Apple TV not connecting to iTunes

Since the most recent update, my Apple TV (Model A 1378) no longer connects to iTunes. When I click on any link that would normally go to a page within the iTunes store, instead the action is never completed and I am taken back to the home menu for the Apple TV. Everything else works fine. I can use airplay, netflix, Hulu, etc.
I have tried both Reset and Restore with no success. In fact during the most recent Restore, the time bar came up and went normally from 15 to 13 minutes remaining. However, at 13 minutes remaining the screen went black and immediately went back to the Apple TV home menu and none of the settings appeared to have been reset.
Can anyone help me get this thing working?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
    3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Apple blinking, not connecting to itunes

When trying to update my phone to the latest ios my phone displayed the apple logo. The apple logo was blinking every five seconds or so. When i connected to the computer to try and restore my software itunes did not see that i had a device connected to my computer. I then put my phone into DFU mode and it still did nothing to help itunes see that there is a device connected to the computer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your Apple TV fails to restore through iTunes……..
Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
If not already, try using a powered USB port.
Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
Repeat the process with another cable.
Try restoring the Apple TV on another computer in another location.

After trying to down ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. The only display I will get is the apple logo, or low battery warning.

After trying to download ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. Sometimes, screen will switch from Apple logo to low battery notification, but doesn't look as if battery is charging.

Connect with cable to computer. Your ipad is in recovery mode.

Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit. ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac. I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER. They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM? My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious. I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated. I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE. Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Apple TV3 not working - Can not connect to iTunes, Very, very slow streaming. Help please?

For just over a week I have been unable to stream film/TV shows from Netflix via my Apple TV. When I have been able to, the streaming is painfully slow... for example, to watch a half hour program I have had to pause it at the beginning and leave it for 30-40mins before I can watch it and even then i'm not guaranteed to be able to watch it all! On top of the streaming issues, I tried to purchase a film from iTunes via the Apple TV - this took 3days to download!! Then finally, last night, it all seemed to stop working - will not connect to iTunes account at all (can not connect to server). I have checked again this morning and the error message says the same thing. My internet connection is fine (perfect on both mac, dell laptop and iPhone. I have tried the obvious troubleshooting methods - nothing has helped.
Can anyone please tell me whether this is an internal Apple issue and if we know how and when this will be resolved? Or has anyone else had the same problems and been able to resolve them?
I'm pulling my hair out...

This would be an issue with your network. Netflix will constantly adapt to your connection. iTunes content is fixed, will cache as you watch, and will need to load a portion before playback begins. As you have not provided information on what you have tried, I will list common things to check.
What is your current connection, via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Make sure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
