HT1600 Apple TV ( 3rd Gen) not detecting update to 6.0 software

Apple TV has 5.3 installed. It is my understanding that ATV 6.0 was released a few days ago. However, my ATV has been left in the dust. What is going on? I have tried restoring it, restarting it, but nothing works. I would really like the new features such as iTunes Radio. Please help?

Just found this:

I will consider myself lucky that it didn't update yet. I will just wait patiently till the bugs are worked out.

  • HT1600 Apple TV 3rd Gen Netflix issues

    We have recently purchased an apple TV 3rd gen and Netflix worked for about a week and has not since.  All updates are in.... can anyone suggest what needs to be done?  We bought it for Netflix and not any better than the WD or Boxee we tried....so far.

  • IPod Nano 3rd gen not detected as a drive in my computer or in iTune

    hi,
    i bought a brand new Refurbished ipod nano 4GB 3rd generation and it does nothing when i connected it to laptop, i have Dell Latitude and Inspiron. it is not getting detected as a drive in my computer and in iTunes. I charged it for more than 4 hours and it is not powering on. i tried to restore it by pressing both center and menu buttons at a time, but could not see anything on the screen. i went through the several posts of similar kind and the users have tried them as well but the final feedback was to get it repaired. Is there anything i am missing? i bought a iPod shuffle which works perfect.

    I talked to one of the apple authrozied service center, and they requested me to bring it over for their supervision.

  • 2014 Macbook Pro Retina crashes when extending display to Apple TV 3rd Gen

    2014 Macbook Pro Retina running Mavericks 10.9.5 crashes and restarts every time I Extend Desktop in Airplay to new Apple TV 3rd Gen running latest update.
    What can I do to avoid this?
    Thanks

    Hello Freytag,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was getting recurring kernel panics when using an external display. 
    First, I recommend troubleshooting the connection with the external display.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the article below.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but the following steps specifically stands out to me for the situation you are experiencing:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    If you continue expereince kernel panics, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting a recurring kernel panic" in the article below to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue:
    OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • HT1600 Apple TV (3rd generation) cannot update

    Recently, my Apple TV (3rd generation) showed that I can update it.
    But while updating, it showed, "update was not successful". I have tried restart and restore it, but it did not work as well
    Do you guys have any ideas about how can I fix it ?

    I´ve got the same problem, tried several times to update my ATV3 to 5.1.1 but the installation process stops always at 95% of the 1st (out of 2) step displaying the message "update was not successful, try to restart ATV and then update again".
    I did so 5-6 times including latest time after disconnecting my ethernet cable and using wifi connection instead (as "pinette" suggested) but with no success.
    I´m a bit surprised of this malfunctioning behavior of an Apple application update process as these usually are smooth, trustful and successful.
    Can anyone please help me in giving a hint how to solve this issue? I´ve updated both ATV 2nd gen and ATV 3rd gen several times earlier with no problem whatsoever. My computer is a Mac Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (can´t run Mountain Lion OS 10.8 on this MacPro) and latest iTunes 11 (which runs without problem on the constellation MacPro/MacOS X 10.7.5). Do I maybe need a Mac computer running Mountain Lion on my home network for being able to update Apple TV 3rd gen to it´s latest software 5.1.1?
    If there is no forum member/guest having an answer to this question maybe some representative of Apple support can help me? Is there a working solution or stands this update problem for an application bug?
    Best regards,
    Stefan

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

    Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
    and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
    I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
    Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
    After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
    Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
    but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
    I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
    There are no updates available for the AirPort

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen - iTunes Movies Not Showing Up???

  • I updated my apple tv 3rd gen to 5.1 just...after updating my trailers and photostream icons were gone. Had to facotry reset,then sign in again...after a while icons were gone again...

    i updated my apple tv 3rd gen to 5.1 just...after updating my trailers and photostream icons were gone. Had to facotry reset,then sign in again...after a while icons were gone again...

    First I would charge it for an hour and then:
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • Cannot Restore Apple TV (3rd Gen)

    My problem began when I ran into the notorious problem of the Apple TV (3rd Gen) crashing after auto-installing the latest update. Specifically, ever since the update, it will only boot to the Apple logo. Rebooting simply returns it to the logo. I figured I might've been impatient, so I let it sit for a long while, only to come back maybe an hour later to find it still frozen on the logo.
    So I tried to restore it to factory settings via iTunes, but this has led to my current problem -- Neither my PC (Win 7) nor iTunes will recognize the device.  I followed the standard 3rd gen method of connecting: Connect via micro USB (data cable, not charge cable), connect power. It fails to appear in iTunes, device diagnostics show no devices connected, and Windows doesn't appear to even acknowledge its connection.  I've tried unplugging and replugging power and USB multiple times in different orders with no change in results. (Hilariously, for one brief moment, it did show up in iTunes -- as my iPhone!?)
    I can verify power is working as I can see the optical port lit red when connected.
    I seem to have hit a brick wall, and I'm almost certain this is a software problem (as opposed to bad hardware) given it crashed immediately after the update.
    This is the USB cable I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWPENRU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1

  • Can't Login to YouTube on Apple TV (3rd Gen) (YT and Gmail merged)

    So, I am unable to log in to my YouTube account on my Apple TV (3rd Gen).  I have read a lot of suggestions and nothing has helped.  In like 2006 I got my YouTube User Name, then in like 2009 I got my Gmail.  Google bought YouTube, they merged so I have a YouTube UN and Gmail Account.  I've tried logging in with each.  I've tried using the the 2-step verification, and application specific password.  But to no avail, not working.  Im getting either this Username can't be used on this device for the gmail account log in info.  And unable to login with this Username/password for YouTube UN. 
    Anyone have any suggestions!  This is really frustrating! 
    Thanks Brad

    I had problems back way back in the day with my gmail login so I made a new one (youtube user) for test and that worked fine
    not even sure it's possible anymore to make a pure youtube user you can troubleshoot by checking if it is
