Will Apple TV Version 1 Upgrade to Provide HBO GO?

Here's the situation:
I just moved into a new condo where the previous owner very generously left behind his entire TV-Audio setup. There's some great stuff, though it's all a bit outdated. Among the treasures is an Apple TV box, version 1.
When I first accessed Apple TV I discovered it was running software version 2.4. This means I can watch YouTube, purchase streaming media via the iTunes Store, access my PC's iTunes music and video libraries via WiFi and a few other things. Very nice, and it's all working fine.
But I also want to stream HBO GO, and it's not offered in software version 2.4 for ATV v.1. Would it be offered if I upgrated the ATV software to the latest and greatest? I have no idea, and I haven't been able to find out from reading this forum or any other place I can find on the web. So why not just upgrade and see? Apparently I can't.
ATV tells me that an upgrade is available and I choose it and it downloads via WiFi -- takes a good while -- and then when it comes time to install I get a warning that the system may restart several times during the upgrade process. And then it does restart, and then I see a picture of an AppleTV v.1 with a blinking question mark above it and that's where everything stops. Apparently I can watch that blinking question mark all day and nothing will happen. Then I have to unplug the ATV to reboot and I find myself right back at software version 2.4 with the system asking me once again if I want to upgrade.
So...two questions:
1) Is there a way to force my ATV to upgrade? With no danger of bricking it?
2) Is there really even an upgrade for ATV v.1 that will give me HBO GO capability?
And...an answer to a question I'm anticipating:
Why not just buy a new ATV v.3 because, I mean, they're only about $100?
Because I want analog output and ATV v.3 doesn't offer analog. It's a long story and it's related to my Denon amplifier which won't output digital sound (HDMI or optical) to Zone 2 and I want to use that Zone 2 feature for the speakers on my deck and yes I could get a switcher box to solve that problem but still I want to watch HBO GO anyway so....
Can Apple TV version 1 be upgraded to provide HBO GO? And if so, what do I need to do to stop getting stuck at the blinking question mark? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
1) No.
2) No.

Will apple give option of upgrade transfer?

Okay as you may know when you try to upgrade threw your MyVerizon the option of transfering upgrade is a choice. My question is I currently don't have an upgrade I am the primary by the way. The reason is because i gave my upgrade to my bro last sept. So basically i am taking his upgrade this time around his upgrade was on november of last year. If I preorder from Apple will i be able to have his upgrade transfered to mine phone number or should i just do it with verizon. I prefer to preorder from Apple though i have purchased many things from them already.

From what the reps on the board have stated now you won't even be able to transfer upgrade at the time of purchase from Verizon. I guess in order to cut down on chaos and confusion they are not allowing the transfer of upgrades at the present moment. But that option will occur at a later date.
Now, with all thing there ARE loopholes. There is nothing that stops you from upgrading to the iPhone and activating it on your brothers line to accept the TOS that are associated with signing a two year contract. Then contacting the CSRs and having them switch the ESN over to your line. However, doing this makes your phone "used" and I'm pretty sure that will void your ability to get insurance through Verizon.
Someone else may have more information. Good luck!

Will apple tv version 1 run hulu plus

I am using a Apple Tv generation 1 to have composite video instead of HDMI to connect to a lower resolution tv. I want to use Hulu Plus which does run on later generation Apple Tv's. When I start up the Apple Tv I do not see Hultu as a supported program, under Interned I see Itunes and Radion. Is there a way to update the software on the Apple Tv generation 1 to be able to access Hulu Plus

No the AppleTV has not been updated for some time and will not be updated.

I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe!

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook - running on OS X V.10.6.8... but I'm looking at upgrading the Operating System to V.10.10. Will your latest version of LIghtroom (the one I can currently get a free one month trial of from your site) work with Apple's late

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook - running on OS X V.10.6.8... but I'm looking at upgrading the Operating System to V.10.10. Will your latest version of LIghtroom (the one I can currently get a free one month trial of from your site) work with Apple's latest operating system - Yosemite V.10.10? Or will LR only work with V.10.7, 10.8 or 10.9?
Thanks, Seamus

Hey, problem solved. One of the drives was faulty. I erased the 2nd drive (which was showing up as the degraded raid slice), deleted the RAID set and restored the 2nd drive from a back-up disk image. After that, when I booted using 'option' I was presented with two boot disks but only one that worked. And when it did boot up only the reformatted disk was showing in Diskutil so I'm guessing the second one is knackered. With it still in place the server still wouldn't boot up from a full shutdown, but the moment it was removed it booted up no probs. Wakes up from sleep as well so it seems sorted.
So now just need to decide whether I'll bother with replacing the second drive or just use an external back-up. I have just bought a 1TB drive to back up to so will probably just go with that.
Btw, is there anyway I can test the drive I removed to see if can be saved?
Thanks for all your help. Your siamese twin comment was the push I need to erase the drive, I'd be holding off before that.

