Apple TV Error 3906

Hello i've had Apple TV for about a year and had no problems with but i recently got a MacBook Pro and ever since it either wont find my wifi network, loses connection or gives me this Error -3906 code. Can someone please help me this is frustrating beyond no believe.

The problem seems to be solved...
I first reset my router completely, that didn't help. Then I did a factory reset on the Apple TV (although it had never been used before) and it seems to be working just fine now...
Thanks for the help!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Apple TV 3 error -3906

Trying to connect the new Apple TV 3 wirelessly to a router (Fritz!Box 7390) on its 5GHz channel, but we keep getting error 3906 after entering the passkey. With other words, the Apple TV recognizes the router, but isn't able to go past the step of entering the router's wireless passkey.
Router set to DHCP, mac address filtering (tried both on and off), encryption with WPA + WPA2 (not Enterprise), infrastructure mode, authentication: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, data encryption: TKIP, AES-CCMP.
Router was reset, Apple TV was reset, several times the both.
Every Mac in the house connects to the same network without a whim, but the Apple TV 3 persists in an error 3906 message.

Anyway, we've been trying to get the Apple TV 3 to work on a 5GHz channel many times. The ATV3 was placed near the router, to limit the chances of an insufficient signal. The router was reset to factory defaults, to prevent our settings to be the cause. Wireless security was disabled, different channels were selected, but we keep getting this highly informative error 3906 message.
Just to try the ATV3, it was connected to a 2.4GHz channel. Since iTunes is the only means to watch the latest movies, we tried to find some titles we were interested watching. However, we didn't find any of those titles, which are readily available through other channels, or on DVD and BluRay.
The other thing is iCloud, which we definitely don't want to use. The ATV3 doesn't allow playing from our own cloud/server, which is ridiculous.
Again, Apple made a product that is especially beneficial to Apple, but not to us.
Bottom line is, that we'll send the ATV3 back to Amazon and see if there's a better product available.

Error 3906 - Apple TV and TG582N router

Hi there,
I have previously had a Thomson/Technicolor TG582N working fine with my Apple TV up until a couple of days ago.
However, the other day something happened, and I have no idea why.
The Apple TV does not want to connect with the TG582N wirelessly, attempting to do so brings up an error-3906.
the Apple TV sees the wireless network, but does not want to progress further once I enter the password.
I have
- restarted the Apple TV
- reset the Apple TV and forced a system update through a USB connection with my Macbook Air and iTunes
- reset the wireless router
- removed the network password
- changed from WPA-WPA2 to WEP
- changed channels on the wireless router
Can anyone suggest some other possible fixes?

That will be due to your network. Try Ethernet. Go to istumbler.net to get a report, look for signal strength and noise

Itunes dll errors, APPLE SYNC error on bootup, sync error.....solution!

One brilliant guy came up with this solution in this forum and has worked on 5 straight PC's. The thing is, I found another thread that helped also. In addition to this, if you are getting the Apple Sync Error, or still have problems after doing this procedure, go into uninstall programs and remove the MobileMe application. It is appearing to be a major contributor to the errors with Apple Sync! Thank you for your help guys!!!!!!
Okay, we're going to uninstall both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport this time. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh 64-bit iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
Uninstall phase
Head into your "Uninstall a Program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
(From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
(1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
(2) Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
(3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Staying in Program files (x86), find and open the "Common files" folder.
(5) Open the "Apple" folder.
(6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
Reinstall Phase
After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.

Thanks to all on this thread.. same problem, same solution.
This time it was on Win 7, the setup worked fine for awhile, and then SWMBO "did something" and it stopped working. Much debug later, found the log message and realized that there was a streaming problem, but could not figure out if it was the router, my wireless network (I'm using it tied to my existing wireless network) or what. New hardware, fully up to date firmware.. Argh!
I finally found this post, found the offending file ( ..\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.iTunes.plist ) and simply moved it to another folder. Restart iTunes, and all is copacetic.
Clearly this is a software issue in iTunes, and is happening accross HW and SW platforms for better than 2 years now..
I love the device, but the only reason I have it is to drive the stereo. They should fix this one...

Why i cant sign in icloud .. (com.apple.appleaccount error 403.)

please help me..i cant sing in icloud .. (com.apple.appleaccount error 403.)

Are you using a Windows computer.

I need your error {com.apple.appleaccount error 403}

I need your help please as i has the below error {com.apple.appleaccount error 403} so how i can solve it to work in i cloud please i need a reply

Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

You will have to delete the library file in my documents or my music before installing i tunes 10.6.3
Worked for me, itunes 11 has been the worst exprience i have ever had with apple. Made other avenues appealing. Last thing you want to do is come home and troubleshoot.
