HT204400 I cannot get my Apple TV to show WiFi network settings.

I've had my Apple TV connected to internet using an Ethernet connection, and it had been working really good. However, it cannot connect to the internet anymore. I first thought it was a problem with my router, so I disconnected the Ethernet cable to try to connect wirelessly instead. However, even when there is not an Ethernet cable connected to my Apple TV, it reports as if it is, and does not show me the WiFi networks available (in fact, it still shows me the Ethernet connection I used to have).
I tried resetting the Apple TV, restarting it, unplugging it for up to 10 minutes and connecting it back, connecting it with the mini USB port to my computer and restoring it to factory default settings, but still it shows as if it was connected through the Ethernet port.
I then tried to connect it again through the Ethernet port to a router that I am sure is connected to the internet, but I go back to my original problem... which is that it says that it cannot connect to the internet.
Has anybody had this same problem?... if so, how can this be fixed?
Thank you.

I have the same issue an I've tried all the same remedies as you to no avail. You would think that restoring the Apple TV to factory settings would fix it, but you'd be wrong. Wireless is not even an option because the device thinks it's still connected to the wireless.

I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in? I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.

Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

Cannot get to Apple TV menu

WWhen I turn on Apple TV, my television blinks "no signal". I have checked my connections and I am connected to my wireless signal. I've unplugged Apple TV and plugged in again. Now the television screen goes "no signal" to Apple picture" to no signal, and keeps doing this. Yet I cannot get the Apple TV menu to show up. What do I try next?

Sounds like it's run into a firmware problem.

Cannot get the Apple.. what?
Model and actual device you are talking about?
Apple covers a pretty huge range.. If you mean extreme.. did you reset it to factory and start over.. that is always necessary when you change a network. You cannot pick up a router from one home and network and plonk it into another and have it work.. aint gonna happen.
You also need to power down any pure cable modem for 20min or so to get it to forget the old MAC address that captured the IP so the Apple ??? has a chance to work.

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Is it possible to print from an apple device without a wifi network?

Is it possible to print from an apple device without a wifi network?

I cannot make out the text, but my previous apply assumed that you wanted to create a wireless network.....without Internet access...... using an Apple device, like an AirPort Express.
It's simple....just "create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice. You will be notified of an "error" that you do not have an Internet connection. Simply click to "ignore" that error you will have a green light on the AirPort.
If the Apple guys told you that this is not possible, then they are simply wrong.
Devices will be able to connect to the wireless network and print to the printer....assuming that it is AirPrint compatible model.
My guess would be that the printer that you already have is not an AirPrint compatible model. In that case, the Apple store guys were partially correct. But, there are Apps that you can install on the iPhone and iPad that will allow printing to most printers, even if they are not AirPrint compatible.
If you have a question about how to configure an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme to create a wireless network.....without an Internet connection.....we can probably help.
