Update software for 1st generation apple tv

Hello,  
    I have a first gen ATV running version 3.0.2 and is connected wirelessly with great signal strength.   Just sync's with my computer's iTunes so everything cool there.  However, when I go to update software on the ATV, is simply says "Your Apple TV is up to date".   How do I get it to actually update?
    Dave

AC,
    This is useful information, but the I really am looking to get all of the latest streaming content through my ATV.  So from your answer, you are telling me that I can't since this requires version 5 (I believe) of the ATV software.
    The Apple site says nothing about not being able to get this content on 1st gen.

  • 3.0 software for 1st generation

    I have generation 1 itouch. I cant find the link to upgrade to the 3.0 software for it on itunes. thanks

    Good morning,
    I am attempting to assist a co-worker in updating the IOS version of his 1st generation iPod Touch from 2.2.1 to 3.1.3 (the latest version it will supposedly support), however, we are completely unable to find the 3.1 update within the iTunes store. We have attempted to search for it using terms such as 'ios 3' and '3.1 update' amoung others and still can't seem to find it. Based off of the knowledge article mentioned above I did make sure he updated to the most recent version of iTunes first.
    Might someone have an idea of where this update can be found / bought?

  • I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

    I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

    The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
    You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
    The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

  • I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

    It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
    Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
    In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any  downloads are finished, the icon disappears.  I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
    My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes.  Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
    I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail.  Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies.  Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'.  Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab.  Hey Presto!  The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
    This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading.  Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me.  Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem.  Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie!  We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
    In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV.  Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it!  We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough.  We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same.  One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired.  There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie.  Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

  • Hello.  My 1st Generation Apple TV with HDMI cable does not turn on.  Its a used model purchased on eBay.  I've checked and ensured that the electrical plug works.  Is there anyway to manually check to see if the unit turns on or do I have a defective uni

    Hope I'm using this forum right.  I purchased a 1st Generation Apple TV on eBay.  Unfortunately, I cannot get it to turn on.  I have another Apple TV (1st Generation) that works flawlessly on another TV.  So I tried to use the new unit on this TV with same electrical cord and HDMI cable.  No luck.  It would not turn on.  So I do not know if I have a defective unit or if there's another method of turning on the Apple TV.  Again:
    1.  I double checked and it was on the correct HDMI setting (the other Apple TV worked on it) and used the same cable
    2.  I double checked that the electrical was correct - again, the other Apple TV worked correct.
    Any suggestions on fixing this would be most appreciated. 
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    A good indication would be the status light to begin with, it should flash rapidly on start up and then settle down (assuming the status light is working-they have a habit of fading)
    The other thing you could try is cycling the resolutions in case the previous user has left it on a setting that your TV doesn't support.
    Press and hold both the 'menu' and '+' on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
    Press '+'or '-' on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
    Pause a couple of seconds after each press for the Apple TV to accept your selection.
    When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and “If you can see the Apple logo, select OK” appears on your TV screen, press 'select' .
    If that doesn't help, I fear the Apple TV is defective.

  • Airplay on 1st generation apple tv

    How do you use airplay on 1st generation apple tv

    AppleTV1 doesn't support Airplay which is a new feature of AppleTV2.
    AppleTV1 has Airport function which means you can send audio to it like an Airport Express.
    Apple are highly unlikely to upgrade ths AppleTV1 software to allow Airplay.

  • Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

    sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them, that my Iphone or receiving 5 supports 4G LTE,
    Thank you for your attention

    Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
    If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

  • HT6147 is there going to be a Security patch for 1st Generation iPads?

    Is theis there going to be a Security patch for 1st Generation iPads? one has been released for all of the other devices.

    Probably not for the recent problem because the code error didn't show up until iOS 6. Since the original iPad cannot run iOS any later than 5.1.1 there is no need for an update in this instance.

  • Does anyone know how to fix a 1st generation apple tv that plays moves by frames?

    My 1st generation apple tv is playing moves in frames. Does any one know how to fix this?
    I have done a factory reset but did not work?
    I have checked that I have the latest softwear 3.0.2. Is this the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 Hi, I need help on how to update software for my ipad1, can someone help me?

    Hi, I need help on how to update software for my ipad1, can someone help me?

    The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, see the info below.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
