When I plug in apple tv the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen

When I plug in my apple tv (first gen) the status light just blinks amber and nothing appears on the screen.  The status light never turns white and won't stops blinking amber.  I've tried to over ride this with the remote, resetting it and trying to revert it to the factory settings.  Is there a way to wake it up or is it a lost cause?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The system looks like it's unable to start up, this could be software but more likely hardware, either way unless it will start up there is nothing a user can do to resolve this.

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • When i plug in my ipod classic it pops up ipod corrupted and i should restore the ipod but when i try it pops up unknown error 1415

    when i plug in my ipod classic it pops up ipod corrupted and i should restore the ipod but when i try it pops up unknown error 1415?

    My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
    Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
    Stop all other programs except iTunes.
    Good Luck!

  • Signature status for just submitting signature and yet to validate the email

    Hi,
    I need to get a specific signature status for just submitting signature and yet to validate the email. I need to restrict the user to submit my web form with out signing in the widget. So here, while submitting the form, Im fetching the signature status via ajax though API and based on the status the web form is restricted to submit.
    But using API, I could only able to get the complete signature status(submitting signature and validating email). Is it possible to get the status of only submission and yet to validate email ?
    Thank you,

    Hi Asmusz,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I created the widget with API createEmbeddedWidget and got documentKey in return from the result. Here is the result when I tried to get the status of the document from getDocumentInfo by passing documentKey:

    and the result is the same even If the document is signed in the widget and waiting for email validation. Not sure if im in a right path to get 'WAITING_FOR_VERIFICATION' status. Please clarify.

    after finish installing an update, the the status light keeps blinking and a picture of the connection between the micro USB and iTunes shows up - what is this about?

    The update failed - using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • HT2497 I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable.  The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning

    I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable.  The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great.  The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks.  How do I remedy this, please?

    What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
    Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
    Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
    No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
    No luck I can show you manual method.

  • HT1551 just updated my apple TV and whit light is flashing continuously and nothing is on the screen anymore.

    Can anyone help with this please?
    Just updated the Apple TV and the white light is now flashing quickly and nothing is on the screen.  Can't access it with the remote from the Ipad.

    Same problem here.  Long time Apple fan, own lots of their products... Greatly disappointed.
    Bought a brand new Apple TV, worked fine for 3 days but then the picture went blank (possibly after an auto update?) and I observed a quickly flashing white light on the Apple TV.  Manual indicates this means it is "having problems" (no kidding) and recommends restoring the software via a micro-USB cable (cable not provided).
    Acquired a cable and attempted this fix but after following the procedure the Apple TV never showed up in iTunes, so I'm unable to perform the restore.  Returning the device today, not sure if we want to get another or just give up and save the $100.

  • HT3235 MacBook Air is connected to an external monitor via Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.  At one time it worked just fine, now when I plug the monitor into the Mac, the mac screen goes blue and nothing appears on the monitor.

    This monitor works, on a PC.  Could the connector be bad or the port on the Mac Air?  Any ideas?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to use the MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    If you can’t see your MacBook screen because it’s broken or the backlight is off use the F7 key to switch between Extended Desktop and Mirror Display.
    (From the MacBook User Guide: F7 (video mode toggle key) Switch between dual-display mode (extending the desktop across the built-in display and an external display) and video-mirroring mode (presenting the same information on both displays).

    Hello, vizords.
    Thank you for the question.  You will need to enable the menu bar in iTunes 11 so you can access the store menu which will allow you to authorize the computer.  Here are the steps on how to process this.

  • When we try to play a show on Netflix or even Crackle the little wheel just keeps turning and nothing happens??

    Hwy does the little wheel just keep turning when we try to play a show on Netflix or even Crackle? Brand ne Apple TV

    Youtube content is highly compressed. The network test on the device is not going to account for issues. If modem/router is at a great distance from ATV then that is going to leave room for issues like interference. Other devices working doesn't rule out a network issue
    You can see the status of your network by getting a report at istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength, noise, nearby networks
