2nd Gen. TV will not update

Have in the past successfully updated our Apple TV, 2nd generation, to v 4.3.  No problem.
Tried tonight to upgrade to v 4.4, but when I go to General > Update Software I get <Your Apple TV is up to date>.
Apple TV says I am running v4.3 and that my signal strength is 4 o/o 5.
Everything else on the TV works fine:  connects to my computer, plays my iTunes,  my photos, and AirPlay works on my iPhone.
Anyone else seeing this/had this problem?  No luck Googling the problem.

EH Bob,
Apparently, Apple removed v4.0 and released 4.0.1 for after removing it again. See other post about that on the community.

  • HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4

    my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:

    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • 2nd Gen iPod will not charge in Windows 7 machine.

    My 2nd Gen ipod will sync to iTunes just fine, but will not charge.  Windows 7 shows a problem (yellow triangle) in Devices.  I've got the latest Windows Updates, iTunes version, and iPod update.  It works fine with our Windows Vista machines, just not my newer Win 7 laptop.  What is going on?

    Is the iPod being plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 machine?  Are there any other USB devices plugged into the Win 7 machine? If so, remove them, reboot the machine and reconnect the Shuffle.

  • 2nd gen ipod will not work or neither of 2 computers will recognize it

    My Daughters nano 2nd gen just stopped working, it will not do anything, "froze" up solid as she says.
    I have gone through the "5Rs" but nothing will make the ipod show any life and nothing seems able to make the computer see the ipod. I can't do the "restore" option because the computer needs to acknowledge the ipod to complete that step.
    I have 2 computers and neither computer recognizes the ipod at all. i have read all the troubleshooting tips, all the tips in the discussions any other suggestions, we are 4 hours away from an "Apple Store"
    I am really new to this iPod world, and it appears there is nothing to friendly about it when it comes to this,

    I am also having a similar problem when i try to connect my ipod it comes up with the error message "the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes to install the ipods software."
    i ran itunes diagnostics and it said that itunes helper is not running.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes many times doing the full uninstall as outlined on the support page. I have also tried installing an older version of itunes but this did not work either. I checked msconfig and ituneshelper.exe is selected to load at startup but when i check task manager it is not there.
    Is there any way to fix this problem. I have been trying for two whole days to sort this. I have tried the ipod on other computers and it works fine so i am certain there is nothing wrong with the ipod.

  • Apple TV (2nd gen) suddenly will not let me get onto network.

    I have tried resetting my Apple TV  and router; I can usually see the network name when I go to connect, but it will not connect when I put in password. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I have Windstream internet service and recently made some changes with the internet service, so I am guessing a configuration is off somehow. Apple TV will let me to go Troubleshooting but only tells me things to check; will not let me into the IP Address settings etc. I am stumped.

  • ITunes 7 does recognize 30gb 5th gen and will not update to 1.2

    Upgraded to iTunes 7, program no longer recognizes 30GB 5th gen. Windows does pick it up. So, I plug it in, explorer window for removeable drive appears, iTunes does not launch. With iTunes open, explorer window opens and there is no effect in iTunes.
    By restarting the Windows iPod service, plugging in the iPod and launching iTunes manually I am able to sync the library. At this point I am prompted to update iPod to software version 1.2. If I choose to, iTunes seems to begin the updating process, but within 10 seconds the iPod becomes safe to disconnect and is effectively ejected from iTunes. The progress bar indicating the software update continues indefinitely (I have let it run for over an hour like this, nothing actually happens.)
    I reverted back to iTunes 6.x and all issues ceased. However I would like to be able to use version 7 and update to the newest iPod software 1.2. I have tried everything else in the "iPod recognized by Windows but not iTunes topic" and nothing seems to get me anywhere.
    There has been no loss of functionality of the iPod, the only issues are with iTunes recognizing it.
    I am kind of at a loss here.

    OK, I've had a similar problem and spent a few weeks banging my head off my desk in frustration. The iTunes 7 "upgrade" effectively made anything connected to my USB 2 ports unrecognized by Windows. After a lot of forum searching, following all relavent Apple help articles and such, I was no further along. I finally got up and running again, but I have to use iTunes 6, which means I cannot upgrade the iPod software. I'm waiting for a few updates down the road before I upgrade again. Be sure to create a system restore point before trying to upgrade again! I can't stress this enough! Anyway, to see the steps I went through to eventually solve my problem (and hopefully yours) go here:

    It's my opinion that with a lot of users, iTunes 7 corrupts the windows registry somehow... C'mon, Apple, fix this buggy piece of crap already! As it stands, the only reason I use it is for my iPod, otherwise I rip, burn, organise, and tag with Musicmatch... no worries so far with that...

  • First Gen. iPad Will Not Update Past 4.2.1

    My boss has a first generation iPad (model MC349LL) and has never updated the software. We are trying, through iTunes to update the software from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1; however, we receive an error message stating "iTunes could not contact the iPad software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again." Our internet connection is active on both computers and the iPad. We have tried to update on five different computers and still receive the same message. Each computer is equipped with iTunes version 11.3.0.54. We have gone through the iPad and reset all settings, network settings, and erased all content and settings. Obviously, he is out of the complimentary "Apple Support" period, we are quite far from the closest Apple store, and upgrading to a more recent model is not an option for him. Any ideas on how to update would be appreciated.

    You should erase the iPod (settings>GeneralReset>Erasase all Content and Settings) or connect to iTunes and restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • HT4623 In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an updates choice. Anybody know anything about this?

    In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

    An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation  and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.

    my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
