HT5706 After the update the Apple TV will not work - It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why - Message do not update if it works

After the update to the Apple TV, it will not work - It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why -
Message to users is, do not update if it works. This product apparently was not tested very well

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 Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.

Disc in drive that Mini will not recognize, will not eject. Is there any way to force eject? The computer says it's empty, but it's not.

I have a disc in the super drive but cannot eject it because the Mini does not recognize that it's there. I've tried the eject button on top of the screen and in the dvd player controls. I wish there was an eject button on the machine. Is there any way to force eject?
Thanks.

RGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

When sending a calendar invite to any email address (regardless of provider) that is associated with an Apple ID will not get the invite. Any email address not associated with Apple ID will. Why? Using iOS 6.0.1, iPad, iPhone and PC.

I have sent an invite to an email associated to an Apple ID and that email never received the invite. I then changed the email associated with the receiving Apple ID to something new and removed the original email address (the original email address is no longer associated with any apple ID even as the alternate). I then cancelled the first appointment, created a new appointment and again invited the original email address. That original email address then received the canceled appointment notification and the new appointment invite. This problem is not just with my Apple ID (sending or receiving) but several other people that have tested sending iCloud invites to other Apple ID users. Any thoughts?

Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

I am in the us on vacation in the usa but i am from canada and apple tv will not permit me to download any movies. Help

I am in the usa on vacation. I am Canadian and there is an apple tv in teh condo i am renting. However when I want to download a movie it tells me that I can not do so because my account is a Canadian account. Can anyone help.

That is because the unit is set up under the US and your account is only authorized for the Canadian store. You would have to change the location via settings.

A few emails in my inbox won't go away even when I delete them. They turn light grey and if I click on them again, it can only undelete. Will not move to trash in any way.

How do I permanently delete some emails which just turn light grey instead of going away from my inbox?

Choose the mailbox on the left, on the menu bar click mailbox, then click rebuild. That will usually get rid of emails that turn gray and stay in your mailbox.

Firefox failed today and will not reinstall nor run in any way

FF stopped working entirely. I uninsalled 13 and reinstalled 14.0.1. That did not solve the problem. I get msg that FF is already running but it is not running and does not show up in the Task Manager as an active process. Scan of machine for viruses using PrevX shows a clean machine. I have tried many of the ideas in this support web site but am limited since I have no ability to run FF. Resetting Profiles folder from Read-Only to not Read-Only did not hold as every time I checked the Profiles folder properties it is always resetting itself to Read-Only.

You probably see a green square, but not the check mark in the Read-only box.<br />
The green square doesn't have a meaning as Windows always shows that by default for a folder.
Do you still have the default profile as listed in the profiles.ini file as Default=1?

I-Pod touch only gives me the Apple symbol and will not respond to anything tried, including the "restore" method. Any clues? Thanks

I-Pod touch will not respond. I tried to "restore" it through I-Tunes and update which took nearly two hours, but it still only gives me the Apple symbol and does nothing else whatsoever. It seems completely locked up. Any help? thanks much!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"Apple TV is not responding" [ATV1] after 10.7.3 upgrade

Yesterday I purchased a movie on the Apple TV and then tried to sync it back to my Macintosh and got the error "Apple TV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689." Having recently upgraded Lion to 10.7.3 I do not know if the root cause of this problem is Lion 10.7.3 or iTunes 10.5.3.
I first verified that the Apple TV was working fine and then for good measure unplugged it and re-plugged it and it came up fine. It is connected via Ethernet, so I knew that the wireless network could not be the source of the problem. I hadn't changed any security settings on my Mac recently, but to verify that the Firewall settings were not the problem I turned off the Firewall, and that still did not resolve the problem.
Finally I was able to solve the problem from within iTunes by doing the following:
- In iTunes right-click on the Apple TV icon in the sidebar under DEVICES to display the context menu.
- In the context menu there should be an option to Transfer Purchases from "Apple TV". Select that option.
- The recently purchased content on the ATV will then be transferred to the Macintosh. And after that you will be able to sync content back to the Apple TV again.

FCS 3 is working as usual for me, although FCP did re-profile the RT Extreme settings and took a couple of seconds longer to start up the first time after updating. What else have you installed or updated?
I was also on the 10.7.3 beta. It did not change anything in the behaviour of FCS 3 there either.

Apple TV will not sync

My Apple TV used to sync with Itunes fine, but now I am getting a message "Apple TV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.
I have not changed anything on my wireless router.
Any thoughts?

I get the same problem occassionally. I find that on itunes if after i get the firewall message i click somewhere else on the apple tv droplist (for example music sub tab) then back to the apple tv main tab and click sync button it now works. No idea why it just does. Worth a shot if you have not tried it.

Help! My apple TV doesn't respond to the remote. I've tried resetting by pressing the menu and rewind buttons for six seconds and it isn't working.

My apple TV is not responding to the remote. I've tried pressing the menu and rewind buttons for six seconds and no response, I've also tried changing the battery and that hasn't done anything either. Not sure what else to do!

Have you tried disconnecting the power chord on the Apple TV for a few seconds, and then plugging it back in to restart the Apple TV? There may be a glitch with the ATV, and not the remote.

Just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home

My iphone 4s without warning has powered off and will not power back up? any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s has just powered down without any previous indication of problems and will not power back up? Any suggestions?

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is off

My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore. I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689" firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

Thanks Rudegar,
I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
Thanks again
