HT1600 After 5.1.1 update, won't set date or time, just spins...help!

Apple TV not working after 5.1.1 update...did all the usual fixes...jus hangs on set date and time?

I've got exactly the same problem. Its very strange because I had to unplug my ethernet cable to update to 5.1.1 by wi-fi, but once restarted the wi-fi won't work anymore. I've now had to plug the ethernet cable back in to reach the network as it seems the upgrade has 'broken' the wi-fi. Like you I've tried rebooting the router, my airport express and,of course, the ATV. Every other piece of kit works fine via wi-fi (iPad; iPhone; Android mobile etc. etc. ). This is really annoying - can someone please help us?

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV. If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first. I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time). Then restart the Apple TV. See if that will get you through the activation process. I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
I understand your frustration, though. Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

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.

Default Email app not working after update on 5/3 on S4. It checks mail but never downloads anything. Last updated screen stuck on date and time just before update

After the last update, the default email app is not working as expected. It can send email but when it checks email, it never downloads any new messages. The last updated display at the top of the screen shows that the last successful update was on 5/3 just before the update took place. I will probably just download an email app and can this one but thought I would ask in case there is an easy fix.

On my S4, a little message "Master sync turned off" blinks at the bottom of the email app when I tried to manually sync.
On another thread, I discovered that you have to go into the settings toggle screen (swipe down from the top, hit the little four-square icon in the upper-right) and find "Sync". That has to be turned back on. For whatever reason, it was off on my phone after NC5 installed, and the email program needs it to be on. Was it always there? I don't know.
There is a separate sync setting that you can change inside the email app for each account... but they all cease functioning if the "Sync" is off. So make sure the main "Sync" is on, and maybe that will restore your email function. Good luck!

Won't set date and time

My atv2 recently stopped communicating with the Internet. All of my other devices work. I recently tried to set up a proxy ID and I think I messed up some settings any advice would be great. Thanks in advance

It's having an issue connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be set to automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router.

Won't set date/time - still....

I have a second generation Apple TV. I have never had a problem with it. Until today.
I've read through a.l the forums and looked through the net.
I just came in today and the only icons on the screen were computer and settings.
Have tried to restart, reset, and powered everything off and reset my router.
I've check the IP address and it is correct.
I tried the solution of pressing the remote menu button and the back arrow to get the broken chain - - it gave me the broken chain and I pushed the forward button and got the connected chain. - no difference.
If I try to restart or reset it gets to the activation screen and just spins and spins, then goes to set date and time and spins and spins. It will never go anywhere (left it while we went to Wal-Mart. If you hit menu on the remote it "skips" it. You can't troubleshoot or anything because it tells you that it cannot connect to the internet, or the itunes store, or to your computer, until you have set date and time.
I would appreciate any fixes anyone has for this. I have set up a $19.00 phone call with Apple for tomorrow night at 7 pm. Would love to have it fixed before I have to call them.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue. Seemed the apple tv broke.
The answer is the apple TV update to 5.1 messed it up. Here's the solution:
1. Download the previous version of your apple TV software here depending on your model:
Apple TV 2:
http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Apple TV 3:
http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
2. When I downloaded it, it came as a compressed ZIP file. You need to change its extension to IPSW. (just replace zip by ipsw, no need to uncompress its contents)
3. You will need a MicroUSB to USB cable, in order to connect your Apple TV to your PC in diagnostics mode. Once you get it connected, open iTunes.
4. Wait til you see Apple TV on devices. Once you see it click on it.
5. Press and Hold the "Shift" key (PC) and hit the button "Restore". That way, instead of searching Apple's servers, you'll select the local file you just downloaded.
6. Wait til is restored and a message pops telling you to unplug the USB cable, then do so. In my case The Apple TV kept blinking a while and couldn't power it off with the remote. Just unplug the power cord and replug it after 10 secs.
7. Turn on Apple TV, select language. It'll try activate it. In my case it couldn't connect through Ethernet to the server. I unplugged ethernet cable and went to Network settings and set the Wifi password of my network. Then Restarted on Settings->General.
8. After Restarting it activated itself and everything is working as before. Hope it works for everyone affected. Cheers!

Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

I have OSX 10.7.5. I loaded Powerschool, this sent me to oracle to load java 7, now powerschool won't laod, java 7 logo just spins. I contacted orgacle live help, said it was a mac problem that they could fix for $75. Any help would be wonderful. MT

Pearson put out a tech note on this today - the new versions of Java are what's causing the problem. If you can use Time Machine to rollback java prior to a java 7 or 1.6.0_37 version that will get you going again. I've been searching for hours for a place to download the older version but it seems Apple's site and Oracle all only have the latest release. Still trying to see if I have a copy downloaded on a system that hasn;t been updated to copy off to a network drive or usb and install the older version on to systems.
PowerSchool Tech Notes
PowerTeacher Gradebook and recent Mac OS X Java update
An update to Java for Mac OS X was released on October 16, 2012. An issue has been identified with this Java update (Java for OS X 2012-006) which prevents teachers from launching PowerTeacher Gradebook.
Teachers using PowerTeacher Gradebook should avoid taking this Java update to version 1.6.0_37 until notified that PowerTeacher Gradebook has been certified with this latest version of Java 1.6 for Mac OS X. PowerTeacher Gradebook will continue to work on Mac OS X workstations with Java version 1.6.0_35.
Additional communication will be provided once a workaround is identified or an updated version of PowerTeacher Gradebook is available.

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.

After a power outage Apple TV can't find date and time - just keeps spinning on that screen. Tried powering off Apple TV, the computer, and the router. Tried to restart Apple TV. Tried to restore Apple TV, but it got stuck again setting time/date.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Along with the things you have tried, some have had success setting the location to the US.

HT200197 my apple tv won't pass the setting date and time screen?

why won't my apple tv pass the setting date and time screen?

That indicates a network issue.
Check the DNS settings, they should be set to automatic.

Can't get my appletv to go pass setting date an time , and won't restore

My Apple TV won't restore or get passed the setting date an time
What c an I do or try ???

Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

After the latest Java Update, this is running all the time

Anyone know what JavaApplicationStub is, and why it's running all the time now? I noticed this after the last Java update from Apple, which mentioned downloading something from Oracle, which I never did. thx!

I have been experiencing this exact same problem ever since I upgraded.
In addtion to what Mflor describes as the problem that's occurring, I even experience this when I'm playing my iPod on my docking station through the AppleTV. It just stops midway through the first song and continues to do so after 5-7 plays and that's only if I'm patient enough to deal with it.
The message I get quickly once this occurs is that my AppleTV doesn't have an internet connection, but that message only appears for a quick second before it returns to the main AppleTV menu with ALL the options.
I've even tried rebooting the AppleTV and this still occurs.
