HT3180 Apple TV Stopped Working.  Blank Screen.

Morning all.
My Apple TV has suddenly stopped working.
The TV is getting an input, but the screen is blank.  Hard booting doesn't help.  I've tried holding the handset  'menu' and 'down' button simultaneously - that brings the Apple logo onto the screen, but ti just goes blank again. 
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

I would remote it by connecting it by usb to a computer and restore the firmware  using itunes
if that did not help then I would say the appletv had died and would require service or replacement
but of cause it would test with another tv to be sure before doing anything drastic

  • AirPlay mirror on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google conversation is started (iOS 7)

    I thought it would be nice to see Skype contacts on the large screen and realised this should be possible using my Apple TV, but AirPlay (in mirror mode) on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google + conversation is started after showing all right on the TV till that point. I'm using iOS 7 and the problem occurs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. Facetime seems to be OK, and Skype works over Apple TV when using my daughter's MacBook Pro (though I haven't tried Google + on it), so I deduce that the issue is with iOS 7. I have had success one or twice with using Skype in this manner on my iPhone so it is not consistant, but this is rare and hasn't happened in my latest attempts. Unfortunately some of my Skype contacts don't have an Apple device so I often can't use Facetime.
    Is there a work around, or has Apple acknowledged this issue and said there will be a fix?

    Same problem here.
    iPhone 5s + apple TV + Skype all are up to date. Mirroring is working until the video signal starts, after that the Apple TV goes back to the Apple TV starting screen.

    ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

    Hey there our3goldens,
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

    try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
    If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
    If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

  • I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover. Some websites show errors when debug is on. But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover and is frozen. Some websites show errors when debug is on.
    But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    Here are a couple suggestions:
    1.  Go into Settings > Safari and Clear Cookies Clear Cache
    2.  Fully close Safari:  from your home screen, double tap your home button and the most recently used Apps will show up.  Hold your finger on the Safari App until all Apps start jiggling.  You'll see a minus sign on the upper left side of Safari.  Touch the minus and Safari will fully close.  Touch your home button again to stop apps from jiggline, then touch your home button again to return to your home page.
    3.  Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart, but no data or settings will be lost.
    After iPad comes back up, try Safari again, and you should be good to go.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep on OS 10.9.2 update

    Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep after OS 10.9.2 update.  Anybody know why?  Is there a process I can stop or reboot in the Activity monitor to refresh this?  These gestures include launch pad, mission control and full screen swipes.  Annoying.

    Same problem same version. On a MB Air. I have every gesture turned on. When this happens I have same problem on Magic Trackpad and my MB Trackpad. If I quit the app part of the gestures come back but then stop again. The worst is scrolling. This one is a show stopper and always require quit and relaunch.

  • My apple password stopped working

    My apple password stopped working at iTunes Store -what do I do

    Hi baxter@7058,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest signing out of your iTunes Store account from the Settings app on your iPhone.  Then go to the  My Apple ID website to see if you can log in with your Apple ID and password.  You may need to reset it.

  • My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

    My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
    I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
    Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store? 

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

  • LCD display not working (blank screen)

    One day old 15" G4 (the latest model). No major changes to configuration; only basic software installed (Adium, Messenger, Firefox, Remote Desktop).
    The LCD display stopped working during normal operation (web browsing) and I assumed it was a power management issue (I was running on a low battery). I unplugged all devices, plugged it in and rebooted (per instruction manual); same issue.
    Since then, I've zapped the PRAM, booted with "R", reset the NVRAM, and reset the PMU. I also tried loading the setup CD with the "Option" to get the hardware check; this may have given me helpful data but I can't see the display so I'm not sure (read: display doesn't work even when booting from CD).
    External monitors work fine still. The Mac boots and everything loads perfectly. I can adjust the screen brightness on the LCD using the F1 and F2 keys; the display responds by varying the backlight but it is not rending the GUI; it remains black (or dark gray, really).
    I'm experienced with computers but this is my first time working on a Mac, so I'm completely unfamiliar with how to troubleshoot these things. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    This is exactly what has happend to my PowerBook a few days ago. Its only just out of warranty too. Man I wish I bought Apple care!!!!!!
    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, could you tell me what it was? Was it the inverter? I'm miles away from an Apple store (yes I know I live in the UK and its a small island, but its still miles) and woulf like to try and resolve it myself.
    Works fine on an external LCD. Tried everything!
    May get my screwdriver out.

  • My wired Apple mouse stopped working for a short time. Trying to figure out why.

    System OSX Version 10.9.5  Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7    I was surfing the web & my mouse was stuck on the screen. Could this be some kind of virus- spyware or malware? Never had this happen before. The keyboard the mouse is connected 2  kept working but the mouse stoped working momentarily. I pushed F3 & unplugged my mouse & plugged it back in. this fixed it but I am not sure that had anything to do with what caused my mouse to stop working.

