Why dose atv 3rd gen have a problem accessing hidden ssid ?

Why can i not connect my Apple TV 3rd Gen to my wireless which has a hidden SSID plus access via mac address,
My desktop computers, laptops, ipads, phones, androids can all connect after manually entering details.
The ATV will only connect if SSID is broadcasting even with mac address access,

I have tried restarting the router. I've also tried this on a different network and experienced the same results. I guess I should probably contact Support and see if they'll do an exchange.

  • Home Sharing not seen by iPhone or ATV 3rd Gen

    I ran in to this problem before with Home Sharing not being seen by mt ATV 3rd Gen or any iPhone in my household when I upgraded iTunes back in Feb. The solution I found before was in my firewall rules (I believe) for my AV software (I also made changes to Windows Firewall even though it is disabled). I updated iTunes to 12.2.1.27 last night and the problem has returned.
    iTunes is signed in and Home Sharing is on. ATV is also signed in and HS is on. My iPhone 6+ can connect to my ATV. I signed all devices out and turned off HS then signed back in a turned HS on with no resolution. I followed Apples directions for removing Apple software in order, then re installed the older version of iTunes that I had saved. Still no luck. I have disabled the firewalls in my router as well as my AV firewall and Windows Firewall is always disabled. I have tried the iTunes "Run as Administrator" solution others have suggested with no luck as well.
    It seems like Bonjour is simply not doing what it is supposed to.

    GO to programs and feature in your control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it, reboot the pc and if your firewalls on check to make sure bonjour is still on the list. Start iTunes back up and everything should Be working again. I did this yesterday to solve this problem after updating. If things still don't work try restoring windows firewall to default settings to clear the allowed list, then repair bonjour, reboot, re ad Apple software to the firewall list and start up iTunes. I have to do this everyte iTunes updates And it always works for me.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

  • MBP Retina issues with ATV 3rd gen

    Hi there,
    I have been attempting to use airplay on my ATV 3rd gen on my MBP retina and have not been successful. All my other devices work (ipad, iphone) not sure what the issue may be. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    AirPlay in general or AirPlay Mirroring?
    Is your MBP-R running the latest OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)?
    Is AirPlay activated on your ATV?
    Are your MPB-R and ATV signed into the same Apple ID?
    Are your MBP-R and ATV on the same subnet?

  • How do i transfer movies from ATV 3rd gen to iMac?

    how do i transfer movies from ATV 3rd gen to iMac? help!

    You don't - AppleTV 3 store nothing.
    Instead (assuming th efeature is available in your country), you download from the internet in iTunes.
    Either on the iTunes store home page or in the Movies category you should find Purchased Quicklinks on the right side of the screen - redownload movies there.  Set download quality in iTunes Preferences.

    What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad?  I have no problems accessing it from my laptop.  Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
    I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble.  However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

    Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
    Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

  • TS2972 ATV 3rd gen, 5.2, have to restart ATV to connect to iTunes library.

    Apple TV 3rd gen, 5.2, have to restart ATV to connect to iTunes library. When I go to Computers on the main menu, it says to turn on Home Share on the computer. It is on with proper account name and password. iPad and 2 iPhones connect to iTunes library just fine. iPhone Remote app also works. This has been happening since upgrading ATV to 5.2. Any bug fixes coming soon?

    It happens to a very small minority, it's not a bug, it's a problem on your side of things.

  • Touch 3rd Gen. Syncing Problem/Can't Download Latest iTunes

    to preface these are the software/devices I have....
    iPod Touch 3rd Generation 4.0.2
    iTunes 9.2.1
    Safari 4.1.1
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz PowerPC
    So the Problem.....
    I hadn't connected my iPod Touch to sync it in maybe 4 days and decided this morning (9/2/10) to do so. I opened iTunes, turned on my Touch, and connected them. As usual iPhoto popped up and started to import photos from my Touch to my PowerBook and after that was done I expected my Touch to appear in iTunes and begin syncing as always. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.
    I went thru the basic, "Look for your device in the File drop down." and it's not there either.
    So, I went to apple support to troubleshoot (http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/#section_1) and here is where I get really frustrated.....
    According to apple troubleshoot I need to have Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later (no problem, I have 10.4.11) and I need the latest version of iTunes (PROBLEM!!!). See, to get the latest version of iTunes I need Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. So why is it that to have my Touch 3rd Gen connect to iTunes I need to have OS X 10.4.11, but to get the latest version of iTunes required I need OS X 10.5?
    If this issue isn't resolved swiftly then apple will be receiving a VERY ****** OFF EMAIL.

