Software Updates for Apple TV (tried everything in community)

Software updates for Apple TV using HDMI.  My MacBook Pro 2013 does not recognize the Apple TV as a device.  I've tried plugging in HDMI first then AC; AC then HDMI; re-start, etc.  The Apple TV doesn't update through TV and ethernet cable.  Apple TV is 2012 but I can't see it anywhere in order to see for sure.

If you have an AppleTV 2 it does not need a power lead at all when connected over USB.
Ceryain USB to microUSB leads are power only not data, so it could bethe lead.
Also if having issues remove all non-essential USB peripherals/hubs.

  • Is there a software update for Apple's Lion OS and my Officejet 6500A Plus?

    Has HP released a software update for Apple's new Lion OS (10.7.2)?  My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus can't find my computer most of the time. scan to computer no longer works since I installed Lion. Now the printer is not recognizing an HP-brand yellow ink cartridge--I've installed TWO new ones already! What a waste. HELP!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Had a text from Nokia on my 3 N8 today saying keep your N8 up to date.
    Couldn't find an update through 3, but went to the UK Nokia website and managed to update from software version 011.012 to 013.016 which takes the release from PR1.0 to PR1.1
    Update went very smoothly.
    Still trying to track down specific details of the fixes and improvements in this update.
    However, I have read that in April 2011 there will be a Release PR2.0
    I am particularly interested in this as I understand that it will allow user-defined bookmarks to be added to the Home Screen with their particular "icon" rather than the generic icon, so that you can see in a sort of (dare I say it here?) iPhone way which webpage you are going to access...
    We'll see.

    I had the same problem when trying to update from 5.1 to 5.1.1 over ethernet. Try unplugging the ethernet cable and update over WiFi - worked for me. After the update you can plug in the ethernet cable again.
    Yes, I had the same problem and resolved by the method suggested by Toccolo...... thanks.

  • Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

    Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

  • Will the apple tv 2 receive a software update for the new interface?

    I don't love it, but I don't dislike it either.  Between the two, at least initially, I think I prefer the previous interface.
    I know that will be the case for me.

    The new one is a little more Apple-like with icons instead of lists, but I liked having everything right on the screen before and now I have to scroll down to get to the icons below the tv screen view.
    The old interface wasn't perfect but logical - as you say the icons are for the iPhone and iPad crowd, and as i see it will entail more scrolling and button hopping on the remote.
    J.T.Holloway wrote:
    I do like the icon look as it is more like the iPad, iPhone, Dashboard, etc.
    Quelle surprise......
    It's a bit like the redesign of these discussion fora - the new layouts are designed for the younger generation but far too much scrolling and hard work to find what you want compared to the old format.
    I HATE SCROLLINGTO FIND THINGS
    Sorry, rant over.

    Help.  I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us).  Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store.  We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection.  It happens only when we are trying to access Movies.  Very confused.  Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update.  Now this problem!  Help!

  • I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

    I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

    Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot.  After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

  • Forum : Apple Software Update for Windows

    Anyway we could get a notification at the top of the Forum : Apple Software Update for Windows
    Something in red with big letters similar to at the top of the discussion forum page as it seems that the majority of the posts in there have nothing to do with the Software Update for Windows software.
    Just to let people know that the forum is for something in particular not a place to post random queries.
    I was clicking through trying to find some info (that i couldn't think of the right words for so didn't search) and the amount of unrelated stuff in there is surprising.
    Anyway thought i'd bring it to peoples and hopefully the hosts attention, and figured something at the top to advise people of the actual use of that forum might help cut down on the dross.

    The Hosts might be willing to give it a try, but I'd wager a cookie that it wouldn't help. There are huge red letters above this forum telling people not to post technical questions here, but people do it all the time anyway. It can be annoying, I know, but people often just seem to get focused on what it is they're after and just don't notice they're in the wrong place, or they're confused and/or frustrated and post in the first place they can find. There's not much that can be done other than to gently redirect them to a more appropriate place to get assistance (and if you're Level 2 or above, you can notify on the post and ask that it be moved to the correct forum).
    Regards.

  • Upgrade to I-Tunes 7.4.2 with Apple Software Update for Windows

    I upgraded to I-Tunes 7.4.2 and that went great. But I was also offered an Apple Software Update for Windows which would not install. The error message said something about a part of it not being able to run. Is this a Vista thing? I still have Windows XP and don't plan to change to Vista. Will I have issues with newer versions of I-Tunes if I can't get this Software Update for Windows to install?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies, but what I am hoping for is a solution.
    Even though I asked, you never said if you have an ASU 2.0.0.21 ... so this solution runs the risk of being irrelevant to your situation. (It applies to the issue of ASU 2.0.0.21 on an XP PC returning an "invalid signature" message when trying to download an ASU 2.1.0.101.)
    If that's what you've got here, then usually a software installer bundle from Apple which contains a higher version of ASU than the 2.0.0.21 will install on the PC in question.
    (Avoid using the BonJour for Windows 1.0.4 standalone installer just at the moment, as a precaution. Last time I checked, about 20 minutes ago, that still contained an ASU 2.0.0.21, and that won't get you any further forward than you currently are ... assuming that you've currently got an ASU 2.0.0.21 in place.)
    So download and install another Apple installer bundle. Here's a link through to the QuickTime Standalone installer, although the Safari for Windows or iTunes installer would also work:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    That should, as part of the install, update your ASU to version 2.1.0.101. To check on that, launch ASU ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"), go "Help > About Apple Software Update" and check the version number. If you're now at ASU 2.1.0.101, you're past the problem with ASU 2.0.0.21 returning an 'Invalid signature" message when trying to install an ASU 2.1.0.101 (assuming that's the particular problem you were actually experiencing).
    You can then uninstall QuickTime for Windows (or Safari for Windows, or iTunes and QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, depending on what installer you used to update your ASU version) through your Add/Remove programs control panel.

  • I-Tunes 7.4.2 with Apple Software Update for Windows

    When I upgraded to I-Tunes 7.4.2, I was also offered an Apple Softward Update for Windows. This failed to install. The error message said something about part of it not being able to run or something. Is this a Vista thing? I still have Windows XP and don't plan to change.

  • Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

    Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
    Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
    Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
    "This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
    I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
    Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
    Thank you,
    Kylie

    I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
    I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
    Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
    Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

    Anyone has a solution for this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated...oh and by the way, my iPod is not connected when I am trying to update.
    Thanks

    Okay. Rather than using Apple Software Update, let's try updating your iTunes using an installer downloaded from the following location:
    Latest iTunes Installer
    Does the install using the iTunesSetup.exe from there go through any better? If not, what error message do you get from that?

  • Apple Software Update for Windows will not download and update

    When Apple Software Update for windows comes up, I select the items to update, I accept the eula, the bottom half of the window rolls up and rolls back down and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apple Software Update. If I download the updated individually (outside of Apple Software Update) they work fine

    Try checking the rules in your firewall software. Is Apple Software Update being allowed full access to the internet?
