My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple tv first generation. How do I restore my main menu?

My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple TV first generation, how do I restore my main menu screen?

When I turn on, it asks for language choice, then it asks for 1080i, then it asks for network choices. I choose my network, then it asks for my network password. I enter the password, then it say it does not connect to network, and if I hit menu on remote, it goes back to network selection. I can not get to main menu to see my setting for the network, because there is no menu.

How to restore an Apple TV first generation if it does not factory restore in recovery mode?

The other day, while watching a movie, my Apple TV 1st gen just froze and became unresponsive to any remote control inputs. My intital attempts to just remove power and startup again failed and resulted in repeated crashes and renewed startups. On the discussions here ( Re: Apple TV 1st gen Factory Restore Problems ) I found out how to force restart by holding down the 'menu' key and the ' - ' key simultaneously. This brought me to the Recovery Menu.
Restart from there didn't work, only resulted in coming back to the recovery menu.
Diagnostics showed my Apple TV to be working normally.
Factory Restore immediately brought up a failure message that factory restore was not possible!
I tried this several times but always the same result. My trusted Apple TV first generation had mysteriously turned itself into a brick.
After searching the web and trying all kinds of things, I figured out how to save it. Here's how:
for reference, have a look at this webpage, but keep reading below: http://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/appletv/restore-appletv-os-after-erasin g-disk/
you need a good size USB stick, mine was 4GB
the first method described didn't work for me, is time consuming, and you need an ethernet internet connection
however the second method described (no network needed) worked, but not with the file posted on the website (had wrong size)
download the disk image with the Apple OS from here: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Restoring_the_Apple_OS
I downloaded the Apple OS v3.0.2 file, this proved to be working
If you're on a Mac, download and install the ApplePi-Baker application from here: http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/macosx-apple-pi-baker/
If you're not on a Mac, follow the instructions in the thread posted in 1.
Using the ApplePi-Baker, or the other methods, restore the disk image to the USB stick; be patient, this may take a while
Unpower your Apple TV, plug in the USB stick, power up your Apple TV
Your Apple TV will now boot up from the USB stick and will install the latest OS on its harddrive
When completed, remove power, remove USB stick, power up and hold down the 'menu' and ' - ' keys simulatenously, this will bring your Apple TV into Recovery mode
Select Factory Restore
Your Apple TV will now factory restore to OS v 3.0.2
Note: This worked for me right away, but if not you may want to try the earlier OS version, see notes on the OpenElec Wiki page.
Good luck, and keep enjoying your Apple TV first gen!

Based on your suggestions, I've posted an additional article on how to do this ...
http://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/appletv/restore-appletv-os-offline-1stg en/
Also note that I fixed the issue with the corrupted IMG files .... the files on Tweaking4All.com now work as they are supposed to.
Thanks again James!

How to config a new remote on apple tv (first generation). I have lost my remote which came with the apple tv

How to config a new remote on apple tv (first generation). I have lost my remote which came with the apple tv.

Do you mean you've replaced your remote and it wont work because your AppleTV is paired to your lost remote?
If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555 has you covered.

TS1447 I'm still receiving this error message and my Apple TV first generation still won't sync!!

For some reason my Apple TV (first generation) won't sync with my Mac (lion os). It did it in the past and I haven't changed a thing. I also did all the trouble shooting and making sure that the Firewall was disabled, but I still get the same message. Could someone please tell me if I should be doing something else instead??

I've only rarely seen this, but last time it was cured by restarting a combination of AppleTV, iTunes and router.
I suspect you've tried these steps though.
I've not had an AppleTV 1 plugged in for some weeks but my 2nd/3rd genertion units keep losing the iTunes library connection (or at least I get a spinning wheel when I try to ccess them). Like you I don't know what's really changed (iTunes 10.6.3 maybe but I see the same with 10.6.1 on another computer).

