Latest Apple TV update causes me grief!

I have Apple TV2. It has been working perfectly up until the latest update. Now everytime I use it I have to unplug it so it will reboot before it can find the network. It now also randomly stops and I have to reboot it. I have Home Sharing turned on and it often no longer "sees" it. Any fixes?

Thanks, tried that but it didn't work. I belive the problem is the latest ATV update. I've noticed that this is a all too common issue.

  • Latest Apple Software Update causes 'No Airport card installed' error

    Hi,
    I accepted the Software Update released 05Apr08 and rebooted. Following the reboot my MacBook Air now says 'no airport card installed' and I can't get the MacBook to 're-recognize' the card.
    I have used the airport card to access many different wireless networks prior to this update with no issues.
    All advice accepted gratefully.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with a brand new Macbook Air I picked up on Tuesday. When I got it home I updated all software to latest, and didn't have any issues...
    Sometime on Thursday, however, after waking from sleep the airport card reported it is off, and no amount of attempting to turn it on again would successfully do so. After a restart, the computer reported no Airport card is installed at all. I had to shut down the computer and turn it back on before the airport card was recognized (and work) again. This is now the case every time the computer is put to sleep. Occasionally after I do this, the network will be incredibly slow, something like dialup speeds.
    First I tried resetting the PMU (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449), but that didn't work. Then I reset the PRAM and NVRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238), which worked for only about a day. Now here I am again with the same issue, and an appointment for the genius bar at 5pm tonight.

  • Installed latest Apple software updates, now my mail accounts will not open. No settings, addresses, passwords, etc. were changed.  Help!

    This morning I downloaded the latest Apple software updates.  After the computer restarted, I cannot send/receive emails through Mail.  I can, however, send emails through the Yahoo webpage.  Nothing (user names, email address, password, etc.) was changed after the download/installation.  I can get on the internet and my iPad works just fine, just not Mail.

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Just in case you missed some of the files:
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg

  • I am trying to download latest Apple Itunes update to my Toshiba laptop and got the following system error message:  APSDaemon.exe

    While trying to download the latest Apple Itunes update to my Toshiba laptop I got the following

    I uninstalled Itunes and tried again, but got the same message.
    Help, please

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • HT202157 Since installing latest apple tv update unable to access netflix

    Since installing the latest Apple tv update I am unable to access Netflix. Message appears that Netflix is not available at present, please try again later

    Hi all, an update: while sending the Apple TV to sleep and waking it did nothing to fix the problem, sending to sleep and then forcing it to restart by disconnecting and reconnecting the power did the trick. When it restarted, it advised me of the new features in the (already installed) update, somethign it did not do when it restarted after the update. It then automatically found and joined my wi-fi network.
    So, if you have the same trouble after the update finishes, try powering the Apple TV off and back on.

  • Remote no longer works correctly after the latest Apple TV Update

    I hope someone can help.
    I have the latest Apple TV, purchased this year, and the update that was just released really messed things up in using a remote control.  I've tried with both the original apple remote and my Harmony multi remote.
    I can unpair/pair fine with either, but navigation just plain doesn't work.  I press the down arrow, it may not move at all, it may scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen, or anywhere in between.  I press the select button, the icon on screen may do nothing, it may start to wiggle, or it may actually select it.  Sometimes double clicking the select works as a single click.
    After a lot of play around to get it to do what i want, i was able to do a full restore to factory, but that didn't change anything with the remote and now i cannot join the home sharing because the remote wont work well enough, so i can't use the iphone app.
    As I said, I tried a full restore to factory, powering the Apple TV off, 2 different remotes, nothing works, help!!!!!
    I have a pretty big iTunes Anime collection and I want to watch it!
    I have an older Apple TV, but I'm afraid to even plug that in if the update is bad.

    Sounds very odd - could be a hardware issue rather than software if more than 1 remote is affected.  Strangely though some of my older white remotes seem to have beome very poorly responsive recently and I've replaced batteries in them only a few weeks ago, I think their keys are failing though.
    If you have a recent iPhone this might help asssuming the bad AppleTV is an AppleTV 3:

  • HELP!  Can't boot after latest Apple Security Update (Released yesterday?)

