The Apple TV update could not be downloaded at this time.  Try again later??   Later never comes.  What do I do now?

Yesterday Apple TV worked... But today I get the message on screen that Apple TV could not be downloaded at this time.  try again later.  The problem is that never seems to never come.  What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community GentKY.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    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)

    I have no idea where you're seeing this message, but one possibility is that someone else has access to your Apple ID and is trying to purchase that item. If nobody else is supposed to have access to your Apple ID, it may have been hacked. See:

  • When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time"

    When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time".. does anyone know what i can do to fix the problem???

    Try to sign out of iTunes. Then reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, when you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot) then sign back into iTunes and see if you can download the app.

  • Why i keep getting the message application could not be downloaded at this time on  ipad2

    Hello tay19
    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot updating your iPad. You may be having an issue with a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with the update server.

  • App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later." How may I appease the Store?

    App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later."
    How may I appease the Store? The message first appeared a couple of weeks ago and seems to reappear every time I download something from the App Store, be it an update or a new app. I tried re-downloading and re-deleting "Tuner!" (this is the only one whose name I can see), but to no avail. I even tried hiding a whole load of apps from my Purchased list (including Tuner!) in the hope that the five offenders would GO AWAY and stop waiting around being nuisances ;) I haven't noticed them slowing down/stopping my other downloads, so I never paid the pop-up notice much attention, but it is starting to bug me now.
    Thank you if you can help.

    I have been getting the message from time to time over the last couple of weeks.  I just click through, and the download haooens anyway.      The other day I looged onto my accout in apple.com, and it simply wanted me to verify the ccv on the credit card.    
    I am glas your solution worked, but I am not sure you needed to do a full wipe and reinstall.   There is some goofy stuff going on with the store, but nothing you can't get by.

  • My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

    My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

    Upon switching on my ipad, I'm getting the caption "Unable to Download Application "*Solitaire" could not be downloaded at this time." Further, I'm getting 2 options - Done & Retry, both of which are not responding. The ipad is in the hanged situation for all practical purposes. How do I get out of this situation?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • Movie download failure - "could not be downloaded at this time."

    I purchased an HD movie in the iTunes store for my Ipad 2. I am intending to take the movie on a trip and need it downloaded to the Ipad, but I get the message "{Movie} could not be downloaded at this time." I waited 12 hours and tried again, still no luck. None of the other posts in Support seem to have directly answered this question - is there some reason this movie won't work on Ipad 2? And if not, how do you get a refund on the purchase?

    Hello Stanley,
    Thank you for providing details about the issue you are experiencing with the App Store.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the App Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • ITunes download error  "could not be downloaded at this time"

  • When i try to buy something it always says "could not be downloaded at this time"?

    I need help when i try to buy something on itunes it says," could not be downloaded at this time"

    That's not necessarily correct. At least in my case slides and videos for Stanford CS193P are downloading from deimos3.apple.com.
    Annoyingly if I try to download "12. Persistence (November 3, 2011) - SD" from iTunes U on my iPad I get the error message:
         Unable to Download Podcast
         "12. Persistence (November 3, 2011) - SD" could not be downloaded at this time.
         [Done] [Retry]
    But if I then try from iTunes on my MacBook Pro sitting right beside it on the same network it actually starts downloading. Generally I've found downloads to be more reliable from my MacBook than on my iPad, but they're still amazingly slow (10 kilobytes per second seems the norm, regardless of whose network I'm on at the time).
