    in that case I think you need to connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore the firmware

    Hi (Bonjour)!

     

    Same problem here, the Apple TV 3rd gen. has suggested an update, but despite the complete download, the process failed on the second step(progress bar) and I've got an "connect to iTune with micro USB cable" splash screen, no white LED on ATV.

     

    I've connected the ATV unit to my "up to date for all soft" 2013 iMac, and I've got the restore Apple TV dialog. The download completes, but the update process failed with an "1611 error" warning. It seems that his error is related to virus protection software. But... I do not use any virus protection software... so I can't apply any suggested workaround to solve the problem.

     

    I've now a dead box Apple TV.

     

    Bad, bad move when selecting "apply update" on a pretty usable ATV.
