Apple TV YouTube account log-in

I just got an Apple TV and am having difficulties logging in to my YouTube account. It fails every tedious time. Wrong name or password. The same "wrong" name or password I successfully used to log-in on all my Boxee Boxes, and my WD TVs. Is there some trick that I am missing here?

Hello zeiad,
I would restart the Apple TV in this way, and then log into you tube via the settings in the menu.
Restarting your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) using the onscreen menu
If you have Apple TV software 5.0 or later installed, you can restart your Apple TV using the onscreen menu. To restart your Apple TV choose Settings > General > Restart.

  • Apple tv youtube account

    O camt ligin youtube form mu Apple tv even though ı cüretten youtube account what is the problem

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with an "upgraded" youtube account.  i.e. ages ago I must have pressed the upgrade button and integrated it into Google.  I login via a gmail username.  This account behaves the same way as a new google/youtube account.
    My hardware is Apple TV 3 purchased around April 2012 in Australia
    spent hours trying all sorts of remedies nothing worked e.g. :-
    - enabled two factor authentication in youtube
    - create mobile application password
    In the end the answer was simple,  turned off all the above and reverted the account to it's basic settings.
    Create a channel in the account and it started working

  • This youtube account cannot be used with apple tv

    I cannot view youtube on my apple tv.  It worked a couple of weeks ago but now does not.  I tried to log into youtube on apple tv and get the message that "this youtube account cannot be used with apple TV.  Anyone know the problem?

    Establish a Google+ channel. Then be sure your ATV has the latest update. This worked for me last week.

  • Has anyone else had trouble connecting their YouTube account to the Apple TV?

    My YouTube account is connected to my Gmail account.  I never set up a second YouTube account with a username, etc.  When I try to log in to the AppleTV YouTube app, it says "this type of account cannot be used."  I'm not sure what the issue is.  Can anyone help?

    You have to go into your Gmail account settings.
    Then Security.
    Then turn ON 2-Step Verification
    Follow the instructions to link a cell phone to your google account. They will text you a secondary code and once you've entered that your 2-step verification will be set up.
    Then you should have the option on the bottom of the page to add a device. Call it apple tv and then it will generate a secondary code specifically for your Apple TV.
    On the Apple TV itself, ultimately I think you have to enter just the first part of your e-mail address (before the @gmail.com) as your Youtube login username.
    Then you should enter your gmail account password.
    Apple TV will tell you it is incorrect.
    Then, retry and enter the long secondary password that google generated for the apple tv.
    That should do it.

  • How can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google.

    how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.

    Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
    If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

  • Will deleting my you tube app affect my youtube accounts becuase since uploading the latest Apple update, everytime I go to click on something on my youtube page, it switches to the app and then comes back and opens up another tab and never did that

    I am having a problem with my youtube account, as since updating to iOS 8.3, the other day, every time I go to my youtube account and click on anything there by opening up a tab, it always goes to the youtube app and then goes back and opens a new tab.  Everytime I have updated, it seems to get worse not better.  One other thing that happened that has not been fixed yet when I updated a while ago, was that when you have many tabs open and go back and forth between them, it aleays reloads and does not stay the way you left it.  Wish Apple would get it right and especially with youtube issues.  So my question regarding my youtube account would be if I can delete the youtube app, without affecting my account.

    If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account.  You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
    As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2.  Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices. 
    We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too, 

  • I can't log into my YouTube account and each time I try the screen turns black, says "connection not trusted" and doesn't allow me the option to add exception like it normally does when I recieve this message trying to log into a website.

    I just got new ATT dsl internet service. Now, when I try and log into my YouTube account and numerous other websites, instead of logging me in, the screen turns black with a message displayed saying, "connection not trusted." On most sites, it will give me the option to either, "get me out of here" or "I understand the risks, allow exception." When I try logging into YouTube, the only option I have is; "get me out of here!"

    Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.

  • I cannot log in to my YouTube account?

    Since I installed Firefox on my PC more than a month ago, I cannot log in to my YouTube account, and cannot watch any videos there. I get an error message, telling me connection to this site (something like that) has failed, you can "retry" it again. Nothing come of it when I retry. This is very frustrating and I'm close to giving up on Firefox as a result. Please help.

  • Cant log in to my youtube account?

    I cant log in to my youtube account using my details but i can log in from the safari browser but not with the application. I get a error saying authentication failed. How do i fix this?

    Hi lvhyflyer,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    What exactly happens when you try setting up your Cox account on your Nokia 1020? Do you get any error message? Also, do you have other email accounts set up on the phone? If yes, are you getting the same issue with the other accounts?
    Setting up an email address requires a mobile data or WiFi connection. Try testing it by visiting websites using the mobile browser. You may also try deleting the internet cache of your phone by going to Settings > Applications > Internet Explorer > delete history before re-setting up your Cox email.  
    If you have the right settings from your email provider, check this link for the steps on how to properly set up an email account on your Lumia 1020: Set up or delete an email account.
    Hope to hear feedback from you soon.

    iCloud now insisting on previous Apple id. Cannot log in.
    Will not accept new id and emails old id – a closed email account – with info.  How do I fix?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  Then you can go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your ID back to the way it was.

  • I can't use my youtube account with my apple tv

    I can get YouTube on my Apple TV, but it won't let me use my YouTube account (created through my Mac), on the Apple TV. I'm stumped.

    The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

  • I purchased a UFC Pay Per View through my Youtube account, how do I find it on the Apple TV Youtube channel?

    I just ordered UFC 165 through my Youtube account and was planning to watch it on my TV through Apple TV's Youtube channel. I can't find the main card link on the UFC channel on the Apple TV. Does it appear once the event starts?

    Yes sorry, I can see that from your question title.  Are you in the US? Ifv so movie redownloads should be available, but I believev some studios aren't onboard.
    In iTunes, go to the Store home page - on the right in Quick Links is there a Purchased/Purchases section? If so check if you can download the movies from there.
    If you can't see them go to expresslane.apple.com and raise a support ticket for iTunes store, asking them to enable download via iTunes.

  • If i make a new Itunes account/Apple ID and I log into it on a computer and sync it to my phone, will I loose all the content on my phone?

    I used to share an Itunes account but I recently made my own through my phone.  I have all my stuff from my phone backed up on the computer on my old Apple ID/Itunes account.  I want to back up all my current content on my phone to my NEW Apple ID/Itunes account but I'm afraid things will erase if I try to do so.  How can I do this and still keep all the content on my phone currently?

    You can't back up iTunes store content to a different account on your oomputer.
