ATV (Gen.1) in constant boot up

Hi, I have an ATV (Gen1), which seems to have gone into a permanent “Boot up” i.e. ample light continually flashes. I have tried reseting with the remote which did not work and powering on/off with or without HDMi etc but with no luck – Any ideas?
Cheers, Jason

Things don't seem to be too promising, you could take the Apple TV to an Applestore for diagnostics, but it sounds like a hardware failure to me.

  • How to stream content from Mac or Ipad to ATV  Gen 1

    I have an unlocked ATV Gen 1 ( just bought 2nd hand ) and I want to stream content from either my MacBookAir or my ( Jailbroken ) Ipad 2 to the ATV which is connected to my nice big TV.
    I can view all the integral stuff in ATV and also view/listen to movies/music in Itunes.
    I really want to view BBC TV which is streaming on my MBA or Ipad onto the ATV.
    How can I achieve this?
    I've dabbled with Airshare ( a Cydia app ) on the Ipad but that doesn't seem to work.
    Of course, I can run a HDMI cable directly from the MBA/Ipad to the ordinary TV and throw away the ATV but I want to do it wirelessly.
    Surely this is achievable with ATV?
    Thx,

    Mr Churchill, I assume that you are talking about "live broadcasts" when  you assert that I can't stream 'anything'?
    Of course, I can 'stream' videos/music/podcasts/photos which are in my Itunes library of any of my devices to the ATV .
    I'm pretty sure that I have read postings where content displayed on an IOS device can be mirrored in Audio/VDO to the ATV.
    If this only realates to content contained within ITunes then confirmation will be regarded as the correct answer ( if not the one I wanted ).
    Can someone pls assist

  • ATV Gen 1uses

    Does anyone know if there is a way to use an ATV Gen 1 hard disk to store photos. The Gen 1 isn't supported or mountable through iTunes anymore, but it's got a 160 Gb hard disk, and I don't want to waste the storage space.

    The device is not meant to be used as storage, it is for syncing with iTunes only.

  • ATV Gen 1 - Remote is working but the ATV isn't responding?

    my remote for my ATV gen 01, is connecting with the ATV as the light responds on the front when i press a comand, but the ATV isnt responding and wont move accordingly though the menu...?? help..?

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network

    My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network. I've recently upgraded to a BT HH5 and now I cannot airplay with my 2011-MBP, and the ATV will not connect to the iTunes store or software update.

    Ok, thanks (not sure I know what you mean!). I have seen a solution that tells me to rename the two SSID's? Is that what you mean? All my devices are wireless, and all can connect to the internet except the Apple TV. Now I have disabled the 5GHz channel all devices are on the 2.4GHz channel and all work fine, including the Apple TV and airplay between my MBP and ATV.

  • Apple TV Gen 3 takes too long to load 15,000 photos. Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

    I just purchased Apple TV (Gen 3) It takes too long to load my over 15,000 photos for viewing.   This was never a problem with my ATV (Gen 1).  Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

    Do you have a technical question?
    What have you done to troubleshoot?
    Typically issues like this are related to the local network. First thing would be to try ethernet, if on wifi. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV, router.
    You can go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.

  • ATV Gen 2: I'm confused. Am I missing something?

    Gen 1 enabled me to sit down at my TV and use the remote to surf hundreds of  TV networks and shows including HBO/NBC/etc...., but Gen 2 seems very limited. Many of my favorite shows and networks are no longer listed on the ATV itself (HBO, Modern Family, Good Wife, etc). Where did they go? To purchase certain content now, I must go to my computer, find the show in iTunes, purchase the show on my computer, and then use home-sharing to send it to the ATV. Am I missing something? Can I no longer surf and make all selections on the ATV directly? My computer is several rooms away from my TV, and I much prefer to surf  content on the TV. Please tell me I'm missing something simple. If this is progress, I'll definitely need to revert back to gen 1. Thanks so much to anyone who can shed some light.  -Maria

    Hi mariafromnh,
         Due to licensing issues between movie-makers and TV Show networks, Apple cannot show some content on the AppleTV 2; only on your Mac/PC. This is also the reverse for some movies that can only been seen in HD on the AppleTV 2 but not on your Mac/PC.
    Like Michele Gardner said, you can only wait until Apple sorts this out. In the mean time, your current method is the only real way of being able to view said shows on your AppleTV. Apple removed the internal HDD and made the ATV2 an extension of your iTunes library by forcing it to be streaming-only.

  • Can i Synch ATV Gen 1; despite factory restore?

