My Atv (black) wont restore or work at all on tv. Suggestions?

Thanks, yes have tried this. It comes up with an error message. Apparently I need to get it into DFU mode and then restore in iTunes, however not managed to figure how to do this yet.

  • IPhone 4s screen is completely black and does not work at all; has not been dropped. Any help?

    I opened up youTube using a shortcut from the Cocoppa app last night, and the screen froze, my home button would not work, so I locked it. The phone was charging at the time and nowhere near dead. After I did so, I pressed the lock and the home button [ not at the same time ] and the screen would not light up at all, it remained completely black. So, I unplugged it and plugged it back into the charger and it made the little sound it does when you do so, that told me it was not dead, and had not turned off. I held the lock button down to turn it off and swiped where the "slide to shut down" bar would normally be if my screen actually worked. It did nothing. My phone screen does not work at all now, even though it makes sounds such as Siri's little pinging noise when you hold down the home button. I am thoroughly confused and urgently need help to solve this problem.

  • I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen. Now the ipod doesn't work at all. Any suggestions?

    I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen ( non-registered) unsuccessfully. Now the ipod doesn't work at all with any public firmware. Any suggestions?

    You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to take this up in the forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

  • My iphone 4 wont restore i have tried all day

    I was using facebook and bam the screen literally faded away.
    I tried turning back on but it froze at the apple logo. So i plugged into laptop and it appeared in itunes in recovery mode iv tried all day to
    restore it but it fails with a error 14 code. Iv tried absolutely everything and to no avail im so annoyed im back using a standard nokia phone
    What should i do? i think nothing will help at this stage only to send it in for repair..

    Since Apple doesn't repair phones (they replace them), I have to assume you had someone else do it or did it yourself. They DO replace batteries, but they would not replace the dock connector.
    It's impossible at this point to say what might be wrong. You can check ifixit.com and see if anyone there has any advice...
    What you should have done is taken it to your local Apple Store. They could have replaced the battery for you for $69, or the entire phone for $149.  Yes, the battery seems expensive, but it's far less expensive than a brand new phone.
    You are no longer eligible for an out of warranty replacement from Apple.

  • I have DAP (Download Accelarator Plus) installed in my Laptop. It was working fine in Firefox 4 but few days ago since i've updated the browser to firefox 5 its not working at all. Please suggest what should be done as this software isnt workg as of now?

    cant download using DAP

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Hi, I was given an iphone 3gs. Upon trying to sync with itunes I discovered that the phone has actually been jailbroken. I cannot get my iphone to work at all now. Does anyone know what to do?

    The phone has given me a 1015 error - unknown error has occured, during the firmwre comfirmation.
    We have tired the tricks with holding the home button down for 10 secs etc, we have tried installing a number of different versions of itunes, but no joy.
    We did do a backup of the phone before trying to sync it but can't re-install that either.
    I have been told the only way to get the phone functional again is to re-jailbreak it, do a back up of that and try to udpate back to the apple IOS from there but the phone is not responding.
    It turns on, and is in emergancy mode only, wehn I put hte sim in it's not recognising it, all it wants is to connect to itunes, which it wont do when you try.
    I don't know what to do try next, at a dead end here.
    I don't want a jail broken phone, I just want it to function like its meant to but at this stage I will settle for a phone that works at all.
    Any suggestions,,,,,,,,, anyone??
    Thanks for reading and considering my problem.

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • My ipod wont restore screen jus black

    my ipod wont restore always different error everytime screen is jus blank

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • ATV G2 wont start after restore

    Trying to restore ATV G2 using USB and iTUNES 11.0.4  After restore (which seems like it goes OK), ATV wont start up.  I get a slow blinking light, the apple screen, and then nothing.  Eventually light starts blinking fast.
    Is this a hardware issue?
    Have I restored the wong version of software/firmware to my ATV?

    Well, since I had a video signal, I assumed that the HDMI wasn't a problem.
    Network (WIFI- using a new Time Capsule Airport) worked with all other Apple devices in the house.
    Here's what I did to solve:
    Unplugged ATV2
    Waited 3 days (no particular reason- just no time to mess with it)
    Performed a restore again (power was not plugged in to ATV during restore)
    Reconnected.
    Now it works fine.
    Can't explain why.
    (I don't think anything changed over those 3 days)
    I guess if at first you don't restore, try, try again.
    Thanks

    I updated itunes and everything but nothings working and i just can't figure it out?
    Everytime i restore the stupid thing, it never pops up in my itunes again like its supposed to!

    Loop
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

    Hello chindeepchow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

    Resolve communication issues
    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

  • My iphone 5 screen is black but touch works and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do?

    and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?

    Hello Dopeslayer242,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • Tried to update the software on my i pod touch  and now it does not work at all and wont restore either

    tried to update software on i pod touch but would not work and now ,wont restore back to factory setting or anything

    Without more information all I can suggest is:
    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.
    - 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.
