HT2463 Apple TV 3rd gen will not update software. Hard wired to router. AT&T U-verse Internet.

Looking for any suggestions on this. I've tried restarting/restoring options. I've restarted my modem and router. During the update process, it always stalls on part 1 of 2.

The problem could be the ethernet connection.  Try using the wi-fi connection to your network.  There is a bug in 5.1 that prevents the update from working with certain routers.  The bug is fixed in 5.1.1, so you can go back to the ethernet connection after the update.

  • My ipod touch(3rd gen) will NOT update due to "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" Please help

    I have quite literally tried everything. My ipod touch just will not update.
    My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
    It will not, however, connect to the update server.
    I have spent around 2 hours tonight troubleshooting and i still have nothing.
    Please help.

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen will not update

    I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch, and it states on the website that this supported to update to iOS 4.3
    However, when I try to update, I get the same error message.
    "This version of the Ipod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
    anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
    I have the latest version of Itunes, I have tried 2 different cables, also I have restored my Ipod back to factory settings,
    There is nothing else that I can think of doing, as there is no update anywhere for me to manually download, and it's getting rather annoying to say the least.
    Thanks

    Look on the back of your iPod Touch itself for any of these numbers.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
    iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367

    You probably have the 2nd generation iPod Touch which is an 8GB model.
    The 2nd generation 8GB iPod Touch was last offered in August of 2010.. I bought one in August of 2010 and the following month Apple came out with the 4th generation. There never was a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.

  • IPad 3rd gen will not update apps

    App Store on iPad 3rd gen shows several apps needing updating.  Updating requests P/W for Apple ID and then states that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store.  I am connected to the store.  I can also download new apps.  Any idea on how to fix the problem.  Thanks!

    We owned all the apps and used them on an iphone 4s.  They were added to the new iPad.  About 8 apps showed updates, and the "can't connect" warning showed.  The same Apple ID applies to all the apps on both devices.

  • Hi. My itunes library is in current 10.5.2 but my old ipod touch 4th or 3rd gen is not updating at all its still in current 4.2 and there is some apps i cant download that requires a 4.3 update but in my itunes it wont. Please help!

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

    I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
    All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
    Some points:
    There's enough hard drive space on both
    I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
    The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
    I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
    We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
    Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
    I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
    Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
    I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
    Cheers
    David

    As per the question, really...
    "My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
    There's no error messages
    Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
    It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now. 

  • Apple TV3 and TV2 will not update to 5.2

    Same problem that seems to happen with every update. Brand new Apple TV is stuck at "Step One of Two." Same with old Apple TV 2. It will not update via wi-fi or ethernet cable. It will not update via iTunes. iTunes reports that the downloaded file is corrupted. Downloading the software at mirror sites and trying to use iTunes to update from the downloaded file also gives a report that the downloaded file is corrupted. Downloading 5.1.1 and attempting a restore from that file just hangs. I ran that all night with no progress.
    Both Apple TVs display severe artifacts on the screen, including screen freezing while the sound continues -- even on completely downloaded movies. The movies are basically unwatchable.
    Apple has been unable to fix these problems for years, now. I have an extensive iTunes movie library which is worthless because DRM prevents watching the movies using any other device. The way I see it, either give me an Apple TV that actually works or refund the money I spent on my iTunes movies.
    Between this and the stupid MacBook Pro wi-fi problems I may never buy an Apple product again.

    OK. I solved my issue.   Before changing your address on your Apple ID, you MUST be signed out of  iCloud and iTunes on your phone!  If your old email keeps reappearing on your phone  (and is grayed out), you'll have to go to your computer and change address back to the OLD  address.  Then, go back to phone and either (1) sign out or (2) remove the iCloud and/or iTunes apps which are opened  -  (which you'll be prompted to use old email address to verify). Finally, go back to computer and change email address back to the new one.      You'll then be able to set up apps on phone using the changed email address.
    Ugh, it took a while, but it worked!

  • Apple tv 2.3 will not update to 3.0

    Hey everyone... I have an Apple tv that will not update to version 3.0 event though i can watch Youtube from it and it has a solid connection. I get a message:
    There is no update available.
    Apple TV can't check right now. Try again later.
    So if someone can help me with that and also try and explain this to me... I am going to leave the TV connected to the Internet and a big tv set on the top floor of the house... There are many other computers and screens throughout the lower floors and a large database as well... If I connect a Mashine running Itunes and then convert a lot of the stuff is there I can use the Apple tv to stream content to the other computers and screens?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Try a factory restore or check that the router isn't blocking any ports used by the tv.
    See the ports required by the Apple TV
    The tv will not stream to any other device.

  • My Ipod 4th gen. will not update. Download will not complete. Help!

    In the past i have had no problems updating my ipod touch 4th gen but recently i cannot update it. I will click update and the loading bar will load all the way, then it will say that it is processing the file. It will say this for a minute or 2 and then give me an error code: 3259 telling me to check my network connection (which works perfect) or try again later. I have tryed reseting my ipod, i cannot restore my ipod because it wants to update it and then restore it. I have not been able to update for over a month and i have missed 2 updates due to this problem. What do i do?

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.

  • Apple TV (1st gen) will not connect to iTunes

    I am at wit's end. Until a couple of days ago, my 1st gen Apple TV connected fine to iTunes. Now, it will not connect no matter what. I have tried the following:
    1) restart both ATV and my machine (Win 7 running iTunes 10.7)
    2) restored ATV factory settings and reinstalled software
    3) hard-wire via ethernet to my computer (which some articles seemed to indicate should work - nothing happened)
    4) hard-wired both my cpu and ATV to a router - nothing shows up
    5) removed and reinstalled all Apple programs, including iTunes, QT and ancillary
    6) vaired between hard-wired internet connection and wireless for ATV
    7) did everything on this page, including open ports manually http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453
    Most frustrating of all, my wife sees the device instantly in her iTunes. AGHH!

    Same thing happened to me, starting right after I  updated the Apple TV firmware. I restarted both devices to no avail. I can, however, play my itunes library content from the apple TV's "computer" app. So there must be some kind of connection. What I've lost is the ability to stream music from iTunes using AppleTV as an "airplay" device.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen will not turn on

    Hi
    Updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation and now it will not turn on. I have restored it in itunes and updated it with the latest software but still nothing.
    The Ipod however is seen within Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly received.
    Regards
    goose

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
    If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
    Next try DFU Mode

    - Then try a different computer
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
