How to update Apple TV 2

Hello,
I am trying to update my Apple 2nd Gen TV to latest iOS 5.1. However when i go via Menu option & click for "Check For Updates". The update is failing saying, can't download the update. My internet connection is fine & APple TV is able to download movies, but not this update.
Is there a way i can update it connecting to my laptop? Earlier I had updated iOS vi Wi-Fi, but this time it is failing.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try this to upgrade Apple TV 2, it worked for me.:
go to the ATV settings => General => Network => Configure TCP/IP => Manually=> Skip the IP address going directly to DONE = > Skip the Subnet Mask going directly to DONE =>Skip the Router Address going directly to DONE=> Now change the DNS Address to 208.067.222.222 ( before changing the setting write the number down so you can change it back once you finish) and hit done. Once you get the "Configuration Succeeded Message hit DONE and go back to Update Software. It will take a like 20 seconds to start downloading. Once the upgrade is completed follow the same instructions to go back and change the DNS Address to the original number.

  • How to update apple ID in iCloud settings

    Apple ID is greyed out, how to update apple ID in settings for iCloud on iPad mini?

    If you want to move to a new, separate iCloud account you have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Deleting the account will only delete it from your phone, not from iCloud.  This will not effect other devices still using the account.  Also, you can continue to share your ID for the iTunes and App stores even though you will have a different ID for iCloud.  They do not need to be the same.
    To begin, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have any data in either iCloud account that you no longer want (such as someone else's contacts) you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

    Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software

    Hi (Bonjour)!
    Same problem here, the Apple TV 3rd gen. has suggested an update, but despite the complete download, the process failed on the second step(progress bar) and I've got an "connect to iTune with micro USB cable" splash screen, no white LED on ATV.
    I've connected the ATV unit to my "up to date for all soft" 2013 iMac, and I've got the restore Apple TV dialog. The download completes, but the update process failed with an "1611 error" warning. It seems that his error is related to virus protection software. But... I do not use any virus protection software... so I can't apply any suggested workaround to solve the problem.
    I've now a dead box Apple TV.
    Bad, bad move when selecting "apply update" on a pretty usable ATV.

  • How to update apple os ?

    My MacBook Pro is still using os 6.. How can I update it to the latest os?

    If your MacBook fits the specs you can upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X by purchasing it at the AppStore.

    OS X 10.6.8 is the last update of 10.6 and you should at least have that?

  • TS4526 How to update apple TV software?

    My 2nd generation apple tv resets every 30 seconds on the entry screen and won't allow renting of movies or tv. It shuts off the radio when it resets however does not do it with most other modes (like netflix). I have restarted. The suggestion is to download software 5.2.1 or higher. How do I do it? Thanks for your response.

    Go to "settings"
    Choose "General"
    then "update"
    While your ATV is updating it will get kinka scary since there will be periods when a blue screen with "no signal" appears monentarily. Just wait it out. This is quite a long process and the unit will reset itself and the normal menu screen will reappear when it is finished updating.

  • How to update apple ID password?

    My iMac/iTunes/app store has stored a previous version of my apple ID password, and I cannot persuade it to store the new one. How do I get it to "forget" the old one and remember the new one?
    I have tried logging out and back in again, deregistering and re-registering, etc.
    This happened after I got burgled - my laptop got stolen so I changed a lot of passwords and restored it from a time machine backup onto this imac.
    Surely starting off with a time machine backup shouldn't mean I'm stuck with the same password for all eternity?

    Right. To figure out which of the Updates is asking for your ID, do not click Update All. Click on each app, one at at time to Update (this would be under the Update option in the App Store - you will only see apps there with the Update next to them that actually have updates pending). If it asks for the password to your Apple ID, then that app should be deleted.
    So, it is good that her ID is the one signed on to everything on the phone now. Once you delete the apps from the phone, then she will purchase new versions of those apps using the App Store on her device. When she does that, the app will be purchased with that ID (or if free, will be associated with that ID since it was the one that downloaded it).
    If she is primarily concerned about her Line app and her photos but nothing else, then you can just press on one of the icons on each Home screens until they all wiggle, and then click on the little "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon to delete it. Core apps will not have an "x" since they cannot be deleted. So, just delete everything with an "x" except the Line app....

    Of all the items of help I cannot locate how to change the payment options on my apple/itunes account.
    I'm fairly certain it is currently being directed to an account I have closed.

    There must be a location that will allow changes as needed. Really how can this be so difficult?

    You can change the account by tapping or clicking Account and then signing out of the current account and into the correct one. However, you can't merge Apple ID's, & each Apple ID will have its own scores, achievements, etc.

    I installed Apple TV firmware 6.1.4. Now I see a message that that firmare has expired, and instructions to update connecting the Apple TV to a computer with iTunes. I did that, but iTunes downloads firmware version 5.3 which isn't capable to install. In the developers site I can't find a way to download the current version of the Apple TV firmware. Is there a way to pass the message that the firmware has expired and update to the current version?

    Please post on the developers forum and not in these public forums.
