Q: Should update to Apple TV take hours?

When I received a message on the TV screen that Apple TV needed to be updated, I started the update. The update went for hours and the next time I started to use Apple TV I got the same message to Update. This time I did not update and Apple TV seems as good as ever.

 

Now I wonder if I might not have updated in the first place.  Since I am able to use Apple TV to watch NETFLIX, should I just leave well enough alone.

Apple TV, iOS 6.0.1, MacBook 13 inch Late 2007

    If you are happy with the way it's working you can leave it alone but you will get nagged to update every so often.

     

    The update download time will depend on your internet speed but if other things work well hours sounds odd.

     

    It is possible there was a problem with your update downloading the first time and it didn't apply it.

     

    Once you've chosen to update leave the unit alone until it finishes the task.
