YouTube is working again on Apple TV2 in San Diego.

It was working properly again when I tried it this morning here in San Diego, CA.  Did not have to do anything like reboot, update firmware, log-in, etc.; it just started working.  Let's hope it stays working.

As I posted on another thread that Houston, Texas was back up.
I really want to know who's bright idea at Apple to have the users to jump through all these hoops of erasing the units and reinstalling software... REALLY? COME ON APPLE... YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
Apple you need to have better proceedures than that. How about having someone in a lab setting try testing the problem before you have users erase all the data on the unit. There goes all the favorites and wishlist settings. I can see a re-boot or power-cycle, I get that but to erase and reformate. JEZZZZZZZZZ that is down right S T U P I D!!!!
This could have been corrected SOONER, if better troubleshooting proceedures were used; instead of sweeping things under the run (so to speak). The idea is if it gets bad enough, that there were be multiple users complaining and then Apple will get off their duffs and do something. MY GOD, Apple has enough money to take care of these sorts of things in a reasonable and cost effective manor.
It's not that things weren't working or broke... that is life... but to just wait until it gets to a critical mass before trying to work on a real world problem is shoddy!

  • YouTube Stopped Working on my Apple TV

    Today I noticed that my YouTube functionality stopped working on my Apple TV... Only one day since the feature was added with the 1.1 update.
    YouTube still showed in the menu, and I could access the YouTube menus, but all the menu items except History would not work... I would only get the spinning busy icon when trying to access any of the YouTube menus. It worked fine yesterday. I thought perhaps YouTube was down. But I had no trouble accessing YouTube via my Mac. I tried to log out and log back in... made no difference.
    I tried waiting some time for the trouble to pass... still no change.
    I came here to see if others were also having trouble... but I see no mention of it here.
    So I then decided to restart my Apple TV. -- Now YouTube is working again! :o)
    I am posting this message in case anyone else encounters the same problem.
    I don't know if this was just a fluke thing or a sign of a possible bug somewhere.
    Cheers,

    It could be a bug, but it could also be due to overly high network traffic from AppleTVs to YouTube.
    I would not be at all surprised if AppleTV does not connect to the main YouTube site but rather some otherwise inaccessible sub-domain with some not all of the main site's functionality.
    If you think about it:
    - only some content is in AppleTV format and available
    - the interface is not the one you get in a web browser
    So, I strongly suspect AppleTVs are connecting to a secondary YouTube service of some kind.

  • Homesharing not working with my Apple TV2

    I can't get homesharing to work. I type in my username and PW in iTune, I authorized my computer, but then Apple TV2 keeps telling me I need to turn on Homesharing on my computer? What's the deal?

    After much groaning I think I have finally figured this out. My Apple TV worked fine for more than a year, then after an update it kept losing home sharing. I finaly noticed that this coincided with my computer display going to sleep. So after some investigation I changed my energy saver settings to NOT put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible. That seems to have taken care of it. I don't know why Apple couldn't figure this out.

  • Hardly any of my YouTube subscriptions work with my Apple TV using the latest software (24Aug2011).

    Since the recent 4.3.3? update on my Apple TV Gen 2 I've noticed most of my youtube suscription channels display the channel name in the list but their channels are empty when I select them and some just display 3 random videos i.e. not the latest three videos...what's going on? This used to work fine!!! I can search for the videos and they play fine so it's not permissions on youtube it's 100% apples buggy untested software update.
    Seriously Apple how can you allow this update into production without properly testing the youtube subscription channels!? surely it's gotta be a big thing to test!?
    Please patch this asap and don't open a whole bunch of new bugs along the way! you end up resolving one issue and creating another 5! help!
    Yes I've tried reboots and resets and none work!!!! it worked fine then a few seconds later I updated my ios software on the device and this problem occurred...grrrrrr
    Anyone else?

  • Strange Youtube HD Performance Issue with Apple TV2

    Playing Youtube HD clips of around 3 minute duration, takes about 5 minutes to buffer on my new ATV2! Yet my fathers ATV2 buffers the same clips almost instantly?!!!
    Both ATV2s have same OS version (4.2.1)
    My TalkTalk Broadband speedtest.net = 91ms ping, 8.9Meg Download speed
    Fathers BT broadband speedtest.net = 35ms ping, 6.7Meg Download Speed
    I use ISP DNS (have tried Google, OpenDNS even BT DNS with no improvement).
    Fathers uses ISP DNS.
    I have tried connecting router to ATV2 via ethernet with NO improvement in performance?!!
    I have restored ATV2, have changed router to different channel with NO improvement.
    Any suggestions as to why my Fathers ATV2 would stream HD content instantly when mine takes 5+ minutes?????!!!

