I am not able to sign in. I am getting a message saying Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.
I use the same Apple ID and password as I do with iTunes and have no problems accessing that.
Can someone help me?

Unpower it.  If it still  happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

    Have tried all resets...no change.  All signs indicate good internet connectivity.

    Well if you have reset everything did you re-enter all the login information?  If not then it will not be able to login.

  • My Apple TV has a message" can't connect to server at this time. Try later". I am trying to watch a movie. What do I do?

    Did you possibly "try again 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.

  • 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:

    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,

    Screen says unable to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.  It has said this since last night

    I was running into the same issue for the past few days and decided... Heck, just try the old fashioned way and unplug the thing.  Boom.  Fixed it.  Try unplugging it and doing the old reset and see how that goes.
    Good luck!

    thanks

    I imagine millions upon millions of people are attempting to download and install it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + a few million more.

  • TS1424 When trying to purchase and subsequently play programs on Apple TV keep getting message: "Apple TV unable to connect to server at this time. Please try again later." Able to play previews and trailers on Apple TV and able to play programs on Netfli

    Last night I was watching programs on Apple TV with only one problem: I was not able to purchase the entire season of "Homeland" but could purchase and watch individual episodes. Today I am able to watch only previews and trailers from iTunes. After attempting to purchase a program I keep getting the message: "Apple TV is. Unable to connect to the server at this time. Please try again later." I am able to watch programs on Hulu, Netflix, etc. without problems.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

  • Apple Tv can't connect to server at this time

    what can I try if apple TV won't connect to the server?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.
