HT1551 Apple TV "could not sign in unknown error"

Apple TV "could not sign in unknown error"
Has worked forever. Used it the other day. 
Tried tonight and received the above message.
Unplugged it, waited about 20 seconds, then
Restarted it. Same results. Comes with an "ok"
Button.  When I click it I get the same message. 

Unplugged and replugged Apple TV and router still nothing.
Spoke with Apple  and they suggested resetting and the restoring
If necessary. Neither were.  Apple TV decided to start working
Properly on its own.  2&1/2 years and still kicking.  This was the only
Blip.  I love Apple. Cool or uncool. These products have rarely failede
And if they do, the problem is always solved effortlessly.
I love Apple products. Faithful to Apple for 20 years of little to no problems.
Aprox 7 different Apple products currently in use in our home. 
Nothing but the best. Did I say I love Apple?  I do.

  • Could not sign in Unknown error.

    Have had my Apple TV for over a year on the same iTunes account, working flawlessly. All of a sudden today, I get random:
    Could Not Sign In
    Unknown error.
    Messages.
    Restart - nada. Power interrupt - nada.
    Log off and try to log back in in settings: same message every time now.
    Help!

    Sort of. I did a full restore from settings, which resets it to factory settings, but with the latest software update. Then had to set it up like new, and re-login or register apps like MLB, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Took over an hour, but the problem hasn't been back since. Kind of sad that no one replies on these forums, including Apple support. I'm full Apple technology ecosystem in my home, but have started to shop other devices now after this experience. Technology issues I can take. Lack of support, not so much.

  • HT204266 When i sign in App Stores (or Settings iTunes & AppStores), I get an message: "Could not sign in - unknown error"

    help me!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    - Can you sign in on your computer?
    - Could be a temporary Apple problem.

    I would like to know if there is a better to fix this since this iphone has been jailbroken. Google search only shows stuff that talks about installing software that has to do with jailbreaking. I just need to restore back to normal.  Thank you!

  • TS4036 could not sign in server error when trying to restore iphone from icloud

    I am trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud  backup.  I deleted everything on the phone per restore instructions. Connected to wireless on iPhone.  Logged on to my iCloud account.    Told the iPhone to restore from iCloud backup.  I keep getting ""could not sign in" server error OK.  I get this messge over and over.

    I actually noticed when I had this problem just now that my iPhone 4 wasn't on wif. Only connected to 3G even though I entered my network info and clicked connect. So I backed up a few steps and re selected to connect to wifi and it fixed my issue!

  • HT204400 Apple TV  Could Not Sign In

    Could Not Sign In.   
    ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed  to find service connection URL.
    I get this message on my screen what's wrong
    But everything still seams to work except for this annoying message..?

    Try logging out of iTunes store, then logging back in.  If that fails, it's probably time to do
    "reset all"   If you search on the error here, you will find a couple of other things to try too.  Most seem not to work.
    After a reset all, you have to log back in (including any WiFi passwords and your iTunes account) and reset any custom user settings.  It's a real pain, but doable in less than 10 minutes.
    I had the same problem recently.  Apple thought it might be either a server problem (possibly one server, or one geographic area, I'm in upstate, NY), or possibly a corrupted firmware download.  They also suggested, if it happens again to do a restore over wired Ethernet, in case the last software revision (5.3) which I did over WiFi was corrupted.  Apparently it could be a bug in the new Ver. 5.3 too?
    It would be interesting to know if tens of us are having this problem, or hundreds, or even thousands of Apple TV users?
