My Apple TV keeps turning off in the middle of set-up.  What is going on?

I have been trying to set-up my Apple TV and everytime I get almost finished typing in my homeshare information the TV screen goes blank and the Apple TV wont restart for 10 or 15 minutes.  What is going on?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable                     
    - 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.

  • Why is my 6plus turning off in the middle of calls?

    my 2nd 6plus is having the same issue of turning off during the middle of a call. 20% of all calls my phone will act like it shut down while talking and then 20seconds later the apple logo appears like it is turning on.  The interesting thing after the phone comes back on, the caller is still there.  Apple says they have not heard this yet and I have had 2 6 pluses have the same problem - Sprint is the carrie.
    thank u

    I clicked that I had this same problem on your question...and just found this in another thread and am trying it after I send this to you. Hope it works for both of us!

    Re: Why does my apps suddenly shut down when in use?
    Jan 8, 2012 10:22 AM (in response to Kctc)
    I just got this problem fixed on my iPad. Here's what to do..
    Double click the round on/off button at the bottom of the screen
    A display of apps which are currently running will appear at the bottom of the screen
    Press and hold an app icon until a little red minus sign appears on the icon (it will appear on all of them)
    Press the minus sign, and the app will completely close. Clear all app icons.
    Go to safari and make us all tabs are closed.
    Reboot iPad by pressing and holding main power button on the top side of iPad.
    The problem should vanish when you power up again....for good!
    Good luck!

    It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

  • New iPod Nano Turns off in the middle of any track playing - Apple Bummer

    So, I just received my iPod Nano as a replacement to an early generation of iPod Nano's that are subject to recall.  The new Nano has been updated as of 21 Jan 2012.  Songs loaded into iTunes under MAC OS X Lion, iPod Nano synched with my computer, and I'm ready to go.
    What - not so fast!  Guess what?  The Nano turns itself off in the middle of any track you play.  I turned the shake and shuffle mode off to make sure that is not it.  And it is fully charged.  I even went through the reset procedures.
    So its less than 24 hours new/old so I go for Apple support.  My original iTunes etc accounts are associated with my house in America.  But I live in the UK right now.  So drill through Apple support and guess what?  Well, I live in London so no support is available.  And the Apple web site as usual does not provide much help in making calls.
    Apple's web site says there is no coverage on this as it is out of warranty?  24 hours new?  No warranty.  It says it comes with a one year warranty. And Apple UPS'd it to me yesterday.
    So question 1 is:  Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?  I hope it isn't operator head space but who knows, maybe it is.
    And question 2:  Does anybody have a good 800 number for me to call in the USA?
    Many thanks.

    I have the same problem and wondered if it was loosey goosey headphones which were just cheap 10 dollars buds.  So are you saying I should get new ear phones that fit tighter?
    That would be my guess....Here is what Apple has to say about the problem. 
       http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3700
    My guess is that it is a compatibility problem with older or aftermarket ear buds.  My daughter has a 6th generation Nano and does not have this problem but keep in mind she is using the ear buds that came with the 6th Generation Nano.  With the replacement program they are not sending new ear buds.  I just did a test with my daughters 6th Generation Nano using an old set of aftermarket ear buds I had in my desk and I was able to duplicate your issue.  I then used the ear buds from my Iphone 4s and did not have an issue with the Nano going to sleep and the music turning off.

  • Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

    I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date & time in the settings area.  Why does tha button turn off?

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

  • HT4796 My PC turned off in the middle of the uploading, how do I get the Mac to connect to my old PC again?

    I don't know how to fix this. If anybody could help me I would appreciate it so much!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To transfer files from another PC, you need a code that you have to insert in your Mac. As the code will be different, you have to turn off your Mac and start the migration again as you did it. Unfortunately, you can't do anything more

  • My iPod classic (160 gb) keeps pausing randomly in the middle of songs. What do I do to fix this?

    So, I got my iPod classic about 5 months ago. Every once in a while, it will pause in the middle of a song. This usually happens soon after I lock or unlock it, and if I touch the wheel, but also happens if I let it play without touching it.
    I've searched for solutions, but everyone says that their iPods keep pausing for a few seconds, then continue. When mine pauses by itself, it doesn't continue until I press the play button.
    According to iTunes, my iPod is updated with the latest software. So, I reset my iPod (middle button and menu at the same time), but it didn't fix the problem. Then, with iTunes, I reset my iPod. Again, this didn't help.
    It isn't because of my headphones because the same thing happened when I listened with different buds.
    Does anyone know what I should do?

    i to am having the same problem on my week old ipod classic did you manage to sort it out?? if so HELP please
