Apple tv bricked by update v7

Trying to update my Apple TV 3rd gen, rev 2 (A1469 - AppleTV3,2 - MD199LL/A) to Apple TV 7, the update failed. Now I need to restore my Apple TV via iTunes. But the so-called "micro USB" connector on the ATV is different from any other micro USB cables that I have.
Where can I get the correct cable, and how do I specify it to be sure I'm not getting yet another micro USB cable with the wrong size USB connector?
BTW, I tried to make a Genius Bar reservation, but (due to the iPhone 6 rollout) they're booked for days.

Standard microUSB which are data/power capable work. If there are proprietary modifications or they are power-only, they will not work.
Do the same cables allow you transfer images from cameras for example? If yes, they are both data and power capable.
If you have an Apple Store close by, you can try and reset it there, otherwise you will need to get a cable that works.

  • Apple TV Bricked after update?

    Installed an update this morning (prompted by Apple TV). Finished downloaded and rebooted. Never came back. Console light keeps blinking. I've tried a reset using the remote (MENU + DOWN), it blinks quickly indicating reset was accepted, but goes back to the same state.
    Anyone else? Any way to fix it?

    The USB connector is not standard, and I don't remember one shipping with the device? I may be wrong..

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

    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.
    - Go to Settings>Game Center and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • HT5622 My apps are not updating as I have no longer access to my eariler apple Id and now I am using a new apple Id which is allowing to download  apps but while updating those apps my iPod wants eariler apple Id password to update what should I do ?

    Hi Kanishk,
    Those apps are forever tied to the Apple ID they were purchased under. You can either delete them and re-purchase them, or you can go to Manage your Apple ID and reset the password on the old Apple ID so you can use it to update your apps: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you decide to continue to use them under the old ID password, I would suggest that when you reset that password, you change it to be the same password as the one you are currently using. That way when apps need to be updated you will only need to know one password and you won't have to be concerned with which Apple ID is displaying.
    Cheers,

  • APple MBP v1.3 Update after a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 reinstall

    Is the Apple MBP v1.3 update part of SNow Leopard 10.6.4 Combo Update and if not how do I go about installing Apple MBP v1.3 update after I have already installed snow leopard Combo Update from 10.6.3?
    From the APple Website the v1.3 update will only install if you have 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and might become an issue if trying to install it after 10.6.4 Combo Update has been installed.
    So my question is:
    Is the Apple MBP v1.3 Update part of the 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Combo update?
    Thanks

    Run Software Update. If it doesn't list Apple MBP v1.3 Update as an available update then you don't need it.

  • So, my ipod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. HELP?!

    So, my IPod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. As this would void my device from Apple. I love the features iOS 6 has to offer but I don't want to put out anymore money. IPods are expensive enough, Should I use blobs? Or would that make my device worse. Plus I do not want to pay $20.00 for a chat and have to wait all day to someone who I can't understand on the telephone. someone help me please.

    For the slowness:
    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings
