Apple Update Error Broke my Apple TV

Hi People
Last Apple Update is Breaking Apple TV Model a1427, So be careful and dont update, i had to reinstall twice ipsw 5.3 hold menu + Vol Down, Then Menu + Play. Then Menu + Ok, thats the way i can reinstall ipsw 5.3 and have ATV working, i thing apple should be more careful with updates, because is making us lost a lot of time, learning to dodge the mistakes they make.
I called customer service and they told me they need to charge me with 50 dollars because my ATV was out of warranty, but the question is, if the update Apple sent is breaking my ATV why in earth do i have to repair it?
Follow the step mentiones above and your ATV will be back and running, but wait til next update to avoid, having a broken ATV and paying for be repared

What worse/better way to be able to say you had XX number of downloads or customers...
*Apple Pushes Unwanted Software to Windows Users - Again*
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 28th Sep 2009 16:18 UTC
If you have Apple's QuickTime media player and/or iTunes installed on your Windows machine, you might want to keep an eye on apple's Software Update tool. Apple is once again using the update tool to push unwanted software onto users' machines without asking for permission.
OSnews
the only other solution we can offer you is a simple one: uninstall the Apple Software Update program. The updater is not necessary to keep installed for any Apple software to work correctly on Windows.

I uninstall what I don't use, and the "don't check for updates" seems to works for me, and when I choose to update, it is stand-alone update. Also, take a look with msconfig and disable anything left running that the uninstall programs left.
However, I wouldn't call it nagware, not malware!

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.

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!

Is apple working of a fix for this update error. 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error? 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error: "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error. And what the heck are media sync options?
Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error. iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect. Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer. Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

Unable to update error tied to Unable to purchase error?

I have tried changing the DNS servers to both Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and openDns (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) and have had no luck updating to 5.1. I have tried multiple Wi-Fi connections. I haven't tried updating through itunes becase I havent had a chance to plus I just moved and don't have internet hooked up at my new house yet. I really don't want to have to wipe my iphone 4 just to download 5.1. I am wondering if this "unable to check for update error is tied in any way to the "Unable to purchase _______ and ___ other apps at this time error." I am interesed to know if anybody who is having trouble updating to 5.1 also gets the unable to purchase ___ error.

I have this problem too, I keep getting pop ups saying that my iPad 2 is unable to purchase certain things I haven't even purchased!
Plus I have been trying to download the 5.1 update since it was released last Wednesday with no luck, I keep getting the same unable to check for updates error message...
It's frustrating seeing as both my iPads and iPhone 4s and apple TV can't be updated... I don't want to have to alter any dns settings. Why should I have too!!!
Anyway how would changing the dns settings help an apple TV ?
It's about time apple let us know what's wrong!

How to resolve iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.2 Update Error 20

How to resolve iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.2 Update Error 20 Signing In Mac Apple store account after entering password buffers for awhile then error occurs retry repeatedly. Repaired permissions as instructed when opening iPhote App (cmmd+option+Open App shows repair and rebuild options did both) No resolution.
[this was migrated for me by Apple Genius bar techs that tested everything from macbook pro 17 snow leopard to new macbook pro 13 2012 to new iMac 21 2012 Mountain Lion.] this carried over from previous devices. Under Snow leopard did not need to always go through Mac Apple Store for updates.

Did you buy the version of iPhoto that was migrated by the geniuses from the Mac App Store or did this app originally come from a DVD? You cannot update the older DVD versions of the iLife apps with the Mac App Store versions. The DVD versions are updated through the Software Update facility in the Apple menu.

Adobe Update Error

So I have the CS5.5 Master Collection and I'm trying to do updates for the following programs:
Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5 (This update adds integration with the Adobe Product Improvement Program.)
Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 (This update includes Flex support for Apple iOS and BlackBerry Tablet OS devices, as well as fixing important bugs.)
Adobe InDesign CS5.5 (7.5.1 Update. This update provides key fixes in the areas of Text and PDF export.)
Photoshop Camera Raw (Update to the Camera Raw plug-in that ships with Photoshop CS5. Adds raw support for new camera models.)
And the error code I keep getting is as follows:
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D204
Anybody know what this error is? I've tried downloading these updates 3 times now.
Thanks for any feedback,

I to was whacked with the same download/update error when updating to the Prelude CC 2.0.1. But deleting the "1.0" folder didn't fix anything, same old, same old, no workie, workie. Below is the error in the log. The log complains about a size mismatch. The problem is not a size mismatch, it's a missing install package: C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\Install\AdobePrelude-2.0.0-Trial\2.0.1 \ ->the directory that supposed to contain the the download package is empty. While the Data directory contains the download file download information. This happened to two of my Windows 8 PCs so it's not me. So please, fix your software.

