HT4367 and what do you do when the above doesnt work?

i tried the beta 4 instructions from the dev site....they didn't work.
i had to restore, which downloadd an image from Apple. The restore worked, i reconfigured the device, tried again with beta 4, instructions in the PDF are wrong (again) as i was not able to choose the .ipsw file to use.
Now i have a door stop that wont restore - the only reason i tried to put on beta4 was for a review, and now i have an iTV3 that no longer works.
Yes i've tried everything under the Sun. I even copied in the beta into /Users/peter/Library/iTunes/Apple TV Software Updates
bash-3.2# pwd
/Users/peter/Library/iTunes/Apple TV Software Updates
bash-3.2# ls -l
total 3482480

Using the "touch" command on the original file in the (seen above renamed to .orig) caused iTunes to at least try and download a new restore image....without success.
Why it would recognise the new beta 4 file in there is beyond me, but that also triggered a new download. And failure.
Right now the iTV3 is now workng. Restores dont work.
I'mm gnna try the Windows approach and reboot - after i move these .ipsw files somewhere else first.
cheers
peter

i couldnt edit the above which is annoying.
Typoos:
Right now the iTV3 is now workng. Restores dont work.
Should be: NOT working.

  • What do you do when your facebbok doesnt work in your laptop?

    '''bold text'''

    When you see this, you have a backup that has been encrypted.
    This can be something you've turned on (perhaps by accident), or you've got an email account on your phone that forces any iTunes backups of your phone to be encrypted.
    Either way, there will be a password that you know on the backup.
    It could well be your email password - so it would be worth while attempting to use that one to access your backup.

    HI,
    There are two ways to tackle this issue.
    <b>Method..1</b>
    Thru se16 check the table(s) being updated, preferably the last table as per your code. If you have say 1600 records in the flat file check for the upload of the 1600 th record.. If not ok, check for the upload of the 800 th record(N-N/2), if OK go & check
    N+(N/2) th record  if not ok goto N-(N/2) th record where N is the curent record number in the flat file . In about 4 or five checks you will converge on the last uploaded record.
    Now from the flat file, remove the lines till the upload is ok & then re-run BDC.
    Even here a record may be uploaded partially which has to be manually edited thru se16.
    <b>Method..2</b>
    Have a zee table for uploads. Just after uploading a record into the sap table, fill this zeetable with few fields of each the records. In an abort situation this table will tell the story of the update status. Take care to empty this table occasionally.
    Regards
    Gaurav

  • What do you do when your keyboard stops working on your MBP?

    Turned my MBP on this morning only to find I was unable to open any of my files. After finding this out, I restarted it and now my keyboard won't work.  It is stuck on the sign in page and the only button that is working is the power button. But the power button won't let me turn it off. Help!!

    evans_re,
    does the trackpad not work? If it works, you could try selecting “Shut Down…” from the Apple menu.
    As a last resort, you can hold down the power button for approximately ten seconds, which should force a (non-clean) shutdown.
    If your keyboard is completely non-functional (excepting the power button), then you should take it to an Apple store or other qualified service facility.

  • What do you do when the fingerprint id just turns off and there is no start backup

    it just turned off and wont start back up. and  wish for it too work again.

    Thanks for reporting back.
    I was thinking earlier today that when you delete a cookie in Firefox, Firefox directs a database engine to delete that row of data, and the database engine modifies the cookies.sqlite file so that Firefox no longer sees that cookie. However, for efficiency, database files are not constantly resized like regular document files; the space is retained to reduce the overhead of requesting space from the operating system. Therefore, some pieces of the cookie may remain in the file until it is cleaned out or overwritten by the database engine. There are some utilities to "vacuum" these database files, which should clean up the unused space. If you see this problem in the future, where a cookie you removed and which is invisible in Firefox can be found using an external utility, it would be interesting to "vacuum" the file instead of deleting it to see that cleans up the cookie crumbs.

  • HT204023 What do you do when the hotspot is on and you want it off

    The phone cannot access Internet with the SIM card but I can access it through wi fi

    Exactly what is it you want?
    On the subject you state thet you want to turn off the phone's "personal hotspot" which is used for providing Internet connectivity for other devices by using the phone's connectivity thru the carrier's network. This is controlled thru Settings / Personal Hotspot (On/Off).
    But in the body of your message you state you cannot connect thru your carrier (connecting after SIM card registration) and you connect thru Wi-Fi. Which in turn connects via Settings / Wi-Fi and you choose the access point, with possible authentication, on the following screen once the option is On.

    Creative cloud will not update on my Mac.. therefore I cannot use InDesign. How can I get the Creative Cloud to update? I have tried un-installing and re-installing 3 different times now. Thank you.

    Not sure.  I am not having any problems opening files in current version 8.0 except for files that have been created/modified in current version 8.2 of course. That is why I need to update.
    I've tried uninstalling 8.0 version before updating and a direct download of installer/updater of 8.2... still no luck.

An unknown error occurred (-101).  Isn't this wonderful?  I've seen 100s of articles and complaints about the same thing.  How come Apple doesn't fix it?  Now I want my money back.  VERY Angry at Apple for these problems.  Furthermore, the beachball of death spins for an unreasonable amount of time upon startup, and I have a solid state drive!  Come on Apple.  I bet my $4000 is working for you.  How come your machine isn't working for me?
