Apple TV status light blinking white

My apple TV status light is blinking white and the TV gets no signal. I have re-booted the apple tv and it gives me the sign to plug it into iTunes. I cannot do that as it has no USB connection so I am bit lost. I also have no idea how to tell which generation Apple TV I have. I have had it for a few years and finally had a reason to use it. I am pretty sure it is a 2G, but I am not sure. It worked when I initially set it up for a few minutes then required a software upgrade and everything went downhill after that. Any suggestions? Is it garbage?

I cannot do that as it has no USB connection
Yes it does. Its on the back.
The upgrade process failed for some reason. It just needs to be connected to iTunes via a USB cable so iTunes can manually install the firmware.

HT204492 If you're using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn't with the remote.

If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Apple TV v2 functioning fine, but status light permanently off

I have a v2 Apple TV, and everything seems to be working fine... but my status light is now permanently off.
I have tried disconnecting the power and HDMI cable, and experienced the issue with both Apple TV 4.1 and the newly released 4.2.
Anyone else have this issue, or know of a solution?
Kevin

I'm having the same issue on a brand-new Apple TV 3 that I received this morning. Everything seems to work fine (other than some home sharing issues that I wouldn't think have any relation), but there has not been a light.
You guys are also the first people I've found who had the same issue, even if it was from the ATV 2 and not 3. If anyone found/finds a fix, please let me know.

Time Capsule Status light is off

Why is the Time Capsule Status light off even though it is plugged in? The disc is spinning but it is not found in Airport Utility.

You have a Gen4 (look on the base A1409) that has committed ritual suicide..
Leave it unpowered for 12 hours.. then plug in again.. does the LED flash at all at start up.. LEDs on the ethernet ports.. no flash then no recovery.
It is now dead. At least the main router part is. The disk spinning shows it is not a failed power supply.. unfortunately I cannot even offer you a repair method. I did get one that failed that way.. pulled it apart and checked all the power supplies inside.. nothing was bad.. put it back to together and it started working again.. I do not know why but it has been reliable and working ever since. I do not therefore know what was actually the fault.
All I can suggest is the same treatment.. you have to pull it down and actually lift the board out.. ensure all the heat sink sticky tabs are connected and put it back together.. who knows.
You can at least recover what is on the hard disk if you need to, by putting the hard disk in a USB holder and plugging it into your computer.
If it is less than 3years old and you have applecare on a computer, you bought within 2years of the purchasing the TC.. apple may replace it.. check the rules as they are complex and convoluted.

My Apple tv status light is blinking fast - how do I troubleshoot?

my Apple TV gen 2 status light is blinking fast and I am not able to see anything from my Apple TV - how do I troubleshoot? What I read on the Apple site is that my Apple TV has issues. My Apple TV is hard wired to my Ethernet network. It is connected to my TV using an HDMI cable. It worked in the past but when I turned it on today it did not work. I have not used it in several months and we had a bad thunderstorm here a couple weeks ago.

I'm having the same problems as you. Any solutions? This is what i'm facing
1. No video signal at all
2. Plugged in power cable only, there is no light
3. Plugged in micro usb, there is flashing light
4. Restore via iTunes is sucessful but problem still persists

Apple TV status light dead & no video/sound output

After our move I hooked my entertainment center up and the Apple TV is dead. The status light won't illuminate even after plugging in. It will not respond to the remote as the status light does not respond. There is no video or sound output. I did a "restore" in iTunes (it recognized it so I know it "exists") but it is still unresponsive. I am working with known good cables and hardware. The only sign of "life" in the Apple TV is that I can see a red light eminating from the back of the unit around the optic audio port. There are no network lights (if there are any).
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Philly - I think you are confusing the Digital AV Adapter with something else. It is for use only with TV's and other video displays that have HDMI ports - not those that don't. Per Apple in their info on this device: "Watch slideshows and movies on the big screen in up to 720p by connecting your iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation) to an HDTV or HDMI-compatible display."

