Apple TV unable to connect to server

I'm in need of HELP!
I few weeks ago I reset my ATV because Netflix wasn't streaming properly. When it reset, the screen to sign into home sharing came up. I am unable to sign into home sharing and get this message "Unable to connect to server at this time, please try again later". Its been doing this for weeks... I've tried using my husband's apple ID and mine several times. I've reset to factory settings... un plugged wifi and tv... my wifi is working perfectly fine with all other apple products.
I am able to stream netflix over airplay, but I am not able to get any farther than the inition screen that has the "Homesharing" or "settings" button.
What can I do??

Hello,
Were you ever able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the exact same issue.

  • TS1424 When trying to purchase and subsequently play programs on Apple TV keep getting message: "Apple TV unable to connect to server at this time. Please try again later." Able to play previews and trailers on Apple TV and able to play programs on Netfli

    Last night I was watching programs on Apple TV with only one problem: I was not able to purchase the entire season of "Homeland" but could purchase and watch individual episodes. Today I am able to watch only previews and trailers from iTunes. After attempting to purchase a program I keep getting the message: "Apple TV is. Unable to connect to the server at this time. Please try again later." I am able to watch programs on Hulu, Netflix, etc. without problems.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

  • Apple TV repeatedly giving message, "Unable to connect to server, please try again."

    I'm having a horrible time with the Apple TV I purchased 3 days ago.  I'm using it wirelessly, the signal is strong, I've already power cycled the modem and router, but it continues to give the message, "Apple TV unable to connect to server..."  It works intermittently.  All the other devices in my home are working properly, so I know it's not the internet itself.  The ONLY thing that works is restarting the device, but even that only works briefly and before long the connection fails.  Does anyone have a genuine solution other than having me restart the device?

    I ended up getting a new VMS box as the rep thought that the HDD was going.  I am still having latency issues with the remotes and the TV displays.  Also there still are times when the signal freezes for a second along with the sound but resumes.  The Techs have replaced my splitter and these problems continue.

  • ICloud email signup: "unable to connect to server"

    Trying to sign up for the iCloud email account on iOS6. Whenever I get to set where I submitting my desired name to be added to the "@icloud.com" part, this popup appears saying this
    "Cannot Create Apple ID
    Unable to connect to server."
    what's going on? are their systems down AGAIN?

    I just went through this. After many support calls, it turns out my email address I was using to sign up had been used a long time ago for perhaps a MobileMe account. The phone didn't say the address was in use but when I went to sign up online for the AppleID at appleid.apple.com it said it was in use already. I did a password reset and then used that email and password to sign into iCloud on the phone and all worked perfectly.
    So, I'd try signing up at appleid.apple.com, and see what happens.

  • Screen says unable to sign in Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try later. It has said this since last night

    Screen says unable to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.  It has said this since last night

    I was running into the same issue for the past few days and decided... Heck, just try the old fashioned way and unplug the thing.  Boom.  Fixed it.  Try unplugging it and doing the old reset and see how that goes.
    Good luck!

  • "unable to connect to server" on my iPhone?

    I'm having trouble getting my iPhone to connect to the iCloud server to receive mail etc.  I've tried several times and I keep getting a message that says "unable to connect to server". Any ideas how I might fix this?  Thx...

    Hello, bills47. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would first start with forcing the Mail App to close then attempt to access your account again.

    If the issue persists, the easiest way to troubleshoot this issue would be to delete the account and add it back to the iOS device.  Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles.  The first article covers basic email troubleshooting.  The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

  • Unable to connect to server. try again

    Hello,
    since Friday, for the big folio (more 100 MO), I have the message : Unable to connect to server. Try again Yet.
    any solution,

    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I accept the icloud terms and conditions if i'm "unable to connect to server"?

    How do I accept the icloud terms and conditions if i'm "unable to connect to server"?
    Or how do I stop the incessant pop messages that tell me I need to do this?

    Hi Mark,
    Try resetting your device and try again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen comes back up, see if the next time the Terms & Conditions popup displays you are able to log on.
    You can also try deleting the iCloud account and then signing back in again: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete. Follow prompts to complete Delete, then sign back in again.
    Cheers,

  • HT4436 When I tap on Terms and conditions of iCloud, it reads'unable to connect o server', and can't access information.

    I can't access to info on iCloud. It requires to accept terms and conditions, but when I tap, it reads'unable to connect to server'. The problem is he e-mail for the iCloud is no longer valid. How can change the iCloud iD only? The Apple iD for the rest of the apps is working fine.

    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

    After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

    The same thing is happening here with my 16 GB wifi only iPad 2, and this is my first update in perhaps a year. The IOS7 update makes it to "Updating iCloud settings..." and goes no further.  After a while the install fails (I guess) and I have to start over.  Always ends the same way, black screen, nothing happening.  Start over, same result.  BTW I DO NOT USE iCLOUD ANYWAY
    Apple please help!
