Is Your ATV2 Back In Action?  What Happened?!

Well, mine was down for more than 24 hours, suffering from the same issues so many others on here were experiencing (no Home Sharing, no Internet, did not recognize Apple ID, etc.).  However, at about 10pm tonight I was watching my Blu Ray player and I see the ATV light turning on and off a few times.  I wasn't doing anything with the network but it appeared to be switching on by itself.  Then, when I checked it out I just had to reconnect to my Wi-Fi network and everything was 100%!
Whatever happened was obviously on Apple's end, but the fact that they didn't issue any type of statement during that time period is NOT a good indicator of what we may be facing in the post-Steve Jobs world.  A horrible stumble on Apple's part.

Hmmm.   I don't know.
Though if I type "Utility" in the search box at the type of Launchpad, all the Utilities show up.
Good question.

  • My lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen just went black. my phone didn't die because it was on 80%, i don't know what happened. any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened?

    my lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen went comletely black. it was simply placed on my table. i know it didn't die because it was on 80%, but any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened to my phone?

    If plugging it into power doesn't cause it to power back on, you're going to have to make an appointment at the genius bar and get it serviced.

  • Printer 9800 no lights, no action, what happened?

    Printing fine a couple of days ago, and now nothing!  What happened?  I checked power cords, usb cords, nothing, am on island in Caribbean and need printer to work . . . sigh!!!!!! help!

    greg sahli: I followed your suggestion to reset the printing system and re-install the driver update. While there is indeed a Receipt for the 1022 Series pkg, the driver does not appear in the drop down menu. The drivers closest to the 1020 that appear are 1010, 1012, 1015, and 1100. None of these drivers work.
    I did find an 80% solution at Macosxhints. I will make do with this until the new OS X system comes out. If it has the 1020 or 1022 driver that works with my printer I would probably buy it. However, if it does not and the fix from Macosxhints doesn't work with Snow Leopard I'll be hard pressed to justify an upgrade until my printer dies.

  • My Firefox browser is gone! My opening page is Yahoo but there is no browser for firefox, not even a 'back' button. What happened?

    I am not sure how it happened but my browser is gone. I have just my Yahoo page (home page). I cannot type in a website address. Not even a back button.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"

  • What happened to English definitions for Japanese words?

    I have an iPhone 4S.  When I was using iOS 5.1.1 I was able to hold my finger on a Japanese word in an email message and buttons would pop up, one of which said "define."  When I touched that button I would see the definition in English as well as in Japanese, and the correct pronounciation.  Now that I have upgraded to iOS 6 I can only see the definition and pronounciation in Japanese, the English definition no longer appears.  Do I need to change a setting to get the English defnitions turned back on?  What happened to this incredibly useful feature??

    I think it is gone.  Tell Apple what you want via

  • I purchased the jt album on itunes but it's not in my library and its says purchased! what happened

    help pls

    Hi Friend,
    In iTunes, you need to pay attention to mark/unmark the fields properly to everything runs well.
    Syncing your device with iTunes, open your device. In the Resume Tab, if you have marked "Just sync Music and Videos selected" and/or have unmarked "Manage Music and Videos manually", they mean you need manage which music/videos you want in your device.
    Go to Videos Tab, check if the video is there, but probably it is unmarked or something like this. Mark the blanked field and sync with your device again to see what happen.
    If sitll not working out, check how iTunes Match works. You maybe need to have an account in iTunes Match to share the video with other devices you have.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • HT4095 What happens if the genre box goes missing on the top left corner on your iPad? How do I get it back?

    What happens if the genre box goes missing on the top left corner on your iPad?How do I get it back please help me.

    Try quitting iTunes and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try a reset if quitting the app doesn't work.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT5624 What happened to all my library? I don't have an Iphone only an Ipod. But only my recent purchases show up on my computer. How do I get them back?

    What happened to my entire 3000+ songs in my library I used to see when I opened iTunes? I only see the most recently purchased. How do I get them back? I don't have an I phone to play they on, only a droid.

    Hi Sarah,
    It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

    Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support.  I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday.  So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen.  You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address?  Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words.  Lemurs and cats are profane now, what?  This is why I hate computers.
    Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation.  I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use.  The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart.  What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again?  Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

  • What happens to shared folders/mail when I disable/remove a mailbox in Exch2010 and which is better to get space back?

    We have a number of old mailboxes taking up room.  The users are long gone and I looked into removing them.  The clients of these users have been moved to others.  The users had shared folders that held this info.  I have a few questions
    about the removal.
    1. Is there a difference in time before space is given back if I disable versus remove the user in EMC?
    2. If an ex-employee had folders that others are sharing, what happens when I do the remove/disable?  Will the folders still be out there on the people who had it shared or will it vanish from them too?
    Thanks for your help.

    "Best practice" is going to be defined by each company.  I worked for Microsoft for 13.5 years, assisting over 100 large companies deploy either Windows or Exchange, and none had the same definition for their "best practice". 
    If you need access to a mailbox for a time period, you figure out a way to keep it.  If you want any terminated employee's mailbox gone tomorrow, it is gone tomorrow.
    I am a fan of having some sort of process that runs periodically to clear out unnecessary mailboxes and accounts, but if there are business reasons for keeping them around, that needs to be defined into the process.  In my current company, terminated
    accounts are kept for 30 days, mailbox included.  We give mailbox access to a different employee if required and tell them that if they need anything, they need to pull it into their own mailbox.  Then, when the account disappears, the mailbox goes
    into the dumpster.  So, if someone forgot to pull a message, they tell their boss and live with the consequences.
    But again, that's just another example of how it might be handled.  You get to define what will work for you, including pulling your business units in to help with the definition.

  • TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

    I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

  • My iPad has been syncing for 18   hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing.  What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done.  Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

    My  iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud.  Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay.  No photos yet.  iPad has 5 gb of photos on it.  What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks
