Q: TV shows iTunes with USB icon. I get past this. Help please?

I was doing a restore on my Apple TV2. When I came back to my TV the white light on the box was blinking. I've tried many resets, but it is unresponsive. All it does is shoe the iTunes icon and the USB on the TV screen. Any thoughts with this please?

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.