    I don't think your problem has anything to do with the iTunes version. First, if it worked yesterday, it should work today, unless you had upgraded your ipod firmware (but I don't think it's possible to do this without first upgrading iTunes). Secondly, as far as I know, OS X 10.5 is a paid upgrade. If that's the case, Apple couldn't possibly expect everyone to buy the upgrade or be unable to use their ipods ever again. When they say you need the latest version of iTunes, they mean "the latest version for the operating system on your computer", not "the latest version that it is possible to have". I just upgraded iTunes to 9.2.1 this week, even though 10 is available for other systems.
    I think there are 2 possible causes for your problem:
    1) Your iTunes became corrupted somehow (which happens from time to time with software). In this case, just re-install the version you have (download it online) or upgrade to a newer version (in iTunes, click Help > Check for upgrades).
    2) Your ipod or computer has a hardware problem, possibly with the USB cable or ports. You can try syncing with a different USB port or cable (and in the last resort, a different computer) to see what happens. Otherwise, a technician might be needed.
    Good luck.

  • Update 7.0 will not install on ATV 3rd Gen.

    I've been trying for days to get update 7.0 installed on my Apple TV 3rd Gen.  It downloads fine but immediately says "The Update Failed..."  I have restarted, reset, and restored the ATV but the update continues to fail.  I'm out of ideas and can't seem to find similar issues online so I'm guessing this is an isolated problem.  Any ideas?

    Well, it took three Restores but the update is installing...finally!

  • Image quality with ATV 3rd gen

    Hi.  I have a 2nd gen ATV and am very happy with it.  I use it to stream movies from my iTunes library on my Mac, and occasionally from Netflix.  I recently  bought the 3rd gen ATV.  Over the weekend I used the 3rd gen ATV to stream portions of some movies from my iTunes library to see if I would notice a difference in image quality on my 47" LDC TV.  Some were better (the 1080i HD ones) than with the 2nd gen ATV, most looked about the same, but it surprised me that a few looked worse.
    I don't know how to describe the ones that looked worse.  It's not an issue of pixelation.  I believe Hollywood produces films on 35mm or 70mm format, whereas TV and home movies often are on lower quality 8mm or 16mm format.  With the 3rd gen ATV, the movies that I thought looked worse seemed to have the appearance of lower quality 8mm / 16mm movies, rather than of higher quality 35mm / 70 mm movies.  The characters and images on the screen looked more plastic somehow, with less depth.  Any yes, I am talking about 2D images, not 3D.  The movies in question were purchased from the iTunes store in SD format.  They look better on my 2nd gen ATV than they do on my 3rd gen ATV.
    Has anyone else had this experience?  Is there a setting I am missing somewhere on the 3rd gen ATV that might cause this affect?  Thank you

    SD movies need to be scaled to fill your screen.
    If your TV has a 1080 screen and your Apple TV is set to output at 1080, then your Apple TV does all the scaling.
    Your Apple TV 2 has a maximum output of 720, therefore your TV had to do some of the scaling.
    If your TV is significantly better than the Apple TV at scaling, this may account for what you say.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • Ipod 3rd gen nano syncing problems.

    My nano 3rd gen is fine, but when I plug it into Itunes, it says it's syncing, but on the ipod, it shows connected, but it was done syncing, and Itunes apparently can't finish syncing, even though the ipod shows completion. I can't add any songs either. Please assist me in this matter.

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes
