I can log into iTunes on my iMac but it won accept the ID and PW on the Apple TV, why?'t

I'm new to this also. I can log into iTunes on my imac but the same ID and PW will not allow me to get on through Apple TV. Why?

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

I can log into iTunes and App Store but NOT iMessage. What gives?

I'm currently using Wifi with my 3rd gen iPad. iOS 6.0.1. I'm not home so I don't have access to my iMac (actually currently at 30k ft somewhere over Virginia :) ).
Anyway, I can log into iTunes, access the App Store, sign out of those, log back in. No prob. I used my appleID and pass to write this message. But I cannot get into Imessage, and I can't figure it out!
I get an error saying: "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." If I try to make a new appleID, imessage thinks and thinks...nothing happens.
This isn't a new issue, it's been like this for quite a while, since upgrading to iOS 6 months ago. How can I get into imessage on my ipad? For what it's worth, it works fine on my iPhone.
Would appreciate any help!

I can't log in to game centre but I can log into iTunes. I recently changed my password. I checked the troubleshooter and am getting the message regarding server error but how do I fix this? It doesn't specify this in that article. I don't have firewalls

IPhone 4 app store shows incorrect apple id when I attempt to download updates. I can log into iTunes ok as it shows the correct ID

iPhone 4 app store shows incorrect apple id when I attempt to download updates. I can log into iTunes ok as it shows the correct ID. How to I change the ID in the ID/password dialog box.

Sorry, but didn't see anything there that would help me precisely. Thanks for your input. my apple ID is my email address which ends in .net. My apple ID listed on the app update ends in .com. I've confirmed in the settings/store area and it's correct there. I'm still at a loss.

Trying to download and keep getting message saying my Apple ID has been disabled but I can log into store, etc... I went to the support site buit no help. I emailed but said would take 2-4 days for response. I just wanna listen to my music!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.

I can hook to Internet. I can go to iTunes and buy stuff. I can do everything except update aps. I get a message that says cannot access iTunes store after I put in my Password to update anything. The same password works when I go direct to iTunes store for a purchase. Can I reload just the ap store ap?

Are you using an iPhone or iPad?

After installing iTunes update I couldn't get into iTunes so I uninstalled but when I try to reinstall and click download now it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

After installing the latest iTunes upgrade I could not access my iTunes so I uninstalled it and all of it's components like instructed in support but when I try to reinstall and click on download now, it goes right to thank you for downloading iTunes but nothing downloaded.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

My computer crashed and I cannot get to my itunes. Anyway I can log into it from another computer? I have an iphone now and want my music on it.

Help! I lost my itunes music. My computer crashed. I want to move to another computer to get to my iphone. I just bought one. Love it.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Error 310 when logging into iTunes Store and app Store

Hi,
I just bought AppleTV. It allows me to log into the iTunes store through my wireless connection. However, I can't connect to iTunes store through my MacBook. I keep getting 'Unknown error 310'. However, I CAN log into iTunes store through my PC which is connected by ethernet cable. Does anyone know how I can fix this with my MacBook?

This is probably due to a connection error.
I fixed this by navigating this route:
Control Centre > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Untick proxy server box (if ticked).
Hope this solved your problem!
