Revert to Factory Settings solved connection problems. Any chance for 3.0?

After trying everything else I could think of to resolve my Apple TV connectivity problems, I resorted to a Factory Reset. Presto!, my Apple TV now streams music like it used to, flawlessly. I miss YouTube, the other new features and the interface that comes with the upgrade to Apple TV 3.0, but I'm afraid I'll once again lose my ability to stream music (which is currently the most important use of Apple TV in my house).
Before I attempt reinstalling Apple 3.0 again, I was wondering if anyone else has insight on this. Is there anything different about going directly from Apple TV 1.0 to Apple TV 3.0 that might have been fouled up when going from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0? I wonder if the incremental upgrades left "baggage" that was somehow incompatible with each other.
Any insight or advice is appreciated.

Is there anything different about going directly from Apple TV 1.0 to Apple TV 3.0 that might have been fouled up when going from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0? I wonder if the incremental upgrades left "baggage" that was somehow incompatible with each other.
Yes that's quite possible, it can occur on a mac/pc, so why not the tv. If a file becomes corrupt it may not be able to be overwritten during an update.
I'm quite religious about my maintenance and update procedures, and although there isn't really much maintenance that one can do to the tv, I do update my tv as below:
My routine is:
0. Check for itunes updates and update if available.
1. Perform a sync of your library.
2. Remove ALL cables (for around 30 seconds)
3. Swap HDMI cables for component were possible.
4. Go to itunes prefs and check 'Prevent...from auto syncing'
5. Restart the tv.
6. Download and install the update.
7. Restart itunes.
8. Re-enable autosyncing in itunes.
9. Manually resync your library if autosyncing hasn't already done so.
Whether it helps or not, I have no way of knowing, but I will say I haven't had any issues with any of my 5 tv's.
Of course it may well be a case of something in the updated software that doesn't agree with your current network/security configuration.

  • I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.06 and iTunes couldn't connect. Had to revert to factory settings. Can't install many apps and lost data. What can I do?

    When I selected to update the OS on my iPad 2, it wouldn't connect with iTunes, and I had no choice other than to revert to factory settings, losing all my data, apps etc. Everything. I knew that would happen, but also that everything was backed up on iCloud.
    However, when I thought I had set up my ipad again, I found none of my documents, pdf files, songs, notes, some items on my calendar, and a bunch of other stuff had gone.
    If it's on iCloud, why can't I get it back?
    And has anyone got a brillaint solution?
    I noticed a few others have had the same issue.
    And I need the lost documents for  my work with clients. My next client starts on Monday and some of his material is now lost. I am unable to open it on my iMac, as I have a newer update of Pages on my ipad. So most of these missing documents, while on my imac via icloud, are inaccessible.
    HELP!!!!

    Also my drop box is empty. A much bigger problem...

  • Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me. Does anyone out there have any idea on how to recover my lost emails and/or addresses?

    Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category.  If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
    In that case, you should definitely post your question here
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    where other Snow Leopard users can see your question.  Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

  • AE will not revert to factory settings

    I recently posted a question re purchasing the Airport Extreme. I now have the AE and for the last three days have been trying to successfully set it up. I have tried so many different settings that I am totally confused and tried to revert to factory settings. I unplug the AE and hold in the reset button while replugging in the device. When it restarts the old settings are still showing on Airport Utility.

    Valerie, welcome to the discussion area!
    Try the following:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Leave it off for 10-15 minutes
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding the reset button in while you plug the power back in.+
    +Keep holding the reset button+ until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly
    Hold another 4-5 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button.
    In other words, once you hold in the reset button, do not release it when you plug the power back in, keep holding it until you see the amber light blink quickly for 4-5 seconds. Then release the reset button.

  • Need to revert to Factory Settings without disk.

    Hi,
    I have a friend (isn't that how they all start?) who has a new macbook pro and needs to reset to factory settings as she wants rid of the user IDs and names on the accounts. She has Snow Leopard but no disks (none were in her box).
    How would I be able to revert to factory settings so she could access the computer as if it was new, without disks. Is there anywhere I can download such software?
    Thank you
    Jo
    p.s. I would use my macbook pro and try to burn off a reset disk but I'm using Lion and thought this would cause even more issues. Thanks.

    "She has Snow Leopard but no disks (none were in her box)."
    Not probable. She either misplaced or lost the disks. She should get a replacement set by calling AppleCare. Then she can do what she intends and provide the disks to the new owner (which she is required to do). She can't use your disks.

  • I have the iPhone 4, recently installed ios6 now my phone constantly turns itself off, keeps freezing and then 2 or 3 times in the space of 24hrs it has to be restored to factory settings. This has gone on for over a week.

    If all basic troubleshooting has been tried and a restore as new does not resolve, take it to Apple for evalation and possible replacement.

  • RAZR M reset itself automatically for no apparent reason. Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

    Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

        MeAndCoke,
    So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

  • Any chance for hebrew suppor

    Any chance for hebrew support by your MP3 players in the future ?
    I mean the ability of the player to display hebrew ID3tags...
    Thanks.