    Could be the USB port within the keyboard may have a problem in sustaining
    a good connection. Sometimes those extra ports in keyboard fail. You can
    see in the hardware portion of the activity monitor software in OS X what is
    visible to the system as part of the chained USB items attached to the Mac.
    To have a known-good spare mouse, keyboard, and any cable extensions,
    is always a fair idea for the sake of troubleshooting and to get past a failure.
    I use powered USB hubs with my Macs; but plug the keyboard directly into
    the computer so as to have few issues with cold startup keyboard shortcuts.
    The mouse does OK plugged into the hub, and a hub positioned so it can
    be accessed easier than ports on the back of the computer makes sense.
    If there is another hardware issue, or odd software extensions or add-ons
    in your main user account, you'd have to test for those possibilities. To
    try a second account to see if the same kinds of applications make it fail,
    or run the Apple Hardware Test in the main user account, may not take
    into the result any software that you'd use when normally at the Mac.
    Sometimes the wire to the mouse can get weak and fail near the mouse;
    so when that happens, it's best to have a spare on hand, ahead of trouble.
    On the other hand, software conflicts could cause a frozen mouse or any
    kind of odd pointer activity.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My ipod touch just stop working the screen is blue I cannot re-set it but the time is correct and it keeps up-dating

    My IPOD Touch just stop working - I was listening to music and it stop.  I cannot power it down or re-start it.  The time is correct and that is I can see at the top of the screen of the IPOD along with the battery info

    Try resetting:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • IPod nano playing song, stopped midsong, blank screen and can't reboot

    Anyone else encounter this problem? Am I missing a simple step to get this iPod rolling again? Or is it a trip to Wal-Mart for a replacement? It stopped working during the SECOND song it has ever played. Quite disappointed and a major hassle.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
    I can't even get the thing to show up in iTunes.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try the steps listed here...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303545
    Is your iPod recognized by iTunes? What happens when you try and restore it? Does the restore process not begin? Or does it complete and the iPod still shows that screen? Does iTunes say it is done restoring?

  • Apple Cinema Display 23" - Blank Screen, "short-long-short" LED code

    Hello everyone.
    This sounds like something of an epidemic... My Apple Cinema 23" HD Display (bought Dec. 2007) hasn't been turning on after a power outage hit our area last week.
    The Computer and Display were OFF when the outage occurred. Everything was plugged into a surge suppressor. Everything ELSE plugged in to the suppressor is fine (including my Mac CPU)... but not the monitor.
    It’s not dead-dead…. It’s a blank screen but there IS a morse-code flash on the LED (short-long-short). According to Apple Support’s LED Translation, it SHOULD be something to do with the power adaptor. The adaptor IS correct… a 90 watt… but just in case I bought ANOTHER 90w adaptor brick. I plugged the monitor to the new brick. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME.
    I’ve tried power cycling, I’ve tried plugging it into different outlets, I’ve tried connecting to other computers. The same LED result remains.
    And, yes, of course, I’ve got no Apple Support, and from what I read in similar posts, outside-the-warranty repairs could hit around $400. I REFUSE!
    For now I have a Samsung monitor from Costco. It’s not bad, but it’s not the Apple monitor with its awesome color-fidelity.
    I've read some other posts with the same problem (LED blink code and all) elsewhere but haven't got a solid answer.
    I wonder… has anyone else incurring this same problem (with the same LED flashing deal) tried to use a 150-WATT adaptor brick? I would try this myself, but I’m currently financially unable (and personally unwilling) to throw more cash at this problem unless I know it’ll fix it.

    Hi all!
    As mentioned on the title of this topic *I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM* with my 23" Cinema Display...
    Before the failure, the monitor *WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION* (trust me when I comment this, my whole life is in front of a monitor)
    *THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP THE DAY I MOVED THE MONITOR TO AN OTHER OFFICE* (???). Please note that *I TOOK EXTRA CARE WHEN I MOVED THE MONITOR*, besides, when something costs around 1K you owe to.
    *I TRIED AN 150W ADAPTER ON IT AND WORKED FINE!!!* Just like before.
    But since *IT WAS UNDER GUARANTY* I sent it to the local distributor who eventually *REPLACED IT WITH A "NEW" ONE*, which after remarks from my side it turned out it wasn't "new" but re-manufactured by Apple (off course, he guarantied me the parts in it, where brand new and had 0 hours of usage).
    In my question to the technical representative of Apple *"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY MONITOR"*, he answered me that *THE INVERTER WAS FAULT*.
    After that I questioned him *"WHY MY MONITOR MANAGED TO WORK WITH THE 150W ADAPTER?"*, he answered me that *THE EXTRA CHARGE OF THE 150W ADAPTER WAS ABLE TO "EXCITE" SUCCESSFULLY THE FAULTY INVERTER IN ORDER TO WORK* and that *IT WAS A MATTER OF MONTHS FOR THE MONITOR TO FAIL AGAIN*.
    That's my story... I hope it may help some of you... Personally I can't have an opinion on the matter, since I'm not a technician. The only thing on which I can comment is that *A 1K MONITOR SHOULD BE WAY MORE DURABLE AND TOLERANT WHEN YOU TRANSFER IT AROUND (if that cause the problem of course)*
