No signal on Apple TV3

Today i turned on my TV. Pressed the apple remote, the apple TV3 is showing the usual white light.
But, the TV says "no signal, check the connected device powersupply and cable connection and sourcequality"
When i press on buttons on my apple TV remote the light doesnt change.
Switching the HDMI cable to different HDMI 1,2,3 etc doesn't solve the problem.
What's wrong?

You might try a hard reset. It's helped me in the past.
To reset your Apple TV, press and hold the Menu and Down keys for at least 6 seconds until the white light on the ATV rapidly blinks. Let go of the buttons and the device will restart.

Apple TV3 wireless no longer works

I bought an Apple TV3 back in March 2013 and no it no longer recognises my wireless signal so can't connect to my network and therefore can't be used properly. I can still stream movies etc. to the device via my iPad so it can receive a signal but just doesn't seem to be able to pickup the network on its own accord?
Any thoughts or do i just need to get it serviced? I thought an Apple product would be able to last longer than 18months!!!
Any suggestions appreciated :-)

Restore it.

Apple TV3 Wifi problems

Hey. Can anyone help me? I apologize if anyone thinks that this has been discussed several times before on this forum. But I can unfortunately not find answers to my questions.
Have from July 1 tested Netflix on my Apple TV 3 with some problems. The stream runs perfectly until I suddenly get the error message "A problem occurred while playing this item. Try again later". I have to press the menu button and load the content again.
I have tried the following to correct this error. Cut the power to the modem and my Apple Timecapsule which I use as my wifi network, and then power cycle again. This has been without success. Have obviously the last update and have double checked several times to see that I have the latest version of Apple TV3.
I've tried to go into the "iTunes Store" and then change from 1080i to 720p and then to standard definition without success. Something that really should not be necessary since I have both a modem and timecapsule that is not older than 1 year old and bought new. And the internet speed should be more than enough. Speed of my internet line is 30mb./15mb. My 8 month old Apple Timcaspule the Internet signals coming from standing 3-4 feet in a straight line towards my Apple TV 3.
I also tried to disable the power cord to my Apple TV3 wall and then wait 60 seconds and start up again without success. Worth noting is that I can not remember that this error has occurred on my Apple TV3 other program selection / apps than netflix.
When I see content on Netflix the media is not loaded in advance to the timeline as it always gets done on youtube. But that's only because the media content is much larger than any of the youtube media, or what? There were no changes on this when I change from 1080i to 720p or standard definition.
I have found several articles about Apple TV that I'm unsure about dealing with my version of Apple TV3. Please see these articles:

If the third and fourth position are right, I have not this error. But if the fourth and fifth position, I have this error. Can anyone confirm with 100% certainty what is right? Has anyone here on the forum contacted Apple to investigate this?
How can I find out if my problems caused by this bug? I can of course be wired between my Apple and Apple TV3 Timcapsule to see what happens. What about pressing reset to factory settings? Have any other suggestions? Is there software to determine where the fault lies?

Is there a cure against apple tv3 being unable to open videos or music from itunes library?

HI!
I recently bought an apple tv and was trying to playback video and audio files on it.
activation of homesharing has been rather smooth (although i did have to open and close itunes several time). apple tv3 is able to download the library and lets me surf it.
my problems start when i attempt to open more than one video/song (one after another of course). It shows this circle which indicates download but does nothing. i'm able to exit from this screen but any attempt to open any file afterwards brings me the same result - running circle/star with no playback.
i read support info on the apple page and have followed more or less all recommendations, starting with allowing tcp/udp ports, making sure taht itunes is not on firewall, disabling power management on my wireless adapter, etc.
the most exciting thing is that i have the same problem if i run remote app on my iphone and/or ipad - it stops seeing itunes after a while. at the same time if i pair my ipad/iphone with itunes manually (using 4 digit password) it works smoothly.
tech specs: latest itunes running on win 7, latest software running ipad/iphone/appletv. connection over wifi.
i assume there must be a bug in the way itunes communicates with devices in the apple ID related homesharing. otherwise i can't explain why remote app works smoothly with itunes library in password pairing mode.
Has anyone faced anything similar and found a cure against the problem?
I hear different opinions re firewall, antivirus software (i use kaspersky). i'm not technical guy but assume if those pieces of the system allow to play one or two songs and then freeze, i don't think that the problem is in those pc.
WOudl be grateful for constructive feedback, hopefully with an easy solution:)
P.S> airplay from ipad, itunes, iphone works perfectly and without glitches.

