Q: Why can my apple tv 2 not find the latest update?

I tried selecting the  update software option and it says that my apple tv is up to date. I checked the about section and it says that I am currently running apple tv software 5.3. IOS build 6.1.4. I know this is not the most current version. How can I make it find the most current version? I want my itunes radio on my apple tv.

    I've tried to restore and reset the Apple TV, but neither action triggered version 6.0 to download and install. Still stuck on version 5.3.

    I have one remaining Apple TV (second generation, Model # A1378, Order # MC572LL/A) that I have yet to update. As a result of a large number of threads appearing in a short period of time reporting that the update is no longer available, I tried to update my own and was told it was up to date.

     

    It’s therefore quite possible the update has been temporarily removed and the best advice I can provide is to sit tight and wait.
