Pixilation and White Spots and some times lines

Something is up with my AppleTV. during menu selection AND watching shows/movies random "specs" or pixilation in random places are showing up. I tried to swap out the HDMI, restore and made sure the media looks fine on my computer. All seems fine. Is there a way to "clean" the AppleTV harddrive some how? What else could it be? My tv is fine too (have a place station I've swapped the HDMI and TV ports, and this only happens with the AppleTV)
thanks

I think I am having the same problem. I took a picture of what the problem is for me... this picture is pretty much what I typically see, but note that the dots are showing everywhere on the screen; I am only showing a section:

I've plugged the AppleTV into a different TV, and the same problem appears. I've also swapped cables (tried two component cables, and it's current on HDMI), and the problem is still there, so the AppleTV is definitely the culprit.
I believe it has to do with overheating, or at least, overheating at some point. The AppleTV is by itself on a shelf (nothing below, and about 12" clear above it too), so it should NOT have happened, but I unplugged the device for a whole day, and plugged it back in the next day -- no dots. Then they slowly starter reappearing as the device was heating back up. It looks to me like the graphics system is toast and I am guessing the problem will only get worse.
I've had the AppleTV since a few weeks after its initial launch, but it's been doing this for a couple of months now. It's very annoying, especially for something that is supposed to make HDTVs look stunning...
Is that the problem other posts are seeing here? Anyone was able to get it fixed somehow?

  • Iphone keeps flickn white and some times stays on white screen

    iphone keeps flickn white and some times stays on white screen

    buldogg77, nbuubu and bwible.
    I decided to return the iPHone 6. I have not had good experience with Apple products. I purchased three recently, which all had major issues (purchased within weeks of the iPhone 6). I had a 5s, which was going into low-signal mode and burning out the battery before mid-day. I had a Mac-Mini that kept dropping the wifi signal and had issue reconnecting when waking from sleep (this became nearly useless for anything online) and a iPhone 5c that could not be activated (a complete brick). The 5c was the last purchase (on-top of the Mac-Mini) that made me give up. I was not going to exchange four products that cost around $2k.
    I ended up ordering the Moto X second Gen. It has an amoled display and amoleds typically don't have uniformity and hot pixel issues. Also, I got accidental coverage, accessories and 32GB of memory for less than I did for the purchase of the iPhone 6 16GB (about $600 after $50 student rebate). I also found Siri was not as good as Google's voice services (or directions for that matter) and the OS was not as intuitive with multitasking IMO.
    I am a fan of Apple products overall and it's unfortunate Foxconn is doing them a disservice. Hopefully you all get your issues worked out. I'm baffled at how Apple products tend to get the best reviews on screen quality. Before a review should be given on accuracy, how about back-light uniformity? That is just as important for the overall user experience IMO.

  • Firefox stops responding and some times dose not start when clicked on alot!

    fire fox 9 stops responding for long periods and some times dose not load when clicked on. Also please note fire fox refuses to load the comments section on Yahoo.com under the news tab. The little wheel on the bottom of the page just spins and spins and never loads this area of the page.
    I think i know why but wonder since i have had issues with fire fox in the past with the whole not responding and load issues.

    Firefox which stops responding after some time is a BIG problem. You're not the only one. The problem seems to be with sites which require Java. The problems I seem to have spotted is this : You visit a web site which needs Java so Java asks Firefox for the amount of memory needed and this is lent to JAVA. However, when you leave that web site, Java is naughty in that it doesn't give back the memory borrowd. Firefox then has to consume a lot of memory to the point that the whole computer system grinds to a halt as you have run out of memory.
    Search in the forums for high memory or RAM and you will see many threads. In fact, when you first install Firefox it will ask if you want to send anonymous data about the memory usage!!

  • SAP BW - learning path and Estimated time line.

    Hi,
    I am working with Business Objects for few years. I am interested in learn SAP BW and start my career in SAP BW with Business Objects. I would appreciate if you could please let me know the learning path and approximate time line.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike:
    I see your concern.
    BO is primarily a front end tool and it is simple to learn. So new developers can pick it up easily and start delivering business needs quickly.
    In fact I believe front end tools these days are so user friendly that even Business Users can learn fast and adapt and get really good at it.
    I think learning and understanding the back end data warehousing tools with specialized skills in Data Modeling and ETL will be extra added value to employers in today's market. Plus Interpersonal skills and interfacing with business users is not a function that can be easily outsourced.
    If you already have expertise in Bus Intelligence, I would recommend staying in BI and learning the back end tools. Learning Other SAP modules should supplement your BI skills and not to replace your BI focus.
    BI as an Industry is still evolving and growing. Plenty of room to grow. BI can deliver business critical decision support.
    Knowledge of Business Intelligence functions (Functional knowledge) will come in especially handy for employers when designing back end (data modeling) and suggesting the right course of action for designing back end. Your existing front end knowledge will be a great help for data modeling recommendations.
    I am actually pursuing a second MS in ERP at http://dce.mst.edu/. I take classes on line since i live 100 miles from the university. I sometimes am busy at work and cannot attend live classes. So i listen to the recordings after work hours and do my assignments and tests and exams after hours as well.
    The best thing about being in school, is i switch to learning mode and set aside my past experience and become a student willing to learn from the professor and the other students.

    I personally see a need in the Industry for highly engineered BI Solutions. Quiet a few SAP Clients today have experienced not so well engineered BI solutions from less skilled BI resources leading to poor performance and poor user adoption.
    Thats why i feel there is a great need for qualified BI resources to deliver optimal BI solutions and drive greater user adoption. The more users adopting SAP BI and BOBJ, the better opportunities for all of us.
    Concerning your comment about ABAP - I know minimal ABAP learned on the job as a BW developer / analyst. I tend to find solutions through data modeling as opposed to using ABAP. SAP BW has standardized many many common reporting functions and on occasions i write some ABAP lookups. But during the initial stages of my career as a BW Analyst i used to have the ABAP team write any code i needed.
    I even developed an ABAP report in ECC by providing the ABAP team with a detailed flow diagram of the logic. But lately i have learned to write some ABAP code myself. 
    Good Luck.

  • When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

    When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

    Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

    I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

    if there is a compatability between the app and newer versions of the ios then likely the developer if he/she knows about it will release an update fixing the issue
    but of cause the developer has to know about it so maybe you should inform the developer about the issue and wait for a fix
