Apple Tv is telling me it can not connect to the server. How do I fix that?

I changed my apple id and after I did, now my apple tv says it can not connect to the server when I try to view my purchases. Hulu and netflix work so the internet is working fine. My phone and ipad also work fine with the new id. Does anyone know how to make my apple tv purchases come back?

Power cycle the router and the ATV.
If the issue continues on the ATV go to Settings > General > Reset

when try to get mail it says "canot get mail, the connection to ther server failed", how do I fix this issue?

Check your username, password and account settings for that email account.
If they all look right, then try deleting the account, and re-adding it.

Hi NancyCarol,
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be having an issue connecting to the Internet in general from your iPad. If you usually connect via WiFi, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

If your iPad is also a cellular model, then this article may also be useful (it is primarily aimed at iPhones, but the steps should apply to the cellular model iPads as well):

FTP transfer failed with message 'connection to the server failed'

Hello,
I downloaded the CCE client response gallery from The Turning Gate but every time a create a new web gallery and try to upload i get the above message. I've checked my settings several times and they are correct. I've ebb follows an online tutorial on how to upload a web gallery and my settings are correct, so if anyone can help I would be very grateful?
Regards

Yes I've tried different galleries
So, the problem is NOT unique to the specific server you are trying to connect to? In other words, you have tried different servers, with different credentials, and can't connect to any of them? Is that correct?
Can Lr connect to the internet in the map module?
In other words, unless somebody comes along who has the answer, or re-installing helps.., it seems worthwhile to isolate the problem, is it:
* Lightroom/plugins can't connect to the internet?
* FTP is broken?
* FTP to a specific server is broken?
Or did I misunderstand, and you've only tried FTP to one server? - if so, it could be that there was some change at the server end, like it now requires a different port or something..
If you want to try another server, you can get a free account at Flickr, for example, and try to upload via FTP..

HT5502 My iPhone won't let me update my software, it says I am not connected to the internet! How do I fix that?

Someone please help me out!

likely in the settings of your wifi router
you can troubleshoot by trying to connect it by an ethernet cable to see if that works for you before
you get deep in trying to make your wifi router behave

re: iphone 4 cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed
how do I fix this? thx

Thank you for your quick reply.
The easiest thing for me to do was delete the account on my phone and then add it again.
Thankfully it solved my problem.
I had just updated my phone and my internet service which is why I believe there was a problem.

Hotmail iphone connection to the server failed

Still no definitive answer for all circomstances on this issue : "hotmail iphone connection to the server failed"
Situation:
iPhone 5 iOS 6 updated
Mail setup for Hotmail using MS Exchange preset to see Hotmail folders
Setting worked ok for a week
Set to gather all mail, not just last 3 days, weeks, months.
Yesterday the problem started, Mail won't connect.
It's not a firewall problem, I tried on 3G and LTE connection with WFI off.
I also tried a Yahoo preset and it work. Also Safari works fine.
I deleted the account, shutdown iPhone, restarted, created new account
Trial 1:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click HOTMAIL preset
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
Trial 2:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click MS EXCHANGE preset
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
Trial 3:
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Add account
Click OTHER
Click Add Mail Account
Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
Switch off the phone and switch it back on
Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop
Used m.hotmail.com on server field. It offered the extensive setup like on Mail for mac with SMTP, SSL, etc.. which only knew to use m.hotmail.com on server, but instead the menu offer the typical incoming and outgoing server name. Still failed.
The setting were set to these setting by default and it worked: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/hotmail/send-receive-email-from-mail-client
But I don't want to set it to a POP account, I want a IMAP type setting.
So bottom line, the preset MS Exchange and Hotmail on iOS 6 won't work anymore. Why not when they worked for a while until yesterday ?
Nothing changes on iPhone setting.
Thanks for your input.

Has anyone called Apple support on this issue or is this strictly a Hotmail issue?
Also, just to make sure I'm understanding that my problem is "normal" for what others are encountering:
I set up my hotmail account and it wont work, I try to do it thru "Other Email" and it doesnt push the emails to my phone, I can get the emails (at times) but I have to fetch them. Otherwise I cannot send or recieve any emails by setting it up thru the Hotmail or Microsoft Exchange accounts.
Is this what everyone seems to be encountering?
New to the "forums" but this problem is really becoming a nuisance!!!

Connection to the server failed appears when synching email through Microsoft Exchange.

The message, 'Connection to the server failed', appears when synching Groupwise email through Microsoft Exchange on my IPhone 4S. A long string of numbers and letters appears where INBOX should be. The downloading 'wheel' keeps spinning, and the battery is drained quickly as a result. I also get numerous no sender emails with the date 12/31/69 that cannot be deleted. Calendars also are not synching.The exact same settings work for my IPad2. The server works for other IPhone users. It is very strange and frustrating.

What device does your husband have? What email server does he use?
All I can tell you is what Microsoft is saying right now.
If any other email systems (like gmail, yahoo) work on your device, odds are that your device is fine.

Connection to the server failed?? Please help

Mail is not showing at all and the message 'connection to the server failed' appears. There are no contacts showing and calendar is empty! I've tried to reset, even reset fully, losing all data but still the same. Can this be fixed or is it a fault?

HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through. It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed."

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Talk to your IT department...
Or if you're at University, talk to the computer team.
Most Uni's are using outlook.com as the server connection not mail.youruniversity.edu

Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation. When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.
