Why do we have to keep restore our settings

Our Apple TV seems to keep losing it's settings.   Every other time we use it we have to restore all the settings to use it.

You shouldn't need too.
I'd be tempted to try to restore it fully to shipping state with current software using itunes and a microUSB connection.

  • Why do I have to keep restoring my i-Pod?

    I need someone to tell me why I have to keep restoring my i-Pod. I have had my i-Pod touch the newest generation for a little over 5 months. I had to do this to my 4th generation i-Pod nano last year.

    Email or call the nearest Apple Store and make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If it's software they can fix it and tell you what to do in the future (take notes) if they can't fix it they'll replace it.

  • Why do I have to keep Resetting Network Settings

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone can help. Every time I need to access emails when I'm out this iPhone fails me.  Today, I tried to access an email from a client which consisted of 2 words "That's fine".  The wheel thing spun round, and round, and round, and round....  6 minutes later it displayed "this has not been downloaded from the server".
    I tried in vain to re-load but nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to "reset network settings".
    This then means that my wifi settings at home now need re-inputting, as do the wi-fi settings  at 3 of my other workplaces.
    If I could, I would swap this for a Samsung or something.  It's a constant source of frustration and embarrassment ( when I'm with clients)
    I've had the **** thing replaced at the Apple store and I have phoned my mobile supplier t-mobile/EE ( don't get me started on them...) about 20 times and no-one can make this problem go away. I hate this iPhone.
    Can anyone here help me?
    Many thanks
    Granger

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

    why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?

    Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?
    It's constant.  Maybe three to four times a week.
    ENOUGH already.

    haha nevermind HBOgo. Since we know you are able to activate it then we know the verizon username and password is correct and that HBO recognizes it as legit. Why it keeps asking for it might be a glitch with HBOgo app or their server or it might have to do with the apple TV not saving your login info, so HBO keeps asking for it each time you go there. Kind of hard to nail down since it involves an Apple product, HBO, and Fios TV all working together. Not sure who is to blame at this point. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with Apple TV's. Are you able to access HBO from your verizon set top box?

  • Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

    Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

    Hello jdebie,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

    Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

    Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
    General Requirements
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Supported
    Models
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

  • Why do I have to keep restarting iPad 2 to get emails to download when I am successfully connected to three blips of at home wifi ???

    Why do I have to keep restarting my ipad2 to download my emails even though it is connected to my home wifi perfectly, Internet is working, but the circle just spins constantly and won't update ??? It is very frustrating !!!

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
