Lost power during software update

Hi everybody,
I lost power to my home while Apple TV 2 was in the middle of a software update. Now, it won't boot up and I'm shown a graphic with the itunes logo and a USB cord, obviously suggesting I should connect to my computer by wire. However, the usb port on the back is tiny, and no wires I have fit it. I don't recall the device coming with this wire, either. Resetting using the standard Menu+down button method has had no effect.
Anybody out there know a way to fix this without having to go out and buy a special wire?
Thanks!
Rex

yep you have to connect it to your computer's itunes so that it can download the firmware from apple via usb.
The cable you need is a Micro-USB connector.
If you are near an apple store you could make an appointment, or simply pop in, explain the situation and I am sure they would be more than happy to do it for you. I find the customer service in apple stores in the UK top notch.

  • LOST MY CONTACT DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE

    I LOST MY CONTACTS DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE A WEEK AGO , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST BACK UP HELD ON MAY 16, BUT FAILED , AM EVEN SURE I'V SELECTED ALL DATA BACKUP FOR ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BACKUP , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM ANY BUT FAILED , TRIED THE GMAIL CONTACTS ALSO FAILED , WONDERING WHERE MY CONTACTS I'VE SAVED FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS ARE GONE ....AM TOTTALY DISSAPOINTED SINCE AM A BLACKBERRY USER SINCE 5 YEARS ,  ALWAYS SUPPORTED  BLACKBERRY AGAINST IPHONE USERS , ALL MY FREINDS ARE NO MORE USING BLACKBERRY AND SWITCHED TO IPHONE OR SAMSUNG , AM HAVING AN EMPTY BBM LIST NOW , BUT  STILL SUPPORTING AND EVEN BOUGHT THE Z10 FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE , I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE , BUT CANT UNDERSTAND THE USELESS BACK UP I'VE ALWAYS DOING ! AND THE WORSE IS THAT LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE TURNED THE Z10 TO A WORSE MOBILE.

    Hum, it is worrying...
    So... your contacts seem to be on:
    Gmail,
    your previous backups.
    -Solutions:
    if all your contacts are on Gmail: copy them manually on your device,
    they are a priori all in your backups: wait that Link won't be in Beta anymore, and then restore.
    P.S.:
    You make backups and don't register your contacts on SIM, is it possible ? Personally, I rarely register contacts on SIM. If there is a malware, it can be charged from the SIM to the Phone, this is why.

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • HT202157 My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

    My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    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.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • Keep awake during software updates?

    hello.
    so I'm using ARD, and automator, ical, to schedule a software update on certain machines at certain times. so far I havnt had much luck, I think due to the fact that machines go to sleep during the update. I would prefer not to have to set my stations to stay awake all the time, but instead to stay awake during software updates/ permissions repairs, long enough to complete the task and send the confirmation back to ARD.
    Thanks for any help someone may have/suggestions/etc

    Use ARD to send the Unix command *systemsetup -help*
    This will return a bunch of different commands for you to look at that are related to power and energy saving settings. Choose one that changes the sleep settings. Make sure you send the command as the root user
    You can always read the man files for the pmset command using your Terminal app. Also check out this page too:

  • Error message during software updates

    I am constantly receiveing the following error message during software updates. This time it happened with an HP printer update, but it has happened with iTunes and Safari as well. Does anyone know what I need to do?
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/GeneIOUSBCFSubclass.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update
    Thanks!

    Try using Help > Updates from one of your CS6 applications.
    When you return home, you might try uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it again. It sounds like some stuff may have become corrupted.

  • Freezing up during software update

    I just installed loin on one of my hard drives on my early 2008 Mac Pro. During software update the OS either crashes or freezes up.

    I was eventually able to correct the problem. It first started because the phone's battery got completely discharged - thought the USB cable would keep it powered but that wasn't the case.
    Anyway, tried to reboot the phone by removing and reinstalling the battery and the phone would not turn on, so this is how I understood what happened. Disconnected it from the USB cable and got the following message:
    Your BlackBerry® Device Software is updated and you can safely disconnect your device.
    Warnings were encountered during the loading process:
    Application data could not be restored to the device.  The backup data file has been saved to "file name".  You can use the Desktop Software Backup/Restore tool to restore this information.
    Recharged the phone, did the restore and the phone is back to life !
    Cheers,
    Giorgio

  • Throttle CPU utilization during software updates

    Are there any settings to throttle CPU Utilization during software update installation on client computers?  I am deploying updates to test systems currently and noticed that the CPU utilization was being pegged at 100% during the install.  After
    the updates installed, the system returned to normal.

    Also note that ultimately, it is the Windows Update Agent that is installing the update(s) so it's not really within ConfigMgr's scope of control and would happen no matter what method you chose to use to update these systems with Windows Updates which
    leads me to believe these systems have perf issues to begin with. Are they VMs?

  • Power outage during software update.

    Exactly that, power went out during a software update. Now when I start my computer I get the gray screen of death, with the apple that changes to the circle with the slash through it. I repaired the disk of my HD with the install disk disk utility, and the permissions. I still get the gray screen on start up though.

    Losing power while updating a program or the OS is not good but one would expect a notebook to survive since it has an independent power source. Back in the old days before I owned an uninterruptible power supply my only recourse was to reinstall the OS and start the updates all over again.
