ATV Update

Since I installed the latest atv update I can't play most of the music videos on my atv, all i get is sound and no picture. Any ideas?

I have tried both sync and stream, i have also restarted and reinstalled atv software, it is just a problem with music videos. They play fine when i uninstall the latest update. Thanks for getting back to me

ATV Update causing TV to switch to HDMI input when switched on

I have a Panasonic TX32LXD70 with my ATV connected using HDMI, the TV is set to go to the DVB-T tuner when switched on.
Before the "Take 2" update this worked fine but since upgrading when you turn the TV on it switches to ATV after about 10 seconds even if the ATV is in standby.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and managed to disable it ?
Thanks, Rob

sounds more like a tv issue as hdmi does not native support changing the input sources of tvs

Black screen mirroring after ATV update

hi, I need help, I just bought my ATV, and it mirrored my IPad just fine, then it asked me to update the ATV software, now it just give me sound but no mirror??? Only a black screen. Help please!

I have the same problem. After restarting the iPad, mirroring will work for 2 or 3 times and then after that I get a black screen on the TV.
It is not a router issue because my iPhone and MCP all work fine sending to ATV repeatedly. It's just the iPad that is having this issue, the one place I really need the capability.
I've tried everything suggested on other threads with this topic. The only thing that works is rebooting the iPad, but the problem crops up after 2-3 uses. I really need to be able to turn mirroring on/off repeatedly like I can on other devices.

Unable to Stream After ATV Update???

So i updated, as you do.
After the update was complete, add shared iTunes library in Computers section.
Punched in my code, only 2 tabs come up in iTunes for the device,Summary,and Photos.
Go back to the ATV and try to connect to my library (which i can see and is not grayed out).
It won't connect, it displays: "ATV is connected to library for streaming. To see its content, choose shared movies, shared TV shows, shared music, shared podcast, or shared photo's in the main menu"
Go back to the main menu in iTunes (this is the main menu its talking about, right??) and as i said above the only tabs displayed for that device is Summary and Photo's.
I have tried selecting photo's to stream in that tab menu, as it asked me to do, clicked apply and still it comes up with that message on the ATV.
I can't work it out!!! Any idea's??
Thanks for your help everyone.

The streaming is different now in new version. That message you said you saw just says, you don't stream from there anymore. Just go back to your menu (music, video, photos, etc) and then there is a submenu item (or right) for "Shared xxx" When you pick that, it will show all the connected iTunes computers that are up. There you pick which one to go to. So to stream, you just go to the "Shared xxx" option in any menu for content. You don't have to go access it via computers like before.

I can not get my mac to Airplay to ANY of my 3gen aTV. I can see them on my network, but when I try and connect it "pin wheels" the my monitor switches resoltution for about 10 seconds... then goes back and nothing happens... This didnt happen till I updated mt aTV's to the latest update... help or thoughts on fixing this?

ATV Updated to 6.2.1, now won't connect to library

Just updated my ATV (3rd gen) to 6.2.1. Everything works EXCEPT connecting to my library. I can play from the computer over ATV through AirPlay, I can connect to Netflix, the ATV even shows up in the side bar on iTunes. It won't connect to the library though. I get the error telling me to make sure it's on the same network (it is) and that iTunes is on (it is).
I've unplugged the unit twice, the second time I let it set for a while before re-plugging it in. Still nothing.
Thoughts?
Side note: Why whenever Apple updates anything does it stop working? Just a thought.

If on wifi try connecting via ethernet
Make sure port 123 is open on router and that its up to date
Toggle home sharing off/on via ATV and iTunes

Most recent ATV update for a version 2-(I think).

I keep getting the message "The Update was not successful. Restart and try again.” whenever I turn on my ATV.
I have tried multiple downloads - they show to be downloading and once the update progress screen attempts to start I get the failure message.
I have tried wired and wifi modes, the DNS trick I found here in the forums (seems to download fine no matter what DNS I put in).
I have been trying a multitude of ways to get it to download AND install with no luck.
Information shows version 6.1.
Any suggestions of next step?

I have the DNS currently in Auto as well I have manually set the DNS to three different settings all with the same results as in Auto mode.
I did a Restore last night and just turned it on again tonight with the same message coming up.
Currently beyond the warning message I am having no known issues. Just want the message to go away…..after the update of course.

Latest ATV update seems to have worked...

