Please excuse my naïveté, but I only bought my first ATV the other week. I am having the same issues updating from the ATV connected to the television. May I therefor ask where to find the latest .ipsw on the net and how do I update it through iTunes? Can I not connect a USB and press an update button in iTunes, or is it more complicated than that?
Tanks in advance for any more basic instructions than the above.
It's actually much easier than that.
Turn on your Apple TV2, go to the "settings" menu, then down to "general", then click on "update software".
Let us know if that doesn't work, and specifically what error message you receive.
I tried it like this yesterday and it wouldn't work. Just kept getting a message about the file download being corrupted. I ended up finding the IPSW on a web site, putting it in the "Apple TV Software Updates" folder and then it did its thing correctly.
