tried factory reset as documented ... hold ... wait .... unplug ... replug .... light blinks 3 times then blinks fast ... what next?

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)

  • HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

    The lack of response is deafening. Im guessing then that Firefoix has serious issues then?..well it'll be there loss if more, like me, opt for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (both these browsers work fine with the latest Flash Player installed)

    locked ipod touch with password - tried to reset ipod by holding power button and home button for 10 seconds and it came up asking for password again

    If you forgot your screen-lock passcode then:
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • E3200 quit working, I already tried factory reset, out of ideas...help please?

    I've had the E3200 for 3 weeks now and it has been running perfectly until last night. It's broadcasting its SSID and when I open network properties on my computer, it says I'm connected to the internet. However, when I troubleshoot with windows and cisco connect they both recognize that I'm not connected to the internet. Tried with 2 other laptops, an andriod phone, and an iphone with the same results. I live in an apartment building and the only thing we need to set up is a router for wifi (modem   connection is taken care of in the basement) so there's no issues with a modem because the other tenants have internet, and when I connected my laptop directly to the wall I had internet access so I'm pretty certain it's an issue with the router. I tried a factory reset and went through the installation again but had the same result as before. I called customer support but they had me on hold until I had to leave for class. HELP PLEASE!

    You may need to reconfigure the router. What is the IP address that your computer is getting if it’s directly connected to the wall? If using the setup cd to reconfigure the router didn’t work, try doing it manually. These links will guide you thru in doing the reconfiguration manually: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection.

  • Can i backgrade my iphone 4s from ios6.0.1 to ios6? - Wifi is greyed out and will not switch on, tried factory reset but keeps restoring to ios6.0.1, please release ios6.0.2 ASAP apple!

    So yeah I recently upgraded to iOS 6 fine no problems, a few bugs here and there regarding txt shortcuts not working when imessages switches back to sms when loosing 3g but nothing major.
    Then a few weeks ago I updated to iOS 6.0.1 as I thought maybe a few bugs would be fixed.  I backed up my phone (for the first time with iTunes).  Then after the 6.0.1 update I had (as it seems a lot people have had) a problem with the wifi not switching on and being dimmed out.  I tried various "reset the phone" "reset the network settings" options that people have put on these support forums.  So my last option was to reset the phone to factory settings- I did this two times, firstly reseting it to factory settings and restoring it to the back up, then reseting to factory settings and setting the phone up as new.  After doing this second reset my phone did not go back to iOS 5 (which is factory settings) but iOS 6.0.1 and I still have the same Wifi problem.
    Apple- please release 6.0.2 ASAP, this bug is costing me ton of 3g data as I use my iPhone regularly for work and use it at home all the time.
    Is there anyway I can back grade to ios5 or ios6?
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thanks
    Martyn

    Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
    But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?

  • My apps on my iPod touch only open for a second then close, I tried the reset option of holding down the power button for ten seconds still no apps that I have down loaded will open just the one that are on the iPod like music app store whether time etc.

    My apps on my I pod touch will not open.  They start to load for one second close down.  I tried holding down the power button to reset it.  And that didn't work. Is the only option is to delete all apps and then reload them?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Apple shop changed my iphone 3gs today, got home and cannot join my wifi. both my mac and ipad is working on wifi. tried rebooting, resetting still doesnt hold the wifi, it's there for a sec then its not connected.help please?

    Hi,
    Apple shop exchanged my iphone 3gs today. got home but it doesnt pick up the wifi. first the correct supplier appears then it says not connected.
    both my mac and ipad is working on wifi (so did the previous phone) i ve tried rebooting, tried reset supplier...nothing works. can someone help please?
    thanks

    Yes, they should be able to verify that WiFi is working properly. If I just got a new phone & it didn't work perfectly, right out of the box, before I started restoring or whatever, I'd be right back where I got the phone.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I've tried the reset method,  holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either.  Help ??

    My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work.  I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted).  All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

    Look at last link.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Cannot update software from version 1.0 after factory reset

    Just did a factory reset on my first generation, year old, perfectly working AppleTV. Then wanted to update the software from ver. 1.0 to current. For two day now, when choosing "update software' the response is that newer software is available but the download spins and spins with nothing happening. Seems like the network connection must be good or there wouldn't be knowledge that newer version exist. Eventually a message states that the software is not available now try late. As I said, I have been trying for 2 days. What's up with this?

    Self-repaired! It was appear that the quality of reception of the ATV is problem because it cannot hold a connection long enough to download the software. I took an 11n airport express which extends my airport network and plugged the ATV to in by Ethernet. Result. ATV showed up on iTunes. Upgrade to 2.2 downloaded. And since I only stream, the system seems faster and more solid, so far. Amazing.

  • Keyboard (hardware & onscreen) suddenly don't work anymore - only factory reset helps

    I have my Passport for about a month now and just experienced the following problem for the second time: all of sudden the keyboard (both hardware and onscreen) don't work anymore. I cannot enter my device password anymore, I can focus the password dialog, but then simply nothing happens when I press keys.
    After a restart of the Passport it asks me for my SIM card PIN. Again, I can focus the text field in the dialog, and I can touch numbers of the onscreen keyboard, and the number keys light up, but no input gets to the dialog.
    There is simply no way to activate the device anymore. I can do a backup using BlackBerry Link, and I can access the device with BlackBerry Blend - but the device itself is useless. No kind of restart or reset helps. The only solution is to do a factory reset, after that the device works fine again - for some time.
    Once this happened while I was on the road, without doing anything with the device. The second time it happened when I was trying to deploy a self written app using the Momentics IDE.
    Additional information:
    - development mode is on (needed since I want to develop Apps for BB10)
    - Snap is installed
    - a handful of Android apps from Google Play store are installed
    - two BlackBerry World apps are installed (whatsapp and HUB++LED)
    Did anyone experienced similar issues or has an idea what might cause this problem?
    Thanks!

    I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.

  • FW 7.3.x Factory Reset procedures have changed

    A lot of people can't return their new Airport Express back to their default factory settings. That's because the factory reset procedures have changed.
    The old "press and hold the reset button when plugging in until green light flashes four times" no longer work on the new FW 7.3.x (The new 802.11n Airport Express).
    New procedures (Ref: Airport Express Setup Guide):
    On page 32: Simple procedures (retain user profiles) - hold the reset button for 10 seconds
    On page 33: To remove profiles as well - hold reset while plug in the AX, don't let go and then hold the reset for another 10 seconds.

    Agree.
    No matter of holding the reset button down resets the AExN
    to defaults.
