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:


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