Apple tv is showing i need to connect to itunes

I'm not able to connect to itunes between the appletv and the computer.  How else can I fix this

You need to grab a micro USB cable and restore through iTunes.

  • Apple tv just started showing I need to connect to itunes.

    I can't as I do not have the cable needed. What can I do?

    I may be wrong Karsten but the OP seems to be saying that the Apple TV is asking for the cable and hence it is that 'special situation' you refer to.

    Given the state your device is in you have already erased your old stuff. You have an image on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes." That's what the image means. So you will need iTunes on your computer.

    I have flashing light on the apple tv, i need to connect to itunes for maintenance, can I do it wirelessly?

    No. As the Apple TV is unresponsive you need to connect to iTunes, which is done via micro usb

    Dear Apple Support,
    Good day to you.
    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.
    Thank you

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • I was trying to put my password but it is not working. My Ipod touch is showing "Ipod is disabled, connect to Itunes". But I tried to connect but the Itunes tells me that I need the password first to connect.I do not know the password. what should I do?

    I put the password in my Ipod and now I am trying to put it again but it is not working....I tried to connect with the Itunes and it is not working because to the Itunes work with my Ipod, I need the password first, which I do not know. In my Ipod is showing "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes". I was trying to connect but I can't...what should I do ?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Did you try restore from teh AppleTV menu connecetd to TV.
    If so sounds as though something went wrong.
    Hook up to a computer using a micro USB cable alone, run iTunes and select the AppleTV to restore:

  • I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

    I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

    There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections.   Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function.   Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.

    Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care.   If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • HT1414 My ipod seems to have just died. It would not allow me to slide to open and then it went to a screen that showed a picture of connect to itunes. I did that and it gave me the option to restore so I did that and now I get nothing a black screen w/fa

    Just went to open my ipod and seems to have died. Worked fine this morning. Showed a pic of connect to itunes and did that and it said I needed to restore to factory settings so I did that and now nothing just black screen with faint apple in the back  ground will not turn off or on and itunes will not recognize it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
    I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.
