Apple TV wont connect to Network

Hi
i have had my apple tv for about 5 months now. to begin with everything was fine, it connectted to my network and i managed to sync everything easily.
However for the last month i have been unable to connect my Apple tv to my network.
Even though everything in my house connects and works fine on it. it sees the netwrok but wont connect.
any suggestions as to what i can do to fix this?
thanks

i have a wireless network with the sky netgear router
i enter the passwrod and it comes up witht he error message (-3) and tells me to check the settings
nothing has changed with the network at all, and everything else in my house works fine on it (iMac, Macbook, iphone)
i did upgrade software recently on the apple tv but not sure to what version
the apple tv box in in a unit which also houses my sky+box, bluray player and wii....are they causing interfernece?
BTW my router is in the cupboard under the stairs

  • My apple tv wont connect to i tunes store, but it will to net flix

    my apple tv wont connect to i tunes, but it will connect to netflix

    Youtube is a different service and server.
    Check the network
    What is the current connection, use speedtest.net
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Make sure router is up to date. DNS should be set to automatic (settings - general - network)
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

  • Apple tv wont connect to wireless

    Hi bought an apple tv 6th may this year. Followed all instructions etc and worked perfectly.. Could access all packages etc, picked up from all our devices, iphones, ipad and imac.. Now 4 weeks later and wont connect to wireless at all. Also cant be found on any of our devices. Have tried to reset, restore factory settings etc but nothing. Its like the thing doesn't exist.. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I had the same problem. I tried the Express Lane and they couldn't help, so they sent me to the Apple Store. The Genius Bar checked it out and gave me a new Apple TV. Now it works. The one issue with setting up again was that I had to manually turn on sharing on the Apple TV (Settings/Computer).

  • Apple TV not connecting to network

    My Apple TV does not appear to be connecting to the network and says it is trying to set time and date. My kids lost the apple remote so we have been using the iPhone or iPad as the remote, but now the Apple TV isn't visible.  Is there a way to fix this without an apple remote?

    Scan the Support Community sites and you will find: Apple TV losing connection is prevalent. The many postings point out the problem occurs with:-
    1 Apple TV1,2and 3;
    2 with different brands of router including Airport Extreme;
    3 with current and past versions of iTunes;
    4 after varying periods of working well.....minutes, hours, days;
    5 losing connection with Home Sharing and losing Airplay;
    6 whether the router and Apple TV are in same room or separated by distance;
    7 after trying innumerable posted 'fixes';
    8 after exchanging for a new Apple TV;
    9 with all the recent operating systems -Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard and Lion.
    10 when it loses wifi, the ATV will work immediately if you plug in the ethernet cable.....Steve Jobs called the ATV a hobby, but Apple products are supposed to be better than this.
    I suspect frustrated  readers just give up trying, rather than find a fix, which is why I invite readers to please don't post a fix until you check it works for at least a week.

  • For some reason apple tv wont connect to the network

    Does anyone know why i can't connect this stupid thing to my network.  Its worked fine for like a year, and suddenly it won't connect.  When i go to general settings and click network it shows the network and says i have good signal strength but idk what to do from there.
    PLEASE HELP!!! MY ONLY SOURCE OF NETFLIX AND SHOWS!!!... too cheap for cable lol

    I assume you get to enter your password before the error?
    Is the network security WEP by any chance as I've a feeling AppleTV prefers WPA2.

  • My apple TV2 wont connect to the internet?

    I have my apple tv connected via Ethernet cable to a CISCO hub which is connected to the internet. My laptop is connected to the hub and the internet works great. But the apple TV is running really SLOW, it cant even access netflix and when i tried to play a TV show on I tunes it said it would take 3 hours. I tried switching Ethernet cords and it still wont work. does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm in my college dorm and there's only 1 Ethernet port which is why I have to use a hub.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Many colleges and university have restrictions on their Internet service, contact your administrator to ask if the network provided will support the Apple TV.

  • My apple tv wont connect to my computer or itunes account although all the correct info has been applied

    i have recently moved house and changed internet provider. i have had trouble getting my imac to stay connected to the wifi but this problem has now been solved after a lot of tech support from apple. however my apple tv still wont talk to my computer and itunes account. when i hit the computer icon on apple tv it comes up with "could not connect to J.... B..... library" "make sure the computer is on the same network as your apple tv, the itunes version is up to date, and itunes is running" all of this is correct and i have tried resetting, restoring, reloading, deleting the account and adding again, restarting the modem and all of the same on the imac. still cant get it to work.

  • Iphone wont connect to network and ios 7.0.4 wont update

    I received an iphone 4S for Christmas and having a few problems with it now. The battery went dead to days ago and when I charged it and powered it on the phone will no longer connect to the network. It keeps 'searching' for it but cannot connect. I obviously cannot make or receive calls or messages or use apps as I have no 3G.
    I phoned my network provider and they said the network is fine and its a fault with the phone.
    I noticed when comparing it to my friends phone that I do not have a "carrier" tab within my Settings. Is this the reason why it won't connect?
    I have a notification that I am to update my phone to ios 7.0.4. however the following error message appears "Unable to Install Update. An error occurred installing ios 7.0.4". How do I update this software and will this update the 'carrier' tab that seems to be missing??
    Any ideas of what to do?
    I have tried connecting it to my iTunes, turning it on and off again, updating all my apps but nothing is working......

    Hey there, Liam1123!
    I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
    If the issue is still present after following the troubleshooting steps in that article, you may need to restore your iPhone. Since you’ve already tried to update the iPhone and received an error message, I would suggest restoring the phone by following the instructions in this article:

  • Apple TV 2 connects to network then drops connection

    I have had an Apple TV 2nd generation for a few weeks now and it has worked perfectly. I've been staying at a friend's house for a few days so, I took it there and connected it to their network and it worked fine. I have now brought it home, and it won't work properly. I went to settings and set it to my home wireless network and it sees it and connects properly. Then after 3 of 4 minutes, it disconnects from the network and I have to reconfigure it, only for it to disconnect again. I tried resetting the router but to no avail (mind you I have an Ipad 2 and a home computer connected to the network that doesn't lose connection). I have tried unplugging my apple tv, plugging it in, holding the down arrow and the menu button so that it resets but this has not helped. Some of the forums say that after doing this I should see an option to restore or use a diagnostic utility, but that is not the case when mine restarts. I have also tried going in to setting to restore it to factory defaults,  but I get an error message saying "apple TV can't download the latest update right now. Try again later." It seems absurd that I should need to download something to restore it to factory settings....since I want to restore it to fix a network connection error! I would appreciate any suggestions since I'm not sure what else to try. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
