My apple TV has stopped working completely. Just a flashing Amber light

My Apple TV has stopped working. When it is turned on I just get a flashing amber light and it does not turn blue as normal. It doesn't connect wirelessly to my Mac and it doesn't connect to the TV. I do not get the setup menu and it is totally unresponsive to the remote control. I have tried connecting it directly to my Mac but this also does nothing. I am at a loss as to what to do next. I have a lot of films and music stored on it and I am worried that I have lost it all. I am not sure which generation it is, but it is the silver one, model number A1218. Can anyone help?

Unfortunately, it sounds as though your Apple TV 1 has failed. Unlike the later Apple TVs, you cannot connect it to iTunes to restore it.

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Apple Push has stopped working - Exchange Server Install

Just installed MS Exchange server. Set up my Windows 7 Pro machine and Outlook 2010. Everytime I open Outlook on my machine I receive a Apple Push has stopped working error.
Problem Details:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: APSDaemon.exe
Application Version: 2.1.14.3

You need to have iTunes recreate the Apple Push Service. To do this you need first !!!CLOSE ITUNES!!! to go to;
1. My Computer(or Computer if using vista or higher)
2. C: Drive (Usually called “Local Disk”)
3. Program Files (If you are using a 64 bit version of windows it will be in Program Files x86. To check if you are using 64 bit right click on computer and go to properties)
4.Common Files
5. Apple
6.Apple Application support
So your navigation bar should look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.
In there you are going to be renaming the file APSDeamon to APSDeamon.BAK and agree to any prompts that may appear. When you next open iTunes it will force iTunes to recreate that file as it is no longer able to find it. Now your apple devices should work again with your computer.

purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working. I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available. I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Licensing has stopped working is just the beginning...

About a month ago I got the error "Licensing has stopped working" when I tried to launch Photoshop CS3. I followed the steps on the forum
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html
finally uninstalled and reinstalled and my whole Creative Suite was working fine.
Suddenly a few days ago I got the same "Licensing has stopped working" error and decided since none of the other steps helped the last time except the uninstall, that I would uninstall and reinstall AGAIN.
Now when I try to reinstall I get the following message:
Installation/Reinstallation Completed
Some problems occured during installation. Please see below.
Summary
Successfully installed 2 components:
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Shared Components
Errors: 6 components
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
Component install failed
and so on for Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Version Cue CS3 Server and Shared components.
Support will not help me because I do not have CS5.5. If you have had this happen to you please offer any advice. I was not planning to upgrade just yet.
Other information:
I am running CS3 Creative Suite on Windows Vista. It was purchased through the student program while I was in college. It was working perfectly fine until the licensing issue first appeared a month ago.

Trying to connect TC - just get flashing amber light

I access the internet via DSL. I've attached the ethernet from the modum to TC, but all I get is a flashing amber light. I'm sure I've attached it to the right slot and I know this ethernet works elsewise because when I plug it in to my desktop or laptop directly, there is no problem.
I've researched and read until I'm blue in the face, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The TC is brand new, but I can't get it do anything. It is quite frustrating when it looks like it should be so straightforward.
I'd appreciate any suggestions...
Thanks,
Stephaniee

Turn the modem off and connect the modem to the WAN port of the TC using an ethernet cable. That's the left most port as you look at the back of the TC. Turn the modem back on. Then connect the computer to one of the other TC LAN ports using an ethernet cable. This cable will let you work with the TC without using a wireless connection. This is usually a better way to setup a router. Then you can start the Airport Utility and see if you can see what the TC is doing and/or having problems with. When you connect the TC to the modem the light on the TC should turn green.

My volume has stopped working completely after the iOS 8 update

My sound has completely stopped working after the ios 8 update yesterday.please help

I just now spoke with Apple support as I had a similar issue, where the volume on some apps and games did not work, and what I was told helped me out greatly.
what I was told to do is hold down the power and the home screen button at the same time for about three or four seconds until the device shuts down and you should see it restarting. If the device does not restart on its own hit the power button and it should restart and then you should have no problem at all everything should be as it should be.
I hope this helps you or someone else in a similar situation as it is helped me and hope this makes your day better.
My device is iPad air Retina.

It stopped working around mid December.

Hi,
It would be useful to know what you have tried.
Start with the Apple Icon menu top left and About this Mac.
Does this show the Serial Number ?
In System Preferences > Date and Time does it show the Automatic server in use ?
Have you set it to the Correct Time Zone ?
In Finder window use the GO Menu whilst holding down th ALT key.
Select the Library that Appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find the com.apple.iChat.plist and Drag it to the Trash.
Does the App start now ?
In the Font Book scroll to the bottom of the List and check the AppleGothic Font.
It should not be disabled. It should validate (File Menu) and not be duplicated.
Also check the Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande whilst you are there.
IF the app will open check the Details Button in Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account
This should list you Location (county or Region for telephone International codes).

Apple Push has stopped working

Hi, Windows Vista comes up with this message when I attach my 4th gen ipod touch. The error message says 'A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program ...'. Anyone have a fix for this?

I would try removing and then reinstalling all the Apple software:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above includes a link for XP.

My disk drive has stopped working and just ejects everything.

My disk drive has stopped dworking. I was just trying to import a CD to iTunes and it just spins it around and rejects it. I've tried with other CDs also and this does the same thing. Please help!

You may have a dirty disk drive or you may need a replacement. First try a disk lens cleaner.
