i have discovered I have an issue with my Apple TV 3 that it won't load anything from my computer. It runs very slow doing anything. I have the latest update. iTunes is updated. I have reset the Network settings. Restarted numerous times including iTunes. Tried to do a full restore but it fails all the time. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Has Apple finally decided to force people to buy the newest Apple TV?
Got a tip for us?

Apple never bricks devices. Not to the "force" you to buy anything. That would be bad for business.
Anyways... I have had that issue in the past. My ATV 3 just would not update not restore via iTunes. What I ended up doing was wipe it and set up as new with my iPhone. Haven't had a problem since.
I have two Apple TV3's and they both still work fine, so nobody is trying to force me to buy a new one. 
If you're using wifi, can you try connecting it to your computer with ethernet? That might provide some clue as to what the problem is.