    Sorry, forgot to add that if I view a YouTube HD clip on my iPhone, it buffers almost immediately.
    If I then hit Airplay on that clip to go to the ATV2, it plays almost instantly on ATV2!
    Yet if I browse to the same clip with the the ATV2 and try to play, it takes 5+ minutes to buffer???
    Could I have a faulty Apple TV???

    Is it possible to run BBC iPlayer from an iPhone4 through AirPlay to Apple TV2 please? I keep getting the message "An error occured loading this content. Please try again later"

    First, try a system reset on the iPod.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, reset the Apple TV.  I'm not at mine right now and I'm talking from memory but the reset is somewhere in the Settings menu.

  • Apple TV will no longer Sync and YouTube Not Working

    Recently my Apple TV (160GB version) has stopped syncing with my copy of iTunes.
    Previously it synced fine and when ever I lunched iTunes it would show up under my devices. But now it behaves rather strangely. Every now and again my Apple TV shows up in iTunes (E.g. every few days for about 2 minutes when previously it was always there) and when I try and press the sync button it says it is syncing but nothing ever syncs.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?
    Both my MacBook and Apple TV are connected wirelessly to an Apple AirPort Extreme (both are within range and show up as connected to the base station).
    I have checked and I have iTunes music sharing allowed on my MacBook.
    I also just noticed that my Apple TV no longer connects to You Tube (can't see any videos if I am signed in or not). Although in AirPort utility it says my Apple TV is connected to the base station (signal = -79, Noise = -92, Rate = 1) and my Apple TV says it's connected to the network.
    I tried to in my Apple TV into my MacBook via a Ethernet cable (went into the sharing option in System Pref and started "Sharing your AirPort connection" to computers using "Built-in Ethernet") and it synced my content from iTunes but I still am unable to access You Tube. For example I go into the You Tube menu and click "Most Viewed" and it takes about 2-3 minutes to load the page before an error message is displayed.
    I also noticed I can't watch any film trailers (although I only attempted to do this for the first time today), the names of the films come up with the description but the film image on the left and the actual trailer do not load. Do I need to open up extra ports on my MacBook to get this all to work?
    Sorry if all that was very wordy but I love my little Apple TV as it lets me watch Podcasts and You Tube videos on my TV. Any help on getting this fixed would be really useful.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • HT1551 Can apple please answer the persistent question on why Hulu services, personal video via airplay, Netflix, suddenly stops working, and yet all along it has been working well on Apple TV? This is in contrast to YouTube, which is working without a fl

    Hulu, Netflix and my personal videos have been working fairly well on appletv. Suddenly, without warning, they have all failed. My subscription via my apple ID is on automatic renewal, so the issue of non-paid services does not arise. On the other hand, YouTube is working perfectly well on appleTV.
    Several solutions offered in the discussion group such as setting the appletv on sleep mode are not technical solutions. Rather, these solutions offered remind me of analogue age, when one had to hit the side of a TV set when reception failed.
    In my case, I am using the same HD TV set that has been working all along. A new cable has failed, but if I am told to pay for an advice related to a fault that is not mine, I would rather buy a set box that is void of appletv or apple.
    Apple please give a clear, well defined technical solution on the problem with your device, and to be specific on the following error:
    "This content requires HDCP for playback"
    I know what HDCP is, and one cannot say that this is related to a dynamic code that evolves with time, failing at a time of its convinience.

    It is considered rude to double post on a fourm.

  • After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

    After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

    Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks.  Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up.  When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked.  I check it, and all seems correct.  The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked.  Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID.  The log-in loop continues.  For years my keychain has worked perfectly.  What has changed in Mavericks?

    If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

  • Apple TV2 is not working property

    Hi Guys.
    I have just two weeks with my apple TV 2 and it drives me crazy.
    I have my apple TV2 connected via wi-fi with a Base Station Apple Router. When I'm trying to watch some movies (HD) it worked perfect but in many cases it doesn't, and some, times gives me an error that suggest that I have to try to connect to my Mac later.
    I made all the updates: for my Itunes, my Mac, the Base Station and the Apple TV2. Other thing that I tried was connect my Apple TV directly to my Base Station and nothing.
    Can anybody tell me what to do? Is there a specific configuration that could be recommended for de Base Station and de AppTV2?
    Regards,

    Ok... this is the answer for the moment!!!
    Everyone has the same problem as I do. The only way I found to solve it was to restart my "Base Station" router and then remake the wireless router connection with the Apple TV 2.
    It's a shame, but in my case it worked. I guess that would be the procedure from de moment until APPLE make some important update to the software of the APPLE tv.
