Apple TV & Inability to connect to the Internet

My ATV connected to my macs using Time Capsule which is wire connected to BT ADSL using Netgear modem. After working well for few months suddenly dropped its internet connection. When I try to reconnect, ATV gives the error message " Internet connection fault - your ATV is connected to 'your' network but cannot connect it to the internet"
I have reset the ATV many times as well as restored to factory status but problem is persistent. I have reset my Time Capsule too without relief. This problem started when I attempted to synchronize my iTunes library after purchasing the movie Atonement. Internet connection to my iPod Touch & iMac is working well.Help is greatly appreciated as I am about to cry!
Don

No all my software is updated automatically using Apple Software update. As this problem persists I got a another Timecapsule and the problem exists. If you find a solution please let me know.
Thanks a million for your support.

My Apple TV Won't Connect to the Internet!

My Apple TV won't connect to the internet. Everything else in my house does! I've unplugged everything twice and restarted everything twice and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Make sure router is up to date
If on wifi try ethernet
Make sure DNS is set to auto (setting - general - network)

HT1595 My apple tv won't connect to the internet.

My apple tv will connect to my network, but not to my 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.

Apple TV Isn't Connected To The Internet In iTunes

I rented a movie and after it download I couldn't transfer it to the Apple T.V. it kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet but I am connected. For obvious reasons I am pretty confused. Could it be that even though on my MacBook the iTunes applications is on my notebook and the library file is in my Time Capsule? Do they both have to be on the laptop to sync a rented movie on the AT? I am curious because the AT won't even recognize the rented movie icon in the library pain when I try to stream it. The same is true if I try to sync it also. Am I crazy?

Yes, but first you need to deauthorize and then authorize again... enjoy

My apple tv is not connecting to the internet via ethernet

Got home tonight, have not been having problems before this, turned on my tv and started the aptv the same as always
and got the regular splash screen with the usual icons, netflix, Hulu etc.
Went to Hulu and it went to the usual menu screen, but from there it would not connect.
Tried to restart, at the end of the restart cycle the screen said it was trying ot set time and date.
Seems like it can not do this and does not connect to the internet.
I have it on a ethernet cable to a modem that works fine for my iPhone and my laptop via wifi, and
have not had any other problems, so not being able to watch tv is pretty frustrating.
Has Apple done something in preping for next weeks iOS7 launch and suspected aptv upgrades????
What is going on????

I would test something else connected by ethernet like the laptop to make sure it was not a router thing
then I would connect the appletv by usb to the laptop and use itunes to restore the firmware if that was the issue
then I would try bringing it to a friend or relatives place and test it there
if all else failed it would resturn it under warrenty

HT204400 Apple TV won't connect to the internet

I'Ve recently installed a new wireless router. all my devices are connecting to the Internet just fine, except my Apple TV which will connect to the network, but not the internet. It will connect, however, via ethernet. Any advice?

If it's working fine via ethernet then there is likely an issue with the wifi network. Other devices may be working, but that won't rule this out.
If you want to see an accurate picture of your network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report, look for signal strength and noise.
Make sure DNS is set to auto on ATV (settings - general - network)
If there are other wifi devices around, if ATV is in a closed space or on top of something..this will impact performance.
Try changing channels on router (refer to manual if unsure)

HT1600 my apple Tv is not connected to the internet. Apple airport is on, homesharing is on ????

How do I connect apple tv to the internet? It was connected.Apple airport is on, homesharing is on.

Home sharing has nothing to do with the network connection. What exactly is happening? Is there an error? Have you tried a reboot on router and ATV? Is the Airport up to date? Have you tried ethernet?

Can I use Apple Remote desktop to connect over the internet?

I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect back to my MacPro desktop at home while I am on my Macbook Air at work. Will I need a static IP from my service provider to do it.

Hi
It's not absolutely necessary but it would be more useful if you did have one. Most ISPs will require you to have a business class broadband service at your home rather than a residential one. These cost more (a lot more in some cases) than a residential service. Call your home location's ISP and discuss it with them.
If the cost is too much then you could go for a DynDNS account which is free. The details of this account would be configured in the whatever you're using as a firewall at your home's location. This assumes the firewall has the facility to add such an account. Thereafter it's just a question of configuring the port fowarding feature of that firewall.
A potentially 'big' problem though is whether or not your workplace will allow that kind of traffic out of their network. This would be something you'd need to discuss with them first.
HTH?

Apple TV no longer connects to the internet

New AppleTV no longer connects to wireless network after lightning storm knocked out power.
Turned off security on TimeCapsule and reset AppleTV, but still self-assigns an IP (169.254.xxx.xxx) and appears to detect an ethernet connection even though no cable is connected.
Multiple iPhones, iPads and computers connect to my Time Capsule's WiFi networks (guest as well), but no go w/ the AppleTV.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

Apple Mails connection to the Internet

Sometimes I get an email with a link in it to connect to the internet. I am using Apple Mail. It connects to Internet Explorer 5 which we all know doesn't work too good anymore.
How/where do I change the Apple Mail preference to connect to the internet with a different browser?
Thanks,
Diane

The default browser is a system-wide setting, not specific to Mail. It can be changed in Safari > Preferences > General > Default Web Browser.

Problem while connecting to the internet

Yesterday, in the afternoon the Airport Extreme which is inbuilt into the Apple iMac suddenly stopped connecting to the internet only in Mac OS. I have an other computer which runs Windows and it was completely fine. Even Windows on this Apple iMac is connecting to the internet. When trying to connect to the internet in Mac OS it is giving a warning message that "Alert - No internet connection". I suppose there is a problem withe the Airport Extreme in Mac OS. So please help me out.

The router name is NETGEAR WGR614

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.
