I got apple tv 4k device from spectrum and im trying to get the different streaming apps but its saying I have to sign in to an apple device. The only apple device in my house is the 2 apple tv devices that I have. Is there a way i can sign in using that? I don't have a computer either.
Apple TV, tvOS 14
The issue is likely to be about incomplete account information.
A new Apple ID account has a few requirements:
- The email address used has to be verified (respond to message);
- The account needs its user details. Name, address, country, DoB, phone number, payment method (for optional non-free content or apps).
I don't have a computer either.
😯 That might be an issue. See how much you can set/complete at the Apple ID account site (e.g. on a smart phone or tablet — you do have one of those, I presume?).
With all the account requirements met, sign in again to the Apple TV box with this account (Settings﹥Users and Accounts﹥), and the App Store should be accessible then.

Thank you. I ended up calling apple and talking to a tech. I had to download apple music onto my phone (android) and finish set up that way. You were completely correct in your answer. Thanks for responding!
Signing in to itunes
