Apple TV update to 3.0.1

For those with Apple TVs, Apple released an update from 3.0 (which was released about 2 weeks ago) to 3.0.1 and sent out emails urging people to make sure they update as soon as possible.

What happens is the system appears to be missing some media – According to Apple, the system can be re-synced to remedy the issue OR run this update.

It is not common for Apple to send out an email about a software update like this UNLESS they are getting a serious number of calls or complaints about the 3.0 software “breaking” people’s Apple TVs connections to their computers. Follow the instructions below or check the website above.
