Q: Had a power failure. Now my AppleTV...

AppleTV has been looping for 15 minutes trying to set date & time. Tried to do it manually, but it keeps coming back to 'setting date and time.' Could it take this much time to reset? Not previously.

Hi Margaux1952,

If your Apple TV appears to be behaving abnormally after an unexpected power outage, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting in the following article:

If your Apple TV still isn't responding correctly, you may want to restart and/or restore the unit:
