AT&T U-Verse and Apple TV set up problems

I can only get my Apple TV to the join network screen. I put in my network password and get an error "There was a problem connecting to the network. There was a problem with your network connection. Check your settings and try again. (-6)"
I have the Apple TV connected to Samsung 850 via HDMI.
I know the password is correct as I have my MacBook and IPhone wireless. Are there settings on the Residential Gateway that need to be made in order for the Apple TV to join?

I wish I had more choices for Broadband isp'd in my area but ATT is it, except for paying 3 times as much, but
I doubt that has anything to do with issues around setting up your Apple TV, because it works for me. I was thinking the kind of TV, and then I read you descrition again. Apple TV should work for you, unless some setting is wrong getting the signal from your computer/and or broadband to the Apple TV device. Don't give up, there is a solution. What kind of Computer are you using and Whats your OS?

HT4352 problem sharing iTunes with new Apple TV.(model MD199LL/A. I have iTunes and Apple TV set up with same address and passwords, enabled iTunes and Apple TV for home sharing and still nothing? I have latest iTunes and Apple TV update. Any other sugges

Have a problem with Home Sharing with Apple TV and iTunes. Have latest iTunes and Apple TV downloads. Have both items set up for home sharing with same address and passwords. AppleTV running fine for everything else. FYI, my library is about 60gigs. AppleTV model is MD199LL/A if that matters. Really want to hear my entire music library and not just Purchased items. Thanks for any help!!!

I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

Cannot install itunes AND Apple Mobile Device (BIG PROBLEM)

Ok so there is a BIG problem, 3 weeks ago, itunes was working perfectly, and then i got a problem and i had to delete itunes and i also deleted Apple Mobile Device and bonjour and quicktime, but when i try to reinstall itunes, i can't, it just skips the installation and i tried to download apple mobile device separately but it wont work too, i just want to put music on my ipod touch (PLEASE HELP) Thanks

How are you doing the itunes install, BOSS? Are you using Apple Software Update for Windows, or are you downloading and installing itunes from the following location?

If you try installing from the website download link, do you get an error message during the install? If so, what does it say? (Precise text please.)

HT204053 I have iTunes ID and Apple ID. Having problems! Can't consolidate into one?

I have read many support postings on this, but none help! Gaaaa!
I have my iTunes/AppStore ID pointed to my Yahoo email.
I later set up an iCloud email account (of course with "@iCloud.com" domain).
When I try to access iCloud email, I get a prompt to set up my iCloud account
on this iPad. I already have it set up! What the heck?
I assume it might be confused because I have two "accounts", but I really have no idea.
Theu are separate functionally and by name.
So I tried to change my ITunes account (used to purchase apps) to use my iCloud email addy.
Apple says I can't use it, because it's an account owned by Apple.
What in the frog is wrong with using an Apple-owned account? That seems best to me.
But I'm afraid that I would lose access to my purchased apps, even tho AppStore should know
(or be notified) that I have just renamed my account, not transferred it to a different device, etc.
I'll bet others have similar problems, but haven't been able to find out how they have solved theirs.
(I also lost six months of Notes a while back, perhaps related to this problem.)

TThanks, randers4, for helping me out.
(I'm re typing this because in switching back and forth between apps
I lost all 8 paragraphs that I typed earlier. And I'm getting
ttwo capital letters at beginning of sentences. Odd.)
I tried your steps, and they worked. Cool. But why hide this functionality?!
Like so many features in iOS, it's not apparent to most users.
I used to write tech docs for HP, so I do understand the RTFM concept. Ha!
THe initial problem arose when I tried to copy some photos
from iPad to OneDrive and Google Drive.
I tried to select multiple files, and then Copy to a diff cloud drive. No dice.
Only options were to Mail, Copy, Print, AirDrop, etc. But no choices for other cloud drives
appeared there, like I expected. (I thought they were there in the past.)
SO I read support forums, and one said to use Cloud Opener. It worked, but
it is so convoluted (in my mind). In Windows, I just multi-select files and
DRag+Drop them where I like. Simple.
AM I missing something, like some metaphor of the OS, that would be
really helpful?
ANd back to an original question--can I merge my iTunes login (Yahoo username) with my
APple ID (iCloud username)?? I want just one password to remember, and change, but
I fear losing all my apps. And I couldn't make the change to an iCloud email addr
because iOS said it couldn't be an Apple-related domain. This seems so arbitrary.
HElp, please?
oh, and iOS asked me to login again, even tho I already was.

