How do I turn the Apple TV on and off?

I know if I hold down the Play/Pause button for 6 seconds it goes to sleep, but how do I turn it entirely off?

This has been discussed at length in other topics in this forum. See for instance Can I leave the Apple TV plugged in all the time?.
Bottom line: the only way to turn it off completely is to unplug it from the wall. It was apparently not designed to be turned off completely so that sync & announcing its network presence to iTunes hosts will continue to work automatically.

  • How does one turn the french keys on and off in the wireless keyboard?

    how does one turn on and off the French keys on a wirleless keyboard?

    Hello dustysmart,
    I believe what is going on is that you have a secondary keyboard turned on within Windows. When you press alt + shift at the same time you are alternating between the two keyboards.
    To check this (and possibly delete the French keyboard if you don't want it) you can go into Control Panel and check under Change Keyboard.
    This article will provide you instructions depending on which version of Windows you are using.

  • My iPhone 5's screen will only blink the apple logo on and off but never fully turn on

    When I plug in my iPhone 5, it will only blink the apple logo on and off but never fully turn on. I tried to reset and that didn't help, any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • My ipod keeps showing the apple logo on and off after i updated it?

    my ipod keeps showing the apple logo on and off after i updated it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

    found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

    You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

  • I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

    I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

    I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
    When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?
