My ATV keeps telling me... "an error occured loading this content" I have tried playing this movie i downladed for 2 days how long will it take? Why after resetting the ATV is it still not working...?
Did you try unplugging the power cord for a few seconds, then plugging it back in? That usually fixes similar problems for me.

I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating. I've double checked all the settings but still can't sign in. Any sugestions?
Try this - sign out of your Apple ID and reboot the iPad, then try all over again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
After the iPad starts up, go back to the settings for Messages and FaceTime and your Apple ID, and sign into all three again.
Sign into Settings>Store first -
I keep getting the "An error occurred loading this content" message
How do I fix the "An error occurred loading this content" message?
ATV2 with latest October 2014 update.
Same problem here as well. Downloaded an update back in August because it was forcing it down my throat. Ever since then I've been having the same problem over and over. I downloaded the most recent update (October 2014) and the issue was not fixed. I've restarted, rebooted, waited, downloaded most recent software, done 42 headstands, gone to counseling and still no changes. I don't have cable but watch Netflixx and Youtube on my ATV for entertainment. Netflixx and Youtube are not issues on my phone or computer. I believe this is an ATV issue.
Come on Apple, whats going on with you guys recently? Your quality in products is declining, people are starting to buy other than Apple products, and it doesn't seem like you guys really care for the consumer. I've been a die hard Apple guy owning iphone, macbook, and ATV but strongly considering switching. Calling the Apple gurus who know things about stuff. CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ME AS A CUSTOMER????????
Has anyone successfully fixed their ATV issue? -
When I open my airport utility it detects the time capsule, but when I set everything up (name, choose the internet connection, etc) it takes a minutes, says waiting for time capsule... And then "an unexpected error occured, please try again". I tried 10 times, the same thing keeps happening... On top of that the orange light keeps blinking as soon as i turn it on. Tried to reset it also. Doesn't change a thing...
Sorry you have had such a bad first impression..
Is the ipv6 turned on? This was an after thought as they seem to have released both firmware and utility and woken up after the event to the fact they actually needed ipv6 on to manage it.

Otherwise I don't see what you are using to connect to the TC from the iMac.. is it wired or wireless??
Can I suggest you do the setup again.
This time use ethernet to the TC.. in full isolation from the network. And do the setup manually.
You may need to factory reset again.. sorry about that .. and start over.. only the Mac plugged into the TC.. nothing else.
You may need further help just post where you get up to and we can sort out what is happening from there.
This often works easier at the start from the airport utility in iphone or ipad if you have one. -
When I try to download the new update iOS7 when I get to like 20 something minutes it stops and reads and error occurred and quits downloading. I have tried at least 5 times. I have plugged it in to the charger to keep the battery from dying but still the same error. Please help.
This can happen if the server is really busy, I had to retry 4-5 times until it finally worked. Just keep at it, you'll get there in the end, but yeah, it would be good to know what the error actually says

I have the same problem I use a BT home hub the old white one and a iPad 4 if I reboot the hub it works ok for pics and some I player content then when I try to load a certain program it crashes and I need to reboot the hub again. Is this a problem with the hub?

Any ideas
I'm seeing the same and I agree, it's very annoying. You can at least get around it in both situations by turning on Mirroring from the Airplay menu (after double-tapping the Home button). Hopefully the iPlayer app will be updated soon to fix this. I'm assuming it's an oversight at the moment.

