AppleTV Login Box disappears before I can enter my information in Chrome




Everytime I try to login to AppleTV on Chrome, I get approximately one second of the login box being there before it completely disappears. I have white-listed Apple, restarted my browser, cleared my cache, restarted my computer, all to no avail. It's like the script is broken. Am I just not meant to watch Ted Lasso anymore? Screenshot is of the second after the box goes away. Clicking "Continue" does nothing. Attempting to login from other parts of the Apple website does not keep me logged in for TV.

Windows, Windows 10

Had the same issue. Solved it after hints here. But in a way that I believe may be preferable to many of you. You do not have to reset your whole browser!

In Chrome I did the following, which worked for me:

  • Load the Apple TV site & get stuck at the login page
  • Hit F12 to open up the developer console
  • In the top menu select the "Application" tab
  • There, somewhere in the middle, find "Clear site data" link/button.
  • Hit it. I checked the "including third-party cookies" as well.


Problem solved.

100% good call, this is not a google issue and its a joke that they would even act like a break in THEIR website is chromes fault. I can say as a front-end developer that the responsibility is 100% on them. ....As if web devs are contacting google every time their site breaks on chrome, or as if chrome wasnt the standard. This isnt the military or some old education system. Your site should work on chrome.

This fix was reported by johnny appseed above. The problem is some people don't want to reset their browers back to the original default settings. So for them this is not a fix.


I implemented this "fix" and now I have to relogin to all my social accounts, such as twitter, facebook, ect. Plus I have to reinstall all the browser addons I had. Fortunatly for me this was not a big deal, for others it may be a big deal.

It's an issue for me on Firefox and not Chrome. So it's an issue with Apple. Even logging in on Chrome, it continues to tell me to "try it free" even though I just paid $6.99 to watch Friday night baseball. I can't even get the login box on Firefox. This is complete unacceptable for one of the largest companies in the world.

Sorry, can't help with that. I left Apple about 12 yrs ago for similar problems as this, it was always some lockdown feature that kept me from doing something I wanted to do. My solution, a mind-numbing 1 week experience moving over to Android with the data, etc., then after that, I've been very happy. I recently signed up for Apple MLS package and now can't even log in because Apple is the one website that apparently doesn't 'like' Firefox and I can't even log in to Apple now. Just re-confirms my decision to leave and deal with the stare down look from my peers because I don't have an Apple phone. Sorry if I've wasted your time with my venting.
