Apple TV update not rebooting?

I tried the new ATV update today and my ATV did not seem to reboot properly.
I unplugged it from power, replugged it, and saw a green screen with the iTunes logo and up arrow and a USB connector. 
It seemed to be asking my to attach to iTunes as you would an iPhone.
The unit is emitting a very fast blinking and the screen has turned black.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks so much for the tip.  Can you explain to me why it did not reboot properly?
Actually, I must admit that I left the Apple TV input to watch Tivo on another TV input, and when I returned, I got a black screen.
In any case, I will try this update using my laptop and the micro-USB.  I'll let you know how it works out.

  • Apple Software Update Not Working

    I cannot get Apple Software Update to work on my Windows XP Pro system. It simply says that new software was found but it did not specify which Apple software needs to be updated. I am using iTunes, QuickTime, and Safari. Any help appreciated!

    The latest version numbers (at the time I'm making this post) are:
    iTunes 10.6.3.25
    QuickTime 7.7.2
    Safari 5.1.7
    If you're behind on any of those, try updating using installers downloaded from the Apple website:

  • HT1600 Apple TV update not successful

    I'm trying to update my Apple TV (3rd generation) to 5.11. It keeps getting right near the end of the install, hangs for a couple of minutes, and says "update not successful". I restart the Apple TV like it asks ans get the same results. I've also rest settings and attempted a restore but nothing is working.

    Vladman,
    As far as I know the update breaks the ATV.  Doing restore from iTunes will make it revert to the old firmware.  You will have to rebuild it - wifi and what not.  I have not tried it again - waiting for the NEXT update before I try again.  This is the only method I have seen which works.
    Winston and the FeverDog posted these steps.
    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.
    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.
    Download the below file.  Get to the point of restore Apple TV and hold the option key down when you click on the Restore button.
    Browse to the downloaded file and restore.

  • Apple Software Updates not working properly

    Since I installed Yosemite OS X10.10 and then OS X10.10.1 I am having problems using Apple Updates. Some items install (usually not Apple products) other show up on the Items to Install list and never leave, although they also show up in the "Installed in the last 30days". These items quickly install or at least they say they are installed but they do not properly install and even though my computer shows that Safari 8.0.2 is installed, I am still running Safari 8.0. This is still going on and includes the most recent Security Update ver 1.0, Safari 8.0.2.  I was able to of to the apple web-site and download HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and Digital Raw Compatibility Update ver 6.02 which were acting in the same manner as the Apple software and I think they updated from the direct download but I can't be sure because I don't know where these files lives. Obviously there is a corrupted file in the Updates software or somehow I there are read/write, plist or some other issues going on. I really don't know where to go or what to do with this issue. Even the Apple certified tech who I had look at this and other problems said it was out of his league.

    Try resetting the App Store and Clearing Cookies.

  • Apple Software Update Noti

    I am very annoyed with the frequency with which notifications for software update pop up and bother a user from the Apple Notification Centre. Seeing the notification once or a few times is enough for one to register the update. Is there any way of switching this off?

    I tried from the website also. Still will not work!!

  • My apple tv is not working everytime i try to down load it stops and says error try again later i have updated credit card itunes and rebooted both and still wont work i am loosing my patience as i cant get any support for this

    my apple tv is not working every time i try to download a movie it says error try again later

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, ipod is not rebooting.  Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

    In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, my ipod is not rebooting.  It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
    A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad.  But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot

    After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot. It just spins at the white apple screen. Luckily boot camp works but, all of my important stuff is on the mac side. What can I do? I did not backup(I know that was bad), can I get my old settings and files back? What do I do?

    Try sig's suggestion first, then, if that doesn't fix it, try some of the fixes here:

    Some of them won't be relevant if you can't even boot, of course.

  • The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. I was update the iTunes software and it gave me that message. I ended up without iTunes and not I can't download info for my iPad.

    I tried to update my iTunes software for my iPad. I got the above message. iTunes did not install and now I no longer had iTunes at all.  I can't update my iPad software without it.
    I have tried Revo, CCleaner, COMODO, "find" in Regedit.  Nothing finds anything related to Apple Software Update.

    okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use it to remove the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update:

  • I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it.

    I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it. How do I fix this?

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

  • After updating from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, my MacBook Pro will not reboot.  Why?  What can I do about it?

    After upating from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, my MacBook Pro will not reboot.  Why?  What can I do about it?

    I ended up having to visit an Apple Store.  They claimed that the update must have aggravated an already corrupted hard disk drive.  The solution was to wipe my hard disk (fortunately I had recently backed up on Time Machine).  The "Genius" also claimed this was the first time he had come across the problem.  Although he was clearly able to diagnose it straightaway, and the next person he saw had exactly the same problem with his Mac, and I saw an awful lot of customers queuing up with their Macs and iMacs looking very suspiciously like they all had the same problem!  So clearly Apple know what the problem is but as usual treat customers as if they're idiots in order to cover up the problem.  But at least the problem is now solved (although having to take at trip out and wait in a queue at an Apple store, and then restoring from backups is a painstaking inconvenience I could well have done without).  All I can suggest is that you might as well take it in.  None of the "solutions" on the Forum are remotely on the ball, and all Apple "Geniuses" have clearly been told what the problem is and how to fix it.  Good luck!
