Apple Tv is stuck on setting date and time.
I have my Apple Tv hooked up to my cellular network and it won't go passed the setting date and time screen. any ideas why it's not working?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't have an answer to your specific question but trying to use the Apple TV with a cellular connection is not advisable, you will use up your monthly allowance in minutes.

My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password
I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
Power both items back up.
At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing. But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100% -
HT1595 how do i access apple tv when screen is stuck at setting date and time
how do i access apple tv when screen is stuck at setting date and time, have unplugged system,restarted router....
Welcome to the Apple community.
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.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123. -

having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation
That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. Go to settings - general - network and ensure DNS is set to automatic. Check that your router is up to date. If on wifi try Ethernet.

My apple TV stuck on setting date and time.
Tried to fix it with all the options you gave me on forum. Turned off, turned on, changed router, changed router settings and security level, even changed the ATV. Nothing works. Last week everything was fine. What should I do?

Apple TV stuck on setting date and time
I read in another discussion that you can turn off your routers firewall temporarily and it will work. I did that. I turned off my apple tv (3rd gen) and then I turned off my routers firewall. Then I turned my apple tv back on and made sure the time setting was set to automatic. Then it let me set my iTunes login and everything was fine. I turned my firewall back on and it all works now. Try that. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but it worked in my case.

Stuck on setting date and time
Apple TV is new, straight out of box. I'm getting to the screen that says "Setting date and time. . ." Then it stays stuck there. If I bypass this screen, everything except date and time is set up, and because this is not set up, nothing is working. All other devices hooked up to wifi in the house are working and I've unplugged and reset the Apple TV and the router. How do I get this device to set the date and time?

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. -
HT1551 Stuck on "setting date and time" after a system upgrade
I have tried everything recommended including disconnecting power. Just keeps churning on setting date and time.
I believe this is a connectivity issue.
First, make sure you're connected properly via either wi-fi or ethernet.
When setting up Apple TVs for my school district deployment, we had this issue with units connected via Wi-Fi. We resolved this problem by creating firewall exceptions.
If you're setting up a unit for home, you could try creating exceptions in your router for the Apple TV. Alternatively (to test), you could set your Apple TV as the 'DMZ' device which should expose it sufficiently to see if your networking is getting in the way. -
HT1595 Stuck on Setting Date and Time
Will not set Date and Time (just keeps trying).
I was able to get my Apple TV working again by downgrading the firmware following the instructions in this message:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20008613#20008613
In case that message disappears, here's my translation:
1. Connect your Apple TV to your computer via USB. Don't plug in the power cable.
2. Download the older 5.0.2 firmware from Apple here:
5.0.2 (Apple TV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (Apple TV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3. Open iTunes and select the Apple TV. Hold down the option key and press the restore button at the same time.
4. In the dialog that opens select the firmware that you downloaded.
5. The restore process will take a few minutes. Once it's done plug your Apple TV back into your TV. If the date and time message persists just press the menu button to skip it. This got mine working again. -
Anyone know how to fix this? It's reading the remote because the light is flashing when I click on many, but it's staying on the "setting date and time" page. Any workaround here would be great. Thanks peeps!
This is indication of a network issue... .ensure that the DNS settings are set to Automatic.
If the ATV is not responding to the remote, start by unplugging the device then plugging it back in. If it still fails to respond, restore via iTunes on the computer. -

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.

My apple TV is having trouble setting date and time
While fast forwarding a purchased movie, ATV froze. Then it wouldn't play any movies. Unplugged it, restarted it, tried to reset the settings, and it keeps getting hung up on date and time. Any ideas?
Thanks!It is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be on automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try Ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router

I'm about to call, but this is my last chance. What can I do?
Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you. -
Stuck on "setting date and time" why is it doing this and I cant move to any other screne?
My question is the subject line.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reasons related to settings why it may not be able to connect to the network time server, however if your Apple TV has previously connected using the same settings these won't apply.
If your Apple TV has previously connected OK, you might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, or even a factory restore.
