Apple TV Won't update.
It always says 'not successful'. Restart.
Then I restart it and it says the same thing again.
If you go this route, be sure your ATV is disconnected from the TV and anything else first. Plug the mini USB first into your computer, then the ATV, then the power cord to the ATV. Otherwise the ATV won't appear in iTunes.
Thanks chenks, good to know. I didn't connect my HDMI cable though. I plugged in the power cable as that was listed in the instructions I found but appreciate knowing it's not needed. Thanks again.no power is required when connecting to itunes via USB.
you also can't connect the USB whilst an HDMI cable is cable, so no chance of connecting the USB whilst it is still connected to the TV.
Great work by apple btw, a update that doenst work over ethernet!
Some people have commented that they let their's go overnight and it was ready the next morning. So don't bail unless you are 100% sure.Yeah, brutal experience with this. It's been 10 minutes, and the 'preparing' progress bar isn't even halfway.
Apple's quality control has fallen off a cliff. #
maybe it didn't work for you, but it worked fine for me over ethernet on my 2 ATV3's.
remove the power cable to 15 seconds or so.
reconnect and try again
Having same trouble with brand new ATV from Apple store. connecting via wired ethernet -
First time I've had an apple product that was such a mess.
