Apple TV Latest upgrade is buggy help!
I have the latest Apple TV (the little black box) and it has been working so well that I forget that it is there and just rent movies and watch them and never have any problems, well that was until the latest upgrade! Now it is so buggy! Most of the time I have to restart it before I watch anything or it just stalls. Even then a movie or TV show never plays without it stopping for sometime before it can play. Most of the time I just get an error and have to restart my modem, and wireless network. Something I never had t do before. I have no unplugged the box and put it away it is just way to annoying and time consuming. I watch Netfix now on my PS3 on the same network without any problems.
Here is my setup.
Apple’s Wireless network
Very fast Cable internet connection. 100 mips
LG Flatscreen 42 inch TV
Same thing happend to me. I finally went to Best Buy and purchased another $20 cable (I have a box full of apple cables because they like to change them often). It's a USB to micro. I unpluged the apple tv and pluged in the cable. Then I plugged the power back in. I opened iTunes and ran the update. After 15 minutes, it gave an error. Then I unpluged the power from the Apple TV and ran the update again. Now it's ready for the login. But Wait. Now it's not accepting my password for the wireless network. I've wasted hours and still no success.

Apple TV ( latest ) Upgrading the software but appear to be stuck in a loop. Upgrade seemed to go through until I was invited to connect my box to a blue icon with a music note in it ( itunes ?) .It is now stuck with the white light flashing ! Help !
Just finally called Apple and talked with representative, very nice. Said she had been getting this question all day. She told me to connect a micro usb cable (don't have one, on my way to buy one) from apple tv to laptop and connect itunes. Needs to be factory reset and then start again. Hope this works. All I wanted was Apple Radio.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
I tried to download the latest upgrade and I got a message telling me "The application or DLL ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple/Applie Application Support\ApplePushService.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." and then below that another message "iTunes was no installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193). I tried reinstalling and it still will not work.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I have old MacBook running OS 10.6.8 I was told in Apple Genius Bar that I need a code from apple support to upgrade to 10.7. Apple support will not help because I am have their support plan. Can some one help?
hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop - I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ? = under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

Ive bought Apple TV and upgrade my macbook air Os X ver 10.8.2 but i could not see the airplay on the top menu bar . please help! thank you.
The ability to use AirPlay is BOTH an OS requirement(Mountain Lion) AND has hardware requirements. You need to check and see if your 2010 Air will support Airplay.

I have a mid 2009 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?
As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
ThanksSo by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate. -
TS1967 I downloaded the latest upgrade of iTunes. Now iTunes won't open at all.
I just downloaded the latest upgrade of iTunes (v64). It seemed to download without problems but now IT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi jowirosales,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few possible reasons why iTunes does not recognize your iPod. See this article for in-depth troubleshooting steps that can help:

All the best,

Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.
Thanks b noir,
I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated. -
Some Widget does not work after latest upgrade
Today is July 23rd, 2011. By recent latest upgrade, mainly for supporting Lion, where I am still using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, some widget does not work, including Battery Meter, Digital Clock Alarm, Victoria Digital Clock, etc.
By the way, my company use Chatter and I installed Chatter Desktop. Again, after recent upgrade, it no longer work anymore.
Do you experience the same problem?
For those who has upgraded to Lion, do you also find some widget does not work?I have read a couple of complaints like that, but not sure it's widespread.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
If that does NOT help, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
If that does NOT help then I suspect the optical drive or media itself, or possibly just needs a cleaning CD run on it. -

Latest upgrade of itunes doesn't start up more than once per boot.
Since the latest upgrade (can't tell what version without rebooting my laptop), iTunes will only start up once per uptime session. If I plug in my iPod Touch, it will start up automatically just once, or if I start by selecting the Start Menu item to run iTunes, it will only start up once. After iTunes is closed, I must reboot the PC if I want to use iTunes. This is with Win7, but it takes me back to the early days of Win95 or ME - ahhh what memories! I'm glad that I can look at that as being in the past, but when it happens right now, I'm not particularly glad.
I can see that the iTunes Helper is running, and even iTunes.exe is running, but there's no program window visible, no icon in the tray... it's not running as far as I can see, and it's not very useful in that state. I can't see any way other than this of letting Apple know that they've trashed the new version of iTunes as far as my computer is concerned. It's just rather unhandy to have to reboot each time after I've finished using iTUnes. As a friend of mine used to say, there's nothing so unhandy as a handy thing that doesn't work...
Help?
Blessings,
DuffAnd that's true for the latest version as well - no change. The process never goes away after I close iTunes - it just hangs around slowly getting bigger and bigger memory-wise. Plug in my iPod Touch, and nothing happens - no synch, nothing. If I kill off the process, then plug in the iPod, iTunes does start up, but it just hangs there, and never becomes truly running and useful. So, I don't know what "fix" broke my iTunes, but it's still requiring a reboot to get it working after it's been used once and closed. At least Win 7 boots pretty quickly on my laptop...
