Why does apple tv2 keep boot looping

My AppleTV2 has been jailbroken and working fine since Christmas!
It boots up and displays the menu with NitoTV highlit but you cannot select anything. After a few seconds in goes black then comes up with the same screen again.
Any ideas how to fix without reinstalling everything again, again!

  • Why does Apple TV keep losing connection to home library?

    My Apple TV keeps stopping every 4-5 minutes when playing my iTunes library from my shared home computer.  I have to keep refreshing iTunes from my computer to have Apple TV find my library again.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  I've checked firewall settings and the computer is not on standby...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Why does apple mail keep running on my system, i never use it

    My macbook pro runs Lion, the latest version.
    For some reason, apple mail program starts up, and it is a program I have never used, nor do I plan to.
    I made a trip into the store and they did a quit, but of course, that doesn't solve the problem.   No real
    answer for why its starting, who/what starts it, and how to prevent it.
    Each time its running I have to click 2-3 dialogue boxes before it will let me quit, and it prevents the machine
    from going to sleep if its running and I'm not aware of it.
    Apple told me they were using the mail program to synch between the iphone and the machine.   Although I did
    install cloud, I do not use it.  My machine has so many problems, ever since I bought it, and I have had so many
    trips to the apple store, without real explanations or solutions.   What has happened to the great produce we
    knew and loved?    Complexity and the post-modern era are upon us.
    I have logged 71 hours of tech support time on the iphone, so I no longer work on trying to solve that problem.
    I actually work for a living and have no time for this.   The sad thing is I am in a position to recommend products
    for my employer and some major new budgets in the health sector.  I loved my mac for years and years.. always
    buying a mac, making arguments for macs when all around me had pc's, etc.    Now I am starting to doubt the mac.
    I hope that by participating in the mac community there will be some simple answers, and I don't have to spend HOURS
    of frustration for things that should not be a problem in the first place.    We bought apple one-one, but the website never
    works, and although they told me to call to make the appointment, it is just the general number and there is 45 minutes
    of scratchy music with someone who does not know how to make one-one appointments.... 
    Sorry to ***** and moan here....       I'm sure I'm not the only one having these frustrations.

    etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
    I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
    So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
    Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
    I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

    I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
    For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

  • Two issues: screen flickering on long shots in HD and why does Apple TV2 suddenly loses content from my iTunes library at random times

    Hi.
    I'm genearlly happy with the idea of my Apple TV 2, but I've got two problems with it that keep popping up and I have no idea how to fix them:
    1- Watching HD video causes the image to flicker on long shots.  My TV is a 40" Sharp Aquos from 2010.  SD content seems fine.  Tried several HDMI cables and no dice.
    2- At random times, the Apple TV 2 will lose all the information from my itunes libraries.  It'll still connect but give me the message "There are no items" or something similar.  My current workaround is to disconnect from home sharing, then reconnect and enter my username and password with the Apple remote (remote app on iPhone no longer works at this stage) which is a pain, because my PW is complicated.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    There may be a couple of reasons for this. It may simply be poor encoding. Alternatively stuttering can become quite noticeable on panned shots when the the framerate of the video does not match the TV output frequency.

  • Why does apple tv play my photos randomly in screen saver mode when random is not selected

  • Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
    1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
    When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
    2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
    3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
    4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
    I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life...

    Why does my ipod keep saying 'your apple ID has been disabled when i try to get a free app???

    If you rest it on your computer's iTunes then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos

    why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

  • Why does my trackpad keep losing connection

    why does my trackpad keep losing connection

    I am using Mountain Lion on a 2011 Macbook Pro and this is happening to me.
    The notebook never used to drop the connection on Snow Leopard or Lion as far as I can remember.  At first it was fine on Mountain Lion as well I think, but after the last couple updates the connection to the trackpad is gone when it wakes from sleep.  Dropping down to Bluetooth and choosing connect does not help.  It must be deleted and repaired each time under sytem preferences and bluetooth settings.  Batteries are fine, Apple rechargables, lights up green when tap button.  I also have an Apple keyboard used for this notebook and that never loses connection.  Just the trackpad, and only after the most recent updates the past month or so.  It pairs fine at first, then the connection is gone and I can't get it back without very inconvenient deleting and repairing.
    I seem to remember it happening shortly after a long update.  I am currently on 10.8.2.
