My apple TV Gen 3 doesn't start

My Apple TV Gen 3 wont start, its completely dead.
I have tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes wont find it either..
I have also tried to press the menu and down button for 6 sec on the remote but nothing happens..
The remote works fine on my iMac so i doesn't think thats the problem.
Any body does have a clue what to do?

The ac cord requires a bit more force to insert than you may expect. The male receptacles are also recessed, so if you don't insert fully then it won't get power.  Something else to consider

  • My Ipad2 is always restarting, but only appears the apple symbol and doesn't starts. What can I do?

    My Ipad2 is always restarting, but only appears the apple symbol and doesn't starts. What can I do?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I don't think it's paired with another device, as the Apple TV (3rd Gen) is the only device I have from Apple, that uses this remote (unless my iPhone or iPod can pair with it) ..or maybe the remote pairs with other than Apple products ? (Can it) ?
    I have tried to press the menu and right - left - up- down - middle - play/pause simultaneously without anything happening.
    All I'm left with now, is a brick with a flash on it.
    I never connected it to my laptop before it broke down (as it only was 2-3 days old) can that be a problem for resetting it ?

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

  • Apple logo comes up but ipod doesn't start

    When I turn on the device the Apple logo comes up but the ipod doesn't start and go to the menus it just stays with the logo. When I hold down the play/pause on the click wheel to put it to sleep a symbol of a triangle with an exclamation point in the center comes up along with "www.apple.com/support/ipod." I tried rebooting it with Menu/select but nothing happens.

    Unfortunately, on a "classic" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, the most likely cause is a faulty hard drive.
    You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If that works, connect it to the computer and run iTunes.  iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is data corruption or a software issue (and the hard drive has no physical problem), the Restore should fix it.

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • Apple TV gen 3 video freezes, audio stops

    I have two Apple TV gen 3 units in my home, both are running the latest version of the firmware.  I have a collection of movies in iTunes on my PC that are all HD in supported formats both video and audio.  My problem is that almost every time now when I'm watching a movie from the Apple TV, after a while the video will start to skip and get jerky, the audio often stops working completely even if the video is still playing.  Most of the time the remote for the Apple TV also has no effect on the unit, I can hit pause or back and nothing happens.  The unit won't respond and just keeps going.  Normally I have to pull the power cord and let it reboot before I can continue watching the movie.  That usually helps for a while, but almost guaranteed I'll have to do that again at least once or twice more before the movie is over.
    This only started happening after the most recent firmware update, and only in the last few months of usage.  It also only happens if I'm playing HD movies out of my home iTunes library.  Netflix and other videos sources like YouTube are not affected and seem to work perfectly fine.  I'm not sure why its only my movie collection causing this issue.  As I said, all of my movies used to play just fine on the same Apple TV, its only recently that these issues have come up.
    I even tried swapping out the Apple TV with a second one in my kids play room.  It has the same problems, but one isn't quite as bad as the other.  So I'm wondering if this is something other people have noticed as well, could it be a firmware issue, some kind of glitch in the OS?  Or has something else changed?
    I don't think it has anything to do with my home network, its all wired gigabit ethernet (NO WIFI), buffering is fast and works fine, the jerky video and audio issues occur even if the play bar shows there is buffered video ahead.  I really don't understand what the problem is and its driving me nuts.  Any tips, ideas or suggestions?  I was hoping Apple would release a new version of Apple TV soon so I can just replace these with a more powerful unit.  Unfortunately I'm still waiting.  Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

    Nevermind - the issue was my storage system where the movies resided.  There was a RAID controller issue causing the problem and once I replaced it and re-configured my storage media, everything is working fine now!  There is still a bit of jerky video now and then, but that happens even when the video is fully buffered.

    Yeah it is quite a mess... but thats what you get when you try to use hardware that picks and chooses the bits of the UEFI standard it wants to include.
    So like most UEFI systems, Mac(book)s are able to boot their own system with it's EFI setup.  It *can* also be used to boot other systems, but setting it up is unique to Macs.  So for the purpose of "bootcamp", Apple introduced a bios compatibility mode.  When it was introduced, there was no real windows UEFI prevalence (existence?) at that point.  So that is how they made this possible.
    But the compatibility mode is not turned on by default.  OSX uses GPT (according to the standard and everything in this case), but when it makes a "bootcamp" partition it adds to the GPT a MBR partition table (ms-dos) with partitions.  According to the GPT spec, there is the actual GPT partition table, but there is also the inclusion of a MBR with a single partition spanning the whole disk.  This is to protect the disk from being overwritten by non-GPT aware tools (like fdisk was until recently).  So a hybrid MBR simply adds partitions to the ms-dos partition table that (hoepfully) line up with at lease the first few partitions of the GPT.  When this is present, the machine will enable the bios compatibility mode.
    Booting the Mac with EFI will have no bearing on the Arch Linux installation that is installed in bios compatibility mode.  It will use its own bootloader and everything.  So there should be no issue.  It is probably good to use something like rEFInd in order to give yourself a nice interface with which to select between the two though.  The other boot loaders and/or boot managers don't have the ability to recognize both EFI and bios bootloaders.

