apple tv light is blinking fast and telling me to hook it up to itunes. is there any other way to fix this?

No.
You could take it to an Apple store for them to do it.

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

  • My Apple tv status light is blinking fast - how do I troubleshoot?

    my Apple TV gen 2 status light is blinking fast and I am not able to see anything from my Apple TV - how do I troubleshoot?  What I read on the Apple site is that my Apple TV has issues.  My Apple TV is hard wired to my Ethernet network.  It is connected to my TV using an HDMI cable.  It worked in the past but when I turned it on today it did not work.  I have not used it in several months and we had a bad thunderstorm here a couple weeks ago.

    I'm having the same problems as you. Any solutions? This is what i'm facing
    1. No video signal at all
    2. Plugged in power cable only, there is no light
    3. Plugged in micro usb, there is flashing light
    4. Restore via iTunes is sucessful but problem still persists

    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.

  • When I plug in apple tv the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen

    When I plug in my apple tv (first gen) the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen.  The status light never turns white and won't stops blinking amber.  I've tried to over ride this with the remote, resetting it and trying to revert it to the factory settings.  Is there a way to wake it up or is it a lost cause?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The system looks like it's unable to start up, this could be software but more likely hardware, either way unless it will start up there is nothing a user can do to resolve this.

  • My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Apple TV Light constantly blinking

    Hi My apple TV is giving a problem of Light constantly Blinking and my TV mnonitor is not responding to the TV being connected .
    I have disconnected the device 2-3 time as indicated in the Set Up Guide but no help.
    Please advice how to fix this ..

    I would pull the plug for 30 sec and reconnect it
    and if that did not help I would connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore the firmware
    if that did not help I would return it under warrenty

  • Unit crashes and white light flashes very fast and tv screen goes blank

    Apple TV crashes after a half hour of viewing and white light continues to flash very fast and tv screen goes blank

    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)

  • DV-6117dx - power light steadily blinking off-and-on and laptop won't work

    A little background:
    A couple of days ago, I shut down my computer because it was a bit slow (nothing new installed beforehand).  Upon a restart the next morning, I got a "log on initialization" error (with the laptop screen not working and being able to see the error message on an external monitor only).  Too many hours with Google basically says the only real way around this is to reinstall the system.  Fine.  I tried the minimized image recovery twice - error both times.  Finally, I tried the full factory reset.  That worked.  After the reset, however, came an endless series of issues. 
    - First reboot, keyboard and touchpad doesn't work so had to plug in external versions.  Moreover, the native monitor doesn't work so had to plug in my TV.  But the set-up for Windows did finish.  Once on the desktop, I tried to access the Window monitor/screen resolution menu to get image back onto the laptop.  Laptop beeped once and shut itself down with the power light (on the power button) steadily blinking but power button is nonresponsive otherwise.
    - Tried a BIOS reset and got the laptop to power up.  Went into safe mode with networking.  Everything seems to work fine.  Restarted into normal mode (shut down then powered up, actually).  Boots into Windows on the native screen.  Went into Windows Update and that caused the machine to again beep and shut itself down.
    - After a minute or two of steady blinking from the power button light, laptop powered on and looked like it went into hibernation instead of random shutdown.  Since the dialogue was still showing, decided to try Windows Update again.  Same result as last time with the beeping, random shutdown, and steady blinking.  This time, though, the machine hasn't tried to restart itself.
    At this point, short of buying a new machine, is there anything I can do?  I do have access to a CD that I'll try but want that to be the last resort since it means losing the recovery partition.  Besides, with the recovery partition working well (keyboard, touchpad, native screen, etc. all worked beautifully dring that process), signs seems to point to some odd hardware issue.

    I've run the full battery of tests allowed by my limited access. The only issue I've run into is concerning the BIOS, wherein it gave me a message about not being able to update/rollback due to not being able to read the BIOS image. Tried flashing it twice but failed both times. There appears to be some news on this particular front in that it might indicate an issue with my trying to restore the system so many times and confusing the BIOS instead of just some catastrophic failure.
    In other news, I did get into the BIOS menu and reset to factory default. For whatever reason, that allowed me get the minimized image recovery to work whereas it never did before. Performed the MIR. All went fine until just now when I tried to restart the system (after a massive Windows update).
    Upon reloading Windows, I got the same error that started this mess - Logon Process Initialization Error. Considering that an MIR is a pretty clean install and I only installed the essential Windows updates, I'm at a huge loss as to where this error is coming from.
    In any event, since there was no way to shut down the system, I had to do a hard shut down. There was a few minutes of waiting because, now, my power button is no longer functioning as it should - as in, it seems to only power on the laptop at my prompting when it deems necessary, not whenever I push it.
    Moreover, having just rebooted with a clean boot (disabling all but MS services), my screen and touchpad both shut down and an external monitor and mouse were required. This seems to point to a graphic card issue, but it's a weird issue since, unless I'm booting into Windows normally, I've never had an issue with either the touchpad or screen through this whole mess - even booting into Safe Mode, I only encountered this issue once and only during the midst of the mess when the laptop was undoubtedly a mess.
    At this point, I'll probably try to boot into this current Windows install once or twice more before giving up and installing a fresh copy of Windows (have a CD), losing my recovery partition. Honestly, considering the loss of the power button's reliability, this seems like it's just a brick that occasionally rouses itself to be more.  I'll report back with news of the clean install just in case anyone else ever runs into this special unicorn of a problem, but it appears my issue is a lost cause.
    Frankly, I'm just annoyed at HP at this point. Leaving aside the fact that the warranty seems to have started over a month before the laptop got to my hands, this laptop top is just a couple of months out of warranty. I don't expect hardware manufacturers to guarantee their products for life, but the hardest thing running on this machine was Office (well, SETI@Home for the last 2 weeks). It was sitting elevated on a desk for the entirety of its life, and the CPU barely ever surpassed 50% usage. Every month or two, the vents would get compressed air sprayed in to get rid of excess dust. The only hardware change was done before the laptop ever turned on and that was a RAM upgrade. What I'm trying to say is that this was a laptop that should have given me, at the very least, more than just a few months of out warranty in terms of usage, and even if it dies, it shouldn't have been some catastrophic failure as this appears to be.
    PS None of my blinking corresponds to the HP list of blink codes. It's my power button that's blinking, not my caps button light or wireless light or anything like that. And it was a steady blink off and on. Moreover, the blinking is no longer occurring since the successful MIR.

  • HT5706 I cannot get my Apple TV to turn on.  Light keeps blinking fast but I can get no signall.

    I have unplugged the Apple TV and the HDMI cable, waited a minute and replugged. 

    You will need to grab a micro USB cable and restore via iTunes

  • I have Apple TV, the light is blinking slowly and the screen doesn't move past the apple symbol. How do I fix this?

    I've tried shutting it off, unplugging the device but nothing works.

    I miswrote. I meant "how do you connect it to the computer?" Sorry. In any event, the posts here indicate that it will for now be a waste of my time to try the time-consuming fixes that have fixed things for nobody.

  • TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

    You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
