Hi,
About a half hour ago, I turned on my AppleTV (1st Gen.) using the iPhone app.
I scrolled up but the cursor on the screen moved down one space and stopped working.
The AppleTV remote won't work either.
I have it a few minutes but it hasn't worked, so I unplugged the device.
The remotes still aren't working and the AppleTV has restarted by itself twice.
Can anyone help?
I can't find anything on google.
Cheers
Hello again,
The remotes are working again - for no reason whatsoever - I haven't done anything.
If anyone knows what might have caused this I'd still appreciate knowing.
Cheers.
The Apple TV 1 can become unresponsive for a few moments while it updates the data file from your iTunes library, which it will often do just after being turned on.
Thanks.
Could this also have caused it restart by itself?
Or might it have had to do that because I unplugged it?
Possibly.
We are now down to one Apple TV 1, we had 5 at one time, they have slowly been replaced by the later versions of which we now have 6. The later versions have many more features and are totally reliable, however I prefer the way the Apple TV 1 organised movies and TV shows much better and have no plans to change our last Apple TV 1 unless it fails or Apple sort out their content organisation on their current models.
However the Apple TV 1 does have the occasional hiccup, it seems to pause (as noted above) when the library needs updating (especially if that update involves a lot of syncing of new content), it also seems to restart itself every couple of months or so, this can be at any time but is most often when a library update is occurring at the same time as starting a streaming movie.
iPhone app and original remote not working???