    The latest security update, which came out yesterday (I think it's this update: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305530 ) has ravaged my Mac.
    I have a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25 MDD.
    I installed the update, and rebooted like it said.
    Once the computer came up, it got past the grey screen with the spinning wheel, the screen turned blue, right before it should present the login window... and then the grey (translucent) curtain slid down from the top, and a box in the center told me to hold down my power button and restart my computer.
    Now this happens EVERY TIME I TURN MY COMPUTER ON.
    I HAD a PERFECTLY RUNNING MAC BEFORE I INSTALLED THIS UPDATE. NOW IT'S COMPLETELY UN-USABLE.
    HELP! HELP! HELP!
    WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?
    I'm searching for bootable discs to try to get the Mac to come up so I can look at it. I haven't tried going in through single-user-mode (command prompt) yet. I came here first, because I need support FAST!!!
    By the way, before this update, I was completely up-to-date with my Apple patches/updates. I was running 10.4.9 (I don't remember the Build #, but I was CURRENT).
    Thanks in advance for any support (Apple?!?!)

    Ladies and Gentlemen:
    Sorry for the alarming post. I'm replying to my own post to let everyone know that I don't think the problem is the Security Update alone. For lack of anything better to do, I decided to try troubleshooting this problem by myself... and here's what I did:
    I booted the Mac in to Single-User mode, by holding down Command-S. Once in, I forced fsck to pass verification of the drive (fsck -fy). Then I mounted the root partition in Read/Write (mount -uw /). Once I had write access to the drive in the command prompt, I quickly decided to check out what applications and services were starting when my computer boots (/Library/StartupItems ; /Library/LaunchDaemons). From there I removed all third party applications and services. (I maintain a "StartupItems-Disabled" folder, and a "LaunchDaemons-Disabled" in the spirit of pre-OS X machines that had something similar in the System folder for extensions and control panels (if my memory serves me)... so that's where I put all the applications and services that I didn't want to boot (I moved them from the respective folders in to the "-Disabled" folders I had created).
    Anyway... after removing all the third-party software and services from Startup, I rebooted, and my Mac came up just fine. I'm going to sift through the logs to see if anything was written about what happened at boot all those times. With any luck I'll figure out which application or service wasn't playing nicely with the OS and/or Security Update.
    Good luck with your own endeavors. It's always scary when your Mac doesn't boot, so I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else (especially someone less technically inclined). I'll check the forums later to make sure no one else had similar problems... because I'm sure I could help them get to the bottom of their troubles.
    Cheers!

  • Lose Apple TV wireless connection with latest Apple TV update

    I purchased a new IPhone yesterday and tried to set up the Apple Tv software to use the Iphone as a remote. This involved updating to the Latest Apple TV version 2.1. However once I carried out the update the Apple TV lost connection with the Wireless network and displayed an ip address 169.xxx.xxx.xxx . I manually set up the system to the 192.168.1.xxx subnet and the Apple TV showed up in the Router client table but I wasn't able to ping the Apple TV from the router and the Apple TV had no connection to the internet and would not appear in Itunes devices.
    I reloaded itunes and reset the Macbook pro etc but no success. I then restored the Apple TV to factory settings and it reconnected on version 1.0 . I then tried a further software update on the Apple TV to 2.1 and once again I lost my connection to the Local wireless network. Same DHCP address 169. xxx etc.
    Can anyone help me to either get the Apple TV to connect under 2.1 or tell me if it is possible to restore the Apple TV to the previous 2.0 software which at least gave me the lastest updates without the iphone remote facility.
    Apple TV worked fine on Version 2.0
    Really getting anger with the continual crashes and bugs on the software updates now.
    Mac OS X (10.5.4) MacBookPRO
    iTunes version 7.7.1 (11)
    Apple TV (2.1)
    Appreciate any assistance
    regards

