When I confirm my WiFi for connection to my Apple TV it says that I have used the wrong password and to "try again (-3900)" but when I try again I am offered no page to input password.

BT HomeHub wifi network dropping connection with my apple products
I have a BT Home Hub connected to the internet and use it to provide my home wi-fi network. To this I have connected iMac, Time capsule (by having it join existing network), airport express, apple Tv and cannon wireless printer)
Time machine backyps to timecapsule via wifi. However None of my devices seem to remain connected to the wifi for very long. If I open airport utility it states time capsule and airport express no longer connected to the network and only offer the option of forgetting device even though green light remains on time capsule and airport express. If I go into Home Hub settings via ip address on safari, it is showing that both are connected.
With regard to my apple TV that doesn't seem to be able to share the content on my iMac because of home sharing connectivity issues.
Finally my iMac seems unable to connect to my wifi printer over the network even thoough all seem to be connected to homeHub appropriately.
Can anyone help out with this?This setup is the worst possible.
You will always have issues with the TC .. it will be slow and unreliable because that is the nature of double hop wireless.
You MUST plug the TC into the HH by ethernet or using something like EOP adapters so the TC can work properly in bridge mode and create a wireless network. -
Outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks
Although my outgoing mail goes out just fine on cellular networks, and on my home wifi, outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks.
I use the apple outgoing mail server.
What is unusual however is that my outgoing mail address is not from a standard domain. I have my own.
Could it involve an spr record?Do you have a wireless network at home and Is the email account provided by your internet service provider associated with your wireless network?
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies when connected to the internet via the cellular network. Recieving is not a problem regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time.
If the email account is provided by your ISP, most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP sever for the email account they provide.
Both my email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless the ISP associated with a wi-fi network I'm connected to at the time or when connected to AT&T's cellular network - for 2+ years aporoaching 3 years this July. -
My ipad 2 from verizon will not join my wifi network!
I just got a new iPad 2 and it won't connect to my home wifi network. My husband just got a iPhone and we got his connected with no trouble,but mine keeps saying unable to join network. I have a pc connected and have no problem. My daughter was not able to get her Mac connected when she was here last either. Any ideas? I really don't want to pay for Internet at home through Verizon!
One other easy thing to try is to just restart your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. Then hold the sleep button until the Apple log appears to power up. Then try again. And another obvious thing that you don't want to overlook is make sure you entered the correct password for your network.
Rather than just keep posting back and forth here are any number of things that you can try in these two support articles. Go through them and if you still can't connect then post back and maybe someone can offer help.

I have a 3rd generation Apple TV that I am convinced to be one of the defective ones which Apple is replacing since they will not read a Wifi network (more on this below). I live in a very remote country at the moment as well so going to an Apple Store is not an option. I would like to try and get this replaced but it seems the only way I can talk to someone at Apple is to buy a one-time service plan for $19.99. Does anyone know if I can confirm in some other way that my Apple TV is indeed defective and initiate the replacement process? (or to confirm that it is not covered and that my problem is elsewhere). I've seen some screenshots with serial numbers that are covered but I don't see on those threads how to request the replacement.
To ensure my Apple TV is indeed defective I have followed all the guidance in dozens of threads on this forum including: (1) reset, restored, and restarted Apple TV dozens of times (2) updated Apple TV software via a USB connection to iTunes (3) ensured my home network has disabled MAC filtering (4) updated my router's firmware (5) ensured iPhone, iPad, other devices can connect the the wireless network which my Apple TV can not see (6) tried different chanels (frequencies on my wifi router) and turned off all other devices that may cause interference (7) tried disabling security on my wifi router (8) tried setting up my home wifi directly from a wifi router and then using my standard set-up which is router to time capsule and TC generating the wifi network. Despite all these efforts, my Apple TV can not see a single wifi network (and (9) using "other" to manually enter the network also doesn't work). The A-TV works fine with a cable connection. This leads me to believe I have a defective Apple TV. Any other repair suggestions are welcome!
For reference, my SN is C1MHCRT9DRHNI tried, but they want to charge me $19.99 to ask this simple question... And there doesn't seem to be any email address where I can ask by email.

I currently have a PC based WiFi network and am about to buy a MacBook Pro. I have 250 gb iTunes library and 100+ gb of photos. What I was going to get is the 120gb MacBook and run an external drive to store the iTunes library and photos. For intensive photographic work I'd directly connect the drive but day to day I'd connect it to the wireless network. What I want to do is to stream my music, from the wireless drive to my stereo
Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device. Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?
I also want to have the option of streaming from my iPhone.Will the drive work this way on my existing router - usb2 connected? Or do I need an apple device. Should I use an airport or Apple TV to connect to the stereo?

Hard to say when you don't give us a clue what you current router is??
USB2 is slow.. it is double slow from a network device.. and even slower if that network device doesn't actually have too much CPU power or RAM..
Even worse is the idea to move the disk from the network to the local external port.. because then format comes into play.. Apple devices can use FAT32.. yuk.. but really want HFS+.. most routers cannot talk HFS+ except apple ones.. they want NTFS or FAT32.. You can see where this is going.. buy two disks.. one for library.. one for a scratch disk .. usb3 will be great.. or thunderbolt even better. And when finished copy your project to the network drive..
Think carefully about backups.. they are important too.. might be time to invest in a real NAS. Not toy systems with USB.. dangling off them. -
Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

My husband and I each have an IPhone 6. We are using the same WiFi network and the same Apple ID, the phone numbers are different. When we are at home, both phone receive calls meant for one of the phones. Call can be answered from either phone. Is this a new feature and How can I turn it off?
go into settings then FaceTime then turn off iPhone cellular calls

My apple TV is finding and connecting to the Wifi network but then says it is not connected to the internet and then I cannot find it on the iPad through airplay. I don't want it connected to the internet (as in www.) because for the use I have I only need to use the Apple tvs locally in a sports hall as scoreboards. I have 3 others working on the same router and they are working fine (as of yesterday)
On my screen I see (obviously not written like this)
network connect- yes
signal strength- fine
Ip address- fine
DCN- fine
Activation- Failed
This is the only negative I can find and the statement that the Apple TV has connected to the wifi but is not connected to the internet.
Where has it gone wrong for me. Please helpIt is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks -

I am looking at setting up a Local Wifi Network using a Mac and Airport Extreme.
I wish to store presentations on the Mac.
I wish to teach from the presentations through Apple TVs in my classrooms using IPad to control presentation, annotate etc
I don't want to have to upload presentation to iPad from Mac as this will be in server room.
I don't want to access internet so iCloud Drive is out of the question.
What options do I have?
Many thanks
DaveYou would need to find an app that lets you remotely access the Mac (e.g. Logmein). You would need to be aware of how much the network can handle.

When I am standing near the Apple TV with my iPhone, the iPhone lists a number of nearby WiFi networks, including the one in my home. I have running the Apple TV over ethernet up till now, so unfortunately the unit is out of warranty.
That is a modem/wifi problem. Contact your ISP.

After update to 5.0.2, Apple TV can no longer see 802.11n WiFi networks
Dear all,
since the last update to Software 5.0.2, my Apple TV has been unable to see 802.11n/5Ghz WiFi networks, which worked fine prior to the update. Has anybody experienced this problem and found a solution to it? The device connects fine to other types of networks, but my main network is not even listed in the list of available networks, and can't be found by searching by name....
Thanks in advance,
BrendanPS I'm also having problems with Home Sharing dropping the connection, which I never had with the previous software versions

I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!
