    I have just had this problem so disconnected my ATV and found a micro USB connected from my wife's Samsung phone .then you connect to your mac and switch on ITunes , it recognises the ATV and asks if you want to restore , click yes Voila! If you don't have a micro USB someone with a mobile less than a couple of years old will, hope this helps it worked for me. The USB slot is in the back of ATV but hardly visible it's so small so disconnect first and you will see it!

    I'm all set thanks anyway ... You may want to let your employee's at the apple store in prov ri have the answer for customers they need to know!!!!! They just want to set up appt for not necessary questions that's why it's so busy in the store ...I'm always frustrated when I go there !!!!
