Apple TV only showing computers and setting. Settings - Location gives no options.  Help

When I go to Settings -> iTunes Store -> Location there are no options. I can't select US or anything else for that matter.  I just updated to the newest version.  Any suggestions?

Hey griswold4,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The symptoms you mentioned usually relate to network connectivity. The following article may provide a resolution to your issue:

    I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

    Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
    1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
    2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
    3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
    4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
    5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
    6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
    All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

  • Apple TV only shows featured and most viewed YouTube videos??!!

    I just want to make sure that Apple TV only shows Featured and Most Viewed videos, does it not?

    I'm not a huge fan of YouTube but this does seem like a flaw in Apple's marketing.
    They're making a big thing of YouTube functionality on AppleTV.
    This may not appeal to me but will to people who use and have YouTube accounts - these are the ones who'll feel short changed if they buy AppleTV expecting all content to be available now, specifically their stuff.
    It's all being converted over time yes, but that's not obvious to the prospective buyer.

  • It only shows computers and settings

    Why does my Apple TV show sometimes only the computers and settings  on the screen?

    That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Ensure location is set correctly, DNS should be set to automatic. Make sure your router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet.

  • HT1551 I am only showing Computers and Settings.  Can't get back to Movies or any other media.

    Only displays Computers and Settings icons.  No media or other activities available.

    sounds like the appletv does not have a working connection to the network
    if you use wifi go in to the settings and choose your ssid and type in your password

  • Only Showing Computers and Settings?

    Not fun for the last few weeks in trying to use a number of Apple TV's.  Upgrading to 5.2.1 resulted in 2 units
    reduced to "Computers" and "Settings" only.  A unit that had 5.1 (I skipped upgrade) seemed to work fine ....
    so I assumed backend services were OK.  Finally got all units working and upgraded to 5.2.1.
    In wrestling with my Comcast cable modem (Arris TG852G) configuration there seemed to assignment
    of the same ip address to multible devices, one being an Apple TV.  After cleaning up this issue and
    assingning reserved ip addresses to the Apple TV units.  They are working fine and have been stable
    for several days.
    I'll update this discussion in a few weeks if things remain stable or sooner if the problems return.

    Well ..... it has been about 2 weeks and everything has been working fine.  All 3 Apple TV's have
    been used several times with no issue.
    I have also changed my config so that the Comcast modem no longer provides DHCP for any
    device that connects with WIFI.  Config'd modem to only supply ip addr's 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.9
    and config's Apple Time Capsule to supply 10.0.0.10 onward.  I never gained convidence that
    the modem handled DHCP and reservations reliably.  I have confidence in the Apple TC.
    My take away is: when setting Apple TV be sure IP addr space is clean.

  • My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers and Settings as options

    My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers, and Settings as options. Does anyone know where the Television and Movies went. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I want my MLB and Netflix!

    I had the loss of Internet after updating to 5.0.
    Only Computers and Settings are available.
    I tried through Ethernet cable, manual settings of the IP addresses etc. but no  result. still only Computers and settings.
    It communicates with internet for Home sharing etc. Checking the network through ATV is happening. Only problem is "internet " option is not visible.
    I have not changed any settongs in the wifi router during this process. The same ATV was working with all 3 options before update. will the update do any changes to WIFI Router in blocking DNS etc?
    Any advice will be ok.

  • I purchase 1 apple tv from dubai,but after connect apple tv in my tv display showing two icons only-COMPUTERS and SETTING

    WHEN CONNECTING APPLE TV ONLY SHOWING 2 ICONS  THAT IS SETTING AND COMPUTER,HOW CAN I GET THE OTHER ICONS LIKE PHOTOS,MOVIES,YOUTUBE ,HULUPLUS ETC..

    AppleTV needs a working network connection to the Internet since it streams all its content from the Internet.  If you are only seeing those two icons it is not able to connect to the Internet.  Do you have a network cable attached to it?  Or did you enter your WiFi info into it?
    NOTE:  While WiFi is a supported connection option Wired is a MUCH better more reliable way to connect since streaming video is not tolerant of network interruptions.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing all the cables for 60 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. Also try restarting your router.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account.

    Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

    You iPod has been jail broken.  Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
    Good luck...you're gonna need it....

  • My home page only displays computers and settings icons. No other icon. How can I get other icons?

    Looks like a sudden error being thrown up on many ATV2 units.  Yesterday, mine was fine and today I now only have 2 icons like so many other posters.
    No amounts of restarts or restores, disconnecting and reconnecting power, restarting routers, re-logging in to iTunes has any effect at all.
