I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version. Any fix

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version

BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Gen 6 has gone completely white. It had started going white the day before. I tried resetting it but to no avail. Does anyone know how I could fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that I am no longer able to sync. It comes up with a message (best I can remember) something to the effect that my itunes version is not compatible with my ipod. Please help. I'm tired of buying new ipods when the new hasn't even worn off of them!!!
Thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

N95 Screen White - But can hear the phone still wo...

Hi I did search and couldn't find anyone else with this sort of problem. I don;t think its the white screen of death as I can hear the phone turning on and making the noises it normally makes.
A couple of weeks ago my screen went blank gradually. For a couple of days if I held it in the right place I could see the display, but eventually it all died.
I ordered a new LCD from a company on amazon and fitted it. The screen lights up, but nothing comes on and as I said before I can hear the welcome nokia jingle and the beeps it does when it turns on. I contacted the company I bought the LCD from and they said maybe it was a faulty lead that connect the LCD, so I sent it back and the sent a replacement, but that does the same thing.
Anyone any idea's on what else it could be, as it seems unlikely that 2 new LCD's cable are faulty?!
Thanks

Ipad Screen Black but can still hear locking sounds etc.

i just got my ipad today,and i was playing a game then right in the middle of it the screen goes black but looks like its shut down ive tried everything to get it to come on an nothing. i dont know if the screen has went out or what. any suggestions on how to fix this problem? and i purchased it somewhere they don't take returns. so please someone help.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

I have a bright white screen on my Gen 4 ipod nano. I can still see text if I look hard enough, and it still plays music and stuff, but it's really hard to see.

As described above, my screen is bright white, but it still plays music. It's really hard to see, and I've tried everything. I manually restarted it like 20 times, I updated software and reset it, and I've just waited. It's happened once before, but after I waited 20 minutes it worked, and that was 6 months ago. But this time, it seems to just stay with a white screen.
If anybody knows what to do to solve this, and what caused this, please answer.

Water damage is not covered, and I guess Apple tech will find out about it as soon as they open the device.

IPod nano (5th Generation) Black Screen but still plays Music

Problem:
I see a black screen and no backlit normal screen - there's a faint Apple Logo when the device is turned on.
I can navigate the scroll wheel and hear the audible "clicks" when circling the scroll wheel.
I can push play and it will play music just fine. FF, Rewind, Menu, Play/pause all work correctly.
Tried the following:
Menu + Select + held down for 5-10 seconds. faint apple logo dissapppears then I push Play and it re-appears. Still plays music just fine but screen still black with faint apple logo and no back light.
Restore Factory Settings via iTunes. It erased all media. put a song on there to test. can play song but same issue (no back light OS, just black + faint apple logo on the display)
Tried Rewind + select to enter diagnostics - nothing happens, same issue
Please help.

The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

Ipod screen and controls freeze for 1 min but it still plays

Hello, any and all help is appreciated.
Listening to music, my ipod's screen and controls will freeze for about a minute, but the ipod still plays music when this happens. It happens every 5 minutes or so. Pretty weird. If I turn on the backlight and it freezes, the backlight will stay on for 1 minute until the thing unfreezes and it kills battery time.
Also, it will remember any buttons that I press while it is in freeze mode and when it unfreezes, it will perform those functions. (i.e. if i'm listening to a song and the screen and controls freeze, it will continue to play that song. if i use the click wheel to change the volume, it won't work, but as soon as it unfreezes, the ipod will remember my actions and lower the volume eventhough i tried to adjust it 30 seconds ago. make sense?)
Has this happened to anybody else? Is there anything I can do?

Hey shahbazfromgbr,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
9. Restart the iPhone.
10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks,
Matt M.
