Well I managed to make it work in the end! I believe what did it was holding down Menu and Down on the silver remote for 10 seconds, then releasing, which remounted the ATV2 in iTunes. I tried to manually restore from the downloaded copy of 4.0 I had and it finally worked!
Until today, when I tried to update to 4.2. It crashed halfway through the installation process (after having downloaded the update, all this done via the ATV2 menus by the way) and when it restarted was still on 4.0. Tried again, same thing, so plugged it back into the Mac and went for a manual restore, first to 4.0, then to 4.2, and both times I'm getting 1611 errors.
That's if it can even communicate with Apple servers to verify the update, which 9 times out of 10 it fails to do.
I think I have to take this one back tomorrow and ask for a new one. I really wanted to try Airplay tonight too!
