HT1600 No signal on Apple tv

no signal on apple tv

I have just had this problem so disconnected my ATV and found a micro USB connected from my wife's Samsung phone .then you connect to your mac and switch on ITunes , it recognises the ATV and asks if you want to restore , click yes Voila! If you don't have a micro USB someone with a mobile less than a couple of years old will, hope this helps it worked for me. The USB slot is in the back of ATV but hardly visible it's so small so disconnect first and you will see it!

You may need to restore it.
You will need a USB micro cable. Connect it to iTunes to restore.

How to correct "An incompatible audio signal" with Apple TV and HD signal

I have an Apple tv2(mc572Ll/a) running version 4.4.4 of the software, connecting to an older Sharp Aquos LCD-26d6u TVvia a regular HDMI cable.
I used to be able to watch a rented movie until my onsitel technician/ teenager adjusted something.
Now when the preview plays the sound works. When a video is displayed using AirPlay from the iPhone the sound works.
But when the HD movie plays the message "an incompatible audio signal has been received. Check the output device settings" and there is no sound.
When I connect this to a newer HDTV the movie sound works.
Any suggestions on what Apple tv or tv settings to use to get the sound back (other than upgrading my technician/teenager/tv)?

Thanks! I changed the Dolby setting from On to Auto, and the sound started working for Netflix TV shows. Before I was getting the message:
     Incompatible audio format received check output device settings
and there was no sound.
The Settings are accessed through Apple TV.   When you have Apple TV on, and you see all the colored rectangles for Netflix, huluplus, HBO etc., (which can be accessed by repeatedly hitting the Menu button on the remote), the top row shows:
   Movies   TV Shows Music Computers Settings
Use the 4 way controller to choose Settings, then press the button in the center of the 4 way controller to select Settings. Then select Audio Video. Then scroll down to Dolby Digital. When you are on Dolby Digital and you push the button in the center of the 4 way controller, the setting will change. I changed the Dolby Digital setting to Auto.

No signal from Apple TV

I just got the new Apple TV and get no signal from it on my HDTV. I have an older Samsung TX-p3064w which has DVI and not HDMI.
I used a DVI to HDMI cable but get no signal at all - just a blue screen which means the tv received no signal. I know that DVI is not supported, but I was hoping to use this before I had to buy another T.V..
The T.V. can do either 1080i or 480p using DVI. I tried using two cables and no signal.
Does the T.V. have to do 720 in order to give a signal? Is there a certain cable I should try?
Any ideas on why no signal?

I was experiencing the same problem and discovered it is actually a 'handshake' issue. The firmware on the TV needs to be compatible with appletv. I solved it by updating the firmware for my Philips LCD 1080p tv. If you are using an older tv, you probably have to go to the manufacturer's support website to download the updated software on a gig stick and then upload it onto your TV. It should work thereafter. Good luck.

No HDMI signal from apple tv

I recently purchased an ATV (in the USA - I live in Europe) and I notice that ATV doesn't seem to 'connect' to my TV, ie. the tv consistently shows 'no HDMI signal', or will sometimes show part of the relevant ATV menu screen momentarily and then disappear. The remedy is to reboot ATV or disconnect and reconnect the power cable. Does anyone have a remedy for this?

I have the same issue. My Apple TV works when I reboot (unplug/replug) it. But if I attempt to change the resolution, put it on standby, or if I switch to another device and return to it later, I get an intermittent signal. Every few 4-5 seconds the menu/screensaver appears and disappears pretty quickly. If I reboot and watch a movie immediately it works fine.
My TV is a Olevia 542i LCD HDTV.

Anyone have any ideas? Could the AppleTV be defective?

No signal on Apple TV3

Today i turned on my TV. Pressed the apple remote, the apple TV3 is showing the usual white light.
But, the TV says "no signal, check the connected device powersupply and cable connection and sourcequality"
When i press on buttons on my apple TV remote the light doesnt change.
Switching the HDMI cable to different HDMI 1,2,3 etc doesn't solve the problem.
What's wrong?

You might try a hard reset. It's helped me in the past.
To reset your Apple TV, press and hold the Menu and Down keys for at least 6 seconds until the white light on the ATV rapidly blinks. Let go of the buttons and the device will restart.

HT1600 cannot connect my apple tv to my itunes

Very low signal reaching Apple TV

Is there a way to boost the Apple TV antenna? I only have a one bar signal, but I can't move the router (d-link 802.11n) from it's location downstairs, and can't move the Apple TV from it's location upstairs. (An ipod or laptop, when used in the same room as the Apple TV location, have no problems with the WiFi.)

The Apple TV quite likely has more equipment near to or around it that might cause some level if interference. You might consider connecting it by Ethernet or power line adapters.

HT1600 After updating my Apple TV software this morning, I now have no sound. It is hooked up to play through my television speakers. Any ideas on how to get sound back? It was working fine before the update.

I have tried re-booting Apple TV as well as the television, etc.

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Hi MLFO!
I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:

Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:

Check your internet connection and try restarting the ATV.

HT1600 After updating my apple tv last night, it has stopped working. The light blinks but there is no input to the tv. I have reset it multiple times, have unplugged it, and it still doesn't work. What can I do?
