update all mine earlier...

one needed to be restarted before tho...

I did numerous restarts, even did a reset

next option is to plug it in via USB into iTunes and restore / update

My Apple TV updated without a hitch

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ postponed, not cancelled

they claim because the app was leaked to users it caused their servers to be over loaded and crashed, so they postponed the launch.

Blackberry wants more users but then their servers crash when they do get more users - lolwut?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ probably by Microsoft lol

My Apple TV updated without a hitch

Same with me - no issues at all, except it took somewhere between 30-45 mins to download and update.

Did it on the day it was released.

apparently Apple pulled the update because users reported problems with it

https://discussions.apple.com/message/23096247#23096247

Not sure if that is accurate though

[dredman1]

^^^ hmm - if that's true, I hope the issue is just with the install, and not a problem with the actual update...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ so it's true that Apple pulled the 6.0 Apple TV OS

"Apple TV 6.0 Update Pulled After Users Report Bricking, Other Issues"

On Friday, Apple launched its 6.0 software update for its Apple TV set-top box, but soon after, some users reported that the update bricked their devices while others were a bit luckier and just lost their connection to the Internet or had to restore their machines. Some users are also reporting extremely slow download speeds and many seem to have lost some or all of the movies and TV shows they downloaded from Apple’s servers. Now, it looks like Apple has pulled the update, which was the first to introduce its new iTunes Radio service to the set-top box.

Apple’s own support forums are currently full of complaints about these issues.

For some users with multiple Apple TVs at home, the update seems to work on some and fail on others. It’s unclear what exactly causes these issues, which seem to affect both the Apple TV 2 and 3.

While the Apple TV is typically a standalone device, getting it back to work may mean that you have to connect it to your PC or Mac to restore it. To do so, you need a micro USB cable, connect the box to the PC, bring up iTunes, select the Apple TV in the Devices list and click ‘restore.’ That’s not very complicated (and easy for anybody who has ever tried an Apple TV jailbreak), but it’s also not something most users would even think about doing. For some, however, even this procedure doesn’t work.

So far, we haven’t heard anything official from Apple, but it’s clear that the 6.0 update has been pulled for the time being (it’s currently not available for my personal Apple TV either). We will update this post once we hear more.

Must be one of the lucky ones. I've had no issues with that update. Hopefully never will.

9 MILLION

Apple just set a new all-time record for iPhone launch sales: it reports selling nine million total iPhone 5s and 5c units this weekend, well over the 5 million of the iPhone 5 launch last year. While the company isn't breaking down sales by individual models, it notes that the initial iPhone 5s supply has already sold out. The company also mentioned that more than 200 million devices are already running iOS 7. That's the fastest software upgrade in history, according to Apple. While it's difficult to put the sales and download figures into context without directly comparable numbers from rivals, it's clear that the new devices are off to a strong start.

That extremely slow download was the only issue I had. Otherwise it worked fine thereafter, iTunes Radio and all.

Hopefully it continues that way

[SRASC]

iPhone 5 - 5 million (3 days)
iPhone 5S/C - 9 million (3 days)
Galaxy S4 - 10 million (30 days)
One - 5 million (30 days)

(If someone could find the Galaxy S4 & One's launch weekend numbers it would be nice to compare them)

About the Apple TV update, I did notice the long update time as well, but as I said before, no issues beyond that.

No BBM for another week at least

The team is now focused on adjusting the system to completely block this unreleased version of the Android app when we go live with the official BBM for Android app. We are also making sure that the system is reinforced to handle this kind of scenario in the future. While this may sound like a simple task – it’s not. This will take some time and I do not anticipate launching this week.

It's on its way!!!

[~*SiLvA MeRa*~]

Hey guys, I updated to IOS7, battery life seems to have taken a hit but the only real hiccup I am having with the update is I can't get iTunes Radio to work, I keep getting an error msg that the station is unavailable and try again later, I have tried with multiple stations on multiple times and same msg, my account is on the US storefront so I don't think that is the problem. Enlighten me please.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ try closing all the apps and hard restarting your phone.

You can also try signing OUT of iTunes and signing back in again.

[~*SiLvA MeRa*~]

Thanks Duane, signing out of iTunes and then back in worked, much appreciated.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ now you can tell Siri what to play e.g. "play Alternative on iTunes Radio"

once you set up your stations you can then tell Siri which one to play

[smr_fingers]

It's on its way!!!

tmobile option u chose?

lemme know how much it costed you to clear

Would also like to know. Considering ordering from the online store. You use a credit card? VTM?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Tmobile contract free option in Apple USA online store. Had access to a US credit card. Didn't bother with TT credit card as I have had issues in the past ordering. Alternatively you can pay via wire transfer too no hassle.

No customs charges as I am letting a friend bring it in. If you want an idea of the customs charges though multiply the price by 38% to get a ballpark figure.
