Hi!


It's unclear what you mean by Apple TV not working, but, I can try to point you in the right direction.


First, make sure all cables are properly plugged into the Apple TV. The middle cable is most likely your HDMI cable (90% of the time people use HDMI to connect these to their TV). So check the HDMI to ensure it's connected to the Apple TV and your TV itself. If that doesn't work, does the power light work on the Apple TV? If it isn't on, check that the power cable (Left side of cluster facing) is connected to an outlet and to the Apple TV.


Another common issue is your source - grab your actual TV remote, and open up the source switcher menu, and scroll through the HDMI sources (assuming you're on HDMI), until you find the one that your Apple TV is broadcasting to.


That's all I can think of. Good luck!
