  • Got a new computer, just downloaded i-tunes and such all over again. Now wanting to watch a movie and Apple TV is saying "cannot connect to internet"

    We're trying to watch a movie using our Apple TV. It is saying "cannot connect to internet?"  WE thought it was because we just got a new computer, so i went through the process of downloating i-tunes all over again...yet we still have the problem. ??? PLease help

    What exactly has changed?
    Just the computer, other things?
    More information on your actual setup is needed -  Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
    In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself.  The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
    Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection.  By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.

  • Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

    Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

    There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
    http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
    It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox.  Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK  (your iTunes library will not be affected)

  • HT202157 Why does Apple TV say Netflix is not available when I can watch it on my computer?

    I have reset my Apple tv to factory defaults, but it did not ask me to activate it again.
    For the last two days everytime i try watch a Netflix movie is says Netflix is not availble please try again latter.
    I have also power cycled my apple tiv by leaving it unplugged five minutes and upgraded the software.
    I was using it with no problem and am not aware of anything I did to hurt the configuraton.
    Again I have reset and restarted and power cycled several times.
    Not sure why it did not ask me to activate it again.
    I can also watch trailers and get to the sign in page on other channels.
    This is the first Apple product I have ever bought because I don't like the fact everything they have is propriatary.
    I work in IT and there is a good reason why you don't see Apple servers in datacenters.
    Maybe at an art department in a marketing company at the most.

    I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

  • Why does Apple TV says it is not authorized to play content sometimes when I use the iPad Remote?

    Sometimes when using my Apple TV device with my TV off and trying to play music using the iPad Remote app, the app hangs and no music plays. When I turn on my TV to see what's going on there is a message suggesting the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content. Clearly, that is not the case and when I use the normal Apple TV remote to select the music, it plays fine. I use iTunes Match and generally stream my music from there on the Apple TV. I have both HDMI and optical connections to my receiver. Any idea why this could be happening? I would say it happens several times a week.

    This works for most:

    Try locating a free TV Show episode in iTunes then 'buy' it on AppleTV 1.
    We should not have to do this though.
    They've forgotten about original AppleTV users.

  • Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

    my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

    Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
    If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
    If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
    If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
    Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
    Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.

  • Why does Apple TV keep losing connection to home library?

    My Apple TV keeps stopping every 4-5 minutes when playing my iTunes library from my shared home computer.  I have to keep refreshing iTunes from my computer to have Apple TV find my library again.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  I've checked firewall settings and the computer is not on standby...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Why does apple tv 2 lose connection with netgear router through a wired connection?

    I have Apple TV 2 connected to a Netgear wnder3700 through a wired connection.  The Apple TV is up-to-date.  However, from day 1 (before firmware updates and currently) apple tv will lose internet connection.  All other devices on the network remain connected.  the only solution is to physically unplug the the apple tv and let it reconnect on reboot.  Same issue exists on a wireless connection.

    I would update the firmware of the router
