ATV looses network settings

I have a problem with my ATV. I normally switch the ATV off (I pull out the power cord), when I'm not at home.
After having downloaded a new version oof the ATV version, the ATV looses the network settings and the password after the restart, so I have to reenter always when I turn it on again.
Does anybody know how I can prevent entering all settings again after every restart?
Thanks and regards,
Seb

For better or for worse, the ATV wasn't designed to be powered off so frequently. I would recommend keeping it plugged in and only pull the plug on it when it needs a hard reset to clear problems that can't be cleared by less disruptive means.

  • ATV looses network settings every day since latest update

    I've had no problems with my ATV since I bought it after Macworld. I installed the latest 2.1 update (from 2.0.1) a couple weeks ago. Now it forgets the network settings at least once a day. It sees the network just fine but doesn't remember the password. After I reenter the password, all is fine for a few minutes to a few hours. Then it's back to square one. Any ideas anyone?

    I got my new 160G ATV yesterday. Set up was fine for the first 2 hours, then lost the connection & network settings. I had to do a factory restore to get it to recognize the network again, after restarting, cold-booting the works. Once again worked fine for about 12 hours, then it lost the settings again. Tried the restart, cold boot and factory restore...found my wireless network, but would not accept my WEP key. Updated the software, tried switching to WPA/WPA2, nothing. Finally removed all security settings and it's been now working for 16 hours no prob. This is NOT and ideal solution. I had begun to think it was my router, but now after seeing all these posts I realize that this is a common problem. For now I'm OK, but I really don't want folks freeloading off me. SO APPLE YOU NEED TO FIX THIS AND SOON!

  • ATV looses network connection if PC reboots or iTunes closes and reopens.

    ATV looses network connection upon iTunes closing (i.e computer turning off or going to sleep.) I'm then required to re-input the network password (p.i.t.a.) every time I come home from work, or the power surges, or iTunes closes, etc.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Lucy,
    To address the suggestions you made:
    There's too much code, performance needs to be
    improved.  - Does anybody know of useful utilities to monitor cpu
    performance as a sort of watch dog.
    There is a software package called the Execution Trace Toolkit you can use to monitor the performance of your Real Time applications. If you have access to this software through a developer suite or a site license it would be worth installing that.
    If not there are a number of other things you can try first.
    The network or vi server is shutting down - Again, I'd appreciate some help on how to monitor this.
    To determine if the problem is caused by the network you should connect to the cRIO with a cross over cable and see if you see the same behaviour. This will help determine if the problem is down to the network or the cRIO system.
    Once you've isolated the source of the problem (ie the crio or the network) we can investigate the cause and hopefully come up with a resolution.
    Kind regards

  • Loosing network settings after cloning a working installation to another machine

    Hi all,
    we're actually preparing a basic installation for a few users for testing Mavericks in our environment.
    Everything seems to work fine except the network settings. If we clone to exactly the same machine type (eg. MacMini 4,1) all works nicely but when we colne to a MacMini 5,3 all settings are gone (DNS, domains, IPv6, proxy).
    The settings seem to live in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and dropping the files "preferences.plist" and/or "NetworkInterfaces.plist" from one machine to another breaks the settings.
    Is there a new place to put a kind of default netork settings plist that isn't overwritten or corrupted when copied?
    Hope you habe some hints to me!  Thanxx...          A3k

    Hi all,
    since we didn't found a solution for this we stopped trying to put the network settings in the template but instead we setup the network with a little shell script at first start using "networksetup".
    Thanks for taking a look...      A3k

  • XP mode looses network connectivity periodically on multiple Dell Optiplex Windows 7 Professional PCs.

    XP mode looses connectivity periodically throughout the day on a daily basis but Windows 7 Pro host PC never looses connectivity.  Problem is at its worst when the XP mode has been running all day.  If XP mode is rebooted once daily, problem is
    reduced but not gone.  Some days are better than others.  One day it will happen to one xp mode and not another.  Another day one xp mode will fail repeatedly while another works OK.  There is no rhythm to the failures.   Problem
    began with the 1st XP Mode environment. 
    I can disable and enable the virtual NIC and regain connectivity.
    The problem occurs during batch processing of DOS based payroll software using many open files and handles.  Software runs from XP Mode as shortcut to Mapped Server Drive letter.
    Environment is small.
    1 windows 2008 R2 Server as Domain/File server. Dell T420 Server
    3 Windows 7 Pro with XP mode.  All XP Mode fail periodically.  All Dell PCs, one OptiPlex 3010, one OptiPlex 390, 1 Dell Dimension.
    2 Windows XP Pro, OptiPlex 330. Real mode never looses connectivity.
    All drivers up to date.
    Router firmware up to date.
    Power management disabled. 
    I disabled the Servers Auto Disconnect.
    XP mode Network settings using physical adapter, not NAT.
    I've been reading forums and troubleshooting this for months.  I've tried everything except recreate the VHD.

