Tried connecting the mini usb cable to restore via iTunes with no luck. Tried downgrading to old version but we get an error message. Frustrating.

Apple TV is not working either, here in Altrincham UK.

Whenever I try to watch purchased content it says “AppleTV cannot connect to server”. Netfkix and YouTube work, just not my iTunes apps :(

My ‘other’ Apple TV is a Mac Mini.

No really sold on the hockey puck although I have given a few as presents.

I thought the update dropped today. Because I suffer from Apple Update OCD such that I cannot peacefully co-exist with a non-updated Apple product (and so are most of you…so don’t look askance at me), I applied this update months ago to 720 and 1080p models…no issues.

I will check to see what the last upgrade was. It worked fine and may have been done a few weeks ago on my 2nd generation AppleTV.
