Apple TV will recognize my YouTube login credentials

I've had Apple TV for several months and it was working great until recently. Suddenly it no longer recognizes my YouTube credentials. When I try to login I get a message stating: "This account cannot be used with Apple TV. Try using a different account." I even tried creating a new Google account and I get the same message. I also tried that "application specific password" and creating my own YouTube channel work arounds that I read in some other threads but neither of those solutions solved the problem. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Any suggestions?

Could you send reminders to another Apple device and then that Apple device will recognize it as a reminder in that Apple device?

You have to "share" the reminders. Read here:

Why are my YouTube login credentials not accepted by Captivate?

I am trying to publish my Captivate project as a video on YouTube.
A popup screen appears asking for my YouTube username and password, but when entered I am told that "Login failed. Specify the correct username and password, and try again."
The same login works fine when used directly on YouTube.
Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

Hi,
It seems that the group policy setup in your organization has set this option disabled for all users. You may want to check with your IT team for this.
You may also try right-click on Captivate > Properties > Compatibility > and then check the option "Run this program as an Administrator".

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

I changed my Apple ID but when I try to download an app it still asks for my old Id passwor. How do I reset the ID to my new one one my iPad so it will recognize it?How

How do I reset my IPad 2 so it will recognize my new Apple ID? It won't let me download apps because it's still associated with my old email and ID.

Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of the account, and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it (you updated your existing account with a new email address, you didn't create a new account ?).

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google, an error message comes up saying safari cannot connect to the server. Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi Joshua ..
Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that wasn't the issue, try using OpenDNS.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, prevents the, "can't connect to server" issue, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser re directs, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

My ipod touch will recognize my home wireless network but when I try to select it the wheel just keeps spinning. It looks as though I have a good signal but my router is an older apple extreme. I've updated to the lasted firmware but it's still not working. I have two older imacs and a wii that connect to the router. Any thoughts? Thanks

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Power off and then back on the router

Hi letjimdoit,
If you are unable to get to the screen that allows you to enter your password on your Apple TV, you may want to first try restarting the Apple TV. Use the steps in this aricle -
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
If the same issue continues after restart, you may want to restore the Apple TV. See this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My apple TV will not let me use my gmail account to log in to Youtube. Is it because it is the same email account I use in my Apple ID?

I'm having the same problem.
Error message reads: This account cannot be used with Apple TV. Please sign in with different account.
I'm using my gmail account to access Youtube as i do on my Mac. I have a completely different Apple ID account.

You should continue to use your Apple ID for your iTunes account whatever you do in terms of iCloud syncing and mobile me.
If you would like to use the Apple ID you use for iTunes for iCloud syncing. just create an iCloud account using that Apple ID. If you do this you will need to add an iCloud mail address which can't be your mobile me address as that is already taken.
If you want to create another Apple ID for use with iCloud so that you keep your @me address from your mobile me account you can do that by migrating from mobile me to iCloud, you can do that too, your Apple ID for iCloud will then be your @me address.
If you migrate your calendars and contacts will also be migrated and continue to work in iCloud. If you create an iCloud account using the Apple ID you use for iTunes you will be given the oportunity to merge your calendars and contacts.
Whichever you choose, it would be agood idea to export your calendars and contacts for back up purposes before doing anything.

How do I get Accounts to recognize my AOL login?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I haven't been able to get Messages to recognize my AOL Instant Messaging login. I've reset the password multiple times but every time I try to add the account (all I want to do is be able to use it for IM), I get the error pictured below (despite entering what I assume to be the correct login credentials - my [email protected] and the just-reset-so-I-know-it's-right password).
Any ideas?

Not terribly helpful, but this is from their website...
Scanning & OCR
I want to Import from Scanner. How can I get my scanner to appear under Devices?
We use Apple's Image Capture framework for our scanning support, so your scanner should appear in the Image Capture application. If you do not see your scanner, you might try contacting Apple (AppleCare for your Mac) to see if they can help get your scanner working with Image Capture. Once that's sorted, it should also work with PDFpen.

YouTube login & linking problems - one possible solution

Rather than add this comment to one of the several topics concerning YouTube login and account linking problems, I'm starting this topic to isolate this particular problem and the solution that worked for me.
* SKIP TO LAST LINE FOR MY SOLUTION ->
The problem I experienced surfaced when I first tried to upload a video to YouTube from my iPhone 4. YouTube would no longer accept my YouTube password. My YouTube account was linked to my gmail.com account. Having read some of the suggestions in other threads, I unlinked the two accounts, but that did not help matters.
I signed out of the YouTube app in order to sign back in, as suggested elsewhere, but then I could no longer sign in to the YouTube app.
So I tried shutting down my iPhone and starting it up again, as was also suggested elsewhere. That didn't help.
So, exasperated, I went to the YouTube site and tried to change my YouTube account password to itself - and therein lay the solution! YouTube told me the password has to be 5 to 20 characters long and my (old) password was only 4 (because I had created my YouTube account long ago before they had that requirement.)
Once I set a new password that was long enough to satisfy this requirement, I was able to login to the YouTube app just fine and everything is working.
* The solution -> MAKE SURE YOUR YouTube PASSWORD IS LONGER THAN 4 CHARACTERS

No, it didn't work. After buying my MacBook Pro I updated everything including QT. As a result QT 7.2 simply didn't play any of my divx avi files. Before adopting the rude way, I obviously tried to update/replace all of the components including: Perian, DivX, Flip4mac. No way. I then forced a downgrade to ver. 7.1.6 using Pacifist (a package manager) and as a result I put the hole system in danger. It was in a total state of malfunction. I had to restore the system with the cd. Fortunately it kept my home! But I now run ver 7.1.6 and I do NOT have any intention to update it. I use Pro so I don't have any necessity of full screen support or else. Maybe if Apple will release a stable version I will consider the update. But for now, "nowing it is not installing it".
