I have a 1st generation apple tv that my kids use in their tv room but the remote now will only toggle up and down. Anyone have this problem, can only acess movies and can toggle over to the side for tv shows or other content

Really frustrating. I have tried to pair 2 different remotes to see if that was the problem, but still can't toggle but up or down........ help!!

Have you restarted the AppleTV?
I have several white remotes for ATV1's and a couple have 'sticky' up buttons that require a harder press (one of these was chucked in the sunk a few years ago by my daughter), so I'm not convinced of their longevity as much as I prefer them ergonomically over the new silver ones.
Odd for two to be exhibiting the same issue which which is why I suggest restarting.  If you had a low battery you'd probably be getting an onscreen warning icon.

    I have checked that I have the latest softwear 3.0.2. Is this the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Using Firefox I cannot get my YAHOOMAIL CONTACTS list - it just hangs, whereas no problem if I use Internet Expolorer. Others have this problem, can you help please.

    Nothing more to me said.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    I have the same setup as you and don't experience a problem with it. See screenshot.

    You can contact iTunes support via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (on these forums we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then try selecting Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I can't access my Numbers documents now that I have 10.9.3.  It says I have to buy and upgrade. Anyone else have this problem?

    I can't access my Numbers documents now that I have OS Mavericks 10.9.3.  It says I need to buy an upgrade for 19.99 to access them.  Anyone else have this problem?

    If you upgraded from previous OS, Look in Applications folder for an iWork folder and launch old Numbers from there.
    If you clean installed, look for your old install disks for iWork and reinstall.
    They will run on Mavericks but they need to be there.

  • TS3354 I downloaded a HD and SD version of the movie and can't play it on my 1st generation Apple TV

    I bought a HD version of a movie and it won't play on my 720 p TV or WIndows PC, then I went back and re-downloaded the SD version of the movie. Now the SD version will play on my Windows computer, but it still won't play on my 1st generation Apple TV.

    AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
    Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
    You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
    NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes.  If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

  • Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

    I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask  and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

    I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
    Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?

  • Hello.  My 1st Generation Apple TV with HDMI cable does not turn on.  Its a used model purchased on eBay.  I've checked and ensured that the electrical plug works.  Is there anyway to manually check to see if the unit turns on or do I have a defective uni

    Hope I'm using this forum right.  I purchased a 1st Generation Apple TV on eBay.  Unfortunately, I cannot get it to turn on.  I have another Apple TV (1st Generation) that works flawlessly on another TV.  So I tried to use the new unit on this TV with same electrical cord and HDMI cable.  No luck.  It would not turn on.  So I do not know if I have a defective unit or if there's another method of turning on the Apple TV.  Again:
    1.  I double checked and it was on the correct HDMI setting (the other Apple TV worked on it) and used the same cable
    2.  I double checked that the electrical was correct - again, the other Apple TV worked correct.
    Any suggestions on fixing this would be most appreciated. 
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    A good indication would be the status light to begin with, it should flash rapidly on start up and then settle down (assuming the status light is working-they have a habit of fading)
    The other thing you could try is cycling the resolutions in case the previous user has left it on a setting that your TV doesn't support.
    Press and hold both the 'menu' and '+' on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
    Press '+'or '-' on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
    Pause a couple of seconds after each press for the Apple TV to accept your selection.
    When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and “If you can see the Apple logo, select OK” appears on your TV screen, press 'select' .
    If that doesn't help, I fear the Apple TV is defective.

  • Why is Apple trying to phase out the 1st generation Apple TV, but they still sell shows, and movies?

    Why would Apple continue to sell movies to people who won the 1st generation Apple TV,  while they are obviously trying to phase it out?  That is totally unfair to the original customers!  The upgraded remote only works with audio content, and not video!  If they are phasing it out, than they should no longer sell products to download to it!  Or when they upgrade their remote app, have it work with the item that you're still making money off of! Now, I have to turn on my computer in order to listen to music with the new upgrade, whereas I never had to do that before!

    Hello:
    You are only talking to users here (not Apple).  I suggest your direct your question to Apple HQ in Cupertino.

  • HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
    In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any  downloads are finished, the icon disappears.  I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
    My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes.  Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
    I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail.  Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies.  Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'.  Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab.  Hey Presto!  The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
    This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading.  Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me.  Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem.  Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie!  We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
    In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV.  Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it!  We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough.  We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same.  One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired.  There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie.  Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

    Hi dip_kinu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what device you are trying to set up and what is happening when you try to do so. If you are having issues remembering your Apple ID, or feel like you may have set up multiple Apple ID's, you may find the following page helpful:
