Q: I just had an update show up on my Apple TV, went for it and now I get just a picture of the back of my Apple TV box, a white cord connected to the very smallest port under the HTMI and the iTunes icon. What am I supposed to do with THAT!?!?!

I had the option last night to update my Apple TV, which I did. But rather than returning me to my accounts I got a full screen picture showing the back of my Apple TV box, a white cord connected to the smallest port just under the HTMI port. The white cord snakes over to the iTunes icon on the other half of the screen. What am I supposed to do with that?!?!?

Apple TV, iOS 7.0.4

The update failed to apply properly.
Connect it to a computer running iTunes via a microUSB cable and restore it.
