ATV doesn't actually power off? In standby mode HDMI and Toslink active?

I've setup my ATV to live on an active signal sensing HDMI and Optical audio router. I'm amazed to now find that the only way of killing the HDMI and optical outputs are to power the ATV off? Putting the unit into standby keeps those output ports active. Anyone find a way around this?

It's a 'feature' !
Standby just outputs black video, and device remains awake monitoring for communications from iTunes to allow syncing when it's in 'standby'.

  • Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

    They do.
    Standby = press the Power button
    Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
    Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
    This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
    Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

  • Can you safely power off a Airport 5th generation and attached disk drive without risking data getting lost??

    Can you safely power off a 5th generation AirPort and an attached disk drive without losing data?

    I'd like to just be able to shut it down by tripping off the power strip the disk and airport are attached to with my toe so they're not sucking down power at night or when I'm at work.     I wouldn't mind a sequence of power down the computers on the net first and then 'toeing off' the AirPort+disk.  
    I'm just wondering how quickly between the time that I power off the mac that the airport would flush all of its buffers.

  • Z77a gd65 doesn't boot/power off

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my z77a gd65. It doesn't boot anymore. Each time I need to clear CMOS. Also when I do a shutdown or restart it doesn't respond anymore. (all leds on motherboard are off except the first one of the CPU_PHASE leds). Shutdown or restart have the same effect when i try them in windows or bios, even the buttons on the board have the same results. Only the fans keep spinning. It doesn't power off anymore, I need to unplug the power cord.
    It has worked for over 2 months, it just happened yesterday. I haven't installed or changed anything that day.
    I haven't overclocked the mainboard.
    I tried the latest BIOS version, but this didn't solved the problem
    I removed all other hardware (videocard, hdd, dvd,...) but still same problem
    Any suggestions
    thanks

    Does that mean the system is now fixed and working?

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

  • Unexpected my apple iphone 4s power off

    my apple i phone power off unexpected ..ring tune and mesge tune is listen but not show nny disply only black screen show its show power off mobile.plz help me

    Hey there amna,
    It sounds like the phone turned off unexpectedly. I found this article to help you troubleshoot it that issue named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • K8N NEO2 Platinum Power off issue

    More often than not lately, when I shut windows down, it just hangs at the powering off screen and does not actually power off. I have push the power button to complete shut down. Using Syar's easy Bios 1.C. Anyone with a fix? Thanks

    Hello !!
    I know it sounds a bit crazy but please try to set your windows swap file on the same partition ( C:\ )  like windows is.    
    I have heard people fixed their shutdown problem with it.....
    Good luck
    Greetz MurdoK
    Yes, that is correct, I have had this problem before on another system where the swap file was on another partition, but not the case here. Swap file is on C:\
    Thanks to all for the info, I really appreciate it and please keep it coming.

  • IPad WEP password required after power off.

    Hi,
    On my ipad mini I am required to re-enter my WEP password after power off.
    Why is this and how do I prevent it from happening?
    This does not occur on my mbp or iphone 4s.
    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Although it should work flawlessly, for some reason mobile devices don't always play nice with WEP.  You're far better off  with WPA2 (security-wise)  anyway.  If you have the ability to change your network's security, it might be easier to just get away from WEP than to try to make your mini work with it.

  • Power off message in iMac

    It has happened twice that a black screen shows saying to power off the iMac by pressing and holding the power button. I happens right after I log in.
    What could this be? Anyone has had this problem? Other than that, the iMac is working properly, is fairly new.
    Thanks

    Something on your kit is causing a kernel panic. It could be caused by software that you installed or even a peripheral that you have attached.

  • Waking up the Mac from a complete power OFF with WOL not possible, ***

    I was told by AU applecare stuff that ALL Mac cannot be woke up from a complete power OFF. I asked the team at applecare because my mini server won't do a WOL.
    Is this for REAL?
    Can't I do WOL on Macs?
    What a horror! How is this possible  in this day and age? Macs are intel macs now, and it is just a matter of the network card/chip has this build in. A $200 PC can do this ages ago.
    It is huge environmental disaster if we cannot wake the Macs from power off remotely via LAN/WAN, and putting them to sleep when not needed.
    Can someone help brighten up my day by pointing me to some official documentation on this or you real experiences on waking up a Mac with WOL
    from a complete power OFF?

    Maybe necroposting here, but HRMUser is right. Many (most?) modern PCs support WOL from a powered-off (shutdown) state. PCs that support WOL usually have a BIOS setting that allows you to enable/disable it. The network interface itself is powered enough that it will "see" magic WOL packets. I regularly use this feature for PC administration. It's annoying / silly that Macs don't support WOL from power off.

  • Turn Off vs Full Power Off?

    So I have both these options when I go to 'Turn Power Off' in the menu. But I'll be honest, I don't see any difference between the two. The only thing that is different is 'Turn off" tells me it will turn back on when my alarm goes off.
    Is this right?  Because I would have assumed 'Full Power Off' would have closed any apps I had running, like Facebook for exampe which sometimes freezes forcing me to reboot.

    The BlackBerry has two power-management modes:
    If you use the Power button, or click Turn Power Off on the Home screen and select Turn Off, your BlackBerry will turn itself on again when the alarm activates it or when it is set to turn on automatically.
    If you select Turn Power Off on the Home screen, then select Full Power Off, your BlackBerry will not turn on again until you press the Power button.
    So if you use "Turn Power Off" and you set an alarm to get to work in the morning, you will have to bring donuts to everyone.

  • Hangover on power-off

    Hi!
    I've finally managed (by accident) to find out what was bringing my MBP (early11) to hangover on power-off. It's stupid and simple — all I had to dp was to remove Adobe Flash Player product and everything turned to normal.
    I tried my best to find the reason, I even re-installed the system. But the only thing, which really helped me is removing the Flash Player.
    Well, I believe that SJ was a Nostradamus of IT-industry — that technology is giving itself back.
    Anyway,
    I may hope that some of you will find this Discussion suitable for your case of «Power-off Hangover» too.
    With the Kindest Regards,
    Aunt Deena
    PS
    I'm sorry, but English is not my native language — thus I'd like to excuse for some of misuse may appeared.

    I think you might be on to something. I turned wifi off before powering down last night and it shut off without a hitch. I'll try it again a few times and report back.
