Nothing working on the ATV...

Hi folks. This is the problem(s). I can't get the ATV to reset to factory settings. It seems to be stuck in "connecting to network" mode.
I've tried resetting, factory reset, diagnosis (everything is fine), unplugging the ATV, unplugging the router, restarting the computer, restarting iTunes.
The ATV "sees" my network, but cannot connect to the network. ATV doesn't show up under devices. I've got the ATV set to "share files".
The only thing that remotely works is when I connect through the ethernet. The ATV will then show up in devices and in prefs will show up syncing. But then it won't allow me to play purchased movies. It says the ATV does not have the authority.
When I try and reset the ATV, I'm supposed to get the screen with all the flowing monitors, but it doesn't do that.
Any ideas?
mhh~

I was able to get the ATV to reset by allowing it to reset without the internet. The ATV still cannot connect with the internet. (Apple store)
On ethernet, it will sync, but not play purchased movies, music or photos. I get the not authorized message. It will play movies that I've ripped.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

fazio96,
Could I prevail upon you to come up with a better thread title? I resisted my first inclination to move the thread to "Dustbin"; but I will say the title does little to inspire us to help. You may wan to read the article linked in my signature.
Thanks.
I'll change it now. I just realized it sounds rough, but I was mad because I couldn't get it work, it isn't anyone's fault, sorry
EDIT: I got it to work at an usable state! By using the 8192cu driver on the AUR and the suggestions in the comments about disabling power-save, I got it to be usable. It now has up to 8% packet loss, not 30-40% like before, and the ping spikes are now 300-400 ms and less frequent, not 1000-1200ms. It's not working really well but now I can at least surf the web. Thank you all for the patience.
EDIT 2: after testing more I realized it still disconnects every few seconds when I'm far from the AP. However, when connected, I still have very strong signal. If I use it on windows or another distro it doesn't disconnect. I tried compiling the driver from realtek by myself using the istructions in the second post but I don't know how to fix some compile errors, so I decided I'll stick with my usb dongle. Maybe someone will find a better solution.

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Display suddenly changed I have tried changing in utilities but nothing works. The print is enormous and out of focus the screen has shrunk in width but programs open too stretched in length? What can I do?

The display suddently changed two days ago. Everthing exploded in size. I have tried changing the contrast but nothing works. The display screen becomes either too wide, too long, or too narrow and in all cases the font is extra large and out of focus. What can I do please I am really disappointed since my iMac is only 2.5 months old.

Don't think so. But tried it anyway. I have been into utilities and tried different contrast settings now I don't know what is the right one. But no matter which one I tried I have either about a third of the screen black, with display centered as though hidden behind the black. What is going on?
Also, I have to say that I can't understand why there is no information anywhere on what the correct settings should be.
Any ideas Capt?

I installed ios7 last week. The Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. Problems with facetime the previous day, but that is solved. What's up with Safari?

I installed ios7 on the iPad last week. Problems with factime, but solved with online support. Now the Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. What's up with that? All other Internet uses are working.

Hi, a too full hard drive can really mess things up.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, , try to clear at least 10 GB of space & empty the trash, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Ipad will work when you hit home and then slide the unlock bar - then when you get to the homepage, nothing works - not the home button, it wont rotate, scroll, cant choose icons...nothing. help!

Ipad will come on when you hit home and then slide the unlock bar works fine - then when you get to the home page where the icons are, nothing works - not the home button, it wont rotate, scroll, cant choose icons...nothing. help!

The home button is the main button off the screen - where is the sleep button? When I hit home I only see the lock slider (its black) and a button that has a flower on it that pulls up photos we took that are on the ipad. Thanks for your help!

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Music I already have on my computer will not pull up in itunes. I dragged the files, copied the files, and even tried adding the files but nothing works. The songs play on any other program except for itunes. What do I do??

My MBA suddenly shut off and after charging, nothing works except the keyboard lights

My MBA suddenly shut off and after charging, nothing works except the keyboard lights. I charged it and it's been hours and no sound, fan, or power chime happens. It also says it's fully charged.

same or similar have to keep trying to reboot- only happens after charging overnight.

How do you get a cd out of the imac g5 drive if the computer doesn't know it's in there. I've tried shutting it off and holding the mouse button, but nothing works because the computer can't eject what it isn't registering to be there in the first place.

I can't get access to the cd that is probably slid past where it is supposed to go. The computer doesn't note it is in there. This happened once before and I used another cd to tap it into place, and then I could eject the cd. It's a library music cd and nothing I've done to eject it, works. The dvd drive is empty to the computer, even though I've tried to trick it by getting it to burn a cd or dvd. It says insert disc. Hope someone knows how to pop it into place or open the thing up to get access to the drive. That cd is due!

power off your machine. hold down your left mouse button. power on your machine. This should eject the cd.
Eject cd
Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.
http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/01-2003/01-16.ws
You indicate you are running on a g5, but 10.6 doesn't run on on a G5.
On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.
Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:
eject cd
mac-boot

Replaced iMac G5 hard drive - now nothing works except the fan :(

I have an iMac G5 ALS with the original 160 gb internal drive. I researched and printed the apple instructions for replacing the hard drive, copied all of my important files onto an external and then sat down to replace the drive. I followed the instructions step by step, doing well except that the temperature cable connector broke. So I did more research and many posts said that it didn't need to be connected to operate. I closed everything back up and hit the power button. All I got was the power light and fan noises, followed by increased fan speed after a minute or less. I could hear the hard drive spin briefly soon after I hit the power button.
Startup from the install disc you all will tell me. Well, I would if the disc drive would inject the disc.
So, now I've spent my whole afternoon trying different scenarios to troubleshoot. I've gotten nowhere. I tried reattaching the temperature cable wire by wire, no luck (of course there are four of them and they are loose, so which goes where I don't really know. I tried keeping them in the same order in which they leave the other connector). Nothing.
Okay, so if I put the original hard drive back in it must work until I get this figured out...nope. Now that I have the original hard drive replaced into the iMac I get the power light and fan noises, no sound, no screen. Same as with the unformatted new drive.
I was careful to connect everything back and I am really surprised in myself that I cannot make it work. The only thing that is truly different is the temperature cable, and I've read enough that says it should still start up.
Please help me if you have any ideas.
Jonathan
