HT204291 whenever i turn on apple tv the screen just shows 'setting date and time'

i also get an error code 200500 on my macbook when i try using airplay

It sounds like there's a problem with either the software or hardware of your AppleTV.  Try unplugging AppleTV for at least 15 seconds, then plugging it back in. If AppleTV still does not work as expected, try the troubleshooting and restore process outlined in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367.

  • Trying to connect apple tv brand new and the screen says 'activating' setting date and time indefinately

    just trying to connect to apple tv for the first time and the screen just stays at 'activating' setting time and date and wont let me sign in to itunes sharing until the date and time thing is fulfilled.  any thoughts on troubleshooting this issue?  thanks

    Hi I had same problems and couldn't understand most of the solutions on offer as I'm a bit of a Luddite. The problem seems to be getting ATV to register your network time and date details following the upgrade of software. I use a wireless connection at home and my firewall was blocking the ATV from obtaining this information. Instead of changing router settings, firmware etc (which is beyond me) I solved it this way:
    1. Rather than use my existing wireless connection I connected the ATV to my iPhone personal hotspot (iPhone has 3G connection). It may be another network could also be effective.
    2. ATV connected via the iPhone no problem apparently got the network time and date settings ok.
    3. The previous ATV functionality was restored.
    3. I then disconnected from my iPhone hotspot and re-connected to my main wireless connection. All worked fine.
    It seems what you need to do is side-step the router firewall problem. Hope it works for others.

  • Why is the screen from my Apple TV doesn't go past setting date and time and the screen stays black

    My Apple TV screen turns on black and stays on setting date and time a few seconds after that it stays black but on light is still on and nothing else happens,I can't get it to do anything else!I just moved and have a new router and I think that might be the reason but I don't know! Please help!!!!

    I have the same issue and seeking an answer...
    I have already reset my ATV3 to factory defaults twice and connected it directly to the router, but the problem remains the same... BTW, I connected it to the two routers of two different networks I have at home... It reacts the same to both nw....
    Any ideas?

  • I plug the Apple TV in and it just says setting date and time.

    When I plug the Apple TV in it just starts up setting date and time. Tried unplugging  it and resetting using the remote but it is unresponsive

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • My Mac Apple Pro laptop is getting old - anyway, when I turn it on now, the screen just lights up white - and nothing is happening.  A few days ago, I had a screen with a flashing question mark, but now just blank white. what to do/how to fix it?

    My Mac pro notebook laptop - when i turn it on, it's just a lit up white screen - and nothing else is happening - it's just frozen. how do i fix it?

    You may try the procedures in this support article.  I suspect a trip to the Apple genius bar will be the best option.  You probably have some hardware issues, such as the display or the GPU and the technicians will be to make to make a definitive determination.

  • 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.

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

  • Having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation

    having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation

    That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. Go to settings - general - network and ensure DNS is set to automatic. Check that your router is up to date. If on wifi try Ethernet.

  • Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs.  Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?  Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

    Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments?  Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments.  If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up.  Perhaps stary here...

  • 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)

  • 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.
