Status light wont go out

Hi all - I bought a new ATV V3 at the weekend. The white status light will not go out. I can hold in the play button on the remote and the ATV appears to go into sleep mode (Picture goes off), but the Status light remains on. I can select sleep from the menu - same result.
I have another ATV I used to use on the TV with a different HDMI cable and didnt have the issue. Could it be a problem with the HDMI cable ? Any other suggestions gratefully received ?

Greetings Kalebj80, and welcome to Palm Forums
Are you having any other issues with the device? If everything is still working and you can deal with the flickering light I would just ignore it, How wet did the phone get was it submerged in water? If you want the device fixed call in and do a repair/replace 877-426-3777. You could try leaving the phone out no battery in it back cover off to dry out a little more may still be damp still. Unfortunately electric and water don't mix very well.

HT1551 My status light is out, how do I turn it on. There is power to the unit

My apple tv status light has gone out. How is it turned on? There is power to the unit and it was working until we were gone for three weeks and now it appears to be in a standby mode.

Welcome to the Apple Community Audrey.
it should light up when you plug it in.

Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works

Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works. Any ideas?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

Status light goes out and does not return after Apple TV is turned ON

HI, my recently purchased and updated to the newest software Apple TV does not display the status light in front of the unit. For a couple of weeks everything worked fine until last night when I turned the unit back on. Normally soonest you select a HDMI output the status LED comes ON. That did not happen last night. The LED did not light up at all, no mater what I did. After several different attempts; reset, powering down, disconnecting from AC and unplugging HDMI did not help. Then, after I turned my television OFF, few minutes later the light came ON on it's own. What could be causing it. I just replaced this particular unit for failing to remember my Wi-Fi network several days ago. What is going on with the Apple TV's? Thanks for help.

even i am also facing a similar problem. i have macbook air, ipad2, iphone4S and iphone5S and apple tv. i updated my iPhone 5S and ipad2 to ios8 where as iPhone 4s is still running on iOS 7.1.2. i updated my apple tv as well. when i connected apple tv to the same router as other devices, only iPhone 5s shows the option of airplay where as no other device is displaying it. i hv tried all other devices....changed the settings and rebooted and restarted each one of them but nothing doing. that makes me wonder is it a problem with the software update of apple tv as i can successfully connect my iphone5s but not other devices. apple tv was running very successfully till recent past, primarily before all these updates came. i hv successfully mirrored from my macbook air, iPad and iPhone 4s. but now nothing seems to be working. can anyone help me out pls

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 ) }
<Edited by Host>

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!

My ipod 2nd generation won't charge. No status light when conected to computer.

Recently found an ipod shuffle 2nd generation. When I tried to charge it there was no status light on it at all. Thinking it could be beyond use as it hadn't been used for a long time. Any advice welcome.

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with your 2nd gen iPod? It has a mini-dock at the iPod end. The docking cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
If you are using the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement), there are three possibilities. (1) A problem with the computer's USB port not working or supplying sufficient power. (2) A faulty docking cable, even if it's the right cable. (3) A problem on the shuffle.
If you can do some tests to rule out (1) and (2), then it is likely to be (3).

Dead MacBook : nothing on screen , flashing status light (6 times)

Hello
My Dad has a MacBook (early 2006) which worked flawlessly until it did not boot one morning.
Now he has a black screen, nothing when powered up except, if you maintain power pressed, 6 times flashing status light.
- Restoration CD did not do anything because it could not load (CD doesn't eject, has to use the "business card in the slot" trick to eject the disc).
- All resets did not do anything (power button for 5 secondes with no battery or power cord, cmd + option + p + r either)
- Could not run diagnostics
- Apple certified repair center saif motherboard is fried, costs the price of a brand new MacBook to change it.
Do you have any idea about what happened ?
Do you know how to reset something ?
Do you know what those 6 flashes mean ?
I read restoration CD can be used while status is displaying 3 short flahes, 3 long flashes. Does it work on a dead MacBook ?
Thanks a lot in advance everyone !

