CP900 fails to boot (shows Canon screen but never progresses)

Even after disconnecting power for 24hrs, when powering on my CP900 shows the Canon screen but never progresses past that state. Is there a way to hard-factory-reset at power-on ?
Any other ideas or solutions to revive it?

One thing - I assume you've unplugged all power/leads from AppelTV for a few mins and tried again.
You will not be easily able to replace the hard drive as all the software is on it, so unless you had another AppleTv to dismantle and copy the drive (PATA not SATA 2.5"), you couldn't just stick a new drive in - there is no utility to rebuild the software on the drive available to the consumer.
No way I'm aware of to perform diagnostics if you can't do the reboot to diagnostics remote sequence you mentioned earlier.
Personally, unless you have a 2.5" PATA caddy/adapter lying around, and are prepared to dismantle and play, I think you'd be better off getting a replacement device or even a refurb from Apple with the same warranty.
By all means enquire at your Apple store if they can repair, but I doubt it'd be offered or even economical.
If you're happy to dismantle you could test the drive to see if it's alive using a PATA 2.5" drive connector/caddy connected to a Mac.
While it might be another issue, I think the grinding noise and ? flashing really point to it being unable to find a boot volume due to drive failure.

  • Macbook Pro boot shows black screen with white text cursor

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro 7,1 MC374xx/A running Mavericks.  My box has two internal hard drives in it.  One had the Mac OS installed to it, and the other has absolutely nothing on it.  I decided to give Boot Camp Assistant a try and chose the hard drive with nothing on it to install Windows on.  I also had an external USB DVD drive attached with the Windows 7 installation disc on it.
    So, next thing ya know, my Mac reboots and loads a black screen that says "Memory Overload." I take out the external USB drive and restart.  Then it said, "No boot devices found."  Now for whatever reason, it's just a black screen with a white text cursor.
    What the heck happened?
    I selected command R and confirmed that I installed Boot Camp on the right hard drive (the drive that did not contain my Mac OS).  Then, I completely erased everything from the drive with Boot Camp on it.  But still..black screen with white text cursor.
    I have no Time Machine backups available so I'm forced to reinstall the OS.  Any idea why this happened?  It seems I must have attempted to install Boot Camp improperly.  Any ideas or instructions on what to do now or how to install Boot Camp successfully on the Macbook Pro I own?
    Earnestly,
    Speck

  • Apple TV is shows on screen but will not do anything.

    Hey,
    Can anyone help me with the problem i am having, when i plug in my apple TV it shows on the screen but i cant do anything. I cant restart it at all or move and do anything. If anyone has any problem fixing it i would be all ears

    Welcome to the Apple Community T.McDonald.
    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.

  • I've got an 8 1/2 year old I Pod that just stopped playing. battery shows over half charged, song shows on screen but I can't shut it off or move it to another song or get it to work on I tunes off my computer

    my 8 1/2 year old i pod quit working. the battery is charged but the i pod won't play or advance to next song or work on i tunes. its like it just died and i haven't dropped it or got it wet. help?

    Howdy sld1106,
    It sounds like you are able to see the screen but it is otherwise unresponsive. I would start by resetting the iPod with this article:
    Reset your iPod - Apple Support
    That should get your iPod back and working. If not let the device charge for 30 minutes, and then try turning it on normally first, and reset it one more time if it doesn't turn on.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Airtunes speaker show in iTunes, but never connects

    Help. There is no diagnostics, nothing.
    My airtunes speakers show in iTunes, but when I go to connect to them to play sound through them it never connects.
    What can I do to find the problem, let alone fix it?

