I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

HT1551 I am only showing Computers and Settings. Can't get back to Movies or any other media.

Only displays Computers and Settings icons. No media or other activities available.

sounds like the appletv does not have a working connection to the network
if you use wifi go in to the settings and choose your ssid and type in your password

It only shows computers and settings

Why does my Apple TV show sometimes only the computers and settings on the screen?

That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Ensure location is set correctly, DNS should be set to automatic. Make sure your router is up to date. If on wifi try ethernet.

Only Showing Computers and Settings?

Not fun for the last few weeks in trying to use a number of Apple TV's. Upgrading to 5.2.1 resulted in 2 units
reduced to "Computers" and "Settings" only. A unit that had 5.1 (I skipped upgrade) seemed to work fine ....
so I assumed backend services were OK. Finally got all units working and upgraded to 5.2.1.
In wrestling with my Comcast cable modem (Arris TG852G) configuration there seemed to assignment
of the same ip address to multible devices, one being an Apple TV. After cleaning up this issue and
assingning reserved ip addresses to the Apple TV units. They are working fine and have been stable
for several days.
I'll update this discussion in a few weeks if things remain stable or sooner if the problems return.

Well ..... it has been about 2 weeks and everything has been working fine. All 3 Apple TV's have
been used several times with no issue.
I have also changed my config so that the Comcast modem no longer provides DHCP for any
device that connects with WIFI. Config'd modem to only supply ip addr's 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.9
and config's Apple Time Capsule to supply 10.0.0.10 onward. I never gained convidence that
the modem handled DHCP and reservations reliably. I have confidence in the Apple TC.
My take away is: when setting Apple TV be sure IP addr space is clean.

I have not used an e-Mail for an Apple ID, but it is showing that I did, how do I delete the other one?

The Header describes my question, but is ther some way to recover it not by e-Mail becasue it's not going through and I don't know the birth year that was put down?
Thanks!

Delete those apps that are not under your Apple ID and re-download them using your Apple ID.

My Cellular Page only shows Facetime and Passbook. how do I get my other apps back on that page.

So I accidently pressed the Reset Statistics in the cellular page and it took away all of my apps. Now all of my apps that were on that page have disappeared. How do i get these apps back on that page because i need to control my data usage. Please help.

Nastyassink-
Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter. You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter. You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash. (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera. Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer. (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

Was it bought in an Apple store, as there is no product page for Apple TV in your location? If it was bought through another store make sure it was an authorized seller.
There are no apps stored on the device (except Computers and Settings), they are fed through a server and will differ depending on region. For example, there are many that are US only and some require connection to a cable provider. To change accounts and access another region you would need a valid address and credit card.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it. How can I stop or change this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers and Settings as options

My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers, and Settings as options. Does anyone know where the Television and Movies went. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I want my MLB and Netflix!

I had the loss of Internet after updating to 5.0.
Only Computers and Settings are available.
I tried through Ethernet cable, manual settings of the IP addresses etc. but no result. still only Computers and settings.
It communicates with internet for Home sharing etc. Checking the network through ATV is happening. Only problem is "internet " option is not visible.
I have not changed any settongs in the wifi router during this process. The same ATV was working with all 3 options before update. will the update do any changes to WIFI Router in blocking DNS etc?
Any advice will be ok.

When I try to update my iTunes, it tells me that I have the latest version, but I only have 10.6.3 - how can I override this?

I'm sorry but your post seems vague as to exactly what version of what you are running, therefore, it comes as a surprise that you mention that "it" won't let you update iTunes. Did you run Software Update or try updating from within iTunes?
If you are running a Mac under Mac OS X 10.6.3, then if you should be able to update that by using System Update to version 10.6.8 - first and foremost.
Then, assuming you can run Mac OS X 10.6.8; I would think that you can (secondarily) update iTunes to Version 10.7 or Ver. 11.0.5.; IMHO 10.7 is better as it has Coverflow. Nonetheless...

i have choosen erase all content option on my iphone 4s but its only showing a small clock rotating, can u tell me how much time will it take.

Let it do the rotating thing for about 10-15 min. If it is still doing this, try wiping the phone in iTunes.

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?
