Apple TV says it could not sign. Apple ID or password incorrect

How can I sign in to Apple TV when it says my password or Apple ID is incorrect?  Just changed my password but don't know how to
Let the Apple TV know my new on.

I am experiencing the same issue. The ATV2 recognizes my wireless network, I can even stream music from my Itouch into the Tv, but when trying to link the ATV2 with my PC computer, the ATV2 asks for the Apple ID and password. I input the correct infromation, but the system keeps telling me that the ID can not be recognize. I've tried like 50 times, with no results so far.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • Trying to sign using Apple ID and get could not sign in server error

    I just got a new iPod touch and am trying to sign into the app store.  I have created an Apple ID and got a confirmation that it it works but when I try to sign on I get the following message:
    Could not Sign In 
    Server Error
    What would be causing this?
    Steve

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you sign in on your computer?
    - Could be a temporary Apple problem.

  • HT1766 since os7 update for ipad, I can't sign into Facetime. I enter username & password & the message I get back is "FaceTime Activation could not sign in. Pls check your network connect". There is nothing wrong with my wifi connect. What's up with this

    Any takers on this question ? FaceTime is one of the apps I used all the time prior to Os7 update, now i can't get in because when I try to sign in, the message I receive says Activation could not sign in and I should check my network connection. My network connection works fine, I can use the internet or twitter or all the other apps which require a working network, but not FaceTime.......What's up with that ??

    there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and  make sure its working.

  • I message won't activate on I phone. "Could not sign in.Please check your network connection and try again

    I have used iMessage on both my iPad and iPhone for successfully, using the same Apple ID. However since I upgraded to IOS 7.0 .4 on my iPhone recently, it has turned off iMessage. When I try to turn it back on again and login with my Apple ID, The message "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again" appears. I have tried again numerous times. I have tried switching off iMessage on my iPad as well then try and switch on them both back on my iPad works but my iPhone does not. Can anyone help

    -Deactivate iMessage on your iPhone
    - Reset phone by holding both Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds until Apple logo appears.
    - If you have wifi where you are, temporarily disable it.
    - Activate iMessage.
    Tell us what happens next.

  • Apple ID correct but ios 7 says could not sign.  Help please.

    I'm on WIFI and I've tried on 3G, Apple ID is correct - I used it to sign in here!
    Any suggestions?

    Backup phone in iTunes . On your phone, Go to Settings, General, reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Restore as new on iTunes . Then restore your phone from the backup in iTunes.
    This worked for me.

    Has worked forever. Used it the other day. 
    Tried tonight and received the above message.
    Unplugged it, waited about 20 seconds, then
    Restarted it. Same results. Comes with an "ok"
    Button.  When I click it I get the same message. 

    Unplugged and replugged Apple TV and router still nothing.
    Spoke with Apple  and they suggested resetting and the restoring
    If necessary. Neither were.  Apple TV decided to start working
    Properly on its own.  2&1/2 years and still kicking.  This was the only
    Blip.  I love Apple. Cool or uncool. These products have rarely failede

  • Apple TV Could Not Sign In

    Hi, I have had my apple TV for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever.
    I use it to watch UK TV whilst in Spain.
    Last week for some reason Apple wouldn't accept my password and made me reset it which in itself has created a load of problems but all devices are now on the new password except the Apple TV. I turned it on this morning and can only get to Could Not Sign In with a box underneath saying OK.  Yet when I try to move forward with the remote nothing happens.
    I have done a reset umpteen times with the menu and down button but get as far as a fuzzy liney screen or back to the Could Not Sign In page.  I cannot move forward to change my password.
    I do not have a micro HDMI cable and my iMac only has this. But I have only ever used Apple TV wirelessly predominantly via my iPad or iPhones.
    My internet and modem are in a different room quite some distance from the Apple TV but have an excellent unlimited internet connection.
    Can anyone please help me?  Am very sick and spend most of my time in bed so really want it sorted out.
    Thanks

    the Apple TV does not have a microHDmi connector it has a normal connector hdmi connector and a microUSB connector used to restore the os of the Apple TV if it crash in such a case the user connect the microUSB cable to the appletv and Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV - Apple Support
    microUSB is the std connector for all other smart phones so most supermarkets carry them

    I am connected to my home wifi network. Why can't I sign in??

    Not sure, but iAd Producer probably has nothing to do with this.
