Apple TV "Could no connect to" error?

I keep getting this message ever since we moved and had to create a new network. I know it's on the same network, I can see my computer name on the list of computers, but when I click on it, it says it can't connect. I've restarted my computer, turned off the sharing and back on, I've even done a full, back to factory, restore of the apple TV but I still get this message. It started to work for all of 5 seconds, and then all the sudden it was gone again and the message was back. What else can I do? My Macbook, Itunes and Apple TV are all up to date. What else can I do?

turn off the router for 30sec
if you keep having problems update the firmware of the router

Apple tv could not connect to library

It reconizes my computer and my housband from home sharing, his a PC it loads the library, but mine from 3 days now, shows always the same message "apple tv could not connect Ana Carolinaa's library". I did every thing the troubleshoting sugested me, but nothing works. It worked perfectly from 3 weeks and now just don't work!!! Can some one help me please?

I have exactly the same problem. I even remove and install itunes again but it still same. I have the apple tv icon in itunes and can send video or music which is playing in itunes to Apple TV but when I choose from Apple TV to connect to the computer it says: "Apple TV could not to Library" ??
Any idea?

After 2.0 Update "iTunes could not connect iPod error (0xE8000001)?

I've downloaded the 2.0 update for my iTouch... after the installer had finished its work it alerted me that the iTouch was rebooting and would appear in iTunes. However, I got this error message instead:
"iTunes could not connect iPod unknown error occured (0xE8000001)". I'm not sure if I should disconnect the USB or not.. or what is going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Sweet! The power of the collective on the web...
Jeff - try this, worked great -
unfortunately i lost all my info on my touch when doing this, but I can dedicate some time tonight to resetting my wallpaper, my mail settings, etc.
i think the 'DFU' in these instructions means device firmware upgrade...found this on another forum where people complaining of same problem...
1. Hold both the home and power buttons until the device turns off
2. EXACTLY one second after the iPod turns off, release the sleep/wake button, holding the home button still ( the apple logo SHOULD NOT BE ON ).
3. In about 20 seconds, you will see your iPod appear in iTunes, but the screen on your iPod will still be off. You are now in DFU mode.
4. RELEASE the home button as soon as your iPod appears iTunes. If you fail to do so, your iPod will simply go back into recovery mode.
yo Apple - please roll out some info on this 'known issue'; While $9.95 isn't a budget-breaker, if you have to figure out how to make that $9.95 work on your Apple device like it appears some of us are, it speaks to posting something in Support about it - thanks!

Apple TV Could not connect to the server

My ATV2 is telling me it cannot connect to the server!
What server? It seems to connect fine to my computer's iTunes and it also plays previews of movies and tv shows from the rental store fine. So why cant it actually start downloading a rental?
It's pretty sad that there's no help or further details on the ATV2. It just says try again.
I hope Apple doesn't start screwing up the iTunes server for ATV2 the way they are always screwing up access to their MobileMe servers.

I'm having the same issue with my ATV2. Just downloaded the newest update and updated the settings since it does a complete reset. Every time I try and connect to iTunes, I get "Unable to Sign In" Apple TV can't connect at this time. Please try later". I've unsuccessfully made multiple attempts to "try later", but no luck.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Apple TV "Could not connect to [my apple ID's]Library

Hi
Since Yosemite I can no longer connect to my apple ID's library for pictures for the Apple TV screen saver (iTunes on, home sharing on, Apple TV and iTunes updated to the latest version, same network, etc.). Solutions?
Thanks!

Apple TV2 is now running perfectly. First I assigned a static IP address to ATV2. But still it disconnected after 1 hour. This brought me the idea to set the renewal time for the WPA key in my router settings to 0 (before it was 3600 seconds). That was it.

Itunes could not connect. unknown error -54

The itunes store is not working for me. Also, the App store has the same problem and

TS3276 Mail Connection Doctor says: "Could not connect to Apple Server's STMP. As Verizon is my ISP is this the right STMP? If yes, how do I connect to Apple Server

When using Mail Connection Doctor two error messages come up with regards to sending and receiving mail from my @mac.com account.
The first one says that my @mac.com account: "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server." How do I fix this? Is this caused by the way I have set my preferences? Is this related to joing iCloud? Or my ISP Verizon the problem?
The second one says in reference to my Apple Server: "Could not connect to this STMP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account perferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL checkbox in the Advanced tabe of Account preferences." This box was not checked. Two days ago these problems did not exist. Again, how do I figure out who to discusses these problems with?
Feedback is most welcome.

ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store "Error Message"

I recently added iTunes 7.6 to my Windows XP operating system at the same time when I added an *Ion USB Turntable (TTUSB).* I currently have the 80G iPod with the larger video screen. I added in the supplied software of the EZ Vinyl Converter. The software reads from Gracenote and imports into iTunes okay. But now my PC cannot access the iTunes store to buy songs, read the tracks on the discs, or display new album artwork. The diagnostic read the network connectivety test, the CD/DVD drive, and iPod connectivity tests all read okay. I followed the directions on checking the network settings under the Internet Options Tool "Connections" Lan Settings and the Automatic detection and still no dice. All I get is "Make sure your network is active."

I'm seeing this error on some, but not all, of my Windows XP machines. On my personal development XP box, I see this error if iTunes is closed when I try and access iTunes U via my transfer script or Stanford's.
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.

ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE80007F)

Recieved this error while syncing the IPod classic, however, the IPhone was not connected to the computer, was no where near the computer.
In addition, I had earlier in the day the following error message as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone "Merci's IPone" because an invalid response was received from the device." In this situation, again the IPod classic was syncying music, and the phone was not even in the house.
The day previously, I had the following error as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone because of unknown error occurred (0XE80002D).
When I called Apple Support, the first person could not find a response or answer to fix or give a reason why this is happening, since he said the last error is normally resulting from when the cable has a connection problem; well the IPhone was never connected to the computer--the IPod Classic was during these incidents. When a senior advisor came on line, he wanted me to reboot my computer, but I was still in the middle of the IPod Sync of music so that could not happen. Which his answer was, well then call back and talk with a apple support person when it completes--my thought was if the first person couldn't figure it out and required a senior advisor, what is going to happen when I call back--I repeat myself and wait and repeat myself again to another senior advisor and then do some archaic steps to discover they don't know what is wrong? I am waiting on a few other problems they haven't figured out yet. I am a new Apple user and have had nothing but problems with Apple IPhone, IPad and guess IPod Classic all which I purchased with high recommendations that Apple is better than windows products and Android products. I am wondering what the **** I got myself into?
Can anyone help me? It is getting frustrating that Apple can not seem to help with any of the situations I seem to be having!
Thanks in advance.

I have had this same issue with my iPhone 4 since iOS 5 was released. None of the updates has fixed it yet. I'm using Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and iTunes 10.5.3 I am not encrypting my backups. I do have my phone set to passcode lock after 1 hour. When I have enabled WiFi sync in iTunes, I get the error message described in this thread at least once every day. In the morning, when I first open iTunes, I will have to click this window sometimes 8 to 10 times to get it to finally dismiss and begin the sync process.
It's apparent that iTunes is hung up whenever this message is present. It's not downloading podcasts during the night, or performing the WiFi sync while my phone is charging in the other room. Nothing works until I sit in front of iTunes and click off the error message. If I am required to do that in order to get the phone to update, I should just plug it in and disable the WiFi sync hassles until/if it ever gets fixed.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
