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.

Buy the cable, or take it to Apple.

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."

Try connecting your Mac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable to see if that lets AirPort Utility "see" the Time Capsule.

I would think Airport Express would do the job (this is UK store site but it should be available wherever you are):
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC414B/A/airport-express
It has an audio output socket and air play will stream music from your mac to the device wirelessly. If you want to listen to the radio will need to do so via iTunes or use a program such as Airfoil (free):

The disk needs to be properly formated & partitioned.

By updating to IOS 6.1 something went wrong. The rsult is that I have picture of USB cable and Itunes on my Iphone and the PC does not recognize it. What can I do ? Pøease Help. My Iphone is dead !

you may have to do this a couple of times http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

? I do not understand what I am supposed to do. I do not know about points or anything else.

what am I doing and what happed to my question that I sent,,,where did it go.....how to I ever find the so called easy to find HELP and support.......everytime I click on something I am in trouble....
someone please help me ........someone email me with some kind of instructions....I do not know what is going on.....I need to talk to someone about my Elements 8 in Editing about things that are not working..... my email address is [email protected]
this is probaly not working either...

I am new to all of this and new also to Photoshop elements 8 and Premiere 8. Now this is the fourth time that I have written my question. I was in element 8 in EDIT . After I chose NEW --- BLANK I got a box to choose data about a LAYER’s demensions. I entered a 6x6 inch size and clicked OK at which time a white empty box appeared. I had been instructed to at this time to bring in the picture that I was going to edit etc. The picture centered itself right in the middle of the white square box. The picture had little square marks at each corner and each middle of all the sides. It also had a big X from corner to corner. My next instruction was to move my mouse pointer to the upper right corner and hold down the clicker and drag to the upper right corner of the white box. My picture was supposed to expand to the same size as the white box but it did not. All it would do is move as is .
I noticed that when I started to do as instructed for the expanding that my pointer was an arrow when it was outside the big white box, but when I moved the mouse pointer into the white box area, the arrow changed to a horizontal set of three very little dash marks. I had no idea what that was all about but I continued to do as instructed and clicked on the corner of the picture to star the expansion move. I thought that I should have had an arrow as my pointer and that when I would click onto the corner that an expand symbol like this ... <—> diagonally would appear but it didn’t..
This is getting a bit long, suffice to say that I had gone to many people and PC places to solve this but to no avail....I found today my elements 8 disks so what is on my PC is not a DEMO it is legit as I thought it was but maybe it is corrupt. What do you think? How do I get an answer to this. I could not figure out where and how to find things? The terminologies of the adobe so called help and support doesn’t help either. Oh by the way, Thanks for at least contacting me....bless you...thanks...also your instructions say that I am suppose to NOW choose a POST where is that at ? all I see is a SEND, so I’ll choose that! Again Thanks

I used bootcamp to install windows 7 to my macbook pro 7 whenever I try playing a game the graphics seem to be lower or than what it's suppose to handle. I'm not good with technical stuff so i don't know that much but I'd really love some help.

Help please

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

What does it mean when my dvd burner does not have a disc in and randomly turns on while surf net

My HP Pavillion desktop with a HP w2207h monitor started randomly playing dvd without a dvd in it. I was just surfing the internet and it turned on spinning with no dvd or cd in it. What does this mean?

The sound you heard could be your hard drive. It makes a spinning sound like the dvd drive sometimes. Did you notice if the light on the dvd drive came on as well, if not then it was the hard drive making the noise.
I am an HP employee.

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.
