Did a Factory Reset -- Now I'm Really Messed Up!

I've been have a pile of challenges with my ATV.
Recently I posted explaining where I thought I was at and what was happening:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3576520
So ...
I unhooked my ATV from my TV and plugged it to my iMac using the Micro USB and did a full factory restore.
Now ...
I plugged it bak to the TV and stated from scratch -- had to tell it to use English, that I didn't live in Cuplertino's Time Zone, bla bla bla
I found my wifi network and plugged in the password.
When I tab to Computers it says "Turn Home Sharing On" (home sharing is "on" on my computer's iTunes -- or at least I believe it is). I type in my apple username (the one I use for the iTunes Store and when I log on to this discussions Support Community) and password it whirls away and then says:"Unable to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. Please try again later."
When I try to play Internet radio I get: "! Could not connect to "(null)" Make sure your computer has iTunes open and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
I think I'm slipping backwards every step!
My ATV shows it is picking up my wifi with a strong signal. I now have ATV software 4.4.4 (3330)
Any ideas?

Update
As much so I can recall what I did ...
went to the Genius Bar and they plugged my ATV into thier TV and I could log on using my Apple ID.
So we figured the issue was with my network.
When I upgraded to my new N router the cable guy told me to plug my desktop directly into the router -- faster, more dependable. But with Airplay turned off the Apple TV freaked out.
So I have unplugged my iMac from my router and am running it (and the ATV) wifi.
So far so good,
Still ... I wonder if I'm sacrificing some computer internet performance. But it works for now and I'm leaving it well enough alone.

TS4006 Did a factory reset now phone wont restore, itunes doesnt recognise phone all i get is emergency calls only

I did a factory reset now i am unable to restore, itunes shows a usb connector but is frozen, phone shows emergency calls only, can ANYONE point me in the right direction

Try rebooting the phone - hold both buttons (top and home) until the apple appears.

I did the factory reset, now my phone is REALLY jacked!

After the IceCream Sammich whatever update, my phone was possessed. Camera came on at will, in my pocket mostly. Calls would get stuck behind some non screen preventing me from answering, etc etc. Superdude at VZWireless store said I had to do the factory reset, so I did. Now, every time I try to go to Google play, it says no connection if I'm not on wi-fi. WTH?! My 4g showed up for like the 1st 5 minutes, now mobile network keeps saying turning on. I can call out, but that's about all i can do. Sync says "sync is having issues and should be back soon"!! Really, this is the IMPROVED version?

Couple things to try,
Take off back cover, try cleaning the metal contacts in the cover. Those are your antenna for WIFI, Mobile Net and bluetooth.
Do you have screen protector? If you do, MAKE sure it is positioned right. If it is too close to proximity sensor it will sometimes cause the screen not to come on. I had that problem with my Rezound.
I have found, just my two cents, I think touch screen phones just don't like being in pockets. They do some crazy stuff.
Rest of your issues, Like Demmo said, might be your SIM card.

I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.

I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

Why won't it let you sync? What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents? In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

HELP I did a factory reset on my dv7-6195

Please help.I did a factory reset on my laptop. and following instuctions i backed up my files onto an go-flex external drive.Im assuming it backed up programs as well as libraries ..documents etc...its on g local disc.when i view the drive i just see a bunch of numbers so i really dont know how to get the desired files back on my computer.i did a paste and copy of the drive but it just copied it back on to the drive. so oviously im a complete novice w everything computer. with having a factory reset the files they ask me to backup...cant be added{ recovered} because the manager says no back up has been performed so i know im doing something wrong.there an option to include the folders-files in the library would that make the files more discript ? then i can move them to their appropriate locations..including back onto the external drive..this is all guess work..and finally im under warranty and have total care as well...im running windows 7..thank you in advance. oh and something went amiss when the copy was made but one window covered the other window to see what happened to the file.

Usually there is one .EXE file within the backed up files, Restore.exe or similiar, that can be double clicked to run and it extracts the files to a folder on your C drive.

Hi Hallry,

If the alternate Hard Reset does not work, then the device would need to be replaced. How long have you had this device? Any liquid or physical damage to the device? Keep me posted

I sold my iPad and put it in the mail and it seems to be stolen, I did a factory reset of the iPad to clear my data. Is there any way to retrieve it?

I sold my iPad on eBay. I mailed the item and the buyer claims to not have it. I did a factory reset before sending and it is not coming up in my cloud. Is there another way to retrieve it?

If it was restored as new then it no longer can be tracked.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Factory Reset now will not boot, No WebOS doctor available in profile

I did a factory reset on my HP Touchpad to give to my son as a christmas gift. However, I boot the system up then select English, Then select the Country United States and the system hangs Its been doing this for a couple days. I then shut down the system turned it back on and does the same thing over and over. I go to my www.palm.com and log in and the WebOS doctor does not show up on my profile. Does anyone know how to install the software back on the TouchPad so I can get it back up and running?

They are .jar files. These are executable java files. Some browsers have been known to change the extension to .zip by mistake. Try using a different browser to d/l the file.
Go to www.java.com and let the website check your installation for the latest version.
Be sure you have the latest install of java on your PC.
Did you get the large USB symbol before proceeding? You will need the novacom drivers.
If the process fails, rinse and repeat! Reboot everything (you have tried holding both power and center buttons depressed on the TP for >15 seconds, right?) and try again.
Good luck, and be patient - I've seen the doctor pause for 10 - 15 minutes before proceeding...
