2nd gen Apple TV shows setting date and time

and it won't reset the get passed it

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

  • HT204291 whenever i turn on apple tv the screen just shows 'setting date and time'

    i also get an error code 200500 on my macbook when i try using airplay

    It sounds like there's a problem with either the software or hardware of your AppleTV.  Try unplugging AppleTV for at least 15 seconds, then plugging it back in. If AppleTV still does not work as expected, try the troubleshooting and restore process outlined in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367.

  • Having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation

    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.

  • I plug the Apple TV in and it just says setting date and time.

    When I plug the Apple TV in it just starts up setting date and time. Tried unplugging  it and resetting using the remote but it is unresponsive

    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.

  • Can not set date and time on a new Apple TV

    can not set date and time in a new appletv

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

  • Why is the screen from my Apple TV doesn't go past setting date and time and the screen stays black

    My Apple TV screen turns on black and stays on setting date and time a few seconds after that it stays black but on light is still on and nothing else happens,I can't get it to do anything else!I just moved and have a new router and I think that might be the reason but I don't know! Please help!!!!

    I have the same issue and seeking an answer...
    I have already reset my ATV3 to factory defaults twice and connected it directly to the router, but the problem remains the same... BTW, I connected it to the two routers of two different networks I have at home... It reacts the same to both nw....
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • All of a sudden my ATV came up with a message stating trying to set dat and time however cannot access. Could this be due to the recent hacking of Apple or is it something new. How do I fix?

    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)
        5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • 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.
