Apple TV stuck in restore in iTunes - message, "waiting for apple TV" and then nothing happens for hours.
Hello having major issue with Apple TV, have searched the forums over the last week but can't find a solution that works.
My ATV is not working when I had it plugged into TV so I thought I would plug it in and restore it via iTunes. I have tried three different micro-USB (all of which work on other devices). So in iTunes I had downloaded the latest ATV software and it starts to restore the ATV (extracts/prepares/verifies) but the restore gets stuck on the part of "waiting for Apple TV" and then nothing happens, as in overnight nothing happens. I have tried using the remote to reset the ATV but nothing. The flashing light is constant.
Anyone got an ideas on what to do when the restore doesn't work?
Best to take it to Apple

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

my ipad froze during a upgrade. it might have run out of battery. i brought it with me to work and i'm charging it but it keeps displaying a black screen. it wont even let me power it off.
If it is totally black, all the time, and you can never see anything on the screen, I agree with stef7 - it needs replacing. Is it still under the manufacturer's warranty?
Is the proximity sensor (dot(s) on top of the phone) covered by a case or screen protector? That would make the phone "think" you are holding the phone at your ear to talk, and will turn off the screen to save battery.. -
Whenever i try to manually sync my iPhone with a new playlist on iTunes (on my laptop), it always gets stuck in step 7, Waiting for changes to be applied, and then nothing happens. I'm running the latest operating systems on both my iPhone 5 and macbook
I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it. -
I am unable to install itunes. I get the pop-up asking if I want to save or cancel the iTunes64 file. I click save... and then nothing happens. Help!
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
i am trying to update my ipod touch to 4.3.3. Itunes says it needs to be updated to 10.3.1 to do this, so i click update and then nothing happens.

when i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, its been 12hrs since like that. i tried force restart by clicking the home and sleep/wake button, and still same issue.
I believe with the 3G and the older iOS, erase all content and settings acts differently than the newer iOS. You can use this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to place the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome chime", fan comes on, a light comes on on my Apple moniter and then nothing - black screen. What,s going on?
what you describe as the "welcome chime" is the indicator that your Mac has passed the Power-On Self test, and if a suitable source of software can be found, booting is likely.
If the screen stays dark, the most likely explanation is a graphics card failure. But it could also be caused by a backlight failure in the LCD, so be sure you try shining a bright light at the screen to be check whether the picture is there, but just not illuminated.
Graphics card failure will end the boot-up process in some cases, and not have an impact in others. Two external indications you can use when your display is not working are: The Caps Lock key, which is under the control of Mac OS X, and the Control-Eject dialog box shown below. Note that the default is Shutdown, so a Mac that shuts down in response to Control-Eject followed by Return is working fine. -

Hi all, as Ive said in the question, anyone help me with this, have tried most of the suggestions Ive found so far.
StephenNo, Nothing happened, nothing was downloaded. When I say nothing happened I mean NOTHING HAPPENED, What can I say to make it more clear. How could I run a file that wasn't downloaded.....Nothing happened, rien, nada, b***** all. Why would I post a message saying "When I press the Save button nothing happens" if something had been downloaded.
I've found out why. It is because I am using Firefox. Presumably a case of Apple treating us users of the superior Operating system (Windows) with distain. -
I'm trying to download my existing iTunes account onto my new computer. For one, every time I try and download it it takes a second and then says "thank you for downloading iTunes!" and after that there's nothing, no results, no download. I read the instructions, and I looked on my toolbar. There appears to be no pop-up control and I can't find anything relating to it. I have Windows 8, in case that makes a difference. This shouldn't be a problem, but it is, so....HELP???!

IPad 2 is not responding. Has picture of apple then a small ring and then nothing happens
iPad has frozen. Apple picture with loading ring around
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]
Failing that, see here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 -
When I click on check updates I don't get a message just the thinking icon and then nothing
I have version 1.0.1 and I want to upgrade. The reason I haven't done it yet is because I recently bought the phone second hand. But I am unable to update it and what happens is the circular icon indicating that something is happening shows up, then disappears and there is no message about updating. If I cannot upgrade it, is there some other way to upgrade the browser because I cannot use it properly at the moment.
ThanksHi
Thanks for the help. Do you think I could ask what this means "Take out SIM card and check whether update.zip of SD card is in accordance with
to be upgraded mobile phone; copying update package to update.zip file before upgrade."??? Or should I start a new thread for that. It is kind of vague instructions but maybe I missing something, for example an SD card that was made for the phone and I am only use one that I found in my drawer that had some music on it...
Thanks again -
