My point is that Apple should have provided a micro usb cable with the unit if we are expected to update with one. Previous updates have worked over wifi; this one should also.
I absolutely agree with you about the cable - it would cost them pennies to provide one.
I have several from external USB drives but not everyone does.
If being acble to restore over USB is an expected get out of jail solution for problematic AppleTVs one should have been included.
I wonder if the new iPhone comes without a cable to connect to iTunes now (I've had it a week and not opened the box!), or maybe there's no SIM tool anymore!

    You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

  • HT5706 Is there a way around updating your Apple TV without the micro usb cable?

    The light is just blinking at me and the tv shows a picture that I must need to connect to itunes.

    Unfortunately, in that case, you will need the micro USB cable.

  • HT4367 What am I supposed to do, if I do NOT have a micro USB cable..???

    After updating my Apple TV, there is only an icon on my TV screen, requesting me to connect to iTunes. But what do I do, if I don't have a micro USB cable. There HAS to be another way, since Apple TV is sold without this cable.

    The same just happened to me and despite living in the US with plenty of stores to waste your time finding the right cable it is more than annoying that I need to buy a cable to finish an upgrade that did not suggest such a step in the beginning.
    Tonight I am ******* mad about Apple.
    This is just very bad product design
    You only need the cable if something goes wrong with the update. Your update failed. Who knows why. Corrupted download, who knows. This procedure is the rescue so you don't have to take it in for repair.
    For the record, my Apple TV 2 updated without issues, no cable needed. I found out long ago that restarting (rebooting) your Apple TV just before updating usually prevents such trouble. The Apple TV is a comuter just like and iPhone or iMac.

  • Why dosen't my micro USB cable work??

    I am trying to connect my apple TV to my macbook pro using a micro usb cable, but neither the computer nor

  • Reset an Apple TV 3 but I don't have a micro usb cable right now. What to do?

    So, I want to reset an Apple TV 3 but I don't have a micro usb cable right now. What to do?

    I have mini USB cords but no micro USB cords. The instructions on the Apple website assume that the customer has a micro USB by stating, "Connect one end of the micro-USB cable to the back of your Apple TV, and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports." As a customer, I understand by the language used that I should have the micro USB included with the Apple TV. If we are to supply our own micro USB cables, a re-wording of the instructions would alleviate any misunderstandings. Apple should start out by writing, "You will need to obtain a micro USB cord separetely from the Apple TV."

  • Micro USB cable

    Would someone give me a link or model number for the "micro USB cable" that specifically goes from the Apple TV 2/3 gen to a MacBook Pro 13 2012? Thanks!

    You would want something like this.
    Although you may well have one around the house, they are very popular for cameras, satellite navigation systems etc.

  • HT4367 I don't think I have an open outlet for a micro USB cable on my apple tv

    I understand that I need to connect a micro usb cable from my apple tv to my computer to restore, but i don't have an outlet on the back of my apple tv to do so.  Am i missing something?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Take it to the nearest Apple Store, they'll be more than happy to restore it for you. If the nearest store isn't all that near, take it to a friends house that iTunes on their computer.

  • How to upgrade my BB OS without BB Link?

    Hi,
    I just got a new BB Q-10 a week ago and it it is currently running OS 10.1.0.314. I have a notification of Blackberry OS update in BB Hub. Now the problem is that I am somehow unable to install BB Link on my PC (running Windows 8.1) as it says that this application is not compatible with the Windows I am using. So how can i upgrade the BB OS without using BB Link?
    A quick response will be highly appreciated as what I have noticed so far is that BB Q-10 runs not as smooth as my previous Bold 9790 was. So I am dearly hoping that an OS upgrade would fix the little problems I am seeing in my Q-10.
    Regards.

    For a backup you can use the Sachesi tool:

    which is much quicker than BB Link.

  • How can i connect the printer without a usb?

    I have recently changed my internet provider and have tried to reinstall the printer software but it wont find the printer and says that i need a usb cable which i dont have. Can i connect the printer without one? Its a photosmart all-in-one c4380 printer.

    Have no idea, no model number of printer.   You can always buy a USB Printer cable.
