Can't update/restaure my apple TV Hello! I recently bought a tv+ sub to watch some new TV show and when I took out of an old box my Apple TV and tried using it, I notice the airplay didn't work with tv+ from my iPhone 13. I immediately tried to update the apple TV because I assumed it was related to the apple tv version because tv+ is kind of new. The thing is, updates do not work. Download is okay, but install fail. I tried everything : restart, double check connection and everything. Then, I tried to restaure it. Same problem, download work and install fail: So, I called apple support and they suggest to connect my apple tv to my macbook. Which I did, but I had the same issues: So... if anyone knows or have any ideas that can help... I'll really thankful!!! Model: MD199FD/A Serial number: C0HLJB9JFF54 Thanks! David

You have to change the input on your TV to HDMI2, you can use your TV's remote to change the input. Once you do then you should be able to see the Apple TV. The Apple TV should have a solid light showing on it that indicates it is up and running.
