HT1600 Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software
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.

HT1600 Apple TV software 6.0 not showing up as available
Apple TV software 6 is not showing up as available to download in settings. Any other way to download?
There have been several posts of failures of updates - Apple may have temporarily removed the update.
I'd wait.
Your other option would be to connect to iTunes via and restore to current using a microUSB cable, see the restore process:

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3. -
Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

When I try to update my Apple TV software, I get an error message "update was unsuccessful try again later". I've tried downloading the update for two weeks. Are there any recommendations?
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -

Hello everyone!
I wanted to use the airplay mirroring feature of the 5.1 update but My Apple TV does not seem to want to update. The software is currently at 4.3, obviously it has not been updated in awhile. Every time I click to update the software it says there is no updates available. Researching online has not helped me with this issue
This Apple TV was "inherited" from my older brother who is notorious for jail breaking his apple products. However, i am unsure if it is infact jail broken. I was hoping that I could do a quick restore of the Apple TV and everything would be fixed. But, to no avail did this work. Rather disappointing if you ask me. I have a MacBook Pro and I was also wondering if I could update it from there.
Any and all information will be great!
JessicaWhat is showing up on the main menu screen? To try a restore through your MBP grab a micro usb cable and connect via iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If it is jailbroken that does open up the device to issues and you will not get support here or from Apple. -
I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test. -
How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows
Hi all.
The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
Thank you!I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????
Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to. -
How can I undo a software update?
How can I undo a software update?
That indicates something went wrong. Make sure no anti-virus software or firewalls are running on your system. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Then, follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

How do i get my contacts back after updation of the software on iphone 4S
when i updated my iphone software to ios 6.0 all my contacts got deleted....what do i do?
Hi there!
May I confirm whether you used iTunes (while the iphone was plugged into the computer) to perform the update, or if the update was performed "wirelessly" through the device's settings?
Regardless, your solution should lie within your last backup (typically performed automatically when the phone is "sync'd" with itunes on the computer).

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:
