"error occurred while loading this content" ... ATV2 not even 24hrs old...

I just bought this ATV2. I am using AT&T internet with an EDGE250AEW wireless router and a Motorola modem.
I'm attempting to rent movies with my ATV2 and watch them. After a myriad of times of trying to just sign into my iTunes account via ATV2, I finally was able to rent a movie.
When I click on the movie to rent, I'll press "PLAY" and it will give me the message "error occurred while loading this content".
I realize my internet connection is slow (1.5M) so I am renting in SDef ... but that still shouldn't be preventing me from even being able to rent a movie.
I attempt to watch a movie preview ... and a 2 minute movie preview takes over 5 minutes to load ... and it wont start playing until it's completely loaded. Bollocks!
I have updated my software, I have rebooted, I have restarted, I have recycled ... no avail.
Is this a PORT opening issue? I dont know what is going on but it's REALLY frustrating to have a 100 dollar paper weight.
I AM able to use home sharing and watch movies from my Macbook iTunes to the ATV2 ... but rentals from the store via the ATV2 doesn't work.
help please

You are definitely NOT the only one here with this MAJOR issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2615363
I have the same issue, and I have a 6MB AT&T Elite Pro DSL service that I have always had since purchasing my ATV2 in October. Never have I had these issues until the 4.2 update. Horrible software bug and it keeps coming back up. TV shows, movies, etc. No rhyme or reason. Some shows new, some old. Some movies HD, some SD. It is almost as if the Apple TV rolls a die and if I get an odd number, I get the error message. Even number, it plays through...
Why would Apple continue to release software updates that do not address these issues? We have to keep leaving Apple feedback on this issue that is big enough that over 13,000 views on their own message board confirm this problem since the 4.2 software update a few weeks ago...

ATV2: Error occurred while loading this content

This error started appearing out of the blue today. And I'm nearly at my wits end with this, because no solution I could possibly think of makes any difference. I would get this error intermittently once a month or so, but unplugging ATV2 and doing a cold start would usually resolve this.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Symptoms:
"An error occurred while loading this content" appears
It appears exclusively for movies, TV shows and music in my iTunes library
It affects all media - nothing in my iTunes library will play
Streaming of purchased content form iTunes store is not affected by this error
I am able to play my iTunes content on my Mac
I am able to play my iTunes content on a different Mac via HomeSharing
I am unable to play any media stored in my iTunes library on my ATV. Period.
What I've tried (to no avail):
Power cycled my cable modem (DOCSIS 3 compliant)
Power cycled my AirPort
Power cycled my Mac
Power cycled my ATV2
Logged out of iTunes store on Mac and ATV2 and logged back in
Turned off Home Sharing on Mac and ATV2 and started it up again
My setup:
I have a 25+ mbps cable internet
Airport Extreme is my main router
Mac is connected to AE via ethernet (it houses my iTunes library and has WiFi shut off)
ATV2 is connected to AE via ethernet as well
Both Mac and ATV2 have reserved IP addresses on Airport Extreme and always get the same IP, no conflicts
Both Mac and ATV2 have a good connection speed when tested
All software and firmware is up to date and Mac, AE and ATV2

An error occurred while loading this content - only with iPhone not iPad

I know this issue has been discussed to death with no real solution in sight but my case is slightly different:
1. On my new iPad, I select AppleTV (not mirroring), open Safari, then to YouTube and play any HD video. Immediately, the video will be streamed to the AppleTV with no hassle.
2. I do the same on my iPhone 4, 4S or 5 and all I get is "An error occurred while loading this content. Try again later". This occurs without fail.
If I use Jasmine YouTube client, streaming will work perfectly but alas, this app is prone to the error message "Youtube has restricted feeds for this video" and thus, I can't use this.
If I use the new google youTube app, only the audio gets streamed to the AppleTV. I have to use mirroring and the video does not fill the TV screen but leaving a dark border all round. The streaming is not smooth either. The previous youTube app by Apple works perfectly - never had an issue. As soon as iOS6 came along, I end up with all these problems.
Is there a solution to all this? Currently, I use only my iPad for streaming YouTube videos but I really want to use my spanking new iPhone 5 but can't.
I am so sad.
Can anyone help or am I doomed to use only my iPad for this? I am soooo disappointed with the iPhone 5 due to this.

Has any other fixes been found. Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem. It doesn't matter what I stream through either. I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix.
I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows. I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on. Frustrating to say the least.

An error occurred while loading this content apple tv 2

I get "An error occurred while loading this content" when trying to view a rental movie. Not all of them but a few rentals. I wonder why only a few?

are you renting these movies directly from the appleTV or are you renting/downloading from iTunes on a computer then streaming to appleTV?

TS3623 "An error occurred while downloading this content, try again later."

I have received this error message for over a week. I have tried resetting, restoring, unplugging, checked WiFi, connections, everything I've seen mentioned in other articles. Previews for ATV movies work, Netflix works, but newer purchases and rentals receive the error message. I recently upgraded my software and that seems to be when the trouble started. Airplay from my MacBook Pro to my ATV works. Any ideas?

I really wish it were. However, having read many of the hundreds of threads on this site devoted to this topic, I see that there are infinite workarounds that one can try, which may or may not resolve problems, there is no actual solution to the overall problem.
If you know differently, I invite you to provide the solution. But from what I gather, there is no solution to provide.

Keep getting "error occured durring loading this content"

have access to other apps, just switched to Ethernet between router and AppleTV unit but WiFi also gets this message?? Unit was operational for months just slow to download.

Power cycle the ATV and router.

Hi Rao
Please don't keep creating new postings for the same issue as it is hard to keep answering multiple posts about the same thing.
If you have done all of the things suggested by Keith in my previous reply, which as I say is what I would have done, then you really ought to raise this as a service request to Oracle.
I'm advising this because the particular error you are encountering does not come up in my database of fixes neither could I find any reference to it in either the OTN or MetaLink forums. This needs to be brought to Oracle's attention.
Best wishes
Michael

Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. it doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. Music is all I use on it.

Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. The apps are still on it. It doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. It just said it was a software update, I should have avoided it. Music is all I use on it so help me please!

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.
