Date and time cannot be set

I just bought Apple TV. The setting date and time thing is literally taking forever. As well, when I enter my iTunes name and password it tells me it's incorrect. How can I fix this??

That means it's having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be on automatic. Check that router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Reboot router, ATV.

Apple TV3 setup reports that: "iTunes login failed - cannot sign-in until Network date and time has been set".

During Apple TV setup, I have not been able to complete the Home Sharing process. Computer/iTunes Home Sharing is setup, but ATV "blocks" its Home Sharing setup. After my Apple ID and password is entered, ATV reports a failure. Also, attempts to login to iTunes from ATV, ATV reports: "iTunes login failed - cannot sign-in until Network date and time has been set". It directs me to the Network tab, but there's no option to set date and time. I have no clue how to do that.
Help!!! Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to solve this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are things to look out for to make sure your Apple TV can reach the network time server, such as ensuring port 123 is open and only using the DNS address provided by your ISP, but since it was OK one moment and not the next, my guess is these settings are already correct.
As for the restart, did you try restarting by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

"RT Set date and time" does not set seconds in UTC mode

Hallo,
I tried to set the time on my cRio 9012 with the function settimeUTC which is used by the "Set Date and Time" vi. But the seconds I enter are ADDED to the current time and not set as new value.
Even the vi shows this behaviour: I set up a vi in which the time is set in a loop (100ms delay) and read again. When I set local time the clock stops (as expected) but when I set the UTC time the seconds keep on running...
Can anybody help me with that problem???
Thanks
Florian
Solved!

Hi Andreas,
well it does not matter if I set a time zone in the MAX or not. In my example I was working on UTC + 0 but even when I set it to my local time (UTC + 1) I get the same behaviour modified by one hour.
My LabView Version is 8.5. In in the MAX under Software-> LabView-RealTime it says that I am using 8.5.0.
I suspect that the settime.out which is installed on the cRio is probably the root of the problem as VxWorks itself does not offer a function (at least I did not find one) to convert from broken down system time to system time in seconds. There only exist one to convert from broken down local time to system time in seconds ( mktime() ). The reverse function is available for both cases: gmtime() and localtime(). I also did not find a way to find out the offset of the local time. So I have to use the library function settimeUTC() from settime.out.
As I offered I can send you the settime.out file from my cRio for reference or maybe you can tell me how to find out what the version of the file is. It seems not to be an ELF file as I looked inside it to find some timestamp or version info...
Thanks so far
Florian

The date and time will not set why?

It keeps saying selecting date and time but never does. I tried signing in with my apple ID and it says to set date and time first and the only thing it lets me select is state.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

APPLE TV 2 HD model and updated to latest version 6.1.1 since doing that it won't set date and time and tells me my Apple ID and password are incorrect and I know there not. What do I do?

It connects to internet fine. I have tried restoring back to factory condition and hard wire update by connecting it to my Mac mini .
The date and time won't set. And won't acknowledge my Apple ID and password......... I am usually tech savy but this has caused me grief .
Do I need to downgrade my update....
But can't get any menus until I log in my apple account...
It can't log into my iTunes account until time and date have been set.
When I did the hard wire restore connected to Mac mini it wouldn't go past the date and time screen as it wouldn't when I did the wifi update too.
it just would get past that screen.
Anyone help!!

This is the result of a network issue. Ensure port 123 on the router is open.

Snow Leopard users: Turn off automatic date and time in System Preferences immediately

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/12/apple-automatically-patches-macs-to-fix-sev ere-ntp-security-flaw/
When exploited, the NTP flaw can cause buffer overflows that allow remote attackers to execute code on your system.
What this means is that, if you allow date and time to be set automatically by outside servers, you risk having your computer taken over.
This is a critical issue, it's being exploited as we speak, and Apple has not provided the update to Snow Leopard users, only to 10.8/Mountain Lion and above. I strongly doubt Apple will ever get around to issuing an update for Snow Leopard, or they would have already. Chances of that happening are close to zero

To me 10.6.8 is still the best OS X Apple ever released and I patched my system just like the shellshock back in September. It's really easy if you have some basic shell skills and XCODE installed,
Here is what I did, it may save you some time:
open the terminal app
1) Download the source code, apply the patch (I got the source code links from the ntp site)
cd ~
mkdir ntpd-fix
cd ntpd-fix
curl http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-4.2/ntp-4.2.8.tar.gz | tar zxf -
2) Patch and compile the ntp source code
cd ntp-4.2.8/ntpd
curl http://bugs.ntp.org/attachment.cgi?id=1165 | patch -p1
cd ..
./configure && make
3) Open the system preferences - Date & Time - uncheck Set date and time automatically (to stop the process)
4) Rename the old object and then replace/copy them with the new objects
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv sntp sntp.old
sudo mv ntpq ntpq.old
sudo mv ntp-keygen ntp-keygen.old
cd /usr/sbin
sudo mv ntpdc ntpdc.old
sudo mv ntpdate ntpdate.old
sudo mv ntpd ntpd.old
cd ~/ntpd-fix/ntp-4.2.8
sudo cp sntp/sntp /usr/bin
sudo cp util/ntp-keygen /usr/bin
sudo cp ntpq/ntpq /usr/bin
sudo cp ntpdc/ntpdc /usr/sbin
sudo cp ntpdate/ntpdate /usr/sbin
sudo cp ntpd/ntpd /usr/sbin
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/sntp
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/ntp-keygen
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/ntpq
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpdc
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpdate
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpd
5) Open the system preferences - Date & Time - uncheck Set date and time automatically (to start the process)
6) Done.
-- update time manually
sudo ntpdate -u time.apple.com
-- check ntpd version (should now be: ntpd [email protected])
sudo ntpd --version

Date and time mapping

Hi Experts,
can any one suggest me how to map current date and time to target.
my requirement is: to concatenate current date and current time and map it to target field.
Thanks.

