Is my Apple TV too old

I have an older Apple TV. Model MC572LL/A. The copywright/TM is showing 2007, I didn't think I got it that long ago, but maybe I did.


Is this Apple TV too old to sign into my ITUNES account from? There is no icon on the home page for the 'App Store' and I wanted to add apps to it. Again, maybe it's too old to do that??


I'm using my ITUNES Apple ID and password that I use on all my other devices to try to log int to ITUNES and every time I do, I get an error that says, 'Apple ID or Password or incorrect'.


Any help would be appreciated.

Apple TV (2nd generation) (A1378/MC572LL/A) is a 2010 model (sold from 2010 to 2012), so that discrepancy is a mystery.

Maybe it's too old to do that [add apps]??

Indeed. You’ll need a 4th generation or later model to be able to add apps from the App Store.


Every time I [try to log in], I get an error that says, 'Apple ID or Password or incorrect'.

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.
