Do the Apple TV units fail?
My Apple TV unit has stopped receiving broadcasts from my Mac. The unit looks like it is on but it doesn't work through my surround sound receiver like it did about 2 weeks ago. It no longer takes a signal from my iPhone either.
Others have been reporting an issue that they think affects all ATV's…
Re: AppleTV 3 floods DHCP when ethernet connected
It's a little speculative until Apple release a fix or more users find the same issue, if your Wifi is OK it may be worth switching it back to that since the issue above seems to be on ethernet only.
You could also use wifi diagnostics to see if the wifi using channels that overlap with other devices.
About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support
Whatever the 'router issue' is you need to either resolve it or try another router. You can't know if the Apple TV is faulty if the supporting network is not working correctly.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What to do?
I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years.
I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed. Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services. It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install. The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes. This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows. However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back. I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable. -
i downloaded the latest itunes and i recieved a message that the apple mobile device failed to start. It asks me to verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services. What does this mean and how do I fix this so computer will sync iphone?
You need to follow the instructions of tt2 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086 to straighten it out.

TS3789 NO Sound from the Apple TV unit.
I have no sound at all. Just used it 30 minutes ago and it worked fine while using Netflix. Also tried restarting unit, but still no sound. Used AirPlay with ipad2, and get pictures but no sound. Get sound from tv using digital antenna and DVD player. is this a faulty unit?
FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE.....
After many days and days of trouble shooting and contact to Apple Phone Support (who wasn't able to help me out).... I finally managed to google the following result from an apple support link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2090
In my case the problem seemed to be that If the HDMI cable accidently is being removed (or pulled out) while both the TV and the Apple TV is powered on, the Apple TV might stop playing audio which it did in my case.
The following worked for me. disconnect the TV and the Apple TV from the power source (simple power off will not work). Wait for 10 seconds... Then first conntect the TV back to the power source... wait 10 seconds and then connect the Apple TV back to the power source. VOILA!!!

Understanding Home Sharing
Setting Up Home Sharing On A Computer -
My Apple TV has been working perfectly until last night. It now shows on the TV screen a white cable going from I Tunes to the back of the Apple TV. When we connected this to the computer using a micro cable the Apple TV isn't showing anywhere on the ITunes sight. When a search is done it doesn't come up at all. It's as if the Apple TV is dead. Not sure what to do as this was the last attempt at restoring its settings as per instructions.
Did you follow the steps exactly? Removing all cables, then connecting via micro usb. If you have a 3rd gen device you need to connect the power following micro usb.

I cannot find the apple tv icon on my iTunes when I plug in the apple tv unit to my mac book
How do I restore my apple tv when I cannot get the apple tv icon to appear on my iTunes when I connect my apple tv to my macbook?
You have to use a micro-usb cable
Here's a manual with a screenshot. In iTunes 12, the ATV logo is just about in the same spot, but without the actual words "apple tv" next to it:

The apple email application fails to open
The apple email application on my macbook air seem to have crashed. The last time it worked it froze on attempt to send an email attachment and refused to close. I tried forced shut down, which eventually closed it. Since then it has not been functional. Please advice. Thank you.
hello warnerm, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version which will be addressed in the release candidate 1 build which should be deployed via auto-updates to beta users tomorrow.
a workaround for the moment would be to enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name '''browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL''' and value '''https://sb-ssl.google<i></i>.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%'''

An "Out of Contract" Optus iPhone 4S accepted and worked perfectly with a Telstra SIM.
Following an upgrade to IOS7.0.4 the iPhone 4S will no longer work with the Telsta SIM.
The following error message is recieved
“The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported”
Apple Store Genius Bar on checking the 4S iphone in the Apple database indicate that the Service Details Policy is assigned to “Australia Optus (Singtel)” and only Optus can unlock it.
Optus indicate that teh iPhone is unlocked and I have a stalmate as noone is able to advise how to rectify the issue.
A checkof teh Telstra SIM was undertaken on another IOS6 Optus 4S iPhone and it functioned correctly.
I am aware others have had this issue as there is a reference to it on the Optus Support Community.
It means that an international SIM cannot be used in teh iPhone until the issue is resolved
I am of teh opinion teh it is an IOS7 software upgrade issue not a problem with teh harware or the carrier
I await any feedback
Thank you
wp72rgn49You're welcome.
Since the iPhone is carrier locked with Optus, the only way it could work with another carrier's SIM card and service under iOS 6 was by hacking/jailbreaking the iPhone to unlock it. Installing an iOS update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier it was sold as carrier locked with when new.
All Optus carrier locked iPhones are not unlocked with iOS 7.
Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behalf. Since Apple's database shows the iPhone as being locked with Optus, Optus must send the unlock request to Apple for the iPhone. When the unlock process is ready, the unlocking is done with iTunes on your computer. This is the only way a carrier locked iPhone can be officially unlocked. -
Since the last few upgrades of iTunes, the Devices Sync problem arised. Tried removal of itunes as advised, and re- install, Itunes can be started and music can be played, but no devices such as iPhone 4, 5S, and ipad 4 were not recognised....Each time an Error code #2, saying Apple Mobile Service.exe was not found......During instaallation, an erro message suggested insufficient Privelege for access to Apple Mobile Service.exe may be a cause.....Or file not found in Local System.....

anybody able to help me with my setup for apple tv. i've followed the directions in the guide and my tv doesn't seem to register in part. it's weird because my tv system info identifies the apple tv but the screen never went black and it doesn't show anything, too, my imac doesn't seem to register the apple tv unit either
I would try connecting it to another tv to see if it works there if it does
then likely your tv can't handle the default resolution and you should lower it on the other tv
if not then you should connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore it's firmware -

I constantly keep getting thsi error message and have no idea how to fix this issue. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
@ pcfixer1. Can't thank you enough for your input and fix below regarding the "apple mobile device failed to start" error 1503. After a full week scouring the web, attempting or applying fixes to no avail, your resolution was the one that worked. The only thing I'd like to add, if I may, is that I was able to assign the only admin account (mine) to the "Login" tab and didn't have to create another Admin account in its place. All I simply did was assign my User Profile name and password for the current account, applied it as you instructed and was immediately then able to start the "AMD" service. Absolutely BRILLIANT!

I know how to fix it! Yet this fix is not anywhere on the internet. Just go to services again, and right click apple mobile device, then properties, and then on logon you need to create a new account with admin privilage, and then assign the new admin account to the login tab, apply the changes, and then start the service. It worked for me, and I am able to use my iphone again. Note that you cannot choose the same account you use wether it's admin or not, as it will come with the 1609 error. I hope it works for the rest of you guys.
Best of luck,

I have a 3 1/2 year old MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz. Suddenly I started getting kernel freezes....your computer need to shut down.... Sometimes I get the same message at upstart. Sometimes the screen starts blinking and them freezes with grey/green lines down the screen. The Apple hardware test failed with failure code: 4VCD/1/40000003: VideoController. I can start from the restart in hardware test.
Any suggestions out there?? Anything a non apple technician can do?The service shop said they couldn't do the graphic card test, so they believe it isn't covered by the repair program. But they said the card is the problem, just not that problem
