Hello KabbyAnn,


We see that you're having an issue with having to sign in when trying to use your Apple TV.


If you're referring to the actual Apple TV, make sure that it is running the latest version of software. If needed, follow the steps below to update the software:


  1. "Go to Settings > System > Software Updates and select Update Software.
  2. If there's an update, select Download and Install. 
  3. Wait for your Apple TV to download the update. Keep your Apple TV connected and plugged in to power until the update is complete."


Update your Apple TV


If the device is already update, make sure that you have everything set up properly for using your Apple ID on the Apple TV. The page below offers guidance to make sure this is set up correctly.
