Flashing White Light

When I plug my Apple TV (2nd gen) into TV, I get a flashing white light and an iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable on the screen.
I've also noticed there is no micro-usb that comes with the tv either

sounds like a hardware fault.
either get an micro USB cable and restore it using itunes, or return it to apple as a faulty unit.

apple don't provide a micro USB just the same as they don't provide an HDMI cable.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    Thanks for you response!  I have had it for about 5-6 years ... don't know if that is "vintage" or not.  I just got back from our local Geneis Bar and they declared it "DOA."  So, I've got a new one and getting ready to install.  Thanks, again!

  • Imac starts with a black screen and flashing white light on console

    I have a 24" imac, it is white and it is from the first year they used the intel chip. When I power it up I get a black blank screen and then the white light on the lower right side of the console flashes on and off. I hear the disk drive spin (I put the 10.4 install disk in ) and it does nothing. How do I get the disk out. I even tried holding down the mouse button at start up and that doesn't work.
    I tried to remedy this myself by resetting pram. I have taken out memory and put it back in. I have been able to get it running twice before by taking out memory and putting it back in but it only worked for a little while and then I turned it off and went to turn it back on and same problem again. Is this a logic board problem or something else. I think I read if it was the logic board the disk drive wouldn't work but I hear it spinning.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi MacGruff69
    That has all the classic signs of unseated, improperly seated or bad RAM.
    Laying the iMac face down on a soft towel and reseat the module(s) by pressing real hard on each one with both thumbs, then closing the ejector clips and replacing the cover.

    Them if the iMac still has the same symptoms, try one module at a time or replace the module(s) with new one(s).

  • My g5 imac will not turn on and has a flashing white light

    Could somebody please advise me?
    I tried to install RAM in my imac g5.
    Unfortunately I purchased the wrong RAM so when I opened the bottom I took out the original RAM to compare the two and put the original (512mb) back in, closed the compartment and sealed the bottom with the two screws again.
    When I tried to turn the imac back on the screen was blank and the white light in the bottom right hand corner was repeatedly flashing.
    Help...

    I had the same issue.  Found another post that you need to push with surprising force with two thumbs.  I did so, felt a slight click; started it and we're golden.  Pulling the old RAM out though, I realized it has little tolerance for torque without jamming.  So save the force for when you are certain you are in straight.

  • HT1551 just updated my apple TV and whit light is flashing continuously and nothing is on the screen anymore.

    Can anyone help with this please?
    Just updated the Apple TV and the white light is now flashing quickly and nothing is on the screen.  Can't access it with the remote from the Ipad.

    Same problem here.  Long time Apple fan, own lots of their products... Greatly disappointed.
    Bought a brand new Apple TV, worked fine for 3 days but then the picture went blank (possibly after an auto update?) and I observed a quickly flashing white light on the Apple TV.  Manual indicates this means it is "having problems" (no kidding) and recommends restoring the software via a micro-USB cable (cable not provided).
    Acquired a cable and attempted this fix but after following the procedure the Apple TV never showed up in iTunes, so I'm unable to perform the restore.  Returning the device today, not sure if we want to get another or just give up and save the $100.

  • HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor.  Why? How do I avoid this problem?

    Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not.  Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph.  A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device.  Why?  How do I avoid this going forward?

    I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store.  The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

  • What to do when ps4 has blinking white light?

    Ok I turned my ps4 on last night, the watchdogs disc had been in there so selected to play it and nothing happened! I could not navigate the menu, everything froze, so tried ejecting the disc and it just beeped. I tried pressing the on off button on console then it just went to flashing white light continuously! I tried pressing the button again, disc eject, nothing! In the end I cut the power! Turned console back on, rebuilt database and then was greeted by message saying don't cut power before shutdown, but what the heck was I supposed to do?

    Thank you! YOU ARE AWESOME

  • HT3180 Flashing white lite on 1st generation apple tv

    Flashing white light on 1st generation apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately that isn't a good sign, you might try removing ALL the cables from the Apple TV and leaving it for a while before powering it up again. If this doesn't help, your unit may have failed.

  • HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

    Was the restore done via iTunes?

    If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

    That normally indicates an issue with system memory. The startup sequence can't complete the boot due to a memory issue. Take it in for service.
