HT1551 why wont my apple TV set the network time?

its been "thinking" for ever now. it gives me an option to go to general/network but from there there is no way to et up the network time. i cannot do anything and it wont recognize my correct username or assword until the network time is set.
please help me get out of this loop!

Chances are it's not seing the internet at all - normally menu key should get you out of this in order to configure wifi settings.
Ethernet should not require any setup, but an ethernet connection used to disable wifi (even a lead connected to AppleTV and not to a network point), though that may have changed.

  • HT1595 What do you do if the Apple TV cannot set the network time automatically?

    What do you do to set the network time so Apple TV can set up the Apple account?

    Hold down the shift key at reboot, see if that gets you in, if it does then start at #7

  • How can i set the network time on my appleTV?

    Since the last update I have been unable to use my Appletv.  It says it can't get the network time.  I've restarted my router and unplugged the appleTV numerous times.  I've heard others have this problem too.  What is the solution?

    Log into your iCloud account on your computer, then click your user name in the right top then click on the time zone in the popup window.

  • Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

    Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    why wont it show me on the map where my phone was last located? and can am i able to bring it up?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • Why wont my apple ipad 1st generation wont charge unless fully dead

    why wont my apple ipad charge until its fully dead?

    I would guess it is charging but perhaps not showing that it's doing so.
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
    P

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

    i put money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

    If you still have your old card listed on your account then try selecting the 'none' option and remove it and then try entering the card's details from scratch. If that doesn't work then what is the full error message that you are getting, and the card is registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing) that you have on your iTunes account ?

  • Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

  • I get the message  on Apple TV "setting date and time"

    I get the message  on Apple TV "setting date and time", but seems to be stuck in that action. When I check, network settings, everything seems OK.  Any suggestions?

    This will normally happen if you continually turn the AppleTV off at the wall (happens each time you turn it on). If its stuck on that, just turn it completely off, then see if it gets stuck on that again. If it keeps getting stuck (as in for more than 5 minutes) on it, plug it into your computer and attempt to update the AppleTV. You may need to restore it if the software is already up to date or it's still not working after the update.
