Apple TV 3rd gen won't accept my apple ID or password.

My Apple TV refuses to accept my Apple ID and password as correct and will not allow me to access home sharing.
Home sharing is on in itunes, my wifi connection is not an issue and i have restored ATV to factory settings also. Have been through the settings numerous times and am now lost. Can someone out there help a brother out please?

  • Apple TV (3rd gen) won't turn on...please help

    My Apple TV (3rd gen) won't connect to my TV. It blinks 3 times, so i tried to reset it, but nothing happened. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem. Thanks.

    Can someone please help me? My apple tv (3rd gen) continues to blink 3 times and won't respond. I've tried doing different things that I've read through the manuel & forms: (1) holding down menu and FF for 6 seconds to pair the remote (2) unplugging the apple tv and waiting 30 seconds
    After apple tv was unplugged, it looked fine when it turned back on...but, once again the same problem remains and my apple tv remote will not work.
    Hopefully, someone can help me solve this problem.
    Thanks.

  • IPod touch 3rd gen won't charge with apple cable

    This problem with my iPod is that it just won't charge with the Apple cable to my mac. When I plug it into the wal charger from Apple it does charge, but on the USB is keeps saying that charging isn't supported with this accessory.
    Please help, since I'll have to charge my iPod with the USB for the coming 5 months!

    I know this may sound stupid, but it was the same problem I had and wanted to tell you just in case you have a case on your ipod.
    I had a soft gel case on my ipod touch and it prevented the cables from going in all the way.  It would work from time to time and in the computer USB and wall charger it would work once then not for a few weeks.  I just make sure my cover is not in the way of any of the cords and I have never had that problem again. 
    mine is the 3rd Gen touch too.

  • 3rd gen won't boot past apple symbol

    My 3rd gen ipod won't boot up. It only display the Apple symbol, makes a few clicks and restarts, looping over and over. The computer does not register it because it hasn't fully booted up. Tried connecting it to both mac and pc. I cannot reset it or restore it.
    Trouble started when ipod did not sync correctly.

    My 3rd gen just did the same thing. I would guess it is toast. Anyone? I tried a reset, but no luck. I was hoping I could restore it, but it will not even be acknowledged by my computer

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen - Won't use iTunes Movie Start Time

    I've went into the info options under a movie in my iTunes library, and changed the start time. But when playing back on my Apple TV from the beginning, it does not start at that time? Is this functionality not transferred to the Apple TV? I have a 3rd gen, and I would like to know a way I can either chop the beginning to this film off without re-encoding, or if there is a way my Apple TV will recognize my start position set up for specific iTunes movies..?

    AFAIK? is that iTunes conversion? I tried earlier to create an Apple TV format video from the video source in iTunes and had a set in point, it did not clip the beginning...
    I do know that if you do this same process with audio it will clip the beginning, I do this for ringtones... If anyone finds a solution besides having to re-export, would be great!
    I love my Apple TV I just wish it all worked more fluidly, has some glitches here and there and these things should go both ways..

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen won't accept music

    So, I just bought an ipod nano 3rd generation off of Craigslist.
    Now, the guy said that the iPod worked. When I got it home, I was looking through the music already on it when it froze. I don't know if this caused my problem, but I just plugged it in from its frozen state into my computer.
    I reset it to factory settings, then started loading music onto it. iTunes showed that it was loading all of this music onto my iPod. But, every time I eject it, the iPod shows that I have none. Does anybody know how to help me? I'm tired of being iPodless. :/

    Hi 1Westerner,
    The full list of troubleshooting steps for the iPod nano can be found through the following link:

  • Apple TV 3d gen won't accept my password

    When I enter my password on the ATV it says it is incorrect.I know I'm using the correct one since it works when I make a purchase on my iPad.  I use the remote app on my iPad to enter the password on the ATV.  I have a 3d gen iPad.

  • Apple TV (3rd Gen) won't activate or set date & time

    I have just purchased an Apple TV however it will not activate or set date and time.
    It was able to update to the latest software but will not log in using my Apple ID.
    I have tried the following:
    1. Reset all settings on ATV.
    2. Reset router (two different internet connections have been tried, both mobile broadband running 3G, the first as a Wifi modem router, the second as a USB modem running through an ASUS RT-AC68U.
    3. Have tried setting port forwarding on port 123 on the router for the ATV.
    4. Have tried connecting the ATV through ethernet from the router.
    None of these have worked so far, are there any other solutions?

    AppleTV is not seeing the internet from the sound of it.
    If you can detect the wifi signal with another device then it must be a connection issue.
    I would look at the encryption used - AppleTV didn't used to like WEP and I would suggest using a WPA2 variant for home usage if possible.
    Which country are you in and which mobie broadband solution?
    The best option is generally ethernet connection to AppleTV:
    I assume the ASUS siupports this?

    One other thing, how does the USB modem connect to the ASUS?  From the specs, I can't see the Asus directly controlling a USB modem from its USB sockets, so presumably connected to a computer?

  • Trying to download apple app, but it won't accept my apple id

    I've reset the password, and can log into apple from my desktop, but the iPad refuses to cooperate, any suggestions will be appreciated on how to rectify this.

    ps: I can log into Apple on the iPad, just not for dwonloading apps. If it matters it's the 16gb wifi model.

    I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • IPad 2 no full screen mirroring on Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi People,
    I reacentley purchased an Apple TV 3rd Gen and I tried the mirror function with my iPad 2 running iOS 6.0.1. When playing games or viewing the home screen, it is centered on my HD TV.
    can you change this?
    Zuga01

    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone and aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks
