Why does my apple tv 2 not update to v5.0?

Hello!
I´m new - my englisch is not the best but i will try to explain. I want to upadte my "apple tv 2" with the new released Version (5.0). I tried it since 5 days, but my "apple tv 2" won´t find the new version although i can read that there is a new update available. The Wifi-Network works good, it´s possible to watch filmtrailers and other content. When i try to start the update, there is the "normal" load optic, but it will not start and it failed. After two minutes it stopped and i should try again later.
I´m thinking to update with itunes (usb connection from pc to apple tv), but i don´t really know, how that works. Meanwhile i found the newest "apple tv"-software and i have this new version on my pc.
Who can help me ???
Thanks in advance

Hello Damian!
Thank´s for your helping answer!
Let me ask some more questions for better understanding:
Is there a difference to load the new software with usb / Itunes ? Will Itunes find automatically the new apple TV update 5.0 (we talk about the latest and newest update with the different user surface)
If "my" itunes won´t find the new software update, is the are chance or possibility to install the downloaded version, which i found in the internet. It is the version 1_5.0_9B179b_Restore.ipsw (487 MB size)? How will i get this version into Itunes?
Maybe you can answer my new questions.
Thank you once again for your efforts.

    why does my apple shuffle dock not being read by my computer

    Are the connections on each end nice and snug?  Has this Shuffle ever previously worked with this PC or this the first time you have tried connecting it?
    It worked previously, can you think of anything on the PC that might have changed since the last time the Shuffle was able to successfully connect? Could be something such as an update to an application or the installation of some new software.
    Does the device charge when it is connected?  Do you get any status from the LED indicators when plugged in?  Does the Shuffle otherwise function as expected?

  • Why Does My Apple Time Capsule , not share ethernet when connected to my current network?

    Hello
    Thank You for taking the time to look at this , my apple time capsule will not share ethernet when joined to my current network , the only way i can get the ethernet ports working is connecting a ethernet port from my airport express to my time capsule and that enables the ethernet ports (which is fine)
    So I'm Wondering Why This Works
    My Current Set up is
    Netgear Router Downstairs (Main Router)
    Apple Airport Express upstairs (set to join existing network)
    Belkin 8 Port Network Switch ( Ethernet cable from express to switch) (3 other devices connected to switch as well)
    Time Capsule upstairs (cable running from switch to time capsules wan port)
    Hey Presto
    So I'm wondering why i have to go around the houses to allow these 3 ethernet ports on the time capsule to work

    Because Apple decided it should be so.. and it was!
    The Airport Express can join a wireless network (non-apple) and still keep the ethernet port alive.
    When Airport Extreme or TC join a non-apple wireless network, they shut off the ethernet ports.
    It was a decree from on high.. there is some technical stuff about MAC addresses hidden behind the router.. but it also makes people have to buy another router they don't actually need.. hence good for the Apple bottom line. And what Apple deems is good for it.. is plainly good for you.. !!
    The solution is to use the airport express downstairs.. plugged into your netgear router.. and tick allow extend network.. and set the TC upstairs to extend a wireless network. In this mode the TC will keep the ethernet active.
    Isn't it fun when you have Apple working hard to close the loop.

  • HT202157 Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility.  It never said that before.  Now my apple tv is not working.

    Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility.  It never said that before.  Now my apple tv is not working.

    Hello Rickpoulette,
    The following article provides further information and could very well help get your Apple TV and your television cooperating again.
    If HDCP authentication does not succeed, you may see one of the following symptoms:
    A message may appear on your television stating "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."
    You may see periodic bands of static, or full screen static, flashing across your TV screen.
    If you are experiencing either of the symptoms above, try playing the same content again for at least another 10 seconds. If the issue persists, try the following steps until the issue is resolved:
    Connect your Apple TV (2nd generation) directly to your HDTV using an HDMI cable.
    Set your Apple TV and HDTV to off or sleep mode
    From the Apple TV interface, select: Settings -> Sleep Now.
    Turn off your TV and wait for about 10 seconds.
    Turn your TV back on.
    Press the Select button on your Apple TV remote to wake your Apple TV.
    Some HDTVs may need a firmware update. Consult your TV manufacturer's user manual or online support pages for additional information about how to update your TV's firmware.
    If available, try using a different HDMI to HDMI cable, such as an Apple HDMI to HDMI cable, directly between your Apple TV (2nd generation) and 720p HDCP-compatible HDTV.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • Why does every Apple update require a restart?

    I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
    UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
    Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

    Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
    Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

  • Why does my Apple Mobile Device Support not uninstall?

    Why does my Apple Mobile Device Support not uninstall from the Control Panel?  It appears that my unsuccessful iTunes install requires that I clean up ALL Apple software,before trying again.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to Apple's download webpage instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime dialog box?

    Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to to Apple's download webpage (to download a full version of iTunes) instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime pop-up/dialog box where I usually perform the updates?

    iTunes 10.4 and Safari 5.1 contain more than 'just' the OSX Lion-release but stability and security improvements as well.
    For example, here is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 what the Safari 5.1 contains.
    In here http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ I can't find an "end-date" for the download of the Lion installer.
    Nonetheless, personaly I would download the Lion installer and then copy it (from your Apllications folder) to a secure place (backup harddisk, external hardisk etc.).
    When your IT gives it a go you can then use te Lion installer from inside the Applications folder, but I would also say to make a bootable clone of your current OSX Snow Leopard before starting the Lion installation.

    If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do
