Cannot set date& time and only computer and settings icons are showing

I am having difficulty with my appletv(MC572LL/A). It will not set the time & date after it downloaded the last update. It just stalls saying "setting date and time". I have reset the system and even re-installed the latest update to the unit but get the same results. Any suggestions?

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.

    ps: i'm hopeless.

    So what you want is for it to say Lebanon (English)?  If so, see if this helps:

  • HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time.  it also does not interact with the remote.  Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

    I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV.  I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV.  It attempts to set date and time and cannot.  I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also.  Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

    Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
    Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
    Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
    If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
    Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
    If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

  • Duplicate date, time and slide to open showing

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 5s to the new operating system.  It was fine initially.  Now it shows a date of Friday, July 26 and a time of 7:14 on my phone behind my apps.  And there is a duplicate "slide to unlock" showing at the bottom.

  • Set date/time

    I am getting message setting date/time and it takes very very long time to boot Apple TV

    Hi,
    first you need to push the setup button and then push the left or right arrow button until you see basic setting,push ok and navigate until you see date and time
    i think it's clear.

  • TS3920 iPad 1 w/ iOS 5 on Barcelona time zone location when Automatically Set Date/Time is turned on.  How do I get all of my devices back to PST time?

    After returning from an extended trip in Spain, my iPad 1 with iOS 5 retains the Barcelona location when "Automatically Set Date/Time".  Most of my Apple devices are affected, how do I get all of my devices back to PST time?  Thanks!

    Turn off Automatically Set Date/Time and set your time zone.

  • HT202157 setting network time and date

    What are the issues involved in setting the time and date on AppleTV?   Is this a network issue?

    P.C. was mentioned earlier so I will jump in and assume Windows....
    If the system is (made) a member of a Window administrative domain then all this is already in the box, and should be part of a well managed system (I have managed it on a workgroup as well, see the articles below for details). It's one of the things I try to promote as we often have systems switched on for hundreds / thousands of hours and knowing when some guy accidently switched it all off is realy usefull It helps with problems / events that occur outside our control and assists tracking down problems and stops drift / skewing of data.
    Check out the following articles for more information: -
      Basic Operation of the Windows Time Service
      http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q224799/
      Registry entries for the W32 TimeService
      http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q223184
      Windows 2000 cannot set the correct time when it connects to multiple NTP servers
      http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837196
    The time service is included on Windows XP as well. For NT4 there is / was a toolkit that allows operation from Microsoft.
    Use the command NET TIME /? (on W2K and XP)
    Either way you will come accross problems at the firewall if you want to get to an external time source. Unless you have on of those nifty little black boxes that pick up a radio signal from one of the available time sources.
    I like Dennis Knutsons idea because you can't always get IT's attention, sometimes they need a little help, thanks again Dennis for another good tip.

  • HT200197 It doesn´t let me set up time and date. It keeps searching endlessly. Therefore I am not able to use appletv

    t doesn´t let me set up time and date. It keeps searching endlessly. Therefore I can´t use appletv

    That means it is having trouble connecting to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be set to automatic. Ensure router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Reboot ATV and router.

  • With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

    With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
    With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

    Exactly the same question I was about to post!
    Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!! 
    Come on Apple!!
    Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

  • I can't set up time and date / no response or it s...

    Hi guys
    I hope You will help me.
    I purchased nokia 5800 (second hand) for my girlfriend this christmas as a present and everything is fine apart 'time and date settings'.
    When you going to 'setting' and try to select 'date and time' there is no reaction, if you trying open by clicking 'options' and than 'open' it appears straight away  'System error' message or if you trying do it from the home screen/desktop by clicking on the clock 'System error' message appears straight away.
    It is very confusing and driving me mad as this is christmas gift and she can't set up time and date.
    I've tried  update software using Nokia Software Updater and nothing
    I've restored factory setting and nothing as well. 
    Please help me
    Thank You very much for Your time
    Kind regards
    Martin

    Hi monpar77
    If you are using restore factory settings in "Phone management" due to UDP = User Data Preservation feature of this device that may not be sufficient and you may need to carry out a "hard reset" as detailed elsewhere in the forum.

  • TS1559 I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and my button is still greyed out?

    My wifi button has been greyed out ever since updating to iOS7, is there anyway to undo this update? I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and it still doesnt work!! Any help?
    Thanks.

    You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

  • On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

    We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

    You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
    You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

  • How to Sort JTable data using Multiple fields (Date, time and string)

    I have to fill the JTable data with some date, time and string values. for example my table data looks like this:
    "1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
    "1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
    Now the Sorted Table should be in the following way:
    "1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
    "1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
    ie First Date field should be sorted, if 2 date fields are same then sort based on time. if date and time fields are same then need to be sorted on String field.
    So if any one worked on this please throw some light on how to proceed. I know how to sort based on single column.
    But now i need to sort on multiple columns.So what is code change in the Comparater class.
    Thanks in advance.. This is urgent....

    I think your Schedule objects should implement Comparable. Then you can sort your linked list using the Collections.sort() method without passing in a Comparator.class Schedule(Date date, String class) implements Comparable
      public void compareTo(Object obj)
        Schedule other = (Schedule)obj;
        return date.getTime() - other.getDate().getTime();
    }