Apple TV 3 Radio "An error occured loading the content"
message comes every 10-12 minutes on radio. also not able to listen to Itunes Festival as no sound picture ok.. Used to be there but no more.
However smart I may think I am I hit the success tick mark by mistake... sorry
Hello there: I have had macs since the Apple II and have been around.. thank you for your reply and suggestion. I have tried that several times. I fact many others on the apple community have had exactly the same problem. No satisfaction for any one that I can see.... well it just stopped again...
tried wifi changes, location changes, etc..... worked fine just before the new update...... for the first time in my life I had let apple do an auto update. Normally I wait 2-3 months before I update any of my macs, iphones, ipads and will now do the same for apple TV.
thank you.....
any other suggestions will still be welcome and I will try them all somewhere out there must be a solution... apple where is the update with a fix.....???????
ps do you know anyone who have succeeded fixing this issue with your suggestion of a basic restart?? -
S telling me an error occurred during activation.
Facetime keeps telling me an error occurred during activation? I re-entered all my info still does it.
My daughters had the same problem with both of their iPod Touches. One logged back into iMessage and FaceTime, the other consistently would not login with the same error, "An error occurred during activation. Try again."
Check your date and time. Its likely incorrect. Once the date is corrected. Restart the device.
For what ever reason, some devices lose track of the date. In my case, apparently, my daughters change the date to affect a particular game by advancing the date. Little cheaters. (LOL)
Hope this helps! -
I have an Airport Extreme, the light is only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again." I've tried my iphone 4 with the same result. I've tried the utilty on my pc and same result. The airport is producing a great wireless signal and working to all devices. I really just want to get in and set the password.

I have reset several times with no success.
When you did those resets, did you continue to hold in the reset button until the status light blinked several times? If you didn't, then you didn't do a full reset.
Here's what I do to reset an AirPort base station: I unplug it, press in the reset button, then, while continuing to hold in the reset button, I plug it in. (Yes, doing this can be easier for people with more than two hands!) I then watch the status light and wait until it flashes rapidly several times.
I have a Time Capsule that I couldn't configure at one point. To recover from that I had to unplug it for many hours. You might try unplugging your unit overnight.
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your original message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that. -
Airplay from ipad 1 gen to ATV 3 gen "an error occurred loading this content try again later"
Hi everyone!,
I just bought a new Apple tv 3 gen which is great.
My situation is the next. I have an add hoc wifi which obviously cant connect with my ATV cause ATV doesnt have browser to set user password. This connection is not quite fast, so problem added to the previous. The thing is that I want to use my ipad 1 gen to airplay content to the apple tv. It works great with pictures and even music (my own library or spotify streamed music).
The problem comes when I try to airplay video from youtube or embedded video from safari so it keeps saying "an error occurred loading this content try again later".
I tried with my iphone 6 and with an iphone 5 and the same, no video from youtube nor web.
If I try to airplay a video that is inside my phone, it works flawlessly.
the specs say that you need at least 6mb connection, but that seems to stream directly from the ATV cause ATV doesn't have hd to store data, but my ipad streams it and plays it like a charm, but when I airplay to the apple tv got the problem.
I also can stream video from my old mac mini through the network using airparrot but it doesn't allow me to send audio, seems to be problems sending audio and video while streaming..
Any help?
does anyone solved it?
thanks in an advance!Two problems seems to be causing this:
1- My poor download connection. Testing its speed barely reaches 1.5 download speed, though it's enough to stream movies with ipad, or computers.
2- the router I have connected to my antenna to create my own network. it is a normal 150 mbps tp-link range extender which is used to create a wifi. This 150 mbps might be much more than a half.
I have tried with a 300 mbps router and now I don´t get the error, but it seems that streaming with my ipad and airplay to the apple tv overloads the network and it loads quite slow in my atv. -

I cannot sign in FaceTime , it keeps on saying an error occurred during activation, please sign in again
Hey!
I too was facing the same problem but have found a solution for it. The problem is most likely because of the 'Date & Time' setting. Change to setting to 'Set Automatically' and then try reconnecting to facetime/imessage.
Hope this helps you as it did to me. -
I am unable to play a rented movie on my ATV 2. I get: An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. My ISP has the TCP 80 port blocked but the TCP 443 port open. My first gen. Apple TV is OK.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I doubt port 80 is blocked, that port is used for http, which you might recognise as the basis for the world wide web.
The message you get can be as a result of an extremely slow Internet connection, you can test your connection speed using speednet.com, however more commonly it's a simple error that can be corrected by unplugging and restarting the Apple TV and/or restarting the router.
