iOS 5 failing to install!

Solved.

I tried updating the firmware on the ATV2 and ended up with the screen to plug the USB into my mac. I tried multiple times with both a Macbook Pro and a new 27" iMac. I tried it through iTunes using an Amazon micro USB cable and also the Kindle micro USB cable. I also tried it both ways with and without the power cable attached to the ATV2. I got an error each time saying the ATV2 was not eligible for update and a blinking light.

This is finally what worked for mine.

I went into Windows XP with Vmware Fusion and installed a brand new copy of iTunes. I plugged the ATV2 with just the micro USB cable and let iTunes update the firmware. It worked.

I got mine in best buy rocket fish for 20 bucks well thats way expensive i had no choice but i order mine in amazon for 5 bucks one is 6 ft and the other one is 10 ft... Once i received this in mail. I will return the expensive one. Yeah it works just hook it up to ur itunes and it will update. Im pretty sure u will get an error.. Ignore the error then plug it back to ur TV... When u check the update it will tells u ur ATV2 is up to date... Gudluck!!!

It works now i can go to sleep lol!!!!

Micro USB and ur good to go... Hook it up to your itunes... Those error it means the firmware has en error and they had alternative.. After u unplug frm ur itunes hook it up to ur tv and ur good to go...

Is there anyone of u guys u know how to turn off the ATV2? Coz i just bought it recently and i couldnt find the turn off switch just a sleep mode... Please let me know thanks...
