Apple tv updating problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community NTotakhil.
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 Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Apple Software Update problem on Windows 8

Hope this helps. -
Apple TV problems after last update. Can't access movie previews or Vimeo. Can access youtube though. Connection speed is good. Could apple write a patch for this issue? I see many many other people have the same issue but as yet there doesn't appear to be a fix. Have already tried their 'solution' to no avail!
Solved this by looking at a different discussion. We pressed 'down' and 'menu' on the AppleTV at the same time and held them down. Had to do this several times, then got a message to say we needed to restore using a micro usb cable. We bought a micro usb cable from Maplins for £9. Attached AppleTV to computer using cable with ITunes open and restored to factory settings. ITunes also then said AppleTV was updated. Then had to plug back into TV and go through set-up procedure as when new. Lost nothing except a few settings - like how you want photos displayed, but now working perfectly. Also talked tp Apple Care about home sharing and apparently ICloud had some problems on Friday which is why photo stream hadn't picked up all the new photos we'd put on. That's now working OK too.

HT202157 Apple TV update problems - hanging.
Trying to update apple TV but it's been over 2 hours and it seems to be stuck. Staus bar is 75% updated. Message reads " Step 1 of 2: Preparing update...Do not unplug your apple TV while updating."
Hello Cap5,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
Open iTunes on your computer
Connect your Apple TV to a computer:
Apple TV (2nd generation): Connect one end of the micro-USB cable to the back of your Apple TV, and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports.
Apple TV (3rd generation): Connect one end of the micro-USB cable to the back of your Apple TV, and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports. Connect the power cable from your Apple TV to a power outlet.
Click Restore Apple TV from the Apple TV summary page. This step may take some time, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.
Note: If you don't see the above screen in iTunes, it may be necessary to choose Apple TV from the upper right of the iTunes window.
During the restore, do not unplug any cables.
After the restore process completes and the Apple TV icon disappears from iTunes, disconnect the micro-USB and power cables (if applicable), then reconnect to your TV with HDMI and power cables.
Best of luck,

Hi, my Software Updates stopped working, it starts, but with something like 5% of checking new updates completed, it stops, and stays like that, nothing appears, any one have anything like this?
it's a macbook white, nothing outside normal installed.See if this helps.
First:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Second:
Fix for Software Update
See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist
"xxx" is a number.
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder) -

Not able to access Itunes store anymore. Just quit working for no reason. I've tried deleting Itunes and related components from the Control Panel, but when I try to remove Apple Software Update, I get a message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". Not sure what this message means. Am I suppose to contact Apple ? What is meant by package vendor ?
Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait

A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. ?? I can't uninstall the Apple Software Update from my Control Panel. It states "Fatal error during installation" Please HELP!!!
I am experiencing the exact same issue during the installtion process for iTunes 10.5.
I uninstalled all Apple components but when I attempted to uninstall the Apple Software Update I received the same message: "Fatal error during installtion." I was able to repair the Apple Software Update but still could not install iTunes 10.5 afterwards.
I have tried everything that I could find on these discussions pages as well as other suggestions on third party sites. I continue to receive the error message: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
I was able to uninstall and reinstall QuickTime 7.7.1. During the reinstalltion process I received the same message (There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.) But after clicking "OK" the installtion process was succesful. PLEASE HELP! -

My itunes stopped working. I uninstalled/reinstalled. But it would not complete reinstall. Started with Quicktime not loading. I have tried to install Quicktime individually. Still nothing. I now am trying to uninstall ALL itunes/Apple to attempt reinstall. But the Apple Software Update will not remove. I get the error :THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN. CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR.
Hey madnest,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty installing iTunes in Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Any Ideas of how to solve this one?After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -
Have a problem with Home Sharing with Apple TV and iTunes. Have latest iTunes and Apple TV downloads. Have both items set up for home sharing with same address and passwords. AppleTV running fine for everything else. FYI, my library is about 60gigs. AppleTV model is MD199LL/A if that matters. Really want to hear my entire music library and not just Purchased items. Thanks for any help!!!
I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

hi guys i got problem apple software Update
i got masage
.The feature you trying use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package i Tunes.msi' in the box below
and i cant find anything please helpThis forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum. You'll need to include more details, including the version of Windows you have, before anyone can do more than guess as to the problem.
