Apple TV cannot connect to iMovie Theater Channel

My Apple TV (3rd generation) CAN connect to My Music, My Films etc... but CANNOT connect anymore to the iMovie Theater Channel. The Apple TV is up to date and its "region" is correct. It happened when I updated my iMac to Yosemite and to the new iMovie application. But the home made movies on the iMovie Theater were posted before the Yosemite update and I had no trouble connecting to them. Thank you in advance.

Greetings bacave,
If you are having an issue with using iMovie Theater with your Apple TV since updating your computer's operating system to Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Use iMovie Theater with iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Cannot connect to iMovie

I get error message "cannot connect to iMovie theatre please try later". All other features on AppleTV work fine. I have signed out and back in to iCloud, restarted AppleTV But to no avail. Problem keeps happening. Was working fine until 2 weeks ago. I am approach my limit of iCloud storage and was going to purchase more but now I'm not convinced as this problem prevents me viewing home movies on our big screen via AppleTV.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

TS2972 Apple TV cannot connect to my iTunes library

my Apple TV cannot connect to my itunes library

Thanks Rudegear - close but no cigar.
I followed the instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2709
Now: I can see my iTunes library via AppleTV, and access it via the remote control.
Now: I can use the Remote App on my iPad to access my iTunes library, and control the library on my PC but not on AppleTV
Still, when playing a song on iTunes - either directly on the PC or via the iPad, when I select the AppleTV speakers - nothing. When I select 'multiple' speakers I don't get anything through the AppleTV speakers.
The AppleTV is connected to a Denon AVR (if this matters).
Thanks again - open to other pointers.

TS4479 Apple TV2 cannot connect to Netflix .. message on tv screen always say "Netflix currently unavailable."

Apple TV2 cannot connect to Netflix .. message on tv screen always say "Netflix currently unavailable. Please try again later." I have tried both wifi and ethernet connection but to no avail. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

..hi, Diesel.
..after resetting, and for the first time ever, ATV2 is able to access Netflix and that I was able to log in for the first time too! It stayed on processing for the longest time getting in into Netflix. However, the same message "Netflix is currently unavailable. Try again later." had reappeared on tv screen after. Resetted and restarted ATV2 again but the same message had reappeared.

Apple TV Cannot Connect To This Library Problem

Hope someone can help... I had AppleTV and iTunes working just fine for months streaming from my PC to the AppleTV via a wireless connection.
I am able to see the AppleTV icon in iTunes and my AppleTV shows my iTunes library by name just fine... as it always did... even if I restart AppleTV and remove the apple tv connection from itunes, they always seem to be able to "find" each other requiring me to enter that 6 (or 5?) digit passcode.
So, I guess, I am saying that from at least an initial handshake between my AppleTV and my PC running iTunes, I think they talk just fine.
HOWEVER, the problem is every time I try to CLICK on my streaming library, for instance, I go to Movies -> Shared Videos, I get a constant spinning "Loading library" followed by a:
"Apple TV Cannot Connect to This Library" followed by a "Check your network configuration and connection".
So I am confused how the initial handshake can work, that they can see each other, but the loading of the library just dies?
I am running, as of today, the last software updates for both iTunes and AppleTV.
What caused it to break? My assumption is one (or both) of the following:
1.) I upgraded, at the same time, both the Apple TV and iTunes (for PC) at the same time.
2.) I upgraded my wireless router to the D-Link DIR-665.
Am I missing some ports that need to opened on the router?

I have the same issue, and it sounds like others may have similar. What's weird is I watched a streamed video on the 22nd with no issues with 10.5.5, iTunes 8.0.1, and AppleTV 2.1. I went to watch something on Monday night and had the same issue you did. I checked my Software Update.log and these were the only updates (changes) to my MBP since I had it working on the 22nd:
2008-10-27 17:32:45 -0400: Installed "Migration and DVD ⁄ CD Sharing Update" (1.1)
2008-10-27 17:32:51 -0400: Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004" (1.0)
2008-10-27 17:33:58 -0400: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.5)
I did installed Boxee on Friday, but in troubleshooting this week I factory defaulted my AppleTV to 1.0, then did an upgrade to 2.2 and have the same issue.
I troubleshoot technology for a living, and this makes no sense to me--you can always find something that changed to cause and issue, and I can't find anything.
One more note, I did a sniffer (Wireshark) capture, and it reported malformed packets from the AppleTV to my MBP...now I accidentally deleted the capture and didn't dig further. Wireshark sometimes misrepresents normal things as issues. I will try and re-do the capture and see if I can did deeper.
Apple please fix this!

