Apple TV 3rd Gen (A1469) isn’t connecting to iCloud

Hi,

I recently bought a used Apple TV 3rd Gen (A1469) from Value Village. It works perfectly fine with internet and apps, but it isn’t connecting to my iCloud. I’ve tried the 2-Step Verification by typing in my password and then the Verification Code from my iPhone. It still isn’t working even a day after trying it multiple times. (PS: It’s running tvOS 7.7, if that helps whatsoever)

If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.


Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.

Excellent. Then it is up-to-date.
