Apple TV is not connecting to Netflix and is acting buggy.

After the recent Vimeo update. I can access iTunes Movies, TV Shows, etc. but I can't sign into iTunes, I get a message saying "Can't sign into iTunes because Apple TV can't get the network time." Further AppleTV keeps flashing back and forth from being connected to Wifi and not connected, it's not our network, 5-10 other devices are working rock solid.
Any ideas if there is a known bug with the latest update?

Yes I've rebooted the device several times. I'm not able to try Ethernet where it's located, but I would be surprised if it were interferrence because it has been working flawlessly in the same location for weeks. Plus I can access other content in the device without issue, previews of movies, TV shows, etc. but I can't purchase them because it won't accept my Apple ID... throws an error message about the Time. Can't access Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix, etc.
I'm a software developer and this feels like a buggy roll out of an update...

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

It started working.....!!!!! (It seems someone back there is listening)
I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
TIPS:
I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
good luck!!

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

My apple tv is not connecting!

Help!
My apple tv is not connecting and it simply says "was an error connecting to the wi-fi"
Thanks.

As others have posted regarding their ATV's, I took my ATV3 to the Apple store and they replaced it, no questions asked. I had been using the old unit with no problems for about two months. So far I have been using the new unit for five days with no problems, but I will keep an eye out, as it sounds like it could happen again. (If it does, I will reconnect to Ethernet to get it back into a good state, check the software version, swap out HDMI cables...)
On September 4 I noticed my ATV3 could not see any wireless networks. After some unsuccessful troubleshooting I took it to the Apple store on September 6. They quickly reproduced the problem in the store and replaced the black box, no questions asked. It has been working fine for five days.
I am not sure what broke on my first unit, hardware or software. And I am not sure if the new unit is running the same software as the old one.
Now, occasionally (once a day) the new unit will drop off the wifi, then quickly (less than a minute) reconnect. I am not sure if this is a problem with the ATV or my wifi network, I never noticed if the old unit did that.

Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

TS2972 Apple TV is not connected to the network?

After installing the latest Apple TV firmware update 5.1.1 (5433), my Apple TV will not stream music from my iTunes over the wifi network. After 15 - 120 seconds of music, the streaming stops and I get the "Apple TV is not connected to the network" message. My iPhoto is still streaming pictures and I can go to Radio and stream content.
In the "About" screen. I have 4 out of 5 bars of signal, but the IP Address number and wi-fi network name drop out randomly. I have reset and restored several times to no avail. I have reset my router several times and powered down/restarted several times. The Genius Bar folks have no answers except purchase a new one.
The system has worked perfectly until the December update.
Any answers?

This will be due to a network issue, which can come at any time
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try Ethernet
To see a status of the network go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.
