An error ocurred loading this content. Try again later

Desperate nothing I have tried works! Help!

I fought the same problem for a week. First I read and attempted the fixes that worked for others to no avail. The I got on the phone with Apple, and they suggested some of the same fixes, but not as thorough as this forum. In this process, I fully restored the ATV2 twice via iTunes, unplugged it untold number of times, changed the Dolby setting, changed the HDMI cable, changed the HDMI out setting, tried a different HDMI input on the TV, and generally banged my head against the wall. Ran speed tests from my PC through ISP and was getting 7+ Mbps download speed. Failed to mention I am using a wired ethernet connection to the ATV2, not a wireless, but in the testing I connected it to the wireless newtork instead to see if that helped but it did not. After all this, still got the error loading content if I tried to watch a Netflix video, tried to send a video to Apple TV from my iPad2, or tried to watch a video (HD or SD) from already downloaded to my shared iTunes.
So I went to the local Genius Bar, laid it all out, and without any additional discussion, they gave me another ATV2. Brought it home, set it up. SAME PROBLEM. Repeated all the steps above, no help. Then I noticed the 10/100 5 port ethernet switch I had in the cabinet sending internet to a variety of devices, including the ATV2. I disconnected the feed from the switch and plugged it directly into the ATV2, and without even unplugging/rebooting the ATV2 the problem went away. Everything worked. Despite my speed from the ISP, the switch between the router and the ATV2 was slowing it down too much. So why didn't the wireless work?Well the wireless access point I was using in the living room was feeding off the same switch.
Hope this helps.

Airplay from ipad 1 gen to ATV 3 gen "an error occurred loading this content try again later"

Hi everyone!,
I just bought a new Apple tv 3 gen which is great.
My situation is the next. I have an add hoc wifi which obviously cant connect with my ATV cause ATV doesnt have browser to set user password. This connection is not quite fast, so problem added to the previous. The thing is that I want to use my ipad 1 gen to airplay content to the apple tv. It works great with pictures and even music (my own library or spotify streamed music).
The problem comes when I try to airplay video from youtube or embedded video from safari so it keeps saying "an error occurred loading this content try again later".
I tried with my iphone 6 and with an iphone 5 and the same, no video from youtube nor web.
If I try to airplay a video that is inside my phone, it works flawlessly.
the specs say that you need at least 6mb connection, but that seems to stream directly from the ATV cause ATV doesn't have hd to store data, but my ipad streams it and plays it like a charm, but when I airplay to the apple tv got the problem.
I also can stream video from my old mac mini through the network using airparrot but it doesn't allow me to send audio, seems to be problems sending audio and video while streaming..
Any help?
does anyone solved it?
thanks in an advance!

Two problems seems to be causing this:
1- My poor download connection. Testing its speed barely reaches 1.5 download speed, though it's enough to stream movies with ipad, or computers.
2- the router I have connected to my antenna to create my own network. it is a normal 150 mbps tp-link range extender which is used to create a wifi. This 150 mbps might be much more than a half.
I have tried with a 300 mbps router and now I don´t get the error, but it seems that streaming with my ipad and airplay to the apple tv overloads the network and it loads quite slow in my atv.

How do I request a refund for a movie after receiving the "An error occurred loading this content. try again later." error?

I watched the first 11 minutes of a movie, paused and then when I tried to play again recieved the error - An error occurred loading this content. try again later. No amount of retrying later fixed the problem. I will not be able to finish watching the movie within the required 24hour window so would like to request a refund. Can anyone provide any guidance on how I go about that? Thanks.

TS2972 An error occurred loading this content try again later

I get this error constantly while trying to watch content on my Apple TV. I have changed my Apple ID, reset to factory settings, rebooted my Mac, stood on my head and threatened the device with violence. Nothing allows me to watch content I have paid for. What is causing this? How long to wait until "later" is reached and I can try again? I have already expired one rental without watching it, so this is also costing me money. So Apple - how to fix? Does anyone have any suggestions what other voodoo I can use to fix this? If it helps, I have not changed anything in the past few days and I am operating the latest software. A clue may be that I can see the names if everything in the library, but I cannot see cover art.
Help appreciated

He said he was RENTING a movie NOT downloading YouTube.
I have the same problem. Brand new ATV, and I cant get a update and I get this error when I tried to watch a rented movie. I will try the restarting options.

During the past few days I've been unable to connect to the Internet radio.The message on my screen is an error occurred loading this content,try again later.Everything else is working fine

Why have I been unable to log-in onto the Internet Radio,while continuing to have access to the other apps?

I was given these steps to follow when I had a similar problem:
1) Quit iTunes. 2) Follow the instructions for the appropriate operating system in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1597 3) After removing the SC Info folder, reopen iTunes. 4) Choose Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu. 5) If prompted, enter your account name and password, then click the Check button. 6) After the movie finishes downloading, choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu. 7) Enter your account name and password, then click the Authorize button.

HT1498 I rented a movie on Apple TV............ whenever we try to watch it, we get 'Error downloading this content, try again later'......

We have had this same message for the last week.
We can watch other movies, listen to music without an issue........... we just cannot watch this rented movie.
Can we get a refund, or have the issue sorted?
Many thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

TS3623 "An error occurred while downloading this content, try again later."

I have received this error message for over a week. I have tried resetting, restoring, unplugging, checked WiFi, connections, everything I've seen mentioned in other articles. Previews for ATV movies work, Netflix works, but newer purchases and rentals receive the error message. I recently upgraded my software and that seems to be when the trouble started. Airplay from my MacBook Pro to my ATV works. Any ideas?

I really wish it were. However, having read many of the hundreds of threads on this site devoted to this topic, I see that there are infinite workarounds that one can try, which may or may not resolve problems, there is no actual solution to the overall problem.
If you know differently, I invite you to provide the solution. But from what I gather, there is no solution to provide.

"an error ocurred loading this content"

Constantly recurring message when I am attempting to play a playlist from iTunes Match.The tune plays for about 40 seconds then reverts to the above message. When I hit the menu button I am right back with the playlist. Can I get a discount for the money I spent for iTunes Match--it ain't working.

I'm having the same problem just streaming my music to the TV via Apple TV but I don't have iTunes Match. Others are having the same issue it seems.
