Apple tv 2 restore stalls

When I hooked up my new Apple TV 2, it showed the USB cable and iTunes logo graphic. I connected my Apple TV 2 to iTunes and performed a 'restore'.
with just a sliver of the progress bar left, the 'Restoring Apple TV Software' process seemingly has frozen, and has not completed for over an hour of waiting time.
What should I do now?
thanx for any help...

Although the "extend" feature does not impact overall bandwidth significantly, it does use up some bandwidth for extended network administration. What you may be experiencing is that there just enough of a bandwidth loss using the extended network that is affecting the quality of the streams to the Apple TV.
If you prefer to use the Express to extend your wireless network, I would suggest that you try relocating the Express. Even a small distance (inches) can make a difference. At 2.4 GHz, the wavelength is around 5 inches. Better still, to help find the "sweet spot" of where to best place the Express, you can calculate the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the Extreme's signal at the Express' location.
SNR (in dB = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm). You will want the SNR value to be 25-30+ for the best performance. If you have a Mac laptop (running Leopard or Snow Leopard) handy, you can easily make this calculation using OS X's System Profiler.

Restore stalled, what do i do? Disconnect my phone?

Restore stalled - should I disconnect my phone?

Hey- just went through something similar - and I'm sorry I don't have the perfect answer... bc mine did what you are saying except my itunes did recognize that "an iphone" was connected and so it suggested that I do a recovery-mode restore on it and then I did a back up restore via itunes to get my most recent back up transferred to my iphone, and then it finally listed my phone as "xxx's iphone" in itunes.... here's the link I used: http://www.copytrans.net/blog/how-to-restore-iphone-after-updating-to-ios-7/ and I also used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
I think what you are saying is that itunes doesn't even recognize that your iphone is plugged in - so you can't start the recovery process? I DO know that in the hours of me muddling through the internet - googling this issue - that I did see other posts of those who plugged into itunes, and it didn't recognize their iphone, but they DID have suggestions on how to deal with the problem... while I don't have "the" solution, I wanted you to know I did see an answer out there - just skimmed past it as I was searching for mine... sorry I don't remember good luck!

My apple TV 3 is stuck in recovery. When connected to iTunes through microUSB, it gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore", then after what seems forever, it gives me an error 2003. What can be done?

I tried to update my Apple TV today through iTunes using a microUSB. It gave me an error, I tried again and now it is stuck in recovery mode. If I plug it into the TV, it just shows that I have to connect it to iTunes (just the picture). I unplug everything, plug the microUSB and USB, plug the power, open iTunes, it shows, asks me to restore, I click Restore. It starts extracting the file, finishes, then gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore..." for what seems forever, when it finally times out, I get an error number 2003. I have tried different USB ports, no other USB device is connecte, I have tried restarting the PC (running windows 7, up to date, iTunes up to date as well), I have tried redownloading the IPSW and even using the shift+restore and manually selecting the .IPSW file, and to be honest, I give up! If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks!
PS: I also tried pressing menu+down for 6 seconds to restart, I tried pressing menu+play to restart, I tried pressing menu+down 6 secs and then menu+play 6 seconds for the so called DFU mode, nothing works, the Apple TV just restarts back to the "connect to itunes picture" along with the fast continuous white light flashing.

I can't ask for help on chat as I'm away from home and don't have the box with me, and obviously can't get the serial number in my phone as I've locked myself out!!
Any help will be much appreciated!!

My touch died and I got a replacement from Apple. I restored from backup, and it installed all my apps. My iBank and Docs to Go will not set up to sync. In both cases, when I enter the numbers it says they are incorrect. They aren't.

My iPod Touch died, and I received a replacement from Apple. I restored it from my last backup, using iTunes. This reinstalled my apps as well. These included iBank Mobile and Documents to Go. I have the desktop versions on my MacBook. When I attempted to sync I was directed to install the device. OK. In both cases, I get to the point where I am instructed in type in the numbers from the iPod screen into the desktop to set up the sync. When I do, i get an error code in Docs to Go, and "the number is incorrect" from iBank. I tried deleting and reinstalling the mobile app for iBank with the same results. Help please.

When you restore one device from a backup of another device, keychain items like passwords are not restored unless you used an encrypted backup.
Try logging into the two apps. Next I would try deleting the apps and redownload resetup the apps.

Ipad 2 is asking for apple id after restoring

I work for a school and we handed out several ipad 2 ,3 and airs over the years. It has come to my attention that I cannot go into recovery mode and restore an ipad any longer with out it asking for an apple id after restored. The problem is that several if not all are asking for staffs own apple ids. Is their a way to change this or can apple change this for me. Our school has purchased all of these from apple. The other big question is how did their ID become paired up with that ipad?

Hi bgs47,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iPads that have been restored are prompting for the previous user's Apple ID. This feature is called Activation Lock, and occurs when the user has signed in to the device with their iCloud account and turned on Find my iPhone:
With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Sign out of iCloud on your device
Erase and reactivate your device
From:
iCloud: Activation Lock
If the user is not available to enter their information into the device, they can remove it from their iCloud account by following these steps:
Contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
You can find these steps and more information about Activation Lock here:

Apple TV 2G restore not eligble and error 1604

HI,
When trying to restore my Apple TV 2G I get an error through iTunes after I click restore and update that It cannot be restored because the build is not eligble and sometimes I get the error 1604 after it takes forever to "Prepare Apple TV for Restore".
Any ideas on how to get this thing to be functional again???

If you at least know your Apple ID you can go to this Apple Support page.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Click on Forgot My Password.
Try to recover or set a new password. Hopefully your email addresses still get mail from Apple.

What are the steps in Apple Configurator iPad restore? It appears to me that Configurator repeats steps, but it probably is that I don't know what happens and when.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

It sounds like this iPad was purchased second hand. If so, you will need to contact the original owner, otherwise your iPad will remain Activation Locked.

Still stuck on the Apple after many restores - battery maybe?

Hi! Do you think that a battery might be a problem while my iPhone 3GS is still stuck on the Apple after many restores? Tried different computers, nothing works, but restore is completed. First if turned off while watching a movie. Tried to restore many times but got a lot of 1602s. Than on a different computer, finally worked, connected to iTunes but still stuck on the Apple. Don't know what to do anymore.

Here are some reasons for your 1602 error:
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
If the phone has not been jailbroken, and given the age of the device, it could be a defective battery. Apple can fix that for you:

Found an Ipod in the ground.It's disabled and the home button is broken.Can I go to apple store and restore for me for free?

Apple might be able to restore it, but most likely not. You can pay apple $150 to replace it, but make shure to not mention that you found it.
