Can't connect to watch abc on Apple TV

Can't connect to watch abc on Apple TV

I'm having a problem with getting past the "Accessing ABC" with the "loading wheel of doom" screen.  Consistently will not load, and has not since I purchased the ATV last year.  Have restarted, then reset all settings and finally restored to factory with same ATV.  I have Comcast/XFINITY and have not reached out to them yet (I'm delaying that four hour hold time as long as I can.)  I have been able to activate one of the Disney apps using the same WiFi connection I'm using for ABC, and was able to stream video effortlessly when activated.  I am really frustrated that I can't get the Watch ABC app to load, and looking at the feedback given over the past year or so, responsibility has been shunted from Apple to ABC to the internet provider so that there seems to be no solid answer.  Any thoughts?  Thanks very much in advance

  • Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi, Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi

    can I connect and aircard 782s to  apple wifi

    Hi,
    According to the http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-techspecs web page, the AirCard 782S is a mobile hotspot. This means that it is a mobile broadband modem and a Wi-Fi base station in one device.
    If you for some reason wish to connect to the WAN port of an AirPort Extreme base station, a mobile broadband modem or hotspot would have to be equipped with an Ethernet port. Special configuration may be required.
    The AirCard 782S does not have an Ethernet port (it may or may not be possible to get one externally: http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-accessories).
    An AirPort Express (http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs/) could possibly be used to convert Wi-Fi from the hotspot into Ethernet.

    Any standard 3.5mm stereo splitter will do:

    Make sure it is 1 male > 2 female, as above.

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

  • Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

    I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

    Hey Jonas!
    Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

    How old is your MBP (year and season)?
     > About This Mac > More Info...
    Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.  If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

    Hi.
    I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password.  However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try.  I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either.  We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
    Again, my router is a WRT54G.
    Thanks !!!

    Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
    If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

  • Can not connect to Itunes Store through Apple TV.

    I am trying to rent a movie from Apple TV and keep getting a message saying that it can not connect to Itues Store.

    I don't have the parental controls turned on. I have tried to sync a video I purchased on itunes on my macbook and it will not transfer and comes up with an error that the apple tv cannot connect to the itunes store to authorise.
    I'm connected to the internet through a web proxy, however, itunes works normally through this on my macbook and I can download without problems, so I can't understand why the apple tv won't connect to the itunes store.

    A third party app called airparrot can help other models.

  • Can I connect a stereo receiver to Apple TV and stream iTunes to my stereo?

    I copied this question from a discussion archived from 2008, it's pretty much my question, although I hope to get a little more information on the answers... My stereo receiver (Sony STR-D511) is an older one but currently my TV (signal from Directv DVR) plays through the receiver on video 1 but I can't get the Apple TV to play through the stereo... My TV is quite new, a philips 1080, and the Apple TV is hooked in to HDMI 3, the Directv box is hooked into AV3, I believe I'm having issue with all the different sources my TV has and somehow I'm unable to cross the paths (make the connections) any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I would like the ability to play my itunes via Apple TV through my stereo receiver so that it's on the Stereo speakers rather then the TV Speakers.

    Hi, and firstly thanks for the reply... I think my TV back has different labeled areas, so I took a photo and posted -- I'm bad with the electronics terms and the  translating of it all - ( I attached a pic) - I hope this helps with the photos you can also see where I have
    thing plugged in - that one with svideo/rca cables is AV 3, where my DVRbox is going - the red/white cables on the right without a yellow go to my video 1 input on my receiver... the cables on the side are for my dvd player which the audio only works thru TV as well... then also below the red/white ones is HDMI3 where the apple tv is going... that's why i thought the stereo would work because its right below the cables that go to the stereo?
    i hope this helps thanks again for your time
    cheers

  • Can I connect my TV to my Apple TV3 via bluetooth?

    Trying to minimize the wires and was wondering if I can avoid having to connect the ATV directly to the TV.
    To be honest, I dont even know if its possible to transmit video via BT?

    no
    Wireless
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
    Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
    only keyboard works with bluetooth
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
    and even if it did then I don't believe bluetooth has enough bandwidth for hd real time movie transfer
    and even if it did then I don't believe there is a bluetooth profiles for that which would require the one to use the VDP profile which http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles#Video_Distribution_Profi le_.28VDP.29
    rely on h263 codec

  • Can I connect a airport to another Apple base station

    I Have a Apple base station that I purchased a 3 years ago if that. I have a ranch home (1600 sq),  my base station is located in my basement. I cannot get signal to one side of my house. So, I went back to the apple store they told me i needed to buy a airport extrem. That I shoul connect the two and should never have the problem again. Well here I am, still not working and still can't get the two to work together. It's only been 1 1/2, every time I get the courage to try to connect the two, within 30min. I want to throw it out the window. Can someone pleaSe help me?

    Well... you could have purchased an AirPort Express for a lot less money to accomplish the same thing.
    As you can imagine a basement is just about the worst place in a home to put any wireless device, but you ought to be able to accomplish what you want. First, "hard reset" the new Extreme (see below) and configure it again. When asked what you want to do with it, choose "Add to an existing network". That should point you in the right direction.
    If you still have trouble, contact Apple using the Contact Us link below right. Telephone support is free for 90 days, and they will talk you through its setup.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
