This seems to be the same issue that was listed earlier but the Solution did not work for me. When I enter my Apple ID and iCloud password, it sends me a verification code which I enter. After I enter it, it spins for a bit and tells me that iCloud is unavailable. Any help would be appreciated!
I had this issue too. And just found a workaround.
It seems that older generation Apple TV’s time-out too quickly before the verification code can be submitted. The solution is to append the verification code to the end of your password right in the same password field. The. AppleTV never asks for the verification code separately. Do this:
Depending on what screen in AppleTV you started from which it requested your password, you may have to do this twice.
Hope this helps.

Add one more to the long list. I have the same issue as the rest of the gang.
yes that is pitifull. Zillion of hours spent by all on the issue. just no way I am going to buy another AppleTV to work around the issue. good try guys @ Apple ! .. but that is a shame
Same issue. Why does iTunes log in but not iCloud.
iCloud isn’t set up for the Apple ID account.
that’s the message I’m getting.
Unable to sign in
This worked - Many thanks
What exactly worked? Adding a 2FA code generated from a trusted device to the end of your password on an A1247 when logging into iCloud?
I am getting the same message. When I contacted Apple they were unable to resolve and ask me to take that to the apple care and it’s not free. It’s really annoying

Same here, I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support and they finally just told me that “maybe one day Apple will push out an update to fix it”.
