My 3rd gen Apple TV is unresponsive, cannot connect to Apple restore server.
I have tried connecting it to iTunes to restore it. iTunes recognizes it but when I click through the restore sequence it shows "downloading 1 item" and shows 20 hours remaining etc. Nothing ever happens. I have tried resetting the ATV, to try and reach the restore setting on the ATV menu, but it is completely unresponsive. I am using the micro/USB cable which came with my Samsung Phone. It transfers photographs okay to my PC so I am assuming it can carry data. I have tried turning off the Windows Firewall, reinstalling iTunes, using another PC all to no avail.
