You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

Learn how to update the software on your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation). It's always a good idea to have the latest software on your Apple TV.
Update your software
Select Settings > General > Update Software. Apple TV checks for an available update; if one is available, a download message should appear.
Click Download and Install to start the download process.
Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process. The Apple TV status light may flash slowly during the update and restart process. This is expected behavior.

    I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

    Does iTunes see your phone?

  • HT201210 my Iphone was working fine and then I plugged it into Itunes for the update and now it says I have to restore to orignal factory settings.  I will lose my contacts, photos and anything else I have loaded over the past two years.  REALLY?? WHY

    This is so frustrating!  I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded.  All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone!  GRRRR I hate this

    If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
    You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
    You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Does my phone need to be plugged into the computer in order for me to sign into my iTunes account and pay what I owe?

    I owe iTunes $8 because of my ex husband, and at the moment my laptop is in the shop. So I have to have my phone plugged into a computer to sign into iTunes and view my account info and pay my balance?

    You can't use Find My Phone unless you activated it on the phone before you lost it.

  • Does Time Capsule need to be plugged into anything other than power to work

    Sorry if this is a real newbie question. I don't own a Time Capsule yet, but am thinking of buying one. What I am wondering is, can I just hide the Time Capsule somewhere in the house (away from burglars) and just have it plugged into a power outlet - i.e. no ethernet/DSL modem - and still have my Mac talk to it? (I already own an Airport Extreme and that's connected to my DSL modem.) I am not sure about this because the online manual talks about plugging it into a DSL modem as well.
    Thanks in advance.
    Phil

    Welcome to the discussions!
    One of the configuration options for the Time Capsule is to set it up to "join a wireless network". In this type of configuration, backups occur only over wireless.
    As long as the Time Capsule is located where it can receive a good wireless signal, backups will occur correctly. A cabinet may not be a very good location for the Time Capsule for several reasons...one, the Time Capsule needs plenty of free airspace to run without overheating and two, the wireless signal may not be strong enough to be reliable in the cabinet location, especially if this happens to be a metal cabinet.
    Backups will occur much faster if you can connect the Time Capsule to the AirPort Extreme using an ethernet cable. Or, if it's not possible to run an ethernet cable to the desired location of the Time Capsule, you might want to take a look a a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same goal by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.

  • I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages.  I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • Just updated my Apple TV and all it shows now Is a picture of it needing to be plugged into iTunes, do I really need to buy a micro USB cord? This seems absurd!

    This indicates the device is in recovery mode.
    Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?

    When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?

    Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    My additional advice:
    Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

  • Small black boxes in Forefox

    I sometimes see small black boxes while scrolling web pages in Firefox (36.0). Here's an example from a portion of a wunderground.com page. The boxes vary in position and size as I scroll up and down in the window.
    Anyone else see these? Here's the system info:

    Sigh. Just updated Firefox and the problem seems to have vanished. I hope it stays that way.

  • Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

    While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error: 
    Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
    Steps to recreate error:
    Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
    Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow. 
    In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save (see screenshot below).
    Error message is displayed as below:
    After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
    Workaround
    When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
    Notes
    Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
    The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService
    cmdlet.
    Any clue on why is this happening?

    Hi Vivek,
    Please close your SharePoint Designer application, clear/delete the cached files and folders under the following directories from your server installed SharePoint Designer, then check results again.
