How to blank screen during music usage with Apple TV.

How do a select a blank screen as a screen saver when listening to music. I would like to save energy and minimize tv screen usage.  I don't want to show pictures or anything. My screen is currently on all day as I listen to music. Any adjustments with my Samsung tv during Apple TV stops Apple TV. I have an Apple TV 3.

Like I said, the Tv would need to be on unless connected via optical, that is not software related. Not a lot of energy would be saved by having a blank screen. The majority do use the screensaver to showcase their pictures and there wouldn't be a lot of call for having a blank screen.

  • [Dell E5510] Blank screen during and after boot

    Hello,
    I performed system update some time ago (2 or 3 weeks) and left my computer unused. Today I tried to power on it and I was very surprised, because I didn't see anything on screen during boot and after it. I rebooted computer in fallback mode (I also added "i915.modeset=0" to kernel init args), and I saw command line. Then I updated whole system and rebooted it again - no luck again blank screen during boot and after.
    I rebooted it one more time, but with default kernel (I disabled KMS again via GRUB command line) and I saw systemd output during boot. I teems, that all services were started successfully, because all messages were prefixed with "OK". Then I cloud only use command line, because Gnome 3 was not running under seventh console.
    Any idea what is going one here?

    Hi ausrius517,
    Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your device.
    Have you tried performing the following resets to see if it will solve your issue:
    Soft Reset - this will not delete and data off your device.
    Enter *#7780# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)
    If there are not too much data on your device and you have made a backup, you can go for the hard reset option below.
    Hard Reset - this will wipe all data off your device, so a backup is recommeded before doing this.
    Enter *#7370# into your phone's keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 (default code)

  • I've update my music using an external disk; now I uploaded agin the music  but it doesn't appear in Itunes. How can I synchronize the music folder with Itunes?

    I've managed my music downloading and uploading it from an external disk; I put the music into the Finder MUSIC folder and copyed it into Itubìnes but it does't appear. What Do I have to do? How can I synchronize the Musice Folder with Itunes?

    Chris, thanks for the reply.
    That's what I'm confused about. I did exactly what you said. I copied the entire music folder from the old computer and put it in the music folder on the new computer. I've tried that two or three times now. And, I've checked, and all of the files are there (that's what I meant by 'clicking on Itunes Media'--when I click on the iTunes media folder in music/itunes in Finder, all of the files are there). But, when I open iTunes, nothing shows up--no movies, no music, no tv shows. It seems like it should be so simple, but it won't work for me.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks so much.

  • HT4623 how can i sync my music from my apple pc to my iPhone 4s

    how can i sync my music from my apple pc to my iphone 4s

    Syncing with iTunes
    Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
    sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
    Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information
    about syncing iPhone with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the
    Help menu.
    Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on the computer,
    select your iPhone (under Devices), click Summary, then turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection.”
    When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs every day. iPhone must be connected to a power
    source, iPhone and your computer must both be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must
    be open on your computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 136.
    Tips for syncing with iTunes
    • If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them
    to your device using iTunes.
    • Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone are synced back to your
    iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on
    your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync when your device is
    attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and
    Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the
    information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are
    indicated by a lock icon  , and a separate password is required to restore the backup. If you
    don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in
    the backup and will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore the device.
    • In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
    your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t affect the
    account on your computer.
    • In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you replace the information on
    iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
    • If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, the place you left off is included if you sync
    the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPhone, you can pick up where you left off
    using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
    • In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

  • Lumia 930 blank screen during call

    My Lumia 930 screen goes blank during all calls. Iti is black whether the phone is next to my ear or not. In practice I cannot end a call or do anything else cause the screen keyboard is not available.
    My son has a Lumia 920 which had very much the same problem but it was somehow fixed when the device was at Nokia service last year because of some camera problems. No idea still about the root cause of that case either.
    Any idea how to fix my blank screen problem?

