Apple TV 2 stuck updating Software

Last night my ATV notified me there was a software upgrade and I accpted it - it went to about 30% complete in 20 min or so and has been stuck there for over 12 hours - teh screen cearly says to not unplug the Apple TV during upgrade. Remote control does nothing except blink the light. What do you suggest I do?

Same for me.  ATV update stuck at around 75%.  I searched the forum, found this thread and did the same thing as others (unplugged - plugged in), rebooted fine, I manually started update again and this time went through relatively quickly:
Step 1: Preparing Update..    (about 7 minutes)
Reboot
Step 2: Applying Update...    (about 4 minutes)
Works fine

  • How do I setup an Apple Id account to update software without a credit card?

    I setup an iCloud account and now I do not have a 'none' option for payment type.  This is a business computer, so I can not put a credit card on the account.  But without a credit card to put in the Apple Id account, I can not update much of the software, even though it was pre-installed on the laptop and not purchased through the App Store.

    Answer is not applicable and alas not even correct.
    Not applicable because it was asked how to do it with an existing account...
    Not even correct because:
    I've read that manual & I tried: there is NO OPTION to select None, whatever way I try.
    Perhaps there is an issue with the newer iPod Touch OS version (tried this on a brand new iPod, iOS version 5.0.1)?
    And I already have an account & I can also not change that one's payment options to None.

  • Bought used macbook pro old user's id keeps appearing in update software and greyed out so i can't change it to mine

    Used macbook pro late 2011 model, under the 'Apple' when i clik 'update software' it goes to apple site with greyedout previous user's email address asking for their password, not my newly registered macpro and appleid.  How can I change this as previous user has now unregistered laptop?  upgraded to maverick os.

    What you are entitled to is the MBP and the original OS that the MBP came with which is Lion and the associated applications. 
    In order to install Lion, you will have to boot your MBP with the OPTION COMMAND R keys held down.  That will connect you to the Apple servers and they will check your MBP.  A 4 option menu will appear.  Select the Lion installation option and install Lion. 
    Now your MBP will be registered in your name and you may open your own Apple account.  If you want Mt. Lion, then you will have to purchase it from the Apple online store.
    Ciao.

  • I tried restoring my Ipad 2 and when it was trying to update the new software, this thing pops up saying an error has occured cannot update software. My ipad is still stuck on the apple logo.

    I tried restoring my ipad 2 and when its trying to extract the new software this pop up appears on the screen and says ERROR: cannot update software or something. My ipad still doesnt return to the home screen. It's still stuck on the apple logo. I only had this for a year. Is it broken?

    If your ipad had no problems before, then it is your computer then may fail you. Try to restart computer and ipad.Try to disable antiviruses. If that happens again and you have apple store close by you can set up appointment, or try another computer.

  • Apple update software for windows 7 X64 ultimate

    so apple support update pops up and says "HEY! YOU HAVE UPDATES!"  for quicktime and itunes.. problem is when i tell it to update the window just flickers.. it will not update, nor will it let me manually update quicktime.. i previously fixed itunes as it also had an issue letting me manually add/remove itunes.. i barely got that fixed.. but i can now manually update itunes.. however i need help locating all the files for apple support update software so that i can re-install it, and perhaps the same information for quicktime, as again i cannot manually install or remove quicktime period right now..
    nothing shows up in ccleaner, pc clean up or even when i run sfc /scannow in cmd..
    i'm so tired of dealing with these problems.. some help would be awesome.. thank you.

    okay so after a lonnng day.. this is where i remain stuck: my apple software update says i need too update too 11.1.3 and i already have it installed.. if i tell it too install it'll go through the downloading and installing too just end up back too the same screen telling me there is a new update out.. what file is the updater not seing? augh.. and why do these forums not have a delete option?

    i recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode.  Please help

    If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty.   Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.

  • Stuck on "verifiying updated software"

    Ok, I tried to update to the new iphone version 2.1 and it completely messed it up...
    After I downloaded it and installed it, it was stuck on a step called "verifying updated software". My iphone completes every step but right when it gets to the verifying part, it acts like it isnt even plugged in. So now everytime I turn on my phone, it takes me to the screen where it is asking me to plug it in to itunes....
    Any help on this would be nice...

    I'm not sure what it's going to take to get someone to take this issue seriously but the fix mentioned, and it has been mentioned numerous times, does NOT fix this problem!
    My phone will ALWAYS lock up at the restore point. It will sit there for over an hour before going into the endless loop of "verifying updated software". This happened on my 2G phone (let it loop for 16 hours before pulling the plug) and now happens on my 3G phone (been looping for 7 hours already today; just pulled the plug). This is my 3rd or 4th post about this. There is an issue and no one seems to know how to get those of us with this specific problem back to working again. NONE of my iPhone's have been able to do a new software update without locking the phone up on this endless loop.
    So, after 2 phones and a LOT of frustration and patience, how do I fix my problem? I give my phone to a friend who has a Mac and he restores it to the latest software. Then, I plug the phone back into my computer (PC, XP) and it pulls the information from the backup.
    To me this is an unacceptable workaround. It is frustrating and renders the phone useless until I can get to my friend with the Mac.
    ANY ideas that have nothing to do with USB ports, reading manuals, reading threads or taking the phone back to Apple, would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • I purchased original software with another apple id. how can i access the old apple id in order to update software

    I purchased my macbook air and pre-installed software under my work apple id number. i have been unable to update software on this computer with my home apple id. how can i switch to my work id so that i can install upgrades to original software?
    Thanks

    You can only update software using the same Apple ID it was purchased from.
    And just so you are aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged >  Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

    I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes.  Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

    I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