    You did not mention if you receive an error message or not, or even if your connection did in fact work fine at some point, or if you tried using Airport set-up or if you verified your overall connection settings etc, etc - it's helpful to add these kinda details otherwise you can have any number of issues going on, some may not even relate to your base station or AX (airport express/air tunes) - That said, I'll toss a suggestion into the proverbial ring.
    Go to your Airport Admin Utility (Applications>Utility>Airport Admin Utility) and check that your main base station and AX appear in the list of stations, which they should. Select the AX you use to connect to your stereo/speakers, a new window will open, you may be asked to enter your password.
    From the tabs along the top of the new window that opened, select Internet. See that your >Configure option is set to 'Using DHCP.' Save and try to connect to your speaker.
    If this does not work, post back with details about your situation - What you offered in your initial query is totally too vague. What does "There is no diagnostics, nothing." mean anyway?
    Hope this helps, good luck.

  • Lightroom mobile sync "hangs" - I am trying to sync several small LR collections from my desktop computer.  The first collection syncs, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang.  It shows "Syncing 150 photos" in top left, but never progresses even after c

    I am using Lightroom 5.5 on OS X.  I have created several small collections with about 180 images and I am trying to sync them via Lightroom mobile for later iPad access.  The first collection syncs properly, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang.  The label in the upper right shows "Syncing 150 photos" but does not count down.  Opening and closing LR does not restart the process.

    PROBLEM STILL EXISTS...
    I spoke to soon!  I tried adding a couple of more collections to sync.  Lightroom shows "Syncing 814" photos on upper left, but never apparently syncs any.  If I exit Lightroom it notifies me there are 814 images to sync.  When I reopen it seems to pick up and stall where it left off.  These new collections are not posting - this is the same problem as before.
    I am pretty sure there is a serious bug in Lightroom here.  I encourage support to contact me.

  • HT201263 iPad recovery mode says "Waiting for iPad" but never progresses.  Any suggestions?

    I have a iPad 2 that will not power up nor will it recover.  When plugged in, iTunes detects the iPad is in recovery mode and tells me I must restore to continue.  I agree and iTunes downloads the recovery and updates file, decompressed it, verifies it, then says it is Preparing the iPad for recovery.  I then get the apple logo on the iPad screen with a progress bar.  iTunes then says "Waiting for iPad".  The progress bar never moves and iTunes has said Waiting for iPad for 2-hours now.  When I disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, the logo/progress bar remains until I do a hard reset (home button/power button) to power it off.  Power button alone will not power it off.  Again, the iPad will not power up and again, iTunes will recognize it when plugged in and the whole cycle starts over again.

    When did this start happening? I mean, what was happening to the ipad that prompted you to try a restore in the first place?
    Did this start when trying to updated the ios?
    There were some issues awhile back with ipad 2 and updating to ios 6.1. The ios file had to be downloaded seperately to the computer and all other previous ios update files previously downloaded had to be deleted from the computer.
    If what I'm saying describes the issue, then take a look at the following article links, otherwise, you may just have to keep trying to follow HT1808 (it may take several attempts).

  • Macbook 13 boots to blank screen but still works on external. What's wrong?

    My Late 2008 Macbook Aluminum Unibody screen suddenly stopped working for me today. I booted it up, heard a chime, but the screen is a dark blue tint. It doesn't show anything on the screen at all. I can change the brightness and darkness of the screen. I can hear sounds when I hit the volume up and down, but no display. I don't know what is wrong with it and why it suddenly stopped working. Why can I still control brightness, but can't see anything? It works on an external monitor just fine, just not on the screen itself.

    Hi, firetiger.... i have the EXACT same problem!!! i have the same Macbook aluminum unibody screen also. I have no idea how to fix it. I'm also out of warranty and i've tried everything... resetting the pram, trying to restart in safe mode, trying to boot from a cd... .NOTHING WORKS!!! i can still control brightness itself but ive never tried attaching to an external monitor. I know everything is loaded correctly... i just don't know whats wrong. If you have any ideas.. please let me know. Also, I think apple will fix the macbook pros with a similar issue for free http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 but i know this doesnt apply for me. hopefully they work something out because I really love that computer!!!

