AppleTV Not Responding - Displays Apple Logo Only

I don't use my AppleTV very often. Since upgrading to version 2.0 whenever I change my monitor input to HDMI to use it the white Apple logo is displayed on a black background. Clicking any button on the remote invokes the normal feedback sounds but nothing happens - the logo remains on the screen. So far the only way I have resolved this is by unplugging the AppleTV and allowing it to restart. Once it does all is fine...until the next time.
I have not seen any other posts regarding this. Help?

Isn't HDMI great...
In theory it's marvellous, but all the negotiating/handshaking and in-built DRM is just a minefield for compatibility.
Thing is I guess is that it's not necessarily AppleTV that's at fault and it may be the receivers that don't implement the communication properly when switching, but other componbent like the PS3 may be more forgiving.
On the basis that it may be AppleTV it may be worth you all giving feedback to Apple at:

I've bought a satellite box recently and while I personally had no HDMI problems, many others did and this seems to have been ironed out with system software updates so there's potentially hope for AppleTV if it's at fault.

  • Only displays apple logo, only displays that when plugged in.

    When plugged in my iPod touch 3gen only displays the Apple logo. When not plugged in it does not turn on.
    I have tried the reset method of holding the home and lock button.  When pluged in the logo dissapears and comes back,  when not plugged in the screen flash black for a second.

    Next try the remaining actions of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch 4gen not responding. Apple logo just coming on

    Bought a used ipod and I can't get it to do anything. When you turn it on, the Apple logo just comes on for a few seconds and then turns off for a few seconds and keeps doing that. Not responding to any of the buttons. Tried to restore it through itunes on the computed, but it's still doing the same thing. Help!

  • HT201263 I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. I tried to charge and not charging. What I should do now?

    I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
    What I should do now?

    Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port

  • HT1369 my iphone 4 will not turn on apple logo just flashes

    my iphone 4 will not turn on apple logo just flashes

    Hey laysams64,
    I would follow these troubleshooting steps:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    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:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

    Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking".  Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

  • Can't restart phone apple logo only

    I started downloading an app and it froze about 3/4 of the way through the download.  My phone then slowed down, I deleted a few apps as I thought maybe it was space that was freezing the download.  I tried to pause the download...didn't work...so I restarted my phone (powered off).  When it came back on I'm at the equivalent of the 'blue screen of death' for a computer....the apple logo only!
    Help!

    Try reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Nothing will turn my iphone 4s back on, it randomly turned itself off and nothing will come up on my screen. Not even the apple logo. Tried plugging it in and no response.

    I have only had my iphone 4s for maybe two weeks and randomly i didnt use it for maybe an hour and it was like it was off i tried to turn it on and no response. I tried to reset it by holding the home and power button no response. I plugged it in the computer no response. Not even the apple logo. I have tried everything and i have no  idea what is wrong or what to fix it.

        Hi Danielle_Longwood,  Let's make sure your iPhone sees the light of day once again!  You did state that you held the Power and Home keys but were they held long enough as per Dark_Waters instruction?  Has there been any physical or liquid damage to the device?  Was the device originally purchased new from Verizon Wireless?  I am eager to work with you further and find a solution!
    Thank You,