    I am stuck with moving objects/tables/spry around the page.
    Sorry but DW is not a drag & drop application like Photoshop.   Owing to all the different browsers and web devices these days, there is no such thing as perfect WYSIWYG in Design View.   Use Split View with Live View.  That way you can see a valid representation of your page in one panel while you edit code in the other.
    Being able to work with code is essential.  There's no way around it, especially for a project this advanced.
    I am also ''fighting'' to connect dreamweaver database to WAMP in order to make the login form work .
    Is Wamp server online?  
    Did you start all services?
    By any chance, do you have Skype installed on your computer?  
    Skype reserves port 80 for its incoming connection which conflicts with WAMP, so simply configure Skype to use another port:
    Open Skype, go to Tools|Options|Advanced|Connection uncheck the option --> Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections, that's it. 
    Close Skype.  Restart Skype and Restart all services on WAMP by doing the following:
    Left-click WAMP tray icon > Restart All Services"
    Now Wamp and Skype can co-exist without conflict.

  • Any chance for the "away" and "busy" statuses to make it back into Skype for Android?

    I recently realized that the new (well new as of early July) Skype for Android is missing the "away" and "busy" statuses (and perhaps some other one as well). I've seen other users around this forum mentioning the same thing, but it's unclear to me whether this was done intentionally or not. Are there any chances for these statuses to be added back? And if not what has been reasoning behind the decision of taking them out? - Adriano

    There is another topic, addressing this issue and also explaining it pretty good:http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Regression-in-4-0-Away-and-Busy-statuses-not-visible/td-p/1729768Unfortunately it doesn’t have much kudos either, even though it is pretty old. The worst about it is, that you aren’t even able to see the real status of your contacts:                Contacts who have their status set to “away” are shown as online.                Contacts who have it set to “busy” are shown as offline.

  • IPod touch reverts to factory settings after every update.

    I bought my iPod touch in March, and have never had any problems. Then about two months ago, it wiped itself after a software update (through iTunes) and reverted back to original factory settings (turn it on, get starter screen telling you to connect iPod, everything is gone, etc). I figured it was a one-time glitch and put everything back on it. However, it has happened three times now, and every time, it happens right after an update. I back it up every time I plug it into my computer, but now, it won't back up, and it won't restore from a backup. It just gives me error messages, or the only available option is system restore (factory reset). I'm getting really frustrated with it, because I have to set up every single thing over and over again.
    Should I just try to send it in to replace/fix it, since I still have the one-year warranty? Or is there a way to fix this myself?

    This doesn't solve the fact that your iPod goes back to factory settings, but have you tried Backing it up onto iCloud? Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > (takes a few seconds to appear) Backup. You do have to be connected to internet to do this. All you have to do is to remember to do this before you update.

  • Reverting to factory settings

    My iphone has stopped connecting to my wireless router, airport extreme.  It happened a couple of days ago.  It sees the router and shows it in settigns.  My wireless printer shows it getsa  signal, but will not print.  My wifes phone works fine as does the ipad. I can connect to other wireless systems outside the home.  If I revert the router to original factory settings what is the downside?

    If I revert the router to original factory settings what is the downside?
    Downside.....you will have to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again. Suggest that you change the name of the wireless network and password if you decide to do this.  No guarantees that this will solve the problem.
    Upside....setting up a new wireless network and password might allow all devices to connect.

  • My G5 reverted to factory settings on its own!

    In the middle of a typical day Mail got locked up... I quit it, then quit all other apps and restarted. Now my G5 restored itself to the original factory settings and my mail is nowhere to be found, it wants me to set up all my mail accounts again. All of my other applications are still installed, but none have a memory that they were ever used by my machine (Fetch which has also lost all of my shortcut settings), browsers (favorites are gone), Mail (completely empty), iTunes (completely emptied out 3,000 songs), address book (now empty), and software that I puirchased online and activated with an activation key now wants me to re-enter my activation key.
    Is this a KEYCHAIN issue, or a hard drive problem? Please help!
    thanks

    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Dual 1.8GHz

    GigSalad:
    It is bit late to ask, but do you have a backup of at least your data?
    Have you done a simple Find File (Command + F while in Finder) and searched for any of the missing files?
    Another option is to download and run What Size. It will scan your HDD and list everything by size. You can then examine the results searching for anything familiar or unfamiliar. Look especially in any Folders with names like Lost and Found, Recovered items, etc.
    Good luck.

  • Applications reverting to factory settings?

    I was recently using my PowerBook G4 when, the next time I turned it on, I found that a majority of my applications -- including Mail, iTunes, and Safari -- seemed to have reverted back to factory settings. More specifically, Mail prompted me to create a new user account; iTunes erased my entire music library, including my custom playlists (and continued to do so after I repeatedly reloaded my files and playlists); and Safari erased all of my bookmarks.
    The stranger thing about all this is: all my music files were still there -- they weren't erased at all. And yet, all of the widgets I had on my Dock, and many other applications seemed to have been "restarted"?
    Other than this, my computer is acting fine again... But I don't know why or how this happened, and I'd like to know for future reference/prevention.
    I also already searched around these forums and the closest topic I could find was this thread -- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=414089&tstart=45 -- but I never renamed my home folder, as that thread discusses.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try repairing permissions with Applications > Utilities ->
    Disk Utility.
    If you are sure your music is still in your Music folder, then it is possible, that Spotlight may need to be force reindexed by adding your hard drive to your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy, restarting your Mac, and then removing it from there again, and restarting again. Let the Spotlight index reindex itself, and when done then try to reopen your applications.
