Apple TV 2.1 Screenshots – ATV4mac 2.1
Good news!
We just released ATV4mac 2.1.0 (includes MobileMe support + Remote)
Remote is an application for the iPhone used to control your ATV over WiFi.
ATV4mac is an installer that enables you to run Apple TV Take 2 on your mac/PC.
It will replace your Front Row application, with a special Apple TV Front Row application.
By launching Front Row, you will get full Apple TV support on your mac/PC.
Please read the FAQ before you run the installer : FAQ
Warning: ATV4mac is compatible with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8+ Intel only
Leopard and PPC macs are not supported.
Apple TV Software has been updated to version 2.1 to support the new ‘MobileMe’ service.
And to add a pretty nice feature that allows an iPhone to control ATV.
We could not wait to try this out on our macbook!

The usual ATV4mac loading screen everyone knows… :)
A new menu appears under Photo, it’s “MobileMe” !
Wow Sorry guys, I don’t have a MobileMe account yet… :p
Time to try that neat feature Apple gives us for FREE !
Ok, it appears that I need to pair my iPhone with Apple TV, let’s try
Just need to input those numbers I see on my iPhone in the Apple TV
Yes, my iPhone connects to Apple TV and I can control it. Thank you Apple!
That’s all for today folks ;)

Well have Just tried a Leopard Client Virtual Machine and well, front row is there but when launched it brings up only a black screen, no audio etc.
Having failed with all i attempts i stopped trying to get what i previously worked on (above) to work. but having recently started up again to see what i could do. i found the reason that my Tiger Install using Fusion 2 wouldnt run atv4mac because the app needs intel and Fusion 2 uses athlon in its virtual machine.
I can’t tell from the screenshots, but can you control DVD from the menu system like you can in the stock front row? If not, would it be hard to add? That way you can really control ALL of your media via your excellent interface!
How can I take screenshots on an Apple TV?
Thanks in advance.
Whats the word on iTunes sync. Has that issue been resolved yet or no?
What does ATV4Mac 2.1 download? I cannot connect my MacBook to the internet… is there a way I can download the file elsewhere and copy it into a local directory? Thanks.
Hi Isaac, here is what you will need to do now since Apple pulled out the firmware from their server. You will need to download the 2.1 apple TV update dmg from some place I can’t tell you (google it sorry) and place the dmg inside the following directory : /var/root/ATV4mac
Supposing that the dmg is on your Desktop, you will need to type the following commands in Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) :
sudo -s
(then type your password)
cd /var/root
mkdir ATV4mac
cp -r /Users/yourusername/Deskptop/update_firmware.dmg /var/root/ATV4mac/.
Then run atv4mac installer and it should find the dmg.
Additional hints :
- For atv4mac 2.1.0, you need to find the file named : 2Z694-5485-1.dmg
- YouTube and iTunes sync does not work with atv4mac 2.1.0, I suggest you use atv4mac version 1.5.1 which is the most stable one.
For atv4mac 1.5.1, you will need this dmg : 2Z694-5428-3.dmg
Happy hacking !
Thank you “admin”! The install worked… but how do I launch it without a remote? Apple-Esc doesnt seem to work and i dont have my remote either.. haha.
You can launch it by double clicking on Front Row.app which is located in /System/library/CoreServices. But you will need a remote to control it of course.
Or you could use IRKeyboardEmu from Brandon Holland, that will give you the ability to control Front Row.app (Apple TV) via keyboard.

I think it will only work with atv4mac 1.5.1, not sure about 2.1.0.
Can’t connect to iTunes 8.0. Could you help in any way? thanks
Herns,
iTunes sync only works with atv4mac 1.5.1.
Hi, when will you solf the problem with itunes syncing ???? i hope you will hack it soon. cause who needs an updat what does not work.
hi, i’ve installed atv4mac 2.1, didn’t work and now i’m on 1.5.1. The case is the same, after i opened front row, the apple logo screen pops out and after a few seconds, it goes back to my desktop. I’m running hackintosh 10.4.8 AMD.
What should i do?
thanks.
Pls release atv4mac 2.1.2!!! With iTunes!
Best Claas

Does anyone have a copy of ATV4mac_1.5.1.zip that i can have or know where i can find it? the links on this site are dead :(
Hi mark, I just fixed the issue, you can try to download again.
We have switched domain registrar, so everything should be in order now.
Thanks buddy!
I found this process for fixing the HDCP problem on the *real* Apple TV. Anyone know how it might work with ATV4mac?

I’m getting an error when trying to install ATV4Mac
After clicking install, the status bar of Downloading immediately fills and displays the below error
Error: Couldnt download ATV Take 2.1.0 files
I’ve installed ATV4Mac successfully on another system about a month ago.
I’m running 10.4.11 with all app and system updates
Installed XCODE from my original OS disks
And running the installer from applications folder.
Tried downloading and using the 1.5.1 installer. This loads and prompts to update itself to 2.1.0
which goes through fine. Upon restarting i get the same error.
Can any 1 tell me is there anything im missing?
or if the files are offline and unavailable.
I’m in the same boat…. installed a month or two ago, needed to set up a new box, and now I get the same error as above – “Couldn’t download ATV Take 2.1.0 files”
Help?
Guys, please read comment #57 on this page, it’s all explained.
Thanks for the reply – I didn’t realize 1.5.1 was better to use, and I’m having a hell of a time finding the firmware, but at least I know – thanks much!
Yeah… I’ve scoured the net looking for 2Z694-5428-3.dmg. If anybody can help me out, I appreciate it – email atvanon@hyperfocused.com

Hello,
I can’t find anywhere firmwares 2Z694-5485-1.dmg or 2Z694-5428-3.dmg.
Pay 5 $ to download this files is a problem for me (Free files from Apple at the origin)
There is someone who have one of this files ?
This person can upload the Dmg on Rapidshare or any hosting website ?
Thank you
so let me get this right, as im a bit slow
1 – download the ATV file
2 – download and load the xcode file
3 – download the dmg file noted above in the members section,
and that is the whole shooting game, it should all work?

skr3dii,
I have 1.5.1 running now for a while after downloading the dmg's from the members page. Thank you for the enjoyment! :)
Could you give insight on why you stop developing this product?
Could someone maybe inspire you to get going again or offer assistance?

Sure if you have the required skills, you can reverse mach-o binaries, you are more than welcome if you want to help. Currently I got controls via mouse working but still no youtube and iTunes sync… Unfortunately time is missing as I have other projects running. SO if someone has the time, let me know.
coolm but where is the link?
Any hope of getting this up and running on Snow Leopard in the forseeable future? This is a fantastic product, but I'd rather not downgrade to Tiger to run it. I will gladly donate $100 toward this effort, if that would help.
Hi is ATV4mac still available? only the Installer through up a download error when i run it!?
