Apple TV 3rd generation problems after update to software version 7.6

you are on page 6. Go back to page 1. It may be be just to wait it out until there is a fix from Apple

7.6.1 was released over a week ago.

Not sure if it was even intended to fix the YouTube issue. As it doesn't fix it I'd suspect it was released for some other reason.

Maybe YouTube should have an update?

Also set your Sleep After to the minimum time. Otherwise sometimes it times out on the update prompt and it starts to update anyways. I had to downgrade to version 7.5 three times before I did this.

If it ends on apple.com, it is Apple and no amount of fine print is going to change that. So Apple should start participating, especially when they break something through an update and continue pushing the broken update 3 days after signals from so many different users telling them that it contains a major bug.

What is right in front of everyone is your ridiculous statement above in all caps, bold and underlined. Something you have absolutely no way of knowing. It cannot be considered help by any stretch of the imagination. On the other hand we have BMFromV's solution. Take a look, this is what help looks like.

Hi BMfromV Can you email me *** or post the solution somewhere else? it's been frustrating for me and I'm sure for the rest of the people who are being left with no option to fix it.

I'm trying to download older IPSW file but how do I determine the correct IPSW? I checked the software on my Apple TV 3 and it says 7.6, so I'm thinking there's a 7.5 version I can download to fix the issue. However, when I checked the site where I get list of IPSW, the option for version 7 is only 7.0 and 7.1. The latest version is 8.4.3. Do I miss anything? Thanks in advance

OMG, thanks for writing that! I began thinking I was the only one whose Apple TV isn't recognized neither by the PC, nor the iTunes. Did you manag to deal with the issue somehow?

I downloaded the previous software version the same very day this YouTube bug appeared but have been unable to downgrade yet☹️ I tried only 3 cables though :D

Wonder if I should buy a new data micro USB or just wait for Apple to fix the issue. Unfortunately buying a new TV isn't an option in the nearest future.

I guess if I had an iMac or a MacBook, there wouldn't be any troubles connecting the TV but alas I've got Windows😬

I just got off the phone with Apple ( no waiting ). They literally said not their problem. Said to Call You Tube. They can’t control what You Tube does. I tried telling the guy it was only after the Apple software update.

very surprised in their thinking so don’t hold your breath for a fix

Dear Apple - You screwed up your software so now your users can’t properly access one of the most popular streaming services in the world.

When are you going to fix it?

How about just rolling everyone back to the version that worked, and fixing and QA’ing properly before you release the next version?

Please post a response that tells us by when you will have this fixed and will do a push update to our Apple TVs.

Is YouTube going to have an update for Apple TV 3rd generation? Or maybe an apple fix?

if buy a new Apple TV latest version, will the a similar problem?

I remember loosing Vimeo from apple tv

3 generation. Vimeo is no longer supported on Apple TV 3rd gen .

will this be the same with Apple TV 3 ?

I just got an unopened appletv gen3. When I set it up YouTube is not on it. How can I add YouTube without upgrading the software? It currently has 6.1.1 I don't want to upgrade because of the problem of freezing with the pause button. I currently have to other gen3 units and have not been able to downgrade to 7.5
