Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not related to any hacking.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    3.    Restart your router.
    4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

    Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
    The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
    I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

    I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV.  If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first.  I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time).  Then restart the Apple TV.  See if that will get you through the activation process.  I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
    I understand your frustration, though.  Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

  • TS4268 I changed set date and time automatically to "no" and I was able to activate iMessage. This seems contrary to all the troubleshooting discussions I've been reading.

    Is there any definitive info on this subject?

    When ATV is setting date and time, and hangs there, it usually indicate there isn't a network connection.  Is your router still working, is the Internet for all the other computers on the same network working?  Have you tried changing from WiFi connection to Ethernet or vice versa?

    Did you reboot the TC? That is always the first step.
    Reboot the whole network if that is not enough.
    If you still have issues.. come back to us but generally the best way is to factory reset the TC and start over.
    We need a bit more info on the whole network layout and what OS you are running. What model TC you have??

    Hello lfsalas55,
    You may need to verify that TCP port 123 on your router is open and available for use by your Apple TV.

  • Automatically Setting Date and Time - How often does it occur?

    Can anyone tell me exactly when Mac OS X retrieves the date and time from Apple's time server? Quite often, the time on my Mac is several seconds out from the correct time. When I open the "Date and Time Preferences", it seems to sync up with the correct time and everything is good.
    Is there any way to schedule when Mac OS X automatically sets the time, or how frequently over the course of a day it sets the time? Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a utility that I can use to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Hi Barry,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have a wristwatch that receives a radio signal which transmits the correct date and time from an atomic clock in Fort Boulder, Colorado. The watch automatically picks up this signal three times a day (in the early morning so as to get the correct time once we go on/off DST) and sets my watch to it. So my watch is always accurate (so long as it can receive this signal). I have an alarm clock that uses the same principle. It's actually kinda nice...I can look at my watch and KNOW I have the right time!
    At any rate, that's how I know my Mac's clock is out a few seconds...I just check it to my watch.
    The real reason I would like to be able to schedule this function (or, at least have it occur more often) is so my Palm TX gets the correct time from my Mac each morning. I automatically sync it to my Mac every morning, and one of the conduits actually synchronizes the Palm clock to the one on my Mac.
    I'm just curious to find out when exactly Mac OS X sets the clock. Does it happen once a day? Once a week? I haven't had my Mac for all that long, so I do not know what will happen when we go off DST this spring. Will OS X (based on the date) just bump up its clock by one hour, or will it actually get the correct time from Apple's time server and sync the Mac clock to it?
    And, if there's no way the change when this happens or the frequency with which it occurs, is there anyone out there who has written a utility which can do this?
    What about Automator? I'm new to the Mac world, so I am just learning about all this stuff. When I open the Date and Time System Preferences, the clock seems to sync up at that point. Could I use Automator to do this?
    As always, any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks again for your reply, Barry!

  • Can't set date and time, stuck on that screen. Also don't have ANY apps at all.

    Whats up Apple? My Apple TV is only a few months old. Can't set the date and time and now have ZERO apps. All that shows is the "Computer" and "Settings" after staring at that spinning wheel for an hour and finally clicking menu.

  • Trying to connect apple tv brand new and the screen says 'activating' setting date and time indefinately

    just trying to connect to apple tv for the first time and the screen just stays at 'activating' setting time and date and wont let me sign in to itunes sharing until the date and time thing is fulfilled.  any thoughts on troubleshooting this issue?  thanks

    Hi I had same problems and couldn't understand most of the solutions on offer as I'm a bit of a Luddite. The problem seems to be getting ATV to register your network time and date details following the upgrade of software. I use a wireless connection at home and my firewall was blocking the ATV from obtaining this information. Instead of changing router settings, firmware etc (which is beyond me) I solved it this way:
    1. Rather than use my existing wireless connection I connected the ATV to my iPhone personal hotspot (iPhone has 3G connection). It may be another network could also be effective.
    2. ATV connected via the iPhone no problem apparently got the network time and date settings ok.
    3. The previous ATV functionality was restored.
    3. I then disconnected from my iPhone hotspot and re-connected to my main wireless connection. All worked fine.
    It seems what you need to do is side-step the router firewall problem. Hope it works for others.
