AppleTV software updates are downloading but fail to install.  Help

New Samsung Smart TV and Home Theatre system.  Also purchased new AppleTV.
When I go to AppleTV I get a message that new Software is available to download.  When I agree it takes a while but when completed I get a message that the software has failed to install.  Try again, but that never works either. 

May need to restore via iTunes

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

  • Adobe creative cloud shows update for photoshop but fails to install

    I recently downloaded the trial version of PhotoShop through the creative cloud app for my Microsoft surface pro3.
    The program seemed to completely install apart from at the end there was an update that failed.
    It still shows an update in the cc app but when you click on it, it attempts to install but fails.
    Any help?

  • OS X software update will download but not install

    I am using a MacBook Air, and am informed that a Software Update is available. 7 items - 1.63 GB are downloaded. The computer begins writing files, then the following message appears: "None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred." What can I do?

    This usually means a corrupted OS X installation, so I would try reinstalling OS X:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Try the  updates after you have reinstalled OS X.

  • Software updates are downloaded both in the cache and softwaredistribution folder

    Hello,
    For the server patching, we have created Software Update groups who are deployed on collections.
    These deployments are made 'available' and not required.
    My question is this one when I am logged on the server, I choose an update to install, the update is being downloaded to the CCMCACHE folder
    and to the \windows\softwaredistribution folder.
    Is this the normal behaviour ?
    Why is the update also downloaded in softwaredistribution ?
    I have checked the ContentTransferManager.log and the update has been downloaded from a distribution point, not from the internet.
    Is there anything that is not correctly configured ?
    I have attached a screenshot showing the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Marc

    Thank you for your answer.
    It's a pity that the cmcache is not used to install the updates, it's a waste of space (we still have very old servers with limited space). But ok, we will used a script to clean the folder from time to time.
    I took a better look at the windowsupdate.log and the update is really installed from the softwaredistribution folder.
    Thanks
    Marc.

  • There is a new Java update availible, however when i go to software update the download doesnt appear. someone please help!

    I know that there is a new java update available because when i go to java's website it tells me to go apple-software update because i have a macbook. however, when i do so it tells me all my software is up to date. Any help is much appreciated.

    Java support is changing.  Currently Apple is working on Java 6 for Macs and regularly releasing updates. There is a developer preview available but this is not recommended for regular users as it may contain unexpected bugs. The latest version for regular users is java version "1.6.0_24".
    Java 7 is currently under development, in a community effort led and co-ordinated by Oracle. This effort includes Java for Macs.  Once this happens it might be that you'll no longer get Apple Mac Java updates from Apple, but instead you'll get them from the same Java website as Windows and Linux users.  Whatever happens, Java will continue to be supported on Macs well into the future.

  • I purchased an iBook on my iPad air and all software updates are done but the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    I Purchased a book in iBooks on my iPad air with all updates complete 8.0.2 and the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    Tapping the icloud arrow should get it to download to your bookshelf and it should then get 'downloaded' against it in Purchased instead of the arrow. See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iBooks app via the device's taskbar and then re-open the app and re-try downloading it : iOS: Force an app to close.
    - soft-reset of the device : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
    - log out and back into your account : select the Featured tab in the app, scroll to the bottom of it, tap on your id and log out, and then log back in

  • Windows update keeps trying but fails to install HP enterprise WSD multi-function printer update

    I don't think we even need this update from Windows update but since upgrade to Windows 10, It keeps popping up as a failed update. I used to be able to HIDE unwanted updates.  On this new os, I don't see an option to do that and the Windows 10 help site is NO HELP. Do I really need this and how do I stop the update notices? Thank you

  • I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

    I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to  how I can fix this?

    If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
    To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
    Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

  • Adobe software trials download but fail to open

    Hello.
    I am having issues downloading Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I am working on a PC Windows XP, I’m guessing from 2004. Attempted to download Illustrator via Cloud. Tried opening the program; it loaded for a few minutes and then came up with the following message “This program has encountered a problem and needs to close. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
    Then downloaded InDesign with no assisting program – directly from the website. This also failed. I tried removing the program, then downloading it again in a different location but this didn’t help. I repeated this process many times, trying several different locations but no luck. The software will actually download, but will not open. When I attempt to download it, in the Adobe Download window (the destination download folder options), there is a yellow symbol with an exclamation mark next to ‘Adobe InDesign’ and the file size it will be.
    I thought there was not enough disk space but even after I tried clearing space the program did not open. I am fairly certain disk space is not the issue as my computer is telling me I have enough space for the InDesign Download.
    I also read somewhere that the reason why InDesign may fail to open is that the default printer may not be connected. I connected the default printer, downloaded the program again and the problem was not rectified.
    I also have tried downloading Adobe Photoshop and in the destination download folder options, the yellow exclamation symbol does not appear. However, this program too crashes after I open it. Unlike with InDesign, I get to Photoshop’s menu system but after a couple of minutes loading it comes up with the message: “This program has encountered a problem and needs to close. We apologise for any inconvenience.” Someone pointed out on another forum that I needed to download SP3 which I did, and Photoshop ran for about 6 hours before crashing.
    Have tried downloading Illustrator but will load for a few moments before crashing.

    Cecliicious4 to confirm you did upgrade on April 8 to Windows XP Service Pack 3 per your previous discussion at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1187050 correct?
    If so then you may also want to look at the system requirements for Photoshop and InDesign, you can reference them at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html, and verify there are no additional system requirements which have not been met.
    You may also want to do additional maintenance on your system to verify you are not running into overheating issues which could be causing the computer to crash.  I mention this since you have indicated you are attempting to install the latest Adobe Creative Software on a 9 year old computer.  The amount of dust inside the case, if never cleaned, could cause all kinds of unpredictable effects similar to what you have described above.
    Finally you can verify the installation was completed successfully by reviewing your installation logs.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    i want to update my ipad2 when i used to download the os it shows error as network timed out and i repeated again and again always it shows that network timed out but the apps are downloading but large apps are't why?

    Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
