Will there be a software update? (iCloud)

Hello,
I was wondering if Apple is going to update the Apple TV software when MobleMe is officially over and replaced with iCloud?
The reason I ask is because MobileMe isnt accepting new account applications, and I dont currently have a MobileMe account. And so the MobileMe app on my Apple TV is useless. But I do have an iCloud account. So will they replace the MobileMe app with an iCloud app on June 30th or sometime soon...Does anyone know? Or will they wait until iOS 6 comes out? It just seems silly to wait until then when they could implement the change on June 30th or sometime breifly afterward.
Any info would be helpful,
Thanks.

Not having to have a computer on is a great benefit for things you can stream that you've purchased, internet connection caps etc allowing.
If I ever get around to getting Virgin optical I would use it even more.  Strangely the AppleTVs mostly get used now for kid's stuff I would never buy (from Netflix) and music - with music my slow internet is more than capable of using iTunes Match on the family room TV for songs/music videos - if I want the lossless CD rips I'll use the Mac Mini in the room I have my hi-fi.
The downside again of Apple TV Show/Film purchases is the video quality.  I was pleased to see they now have the original Star Trek series in HD in iTunes here.  Unfortunately when I bought an episode to try out yesterday the resolution was only 960x720 which is dissapointing.  I have series 1 on HD-DVD (yes, I know) and it is very impressive, whereas the HD iTunes purchase seemed little better than DVD and oddly artificial looking.
If I'm paying good money for things I really do want optimum quality whether it's video or music.  Until iTunes offers lossless CD quality I see no reason to buy from there other than convenience when the CD is usually cheaper.  Same goes for movies/TV Shows - I bought a boxed set of kids movies (17 titles) for the cost of 3 or 4 from iTunes - it makes no sense other than convenience.
All that aside when they integrate AppleTV with Twitter, Facebook, Habbo Hotel or whatever I suspect we'll be done here

  • Will there come a software update for the "older" ipods?

    Hi all, will there come a software (firmware?) update for the new menu of the Ipod Video?
    I have an Ipod video 60Gb and I'm really happy with it, but I found out that the newest ipods have some extra functionality in menu structure, which enhances the search.
    Thanks for your answers!

    Thank you for your answer.
    Well, they might not have had the possibility then...
    Maybe it's just one of those features that were invented later...
    My wife has an Ipod Mini and it has less menu possibilities than my ipod video...
    I have posted the request, but as stated it will be very unlikely that they will answer the request.
    Thanks anyway, ipod is really the best!
    Best regards, Jean Loyens, Belgium
    Unlikely. If Apple had wanted this feature for older
    iPod videos, they would've implemented it in the last
    update.
    However anything is possible so if you want it,
    suggest it to Apple here.

  • When will there be a software update for the Media Hub?

    1. Many issues related to playing media types - Need updated or increased CODEC's - Flash, MPG, Divix, WMP should ALL play. Why don't you put ALL the CODEC's in???? 
    2. Support for iTunes playlists.  This should be a basic funtion.
    3. Funtion to get rid of duplicates as common sense tells you that he Media Hub will see your iTunes LIbrary and the built in function of "Import" creates duplicates.
    4. Support for better identification of iTunes related Album artwork.  It's there! Wht does the Media Hub not see it as iTunes does?
    5. Larger buffer options to cut back on load times for large libraies of photo files. Don't mind giving up some disk space for this too or using an external mem card! 
    6. Better Sony Play Station support as SP3 sees files as not compatible, yet plays them and not others. 
    7. When can we expect some form of software update?
    8. Does the Media Hub (405) run faster with a single drive if you turn off the two drive option?

    1. You have to understand that it would be close to impossible to place all the codecs in one device. As some codecs requires DRM.
    2. I'm not sure what codec you are after in itunes since M3U is supported by the media hub. Supported File Types for the Built-In Media Player in the NMH
    3. I strongly agree with you in this one. Duplicate files using the Import Tool should be automatically be removed. That's why I don't use the Import Tool anymore instead I just use the NTI Shadow when transferring files automatically to the hub.
    4. The media hub uses AMG Server to look for album artworks. But the last upgrade of the firmware allows you to use your album arts without the interference of the AMG Server but the art must be tagged on the media file.
    5. I agree with you on this one as well.
    6. I always keep in mind that not all devices works as what we expect it to be. So better just bear with the Play Station support until we get some updates.
    7. Only LinksysbyCisco can answer that. LoL
    8. The media hub functions the same way regardless whether you are running on 2 drives or 1. But of course, there will be some minor differences on Read and Write performance when running on RAID 1 since both the drives will have to read and write the same files into it making the processor double its work.

  • Will there be a software update for 7th gen

    Is Apple planning to kill the iPod? Release an iPod 8th gen? Or any new software with features? (Not sure if you can give any of this info)

    We are all users here like yourself. There won't be any new firmware with features and you will just have to wait and see if Apple is going to update the Nano or Shuffle (the Classic is already gone).

    I am a lucky customer of two of these storms....once which arent 3 weeks old and the first one the one that was my phone locked up in the first week and i was mashing the screen not hard and the **bleep** thing broke...well verizon says you have 30 days till you can no longer buy the phone insurance and who would of thought in my first week the **bleep** touch screen would break by me tapping on it trying to get the locked up software to respond....and guess what verizon said there is nothing they can do  to a phone with a cracked screen....and also both phones blackberrry storms that were sent to me were used equipement.  but  I am still repsponsible for the two contract agreement and I cant even use the **bleep** phone...also they say you can add insurance within 30 days of new purcchase not the phone that was malfuntioned and the screen cracked....but they let me add it to the second line....i think its very dirty of verizon to send used phones with two contracts to someone and it malfuntion like that and not replace the phone...and still hold the customer responsible for two year contract...after all the **bleep** trouble the storms have been giving customers...thats why they are sending the **bleep** things out free of charge...dont get scammed and screwed like I did go with Tmobile or att..

    The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

  • HT4623 I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update.  What do I do?

    I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update.  What do I do?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.
