Can't turn off Apple TV after update

Updated my 2nd gen Apple TV this morning to iOS 5.1. Now I cannot put the ATV to sleep by pressing the middle button anymore. Anyone know how to put it to sleep, besides going through the setting menu?

After upgrading to itunes 11 my apple tv2 no longer appears in itunes. Airplay?! So those of us with wired networks are now S.O.L.? This makes no sense. I remember after upgrading to OS 10.8. that my 2 year old intel i5 imac can't use aiplay to stream movies to the apple tv. Fine. So, now Apple have applied the same built in obselecence approach to itunes audio, requiring those of us with 2 year old equipment to go out and by new stuff just to play music on another set of speakers? How does that strike you for environmentally friendly? 2 years. Sorry for the rant . If anyone knows of a workaround I'd love to hear about it. Maybe if I turn everything on and off enough times it will work...

Can't turn off apple tv after 5.3 update

yeppers can't turn it off after the update and playing around with HBO GO. pressed the play button for many seconds, signed on to HBO GO and logged off. nada. I turned off wifi and everything is still working as if I had wifi on. I close iTunes and the only thing different is home sharing is off but I can listen to my songs using the music icon just can't see "my" movies. open itunes and all is there as if I had wifi on. yes, wifi is not turned on. any ideas or should I have read something about 5.3 that I didn't see.

**** never knew it just went to sleep, always thought it went off, geeze just found this out, lol. I updated from 5.0.1 or something like that to 5.3 so I guess lots has changed. I used to have to turn on wifi from the menu bar for anything to show up(other than the icons) and press the play button for a few seconds and it went to sleep(what I thought was off). now, it's always on, I can see the music, the movies(except the ones in my library). when I open itunes, I can see my movies in the library, all without turning on wifi in the menu bar. could this be because the wifi is always on and the update enables me to not have to turn wifi on in the menu bar, like I had to before? or is this a non issue because that's the way it works now? whew.
thanks all

Processed the last updgrade for my apple tv 2nd gen. Now holding down center button will not turn it off? anybody else having these issues?

Can you turn off apple tv and just watch your regular tv?

Can you turn off apple tv and just watch your regular tv?

I have an LG TV - I am still trying to work thru all this but on mine, I select TV on the TV remote and it takes me back to cable. Then when I want to return to Apple TV, I select INPUT on the remote and then HDMI. Took me right back to Apple TV.
(But I had already configured the TV for an external HDMI device during set up.)

I can't turn off Apple's "News" Rule

Can anyone help me turn off Apple's Rule for setting the background color to blue for News from Apple. According to Help, deselecting the checkbox in Mail > Prefs > Rules should turn it off but it doesn't.
Unrelated but it would be helpful to me to know: in Entourage, I am used to having an option for deleting a message from the server, but keeping the message locally. Does Mail have this option anywhere?
Thanks

I used the greyscal slider and changed the two Apple News messages to white. The question is, what happens when new Apple News messages come in since the Rule is still in effect. I'm not handy with Rules but couldn't I create a Rule to turn any Apple News message to this color white? Seems ridiculous but in lieu of the fact that I can't turn it off...
By now I've blown my cover as a grumpy curmudgeon so I won't hold back. Another reason I still use Entourage as my default email reader is I can't get Mail to not automatically retrieve my message as soon as I open it. I have it set Prefs>General>Check For New Mail: Manually. Yet every time I open Mail, it hurries up like an overanxious dog an gets all new mail. This screws me up because I already know I have junk mail and now have to delete it a second time. It's like Mail just does not respond to the commands I give it. (I know, I know, whining and grumbling) But seriously, how to turn off automatic News, and automatic checking for new mail?
Thanks

How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

Hello everyone
I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Regards
Pedro

When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

I cant turn off my iphone after updating to 2.0.1

When I turn off or shot down my iphone it goes on by itself. Does anyone hase the same problem?
Thank you!

How are you turning off your phone? Because if you're holding down the wake/sleep button and the home button at the same time, that will restart the phone and it will come back on. But if you're just holding down the wake/sleep button and swiping to turn off, then it should stay off.

Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
Thanks in advance.

WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
They are not connected.
Mute and rotation lock are independent. However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.
I wrote:

Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

Can't turn off Verbose Mode after running disk defrag in minimal environment using Drive Genius 3

New to posting on here. I'm using a
Mid-2009 15in MacBook Pro
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB memory
After running Disk Defrag in a minimal environment using Drive Genius 3 my MacBook Pro only starts up in Verbose Mode.
I've done my searching on how to turn verbose mode on and off on the web and it gets me nowhere.
Using
sudo nvram –p
in terminal shows that there is no " v" after " boot-args "
Using
sudo nvram boot-args=
to turn it off hasn't done anything.

I'm having the same issue but the solution suggested by prosoft doesn't work because that file des not exist.
Prosoft was able to help me.
First, FileVault is not reccomended and they are adding a FAQ to address that. Next, they said to trash this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
and to restart. It seemed to have worked for me.
If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be grateful.
Many Thanks.

Can I turn off iTunes Match auto update feature

I often tether my iPhone 5 to my MBP and while I have a large data allowance, I'd like to only tap into it when I choose to.
I've noticed that several times throughout the day, iTunes Match tries to scan my library and send info back to Apple.
Funny thing is, it does this even when there's nothing new in the library. I understand why it updates so frequently and when I'm on Wi-Fi I don't mind it at all.
Is there anyway to switch this to a manual operation rather than automatic?
A bonus question: I know it's sending data back to Apple's servers when it does this, but is it any amount worth fretting over?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
As far as I'm aware there is no auto update feature in iTunes Match on your computer. It would seem that you have a bug - the only time that iTunes should update is when you add new tracks, even then it is not immediate unless you select add to iCloud.
Occasionally, iTunes Match goes through the process of scanning my library again but this only happens after launching.

Third party remote won't turn off Apple TV

Hello,
I've set up a third party remote (Yamaha HTR-5740) and everything works great except I can't turn off Apple TV with the third party remote. I have to use the Apple TV remote. I can turn it on with the third party remote by pushing play, but not off. I can hold down play, pause, and stop, and nothing. Even tried holding down play and pause together. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

never mind.