  • Broken Menu Page - Won't Show On Screen  (But, Works Functionally)

    I've created an iDVD '08 project and have created a disk image to check and make sure everything is working properly. Unfortunately, when I play the DVD (disk image) one of the menu pages won't appear on screen when you navigate to it. I can blindly navigate that menu page's options (because I have them memorized), but the menu itself never appears.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Further Details:
    I've tried creating multiple disk images and the problem persists. I've also tried to tweak the options on that specific menu to see if that would fix the glitch, all to no avail.
    The menu in question appears in this order: MAIN MENU (Choices: 1 Movie, 1 Sub-Menu) --> SUB MENU (Choices: 5 Sub-Menus) --> *BROKEN MENU* (Choices: 3 Sub-Menus, 2 Movies, 1 Slideshow) --> FURTHER SUB MENUS
    All of the menus have custom MP3 music playing in the background. Most are longer, but this specific menu page that is broken has music that plays for 01:38 (loop duration of 01:39). (The music plays. Again, you just can't see the menu.) In the one drop zone, there is one picture. (I don't know if this picture is a .jpg or a .pct.)
    I'm using the "Brushstroke" theme (a 6.0 Theme) and the broken menu is a "chapters" theme. (All of the other "chapters" sub-menus appear fine.)

    I fixed it.
    Just in case anyone else has this issue, the problem (I think) was this: I had a "Movie" button on the sub-menu page in question that had only a " " as the title text.
    (This was by design. The "movie" was intended to be a hidden "Easter Egg" that viewers could play only if they knew how to navigate to the button.)
    I fixed the problem by adding actual text to the button's title text. (I managed to make that title text disappear by changing the opacity, thereby making it invisible.)
    Hope that helps someone.

  • Macbook Pro boots to grey screen but won't start up. How do I fix it?

    Today I set my Macbook Pro on the couch but it slipped of and landed on its side (closed) on wood floor.  Nothing broke, it all seems pretty normal.  I pushed the power button to turn it on, but it only loaded to the grey screen with the apple and the spinning circle.  I left it sitting there loading for several minutes, but nothing happened.  I tried force shut down several times and restarted it.  It still did the exact same thing.  How do I fix it?

  • Shows "space background", but never get any further in install

    So I, just got my copy of Leopard today, but I can't use it!
    I am trying to install it, and it shows a grey screen for a couple of seconds, then the screen shows the main space background theme. It never asks for languages, and I can hear the HD spin every now and then (like it's trying to do something), but the installation will never get past the screen.
    I've tried everything I could think of: I put my original Apple Drive back in, disconnected all devices (except keyboard and mouse, airport) and have tried booting several times. It is not a hardware issue, as it never says anything, I have a 1.66GHz G5, >1GB RAM and I don't know whats going on here. Please help!
    -Parker

    I am having the same issue. I am in the 10.4.10 - drop in the Leopard disc and click the "Install" icon. It asks me to restart and I type in my password. It restarts and then comes up to the "cosmic" screen and stops.
    The next thing would be making a language selection and it doesn't get that far.
    I know about the language selection screen because I used this same Family Pack Leopard DVD to install it on my Mac Book (2.0GHz with 2GB Ram).
    I let the Power Mac sit for a LONG time and it does nothing.
    I have tried it with the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse keyboard away from the machine and a wired version of each (the only way to get the DVD out by the way is using the wired mouse).
    I am going to try some other things (unhooking everything else - printer, etc...), but this doesn't seem right.
    Again, Power Mac Quad Core Intel box, with 2GB Ram, 5 internal hard drives (4 raided and installing to the 5th) with nothing else really special (upgraded graphics card, but it was from the factory).
    I'm not happy since I took it upon myself last night to buy the Family Pack of Leopard, iLife '08 and iWork '08. $400 for nothing at this point since I don't want to install more software on my machine until this upgrade goes well.
    Ideas? Apple - if you're listening, PLEASE pay attention to your computers and take a break from the iPhone for 5 minutes. I know it's making you a ton of money - but come on!
