How to put my apple tv 3rd generation into DFU mode

I tried the way that I google on the internet which only plug the micro USB into the apple tv and connect it to the PC, but I don't see the light flashing at all. and my apple TV is on software 5.0(4099) version. And then I plug the power cord as well and open iTunes, the iTunes can recognize the apple TV and everything seems working fine inside the iTunes. So I believe the USB cable is working fine.
Have anyone put your apple TV 3 into DFU mode before?

Hi!
I´m sorry i dont have a solution to your problems because i have the very same problem.
My Apple Tv (3rd gen) freezes in menu and i cant restore it in iTunes (Error 1611).
So i´ve heard that you should put your device in DFU mode, and apparently its really easy for 2nd gen, but for some reason, no-one knows how to do it in 3rd gen, not even Apple support!!
Why does it have to be so hard? i mean it should be as easy as for the 2nd gen. I hope someone answers to this thread.

My brother's iPod was disabled for 23 million minutes then my dad fiddled with it. Now it's stuck in recovery mode and wont connect to my computer or go into DFU mode. How do I fix it?

It's an iPod touch 4S, white.
I've tried on various computer types (windows, macs, and even a linux) and nothing. None of the computers even recognized a device being plugged in.
I know it's not the cable, our other idevices use that one fine (I bought several more to be sure and no luck).
My dad is at his wits end and I want this insanity to end. Help please.
It's been locked so long I don't know what iOS it's on.
Dear god, what did my brother do.

See what you missed here:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

My iPod touch 64 GB doesn't charge or show up on iTunes, because the charger overheated it. How can I fix this problem? I tried restoring too and putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I put my iPad into DFU mode without thinking much about it. I didn't realize I would lose everything. Is there a way to get everything back the way I used to have it before I tried recovering my iPad?

A couple of days ago my iPad died, so I plugged it in to charge. It went into a rebooting loop, and when I looked up how to fix this, I saw that I can put my iPad into DFU mode to fix certain things like this. I did, not thinking much about it because l had seen both of my parents get new phones and everything was slowly but surely on their phone the way it was on their old phones.
I thought that even though I agreed to the iPad being put back into factory settings, I thought I would be able to get everything back the way it used to be just by logging into iCloud when setting it up. I was wrong. This is a school iPad, so all of my notes are gone. The only things that were backed up were my photos. All the games, social media, etc. that I had downloaded prior were gone. Even my notes.
Is there a way I can get everything back to the way it used to be, or was agreeing to put the iPad back into factory settings the wrong thing to do? Was it a mistake to take it upon myself to fix my iPad in this restarting loop? I would really like to get everything back, especially my school notes.

The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

Iphone will not respond after trying to put it into DFU mode while in recovery mode.

I tried to restore my iphone 4 and recieved error 21 in itunes, while in recovery mode I tried to put it into DFU mode and then it turned off and wont turn back on or be recognized by itunes or pc. I tried doing a hard reset and no luck. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

My iPod won't turn on after putting it into DFU mode

I've tried the recovery mode after my iPod disabled for 4 times, unfortunately the recovery mode didn't work so I tried the DFU mode.
After putting it to DFU mode the screen suddenly turned white then turned back to black immediately.

HT1349 hi, i am trying to enable my sons disabled ipod touch after he changed the passcode and forgot about it. I can get it into dfu mode but when im trying to restore it using itunes it keeps tripping out with an error message saying could not be restor

hi
my son has disabled his ipod touch and has forgotton the pass code, i have followed all the websites and got it into dfu mode but when itunes is restoring it back to its factory settings it is telling me that there are about 35 hours to go and then an error message comes up saying a problem with uploading and that my network isnt working (which is wrong) and to try again......donr this about 10 times now and everytime get the same error message......any help would be much appreciated
cheers
Paul

Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

My Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode. It died and it only shows the bolt symbol with the charger on the screen.

Carefully clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem, iPhone 5S has Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.
