You can restore by geting 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.


However , even should it work, your symptoms suggest it is something connected to your Apple TV that is causing it a problem and that something may re-occur.

If you are saying it is now working after disconnecting it from the power and other connections for a period of time, then I'm afraid I am back to the opinion I posted some time ago, which is that something connected to the Apple TV is causing a problem and corrupting the Apple TV, which is then being resolved once the cables are disconnected. What that something is I'm afraid I do not know, and without being able to test it in different locations, with different cables, different TVs etc etc I'm not sure how you are going to find out.
