Getting Apple TV to work after new software for it was downloaded

I purchased the apple TV 2 several months ago and it worked fine.  After it suggested new software I downloaded it. After that I could not operated the apple tv.  It simply showed the apple logo on my tv.  I reset it many times as well as the modem and apples router.  The input for the apple tv is ethernet direct from the  router.  I have checked the itunes and have home sharing on.  Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, to begin with.
If you can't get past the logo, 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.
Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.

  • Apple tv not working after new update

    Installed Apple TV update today and after the update was completed it showed the picture of hooking the lighting cable to iTunes.  How can this be done on Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can do this on a friends computer, that has iTunes installed.
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

    how do i get my apple email to work after switching to icloud?

    I'm on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with Mac Mail 4.5.
    Will deleting a .mac account in Mac Mail lose all saved emails, drafts, etc? I'm afraid of losing all my stuff.
    I just switched to iCloud last night and now I can access my mail only through the iCloud web interface. Mac Mail will not work with my .mac email account. But it still works for my other non-Apple addresses.

  • How long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?

    how long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?
    i have submit my request since 6 hours, is that normal??

    from what i hear, it takes a minimum of 72 hours before you hear back from Apple.
    but because there are a lot of people are wanting to get their free upgrades, it might take even longer now.
    good luck - just be a little patient and your turn will come soon....

    Why is my Apple ID not working after I've reset it? After I change it the password icon pops up and I type the new password in and it says it's wrong? What's happening

    Perform a Reset... Try again...

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...

    Release the Buttons...

  • My iPad is not responding - I am getting a picture of a cord and the Itunes logo.  I have tried to recover but Itunes tries to download new software but I cannot download software while it is in recovery mode.  Help!!

    What is the problem when all you get is a picture of a charging cord and the itunes logo?  I tried hooking up to my computer and itunes and it said I could not download the new software while it was in recovery mode but it won't let me do anything else.  Any ideas?

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.
    Take a look at this.

  • Can't get airport express to work with new wireless router

    I just swapped out a linksys wrt54gl for a linksys E1200 wireless router on my home network. My PCs and iPads, and TV all made the switch to the new network fine, but the airport express isn't working. All I want to use it for is to transfer iPad audio to my home speakers. but my iPad  AirPlay shows the old Airport as an option, I can switch to the Airport, no sound comes out the home speakers, then the iPad reverts AirPlay back to iPad.  This model Airport just has power, USB, and LANA ports, so it doesn't seem like it would be complicated. A CAT 5 cable goes from the airport WAN port to one of the ports on the back of the new wireless router. What did I overlook?

    I thought I'd jump in here with you network experts for some help with a related networking problem.
    Equipment:  iMac 24-inch, Early 2009 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2 MBP w/Retina Display; AirPort Express version 7.6.4 (Conncected Using: DHCP; Router Mode:  DHCP and NAT); Comcast/Xfinity Gateway 1 Modem w/2.4 GHz WiFi.
    #1.  Comcast forced me to change modems to their Gateway 1 saying mine was at “End of Life.”  Previously, my home network was set up with AP Express and worked fine using my iMac as a server.  After installing the Gateway 1, I could not get my network to work after repeated calls to their support, online chats, trial and error, reading community chats and articles, etc.  I put the Comcast modem in passive mode using the “Bridge” setting and re-established my network with my AP.  I’m using my iMac as a server for file sharing with my two MBP’s.  The network isn’t recognized in sleep mode and will not wake from sleep and I can’t find it or Connect to Server when the computer is asleep.  I’ve tried all combinations within the Energy Saver/Screen Saver/Security preferences.  I’ve reset the SMC and other like resetting to factory defaults. How can I fix this and what are the correct settings for my home network to function again with my AP Express?
    #2.  TimeMachine stops doing backups when the computer is in sleep mode, understandably because I’m not making any changes on the iMac that need to be backed up.  But using my laptops on the network, I am making changes in shared files that are hosted on the iMac that I would like backed up.  I cannot get the schedule feature to work to wake up the computer long enough to do a backup nightly because, as a security feature, I log out after 30 minutes of inactivity. I understand the schedule doesn’t work unless you’re logged in.  Is there a way for me to make this work?
    Thanks!
