Turn off status light in apple tv 3rd generation

is there a command that allows you to turn off the led status light on the apple tv 3rd gen
WITHOUT HAVING TO NAVIGATE TO HOME SCREEN>SETTINGS>SLEEP NOW.
it is in the bedroom and the led is bright and only goes out after a long long time.

with a button press, not having to navigate when you are falling asleep.

HT4293 I have an Apple monitor model A1316 is using for Windows computer, but I could not adjust the brightness. The monitor is not bright enough when I turned off the lights in my room.

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

Turn off the light?

Hi,
I would like to completely disable the green light during normal operation of the unit. Is that possible? The Airport utility seems to only allow me to switch between blinking (activity) and a steady light.

This is the first thread my search turned up after wanting to see if my light could be turned off.
LOL.
I hope Paklonder's dark response is tongue-in-cheek, because I'm going to be searching out opaque tape with adhesive that makes it removable, but doesn't get all slimy from the warmth of the light.
Edit:
Changing Airport Utility/Base Station/Options/Status Light to Flash on Activity, and turning it 90º goes a long way.
I just spent time searching through my other AV device menu trees and was my success with finding a way to turn off those lights was denied. I forgot to even look first with the Airpoirt.
The Feedback page is a good place to drop a suggestion for features.

All right. I have one for Art Bell:
I found the Airport Feedback page I pasted above with the keyword search "feedback and airport." When I just went to leave my feedback the subject line for my feedback auto-filled with "Re: Turn off the light?" I'm not sure, but I bet that was my keyword search that got me to this thread. I think someone at Apple just did something really cool with that little trick.

Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.

Try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at tyne same time
- release both buttons when apple logo appears
Does the issue occur when plugged into charge?
If issue remains try a restore in recovery mode:

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.

Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
"If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck!

I have purchased an Apple TV 3rd generation and successfully installed it. I have enjoyed using this device. However, I don't see other devices other than iTunes on one of my Computers

I bought the Apple TV as I have an iPAD 1st Generation, thinking I could pipe my iPAD to the TV. After messing around with it, and searching on-line, I find that I need an iPAD 2nd Generation as there is no app for mirroring for the 1st Generation.
My other issue is; dDoes the Apple TV 3rd Generation allow access to other computers? I have a Media Storage device but the Apple TV does not "see" it, only one of my computers that has iTunes on it...I have almost all my media in Apple formats, but cannot access the device. It only allows me to see the iTunes app on one of my computers...why can't I connect to other computers on my network with this device?

1, you can't mirror on the iPad 1 per se. However, some (not many!) apps do support explicit mirroring of the app's content. Note that the fact that an app supports TV out via the wired(!) HDMI / VGA doesn't necessarily mean it'll also work over the wireless AirPlay. (An example of them is ArtStudio for iPad. See the dedicated discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18841572?ac_cid=ha123456#18841572 )
2, the ATV can only access iTunes Home Sharing. No UPnP (see e.g. http://forum.maccast.com/index.php?/topic/18215-does-appletv-work-withe-upnp-med ia-servers/ ), no Samba, no AFP, no nothing. This is why you only see the desktop iTunes' shared videos.

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

No "AirPlay" in Apple TV 3rd Generation menu

I have an Apple TV 3rd Generation (Model A1469) and I am trying to set a password for my airplay so that I don't have random people in my vicinity connecting to my TV. I know that there should be a setting available if you go to Settings>AirPlay, but I don't have that option in my menu! I have already checked for software updates and I have restarted the Apple TV as well and the option is still missing. Any suggestions?

Hi DBTechnology,
To make sure we are on the same page, when you go on your Apple TV and go to Settings > AirPlay > Security you are not seeing an option for a password or onscreen code. If you are not, then you may need to restore your Apple TV. Take a look at the articles below for more information on how to set up the password or onscreen code as well as restoring your Apple TV.

Unsuccessful Apple TV (3rd generation) SW update

Hi
I already bought an apple TV (3rd generation),after connected it I checked it's current SW version and founded it's running an older IOS version 6.1.1
and when i an the update process over wireless, it downloaded the latest SW but it failed to complete the update process
I ran the above process more than 7 times and always I was getting the same failures
can anyone help in this ?
Note: I've also tried to restore it (wireless connection) and the same failure message appeared too

You can connect it to a computer with iTunes on it (You need a micro-USB cable for that). Then you can restore/update the firmware through iTunes.

HT1600 Apple TV (3rd generation) cannot update

Recently, my Apple TV (3rd generation) showed that I can update it.
But while updating, it showed, "update was not successful". I have tried restart and restore it, but it did not work as well
Do you guys have any ideas about how can I fix it ?

I´ve got the same problem, tried several times to update my ATV3 to 5.1.1 but the installation process stops always at 95% of the 1st (out of 2) step displaying the message "update was not successful, try to restart ATV and then update again".
I did so 5-6 times including latest time after disconnecting my ethernet cable and using wifi connection instead (as "pinette" suggested) but with no success.
I´m a bit surprised of this malfunctioning behavior of an Apple application update process as these usually are smooth, trustful and successful.
Can anyone please help me in giving a hint how to solve this issue? I´ve updated both ATV 2nd gen and ATV 3rd gen several times earlier with no problem whatsoever. My computer is a Mac Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (can´t run Mountain Lion OS 10.8 on this MacPro) and latest iTunes 11 (which runs without problem on the constellation MacPro/MacOS X 10.7.5). Do I maybe need a Mac computer running Mountain Lion on my home network for being able to update Apple TV 3rd gen to it´s latest software 5.1.1?
If there is no forum member/guest having an answer to this question maybe some representative of Apple support can help me? Is there a working solution or stands this update problem for an application bug?
Best regards,
Stefan

Apple TV (3rd Generation Retail Demo Mode

Hey guys!
I'm kinda stuck here. I've been trying to activate the retail demo mode on Apple TV (3rd Generation) using the Right, Right, Left, Center button combination for our store demo model. That part worked, but from what i've read, there is supposed to be a retail demo reel that plays and I cannot get that part to work. It shows up in the screensaver section but when it activates, it starts up the normal floating photos from National Geographic. Does anyone know?! Please help
Baz

Not at all unfortunately. Must only be available for Official Apple Stores. Kept trying all the time, to no avail. Never mind

Apple TV 3rd generation

Hi
I have a question regarding Apple TV 3rd generation. Is there any information about the things of which the new product will be built? For example what kind of audio chip will be inside etc.
I'm sorry for the level of my language but I'm not a native speaker.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here.

Apple TV 3rd generation tv compatibility

Is it possible to make Apple TV 3rd generation work for a tv which only supports 480i/p or 576i/p resolution?

Yes, the Apple TV can output at a number of resolutions, including 480p and 576p, however the TV needs to support them for them to show up as options on the Apple TV.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to recreate the issue of the Apple TV not displaying on a TV and therefore haven't been able to test solutions, so the suggestion to set it up elsewhere is more of a try it and see.