Syncing problems with apple tv first generation

Ok I got an apple tv the other day and I am having a hard time syncing anything to it. So I have the first generation apple tv. Its has software 3.0.2 and says it is up to date. I have updated my my itunes to 10.6.3 (25). I am not very computer smart fyi. So I am able to connect to itunes on my apple tv but when I attempt to sync my movies it tells me that itunes could not sync with apple tv because it is busy. Which I don't understand. Then sometimes it allows me to sync it says transferring purchases from (my apple tv) coping 1 of however many. But it never continues it seems like it stays frozen at 1. So I am at a total lost. I have tried turning off the home sharing and turning it back on. Restarting both computer and ATV. Please if anyone could give me step by step instructions i would greatly appriciate it.

TS3116 I download a movie and while watching it freezes or pauses. I have apple tv first generation. What is the problem? I can watch trailers just fine.

I am having problems with my First Generation Apple TV. My software is up-to-date. 3.0.2.
I download a movie and while watching in pauses and freezes for as long as a minute sometimes. I have already checked with my ISP regarding network issues. There are none. I can view trailers with no freeze or pause issues. Just the actual movie when I download. Is there something I am missing here?

You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

I cant move my rented movie to my apple tv first generation, i cant move my rented movie to my apple tv first generation

i cant move my rented movie to my apple tv 1st generation. keeps saying something about firewall but i dont have any security turned on... helppp

Kelly - If you just opened the AppleTV1, go to Settings>About and check the software version.
Last software made was 3.02 (one of the better ones).
If lower, update it to that, but make a note of what it shipped with in case you ever factory restore it.
Have you configured ATV1 for LAN/internet access (ethernet by simply plugging in, wi-fi by adding wi-fi details in settings).? If connected to internet you should be able to access YouTube on it.
ATV1 does not use Home Sharing. iTunes computer and AppleTV1 need to be on the same LAN.
To set it up for itunes use you must 'register' it with iTunes with a numeric code. Ideally the main computer used with it should be registered for 'syncing'. Have you added a computer iTunes library under the AppleTV's Settings>Computers menu?
You need to highlight the top entry on this page, press select which should give a numeric code. You then go to itunes on the computer and look for an AppleTV under Devices on the left, select and enter the code. You can then configure auto or custom syncing.
Once configured, locate the rental in iTunes and choose to 'move it' to the AppleTV.

You can't. Netflix is only available on the 2nd and 3rd gen models.

Can you use apple TV first generation to control home stereo without a tv?

We have a 1st generation Apple TV and wold like to use it to control our home stereo WITHOUT A TV CONNECTED. Anyone have any experience with this? We would like to use our iPhones over our home wifi to control our surround sound system (no tv in this area of the house). Would like to know our options. Thanks!

HDMI is the only supported method. There will be no guarantee with any converter. If it does work you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

How can I add a tv show bought in my computer to my apple tv First generation?

how can i download a tv show that i purchased in my computer and have it in my apple tv without having to have my computer on.

You need to set the ATV to sync your content through it's sync settings in iTunes similar to how an iPod syncs. Select the ATV in iTunes then select the appropriate tab to the right to change sync settings. Remember you must also keep a back up copy of your video in iTunes since it can not easily be copied back off an ATV.

Anyone been able to create a Keynote presentation to loop as a movie on Apple TV (First Generation)?

I have prepared a Keynote presentation which I would like to loop on my Apple TV. I was unable to set this up with the Apple TV 2 since it just streams, but with my original Apple TV, I can save the movie on the built in hard drive and presumably set it up to loop. I had to export the Keynote presentation to iMovie to rotate the video to match the display I am using, but have tried several options to force a loop as a Quicktime movie and again importing the movie into Keynote after I rotated in iMovie and still will not loop. I am trying to use this as a digital display in my business. Any suggestions are welcome as previous posts and discussions have not worked.

Winston Churchill wrote:
I'm not really sure whether looping videos still work on the Apple TV, they have done and then they haven't and then they have and I don't really know what the current position is.
You can add looping to a video in any application that supports it, QT Pro for example.
How can you add looping to a video in an application that supports it such as QT Pro? The only documentation that I've read states what I previously wrote, and that doesn't seem to work.
