error message. How do I correct it

It is not properly connected to the network
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Make le sure rputer has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

    Make sure location is set correctly and DNS is set to ISP's. Try rebooting device and router.

  • TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

    this is an apple generated message. simple!
    what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
    how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
    help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

    this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
    this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
    i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
    remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
    i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
    should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
    at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
    thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

  • HT1551 why wont my apple TV set the network time?

    its been "thinking" for ever now. it gives me an option to go to general/network but from there there is no way to et up the network time. i cannot do anything and it wont recognize my correct username or assword until the network time is set.
    please help me get out of this loop!

    Chances are it's not seing the internet at all - normally menu key should get you out of this in order to configure wifi settings.
    Ethernet should not require any setup, but an ethernet connection used to disable wifi (even a lead connected to AppleTV and not to a network point), though that may have changed.

  • Message reads Apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set; please try again later...help!

    in setting up new apple tv, message says "apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set - please try again later.........is this an easy fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router.
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • Apple TV3 setup reports that: "iTunes login failed - cannot sign-in until Network date and time has been set".

    During Apple TV setup, I have not been able to complete the Home Sharing process. Computer/iTunes Home Sharing is setup, but ATV "blocks" its Home Sharing setup. After my Apple ID and password is entered, ATV reports a failure. Also, attempts to login to iTunes from ATV, ATV reports: "iTunes login failed - cannot sign-in until Network date and time has been set". It directs me to the Network tab, but there's no option to set date and time. I have no clue how to do that.
    Help!!! Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to solve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are things to look out for to make sure your Apple TV can reach the network time server, such as ensuring port 123 is open and only using the DNS address provided by your ISP, but since it was OK one moment and not the next, my guess is these settings are already correct.
    As for the restart, did you try restarting by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

  • The AirPlay device "Apple TV" cannot be found on your network.

    "The AirPlay device “Apple TV” cannot be found on your network. Please verify your network settings and AirPlay configuration or select another device."
    I have been struggling to play radio from my iTunes to my Apple TV for more than 1-2 minutes at a time over the last two hours. I've updated both the Apple TV and iTunes to the latest software. I've also 'restarted' Apple TV from the General menu. I've unplugged and replugged the Apple TV several times, and I've also rebooted my MBP several times. Sometimes, after resetting Apple TV, I'm able to play radio from my iTunes, but then it stops working a few minutes later. I'm able to play the radio on my iTunes, but when I try to connect to Apple TV, I get the above error message again, even though the signal strength of the wifi is at full strength, according to Apple TV Settings.
    I have a MBP 10.6.8 and a 3rd generation Apple TV. I am feeling very frustrated. What should I do? I feel like I've done everything?

    By the way, I've reboot the Apple TV, had music play for 1 minute, and then Apple TV stop working on me at least one dozen times today.
    I've also had to Force Quit iTunes (which appears unresponsive) after Apple TV stops playing the music being sent from iTunes.
    I get the above error message whenever I don't reboot Apple TV...but then when I do reboot it, it stops working 2 minutes later....
    F%&$* THIS!! This is making me never want to invest in Apple products again.

  • HT1311 I have been using my apple TV successfully for 1 year.  Today there was a message telling me I cannot sign in because the terms and conditions have changed.  Please go to apple support for more info.  However, I cannot find any info.  What do I do

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

    Hi F1N5G10, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you don't have the AirPlay option on your iOS devices. Restarting your Apple TV and iOS devices was a good first step, and you can find some additional tips to guide your troubleshooting at this link:

  • HT1595 What do you do if the Apple TV cannot set the network time automatically?

    What do you do to set the network time so Apple TV can set up the Apple account?

    Hold down the shift key at reboot, see if that gets you in, if it does then start at #7

  • I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, join greys out.  It has a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.

    I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, "join" turns grey.  There's a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.  Can you help me??

    The way you "unlock" it is by typing in the correct password. The lock indicates a private network that requires a password. Are you sure you have the correct password? Is this your own home network?
    Why don't you reboot your iPad and try to log in again. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will shut off. Turn back on by pressing the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if the iPad will accept your password.
    If that doesn't work, you could try tapping the blue arrow next to the network name and then tap Forget This Network. Restart your iPad as described above. Then go back to settings, tap WiFi, select the network and enter the password again and see if it works.

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • I am trying to change my email address for an Apple ID and it is saying that it is already in use. I then sign in with that Apple ID and it says that the account is not set up yet, I don't want to set up the account, but I do want to use the email address

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.
