HT202716 Apple TV2 reset. "Unknown" error occurred (9) ? Have tried reset 3 times. Is there a hard reset trick out there

Apple TV2 reset. "Unknown" error occurred (9) ? Have tried reset 3 times. Is there a hard reset trick out there.?

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)

    Hi chiekoo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error21
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

  • An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contrib

    Hello all,
    I just started having a Dreamweaver problem that's perplexing me...
    I have 2 machines, a G4 and a G5 both running Dreamweaver ( I have MX2004 and 8 on both machines, this problem effects both versions on the G5 only).
    Everything was humming along just fine until the other day when suddenly I was receiving error messages on my G5 stating
    "An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contribute site".
    Then my local folder containing the website that I was working on would go gray (in Dreamweaver) and lose it's folder icon. It would still look like it was there, just no icon. When I would click on the drop down triangle it would state, " The local root folder, (and the folders name), does not exist. Please select a new local folder by clicking the Manage Sites button".
    I then ran a couple of tests on the G4 and it connected fine, I was able to edit, upload/download, everything as usual. I then attempted to connect to the site with Transmit on the G5...no problem.
    In the site definition I remembered that it may be set up to work with Contribute sites, but this was not the case, the box was unchecked.
    I then had the idea to export the site key from the G4 and grab it onto the G5 and import it into Dreamweaver...I did this AND IT WORKED! Once...after that back to the 2 usual errors.
    I found a work around for now...do my editing/site building in Dreamweaver, and upload with Transmit...this works fine...I've found that the errors only happen AFTER I've connected with the site(s). I've tried this with the other sites I maintain and it was the exact same thing.
    Are there any similar experiences out there? This has really got me stumped... can't imagine what it is.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

  • Unknown error occured (310) when trying to connect to itunes store

    Unknown error occured (310) when trying to connect to itunes store

    This is probably due to a connection error.
    I fixed this by navigating this route:
    Control Centre > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Untick proxy server box (if ticked).
    Hope this solved your problem!

  • An unknown error occurred (-1) while trying to restore Ipad 3 new

    Happy iPad users, I may need some help from you please.
    I’ve got a problem with my iPad new 32 GB WiFi + 4G LTE.
    I bought it just recently in China and was using it for nearly one month without any issues.
    Then at some point i started getting synchronization problems with iTunes and applications that I have downloaded did not run properly or simply won’t start on my iPad. Then I’ve lost cellular signal.
    Trying to resolve the issues I had to reset iPad to factory settings and after that I could not register it with apple. I tried many times with no success.
    Then I went through some internet articles and decided to restore my iPad and finally I’ve got my almost new iPad stuck is restore mode!!!
    I cannot get it out of restore mode and I cannot get it restored.
    When I try to restore it I get the following message:the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    Here are the things I’ve done so far trying to restore it
    Tried to restore in on Windows XP – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on Windows 7 – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on MacBook – NO LUCK, SAME MESSAGE
    Tried to use recovery fix option on redsn0w. Did not help. I tried different versions of this program with no success. Maximum what I had is my iPad was entering “white apple mode” after clicking fix restore button.
    Tried to restore iPad from DFU mode both on Windows XP and Windows 7, no luck, same message (error -1)
    I suspect that my iPad may have a hardware issue however I still hope it can be fixed with your help.
    We don’t have an official apple support centers where I leave and I would like to try all the options before I send it to abroad apple support center or to a shop where I bought it.
    Please can anybody help me with advice on how to fix my iPad?
    Thank you all in advance.

    I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

  • An unknown error occurred (-1) when trying to update my iPad to iOS7.

    Last night I attempted to update my iPad 2 to iOS7. At some point during the process, the iPad locked up and I was presented with a screen instructing me to plug into iTunes for a system restore. I did so and after approximately 10 minutes, I received the following message, 'The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)'. I have since re-tried about a dozen times to restore and keep ending with the same message. Is this just a case of the servers being overwhelmed? Should I try again in a few days when things calm down? Or has the update killed my iPad? Do I need to take it to the Apple store?
    Thanks Apple... Frustration level is off the chart.

    I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

  • Unknown error occurred (-23) when trying to update to ios 5

    When I tried to update my iphone to ios5, I get the error message: There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. An unknown error occurred (-23).
    I have already updated itunes to the newest ver 10.5 already and I never had any issues updating my iphone 4 to the newest IOS previously.
    Anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    I just got off the phone with an apple support assistant pertaining to error -23. For myself, it is due to internet settings that my ISP provides that prevents the upgrade. (Are you in Singapore with the ISP Singtel? The apple support assistant specifically mentioned Singtel users as having the -23 error.) The apply support assistant adviced me to wait out for 2 business days and then see if I can upgrade. I hope this is the case for you too.
    Otherwise, error -23 means either a hardware error or improperly configured settings, which shouldn't be the case if you have itunes 10.5 and the latest osx build.

  • Getting "An unknown error occurred (502)" while trying to download a TV episode under a season pass

    Any ideas on how to resolve the following error:
    There was a problem downloading “The Bear and the Maiden Fair / Game of Thrones / Game of Thrones”. An unknown error occurred (502).
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    This happens on both iMac and PC, but I can still download other purchases at the same time.
    I have been able to download some of the episodes, but seem to get the problem with the new one every week.
    iTunes support have fobbed me off, so any suggestions are welcome ...

    Fingers crossed. But if you still run into trouble, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