In the date function "currentDate" function is there drag that one and double click on that and press the help icon here you can add the time.(if you want both date and time u can set other vise u need only time you delete the date format)
OR
currentDate(predefined function)
currentTime(edit currentDate predefined functionlike above)
by using concate function you can add

My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
mm = month
dd = date
hh = hour (24 hour format)
nn = minutes past the hour
yyyy = year
Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
sudo date 020821002014
or
sudo date 0208210014
Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

From yesterday, I have been facing the problems in my iphone and my wife iphone. The same problem, "cannot connect to itunes store". I have strong internet connection. I tried all the possible way I could like setting, general, date and time.....etc.

I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?

No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
I'll update the routers DNS to try using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS?

MyRio Cannot Communicate When the Getting Started Wizard Tries to Set Date and Time

I cannot seem to get MyRio to communicate with my computer. I have installed all the items on both discs and applied any updates that it asked me to do. I plug in the MyRio, the device window pops up and I click the Getting Started Wizard. The myRio is found by the computer and I click on it. It says checking software, then asks me to rename it. I do so and then it attempts to set the date and time. At this point it says it cannot communicate with the myRio and to check that the power supply and USB are plugged in, which are obviously connected since the computer was able to find the myRio in the first place.
NI MAX can see the myRio, says that it is in "Safe Mode (Software not installed)."
There may be a problem with conflicting LabViews, since I had 2012 originally before installing the 2014 packages. Does anyone know if the myRio discs are installing the full LabView 2014, or just packages for LabView 2014 that will not work without first installing the full LabView 2014? Or is there a quick fix for this?
Any help is appreciated.

All of a sudden my ATV came up with a message stating trying to set dat and time however cannot access. Could this be due to the recent hacking of Apple or is it something new. How do I fix?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not related to any hacking.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    3.    Restart your router.
    4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Cannot get pass the "Setting date and time" screen

Hi, I am faced with a very serious problem... someone please help!
I bought home an Apple TV (2nd generation) for my parent overseas, but when I switched on - it got stuck on "Setting date and time" screen and cannot continue. Pressing "menu" button (or hold on for many seconds) does not work at all! I am stuck in that screen. Restart the Apple TV does not helped.
I thought it is the issue of the remote control (maybe "menu" key has failed), so I bought another one (the aluminum model) and the same issue persists! I tested the remote control on Mac (boot up and press menu key, using Better Touch Tool... both shows the menu key is working).
What shall I do? Thanks!

is it connected to the internet either wired or wirelessly

My AppleTV cannot set date and time. I've reset it, but after 3 hours, it is still trying

My AppleTV used to work fine. Someone messed with my Time Capsule, so I had to have it worked on. Since it was messed up, the AppleTV can't function. I reset it and updated everything. It said "Activating" and "setting date and time". After 3 hours, it is still trying to set the date and time. Now what do I do? Thanks for any help.

As I previously wrote in a former post:
I will first assume you are still setting up your new Apple TV. Is this is the case, use a website like canyouseeme.com to check if port 123 is open. If it is not, this is your issue of your Apple TV not being able to connect to the timeserver. Try contacting your Internet Service Provider for help with opening this port.
Otherwise, try hard resetting your Apple TV by disconnecting all power for 30 seconds. If the problem still persists, you may try hard resetting your router by also unplugging all power for 30 seconds.
Hope this worked out well for you. If you are having further troubles you can always connect it to iTunes using a micro-usb and restore it. Lastly, the Genius Bar will be more than happy to fix the problem for you if you'd like to make a reservation for your local Apple Store.

TS1702 Cannot connect to store. Which reads a secure connection could not be established. Please check your date & time settings. What should i do if its already set to the right date and time?

Can not enter my apps store or itunes store. What should i do?

Turn the tables on the iTunes Store. Try this.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to download the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try again.

Can't remotely connect to my server if I automatically set date and time

Hello.
I have configured my OS X 10.6.2 server and am able to remotely manage it.
The only ports I have opened on my router is for Mail and VPN services.
Things work perfectly because I can connect using VPN to iChat, iCal, Address Book, Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, AFP, FTP and such.
The problem is that on my laptop from home, or wherever, if its time is set to update automatically from an NTP server (I have tried with Apple's as well as my server for the NTP Servers) then I cannot connect to my server at all...
The moment I turn off the auto date and time and reconnect to the office's VPN, I am able to use Server Admin, AFP, FTP, Workgroup Manager, Screen Sharing, etc, etc, etc.
It's utterly frustrating because I have to open system preferences, disable the automatic date and time update, connect to the VPN and do stuff on the server. Then I have to disconnect from VPN and re enable the auto date and time.
Could someone explain why this is happening and any possible solutions I might be able to try?
Thanks in advance,
Felipe.

OK, after some testing things seem to be working now.
I opened the NTP port for my server (So I don't have to be on VPN to update the time)....But regardless of that, Server admin and my corporate site work fine.
Here is my problem, I don't understand why it's working now when 30 minutes ago I was having trouble connecting to my server regardless of what NTP Server I used.
The only service I can't access is Workgroup Manager, but I don't know if that is supposed to be accessible only locally (though it doesn't matter since I can screen share but I would still like to know).
Thanks in advance,
Felipe.
