Question

Apple TV model A1427 - activate failed

Every time I try to reset my Apple TV - model A1427 I get the status "Activate - Failed" in the menu About.

That means that it can not connect with any Airplay-devices.

HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

Please first try unplugging the Apple TV from it's power source for 2-3 minutes, next re-plug it in and retest. If that fails, please try the following:

Unplug your modem from its power source and Restart Modem.
Unplug your router from its power source and Restart router.
Unplug Apple TV from Power for 2-3 minutes – re-plug in and retest.

Then it time to take it to your local Apple Authorized Service Provider. By the way, did you buy as a brand new product or did you get it used from someone?

Purchased new, but about 7 years ago. Had to reset when we changed internet provider. Now I can't seem to activate for airplay.
