Can't log in to Apple TV on new LG C3 using Apple App

I can't log in to Apple TV with my new LG C3, the app downloads and it brings up apple but will not let me sign in, just spins. No error code nothing. Have a LG C2 works fine and works on two Roku sets in the house. I have reloaded and rebooted. Nothing works.

Sooo....it now works, I had update LG TV software after installing all apps EXCEPT AppleTV. The most recent LG upgrade was not good. Had a friend that had just bought the exact same TV and AppleTV worked fine right off the bat. Sooo today I went into setting's on LG C3 and "RESET" to original state. Reloaded all the apps including AppleTV and everything works fine now. Moral of the story is I reckon, do not update LG right away, and go into LG settings so auto updates do not happen. I won't be updating LG software again until i can confirm it works. Lesson learned and many hours of wasted time. Thanks to all who replied for your time. As it is valuable.

I have reloaded and rebooted.

Have you checked for TV system software updates? Such might include bug fixes and app compatibility improvements. Especially for newer models, a few improvements may be made shortly after release, that weren’t included at the factory.

Have you tried deleting and re-installing the Apple TV app?


… it brings up apple but will not let me sign in, just spins.

Do you get the app’s content screen with show tiles and the sidebar menu? Or not even that?

See if there are known outages. Not sure if this site is localized, but I assume so. System Status - Apple Support


Never brings up a login screen for password and login.

How odd. Not sure how that could be. At this time, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).