    Ok Guys here's what i found.
    *1. Disconnected ethernet wired connection, soft reset apple tv.*
    ATV Continued to work and kept ip address 192.168.1.10x
    *2. Moved Apple Tv unit back to original location and did a power reset.*
    ATV Continued to work and kept IP address 192.168.1.10x
    Tried movie trailers etc. everything still functional could see in Itunes devices etc.
    *3.Power reset router*
    ATV Continued to work and still had correct IP address
    *4. Powered down all network devices including the Router. then powered up router and brought up all devices individually , bring up the Apple Tv last*
    Router DHCP client list showed Apple Tv with IP address 192.168.1.104
    Apple Tv network setting showed DHCP ip address as 169.xxx.xxx.xxx
    Apple TV could not see internet and I couldn't ping the apple TV from the router
    *5. Plugged in the Ethernet cable to Apple Tv and Router*
    Network setting on Apple tv instantly changed to ethernet and showed correct IP address 192.168.1.104 from DHCP on Router. Unit burst into life and connected to Internet.
    *6. Disconnected ethernet cable from Apple TV.*
    Network settings showed wireless network but no information on IP addresses etc just had N/A
    Did a soft reset and all parameters appeared and they were now correct with IP address 192.168.1.104. apple tv once again started to work and showed up in Itunes.
    7. Final config is Wireless and things seem to be working but it would appear that when I intially set up the apple tv under 2.1 I have to first connect via ethernet to get the apple TV to configure with the correct IP address on the Wireless network otherwise it auto configures with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address and doesn't appear to be connecting to the network.
    Please let me know if anyone else sees the 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address when they initially connect to the wireless network with ATV version 2.1.
    I would like to understand whether I have a unique problem or if others are seeing the same thing.
    Hope this helps , at least I seem to be able to use 2.1 and the iphone remote facility now , even although I have to mess about with the network setting to start with.
    Interested to see what anyone else comes up with
    Cheers

  • Perform Latest Apple SW Update - Result is Boot To Welcome Screen - Help!

    After performing the latest Apple update, upon the auto-restart, the MacBook continuously boots to a Welcome Screen as if the MacBook had never been registered before. Going through the steps of registering the MacBook (again and again) does not help, because the computer continues to go from the Log On window (enter password into regular account) and a repeat to the Welcome Screen.
    Any suggestions?
    So far, I have been successful in logging on to the MacBook remotely (from my MacBookPro) and I've been able to copy the User Files to a back-up drive. I'm thinking I need to do an erase and install and start all over.
    Since this is my sons computer, I don't know the actual update, however, it must be the same one the other five Macs I have did yesterday....
    Thanks - and Happy Holidays!
    Bob

    I also had a problem after this past update - but with my battery. It charges sometimes or it doesn't. It randomly stops charging, even when it needs to. This is really frustrating.
    I'm about to call Apple tomorrow or the day after, to speak to them about this. This is really annoying.

    only enable Java if you absolutely have to use it.  Otherwise, it's better to leave it disabled.

  • Slide Show Freezes after latest Apple Security Update

    Since installing the latest security update to 10.4.6 from Apple, initiating Slide Show causes iPhoto to freeze on my 2 Powerbooks and iBook 500. The only way to get out of it is to Force Quit iPhoto. This happens with iPhoto 4.0.3 and with 2.0. Before the update, the slideshows worked fine. This happens on all slideshows and is not music specific (other music does the same thing).
    Any ideas?

    If you think it has something to do with system software, create a new user account, log into it, and load some pictures into the new iPhoto Library there. See if you can reproduce the problem. If you can't, then the problem has nothing to do with the security update, but rather something in the original user space.

  • HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update?  My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching.  Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

    After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library.  Music works, but no movies.  I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy.  Is there a way to roll back an update?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Airport Extreme-won't connect after the latest Apple software update

    My iBook will no longer connect to the wi-fi provider at our marina since the last two security updates to 10.3.
    The iBook works just fine with all other wi-fi signals in fact pulls in one that's a half mile away! Yet, it will not connect nor show signal strength with this one wi-fi provider. They haven't changed their signal and it occured immediately after I installed the latest software updates.
    When I shut down the computer today, for just a moment, a message flashed "should I grant permission to allow the marina wi-fi to connect". But it was gone before I could "click" on the button. Haven't been able to get that message again. I've tried to re-connect via "Other" and keying in the wi-fi system name and password but no luck.
    How can I restore my connection to this wi-fi?
    Thanks,
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Airport Extreme

    I had this issue last month after upgrading Quicktime and downloading a security upgrade. For some reason (which Apple couldn't derive), the upgrades for their products screwed up my Keychain, and the only way to fix it was to reset my Keychain. Like you, I run 10.3.9, and this happened with two different upgrades on both my iBook and my iMac.
    The reset process is as follows:
    Go to Keychain Access in Utilities
    Access Keychain First Aid (under Window menu)
    Choose “Options”
    Choose "Reset Keychain"
    What a pain...I've stopped downloading upgrades from Apple until this gets resolved. Of course, that's not a good "solution" either.
