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).

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.

Trying to get my apple laptop to connect to wireless network

I have an Airport Express (AE) and have successfully set up a wireless network in which 3 other computers (my work laptop, my wife's work laptop, mother-in-law's laptop) are all able to connect to this wireless network.
However, I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my apple laptop to connect to the same wireless network.
I'd really like to unchain our apple laptop from my office.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions forum EdmundF.
Doesn't your home network name appear in your Airport menulet?

Unlug your router for a few seconds and plug it back in. That often fixes connection issues.

Macbook wont connect to wireless broadband...

ive only just bought a new macbook & am unable to get it to connect to my wireless interenet connection. I can get it to connect via a cable. I am using a netopia caymen 3347w router & am wondering if anyone has had similar problems or any advice???

I have the exact same problem, with the same router, my isp is sending me out a new one, but since this is happening with some one else I am worring it wont fix the problem. I have been on to Applecare, and I have the most uptodate software. any one got a solution?

Devices wont connect to wireless

I have an airport extreme, which has no problem connecting my laptops, desktop and up until recently, my apple tv.
I noticed when I moved into a new place, and set up a new modem, that my iphone wouldn't connect. Then my ipad, and then the apple tv.
My laptop is able to connect and gets and upload speed of 21, so I know its working...
What could be causing these devices to not connect?
Ipad - recognizes the network, but when I try to connect, it just spins and spins
Iphone - recognizes the network, but when i try to connect, it tells me it is unable to join the network
apple tv - recognizes network, says its connected, say it gets full signal, but when i try to open netflix, it tells me my apple tv is not connected to the internet.
Its so confusing and frustrating. I am hoping there is some bonehead thing that is super obvious that I am missing that will be the solution to all my problems.

Reset the airport to factory and start over. It simply requires this to work on a new setup.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
I strongly advise you when doing the new setup.. do not use the old values.. in fact use names for the AE base station and wireless that conform to SMB standard.. that means Short.. less than 10 characters is good.. keep 20 as max. No Spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Tell us if you keep having trouble.
Need more info.. make and model of modem.. actual model of AE.. how everything connects.

HPC8180 Printer wont connect to wireless network, after firmware upgrade to Wireless Router

My HPC8180 has been connecting wirelessly since I bought it sometime ago. I recently had to upgrade the firmware on my Netcom NB9W wireless router and since then my HP wont resolve to the wireless network.
I run the Wireless Network wizzard on the printer, select the correct SSID and enter the WEP key as per instructions.
It then will not connect.
The summary I print out says it passes everything except:
No Filtering = Fail
Connected = Not Run
Signal Strength = Very Low (which is strange because it's about 10ft from Wireless Router).
Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID) = No
Summary says:
Network Name (SSID) altnet (correct)
IP Address = Not applicable
Configuration Source = Not applicable
Communication Mode = Infrastructure
Authentication Type = Open System
Encryption = 64-bit WEP
I have NOT turned on mac address filtering
Any ideas??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Your router appears to be a DSL modem router. Those can be tricky to connect to. Also, WEP can be problematic and is no longer a good security measure. WEP can be broken in about 10 minutes with freeware from the internet.
Let's do three things:
1. Change to WPA or WPA2 encryption. You can make up your own password. Make it 13 or more characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case.
2. Reset the Network Defaults in your printer (Setup > Network area).
3. Attach to the router in this way:
Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device (Wireless Setup WIzard)
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Finally, plug in the phone line, reboot the router and test.

Apple apps wont connect to internet

A couple of days ago I found that Safari would no longer connect to the internet. Luckily I had a backup browser that i could use in the meantime. I use Camino now because it works and Safari doesn't. I also found that iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store. I checked software update and that couldn't connect either...The rest of the macs in the house all connect to the wireless G network just fine. I have read forums and still cant find an answer to this issue. Right now I am downloading the 10.4.10 Intel COMBO update to see if this will help. I have ran an archive and install with no results. The funny thing is, all the apple apps work when i am connected directly to my router.

Not if you chose to preserve network settings and user accounts. You've reduced the possibility that it's a problem within separate user accounts, since the new user also has this problem. So perhaps it's in the network settings (corrupted or set incorrectly somehow). Network settings are set uniformly across all accounts; that would make sense. However, I don't know what network settings will allow Camino to work, but not Safari and iTunes.

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.

New Macbook Pro. wont connect to wireless network once it has had a update

hi
bought a new macbook pro last week, when you first start it up it connects fine to a wireless network, but once the software update is compltete it says that there is an error trying to jion network. there is already a powerbook g4 connected to the network and a pc. i have re installed tiger and it can connect fine until the software update has restarted the mac and the same error is back again. do i re install it again and never update it or is there a simple way to correct the fault

My girlfriends New Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I does connect to non-secure wireless connections such as at the airport but doesn't connect to her home wireless connection that is run by an SBC DSL 2WIRE gateway. I can connect fine on her old IBM laptop that I am on right now through this network wirelessly.
There has to be a fix for this?