    I have the exact same issue with my brand new Lumia 930 - the screen goes black (a bit randomly) when talking on the phone. I used a trick decribed in a post with the same issue on a 920, which is to firmly wipe just above the N in Nokia in the top right corner on the phone (where the sensors are) which helps. However, it is not really fixing the problem.
    Is there anybody knowing another solution but to return the phone, which feels a bit cumbersome to say the least?
    Thanks,
    Erik

  • [MOOT] UEFI USB Install (from 201306 image) - blank screen during boot

    I am trying to install Arch Linux on a Lenovo ThinkPad T431s. 
    I created a bootable UEFI USB disk image following the instructions on the wiki.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO
    Attempting to boot from this image I get to a screen that looks like:
    Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB
    UEFI Shell x86_64 v1
    UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
    After selecting the first option, I get a blank screen.
    This appears to be the same (or very similar) to the following issues:
    [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151599
    [2] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158530
    As suggested by
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Preparation
    I tried appending a number of things to the initrd line
    nomodeset
    video=SVIDEO-1:d
    i915.modeset=0
    with no success (the blank screen was exactly the same).
    Some posts in thread [2] indicated that booting in legacy bios mode worked.  I created a new disk image (again following the wiki instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … ion_Media) and was able to confirm that I could successfully boot from this other image after switching into legacy mode.
    In thread [1], there was the suggestion to go into a UEFI shell and try a command like
    Shell > fs0:
    FS0:\ > cd \arch\boot\x86_64
    FS0:\arch\boot\x86_64\ > vmlinuz archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201306 initrd=\arch\boot\x86_64\archiso.img
    which I did.  After pressing enter nothing happened (the screen did not go blank, all the text remained, no messages appeared).
    Eventually in that same thread, a workaround was suggested in this post.  I have not tried this because I was unable to understand what exactly was being done, both because of the terse nature of the post and the fact that the referenced article is not in a language which I read (and google translate did not make it clear enough).  I was unable to evaluate whether that was a sensible thing to do.
    Now, finally, the questions
    Firstly, does anyone have any suggestions about how to solve or troubleshoot my blank screen issue?
    If not, does anyone have an opinion about which of the workarounds (switching into legacy mode or the one that I don't quite understand yet) would be better?  I am not planning to dual boot the system, so I do not need to use UEFI to be win8 friendly, etc.

    Neri, did you get any further with this? I just got my own Thinkpad Yoga and am facing the same problems. Everything works fine in legacy Boot but the screen stays black on UEFI boot regardless of the known workarounds.
    might it help to first install using legacy boot and later on convert to UEFI?
    Not really with Arch directly anyways. What you can do is:
    1. Use Fedora 20 USB to boot the sucker up
    2. Use Archlinux-bootstrap install (download expand etc)
    3. Use refind as the bootmanager seems to solve the dual boot issues
    ATM i'm fighting a mkinitcpio segfault. But that is after the installation was basically successful.  It would be nice if we can find a way to fix the install medium ...
    EDIT:
    All sorted out. Unfortunately you'll have to bypass the Archlinux Install medium and resort to the fedora 20 installer. I used the XFCE4
    version for a smaller download.
    Here are the basic steps for a Dual-Boot setup:
    In windows (Disk Management) truncate your C: Drive.  I ended up making basically what will became /dev/sda4 smaller and didn't not
    touch any partition or free space before that. Here's the final Layout:
    /dev/sda:
        empty space
    1. recovery partition
    2. ESP
    3. reserved
    4. windows
    5. Linux Root
    6. Linux home
    7. Swap
    The installation happened from within Fedora Live using an Archlinux Boot strap image according to the Wiki for installing from an
    existing Linux and the Wiki Installation Guide.  I mounted /dev/sda2 (aka. the existing ESP partition) as /boot and installed refind
    according to the wiki. Please note, when you install Arch through the archlinux bootstrap method make sure you  pacman -S archlinux-keyring
    in the bootstrap chroot first before you run the pacstrap command - it will accelerate the process tremendously!