As I said before, I've not tried this adapter, so I don't know if its ability to mirror the iPad's screen is somehow blocked by the HBO Go app. As Demo indicated, it seems like the app may be blocked this way as well. Personaly, I don't need to this as I have HBO and Cinemax On Demand through my cable supplier on all televisions in my home. I might try it when I visit relatives who have Internet access but not HBO. If so, I'll report back my experience.
In regard to why Apple TV does not support HBO Go, some additional research seems to suggest HBO may not like the level of content security provided by Airplay. Interestingly, while Apple TV can't stream it to a large screen, HBO Go is now available for use on televisions through the new Roku box -- provided one has an HBO subscription through a cable or satellite provider. There is still no way to get HBO other than through an authorized cable or satellite service.

Xilinx Platform Cable USB II Status Light Always Off

I have been using the Xilinx Platform Cable USB II with ISE WebPACK 10.1 on Windows XP for a couple of years now.
Last week I bought a second Xilinx Platform cable, but I have not been able to get it to work. I have followed the instructions in the installation guide (ug344), and the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard runs twice when the cable is plugged in to a USB port, as expected. The wizard indicates that the installation of the firmware loader and the cable are successful. However, the status light on the cable never turns on. Also, the Cable Auto Connect operation in iMPACT fails:

I have tried using the cable with the latest version of ISE WepPACK on a computer running Windows 7, and I have followed instructions to uninstall and reinstall the cable drivers using a DOS command prompt. The cable behaves as described above.
Is there anything else I can try, or is the state of the status light an indication that there is hardware problem?
Thanks.

Correct. Even though iMPACT reports it is attempting to install firmware, the light is never on. I have not seen it on in any color since I bought the cable.
I have tried the latest version. I have a newer machine running Windows 7 with ISE WebPACK 14.7. Again, the drivers seem to install witouth a problem, but the light remains off. Here is the log when I attempt to connect to the cable:

Why does my Apple TV 2 status light periodically come on when it's supposed to be asleep?

Hi Community.
Apple TV 2 asleep. TV off. No remotes bring pressed, no 'activity' I can see but perodically my Apple TV status light will come on for a minute then go off.
I can't say exactly how much it happens but I notice it several times a day. If I switch on the TV the Apple TV is not 'on' even though the light is on. If I press the remote and wake it, it wakes and works as normal.
What's going on? Surely if the Apple TV is registering network activity or something like that, there's no need for a status light? Doesn't seem like a very Apple behaviour.
Thoughts?
Thanks, Rodí

not sure about atv2 but I have an atv1, and since these devices are never truely off,
when you see them as off it's just the video output which is disabled.
they are present on wifi all the time also when you see it as asleep
when a computer is on for enough time it will crash sooner or later
even googles servers require a reboot once in awhile
so my logic is that when my atv1 light up where it was asleep before
it's because it crashed because if I pull the plug and put it back in thats
what happens too

Apple TV loses picture output and status light flashes rapidly after 5 minutes hooked up via HDMI - DVI cable

Apple TV connected to a 2005 50" plasma monitor with DVI input via belekin HDMI to DVI cable. Unit worked perfectly long enough to get it connected to the wireless network and begin the itunes registration process when there was a loss of signal message on the screen from the monitor and the Apple TV status light flashed rapidly and continuously. Reset and reboot yeilded flashing rapid status light and no output detected from the monitor. I contacted support online and was told to return the unit to the apple store. I returned home with another brand new apple tv and connected it in the same manner with exactly the same results. Is there something with the HDMI - DVI interface that is causing this? Are there known issues with the HDMI - DVI connection to Apple TV with older plasma monitors?

The Apple TV doesn't actually support DVI. Some have managed to get it to work others have had varying issues with it.

Airport status light is dead

My airport Express Base station is completely dead - when I plug in the AC adaptor the status light is off. My warrantee is still valid for 32 days. What should I do?

If a factory reset does not work then report it to Apple.

HT1551 My status light is out, how do I turn it on. There is power to the unit

My apple tv status light has gone out. How is it turned on? There is power to the unit and it was working until we were gone for three weeks and now it appears to be in a standby mode.

Welcome to the Apple Community Audrey.
it should light up when you plug it in.

HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off. To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.
