HT202157 ATV 2 Home screen frozen

My ATV 2 has frozen now for a couple of weeks, thought it may be the remote so changed the battery. Then went online and was advised to hold menu and rewind buttons together for 6 secs...nothing happened. the white light flashes at the beginning and then stay on and is unresponsive.
I am about to smash it up...please advise.

You've already tried the 'unpaid remote' sequence which can help if AppleTV for some reason thinks another remote is controlling it, but it seems it wasn't that.
I think you'd be best restoring it using a USB to microUSB cable connected to a computer running iTunes, see:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
If that doesn't work/help, and it's under warranty get Apple or store you bought from to replace it.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Start the smartphone in Safe Mode - for instructions, see KB17877.
    On the smartphone Home screen, go to Options > Applications (depending on theme, it may be Settings > Options > Applications).
    Select the theme you think is hanging the device, press the Menu key, and select Delete.
    Pull the battery to reset the smartphone and allow it to boot up.

  • Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

    Hi deamayfield,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

    Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • My iphone 4S has simply frozen on the home screen.  Is there a quick fix????

    My iPhone 4S (brand new) operational for 24 hours has simply frozen at the "slide to open" home screen and I can't slide the touchscreen.  Is there a quick fix??  I am isolated.

    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo then release. This is similar to a computer restart.

  • ATV returns to home screen when Internet connectivity intermittently lost

    I'm using Apple TV 2nd generation running software v4.4.2 over WiFi. I can watch about 3-4 minutes of video, or browse the Movies menu for about 3-4 minutes, before being thrown back to the home screen (missing the Movies menu) with an error message saying the Internet connection is lost. Then a couple of seconds later the Movies menu re-appears and eveything works fine for anoter 3-4 minutes. It makes the ATV unusable and it's infuriating. Any idea why:
      - only the ATV complains about intermittent loss of Internet connectivity (my Mac and iPhone are on the same WiFi and never have any problem)?
       - if there was loss of Internet connectivity for a few seconds, why doesn't ATV play from buffer, or even pause, instead of throwing me back to the main menu?
      - eveything used to work fine before I upgraded to v4.4.2?
    More importantly, what can be done to fix this?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for this. Downloaded istumbler and installed on OSX 10.7. It crashes.
    It can't just be a network issue: I have no problem streaming audio and video to a Mac, PC or phone on the same WiFi. And if the ATV software was designed correctly, it should just buffer - not bomb out - in case of an intermittent network issue.

  • Accidently enlarged home screen and cant go back to normal screen frozen and cant even swipe on

    Accidently enlarged home screen and cant go back to normal screen frozen and cant even swipe on

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting.
    Probably the zoom feature enabled, double tapping with three fingers will bring back the screen to normal size again in that case.
    Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 139.
    Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three fingers

    Hi Diavonex,
    1st sep,It works for resetting the Ipad and the frozened message is disappeared.
    2nd step, Yes, follow this path to the manage storage but can not deside for now wich content is needed to be deleted. So, I just DISACTIVATEDO(PUT TO OFF) the fonction (Automatically backup the content my Ipad(6.2GB) to Icloud that cause the problem of missing storage Icloud(limit to 5GB).
    3rd step, I instead, copy all the internal content of Ipad(specially PHOTOS And VIDEO Clips) to my PC via USB to prevent of any problem of Ipad in the future.
    Finally, my Ipad now is working proprely without problem.
    Thanks anyway for your precious help.