  • Apple TV Gen 2.. Terribly Slow Streaming From Wired Home Network via itunes Windows 7. Please Help

    Hello all, I just signed up for this as i hope to get more results from here than i did waiting 4 hours for a call from apple today.
    I recently purchased an Apple TV Gen 2.. installed it on my Samsung 40" HDTV via HDMI cable and also ran a network cable to my basement where my router, (Linksys 5 port router plus Wireless) is mounted on the wall beside the cable modem.
    just to rule things out i will give some spec's and details before i get further into this.
    My goal is to use my Desktop Homebuilt PC running windows 7 ultimate 64bit to store my Digital Movie Library and stream through itunes all of my digital media to my Apple TV located in another room. Both Apple TV and my desktop windows 7 PC are hard wired NOT WIRELESS.
    My internet connection is cable and tested it this evening several times at  58.9 Megabits per second down and 8 Megabits per second down... (yes that is correct 58mb/s down. this equates to about 7.1 megabytes per second download speeds for reference.
    Now just to rule out my 2 year old wireless router i went and purchased a brand new router today... Same results.
    Now on to the problem details and my findings.
    Using my Desktop PC wired to try and stream Itunes movies from the streaming is absurdly slow.. very slow... i have yet to wait to see what happens after 30 minutes of waiting for a Movie to start.. music also takes a long time to load...
    Music... i can go to icloud funtion which i paid for today.. and click on the same song in icloud and the song starts almost instantly, so does music videos...
    Also previously purchased TV shows starts playing from the cloud almost instantly as well even HD TV shows...
    Trying to stream anything through my desktop windows 7 pc just doesnt work right...
    I have narrowed this problem down to my desktop.. but can not figure out what the problem is...
    using my macbook air 120GB SSD wireless over the same network, which i also have a mirrored copy of my itunes library for testing purposes... there is zero issues with streaming anything from my macbook air over the same network via wifi...
    Also using my ipad 2 mirroring works flawlessly, even HD movies plays without a hitch... same goes for my iphone 4s
    the only issues i am having are with my desktop and streaming from my itunes libary on it... i do not want to use my macbook air.. as that defeats the purpose of having apple TV.. in the future i plan on ripping my entire DVD / Blueray collection to a 3 TB hard drive and stream to my AppleTV...  from my desktop computer storing my entire DVD / Blue Ray library digitally on the 3TB hard drive....
    But i can not get this to work...  i can see my itunes libary on my desktop.. i can play music and watch movies.. other than anything HD will not play... but everything takes a rediculously long time to load... i can download an entire movie with my 58mb's connection in the time it takes to load something streaming from my itunes libary on my desktop PC...
    if anyone has any suggestions.. there may be something i have overlooked or i am missing. any input and or advice will be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks,

    Ok.. in order to help other users i will post this..
    I have resolved the issue... it was rather simple and dumb...
    I never use windows media player ever.. i do not like it and can not stand it.. because in my case it was a brand new windows installation this fix will only apply to certain users..
    because it was a brand new windows installation.. i had never clicked on windows media player.. apparently streaming settings are embedded into windows media player for the windows 7 OS...    in past installations that i have used for years.. i simply never ever clicked on windows media player, as i never had a reason to.. i use itunes for my ipad, iphone etc.. etc... 
    by accident and shear luck i decided to click on windows media player.. and of course go through the express settings....  after i did this all of my streaming problems to my apple tv gen2 disapeared... HD movies now start almost instantly... so as i stated above apparently there are media streaming settings embedded into the OS through windows media player... doesnt make any sense to me as i never use the program.. but whatever that fixed my issue..
    so for any of you windows 7 people out there using a windows 7 pc as your itunes sync computer and using that itunes library to stream to your apple tv... make sure you have done the initial setup at min.. of windows media player.. i still left itunes as my default player....  everything now works flawlessly... infact for whatever reason.. even in an HD movie my network almost has half the movie synced now accross the bar before the movie starts so now my apple tv is blazing fast....
    i have been struggling with this for 2 days now and simply never gave it a thought that windows media player would ever have anything to do with itunes streaming a totally seperate program.. but it did..
    i hope this helps other people with similar problems.
    good luck
