But when I reconnected the Apple TV box to the TV, it rebooted and I arrived at the 'Select a Language screen'. So this morning I followed the last resort instructions and did a total restore via iTunes with a micro USB cable. I never saw the 'chain' the instructions said I would see. Tried the pairing and unpairing the remote thing, but it was almost like the Apple TV box didn't react to anything I did - the screen was still frozen and nothing happened. It came back up to the menu screen, but the remote wouldn't do anything.
Tried pulling the power cord and waiting, plugging it back in. I went to Apple's site and did the troubleshooting. The light on the Apple TV box didn't change, or blink, no matter what button I hit. It wasn't a blank screen, it was still on the 'play' screen for the show I had been watching earlier in the day.įirst thing I did was change out the battery in the remote, but that did nothing. I turned on Apple TV to watch some Netflix last night and nothing on the remote was working.