    I still like the idea of syncing my iTunes; streaming isn't a preferred option. Can i opt for syncing...
    I am having problems doing that following removal of ATV from preferences and getting it back...
    Thank you,

    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • Does your ATV gen 1 sync with iTunes 5x??

    the title says it all:

    Thanks in advance for all  answers (positive and negative) - alix

    Yes, all of mine are fine, please describe your problem, maybe we can help.

  • ATV Gen 1 Hard drive gets cleared.

    I Have an Apple Tv with a 160 gig Hard drive ( actually 2 of them) I keep one at home and My second one I use for the Camper or for Night shifts at work. Its a great little device for this but here is the problem I seem to get once in awhile. I had it with me at the lake and used it for about a week then the next day I went to use it but It said i had no movies, So I checked my Tv Series That I had same this they were all gone. But My photos were all still there. Why would all video just disapar for no reason ( No one changed the library setting My home Itune library was still in the general settings as only one)
    This has happen 3 times no and I cant seem to find any reason it did this. Can anyone help answer this.

    I seem to be having the same problem. Every time I fire up iTunes, it starts to sync with my Apple TV (again) and there is no content on the ATV. This seemed to happen after I upgraded to iTunes 10. It's driving me batty. Almost as if Apple is driving me to buy a new Apple TV.
    Any solutions?

  • Streaming movies to different ATV gen 2 units

    I have 3 ATV2 units hooked up via ethernet to my home network. I have my library on my desktop computer and want to stream movies (different ones to different ATV2's) can there be 2 video/audio streams on the network at the same time?

    yes.
    what content is streamed to the individual ATV's is controlled by the units themselves.

  • Z77A-GD65 Error 55 constant boot loop

    I'm very confident the Board itself is dead. I tried all the usual suspects one stick of ram, CMOS reset etc. etc. finally resorting to replacing the motherboard with an old Z68A GD65 which booted faultlessly first time. Just confused why the board would suddenly report an error like this after running faultlessly and with no changes to the bios or the PC itself since I bought the unit it was flashed some months ago to the latest bios version with no problems. I need to check if I can RMA the board but is it really worth the time?

    Well, if board doesn't work while another board works with all the other components it is pretty surely faulty. Of course you can then go for rma.
    In Europe that takes contacting reseller.

    Problem:
    For the longest time wouldget no beep or boot when powered.
    Randomly got to bios then shut down with blinking light of about 1sec
    (manual suggests this is due to overheating of cpu) I have athermal take fan with
    heatsink running 5500rpms, and i put on a little bit of thermal goo stuff, so i dont think
    it is overheating? SO currently I can get to bios for about 20seconds ONCE a day, after that
    when I ask it to power up all the fans begin to spin but stop miliseconds after they start with
    no light notification whatsoever. Dbracket is installed and I get no reading, and i have no record
    of what it may have read the few times i do get to bios. When i searched this product at the msi
    website it showed a list of ram chips acceptable, and the 512 corsair wasnt listed- I have since purchased a
    512 chip of registered nonecc from crucial but it hasnt arrived for my to try. Any suggestions would be great,
    thanks for reading.
    an aside,
    Lets say hypothetically during my initial connection of heatsink to cpu i accidentally added a liberal amount
    of the thermal goo, then shortly after when re-seating the cpu and removing the fan i whiped off a good portion
    leaving an amound about the size of a piece of rice. Could this have been a problem ?

    I am not sure about the Athlon 64 chips.  But when i had my very first Athlon 1.4 Thunderbird, i put too much on there.  The compund overflowed and covered one of the small capicitors on the chip.  The PC would boot, but would have Major problems.  Blue Screens, Random lockups, etc.  I replaced the chip with another 1.4 ghz and it worked fine.
    How bad did it overflow?

  • IPod Touch gen. 2 not booting up.

    I have had the strangest errors with my iPod the last month. First the iPod goes crazy and recieves touches all over the display without me or anyone else touching it. So I'm having a loot of problems trying to turn it off because the iPod keeps launching apps and cancels the shutdown. When I finally shuts it down I can't get it to reboot. The iPod does not respond when I press the on/off button, the on/off button + home button or just holding the home button. I tried connecting it to my mac, it does not pop up on iTunes and doesn't seem to recive any charge, the screen is all black. The same goes when I try to connect it with the wallplug.
    Anyone got any ideas or have anyone had any similar experiences?
    Thanks

    Not much else you can try at home. I'd recommend speaking with an Apple representative either at a retail store or over the phone. I'm not sure there are Apple Retail Stores where you're located but use this link to find a phone number for Apple in your country: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
