Problem updating Apple TV(screen icon asking lead connection required to iTunes

Update has caused screen to show connection by cable to iTunes  required
and causing indicator light on box to false quickly

My ATV doesn't does (I didn't see it under the HDMI) have MicroUSB port, only Ethernet, power connector and HDMI. The icon on the screen is asking us clearly (at least my icon) to connect the ATV from the HDMI port to itunes. Thus, I need an HDMI to USB cable, which I don't have.
Interesting!!!

  • After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    You can try borrowing one. These cables are common for Android, Kindle etc. users.
    Here are some steps and notes to try:
    MANY people are reporting they've had to try multiple micro USB cables to find one that works. I got one that worked from a neighbor.
    For clarification, this needs to be a "micro" USB, not a "mini" USB
    Some people have also reported they've had to try the Restore process more than once.
    1. Unplug Apple TV and move it to your computer running latest version of iTunes.
    2. Quit iTunes if running.
    3. Plug micro USB cable to the back of the Apple TV.
    4. Power the Apple TV using  the AC cable.
    5. iTunes shoud either launch itself (a good indication that the micro USB cable you're using is compatible), or launch iTunes.
    6. Click Restore. Software will download and install (big file).

  • I am trying to update an app, but its asking to connect to a wifi  or downlown it in itunes. I can't do either or, or maybe I just don't know how to do it. Help

    I am trying to update an app, but its asking to connect to a wifi or downlown it in itunes. There are several apps that need updating, I can't do either or, or maybe I just don't know how to do it.It's saying that the app is over 50MB. But it's not telling me which app. Help!!!!!!!!!

    Well, I just purchased Linksys wifi and hooked it up. It's running fine. When I go to my IPhone settings to see is I'm connected to a wifi, it shows that I am not connected. When I hit my wifi to see or to connect, it takes me to the wifi networks and it's showing my secured wifi as being locked and my guess wifi as not locked. How do I sign in to my own wifi network.

    If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

    hey i have an ipod touch 5gen ,it has stopped responding and is showing a blank black screen.when ever i connect it to itunes it gives a sound of the connection. what am i suppose to do?(ios7)

    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 another cable
    - 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.

  • TS1702 I can't update my applications. Always appeared cannot connect to the iTunes store

    I can't update my applications. Always appeared cannot connect to the iTunes store

    I had the same issue all i had to do was go into settings > general > cellular > itunes > ON  then go back to the first settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > ON
    i had 5 days of trying to fix this with no help from apple, i also dont have wifi at home, but found if i went out could use wifi to access itunes, so went home and played with my phone and YAY FINALLY FIXED!
    Hope this helps everyone and maybe apple will let everyone know that after the update some phones automaticly switch cellular use off, i tried everything from changing the date forward to factory restoring my phone none of which fixed it
    GOODLUCK!

    Hi,
    Time to take your iPod in for service.
    You can make a Genius Bar reservation in advance if you are in the U.S.

    Hello samueljacob,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad isn't booting up completely and is stuck on the Apple logo, then I'd like you to please start with resetting the iPad.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, then please follow the steps outlined below.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it goes straight into the itunes store and so i can only access the music i have bought from itunes not the music i have stored in itunes on my computer

    i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.

    The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

  • Iphone is stuck on a black screen that says to connect it to itunes

    I wanted to update the ios on my iphone yesterday- biggest mistake ever. FOr hours it was stuck with the word searching on the top lest hand were the carrier name should be. At night I finally got the time to connect the **** phone to wifi and tried to update the idiot software again while the phone was charging. Woke up and the phone was on a black screen that asked me to connect the phone to itunes, so i did. Now it tells me to update it through itunes or it will restore the phone to factory settings which is something that I absolutely can not do because itunes has not let me back up my phone for over more that half a year.

    Your iPhone is in recovery mode and any data that was not backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore the phone and restore from your last backup.

  • Apple ID won't let me connect to the iTunes Store

    When i try signing in with my Apple ID to the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store becomes temporarily unavailable. My old Apple ID works but my new one wont allow me to sign in. Any Suggestions?

    Hello, TonyanAsia. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