I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

Msvcr80.dll error is this a bug. Will Apple provide a fix?

I recieved a message for an updated version of itunes. However, after installing the newer version, itunes stopped working and began sending a MSVCR80.dll error. Is this a bug? Is Apple aware of how many users this is impacting? Will Apple provide a fix? This is unacceptable.

Will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit version of iTunes

On 64 bit Windows 7, will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit installation of iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support to a new 64 bit version of the software when a new version comes out or will it try to install pure 32 bit versions of the software when I use Apple Software Update.
Basically, is Apple Software Update smart enough to realize that the version of Windows 7 I am using is 64 bit and that I used the 64 bit package to install iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support, etc originally. I know that the software is not entirely 64 bit, but I would like to keep the parts that are.
Thanks.

The answer is "yes, ASU does download the 64-bit stuff on a 64-bit PC".
I uninstalled iTunes, BonJour and Apple Mobile Device Support (all of which have at least some 64-bit componentry) on the 64-bit Vista system. Did an "iTunes + QuickTime 9.0.3" install via ASU. The 64-bit pieces were all in place after the ASU update. (AMDS program files, iTunes miniplayer stuff, iPod Service Module, 64-bit BonJour namespace provider, and so forth.)

Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?

Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?
When I check for the software upgrade on my Mac-book Air, it is showing that the above upgrade is available. Will it be charged? I am not asked the ‘ Apple ID’ before start of up gradation process , does that mean that such upgrades are free?
If yes, How much are the chargers for such upgrades?
Thanks for your inputs.

10.7.6 does not exist.
The next one will be Mountain Lion 10.8 and will cost a little amount.
The Mountain Lion is not an "update", but an "upgrade": a different OS: before installing you should check the compatibilty of your hardware and software.

Will Apple update PHP to version 5.3.2 in SL Server 10.6.3 update ?

Current bundled version is PHP 5.3 which is buggy and insecure.
I would like to avoid having to compile my own version.
There is an update around the corner, but I can't find this useful information.
Can any person that have access to the current beta let me know if Apple updated PHP to 5.3.1 or 5.3.2
Thanks.

So, when will Apple upgrade to 5.3.2?
I have this notice:
Warning: PHP 5.3.1 has a bug in it and is not supported by MediaWiki. You should use PHP 5.3.0 or PHP 5.3.2 instead.
The bug is:
[2009-12-06 23:40 UTC] tstarling at wikimedia dot org
Description:
This is a regression in the PHP 5.3.1 release. When you call a __call() function with a reference parameter, it is silently converted to a value, by the time it reaches the second argument to __call().
This breaks MediaWiki and has no obvious workaround.
Reproduce code:
function foo( &$x ) {}
class Proxy {
function __call( $name, $args ) {
debugzvaldump( $args );
calluser_funcarray( 'foo', $args );
$arg = 1;
$args = array( &$arg );
$proxy = new Proxy;
calluser_funcarray( array( &$proxy, 'bar' ), $args );
Expected result:
PHP 5.3.0 produces:
array(1) refcount(4){
[0]=>
&long(1) refcount(5)
Actual result:
array(1) refcount(4){
[0]=>
long(1) refcount(3)
Warning: Parameter 1 to foo() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/tstarling/src/php/stuff/test-reference-call.php on line 8

Since upgrading iTunes 10.5.1.42, I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert movies.

I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert my movies for use with my iPad2. The movie will go through the conversion process, and is the correct length, but the video is a black and there is no sound? Has anyone found a similar problem? If so, what can I do to fix the problem? Before I used Handbrake to convert the videos which worked well, but now that is not working either .

No, there is no direct download link. Those are days of the past, I'm afraid. You may need to reinstall Mavericks.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

HT1600 I have Apple TV version 7.4.2 and we pressed on the remote the select button and the menu button at the same time to update our software. The box shows white light, we can get the screen to select netflix but nothing will move and the box will not

I have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.

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.
