Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives?
Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives? Definitely have wifi connectivity.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
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)

Had message on my iphone 4 this morning that I needed to plug it into itunes. Did this but could only get a blank screen with apple symbol on it. Tried to do a system restore but keep getting the message that it couldn't finish restoring
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

I have plugged in my Ipod and performed the update, at the end it said Itunes has not installed correctly, please reinstall Windows error 7 (error 5) any odeas how I can fix this I cant put my new music on my playlists without the upgrade
Refer to this article:
iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074 -
It shows under the message, the following:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd
What do I need to do to fix this?* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

HT1600 "The update was not successful" when trying to Update Software on my Apple TV
After downloading for 40+ minutes, it went into step 1 and came back with "The update was not successful". I have it connected via network cable and not wi-fi. Is there another way to update that will get me from 5.0.2 (4250) to version 5.1?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
same storry here.
I was renting a movie yesterday with my iPad2 (iOS 5.1) - wanted to AirPlay the video stream from iPad 2 to AppleTV 2 (has the latested OS installed on it) - AppleTV says "not authorized"...
Tried also everything (e. g. reconnected AppleTV to my ITunes-account..) - nothing worked.
I AirPlayed a lot of rented movies from ITunes-store over my iPad2 to my AppleTV 2 in the past without any problems....
I have no idear why this happens now...
I was also functioning perfect after the recent iOS-update on both devices. So no connection to the new iOS...
Regards,

im trying to download itunes 10.5 but keep getting error message that says: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A problem run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. I am using windows XP 32 bit, all the other computers in my house downloaded just fine, no problems, however this is the computer my iphone is set up to, ive tried doing a virus scan, windows update, downloading other things, updating everything possible, everything works fine, its just itunes that wont download, anyone have any other ideas?
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -

Trying to sync iPhone to pc but keeps getting internal device error on screen, also showing only 4gb size instead of 32gb. Uninstalled iTunes from pc and reloaded. Powered back up and all songs and info still in place. Anyone had this problem before?
Doublechecking something Emcee. I see you've got Windows 7 x64, so I'm assuming you've got at least 4 GB of RAM. Do you also have an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on that PC? If so, see the following Microsoft document:
[You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972] -