Apple store cannot connect

I keep getting an error that apple store cannot connect.

Hey Cbnapora,
I'd run through the troubleshooting steps in the following document, specifically the section titled "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" for your iPad:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
I know it says iTunes store, but the troubleshooting steps should still apply to the App store.
All the best,

Apple ipad 'Cannot connect to the server'

When using Mail, iPad says ' Cannot connect to server'
it's an icloud mail account.
The original ipad has internet connectivity.
I've set up the same account on a different ipad and no probelms.
I've tried deleting the acocunt and reinstalling but still the problem persists
Any ideas?

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

Apple TV cannot connect to my iTunes Library

Generation 2 Apple TV. On the same wireless network as my PC (Windows Vista Home Premium). On the same wireless network as my iPad. Remote App is operational on the iPad. All operating software is up to date. Home sharing is 'on' on all devices, all devices are on the same iTunes account. iTunes recognises it is paired with the Remote App.
Home sharing has been switched off and on. All devices have been switched off and on. The router has been switched off and on.
Neither the iPad (through Remote) nor Apple TV can connect to my iTunes Library. The only error message is: "Check your network settings and try again".
iTunes recognises that AppleTV exists, because it is listed under the AirPlay icon - however I cannot get audio through the AppleTV speakers - and a song simply stops playing when I change speakers. When this happens, the error message is:
"An error occured while connecting to the AirPlay device 'Apple TV'. The network connection timed out."
A solution is welcome.

Apple TV cannot connect to the Internet

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I haven't used apple TV for a week or so, and when I have just turned it on again, I found although it finds my wireless network, it cannot connect to the internet as it was doing since I got it over a year ago. No settings have changed, and my MacBook, iMac, iPhone, Wii and PS3 all still connect fine. I tried a system restore, but now apple TV won't start up as it still can't connect to the internet. I have also tried rebooting my router. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks for your help,
Pete

I have one Apple notebook conenected via WIFI
I have one Nintendo Wii connected via WIFI
And, I have one Apple TV which will not connect while other devices are connected. If I disconnect the notebook and iMAC the Apple TV works fine.

Apple Express cannot connect to the internet

Up until yesterday, my internet connection was a DSL modem connected to an Airport Extreme module. It worked fine.
Yesterday I switched from DSL to CABLE. If I plug the cable coming from the new modem into my laptop (PowerBook G4 1Ghz) I get a connection to the internet. When I plug the CABLE into my Aiport EXPRESS (APE) module and plug it in, it just blinks yellow. My laptop does receive a signal from the APE, but does not receive the internet.
After reading the discussion groups, I have tried unplugging APE pushing in the reset button and holding it it when I replug it. I allow it to blink 5 times before letting go. This results in a solid yellow light, followed by a brief solid green light, followed by the blinking yellow light.
I have updated the APE software and I have gone through the steps of using the APE Steup Assistant. Still APE cannot establish a connection to the internet. When I go to Internet Connect and click on the Summary button it says “connected to apple network” “connected to internet via ethernet”. Yet, the yellow light continues to blink.
The cable modem is also the modem for the telephone lines (Comcast). I unplugged the modem but it must have a battery back-up built in because it stays on.
What is the problem here? Any suggestions?

HT1595 apple TV cannot connect to internet

apple TV won't connect to internet

I've had this problem for ages, which seems to have started with problematic download speeds and then resulted eventually with the inability of the ATV (2) to connect to the internet. Like you, we were able to connect to the wi-fi network in our home, and able to connect to the computer, but our ATV was not able to connect directly to internet services or internet products available through its connection with iTunes (eg: movie rentals on the computer). Every other wi-fi device in the house was connecting successfully, the ATV did not.
Prior to that time we'd been operating the device successfully for about 15 months.
Most web advice seems to suggest problems with static IP addresses, or blocked 80 and 443 ports. We've talked with Apple support, ISP support and Netgear support.
In the end, by adding together clues given by Apple and Netgear, we worked out that the recently updated software for ATV is no longer compatible with the software of our modem router.
By updating the modem router's firmware (which was a process in itself!) our ATV is back to full functionality.
You can update your modem or modem/router by going to the home page of its manufacturer (eg: Netgear). Model numbers and Serial Numbers are normally recorded on the bottom of the device, as is the address used to access the modem router manager, in which you can update your device.
Hope this is useful to others.
