edit "/etc/hosts" and remove what was added to prevent the update.

i used the code you previously provided to disable auto-update:


sudo bash -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts'

what should i remove to get it to update again

edit "/etc/hosts" and remove the line "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com"

nano works well for editing files

sudo nano /etc/hosts

google "osx nano" for info on how to use nano.

any appletv os update will nuke osboot. that's just how it works. so update then re-patch.
