HT4367 Problem reset my Apple TV

I tried connecting the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and then to a Mac - the apple TV does not show in my devices list. The light on the apple TV keeps blinking. Can anyone help me ? I have tried reseting using the Remote and re-powered my AppleTV several times without much help. When connected to my TV all I get on my TV is the apple logo nothing else happens. It used to work fine until very recently.

If it's an AppleTV3 you also need power AFTER connecting with a microUSB lead, not with AppleTV2.

  • Problem resetting 2nd apple id password

    I have separate apple id for itunes & a 2nd one for icould.  I can't remember or reset the 2nd one for icloud.  Also I am unable to reset password via either email reset or personal questions.  Any advise how I can either reset 2nd id password or change the icloud id to same as itunes?  It is frustrating when the icloud sign in keeps popping up when using ipod.

    You need to contact Apple by:
    1 - Use the Express lane and start here:
    https://expresslane.apple.com
    then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics
    or
    Apple - Support -form iTunes Store - Contact Us
    2 - Call Apple in your country by getting the number from here:

  • I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my icloud email address my Apple ID is my msn account, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email because I can't remember what it is. How do I do that?

    I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my iCloud email, my msn is my Apple ID, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email address because I can't remember what it is. How can do I reset my iCloud emaill password when it's not my Apple ID??

    Your iCloud and @icloud.com login ID is an Apple ID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud (you can check this by going to http://www.icloud.com and signing in there).
    Click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar and you will be able to change the password.
    HOWEVER
    Before you do this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' if you have it enabled on any of your devices, otherwise you will land yourself in difficulties.

    You will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account, he/she is the only person that can do it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - you won't be able to use the iPad until they do so.

  • HT1338 can't seem to download apps keep getting unknown error eventhough I have reset my apple id password repeatedly  itunes have no problem

    I can't seem to download apps from the app store. I keep getting unknown error eventhough I have reset my apple id password repeatedly. With itunes I have no problem.  This is VERY frustrating to say the least.

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

    Hi richardwilliams51,
    If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet using your Apple TV, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps in this article -
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    If that does not completely fix your Apple TV, you may need to restore it, using this article -

    i reset my ipod touch 5th generation and i just reset my apple id and password and it wont let me activate my ipod. I need help!!

    What happens when you try? Error message?
    To activate you have to enter the ID and password last used for Settings>iCloud. In most cases the Apple ID is used for Settings>iCloud but not always.
    If problems contact iTunes

  • Have to reset the Apple TV each time I open it. Is it possible it is the result of recent transfer to iCloud?

    Each morning when I open CalmRadio on my Surround System which come from iTune through Apple TV  I have to reset the Apple TV to get the signal through. I tought it was the result of a recent change of my router but I just remember that I have installed iCloud recently.  Would it be possible that would be the reason of the necessity to reset apple TV every morning?  Thanks.

    I'd say your router, iCloud hasn't caused me any problems. It may be settings or interference.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

    Hi,
    I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

    An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account.  Which of these do you mean?
    By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it?  If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in.   (Did you recently change your ID's password?  That would cause your problem.)
    For example, for icloud:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again using the right password.

  • Hi i reset my apple tv now i cant get it restarted no light comes on can someone advise?

    hi can anyone assist just got apple tv it was was working i then retored my apple tv now cant get it started no light shines on the apple tv?

    hey there marloth,
    I had a few thoughts running through my head as I read your symptoms here.
    First if you have not already, reset the device with this part of the article named Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV found http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180.
    Restarting your Apple TV without a remote
    You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.
    If the issue persistrs and you own an iOS device, I would download the Remote app (free) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8 to see if it will come on with the remote app.
    If so, then the battery in your Apple TV remote may need to be changed.

    If not then you may need to restore the Apple TV with iTunes.
