Screen says unable to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.  It has said this since last night

I was running into the same issue for the past few days and decided... Heck, just try the old fashioned way and unplug the thing.  Boom.  Fixed it.  Try unplugging it and doing the old reset and see how that goes.
Good luck!

    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:

    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,

    thanks

    I imagine millions upon millions of people are attempting to download and install it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + a few million more.

  • "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.

  • 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.

  • I am not able to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try later. I am using same ID and password as I do with iTunes. Can someone help me?

    I am not able to sign in. I am getting a message saying Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.
    I use the same Apple ID and password as I do with iTunes and have no problems accessing that.
    Can someone help me?

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

  • Unable to purchase! cm hd and 12 other items could not be purchased at this time, please try again later!

    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!

  • Apple tv can't connect to server

    I received the message on AppleTV that the device can't connect to the server.  Home Sharing was on, and I was able to view movie trailers and photos, but could not play music - every time I tried I received the "can't connect to server message.  Try again later".  I checked the network connection, and it was fine, and then I thought I would try signing out and signing back in again.  Big mistake, as now the message is that I can't sign on.  Using Apple TV second generation, home sharing, and software is all up to date.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!
    Melanie

    Saw some other posts which said to unplug for 30 seconds... that worked!

  • Apple tv can't connect to server after update

    I just updated my apple tv after being bugged constantly to do it. Usually it takes only a few minutes, but this time it took about 90 minutes. Now, even though I can connect to you tube, trailers, and the main splash screen comes up, I cannot log in or connect to the server. What is going on????

    I was trying to purchase something in an app that I am using but received the error, is this issue stemming from apple or the app? Or my payment option. The app is puzzles and dragons

    Hello e-b p,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    When encountering iTunes Store connectivity issues, the following resources provide the best solutions. To isolate the issue further, I'd be curious to know if it persists on other Wi-Fi networks (assuming you are using a portable computer). Either way, please attempt the steps outlined in these articles:
