Why do I always have to reboot my apple tv 2 to get it to work?

Every time I turn my apple tv back on I have to reboot it. If I don't, the only options I see are Internet Computers and Settings. Once I reboot it I get the full options. This is really annoying and makes no sense. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sounds like you are losing connection to the internet to me, this could be your network settings or interference if you use wifi.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Why do i always have to sign into apple support communities

    cant it just keep me signed in all the time?  i have the username password stored, but everytime i visit i still have to sign in by clicking.

    I have a solution that is guaranteed to work - and I'm using it right now.
    1Password is a password manager plus that automatically saves all of your sensitive logins and passwords. I use it for forums like this, banking, and other accounts - online and other. The way it works is like this: when you go to a site that requires a password, 1Password will iniitially ask for your Apple password; after this, your passwords can be entered by going to a relevant site, clicking the 1Password icon, and pressing Enter. It saves a ton of time.
    If you've slept your machine, it will ask for your login again. But security with 1Password is very good, and it will work with Safari and Firefox.
    If this is helpful, poat here with your remarks!

  • Why do I always have to argue with BT?

    Since an engineer visited me on Monday, my noise ration has been gradually creeping up, and my sync speed gradually falling.
    Obviously they are both related.
    So, I email the MODS and asked for them to lower my noise ratio to 3 up, 3 down, as it has been for years... infact it has been as low as 2, an I have had a perfectly stable connection.
    The MODS reply?
    The optimum noise margin is 6 dB, typically anything lower than that can cause stability and anything higher than that indicates a noise or instability problem (though a noise margin of 9 dB is still acceptable).
    Whilst the sync speed may be somewhat lower than what it was in the past, it is normal for speeds to fluctuate and there's nothing there indicating your speed has decreased due to a fault as your noise margin is good and you have a low number of error seconds and no drop-outs over the last three + days.
    I would advise though to keep an eye out for any deterioration in service (i.e. stability/drop-outs) as if the problem returns we can see about getting that checke out further.
    I know all of that, Im not stupid!
    I also know that a sync speed dropping from 18meg to 14meg is not usual fluctuations in speed, because I know my service, I've had it for 10 years!!!!
    Im going to post stats from my previous supplier, then from BT.

    Why do I always have to enter password-WI-FI?
    It's possible the Wi-Fi is configured to work this way.  The Wi-Fi in my office requires users to log in every time they connect.
    Do other devices on the Wi-Fi network have the same issue?  If so, it's a setting in the Wi-Fi router.

  • Why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message ?

    Hi all FCE experts,
    May I ask why do I always have "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message when I tried to overwrite or replace a clip ?
    Ok,this is what happen:
    I have a clip A (4 secs) followed by clip B (4 secs). Then in between I add a video transition.
    After a while, I reckon I want to change clip B with another clip (say clip C). So, I went to brower & search for clip C which is 2 mins long clip. To make sure there are enough handles, I went to the centre mark an In point then 4 sec later mark an Out point. So I drag this clips C of 4 secs from the Viewer (I marked the In & Out point in the viewer) to the Overlay canvas & do an Overwrite but it says "Insufficent Content for Edit".
    I then tried Replace also got the "Insufficent Content for Edit" error message.
    I then tried to delete the video transition and repeat the above for overwrite and replace, both times I got the same error.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    From your description there is no way either of these things should happen. Without seeing it I would guess there is something else going in your timeline or your clip which you're not telling us. *Perhaps there are I/O pints marked in the timeline*. Or the destination tracks are not set correctly. or something else.
    Thanks Tom, you are correct.
    I have In Point & Out Point marked on the Timeline. I used it when I did FILE > EXPORT and left it there. But once I cleared it, I am able to replace it with another clip.
    But I am still puzzled as to why I cannot do any overwrite or replace when there is I/O points marked on the Timeline ? Especially when the section of clips I wanted to overwrite or replaced are located outside of the I/O points ?
    Thanks

  • Always have to re-boot Apple TV to use Airplay

    Apple TV drops off the network, so I always have to reboot to use Airplay

    That usually points to network interference. Use istumbler or netstumbler to verify.

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

    have you tried to update the firmware of the router
    and maybe making sure all updates for the computer and itunes were installed on the computer
    and that the computers firewall is not blocking it

  • Why do I always have a badge on Messages app?

    I just recently updated my phone to iOS 7 and then restored my phone from the backup. As soon as the backup was restored, I had a notification badge on my messages app telling me that I had an unread message, however when I open the app, I have no unread messages. When I open Messages on my MacBook, I also have no unread messages. When I do get a message, the badges stack (so for one unread message, the badge will say "2" even though there's only one). Here's what I tried:
    1. Opening and closing all conversations on both my iPhone 5 and MacBook (my only two Apple devices using my iMessage account)
    2. Rebooting my phone
    3. Hard resetting the messages app, and closing it from the multitask switcher
    4. Signing out and deactivating my iMessage account on my MacBook
    5. Signing out and signing back into iMessage on my phone
    I'm not sure what else to try besides deleting all my conversations or just restoring and starting from scratch, and I don't want to either of those things. I know this was happening in beta, but I feel like that problem would have been addressed by now. What else is there that I can do that might make the incorrect badge go away?

    Hi jstoneshelton,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your update to Yosemite. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. From what you have said, it sounds like it may be an issue either saving or accessing saved passwords, possibly involving Keychain, or an issue with Autofill in Safari. You may find the following articles helpful in clarifying the possible issues (the second is aimed at Safari under Mavericks, but should still apply to Yosemite):
