Your Apple TV could not be restored to factory conditions. Try again or...

My Apple TV is actin' the fool:
Your Apple TV could not be restored to factory conditions. Try again or go to www.apple.com/support for help.
I found one archived topic about this that was unsolved.
Anyone?

I kind of figured it might be that the hard drive partition with the restore image is inaccessible. It is pretty silly that running the built-in diagnostics show the thing is working fine and has no problem.

  • Apple TV could not be restored. Apple TV konnte nicht wiederhergestellt werden. Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten (14).

    Hi,
    I have an Apple TV, 2nd or 3rd generation (how to find out?).
    It is still on 5.0 as I cannot upgrade it.
    Whatever I do I get the error message that the upgrade did not work.
    What I tried:
    1. standard upgrade
    2. complete restore
    3. restore via iTunes, Apple TV connected via Micro-USB cable.
    In all 3 cases the upgrade looks good initially, the software is downloaded, the upgrade starts. After some time I get the error message "An error occured".
    On the iTunes restore the German error message was "Apple TV konnte nicht wiederhergestellt werden. Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten (14)".
    My translation of the error message "Apple TV could not be restored. An unknown error occured (14)".
    I should mention that the Apple TV works but only with 5.0 functionality.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    This error code is rare, and typically misunderstood.
    I can't disclose details of one way in which error -22 is reproducible with the HFS Plus file system, but your observation – that the problem persists after use of fsck_hfs (with Disk Utility) – is consistent with my assessment that fsck_hfs simply can not detect file system inconsistencies of this type.
    Please note that error code -22 may occur with perfectly good hardware, so anyone in this situation should not rush to assume drive failure.
    You should assume that there has been dataloss from the affected file; that it will be irreparable. If you can, restore from a backup of a point in time before the dataloss.

  • HT1595 APPLE TV COULD NOT BE RESTORED

    When I switched on my 3rd Gen Apple TV on 2 days ago it said there was an update. But when I tried to update it, the update failed. It then told me to restore the device by connecting to itunes. When I connect it to itunes it is unable to restore the device - "Apple TV could not be restored. An unknown error occured(9)". I've tried different micro USB cables and even different machines (imac and work PC) but same error message every time. Any ideas on how to fix this, or is an inconvenient trip to the apple store required. The device is only 3 months old so will be covered under warranty, just annoyed it has broken so quickly!

    You might try the following:
    Launch iTunes
    Connect the Apple TV to your computer
    Using the Apple TV aluminum remote, hold down both the Menu and Down buttons for about 6 seconds until the device reboots
    After reboot, release both of the buttons, and then immediately press and hold the Menu and Play button together
    Continue holding until you see a message in iTunes saying an Apple TV in recovery mode has been detected

    I have no idea where you're seeing this message, but one possibility is that someone else has access to your Apple ID and is trying to purchase that item. If nobody else is supposed to have access to your Apple ID, it may have been hacked. See:

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • Odd Partitions after Restore to Factory Condition, Why?

    HP Compaq Presario CQ57, Windows 7 Home Premium SP-1 64 bit
    A month ago I bought an HP Compaq Presario CQ57 notebook (laptop), which comes installed with 2 x 1GB RAM modules. It functioned fine. A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded the RAM by replacing one of the 1GB modules with a 4GB one.
    When I restarted Windows, yes, it did blue screen momentarily, but recovered with another start and then things went well for a week.
    Then, upon attempting to reboot, it failed. On the Windows Welcome screen, it flickers briefly before it fails and goes to a blue screen.
    Using the HP Recovery Console,  after trying a recovery that didn’t work, I tried the option of restoring to factory condition. Then,  it still produced blue screens, giving error messages like IRQL less than equal and Page fault in non-page area.
    I replaced the new RAM with the original 2 x 1GB RAM and tried a restore to factory condition option again. This time it worked. However, the hard drive partitions are odd.
    Disc Management

    As you can see, Disk 0 is divided into
    System 199 MB, C 75GB, not labled 133.34 GB, Recovery D 19.38, HP TOOLS E 3.97 GB.
    Ignore the CD ROM below.
    Isn’t System supposed to be on C? And the 133.34 GB unallocated space isn’t supposed to be there either.
    I ran the restore to factory again and it produced the same disk partitioning. I consulted HP customer service, and they sent me a Windows disk and wants me to try restoring from that rather than from the Recovery provided on the hard drive. I haven’t done this yet, but is there an explanation? And actually, can’t I simply expand the C partition to the unallocated space to the right?

    No "system" is the boot partition windows 7 installs by default, it is ok ...
    In Disk Manager (see the pic above), the C partition has "boot" in parentheses after "Healthy". Customer Service claims it's tools from Microsoft, but I'm not satisfied that's correct. And it's only 199 MB. 
    So to be clear on my question, What is the rightmost partition, the one labeled "System" in the above pic? It appears the OS and boot are on C. 
    And how should Disk Manager look on a normal, successful restore?

    i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

    "This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

  • Apple Configurator could not open your library

    Hello all,
    I am having an issue with apple configurator.  It froze up while I was running app and iOS updates on an iPad and I had to Force Quit Configurator.  When i tried to reopen i got the error that says  "Apple Configurator could not open your library. The file couldn't be opened."
    My latest backup of this computer is a bit old so I am trying not to have to restore this computer with that backup and have to backtrack a bunch.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get the library back or restore it without having to fully restore from a backup of the computer.  
    thanks

    I've had the same error appear as well and have managed to fix it.
    Inside the /Users/Shared/SC Info folder is a file named "SC Info.sidb". Both the file and the folder are hidden so you'll have to remove it using Terminal.
    rm /Users/Shared/SC\ Info/SC\ Info.sidb
    Delete this file and it will work again.
