If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    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)

  • I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?

    I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?

    In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
    See this article for more details.

    For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • HT1551 How do I fix a 2nd generation Apple TV that does not restore to factory settings after a failed installation of software update 6.0?

    Yesterday, I got asked by my 2nd generation Apple TV if I wanted to update download and install the new software update. I clicked "Yes" and the download and installation process began. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and when the installation completed the Apple TV automatically rebooted itself, which is what has happened with previous software updates.
    Alas, after reboot, the only thing that appeared on screen was an old iTunes logo (the one with the CD in the background) and what looked like a USB cable. I went online and found out that other people had been experiencing similar problems with the newly released Apple TV 6.0 update and that they had also ended up with the same image on their screen.
    As it turns out, this image apparently means that you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings by hooking it up to your computer using a micro-USB cable and then using iTunes to restore it in a way analogous to restoring an iPhone via iTunes.
    I followed all of the instructions to the letter such as disconnecting my Apple TV from all cables including the power cord and then hooking it up to my computer with the micro-USB cable. I opened iTunes and absolutely nothing happened. The Apple TV does not appear as a device so I am not able to restore it.
    I have attempted rebooting my computer and leaving my Apple TV disconnected for a while before hooking it up to my computer since it apparently has an internal baterry that keeps a charge for about 30 seconds after being disconnected. Nothing has worked.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    System configuration:
    Apple TV 2nd generation running update 5.3
    iTunes version 11.1 (126)
    Mac OS X 10.8.5 on an Intel Core 2 Duo

    Did you follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • I need to conect my 2nd generation apple tv to an old analog stereo. What is the best way?

    So, I have a brand new 2nd generation apple tv, a brand new projector and an old analog receiver. I want to be able to play music off of the apple tv without turning on the projector and so am trying to figure out the best way to connect the ATV to the receiver. 2nd generation only has an optical audio out. The cheapest option I have found is a Digital to Analog converter that costs $90. If you add in the wires it costs as much as the ATV! Kind of annoying as now I see the first generation had analog outputs.
    Just wondering if anyone had any other solutions or suggestions. Anyone done this?
    Thanks!

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod that only displays an image of the cord, and an arrow to connect to iTunes. I've done this and it says it needs to be restored. Tried that but I get an error: 1611.  Any suggestions?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod that won't do anything but display the Apple logo for a brief second then an image of the cord suggesting it should be connected to iTunes. I tried to restore it via iTunes but I get an Error: 1611. It does nothing else.  I tried turning off using both buttons...nothing. Any suggestions?

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

  • 2nd generation apple tv video pause

    My 2nd generation apple tv video pause's (or lags) during movies rented from itunes.  I have adjusted the video settings for lower resolution and checked on different TV in the house but still the same issue.  The pause only occurs on videos that are directly downloaded from itunes and does not occur on videos that are saved on the computer's itunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Content on 2nd Generation Apple TV

    I am thinking of passing my 2nd Generation Apple TV on to a family friend once I have moved up to a new 1080p vesion. Can someone explain how I wipe all the contents off (music, photos and video) as i obviuosly would not want to pass this info on.
    Thankyou

    There is no content other than your screensaver photos on the Apple TV 2. Regardless you should restore the Apple TV ( settings > general > reset)

  • Which DAC models work with 2nd generation Apple TV ?

    I intend to purchase 2nd generation Apple TV for streaming music/video from latest model of 21.5" iMac through wireless network (Apple Airport Extreme) to audio system and HDTV in living room. The Apple TV will replace existing problematic Airport Express for music streaming.
    I have locking/syncing problem to get Cambridge Audio's DacMagic and Meier Audio's StageDAC communicate with Airport Express through digital audio optical connection but no problem at all with Audio-GD's FUN DAC/amplifier. I have decided to use Meier Audio's StageDAC for its excellent sound stage. But will the same locking/syncing problem repeated with latest model of Apple TV ? How different between Airport Express and new Apple TV as far as digital audio optical port is concerned ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check your iTunes store location is correct, restart the Apple TV by unplugging it, restart your router.
