    Ok Bud, I'm in the UK looking for an answer to different question but ended up here,

    sorry, just seen after what I had written you are still on snow leopard, I think  that might be your problem I will write it anyway

    I have iMac desktop, iPad mini, iPad Air 2, Time Capsule and Apple TV 2nd, I keep them all up-to-date

    If I was you I would unplug Apple TV no matter what it's doing, and leave it alone for a while, depending how you feel about your run system either restart or shut down and restart your Mac then try and restart Apple TV almost certainly you should do a slow reboot on your router before starting anything else up.

    Good luck

    Apple TV was discontinued a long time ago and there haven't been updates for years.

     

    If you have the little black box then that would be a 2nd or 3rd gen. You will need to grab a micro usb cable and restore via iTunes
