I've got an Apple TV that does not work. I have bought a micro USB cable and connected my Mac Book to the apple TV, but i can't connect to the TV. What do I do wrong?

Make sure you're following the steps exactly (remove all cables, connect micro USB, if it's a 3rd gen ATV you need to reconnect power). Connect directly to computer. Try a different cable, make sure it's capable of data transfer (not just charging)

Make sure the cable you have purchased is for transferring data and not just for charging and make sure you have followed the instructions below.

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 then to your computer.
3. Reconnect the power cable (omit this step for Apple TV 2)
4. Open iTunes.
5. Select your Apple TV in the Devices list (which can be found below the volume slider near the top of the iTunes window), and then click Restore.

If your Apple TV fails to restore through iTunes……..

• Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
• If not already, try using a powered USB port.
• Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
• Repeat the process with another cable.
• Try restoring the Apple TV on another computer in another location.
