How do you power off the apple tv after update 9/24/12

How do you turn the unit off? After the update we got the new feature of moving the icons around, but that is done by holding the select button down. Wasn't that the old way of powering it off? So is settings and sleep now or sleep timer the only way? hmmm.

yes, thats the only way.
That's actually incorrect. The function has moved to the play/pause button on the remote. However this seems to only work with the Apple remote that shipped with the Apple TV. I've tried it on a "learned" remote, and it didn't work.
So just hold the play/pause button and the Apple TV will go to sleep.

Technically there is no way to power off the Apple TV (unless you unplug it). Holding down the button on the remote only puts it to sleep. It's always been that way.

    It never actually powers off but will go into idle/sleep state as Kate suggests.
    To be honest it uses under 6W of power when in use, less when not so it may not be a huge problem, though I suppose every little helps when it comes to saving power.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

    Does the apple tv have a off the apple tv?

    Here's How:
    To put the Apple TV into Standby mode, click the Menu button on the remote until the main menu is onscreen.
    Scroll down to the last option in the left column, Settings. Choose it.
    Scroll down to the last option in right column, Standby. Choose it.
    You'll know the Apple TV is in standby mode because the white light on the front of the case will turn off and it will stop sending video to your TV.
    Wake it up by clicking any button on the remote.

  • HT1430 How do you power off a i Phone in Assistive Touch?

    I have to use Assistive Touch on my phone because the power button does not work, how do I power off the phone completely when I use Assistive Touch?

    Enable AssistiveTouch: Tap Settings, General, Accessibility, AssistiveTouch (near the bottom) and tap AssistiveTouch to ON.
    You will now notice a small dark square with a circle in the middle (you can move this square anywhere). Tap the dark circle to open the AssistiveTouch menu, then tap Device and tap andhold the Lock Screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider - no need for a power button any longer!
    Plug it into a power source, & it should turn on.

  • How do you turn off the voice on the Ipod Nano 7th generation

    How do you turn off the automated voice that tells you how to work the Ipod Nano 7th Generation?

    Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns VoiceOver off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't do it then there are instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 - you can either do it either directly on the iPad or when connected to your computer's iTunes

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
