No Apple TV menu showing

I have connected my Apple TV and have it on HDMI2 on my TV but all that shows is NO SIGNAL on my TV screen.  I press menu on the remote and the light flashes once but no menu shows up.  Any suggestions?

Here is the trouble shooting page for no video.

  • Apple TV menu showing over now playing screen

    My Apple TV menu stays showing over the top of the movie/TV show/music video etc that is selected to play? I can't work out how to make it disappear and can't find any other similar issues in the community - thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • Apple TV menu shows only "Computers" app and "Settings" app?

    We have ATV 2nd generation and it has worked very well until recently.  We didn't use it for about a month or so and when we went to use it the other day, it turns on fine but our menu screen shows only 2 apps "Computers" and "Settings".  No movies, tv shows, Netflix, MLB, nothing.  When we click on the "Computers" app it asks to turn on Home Sharing.  When I try to enter apple id and password through ATV it tells me that the id and/or password are incorrect.  They aren't!  Home Sharing is on when I check iTunes on the computer.  In the "Settings" app I have tried restarting and resetting the ATV. It doesn't work. We are also unable to connect to iTunes from ATV.  I enter the id and password and I get a message the iTunes is unavailable and to try again later.  VERY FRUSTRATED!  Has anyone had these issues??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
        1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        2.    Also try restarting the router.
        3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
        4.    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • Apple TV Menu missing TV Shows & Music options

    Just set up my new Apple TV which I'm using in conjunction with OSX 10.6.8 / iTunes 10.5, and the menu screen only shows the Movie, Internet, Computers & Settings options, no sign of TV Shows or Music. I have Home Sharing selected in iTunes and can stream music and video from both my Mac and iPhone, but can't seem to access my library from the Apple TV menu. Why? Thanks.

    Like DougMcLean, same thing happened to me. With every other version of iOS in my AppleTV 2, I had YouTube, Radio etc items in the menu. Now after updating to the latest version everything is gone except for Computers and Settings. FYI, I am in Malaysia where the AppleTV is not sold. I got mine in Oz.
    I tried Settings to see if this is simply a setup issue, but there is nothing that I can see that relates to this problem.
    I have not tried studiogalatea's solution. By pulling the plug, do you mean that I simply remove power?
    Still I wonder what Apple is doing? Even if I am not able to buy movies in Malaysia (I guess its because of IP rights and piracy) I don't see why Apple has to cripple the device and only allow me to share my computer's content and nothing else! This is quite ridiculous. I can view anything on YouTube, Internet Radio etc on my computer anyway, since these sites do not prevent anyone in the world from viewing. So has Apple become everyone's conscience?

  • HT204053 Pop up menu shows my Apple ID in my iphone as my old email Apple ID. This happens when I try to go into iCloud . It does not show my new apple ID.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
    There are no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
    This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
    So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:
    USA
    If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

  • Apple TV not showing up in device list in iTunes

    Apple TV stopped showing up in the devices list in iTunes when I tried to sync my movies, and iTunes froze in mid-sync. Since there is no "eject" button for Apple TV in iTunes, the only thing to do was to close iTunes. When I opened it up again...no more Apple TV under devices. Apple TV works as a stand-alone and I can purchase and view using controls in Apple TV, but I can't sync iTunes with Apple TV, so all my previous purchases are stuck in iTunes until I can sync again. I have tried all the work-arounds suggested by Apple. This is my second Apple TV. The first one did the same thing before the returns deadline kicked in. Hey Apple!! Wake up and fix this!!! If I can't sync with iTunes then I am not putting any money into movie rentals or purchases!! This is costing YOU $$$$$$$$!!

    I had this problem and tried most of the suggested solutions. I could ping the ATV, so I had not network problems. Finally, this is the suggestion that worked for me (Windows 7 user running iTunes 9.1.0.79):
    - power off the ATV
    - open iTunes on the computer;
    - ensure "Share my library on local network is enabled in iTunes (Edit--Preferences--Sharing);
    - power on the ATV;
    - go to "Add Shared iTunes Library" on the ATV (Setting-->Computer menu, second line of the menu) which puts up a new passcode on the screen;
    - DON'T proceed with inputting the passcode number to add the shared iTunes Library, but instead press "menu" button on ATV remote to exit the "Add Library" function and return to the ATV setting menu;
    - this step seems to wake up the ATV<-->iTunes connection and at this point the ATV device reappeared on iTunes!;
    - on the ATV (Setting--Computer menu) I was then able to connect to the nominated iTunes library (top line of the menu) and enter the passcode required by that screen.

