HT202157 The apple tv could not be updated at this time.

Will not update. Can anyone shed some light on this?

This was posted byMikito a short while back - seems it has something to do with how some ISP's have their DNS:-
I got it to work by changing the DNS address in my router then changed it back after the upgrade was completed. simply change it to Primary DNS:208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220 it works. I was having issues thinking it was the saturation of everyone trying to upgrade and this solved the issue. No idea why until now the issue started since I never had to do this to upgrade. but it works.
Good Luck
Miguel
Thanks, Miguel. I went into Network settings on Apple TV and configured manually with the Primary DNS you noted above and it worked. (I'm assuming once update is finished i will just go back to network settings and switch to "automatic.")
Thanks!

"This task could not be updated at this time" Error in Outlook 2010 on Workflow Form

Hi,
I have setup a workflow to send task notifications to users and am getting an error when attempting to act on the InfoPath based workflow task form that appears in Outlook 2010 when clicking on the "Edit this task" button. After clicking Approve, the
form disappears, but after a few seconds a dialog box appears that says:
"This task could not be updated at this time"
The funny thing is that the task actually does get updated, but there is often a delay in doing so. Does this warning appear because the server has a backup of workflow items to deal with? I saw that in 2007 it meant something wasn't properly
installed with InfoPath, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I am using Office 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010.

I have the same issue. If I had to guess it's because the workflow in question goes stale and has to recompile, thus it times out on the client even thou it gets submitted to the server so it eventually processes.
Now either they need a longer time out fix, or we need some way to keep the workflow actively in memory somehow on our end for it to not do it. Preferably the longer timeout method would be best to save on ram, but I bet in bigger environments or workflows
that get used often this won't be the issue.
You can pretty much reproduce this if you have 2 tasks from the same workflow, the first one will give the error. then after that if you wait a minute for the workflow to get going, then close your 2nd task, it will be instant. So it's something with the
way it's getting garbage collected and having to recompile that's causing this delay with the client and a timeout just needs extended or something to give the server a chance to finish loading up the workflow.
Also there is a good article explaining reasons and solutions:

Hello tay19
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot updating your iPad. You may be having an issue with a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with the update server.

The Apple TV update could not be downloaded at this time. Try again later??   Later never comes. What do I do now?

Yesterday Apple TV worked... But today I get the message on screen that Apple TV could not be downloaded at this time. try again later. The problem is that never seems to never come. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community GentKY.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    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)

Movie download failure - "could not be downloaded at this time."

I purchased an HD movie in the iTunes store for my Ipad 2. I am intending to take the movie on a trip and need it downloaded to the Ipad, but I get the message "{Movie} could not be downloaded at this time." I waited 12 hours and tried again, still no luck. None of the other posts in Support seem to have directly answered this question - is there some reason this movie won't work on Ipad 2? And if not, how do you get a refund on the purchase?

Hello Stanley,
Thank you for providing details about the issue you are experiencing with the App Store.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the App Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Apple TV 1st Generation: Update failed. Apple tv could not be updated

Hello,
I have a problem with my apple TV 1st Generation.
I did a Factory Restore and now i have
Software Version 2.0.2
Software Build 120
OS Build Version 8N5461
EFI Version 00DA.B04
GF Version 3.1.0/2.9.50
I wanna upgrade the Apple TV to Software Version 3.0.2 which is the last but all i get after downloading and installing the update is the same message
Update failed. Apple tv could not be updated. Make a Factory Restore
I have made over 20 Factory Restores but the same message all the time.
I changed the dns server to 8.8.8.8 and 208.067.222.222 but no luck with any of these solutions.
Can somebody help me please, so i can update my Apple TV.
Thanks in advance.

I have already tried to update Apple TV by cable and I still have the same result.
I still can't update it.
Any other solution?
The most annoying thing is that it downloads the update and when it starts installation of 3.0.2 then the message appears.
Can this be Apple's servers problem or Apple's TV problem?

I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected

I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected. How do I get the latest version of itunes so i can sync my iphone with itunes without losing all my songs?

We were able to fix our machine! I just could not make sense of the error message, so we were trying non-Microsoft, non-Apple solutions.
Our Solution: Install MalWareBytes, and run a Quick Scan.
Even thought both Microsoft anti-virus and Defender were running on our Windows 8 machine, MalWareBytes found about 100 problems. As I looked over the types of problem and locations, I found several that referenced the exact directory referenced in this message. The machine had to be restarted for MalWareBytes to complete the cleaning, but iTunes installed afterwards with no problems.
Thank you MalWareBytes!

It says, 'The iPad "My iPad" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I don't get an error number. It's an iPad 2.

Have you tried following the troubleshooting for that error message on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 ?

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time"

When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time".. does anyone know what i can do to fix the problem???

Try to sign out of iTunes. Then reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, when you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot) then sign back into iTunes and see if you can download the app.

App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later." How may I appease the Store?

App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later."
How may I appease the Store? The message first appeared a couple of weeks ago and seems to reappear every time I download something from the App Store, be it an update or a new app. I tried re-downloading and re-deleting "Tuner!" (this is the only one whose name I can see), but to no avail. I even tried hiding a whole load of apps from my Purchased list (including Tuner!) in the hope that the five offenders would GO AWAY and stop waiting around being nuisances ;) I haven't noticed them slowing down/stopping my other downloads, so I never paid the pop-up notice much attention, but it is starting to bug me now.
Thank you if you can help.

I have been getting the message from time to time over the last couple of weeks. I just click through, and the download haooens anyway. The other day I looged onto my accout in apple.com, and it simply wanted me to verify the ccv on the credit card.
I am glas your solution worked, but I am not sure you needed to do a full wipe and reinstall. There is some goofy stuff going on with the store, but nothing you can't get by.

My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
