Why does my apple tv say to plug into iTunes

Just did an update to apple tv now all it will show is a USB cord plug next to the iTunes icon. Tried turning off and on, unplugging. Nothing lets it move past this screen. What do I do next.

Welcome to the Apple Community.


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.
