How to Perform an Apple TV Software Update

Each new Apple TV upgrade adds bug fixes, greater functionality, and generally a better overall tvOS experience. To do this you will either have to manually perform an apple tv update, or schedule the new tvos update to happen automatically, whichever seems most convenient to you. If you want to go about it manually you can first unplug the device, locate your computer’s System Configuration Utility, double-click in the Shared Environment tab, then click the apple icon next to Network and Wireless settings. Finally, click on the Continue button to complete the process.

If you find that you need to run the software update process by hand, you should do so as soon as possible. It is important for the apple TV to receive the latest tvOS system settings in order to perform better. You may notice that the default settings do not work properly, or the default programs on your device are no longer working. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you download and install the newest software. Otherwise, the updates will not be able to take effect, or will at least not have the greatest affect. If you don’t have the newest version of the software for your apple TV, the update process should continue fine without any further issues, but if you do have the newest software installed, you will likely see an error message as you attempt to run the update.

If you still have an older version of the tvOS system, however, you can still perform the update by hand. First, connect your computer to the television and then download the appropriate TV Software from the apple website. Once you’ve downloaded the tvOS software, install it up through the Install tab on the product page. After you’ve installed it, select Update Applications, then click the check box next to “run all updates”. Wait until the updates complete, then you should see a green arrow prompt appear on screen. Click this green arrow and then you can proceed with the installation of the tvOS software update.
