My Apple TV menu keeps flickering between the standard menu and one that only has "Internet, Computers, and Settings" What is going on?

I will be watching a movie or tv show and it will just quit working, reverting back to a three selection menu. Then it will go to the standard menu and back, doing this a few times. I cant seem to get it to stop and it didnt happen when i first got the ATV.

I had this issue with both our Apple TVs and it turned out to be a bad router.
The router was generating enough radio interference on the Wi-Fi channels the Apple TVs used that they could not hold the signal, and were constantly associating/disassociating with the bad router.
I figured this out by monitoring the status logs on the Time Machine - Advanced tab, and seeing an associate/disassociate message every five seconds or so.
Removing the bad router fixed the problem.

  • Is there a difference between the LG EnV3 and the LG EnV3 VX9200 is this the same phone. the reason I ask is because one says it has internet access and the other one doesn't

    It the same phone but you don't have to have data on it if you don't want since they are older phones.  We had these phones without data as I didn't think they would be good for surfing the net compared to a smart phone.  Mary

  • Everytime that I attempt to download iTunes version 11.1 right before the download finishes, it says that iTunes has an 'invalid signature'. What can I do?

    I normally do not update my iTunes, but after the iOS 7 release, iTunes 11.1 was required in order to download this. I attempted to update, but right as the download began to finish, apparently iTunes has some sort of "invalid signature". This was not a problem, but then I upgraded to the iPhone 5s, and in order to transfer my music, apps and contacts to my new phone, this became a problem. I tried to update both on my desktop and my laptop and both came up with the same response. Is there any way to troubleshoot this or maybe transfer these things another way? I would rather not manually enter my 500 contacts into my phone.

    Try the suggestion here >  «iTunes» has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.»  HELP!

  • My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign in.  It will not let me sign in, nor can I power it off.  Help!

    My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen.  It will not let me sign on or power off.  It started about 20 mins ago.  One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time.  How can I fix this?

    Hi Bucky16,
    If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

  • I plugged my ipod, but it wont charge. it keeps flashing between the apple and the charge screen, what can I do?

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer but it won't charge or my computer won't recognise it. It keeps flashing between the apple sign and charge screen but the battery is not increasing at all, what can I do?

    See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • So, after my iPod touch died, i plugged it into the computer to try and charge it, and now it keeps changing between the charging screen, the apple logo, and a blank black screen, still hasn't charged, and its been plugged in for almost an hour now

    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?

  • Don't wanna album artworks keep floating on the main menu

    Is there any way to disable album artworks keep floating on the main menu of iPod classic?
    I think Apple should give us a choice to disable this function with next iPod firmware update.
    Some album artworks I don't want to show up there. And the key point is, the resolution of all my album artworks are 200 x 200. It is really enough for my 5G iPod video. But for my new iPod classic, all artworks would be force to enlarge the size for floating on the main menu like screensaver, and they look really crap.
    And I think those new default icons on iPod classic are really nice and that's what I prefer to show

    Given the resolution you've got them at, the other occurances of them in the UI - like CoverFlow and album art when a track is playing - also probably look not great.
    Turn of the option of synching them completely via the Music tab for the iPod in iTunes. Gets rid of the issue completely - and as you say leaves more useful icons in some places.

  • My iphone keeps flickering on the load up screen and my screen goes from blue to black and keeps flickering any solutions?

    as i said my iphone keeps flickering on the load up screen the apple logo goes back and forth and the screen changes colour from black to blue, help!?

    You don't say which year it is, but if it's a 13" you're not having a common GPU that some 2010 and 2011 15" models are having.
    Since reinstalling the OS didn't help, I'm afraid that the only real choice you have is to take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine. It's likely a screen problem, rather than a logic board problem (although that's always a possibility).
    The testing is free as if the estimate for repair. There's really nothing else you can do yourself at this point.
    Sorry,

  • When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

    when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
    Below is some info i get about ports.
    I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
    I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
    any suggestion ?
    These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
    TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
    TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
    UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
    TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
    TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
    TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
    These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

    When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

  • My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

    My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.

  • I have just connected my new apple tv, in the main menu I see only two icons; "computers" and "settings".  Where do I find the icons for internet, movies etc. We do not live in the US..

    I have just connected my new apple TV and in the main menu see only two icons: computers and settings.  How do I access the rest of the icons (internet, movies etc...)  We do not live in the US.  The unit has full WiFi access with no problems, I can access ITunes on my laptop via home sharing no problem.

    Glad that this solved your problem but if you searh past threads there are a LOT of people with identical problems.
    Reading through the threads my take is
    There seems to be something awry with wifi chipset. Typical symptoms are initially being able to connect to connect to a Wifi network then the connection is dropped. Then you see just the 'computers' and 'settings' icons on screen
    Power off, reset and factory restore doesnt seem to solve it
    Occasionally its nearby antenna cables etc causing interference
    One report with convincing evidence it was the HDMI cable, swapping to anotehr cable fixed the problem
    Plugging in ethernet works, this is purely a wifi issue
    Sometimes plugging in ethernet temporararily wakes up the wifi
    Many people seem to have exchanged their units only for the same thing to happen to the new unit a few weeks later. Just wondering if its a fomponent fail or heat issue.
