HT3180 Resetting Apple TV does not work.
Re: HT3180, resetting ATV: I've tried this plus using a mini usb connection to my Mac and iTunes, but all I can get is the Apple logo on the screen and a flashing light on the ATV. This is after trying to update to newest software. Any help would be appreciated.
If I plug the Apple TV into my computer through the USB port, it immediately shows up in the iTunes device list. (The light on the Apple TV is constantly flashing while this is happening.) If I then choose Restore in iTunes, I then get the choice to restore and update. If I choose this, then I get the message that it is trying to contact the Apple TV software update server. This goes on for about five minutes, then I get a message that the Apple TV software update server could not be contacted. My wireless connection is fine and so is my Internet connection. Before the Apple TV died, I was able to twice download the update, but got an error message after it was downloaded saying that an error had occurred and that I should try to download it again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks. -
My Apple TV responds to my remote by flashing, but nothing changes on screen. How do I fix it?
Howdy there Nick,
Greet
I would recommend these 2 troubleshooting steps.
First, reset the Apple TV with this process:
Restarting your Apple TV without a remote
You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.

You need to grab a micro USB cable in order to connect to iTunes for restore

I'm about to call, but this is my last chance. What can I do?
Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you. -
My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!
Was the restore done via iTunes?

If so then you may need to take it to Apple. -
My apple tv is unresponsive even after resetting it. Any ideas?
My apple tv doesn't show up on the TV channel. I followed Apple's instructions to reset it by holding down the Menu button and the Down button until rapid blinking light. Then unplugged it and waited. After replugging it you see the Apple symbol on the TV momentarily, then it disappears and the tv reverts to its default channel. I have tried the above 3 times but no change. Is there any other way I can reset or restore it to function again? Perhaps connecting it to my Macbook?
Try a restore.

HT3180 My Apple TV is not starting after the software updates
I have tried to use menu and down on remote , disconnected power supply etc but nothing is working to restart the Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
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) -
My Apple TV has been working perfectly until last night. It now shows on the TV screen a white cable going from I Tunes to the back of the Apple TV. When we connected this to the computer using a micro cable the Apple TV isn't showing anywhere on the ITunes sight. When a search is done it doesn't come up at all. It's as if the Apple TV is dead. Not sure what to do as this was the last attempt at restoring its settings as per instructions.
Did you follow the steps exactly? Removing all cables, then connecting via micro usb. If you have a 3rd gen device you need to connect the power following micro usb.

My Apple TV is not responding. Screen in black and light indicator blinking fast. Cannot make it work. What should I do?
Unplug it from power, wait 10-15 seconds and plug it back in.
If it does not power up properly at that point, restore it via iTunes on the computer. -

all of a sudden, I do not have internet connectivity. Checked all network settings and TV recognizes that a wireless network is operational. the internet signal to my imac is fine. what does the rapid flashing APPLE TV box indicated other than that there is a problem ??
The flashing light is indicative of a problem with the unit. I would connect to iTunes to restore

It is getting very frustrating to have Apple products.
Constant software upgrades and product releases seems to be the sole focus of Apple.
Apple does not offer hardware repair services. I can understand this policy when products do not fail. But it seems that this is not the case with Apple, as it becomes frequent that products fail just after the warranty period.
New software releases also destroyed the value of a "GREAT EXPERIENCE". YouTube, Google Maps, ... all features that are deleted with the latest IOS and that Apple could not properly replace.
It seems that Apple products are not 'consummable' products but 'disposable' products.
Let's see how robust SAMSUNG tablets areApple has hardware repair services, on repairable hardware. Apple just doesn't repair iPads, from day one Apple has always replaced iPads, either under warranty or as a reduced cost out-of-warranty purchase.
The rest of your post is just a rant. Enjoy your Samsung products.
