A few days ago, I have purchased atv flash 4.4 (1g Apple TV) and then installed it onto my 1g Apple TV.
Installing was fine but whenever I tried to select setting such as Maintenace> install Extra, or Manange plugins ,or Nito TV > settings. etcs, Apple TV becomes very slow and then clashes. I have installed several times but the same things happen.
First I have the white apple tv box, so it is first generation.
Second when I initially set it up I had a PC (I don’t know if this makes a difference, but I think so) Because now we run everything on a mac pro. So I started up my pc and downloaded the 4.4 atv flash software onto the pc. (Initially I had tried it on the mac and it did not work)
Third I have an external drive where we direct all the movies too. I did not know if it was black because it could not read where to install the software. The white apple tv only has one external usb port. So I plugged in a usb hub with several ports and plugged in the external 1 Terabyte drive and the usb flash drive with the 4.4 flash software.
Then I ran it one more time, it may have been a couple of times, but I finally got back all the movies we have put on the apple tv and the new software worked.
In summary we had several variables going on and as I thought of everything and played with it then it came together. Hope this helps someone.
So, I got mine working but it was a huge pain. Basically, I had to get satellite internet to speed things up. Then, I returned everything to factory stock. After that, I d/l’d the new version of ATV Flash and installed it. From then until recently, everything worked fine. Now, I’m having other issues.
What’s up with support the last few months…? They never seem to respond (i.e. Support). Weird.