IPod problem - firmware update error. Disk write error.

I need your help! Ime just bought a new iPod 60 GB photo (with color display) but when I connected it for the first time to my PC (with Windows XP Home Edition SP 2) using USB 2.0 I got the message: iPod not readable. This iPod needs to be reformatted for use on your PC. Of course I decided to do that. The system had launched iPod updater. It asked me if I wanted to update or restore iPods software however the operation update was inactive (grey). So I choosed restore. Then a new window appeared: Firmware update error. Disk write error. On the iPods display a normal menu was replaced by exclamation mark. I tried to reset iPod, updated iTunes and iPods updater to the newest version and nothing. It still doesnt work. A folder with ! mark comes up. I try to restore once again and it says: Firmware update error. Disk write error.
Please help! What should I do to solve my problem? I want to add that my iPod is properly recognized by the computer system.
Unfortunately, its rather impossible to give back my iPod to the store. It was bought in the U.S.A. and I live in Poland.

b Firmware Update Failure Possible Solution
-- Disconnect the iPod
-- Right click on "My Computer"
-- Select "Manage"
-- Select "Device Manager"
-- Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
-- Right click on "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller"
-- Click on "Disable"
-- Click "OK" to accept changes
Run the Updater software (Start==>Run==>iPod) and wait till it says to "Plug in an iPod to update it"
Plug in the iPod and wait (for a long while). It takes awhile because you are now running at USB 1.1 speeds. When it finally shows up, do the "update" or "restore", which ever you were trying to do.
You can try to re-enable the "Enhanced PCI TO USB Host controller" after you are done running the Updater software and try to copy your songs and pictures to the iPod. This may or may not work. If not, revert back to USB1.1.

Firmware update error in 2 minute old ipod

Having just received a shiny new ipod back from apple service....i plug it in and it says it needs to be restored so i do!!
Now all the restore program says is firm ware update error after a very short time and the ipod shows the folder icon
Im seriously p*ssed off cos this has come straight from apple directly!!!
Is this an ipod problem or has my computer got some form of ipod virus or anti ipod problem???
Help Please I don't want to wait another 2 weeks
Dave

To save Mitch from alot of trouble trying to fix the error.
Go into 'My Computer', Right Click on any blank spot, Hit Properies. Click on the Hardware Tab, click the device Manager button, scroll down to Universial Serial Bus Controllers, click the plus. Do Any of them say 2.0 or Enchanced, if not, the firmware failure might be related to USB 1.1 .
If it does say Enchanced or 2.0 make sure the ipod is plugged into the back.
Firmware Failure Diskwrite Error(maybe a Update in there), is a somewhat of a general error, Can be connection issue related to how its connected, or it could be a problem with the iPods hard drive.
If still not working, time to test it on another PC(Or Mac) If you don't have one, go here:

Type in your Zip Code, It will list the closest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Providers.

Getting firmware update error. disk write error message

i installed the lastest ipod shuffle update and when I try to restore ipod shuffle I get the error message "firmware update error. disk write error" have no idea what to do. ipod does not show up in itunes

ok, someone else with similiar problem, I just opened the box 5 days ago, installed iTunes (the June 2005 version) that came on CD with it, ran iTunes, downloaded some music, plugged in Shuffle, goto download, fails, no device found, can see it under XP ok, goto apple.com to find support FAQ, I then ran up Ipod Updater, thinking that since it was new, firmware must be recent (little did I know ) so I thought do the Restore straight off, it started, then failed with the "disk write error" and havent been able to talk with iPod Updater since, then tried installing iPodUpdater to another PC, no luck, then downloaded later versions of iTunes and uPdater, installed on a 3rd PC, same deal, unable to communicate to Shuffle, rang phone support, spoken to two different support people, finally they agree its faulty (something I figured out 4 days ago) and suggest I return it to Apple for replacement, and fill out a Service Request form, which opened a can of new worms, like there is no "Warranty Replacement" option, lots of questions like Credit Card details and nowhere to actually define that I have a "faulty" or "dead" or Shuffle to return and they obviously did not read the comments, that were requested, as they simply sent docking station in the mail, so now back to square one, trying to lodge a Service Request to "replace" a brand new, dead shuffle. Not having a nice iPod experience here !!, but Itunes is good, although expecting it will take a couple weeks all up before I get a working Shuffle to actually download to. Tried again phone support, to sort out this mess, waited in queue, then line goes dead. Oh Well ... I blame my daughter for this heartache, she insisted on having an iPod.
