Apple TV2 is not working property

Hi Guys.
I have just two weeks with my apple TV 2 and it drives me crazy.
I have my apple TV2 connected via wi-fi with a Base Station Apple Router. When I'm trying to watch some movies (HD) it worked perfect but in many cases it doesn't, and some, times gives me an error that suggest that I have to try to connect to my Mac later.
I made all the updates: for my Itunes, my Mac, the Base Station and the Apple TV2. Other thing that I tried was connect my Apple TV directly to my Base Station and nothing.
Can anybody tell me what to do? Is there a specific configuration that could be recommended for de Base Station and de AppTV2?
Regards,

Ok... this is the answer for the moment!!!
Everyone has the same problem as I do. The only way I found to solve it was to restart my "Base Station" router and then remake the wireless router connection with the Apple TV 2.
It's a shame, but in my case it worked. I guess that would be the procedure from de moment until APPLE make some important update to the software of the APPLE tv.

Yes, this is activation lock. Return the phone for a refund, as it is useless without the activation information of the previous owner.

Apple TV does not work after trying to update software. Main light keeps blinking and on the screen shows itunes icon and a usb cable. What does that means?

Only the Apple ID that was used to enable "Find My iPhone" on the device can be used to bypass Activation Lock.

Hello jhidro1
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to get passed the Time and Date screen, try a restore on your Apple TV. It will still get you to that same screen but you may be able to enter the information that is needed to proceed further.

My apple tv is not working everytime i try to down load it stops and says error try again later i have updated credit card itunes and rebooted both and still wont work i am loosing my patience as i cant get any support for this

my apple tv is not working every time i try to download a movie it says error try again later

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

My apple id is not working on my phone

hi
my apple id is not working on my iphone

Are you trying to activate the phone after restoring it? Or use the ID in the App Store? Or for iCloud?
Something else?
Please elaborate so we can try to help.

Apple Pay is not working

My apple pay is not working. Period.
When I have tried using it at a McDonald's, and Walgreen, nothing has popped up at all.
I live about 3.5 hours from the closest apple store. So I am at a loss on what I need to do.

Just a note:
I have three cards added, (all three are Wells Fargo) Under the cards, it says that it has been added, but nothing else has ever shown up.
I have tried several times to restore the phone to factory settings and try again. Still no luck.
I have read numerous articles on setting it up and am 100% sure I did it correct. Just not working.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

Apple TV does not work!

My Apple TV will not work on my television, and comes up with a message saying 'can not display this mode. Change computer display input to 1360x168 at 60Hz', help?!

See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3734909
You may have NTP blocked on your firewall, or may need to replace/upgrade your router.

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

It started working.....!!!!! (It seems someone back there is listening)
I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
TIPS:
I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
good luck!!
