Airplay: no image, only sound! And can't update the system in my Apple TV (2 generation).

When I try to use Airplay from my Ipad 3 or Iphone 5 to my Apple TV (2 generation) it only plays the sound!

I've tried to update the system but I always get a message that it's not available right now, try it later. Any clue?

AppleTV 2

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:


  1. Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List)
  2. Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
  3. Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
  4. Open iTunes.
  5. Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