Sounds like a simple dead motherboard, there's no better explanation than that, I'm afraid. If you didn't get AppleCare, then you're out of luck.

Apple TV 2 Status Light

Can anyone tell me if the status light is supposed to come on every couple of minutes, it stays on for about 5 secs then goes out. I can't find anything in the manual about it, I just wondered if this was normal, any ideas would be welcome.

I have the same issue.
The unit is in sleep mode and I notice that the status light will just come on by itself. I checked to see if anything was being displayed on the screen but it's blank-as if it's still in sleep mode.
Stays on for about five minutes- then off. Communicating with a server?
Curious as to why this is happening.

Status Light

I purchased an ATV 160GB last year 04/14/2008. It's been working flawlessly, and still working great, since I set it up. I just found out that the status light has meanings. The problem is, the LED light is not on. I recall seeing a light when I first had it going, then I never saw it again. Since everything was working great, I thought not having a light on was normal. I think something with the connection to the light went wrong. Should I live with this or get it fixed? Is there someplace else where I can get its status if I really need to know it?

The little white light has faded on some of my tv's (some haven't and some can't even be seen in the dark) when the unit is operating normally. It still seems to manage to work though when it is trying to tell me something. Are you sure your status light is not working at all or could it just be faded during normal operation.

Time Capsule Status light is off

Why is the Time Capsule Status light off even though it is plugged in? The disc is spinning but it is not found in Airport Utility.

You have a Gen4 (look on the base A1409) that has committed ritual suicide..
Leave it unpowered for 12 hours.. then plug in again.. does the LED flash at all at start up.. LEDs on the ethernet ports.. no flash then no recovery.
It is now dead. At least the main router part is. The disk spinning shows it is not a failed power supply.. unfortunately I cannot even offer you a repair method. I did get one that failed that way.. pulled it apart and checked all the power supplies inside.. nothing was bad.. put it back to together and it started working again.. I do not know why but it has been reliable and working ever since. I do not therefore know what was actually the fault.
All I can suggest is the same treatment.. you have to pull it down and actually lift the board out.. ensure all the heat sink sticky tabs are connected and put it back together.. who knows.
You can at least recover what is on the hard disk if you need to, by putting the hard disk in a USB holder and plugging it into your computer.
If it is less than 3years old and you have applecare on a computer, you bought within 2years of the purchasing the TC.. apple may replace it.. check the rules as they are complex and convoluted.

T61P Vista AC power status light off

Despite buying a new brick. And holding power button down for 10 seconds. Ideas? Was getting BSOD, maybe overheat.
Keith

Oh, and the computer is totally dead as well. Power switch problem? Burnt out everything? What part of the system apparently stops power from the brick from getting to the ac power status light?

AppleTV Status Light Off

On my AppleTV 2nd Generation, the status light is always off. This just happened. It seems to function OK, but I would like the light to work for status information. I have unplugged and replugged it. I have also reset it. The light is still out. What can I do?

Could try unplugging it, leave it for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
unresponsive to restore factory setting
Not sure of what you mean by this, are you able to navigate to the screen to try to do a factory restore, or does it not do anything at all. What is displayed on the tv. Could it be the fuse (Do you have fuses in the plugs in the US).
Only other thought is that the remote has got swapped with another or the pairing could have been corrupted. Perhaps a quick look at the manual about pairing and unpairing remotes might be worth a go.

AirPort Utility 6.0 - where are status light options?

The old utility let me change the status light to be solid or flash on activity on my AirPort Extreme.
I'm looking all over the place in the new Utility 6, but either must be blind or they took that functionality out?
Can you guys see it? Anyone?

Recommend that you use AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion for full functionality. This was released at the same time as 6.0 for users who need more features.
You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you need. Maybe the next version of 6.0 will be better.
