Cannot connect to server at this time please try again later. Later never comes.

Cannot connect to server at this time please try again later. But later never comes.

I have the same error message. I just installed my new ATV3, all seems to work well but when I try to connect to my PC (menu - Computers - enter apple ID / password), I get the same error message. I updated the software first, so I don't know if it would have worked with the factory settings.
Frustrating, it seems there are a lot of people with the same problem; I thought Apple would be better than this.
'Funny' is that I was able to enter my Apple ID information and check my purchased movies and tv shows (it correctly said there were no purchased movies or tv shows). so it accepted my apple ID and password at that time. But when I try to do Computers - enter Apple ID / password, I get the same error message again.
I am able to see the ATV in my i-tunes (latest version) on my pc.
I am using a wireless connection.
I have restarted the ATV several times, to no effect.
I then restored the ATV, but it automatically starts with an automatic system update . Anyway, same problem.
Terrible - help!!!

  • HT1689 How do I resolve error message "Cannot connect to iTunes at this time, please try again later"

    When I try to update my Credit Card information in the app store and submit, I get a message, "cannot connect to iTunes, try again later" and "iTunes is unable to process your request, try again later" My billing info IS CORRECT.

    Unpower it.  If it still  happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

  • HT1551 Error Message: Unable to sign in...Apple TV can't connect to server at this time--please try later.

    Have tried all resets...no change.  All signs indicate good internet connectivity.

    Well if you have reset everything did you re-enter all the login information?  If not then it will not be able to login.

  • "apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later."

    anybody else getting this error on apple tv after upgrading? 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'
    • I was happily watching all itunes media on my apple tv but then apple tv asked me to upgrade.
    • I upgraded.
    • Now it can't connect to any menus related to the itunes store.
    • I verified I have the latest upgrade to itunes.
    • Homesharing is turned on.
    • I have restarted apple tv numerous times.
    • I CAN'T watch or listen to itunes 'movies', 'tv shows', 'music', 'podcasts'  via apple tv.
    • I CAN watch netflix, youtube, movies on my mac, itunes radio.
    • I CAN connect to the itunes store via my mac.
    • I get this error on apple tv 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'

    Lets be frank:  this is an internal server communication issue at Apple that they don't want to fix or acknowledge.    This "unable to sign in" or unable to communicate issues are all about purchase validation ONLY.  That is where it hangs up.   For example, I can see favorites but it won't access my list of purchased items.     And yet - the only advice they have is reboot?
    The same issue happens when trying to watch Netflix on ATV.   It can't connect to the Netflix server but gosh golly gee, I switch to my Roku box and no problem.   Unfortunately for Apple, while I'm over there I'm starting to to buy movies and shows from Amazon
    Apple doesn't make it's money from the $99 Apple TV sale - it's the iTunes purchases.   If we want them to listen we need to interrupt that revenue stream.

  • Netflix: netflix is currently unavailable at this time. please try again later.

    Hi,
    I've had an Apple TV2 for about a month now and today I'm having an issue with Netflix. When I try to pull up Man Men I get the following error: netflix is currently unavailable at this time. please try again later
    However every other thing I've tried playing on Netflix works. I click a movie/tv show and there's a small delay but with Mad Men that message immediately appears like it's cached.
    I tried restoing my Apple TV2, I've streamed the show on my computer and iPhone with no issues it's only on my Apple TV that I cannot watch this show.

    Same problem with Mad Men here.  Watched two episodes last night.  My wife and daughter watched four episodes this afternoon.  Then Netflix not available tonight for only this show starting around 7:00 pm.  Unplugged everything from Apple TV, reset DNS on Apple TV, and then even restored Apple TV to no avail.  All other shows are fine on Apple TV except Mad Men and Mad Men episodes stream fine to MacBook and IPad.  Can't figure this out.

    Hi everyone!
    It says: Crazy Moto HD and 12 other items could not be purchased at this time, please try again later!
    I even searched here and found a solution for the same problem by signing out from the account, closing open apps and reseting
    The device, but this could not solve my problem! I am having the problem for over a month!
    Any new solutions, thanks!

    Hi Kailik Hunter,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if you're unable to sign in to your Apple TV and continue with setup:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If you are still having trouble, you can try to reset your equipment by unplugging Apple TV, your television, your wireless networking equipment or AirPort Base Station, and your router from their power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, then plug everything back in.
    Cheers,

  • CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14.20 UK time

    WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THIS TIME?

    it's 22:23 in switzerland and the connection to the server dosen't work at all. and it didn't work all day long (1 MB in 15 minutes). sorry, this entire digital publishing thing is one big mess since the beta-version is over - and this situation is just unacceptable. we got a magazin to publish and this stuff just doesn't work - like i said, it's ten in the evening but i still gotta work, just as i did through the week-end; you can guess why.
    i work with adobe tools since 15 years - love photoshop, illustrator, flash, indesign an so on. never had any problems, perfect support and everything. i just don't get it, how a big company as adobe can't get this situation fixed... if i can't work offline anymore (as we did with the beta) then it shoudn't be to much if i ask for a server that works.
