Apple TV 2 broken, asking me to connect to iTunes

What does this mean? I can't get my Apple TV to work. After I reboot it, i get this screen for a few minutes and then nothing.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

    I am getting a picture of a USB cable and iTunes after trying to update my Apple TV 2. The reset with the remote's "menu"+"down key" gets the same message back.

  • Apple TV update is asking me to connect via USB cord that I don't have. How can I bypass this to access my shows?

    I have downloaded the recent apple tv update however it is now asking me to connect to iTunes via USB. I don't have this cord and have never connected to iTunes this way before. Only even via wifi. Does anyone know how I can bypass this

    No, you can't by-pass it. If you are getting this error message it mean something has gone amiss with the update and it needs to be connected to itunes to fix it. The USB it needs is a standard Micro USB to USB cable, the kind used by most digital cameras and readily available from any electronics or discount store.

    Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

    my ipad 2 suddenly shut off and asked me to connect to itunes it asks me to restore but it wont work need help pls

    The iPad is telling you it has entered the recovery mode - you need to follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 for connecting to a computer running iTunes by way of the recovery mode.

  • HT4113 my ipad is lock and ask me to connect to Itunes.

    Hi,
    Im having trouble with my ipad...i forgot the password and enter so many times,that now is asking me to connect to itune.what should I do to unlock my ipad?

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - entering wrong codes results in progressively longer lockout times until device must be restored completely.
    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • When I downloaded ios 7.0.2 to my iPad 2 it's asking me to connect to iTunes

    After I downloaded ios 7.0.2 to my iPad 2 it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I have never connected this iPad to iTunes. I tried turning it on and off, but it won't do anything until I connect to iTunes. I'm concerned based on some other questions that this is going to erase everything and make me start again. I believe I have a back up in iCloud, but I don't know if I've backed up since upgrading to ios 7. Is there anything I can do besides connect to iTunes and see where it takes me?

  • IPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1

    iPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1
    I have iPad which was updated to iOS 8.1.1 recently and after boot up of the iPad; it is asking me to connect to iTunes.
    Please let me know what might be the issue. Why is it asking me to connect to iTunes? How will I be able to restore the iPad to a working condition.
    Thanks in advance.

    It means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode (all software has bugs, operating system updates don't always go smoothly). You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes by its cable, and that should recognise the iPad and let you reset it back to factory defaults - you can then restore to you backup, or just resent your content to it.

  • My iphone has turned itself off and asking to be connected to itunes however i cant put the passcode in

    my iphone has turned itself off and asking to be connected to itunes however i cant put the passcode in for itunes to restore it as it will only let me make emergency calls. Any help?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    my ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.
