Apple tv cannot connect to wifi it only gives me ethernet connection. and even ethernet is not working
I have try many times to connect with my wifi apple tv but it does not find it to put codes it only gives me ethernet and even that does not connect. It was working perfectly but not now
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!

My iphone 4s will not connect to networks. the button is greyed out and cannot turn on. I have reset the network settings and it still does not work - any ideas?
Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.

My Apple ID has been disabled. I have set a new password, but it still is saying disabled. About six months ago my itunes was hacked. Itunes replaced the money, but now I am cannot get in. Is there anyone who might be able to help me out? Thanks
What did itunes support tell you?
If you did everything it says then you contacted them.

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. -
My wifi button on my 4s is dim and I cannot connect to wifi. I have reset network connections and connected to PC iTunes and downloaded ios7.4. I restarted the phone and it still is not working. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with my 4s too. Wifi is greyed out and won't switch on, plus Bluetooth doesn't work either. From what I can gather it's caused by either a broken or overheating WiFi chip. I'm planning to take mine to an Apple store to see if it can be repaired.

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.

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. -

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?
Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

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,

I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?
Hi troy157,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Hi, I have upgraded my iphone 4s to ios7 and now when I am trying to login to app store, it says "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store". When I try clicking on the "Terms and Conditions" in iCloud, it first says "Cannot Connect" and then the following message: "Verification Failed: the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to server that is pretending to be setup.icloud.com, which could put your confidential information at risk". My wifi is working properly as I have accessed websites from safari. I reset my network settings too and even reset my password. But none of these get my iphone working.
I'm having the same problem with the iTunes Store...it much be down :(