    #1 Do you have any supporting articles you can point me to?
    #2 What do you mean by "Temperature"?  Physical heat?  The offices are kept at approx 75°.
    #3  Will look at them again.  As I said, I've been troubleshooting this for quite a while.  I don't recall any Eventviewer errors related to this but I will check again.
    Thanks again for your input.

  • ATV joins network but can't negotiate internet connection?

    Hi, I've just upgraded to 10.6 and also switched my airport network to 'n' only. All worked a dream except for my ATV. It connects to the wireless network but can't obtain a router address or dns address so has no internet connection?? The ATV has been working beautifully over a B/G network for months so I don't know if it's the move to n or the move to 10.6 or both.
    Any advice available on this? I can't seem to find the issue discussed on the forum already.

    Try restarting the DHCP server.
    Now that you've updated to SL have you tried putting your network settings back to your b/g setting to try to isolate the problem.
    You didn't turn off bridging when you set your router to n only did you.
    Is your router set to n only or b/g/n or g/n

    When i loose network in elevators-basments, after network is restored my phone is not reachable to anyone until unless i make it wakeup manually.
    have tried restoring to factory setting but nothing works

    On2CO,  I'm glad you have reached out to us today. Thank you so much for the very detail description on what is going on with the device. Sounds like there might be an issue with an application that might be causing these issues. The reason I say that is, when the phone is in Safe Mode you are able to access the Settings screens with no issues. While in Safe Mode that does block all 3rd party applications from running on the phone. I would suggest on trying to back up the device and perform a factory reset: http://spr.ly/6-182Vuo (you would want to make sure to uncheck Automatic Restore in step 3). Once the reset is complete try to see if you can get into Settings. Then, I would recommend on adding 3rd party applications back on to the device one by one to see if we can find what app might be causing this issue. Please keep us posted if you have any further questions or concerns.   KevinR_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • I have had my ipod 4th generation for a year now and had not had any problems until now. My ipod no longer connects to my WiFi. i have reset my network settings, forgot my network and followed all of Apple's advice. Any ideas?

    The WiFi isn't working on my 4th generation anymore. I have several devices connected to the WiFi which two of them are iPhone 5 that haven't had ant problems with WiFi. I have had my iPod for a year. I have tried everything and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • "Network settings have be changed by another application" stuck in loops

    I have the exact problem as others with Network System Preferences saying that the settings have been changed by another application. The message goes into a loop that can only be stopped with a Force Quit of the Preferences. I also have the Airport not connecting at start-up without choosing the Network Name from the Airport Pull down menu. I also think it may have started with the last Security upgrade and Java upgrade. I have used the airport utility to reconfig the base station. I discovered a system keychain with a password for the airport that my normal passwords would not open to show what it's password was. I have done many disk permissions and verifications. Any ideas? I would think if this is a Security update error, that Apple would be aware of it by now and post a repair. I have followed some threads on this issue but would rather wait for an Apple fix. There appears to be no way to contact Apple in customer support.

    A Fix for "Your network preferences have been changed by another application" Error
    In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the following:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    You will have to re-configure all your network settings since deleting these files will cause them to be returned to defaults.

  • I have recently unlocked my iPhone 4. I got the comforation saying it was unlocked. For some reason I cannot access my network settings? Any suggestions. I am trying to use the phone on Net 10 network.

    I recently unlocked my iphone 4. I am trying to use it on Net 10's network. However, i cannot access the network settings. I have the Net10 Sim already in it. A few notes listed below of what i have tried:
    1.) I downloaded the iphone configuation utility. But  cannot get the right settings to apply. (so if you have the correct ones i could use those)
    2.) i have watched 1000 youtube videos and been on practically every page online and tried 1000 different versions of APN settings through the configuration
    3.) I do not have another SIM card from another carrier to try.
    Open to suggestions on how i can get the APN settings to change. Not worried about picture messaging or anything, but would like my internet to work. Calls and text work fine.

    i have seen this option..problem being...i dont have access to WIFI i live in the middle of ten buck too! We cant even get internet out here i have to go a friend house to get internet. I was going to try that once i did get to town but was looking for other options here at home frist.

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.
