  • White status light on Apple TV (2d Gen)

    The status light on my second gen Apple TV stopped working about a month ago.  The unit appears to work just fine otherwise, although it did take about a week for the iOS 5 update to show up as available.  Has anyone else experienced and fixed this issue?

    Sounds as though it's failed.
    One of mine died with a yellow flashing light.
    Apple seem to have no interest in repairing them.
    You could open it up and extract the small PATA drive if you have a use for that.

  • Turn off status light in apple tv 3rd generation

    is there a command that allows you to turn off the led status light on the apple tv 3rd gen
    WITHOUT HAVING TO NAVIGATE TO       HOME SCREEN>SETTINGS>SLEEP NOW.
    it is in the bedroom and the led is bright and only goes out after a long long time.
    you are watching Netflix for example. i'd like to shut apple tv off like you shut down the tv....
    with a button press, not having to navigate when you are falling asleep.
    all my software is current.

    sorry. solved.

  • Apple TV 3 Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?

    Since I updated my Apple TV 3 to 5.1.1, the Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?
    At the moment I have to go to the HDMI channel that my  ATV 3 is connected to, wake the ATV, then put it back to sleep, to turn OFF the status lght.
    When I first got my ATV I did not have this problem, when it was running 5.1.0.
    I sent in a Feedback form, but they only as the option to select the OS version of a NON iOS device.
    Is there a fix to this that wont involve me leaving my modem ON all the time ?
    I turn my modem OFF when I am not using the Internet because I am a bit paranoid about the security of the data on my devices, and if I leave the modem turned ON all the time it might make me an easier target for hackers etc. { This is NOT part of my question, just explaining why I turn my modem OFF ( I feel safer ) }

    The ATV3 does that to me when I turn on my TV. the light goes on and stays on. If I switch to the ATV3, it seems to be half asleep with the light on ... I do wish Apple would enable the HDMI CEC and then everything would make sense. I've turned off my wireless and on again but the ATV3 light does not turn on automatically for me.
    As you pointed out, I guess this could be a small glitch on the new firmware/software update... I wonder if this could be fixed by doing a restore from the iTunes app. I might give it a try tomorrow and see what happens...
    Cheers!

  • So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • When I plug in apple tv the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen

    When I plug in my apple tv (first gen) the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen.  The status light never turns white and won't stops blinking amber.  I've tried to over ride this with the remote, resetting it and trying to revert it to the factory settings.  Is there a way to wake it up or is it a lost cause?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The system looks like it's unable to start up, this could be software but more likely hardware, either way unless it will start up there is nothing a user can do to resolve this.

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Apple TV has no status light

    I just received an Apple TV. I have it plugged into the TV and to the power outlet, but there is no status light on the front. I can tell there is power to it because there is a red glow coming from the optical digital audio port. I have chosen the correct input to my TV, but it says there is no signal. Does this mean I have a faulty Apple TV or am I missing some step for turning it on?

    It should just turn on.
    It has a small  white LED in the front which would normally flicker in response to the remote.
    You may have a dud, but if you can check on another TV and try a different HDMI lead - occasional TV compatibility issues occur.

  • 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."

    http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/mirroring.html
    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.

  • 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.
