If your problem persists 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.
- Open iTunes.
- Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Mar 13, 2012 5:26 PM in response to Dolphynsby Winston Churchill,It's a micro USB cable should you need to buy one. there isn't one included in the box, it's fairly uncommon that you would need one.
It's the same cable that is provided with many cameras and other devices, you may find that you already have one.
