Download software update to Apple TV

How can I connect my Apple TV to receive software updatesplease?

Thanks for reply Alley Cat
I have managed to get contact by going direct to TV with HDMI lead. However I am unable to get any sound.
Tried to play a film trailer whic is taking quite a while to download.
Connecting Apple TV prompted software update which took at least 6 hours to download.
My broadband connection probably prevents efficient use of Apple TV but at least sound wd enable ITunes library to play. I get the pictures.

ITunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution?

iTunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution? And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

It would help to know versions here. I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed. Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago. If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses. Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"

I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes. I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7. i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message. I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529."
I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine.
Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch. All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes.

Did you check your security software settings? Troubleshooting security software issues
iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the download of the software and the update process.

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

Download software updates

Please help me to update my software to iOS 5.1 as my ipad2 doesn't have software update how can I download software update?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline indicates that your iPad is on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 6.1.3

I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
Thank you, Ripley

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

When I download software updates why do they appear on the desktop (and in devices) and not get saved to the HD (I click install to HD but they don't go there)

Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

My Macbook Pro downloads software updates but it won't install them?

My late 2011 MacbookPro downloads software updates but when I try to install them, it tells me that it's not supported? The software is currently OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I tried upgrading a few things but it won't install. For example, I tried to get the latest update for iMovie, which is crucial for my studies, but it just tells me to update my macbook which is driving me nuts! Help please?

You would need to upgrade to Mavericks to upgrade iMovie to the version now on the App Store.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

When attempting to install "Software Update" from Apple, the process talls at "Configuring Installation". Even allowing it to run for 24 hours does not result in any progress.

Thanks for the straightforward tip. I had restarted once already, but the second time was a charm. The install button now works. Don't know if it mattered, but I also repaired disk permissions and then restarted in safe mode this time.
The printer driver is apparently a different issue in itself. It turns out that the my printer, the HP Deskjet F380, has some fluke that makes it incompatible in 10.6. A new driver is coming out from HP according to Rickmeister in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10076690&#10076690
In case anyone else has the same problem with the F380: Like the user in the aforementioned thread, I downloaded and installed the old HP drivers for 10.5, and now at least I can print in the meantime.

Ipad crash whilst downloading software update

And it will continue to come back no matter how many times you restart your iPad. Your iPad is in recovery mode now. That's a message indicating that you have to connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer in order to restore it. Something went wrong and there is no way around having to restore the device.
You can follow the instructions here in order to restore your iPad and make it functional again.

Installing downloaded software updates

I'm having a bit of an epic trying to install downloaded software updates. My internet connection is via a USB dongle in a very poor signal area. I downloaded the updates for OS X 10.5.4 and it took me about 36 hours for the download alone. When I tried to install them I got a 'Software Update' box with a bar that was supposedly to fill in with blue shading. Only a tiny bit of the bar filled in and it remained like that for 8 hours the first time I tried and 12 hours the second time. On both occasions text above the bar said 'Installing 3 (or whatever) items' and text below the bar said 'Configuring Installation'. Nothing else happened, for hours. Eventually I simply switched off. I assume I have the software updates on my mac but just can't install them. How can I install them? And if I can't install them are they available to buy on disc? Or should I sell up and move to the city to live in broadband heaven? As you can see, it is all a bit time consuming and I'm not that literate in this sort of thing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Klaus1. I phoned an Apple store and they would only update my iMac if I brought it in but that would be a massive round trip for me (probably 9 hours). I then phoned AppleCare and they bluntly said that they could not send me a disc with the updates. Not good enough. There won't be too many mac users in the UK in the same situation as me so it wouldn't be too costly for Apple to post out updates to mac users who can prove their remoteness (postcodes, for example, could be used). Effectively what Apple seem to be saying is that if you can't access a strong signal then you will be disadvantaged and we will do nothing to help. Like I said, not good enough.
I'll sort it out in the end but I did expect more from AppleCare. I would happily pay them but even that made no impression on them.
Thanks again.

Is there a way to 'manually' download software updates?

Hi guys
I've just reinstalled OSX on my iMac due to some issues and have found that I can't install Aperture because it requires 10.6.2 and the OS I have is .1. Fine, so I install the software update, but when it is in the installing stage of the process when the computer is restarting, it says that it cannot be installed and that the download may be corrupted etc.
I have downloaded the item twice and have had the same response each time. So I was wondering if there's a way to download Software Updates manually from somewhere on Apple's site or something so I can try that instead.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Steve.

Thanks, I'll try the combo update first. I'll make sure to Verify the disk first.
My internet connection is a Fibre-Optic broadband connection and I'm in Manchester, UK. There was some issues with downloading via Safari before, but now that's sorted out but the problem is persisting with the software update it seems. Hence why I'm trying it this way.
I'll let you know how I get on