Is this happening when playing from iCloud or locally from iTunes on your computer? If it is from your computer is the computer going to sleep? There is some bug in ATV that causes it to have problems being able to wake a computer that has gone into sleep mode. Some times it works fine and then sometimes for like a week ATV will not be able to WAKE the iMac. This can also be a problem if you are using an external hard drive and the hard drive is going into sleep mode. Also is iTunes running. If iTunes is not on then ATV can not connect to get content.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

Apple tv3 toslink output no sound

I have bough an Apple TV3 only to see the the audio output is toslink and not 3.5mm jack, which is what I have. All the sound systems I found with toslink wore too expensive so following a comment of another user here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3083434?start=0&tstart=0
I bough a toslink to rca converter. So I´m sending the audio from toslink to the converter, then from the converter I have an RCA cable that turns into a 3.5mm jack.
I have my Apple TV3 connected to my projector thru HDMI, but it is sending the sound to the projector aswell (which has horrible sound quality). So how do I get it to send the sound thru the toslink exit instead?
thank you

The first thing to determine with the audio is to find out which device is a having a problem by using either one (or preferably both) with another known working device.
if your Mac can see 10 other networks it is without much doubt experiencing interference.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different equipment, doing different things, in different locations. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

Is there any way for me to get a standalone browser to apple tv3. (I have a subscription online that allows me to stream episode from day befor.)

The thing is if i wanted to travel with my apple tv3. and have browser that works with it with out anyother divice i would be able to watch episodes i missed or even wanted to see with simple logging in to the website of the network and stream it from there.. What i wanted to ask is, is there anyway to do that if i dont have . computer, iphone, ipad, ipod or anyother divice with me to mirror or airplay to the apple tv.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV doesn't have a browser and doesn't allow you to add your own features.

My apple tv3, serial no. C07JWBZ9DRHN is not powering on. Connected with Computer, with micro USB cable with power on, it is not shown in Devices. How to rectify

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

HT1600 No signal on Apple tv

no signal on apple tv

I have just had this problem so disconnected my ATV and found a micro USB connected from my wife's Samsung phone .then you connect to your mac and switch on ITunes , it recognises the ATV and asks if you want to restore , click yes Voila! If you don't have a micro USB someone with a mobile less than a couple of years old will, hope this helps it worked for me. The USB slot is in the back of ATV but hardly visible it's so small so disconnect first and you will see it!

You will need a USB micro cable. Connect it to iTunes to restore.

My Apple TV3 demands that the sourcing devise and app must be active always

My son gifted me this Apple TV3 (Model A1469) with his first pay check. Cool. Isn't it? However I started get into troubles ever since.
Assume a 4 X 100 relay -
Apple TV expects the first runner should follow the second runner even after handing over the baton.
Google Chrome Plus - works like a 4 X 100 meter relay. Once the baton is handed over the first runner's job is over.
Called apple support and they confirmed that that is how Apple TV is designed to work. If suppose I play a movie on youtube on my iphone and choose Apple TV, I practically can do nothing on that phone. Wow! what a design.
K

Well.
Google Chrome, as I explained above, does not do that.
Assume these steps -
1. I Open Youtube on Chrome browser on my iPhone 5s
2. Start to play a movie
3. Select google chrome device to play on the TV - your TV plays the movie.
4. Now I go to office in SFO, the movie still plays on TV.
