I have an apple tv that wont stream video and wont automatically set date and time

Would like help setting up apple tv
I can stream netlix with no issue with my  iPad and on both a notebook PC and desktop
The apple TV says its connnected to the internet when I check internet settings however it will not set the date and time upon initial power up and I cannot view any internet content

This sounds like a port issue. Somebody (possibly wjosten) posted a list of ports that need to be open in order for the ATV to work correctly.
Check your router set up and see if there are any services that are open for your iPad but blocked for the ATV

  • I have an apple ID that I can't get to stop popping up and the 'forgot password' option doesn't work!  FRUSTRATED with iTunes

    I go into the old email account (that I don't use anymore) to see if it sends me a new password and it hasn't but I have it listed as the primary email/Apple ID for an account and I can't remember the password for it, but I can't get a new one.  SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED.  Why can't I merge accounts and drop an old user name.  Help!!

    You cannot run Mac OS X on a Windows machine. You need a Mac to run Mac OS.

  • 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?

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge as one.

    I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge.  One is a hotmail address and the other a gmail address as primary addresses in the two accounts. I would like to merge them into one account.  I cannot verify the addresses of either accounts because when I do it will say that the address already exists.  Therefore I can't get them to merge.
    Also...
    Me.com and hotmail are under the same account., but when I log into me.com some of the accounts turn into the hotmail account.  I do not use hotmail anymore and use gmail regularly.
    Any insight to these problems would be appreciated.

    If these are both used as Apple IDs, then they cannot be merged. If they are just two email accounts of which you only wish to use one, then you would need to transfer the data you want to save from one to the other. Since the data are just email you would need to look for a way to export it from one email address as a file compatible with what the other can import.

  • HT204053 I have an apple ID that I want to use it for icloud, but when I Set it, i got below message

    I have an apple ID that I want to use it for icloud, but when I Set it, i got below message
    I could requires an apple id that Is an email address ( [email protected] address )
    Please help me

    Your gmail address is still your apple id. Just when you activate your mail and notes, it asks you to create icloud e-mail, which is completely separate and allows you to have one more e-mail address. Just some extra benefit, you don't have to pay for, but useful to save your notes and send e-mail or two if Google server goes down.

  • We have an Apple id that has a bunch of purchased music on it, but our children have changed the account details and the password, and the secret questions and now we can't remember any of that information, even our birthdays are not correct. HELP???

    we have an apple ID that was set up in my wife's name. The kids have changed the account details and no-one can remember the password. They have also changed the account data and none of our birthdays are recognised by apple. We have no way of re-setting the account. The secondary email address we used when setting up the account is no longer accessible so even this option doesnt work..
    What can we do as we have a large amount of purchased music on this account???

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

    I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

    There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections.   Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function.   Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
    Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care.   If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.

  • If i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?

    if i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?
    i havent used my computer in two years. in that time i recently got a iphone4s and started another apple id.
    i just set up my computer and my itunes on my computer has a different id. is it possible to merge these as one? the itunes on my computer has a no longer working email as well.
    so if i go to change the info on that to my current email it obviously wont let me because it is registered to "someone" else... ME..
    so is there any way to make the one on my computer the current one i have on my phone so i dont loose ALL my music from my computer??

    Sorry, but Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can, however, use more than one Apple ID/iTunes Store account on your computer and hence on your iPhone. If you've forgetten the password to your older ID, see:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    once you get in, you can change the email address associated with that ID so that receipts and such are emailed to a current address.
    Regards.

  • HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time.  it also does not interact with the remote.  Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

    I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV.  I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV.  It attempts to set date and time and cannot.  I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also.  Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

    Hi kybriar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot the remote itself:

    Power off your TV, wait five seconds, then power it back on.
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionshttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
    Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
    Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
    If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
    Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
    If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.
    Cheers,