Gmail Google Apple Mail Set Up Problem

I have had my Gmail POP account working successfully for about a year. I recently switched my internet provider and since then I can not get Apple Mail of my Jabber iChat account to work.
The problem I get with Apple mail is: Connection Failed The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
The iChat message is: Could not connect to Jabber. Could not connect to host talk.google.com
I sent many emails to Google showing them my set up and they could not help. They said I should contact my internet provider.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks, Nick

My new ISP provider which is ERSnet.net could provide now help. I am forced to use them because of my stupid apartment complex. I miss comcast Anyway, ERSnet.net say everything Apple Mail should work but they admitted that no one at the company understands or uses Apple Computers. Their website www.ersnet.net has a section for FAQ which is pretty bad as well.

Home Networking and Multiple Router Set up Problem

Router 1 (Main Access Point)
        X
(Routers 1 and 2 connected via a wireless bridge)
Router 2 (Wired Access Point)
    X
(Router 2 and 3 connected via a wired bridge)
Router 3 (Wired & Wireless Access Point)    Note:broadcasting under a different SSID
         X
Problem:
When I set up a wireless and wired bridge my Internet connection works perfectly and I can connect to the second SSID. If, however, I close out of my browsing session and come back to my laptop several hours later and open a browser, I get the “webpage cannot be displayed” message.
I suspect this has to do with IP addresses changing from the main router after a certain amount of time.
What could be causing this?
What can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks for any help

Running multiple router behind router can be tricky and may be the cause of your dropouts if you don't have it configured properly.
Cisco recommends using your best router as your primary router and DHCP server.
The best way to setup for home networks, in my opinion, is to use only one router, and put the other router(s) in bridge mode. Also, make sure your modem is not a router too.

Snow Leopard and Apple 20 inch ACD Problem

Installed SL using the defaults on one of my White MacBooks - no problems, except its not any quicker.
As everything seemed ok, decided to intstall SL on my Mac Pro with a 20 inch ACD. Part way through the install the display started flashing between blue screen and installed progress screen.
Install finished OK, and rebooted. The screen just now switched between all light blue and showing the desktop. If I use a Macbook and screen share, all is OK with the desktop. I have tried changing the screen settings using screen share and not had any luck getting the ACD to work.
Anyone any ideas?
I assume it is still the ongoing problem of the screen drivers Apple screwed up with the last "update" to Leopard that was never fixed. I had thought they might have sorted it for SL
SPB

I had a very similar problem.
On my MacBook Pro, half way through the screen went black, and looked as if the brightness was turned all the way down. I held a flashlight to the back of my screen and logged in, and the brightness returned to the normal level.
On my Mac Pro, I have 6 monitors with 3 dual head cards, factory installed. One of the monitors, is black. Again it looks like the brightness is turned all the way down. There is no way for me to change the brightness level in the System Preferences.
After talking to Apple Support for 45 minutes and trying different things, they recommended that I reinstall Snow Leopard. I am in the process now.

HT204380 My iPhone and iPad are set up under the same account and when I try to FaceTime with the iPad or vice versa it says face time is busy and will not connect, how do I fix this

My iPhone and iPad are set up under the same account and when I try to FaceTime with the iPad or vice versa it says face time is busy and will not connect, how do I fix this

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

If i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime. Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

I have just received a new iphone 5s and need to set the Apple ID with my work email. I used my work email on my personal iphone 4s to set up an icloud account and it will not let me use this email as the Apple ID on my new iphone. As it is a work phone I need to use this email address as my Apple ID. How do I do this?

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

I recently restored my iPhone 5, setting up as new, due to software issues. I wasn't able to use my old Apple i.d. and had to set up a new one, so now I have 3 of those. If I need to repeat this process, how do I sign in with a current i.d.?

Apple checked out my iPhone 5 and told me the Springboard app was corrupt, affecting battery life. They advised me to wipe the phone and set it up as new so new software would be installed. I did this, but couldn't sign in with my Apple i.d. I had to create a new one. This "fix" didn't improve battery life, and Apple replaced the phone. I set the new phone up using "restore from backup" and the battery life is terrible. I'd like to wipe it and install the software from scratch but don't want to have to have another new Apple i.d. How can I do this?

Restore from the backup!
You password: You have set it! It might be your passcode or you mioght have set it accidentally, so test all of the passwords you normally use. If you cannot get the password you backup is lost, but you can still sync your iTunes content.
