  • Apple TV3 can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later

    Just got an ATV3 and it is not able to work.  I keep getting this "Apple TV3 can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later." when I try to set it up home sharing.  Any thoughts?

    THIS WORKS!
    "This worked for me without having to reset my Apple TV universe: Press Menu and Down Arrow keys simultaneously for 6 seconds until the light flashes rapidly."
    Thank you!

  • TS3623 If the screen says Unable to Sign in-Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.  I've been getting this reading for about a week

    My screen has been reading for about a week: Unable to Sign In, Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time.  Please try later.  What do I do to get pass this screen.  I purchased a movie series season from HBO and I can't watch it because I can't pass this screen.

    Hi Kailik Hunter,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if you're unable to sign in to your Apple TV and continue with setup:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If you are still having trouble, you can try to reset your equipment by unplugging Apple TV, your television, your wireless networking equipment or AirPort Base Station, and your router from their power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, then plug everything back in.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • "apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later."

    anybody else getting this error on apple tv after upgrading? 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'
    • I was happily watching all itunes media on my apple tv but then apple tv asked me to upgrade.
    • I upgraded.
    • Now it can't connect to any menus related to the itunes store.
    • I verified I have the latest upgrade to itunes.
    • Homesharing is turned on.
    • I have restarted apple tv numerous times.
    • I CAN'T watch or listen to itunes 'movies', 'tv shows', 'music', 'podcasts'  via apple tv.
    • I CAN watch netflix, youtube, movies on my mac, itunes radio.
    • I CAN connect to the itunes store via my mac.
    • I get this error on apple tv 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'

    Lets be frank:  this is an internal server communication issue at Apple that they don't want to fix or acknowledge.    This "unable to sign in" or unable to communicate issues are all about purchase validation ONLY.  That is where it hangs up.   For example, I can see favorites but it won't access my list of purchased items.     And yet - the only advice they have is reboot?
    The same issue happens when trying to watch Netflix on ATV.   It can't connect to the Netflix server but gosh golly gee, I switch to my Roku box and no problem.   Unfortunately for Apple, while I'm over there I'm starting to to buy movies and shows from Amazon
    Apple doesn't make it's money from the $99 Apple TV sale - it's the iTunes purchases.   If we want them to listen we need to interrupt that revenue stream.

  • When I try to buy a movie from my Apple TV it can't connect to the server at this time. Any ideas?

    When I try to buy a movie from AppleTV it can't connect to the server. Any ideas?

    No other good ideas ... since your signature block above says you're running iOS 5.1.1.
    I assume you have a reasonable connection.

  • Can't connect to the server at this time. OR ANY TIME!

    Apple TV can never connect to the sever! Why is iTunes sever constantly DOWN? ANNOYING!

    I have had this issue in the past but it usually cleared up on it's own soon after. This time it's been stuck in this "Can't connect to server" mode for days. I couldn't even go to settings to attempt to reset.
    I finaly solved this issue by simply DISCONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY AND THE HDMI CORD!!!
    Wait a few seconds (10 is good) and then reconnect the unit. BOOM!!! There it is!!
    I hope this works for everyone. :-)

  • I'm continually seeing "unable to sign in: can't connect to the server at this time" ...

    whenever i try to view any of my purchased tv/movies or even try to purchase something new  ... all despite being able to view trailers, youtube etc- so I know my wifi is OK.  And I can purchase from iTunes on other devices so I know my account is OK.  Any ideas?

    Hello Geoff,
    I recommend power cycling your Apple TV using the on screen menu to see if that would help:
    Restarting your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) using the onscreen menu
    If you have Apple TV software 5.0 or later installed, you can restart your Apple TV using the onscreen menu. To restart your Apple TV choose Settings > General > Restart.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Apple Tv is telling me it can not connect to the server. How do I fix that?

    I changed my apple id and after I did, now my apple tv says it can not connect to the server when I try to view my purchases. Hulu and netflix work so the internet is working fine.  My phone and ipad also work fine with the new id.  Does anyone know how to make my apple tv purchases come back?

    Power cycle the router and the ATV.
    If the issue continues on the ATV go to Settings > General > Reset

  • Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

    I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
    Below is a summary of the issue:
    After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
        "Cannot connect to the server at this time.  You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
        "Unable to retrieve all data."
        The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
    Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
    Other Observations   -  
    This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
    Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
    I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
    It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
    I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

    I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
    I am sharing my finding.
    1. First install the
    KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
    2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
    These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

    i bought itunes match yesterday and i can not connect with the server. Error 4010 appear every tiem when i want to entry on itunes match.
    Thanks

    Here are some things to try:
    Close itunes
    Check your internet settings.
    Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
    Check SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
    Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
    Click Apply
    Click Okay
    Open itunes and try again
    And, you don't need to turn off the firewall, just add itunes and itunes helper to your security software firewall.

  • I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    Whenever I log into icloud.com
    Using what version of which browser?
    iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
    If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
    For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
    You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
    Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
    Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
    The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?
