HT1551 No HDMI picture Unless I power Apple TV off/on

Just bought Apple TV and it works fine, however if I switch my TV over to a differnt HDMI channel, say my PVR on HDMI1 and then switch back to Apple TV on HDMI2 I get a "No Signal" message.
The only was I can get Apple TV to display again is to power it off and on again.
I don't want to have to do this every time I use it, any suggestions please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What types of signal does it support, is it widescreen and does it support 720p.

My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off. How to fix?

Hello,
My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off. This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago. If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging. Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
This is a very annoying problem. Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit. Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone. The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

HT1688 SINCE DOING THE LATEST APPLE IPHONE 4 UPDATE MY PHONE WILL NOT TURN ON. ONLY GET A PICTURE OF THE POWER CORD AND AN ITUNES ICON. WHAT DO I DO?

Since doing the latest update on my iphone 4 when I try to turn on the phone all i get is a picture of a power cord and an itunes icon. what do i do?

You can reload your data from your most recent backup. If you backup at least weekly, you would only lose anything added since that backup.

Apple tv goes into sleep mode but doesn't boot up (tv screen is blank) unless I power it off thn back on.

apple tv 2 will operate normaly after initial startup, but doesn't always wake out of sleep mode. Status light is steady white but no image is displayed on the tv screen. Power the unit off then back on and the menu appears on the screen. Any thoughts? Just did the latest software update...

Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

Update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow.

The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow. Most infuriating is that YouTube was deleted from my entertainment apps and I now have to pay for it if I want it back!! This is a bloody disgrace.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Picture too dim from apple TV

I just bought an Apple TV. It works ad advertised. The only problem is that the picture is too dim. It is not too dim for other hdmi inputs from the TV and Blu Ray, just from the Apple TV. I've tried it in different HDMI ports but the result is the same. I've gone to the Apple TV settings, but there is nothing to adjust there. I do not want to adjust the TV brightness settings everytime I want to watch Apple TV. Any thoughts about what to do about this?
Thank you,
Dan Neunaber

Can't check the menu at the moment, but try changing the output settings:
Change the Apple TV HDMI output settings:
On your Apple TV menu, go to Settings > Audio & Video.
Scroll down to the HDMI Output menu and use the Select button on your Apple Remote to cycle through the following options: Auto, YCbCr, RGB High, RGB Low.
When cycling through the HDMI Output options, your TV may take a short period of time to adjust to the new color profile.

Which sort of HDMI cableis recommended for connecting Apple TV to aTelevision? Does it need to be a normal HDMI cable or one which support Ethernet capabilities?

no need to go for an expensive HDMI cable as Varjak Paw rightly suggests.
Pretty much all of them come with 1.4 standard these days.
The difference in price is made by additional shielding and material used for the wire - hardly ever needed at home installations - unless you get interference from other devices.
on the other note.
one HDMI in your TV is obviously not ideal as well as using HDMI splitter or hub - but it should work.
Also I know cases that some LG TV models do not work with Apple TV - which was confirmed by LG technical support.
Those are rare cases and i do not want to worry you at this stage.

IPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug & won't go away!

Okay, I am trying to update a mini ipod for my neice. I originally have the 20GB ipod. Hers however is the 1.1 mini ipod... and I think it was formated for windows on a pc, but I didn't know this until after I reset it on my mac.
I reset it to the factory setting, but it said I needed to plug it into the wall jack to complete the software settings... which is cool and fine. So i did by USB, but now all I get is this iPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug. The icon will not go away and neither will anything change. I can't turn it off and if I try to bring up anything, all I get is the apple and then this icon, over and over again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ipod Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9) I think this mini was formated for a PC, does that matter?

Actually I did do what is it said, and it continued to blink the power adapter and wall plug picture, while I had it plugged into the wall socket. So that is why I posted this question.
So someone else actually replied to my question and said that I have to plug it into my car ac adapter and it would finish rebooting... which it did.
Thanks for the tips. I'm not computer iliterate, I'm just learning about the ipod.

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?

Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.

Hi Erico,
I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
Do you have any other ideas?
Many many thanks,
Louise

What happened is the update forced your phone into recovery mode. There's been a lot of issues with this, but the only thing you can do is plug the phone into iTunes and do a restore on it. Hopefully you have a backup so you can restore your information.
