I am unable to update my apple tv gen2

I just was able to update my Apple TV to 4.2.2 - New Jersey.

I just bought my ATV2 today and after a few hours of frustration I was finally able to update it (I'm in Michigan). Good luck guys.

Fellow Apple TV update victims. Wouldn't this just be a lot easier for us all, if Apple posted a message on their Apple TV support site stating that the servers are currently experiencing problems and they will announce when all global servers are fixed? It would certainly save me doing my 10th 400mb download and cursing Apple when it fails again.

Apple are you listening?

PS still not working in Australia

27th Jun 2011 - still not working in Australia.

... still now working here in Switzerland.

I bought an Apple TV a few days ago and had this problem which is clearly a worldwide problem with Apple's update servers. That did not stop my Apple support guy taking me through half an hour of resetting my modem and my Time Capsule and my Apple TV and then advising me to use a micro USB which I don't have (and which my local Apple Authorised repairer didn't have either). I bought a micro USB which didn't work (possibly a faulty cable) and tech support then advised me to send it back for repair or refund. I chose refund thinking it would be quicker to order a new ATV than to wait for a repair. It's not the fact that the update servers are not working which is annoying me it's the rigmarole of pointless attempted fixes returns and repurchasing Apple tech support put me through when they knew (or if they didn't they ought to have known) that it's a problem at their end. A bit of humility and honesty from Apple would go a long way...

I spent about 5 hours dinking around trying to find a workaround. Manual downloads, forced ipsw restored, nothing seemed to work. Apple doesn't like to admit when they have an issue. Look at the malware issue they had, the techs were told not to admit there was actual malware for macs. Maybe I'll just build a XBMC instead for about 200 bucks and return the apple TV.

27.06.11 still NOT working in germany.... duhhh Apple!

'wird langsam mal Zeit APPLE!'

You wouldn't expect them to admit that their systems have been hacked by a pre-school sheep herder in Outer Mongolia, would you?

You are right about the silence, however.

When and if this update arrives is of no great consequence in itself to most folks. it's the "Why-so, because?" bit that is so irritating.

Still not updating in Ireland, for the record.

It's more than annoying if your ATV bricked itself whilst you were on holiday, and you can't even restore it 🙂

Still not working in my part of the UK, despite some people being lucky earlier and getting the update.

😠

I am having the same problem, here in the UK. Bought it only last week.

Here in the Netherlands it is not working as well. Just got my apple tv last week and I am trying to update for the last 48 hours, but still not working.

Only will download the first 280-ish mb of the update. I bought an Apple TV over a WDTV becuase it looks like it's actually supported. Now this is just stupid.

Update still not working- Apple is suggesting I go to store or mail exchange my unit for one already updated. I'm thinking I will exchange but for a Roku 2100 XDS. PlexApp beta has just been released

Although I haven't checked this morning, the update failed late last night again. Come on Apple, post something on your site, and ADMIT that there is an issue. Like others in here, I had to search and dig before finding out about this. I called tech support about a week ago, and they would not specifically tell me what the problem was, but to just check the update in a few days to see if it was working. Are you kidding me?

I work in IT as a DBA, and if I ever tried to pull that line on my customers, I would be hung out to dry.