I had been having a ton of problems with my downstairs ATV over the past month or so. It would continually drop out of itunes, and even restarting itunes wouldn't work. I tried a factory reset. Syncing would take up to 24 hours. Just really bad.
I did the check for updates and updated the software on the ATV with whatever changes were newest, and it seems to have worked. I've had itunes open for 24 hours and the Living Room ATV is still showing up on it. And I was able to stream some content somewhat efficiently. Still haven't tried to see how much improved the sync time is, but I'm hopeful.

OK, I tried running disk utility from the system disk as you suggested. It acted just the same way - froze about 1/3 of the way through. Gave the same error message, and the same scary message that if you stop running disk utility (which one must do since it will not run), then there is a risk of damaging the disk.
Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

Anyone successfully do ATV update from 4.3 to 4.4.2?

Has anyone updated ATV from 4.3 to 4.4.2?

No problem at all. Did a restore right from the beginning and the new update loaded perfectly. All I had to do was put my wifi password in and my apple id.

2nd Gen ATV update failed

I clicked software update tonight and it went through Screen 1 of 2 downloading and installing update and then Screen 2 Applying update. But then instead of it's normal restart behavior, it gave me a screen with the iTunes logo and a USB plug logo on it and the light is flashing.
I read in some older posts about needing to plug in a micro-USB cable and connect it directly to my computer. But *** Apple, why not actually supply the cable then.
I've contacted Apple support and am waiting for a call back tomorrow. So if anyone has any other suggestions in the meantime, I'd appreciate it.
Sitting here with my now dead ATV.

I have one remaining Apple TV that I have yet to update. As a result of a large number of threads appearing in a short period of time reporting that the update is no longer available, I tried to update my own and was told it was up to date.
It’s therefore quite possible the update has been temporarily removed and the best advice I can provide is to sit tight and wait.

HELP - Series of problems since latest ATV update 2.3.1

The first problem occured as soon as I tried to sync ATV & itunes after the update. I opened up itunes and it 'froze' as soon as it started to sync with ATV, this happened 3 times. I disconnected ATV from itunes, opened itunes and then re-connected ATV and resynced all of my content (which took 3 hours!!).
Yesterday I opened up itunes and after a series of checks it finally launched but to my annoyance all of my playlists had dissapeared and lots of my content was missing. I have retrieved my missing content from my itunes folder but the playlists are gone, these include the 'standard' itunes playlists such as 'recently added', 'on the go' etc.
Apologies for the long winded post but this is causing me great frustration and any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Having read through some posts on this forum I have come to the conclusion that one of the problems may be caused by genius playlists created on ATV. Since my original post I have done a fatory restore on ATV, then a software update to the latest version 2.3.1. I then re-synced with itunes and the problem of itunes freezing seems to have gone away. The only other issue I have now is that any purchases I made through the itunes store will not sync to ATV. I will have to contact apple to help me with this issue.
Hope this helps.

Since ATV Update, slideshow malfunctions

Updated ATV, now using slideshow with photo library (iTunes) leads to a malfunction. It takes forever to load my photo library. Then during the slideshow, only shows first 20-30 photos, then begins the slideshow again. This library has some 12,000 photos, but I'm only showing an album of 1800 photos. This is a new problem. Any ideas?

After further research, reset and restarted ATV and restarted iTunes. Now all is well. Sometimes just pulling the plug will work magic!

ATV Update fail. What USB cable actually can plug into the back of this device?

My 3rd Gen ATV suffered a failed update over the weekend and now only shows a screen implying that I connect it to iTunes however none of the USB cables I can find will plug into the narrow slot at the back. Where do I get a cable from that can plug use to reset my ATV?

What's on the other end of the USB cable? Your keyboard or mouse?

Netflix not working properly after ATV update

After the update, movies at netflix after some seconds, video starts from the beginning and audio still plays normal.
Can't see anything like that. Have to fast forward so video comes back to original point.
Can you guys help me out?

If the update does not work for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. That philosophy can be applied to all updates.
If there is no pressing or emergent reason to update and your PC or notebook is running just great... don't update. (that is especially true when it comes to a BIOS update)
For your issue #2, the problem could be your wireless connection (hotspot, router or modem) that causes the dropped connection.
Best regards,

Netflix "Recently Watched" gone after ATV update?

Help! What happened to the Recently Watched section in the Netflix app? This section was crucial for easily keeping up with series you were watching. Please Apple bring it back! Anyone know of a way to get this back?

This same problem has happened to me a few times what appeared to be randomly. I was able to resolve it by simple resetting the ATV. I also found logging out and back into my Netflix account made that menu re-appear.
