    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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

  • Apple Tv can't connect to server at this time

    what can I try if apple TV won't connect to the server?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • 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????

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

    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.

  • How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

  • TS3623 If the screen says Unable to Sign in-Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.  I've been getting this reading for about a week

    Hi Kailik Hunter,

    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.

  • "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.
