Apple tv 2.3 will not update to 3.0
Hey everyone... I have an Apple tv that will not update to version 3.0 event though i can watch Youtube from it and it has a solid connection. I get a message:
There is no update available.
Apple TV can't check right now. Try again later.
So if someone can help me with that and also try and explain this to me... I am going to leave the TV connected to the Internet and a big tv set on the top floor of the house... There are many other computers and screens throughout the lower floors and a large database as well... If I connect a Mashine running Itunes and then convert a lot of the stuff is there I can use the Apple tv to stream content to the other computers and screens?
Welcome to the Discussion Forums.
Try a factory restore or check that the router isn't blocking any ports used by the tv.
See the ports required by the Apple TV
The tv will not stream to any other device.

Apple TV3 and TV2 will not update to 5.2
Same problem that seems to happen with every update. Brand new Apple TV is stuck at "Step One of Two." Same with old Apple TV 2. It will not update via wi-fi or ethernet cable. It will not update via iTunes. iTunes reports that the downloaded file is corrupted. Downloading the software at mirror sites and trying to use iTunes to update from the downloaded file also gives a report that the downloaded file is corrupted. Downloading 5.1.1 and attempting a restore from that file just hangs. I ran that all night with no progress.
Both Apple TVs display severe artifacts on the screen, including screen freezing while the sound continues -- even on completely downloaded movies. The movies are basically unwatchable.
Apple has been unable to fix these problems for years, now. I have an extensive iTunes movie library which is worthless because DRM prevents watching the movies using any other device. The way I see it, either give me an Apple TV that actually works or refund the money I spent on my iTunes movies.
Between this and the stupid MacBook Pro wi-fi problems I may never buy an Apple product again.OK. I solved my issue. Before changing your address on your Apple ID, you MUST be signed out of iCloud and iTunes on your phone! If your old email keeps reappearing on your phone (and is grayed out), you'll have to go to your computer and change address back to the OLD address. Then, go back to phone and either (1) sign out or (2) remove the iCloud and/or iTunes apps which are opened - (which you'll be prompted to use old email address to verify). Finally, go back to computer and change email address back to the new one. You'll then be able to set up apps on phone using the changed email address.
Ugh, it took a while, but it worked! -
After the latest update by apple Netflix and gmail will not update just says waiting
I cannot update Netflix and gmail it has beeb saying waiting for two days
Hello there, mayoung22.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting the issue you are describing:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
HT2463 Apple TV 3rd gen will not update software. Hard wired to router. AT&T U-verse Internet.
Looking for any suggestions on this. I've tried restarting/restoring options. I've restarted my modem and router. During the update process, it always stalls on part 1 of 2.
The problem could be the ethernet connection. Try using the wi-fi connection to your network. There is a bug in 5.1 that prevents the update from working with certain routers. The bug is fixed in 5.1.1, so you can go back to the ethernet connection after the update.

I have a 2010 macbook pro 2010 13.3" laptop that will not update from 10.6.3
I have an Apple macBook pro that will not update at all. It is a 13.3 model the initial load is 10.6.3. The battery is dead as well and the pram seems to not hold as well, time reset even when plugged in on restart. any update leads to the spinning wheel freezing, and i mean freeze even the dvd drive stops working completely. Any ideas?
You can update to higher versions of Snow Leopard by applying the combo updates, anyway. Your predicament may come from the fact that a prior update didn't install properly, and is blocking the install of other updates. You should download the combo updates from Apple's website, and apply them.
You'll find the 10.6.8 update here. You'll still have to apply the various security updates that have been released since, if any. -
my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update. It crashes every time I try to do an update. I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple. Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash. This mac book is less than a month old.
That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

Hello people,
I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?
Thanks
<Email Edited By Host>You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
My itunes will not update. I get a message that is saying that MSVCR80.II Is missing from your computer, Try reinstalling to fix this problem. So when i tried to reinstall, it says itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall error 7 (windows err 126) Then when i tried to reinstall i get this....Service applemovile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveledges to start service...the I see abort, retry and ignore....when I hit retry, it sill fails and i get the same message again. How do I fix it? Will I lose all my music if I delete it all and reinstall itunes? I haven't tried that yet.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

So, my IPod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. As this would void my device from Apple. I love the features iOS 6 has to offer but I don't want to put out anymore money. IPods are expensive enough, Should I use blobs? Or would that make my device worse. Plus I do not want to pay $20.00 for a chat and have to wait all day to someone who I can't understand on the telephone. someone help me please.
For the slowness:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the case, what do i do?
Which iPhoto version and MacOS X version did you update from? Did you previously have iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks installed or earlier versions?
Did you use a different Apple ID when you set up the Mac? If iPhoto came preinstalled, it will be bound to the apple ID you first used, when you set up your Mac. -
My Apple TV will not update to the latest software, dose anyone know what the problem is, I've reset, tried to do it wirelessly as well as while connected via Ethernet cable.. Both have resulted in the same message!! Update unsuccessful, current software version is 5.1 (5201) . I've rented a movie recently and does not appear in my movie list, but I have been charged for this movie, can someone help me out with these issues.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted. -
The apple software updater will not update
the apple software updater will not update the following apps
iTunes
Quicktime player
iCloud
<Re-Titled By Host>There is a tech note on what to do when an install or update fails.
Often due to prior copies and cache of those on your system.
Some you have to uninstall but it will leave behind files and folders that then have to be manually removed.
Clone Windows just in case.
Run chkdsk
Cleanup
Use CCleaner or similar and repair the Registry might help too.
I just did a clean install Windows 10 Preview, and the one app I most feared installing installed and seems to be fine, iTunes 12.01+

Muy iphone 4 will not update apps. In trying to do so, it goes directly to the app. I have read pages and pages on this same issue in Apple support communities, and have tried the suggested solutions to no avail. Why is Apple support not addressing this issue?
I believe this issue was addressed in a software update. If your signature is accurate, you are about five updates behind