  • Takes a long time for Apple logo to show up on boot up

    My 13" mpb early 2011 takes a long time for the Apple logo to show up... Is there a way to fix this? (It should show up within 2 seconds after the initial chime)
    I have Win7 installed, could it be that? Since it might be detecting which partition to boot up with.

    Check login items ...
    Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
    Then restart your Mac to test.
    Not necessarily a Windows issue.

    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • Cannot get to Apple TV menu

    WWhen I turn on Apple TV, my television blinks "no signal". I have checked my connections and I am connected to my wireless signal. I've unplugged Apple TV and plugged in again.  Now the television screen goes "no signal" to Apple picture" to no signal, and keeps doing this. Yet I cannot get the Apple TV menu to show up. What do I try next?

    Sounds like it's run into a firmware problem.

  • Apple tv screen shows up cut off

    Just installed apple tv on my tv, having some issues with the screen.  everything is showing up to the left, cut off.  I have automatic and widescreen options availabe on my tv settings, and it happens for both. 
    I have apple tv set up correctly for my 37" 720p tv.
    What could be causing this issue?  I have tried all kinds of settings, and it shows up the same for each. 

    I have tried resetting Apple TV by both unplugging it and using the remote to restart it. The light on the Apple TV box responds to the remote but the Apple TV menu never shows up on the screen. It has worked fine until recently. Do I need to reset something on my Macbook laptop. The Apple TV icon shows up on my Macbook and my I-phone.

  • Contextual Open With Menu shows old non-existent Applications

    Open With Menu: Shows multiple applications. It even shows versions of older applications that are no longer on my hard drive. And if I select these older version, those older applications launch! I've checked the About... menu selection on these older versions, and sure enough it says the older version. Example: I only have the latest version of Opera 9.24 on my drive, but 3 older versions, plus 4 of one of them show. I can click each one and they ALL launch with separate windows for each one.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305627
    I followed the instructions to trash <com.apple.LaunchServices.plist> file and Restarted and the menu STILL lists all the applications. I then checked the Prefs folder again, and the <com.apple.LaunchServices.plist> hadn't even recreated itself yet.
    I'm totally stummped

    I just realized that in my previous post I neglected to mention, that the problem has quickly returned. Sorry for any confusion.
    Now after two tries, I notice that some .gif files have Preview icons others Photoshop. Some .gif files are listed to open with Preview, others with PS.
    If I use Cmd + i on a wrong iconed file and scroll down to any other app, select it, let the icon change, then without doing anything else, scrolling back up to the default (Preview), the icon finally changes correctly. Change All is now available, but clicking it has no effect on any other files that have the PS icon. Some don't even change over from PS being the default app to Preview.
    Same problem with .txt files. Some TextEdit, others Excel. So.. I am just changing them one by one, whenever I need to open one that is wrong.
    At least the multiple apps in the Open With pulldown are gone
    I'd sure like to know:
    1) Why are my Library files corrupting and
    2) Why is Dr. Smoke's fix creating icon problems
    3) Out of the 1,000s of threads, I wonder what the possibility of the good Doctor ever finding this on and helping us/me find a total solution. Help us Dr. Smoke, we need youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

  • When I try to print an address from Address Book on an envelope, the printer menu shows the menu from IPhoto.  All other print requests show the normal pinter menu. How do get the normal menu?

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • "Music Videos" under "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu is missing.

    I no longer seem to have "Music Videos" under the "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu. This occurred about a month ago now (early October). Does anyone know why? I have worked with Apple Support and I have reset my device to factory settings to no avail...
    I actually used this menu option often but I might have been the only person who did since I cannot find any information on it nor does anyone seem to know it even existed:)... I am more curious to find out what has happended now than expecting a fix for it.
    I have had a rough couple months with my Apple products actually...:(
    Thanks for taking the time to review.
    Regards,
    Roger Delorme.

    Having the same issues.....I have two 1st Gen Apple TVs and neither are showing on the Remote App on any of my devices as of Dec 24th.  Everything is connected to the same network, have most recent updates to Remote App, software of devices, itunes.  Rebooted router, computer, apple tvs....deleted the app, reinstalled...turned off wifi and homesharing, then turned back on and the Remote App will only find my itunes library and not the Apple TVs.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community T.McDonald.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    the apple store icon show an update, if i click it, says buy, shouldn't it be free?

    Hi..
    Make sure you are signed into the App Store before updating. And yes, updates are free.
    From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In
    Then click Updates at the top of the App Store window.
