 5.1.1?

    Having major issues with my Iphone Apps after latest patch.  Is there anything I can do to get my iPhone applications to install? Everything seems frozen. I have done many system resets and nothing has worked---I'm getting very frustrated.
    Thanks!

    Reset, Restore, Service. Those are the 3 steps for any device.
    Next up: Restore! Enjoy

  • Is anyone else experiencing lagging/freezing??

    It happens to me all the time, and basically renders anything I watch (netflix/itunes) unwatchable. The bizarre thing is that my wireless computer and xbox work perfectly w/ regard to the internet ... Any ideas? I have the latest firmware.

    The ATV2 likes to connect to N wireless, albeit at slow speeds. It also doesn't seem to like certain routers from the posts I've seen. I think users should restore their ATV2 to ground zero. I did it to all three of mine to make sure they weren't the issue. It turns out my cable run and modem were causing issues, not the ATV2.

  • Since I starting syncing my iPad, iPhone and MacBook, I have lost hundreds of photos and lots of music. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I moved all of my photo library and music library to my MacBook last year and also added iCloud for backing up. Now much of my music and hundreds and hundreds of photos (irreplaceable) have disappeared. They are exactly nowhere. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem? I back up to Time Machine daily but Time Machine has no record of the lost files either. Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly, is there a solution??

    iCloud backup do not backup music or your photos.
    See what iCloud backed up:

  • I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I have recently noticed that my MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing.  I first noticed that the track pad would not work for short periods of time.  Is anyone else having a problem?

    My MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing up.  It seems that it is happening more often as time goes on. 
    I first noticed that the track pad would freeze then whole computer would completly freeze.
    Most annoying.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem?

    Hey B-bram,
    For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

  • T440p freeze with display corruption - anyone else?

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with display corruption similar to this:
    Link to image
    It happens randomly 1-3 times per day, and I have been unable to reproduce on demand.
    memtest86 and Lenovo's memory testing utility both pass.
    No critical events are logged in Event Viewer, other than "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first."
    Problem occurs both docked and undocked.
    Open files were often corrupted (overwritten with 0's) - this was resolved by disabling write caching on the drive.
    I've just about run out of ideas and this is incredibly frustrating. I found a github issue for Linux which might be related.
    System:
    T440p w/4700MQ and NVIDIA 730m
    RAM 16GB (Patriot PSD316G1333SK)
    SSD 256GB (SanDisk SDSSDHP256G)
    HDD 500GB in UltraBay (HGST HTS725050A7E6300)
    Windows 8.1
    BIOS 2.19 and latest drivers for everything (nothing available with Lenovo Update)

    Hi - 
    I'm wondering if the issue reported by mixdio is related to resuming from Sleep also.
    Though, I am not encountering corruption, I too have an issue with that same SATA drive (hgst hts725050A7E6300), when resuming from Sleep. My issue is that I continually receive "Problem Ejecting ... (hgst hts725050A7E6300)" (after waking from Sleep and logging in).
    I originally encountered this about a year ago. I just basically kept up on (Lenovo) System Updates and Windows Updates, ensured the drive in the UltraBay was locked in, and dismissed the error as false weirdness. Unfortunately, last Summer, that drive went corrupt and was unrecoverable.
    (my SSD on controller 0 went defunct as well - very bad sucky time - also a learning lesson: SSD like any other hardware device, even though it doesn't have moving parts, like memory, CPU, etc - they can all go bad ... I just look down and shake my head everytime I hear someone praise SSD like it's some Technological Messiah ... so foolish)
    But last Fall, I was able to correct it by running the "Fix for issue of HDD with HD detection for Windows 7" update (and starting the service in TaskScheduler - which is not outlined in the instructions).
    Now, for some odd reason, I am again encountering the error. And now I am basically going through Events and finding what I can on that drive  and searching for other "resume from sleep on Windows 7" issues.
    I'm on a W530 running Win7 Pro 64

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • IOS7 causing my iPhone 5 to freeze, constantly restart, anyone else? Solutions?

    Ever since I downloaded iOS7 my 5 constantly freezes and I have to restart my phone (literally 6-7 times an hour).  It randomly turns off.  The battery doens't last more than 2 hours.  It restarts itself randomly, during phone calls and when its plugged in.  Apple replaced my phone, has restored my phone and started from scratch and I'm still having the same problem.  Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? I am ready to lose it and my phone has become unreliable.

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes

  • Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print?

    Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson 835 Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print? I have followed all the instructions from Epson about upgrading, etc. but it is very frustrating when I have to repeatedly try to print. Epson says talk to Apple???

    Try checking thru these, maybe some help.
